“Pause.
Listen for the whispers of your Soul.
Soul quietly flows through every part of you.” ― Nancy Lankston
As we begin the month of July, plenty of stress, chaos and uncertainty still swirls around us. Mars, Pluto and Uranus continue to be active and the Saturn/Neptune conjunction amplifies a sense of fear (Saturn) and disorientation (Neptune).
We are in an unprecedented time in 2025 due to all of the outer planets changing signs. Humans like to feel that they have control and that they have a good idea what will happen in the future. The more we can adapt to the new energy and give up the idea of control, the easier it will be to navigate the challenges. Here is a recap of the outer planets and the sign changes they have made in 2025:
- Pluto moved from Capricorn to Aquarius. This is a once-in-248-years occurrence.
- Saturn moved from Pisces to Aries. Saturn stays in a sign approximately 2.5 years.
- Neptune moved from Pisces to Aries. Neptune stays in a sign approximately 14 years.
- Uranus moves from Taurus to Gemini. Uranus stays in a sign approximately 7 years.
Just a quick glance at the above table confirms that we are in a time of profound change. However, even in the midst of this changeable, disruptive energy, four planets are turning retrograde (joining Pluto who turned retrograde on May 4). Retrograde planets ask us to step back, quiet down and re-assess rather than react.
Those planets are:
- July 4: Neptune turns retrograde at 2 degrees Aries until December 10 2025 at 29 degrees Pisces.
- July 13: Saturn turns retrograde at 1 degree Aries and resumes forward motion on November 28, 2025 at 25 degrees Pisces.
- July 30: Chiron moves retrograde at 27 degrees Aries. It resumes forward motion on January 2, 2026 at 22 degrees Aries.
- Pluto turned retrograde on May 4 at 3 degrees Aquarius. It turns direct at 1 degree Aquarius on October 14, 2025.
When you feel unsettled during this changeable time, just remember that we are in a very special period of change. Change is challenging, but the more each of us can stay centered and project love and calm, the more we can help bring a new and better time of prosperity and peace.
July 4: Venus Enters Gemini Conjunct Uranus at 0 Degrees Gemini. Venus in Gemini until July 31 shakes things up in the romance and finance departments. You are ready to try something new and exciting. Rather than upsetting your relationship or budget, find something unusual (Uranus) and fun to do that is budget friendly.
July 7: Uranus Enters Gemini. Venus Trine Pluto at 3 Degrees Gemini/Aquarius. Uranus will be in Gemini until May 22, 2033, except for a short retrograde back into Taurus from November 7, 2025 until April 25, 2026. Uranus loves being in Gemini, a kindred air sign, where it will bring unexpected, and sometimes startling, breakthroughs and shifts in communication, transportation and education. On a personal level, find the house in your birth chart that contains the sign of Gemini. That is where things have become stale and a change and refresh needs to be made.
July 10: Full Moon at 18 Degrees 50 Minutes Capricorn at 4:36 PM EDT. A Capricorn Full Moon spotlights your public persona, career and adherence to traditional values, versus the need to shake things up (Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus entering Gemini). Many of you will be questioning your career choices and whether or not your present career matches your values and who you are on a deeper level. Others will be feeling a need to spend more time on career matters or, conversely, spend more time in more nurturing or home-based activities (Sun in Cancer opposition). This Capricorn Full Moon will bring those issues, and more, out into the open to be adjusted or resolved.
July 17: Mars at 17 Degrees Virgo Sesiquiquadrate Pluto at 2 Degrees Aquarius. Conflict, bullying, and violence are possible when Mars is sesiquiquadrate Pluto. This aspect, however, is very good for providing the energy for big accomplishments, so long as you retain your integrity and use good intentions in all interactions.
July 19: Sun Square Chiron at 27 Degrees Cancer/Aries. Squares are challenges. When the Sun is square Chiron, you are challenged to come to a resolution about those things that have wounded you. Because both the Sun and Chiron are in Cardinal signs, you will need to consciously take action to resolve any lingering feelings of hurt or trauma.
July 20: Venus at 17 Degrees Gemini Sesiquiquadrate Pluto at 2 Degrees Aquarius. Venus sesiquiquadrate Pluto is similar to the energy on July 17, except that Venus in a challenging aspect to Pluto will tend more toward intense emotional confrontations and power plays within relationships. Instead of fighting, immerse yourself in doing something you really love. Artists may find that their artwork has an enhanced depth and meaning at this time.
July 22: Sun Enters Leo. Mars Conjunct North Node at 20 Degrees Virgo and Opposition South Node at 20 Pisces. Venus at 20 Degrees Gemini Square North Node at 20 Degrees Pisces and South Node at 20 Degrees Virgo. The intensity continues with Mars and Venus both in hand aspect to the Nodal axis. Use this time to re-assess whether you are truly living your life purpose (Nodes) and, if not, what steps can you take to move closer to your purpose.
July 23: Sun Sextile Uranus at 0 Degrees Leo/Gemini. Venus Square Mars at 21 Degrees Gemini/Virgo. The Sun in Leo until August 23rd, brings an enhanced sense of playfulness, confidence and self-expression. The Sun sextile Uranus stimulates your imagination and creativity and helps you overcome any self-imposed limitations. Go for it!
July 24: Sun at 1-2 Degrees Leo Trine Saturn/Neptune Conjunction at 1-2 Degrees Aries. These aspects can be described as:
- Sun in Leo – Let me shine and be a Star.
- Sun trine Saturn – Do I really dare to go for it?
- Sun trine Neptune – I am so thankful for all of my blessings!
July 24-25: New Moon at 2 Degrees 8 Minutes Leo at 7:23 AM EDT, Opposition Pluto at 2 Degrees Aquarius. Let your creativity and self-expression flow under this Leo New Moon. Leo is the sign of the child so enjoy unusual (trine to Uranus) fun (Leo) activities.
Beware of a battle of wills, problems with authority figures and emotional (Moon) power struggles (Pluto) of all kinds due to the Sun/Moon opposition to Pluto.
July 28: Venus at 27 Gemini Sextile Chiron at 27 Aries. You may find yourself ruminating about past hurts and emotional woundings. The good news is that Venus sextile Chiron helps you heal and to move on from those old stories.
July 30: Venus Enters Cancer. Venus in Cancer until August 25 brings a loving, sensitive, nurturing and protective energy to the challenging Mars and Pluto vibes that we are all feeling. Now is a good time to reach out to build bridges with family members. Of course, family members aren’t necessarily those in your birth family, but can be friends, neighbors and even your pets. The idea is the warmth, devotion and care that Venus in Cancer brings.
July 31: Sun Conjunct Mars at 9 Degrees Leo. The Sun conjunct Mars gives you a burst of energy and the motivation to get started on projects. However, when the Sun is conjunct Mars, your ego needs are amplified and you are more apt to react angrily to the slightest provocation. In addition, you are more impulsive under this aspect, which can lead to accidents and unintended consequences. In summary, this is a very helpful aspect if used in the right way.
I will be giving mini astrology readings at my booth (Aspen Intuitives – Space #8 under the big tree) at the Carbondale Mountain Fair, Carbondale, Colorado, the last weekend in July. I would love to say “Hi” to you if you are at the fair.

The visionary starts with a clean sheet of paper and reimagines the world.” —Malcolm Gladwell (Neptune)
I discovered that a fresh start is a process. A fresh start is a journey—a journey that requires a plan. —Vivian Jokotade (Mars and Saturn)
The big news for the last part of May into June and forward is Saturn’s move into Aries on May 24. Saturn will be in Aries for the next couple of years, except for a brief retrograde back into Pisces from September 2025 until February 2026.
Saturn in Aries is part of a continuing connection Saturn has with Neptune at zero degrees Aries. Saturn and Neptune are part of the big shift made by all of the outer planets as they move into new signs in 2025.
In the photo above, the mist in the distance represents the Neptunian veil of foggy perception and illusion. Yet, when we immerse ourselves in it, we feel our intuition expanding and we are infused with a sense of awe and spiritual connection. The well-defined path relates to Saturn, which brings sense of direction to your endeavors.
Saturn is known as the “Great Taskmaster.” It is the planet of responsibility, patience and limitation. It requires you to “toe the line” within a structured setting and to plan and work hard to achieve your goals. Saturn’s role is to prepare you and keep you focused. It brings rewards, but on its own schedule and only once you have proved yourself.
Neptune wants you to dream the impossible dream, while Saturn absolutely requires you to be real and authentic. Ask yourself?
- How much do I desire the wished for outcome?
- How confident am I that you I can be successful?>
- How much work am I willing to do to bring about that outcome?
- Am I willing to be patient and practice persistence, even when the desired outcome looks out of my reach?
Combining the power of Neptune to dream big with Saturn’s power to plan and define purpose, along with focused work (Saturn) can help you manifest your dreams (Neptune).
June 1: Venus Conjunct Chiron at 25 Degrees Aries. Venus and Chiron are trine the Leo Moon and sextile Jupiter. The beneficial vibes of both Venus and Jupiter assist you in looking at old wounds (Chiron) and offer healing energy to resolve or, at least, to move past old disagreements and hurtful events.
June 6: Venus Enters Taurus. Venus in Taurus brings your focus to your love life, nature and financial matters. Venus is sextile the big planet Jupiter as Venus enters Cancer. You may be tempted to spend more than you should on pretty things, especially items for the home. Taurus loves security, so its best to practice restraint when deciding how and when to spend your money.
June 8: Sun at 18 Gemini Sesiquiquadrate Pluto at 3 Aquarius. If you have planets near 18 degrees Gemini or 3 Aquarius, you may want to wait a few days before taking action, especially when communicating with others,
June 8-9: Mercury Enters Cancer June 8 and Jupiter Enters Cancer June 9. Mercury in Cancer adds emotional sensitivity and empathy to your communications. You may find that you are having more discussions about your home, especially around making it more “homey.” Mercury will be in Cancer until June 26 and Jupiter will be in Cancer until June 30, 2026.
June 9: Venus Square Pluto at 3 Degrees Taurus/Aquarius. Be careful in your interactions with those close to you now. Venus square Pluto in the fixed signs of Taurus and Aquarius brings intensity and stubbornness that can result in intense battles over nothing of importance. Mercury Quincunx Pluto requires adjustment of your words and communication. Your words may be perceived as more aggressive, intense and powerful than you realize.
June 11: Full Moon at 20 Degrees 39 Minutes Sagittarius at 3:43 AM EDT. The full Moon in Sagittarius forms a grand trine with Mars in Leo and Chiron in Aries. The Sagittarius Full Moon radiates a sense of confidence, joy and optimism. Use this auspicious full moon to accomplish those things that once seemed overwhelming or impossible.
June 15: Mars Square Uranus at 28 Degrees Leo/Taurus. Jupiter Square Saturn at 1 Degree Cancer/Aries. Mars square Uranus in the fixed signs of Leo and Taurus is a volatile, unpredictable aspect. It’s best not to engage in conflicts now, as both sides are apt to be stubborn (fixed signs) and the energy is such that any conflicts can quickly erupt into an all-out war. Jupiter square Saturn adds to the problematic energy. This aspect brings a feeling of uncertainty, tension and a “poor me” attitude. Jupiter tends toward grandiosity, while Saturn maintains that all is not well. Keep your own counsel until the volatility eases at the end of June.
June 17: Mars Enters Virgo. Mars liked being in Leo, a fellow fire sign. Both Mars and Leo like action and Mars is very visible when in Leo. Now, Mars in Virgo until August 7 is calmed down and much quieter. Use this quieter Mars to do some serious organizing and hauling away clutter. Mars in Virgo is also good for staring an exercise program or for taking part in community service work.
June 18-20: Jupiter Square Neptune at 2 Degrees Cancer/Aries. Mars at 1 Degree Virgo Quincunx Saturn and Neptune at 2 Degrees Aries. Jupiter wants you to feel optimistic, but things just seem too confusing when Jupiter is square Neptune. Mars in Virgo quincunx Saturn effectively steps on the brakes. An adjustment is called for under the quincunx aspect. This is not the best time to initiate new projects as the steps to get to completion and the outcome just aren’t clear.
June 20: Sun Enters Cancer. Your thoughts turn to home and family when the Sun is in Cancer. You feel the need to nurture and protect those you love, whether a person or your special pet. You may want to do more baking or cooking now to express your love for family. Your emotions are stronger than usual and your emotional sensitivity is enhanced.
June 22-23: Sun at 1 Degree Cancer Square Saturn and Neptune at 1-2 Degrees Aries. Mars Quincunx Pluto at 3 Degrees Virgo/Aquarius. The Sun in Cancer square the Saturn/Neptune conjunction really amps up the energy today. See my discussion at the beginning of this newsletter for more information on the effects of Sun square Saturn and Neptune.
Mars quincunx Pluto requires finesse. Aggression and power are hallmarks of both Mars and Pluto. When they face off in a quincunx, something has to give. Be especially careful of aggressive drivers and of disagreements that quickly escalate into separations and hurt feelings.
June 24: Sun Conjunct Jupiter at 3 Degrees Cancer Quincunx Pluto at 3 Degrees Aquarius. Mercury Square Chiron at 26 Degrees Cancer/Aries. Sun conjunct Jupiter brings a big dose of optimism and a positive outlook. This aspect combined with Mercury square Chiron is superb for bringing understanding and healing to past hurts and wounding.
June 25: New Moon at 4 Degrees Cancer at 6:31 AM EDT. This Cancer New Moon is significant. The Sun and Moon are square the Saturn/Neptune conjunction. The New Moon is inconjunct Pluto and sextile Mars, which forms a yod aspect with Pluto at the Apex. Use your intuition now, but proceed cautiously. Powerful energy indeed.
June 26: Mercury Enters Leo. Mercury Trine Saturn at 1 Degree Aries. Mercury in Leo trine Saturn in Aries brings clear thinking and the energy to deal with any tasks that require concentration and attention to detail.
June 29: Mercury Opposition Pluto at 3 Degrees Leo/Aquarius. Mercury opposition Pluto is the aspect known for propaganda and indoctrination. Stand up for what you believe and do not be swayed by the glitter of false promises. Instead, use this aspect to dig deep to understand the truth behind false stories.
Moon Movement During June 2025: Note: Dates given are for New York City, NY. The time of the Moon’s movement into a sign will vary depending on where you live.
June 1: Moon enters Cancer
June 1: Moon enters Virgo
June 4: Moon enters Libra

“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.” – Joseph Campbell
“Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.” – Thich Nhat Hanh
The partial Solar Eclipse of the Sun at 9 Aries on March 29 ushered in a new beginning connected to the essence of the sign of Aries. Namely, that of action, courage, impulsiveness, anger and, most of all, new beginnings.
Neptune moved into Aries on March 30 quietly reshaping our deepest spiritual and moral understandings. Neptune had been in Pisces since April 4, 2011. Neptune is at home and feels comfortable in its “home sign” of Pisces. Now, as it moves into uncomfortable Aries, you may find that you need to confront past beliefs and to become more aggressive in your moral stance. Use the beginning stage of Neptune in Aries to review your goals, your moral understandings and your ability to become more involved in the actions and reactions of yourself and those around you. Neptune will be in Aries until March 2029, with a brief retrograde return to Pisces from Octboer 2025 through January 2026. Use this time to reassess your spiritual beliefs (Pisces) and to come to terms with what is worth fighting for (Aries) in your life and the world at large.
The April forecast is relatively quiet, but changes dramatically after April 21st when an intense, explosive, power-hungry T-square between the Sun, Mars and Pluto dominates between April 21 and April 27. Add in the Taurus New Moon on the 27th in the fixed sign of Taurus and it points to a very challenging time indeed. Saturn in Pisces all through April can help you stay grounded and focused. The sign of Pisces reminds you to not lose your compassionate, caring nature during those challenging times.
April 2: Venus Conjunct North Node at 26 Degrees Pisces.Venus Opposition South Node at 26 Degrees Pisces/Virgo. Venus conjunct the North Node and opposing the South Node urges you to appreciate and join with others for a mutually beneficial compassionate endeavor. Venus opposition South Node shows the need to leave old ideas and prejudices behind. The sign of Pisces brings universal love and the sign of Virgo brings discernment. Ask yourself: How can I join with others to bring more joy and peace to my neighborhood, my country and the world?
April 4: Saturn Sextile Uranus at 256 Degrees Pisces/Taurus. Mars Trine Saturn at 25 Degrees Cancer/Pisces. Mars Sextile Uranus at 25 Degrees Cancer/Taurus. Saturn brings a sense of responsibility and stability, while Uranus seeks to shake things up. Though the energies of Saturn and Uranus don’t mesh well, this aspect can reveal new and exciting concepts and ideas. Uranus brings revolution, new directions and breakthroughs, Mars brings the courage to embark on new endeavors and Saturn keeps you grounded and focused. Saturn also tames the more impulsive and aggressive Mars’ tendencies.
April 6-7: Venus Conjunct Saturn at 25 Degrees Pisces, Trine Mars at 25 Degrees Cancer. Venus conjunct Saturn helps you evaluate your relationships and financial matters. Mars gives you the courage and will to make changes where necessary. We treasure stability, loyalty and duty when Venus is conjunct Saturn. This would be a good time to finalize business agreements as all parties are willing to find a middle ground.
April 8: Mercury Direct Conjunct North Node, Venus and Saturn at 25-27 Degrees Pisces. Your communications become more focused when Mercury goes direct in Pisces. Stubborn relationship or money matters may now have more clarity as solutions come into focus.
April 12: Venus stations Direct at 24 Degrees Pisces. Venus turning direct in Pisces gives you a chance to make amends or to re-establish strained relationships. Beauty and artistic ventures are especially favored now.
April 12: Full Moon at 23 Degrees Libra; Sun Conjunct Chiron at 23 Degrees Aries. The Sabian symbol for this Libra Full Moon is: “A third wing on the left side of a butterfly.” It points out the fact that we are all different and unique and yet, valuable and beautiful. It is time to honor and capitalize on those things that make you unique, creative, original, distinctive and peculiar. In a judgmental world that values conformity, this Full Moon in Libra honors your individuality and encourages you to have the courage (Aries Sun in opposition) to follow your own path. Meanwhile, transiting Uranus trine the South Node (the past) and sextile the North Node (new opportunities) shakes up your sense of complacency. Ask yourself: Am I ready to give up past limitations to honor my special gifts and talents.
April 16: Mercury Enters Aries and Conjuncts Neptune at 00 Degrees Aries. Everything, but especially communication, picks up when Mercury enters Aries. Hold off on important discussions until after April 23 when Mercury moves past Neptune. The Sun square Pluto gives you the courage to make changes and bold, new moves. Just check everything out first as Neptune at zero degrees can obscure the truth or fog the issues.
April 18: Mars Enters Leo. Bring out the crayons, watercolors and musical influences of all kinds when Mars is in Leo. Also, throw your shoulders back and present your most dramatic and confident self. Its time to let your talents show, when Mars transits Leo. Just be careful not to let yourself become arrogant or condescending.
April 19: Sun Enters Taurus. Mars Trine Neptune at 00 Degrees Leo/Aries. The Sun in Taurus until May 20 is superb for consolidating financial matters. There is a lot of fear now regarding finances. The Sun in Taurus urges you to pay attention to your long-term stability and security.
April 20: Sun Square Mars at 1 Degree Taurus/Leo. Everyone will be feeling impulsive, headstrong and competitive under the Sun square Mars transit. The possibility of accidents is heightened due to a lack of restraint and common sense. Use this time to motivate yourself, not to compete with others.
April 23: Sun Square Pluto at 3 Degrees Taurus/Aquarius. Power struggles, intensity, and just plain bull-headedness are some of the keywords used to describe Sun square Pluto. Be careful in your interactions with authority figures and realize that your way is not always the best way. Sun square Pluto can bring up deep, unresolved issues, especially with authority figures. Now is not the time to confront those in power or, really, anyone you are in conflict with. Say focused, and non-confrontational and your ability for accomplishment is through the roof.
April 24: Venus Conjunct Saturn at 27 Degrees Pisces. You may not be feeling “warm and fuzzy” when Venus is conjunct Saturn. Unfortunately, you may be super focused on the faults and limitations of yourself and those around you. Use this time to spend quiet, nurturing time alone. Saturn and Venus together can bring a feeling of loneliness and discontent, whether you are with others or not.
April 26: Mars Opposition Pluto at 3 Degrees Leo/Aquarius. Mars opposition Pluto on the Leo/Aquarius axis can either be a time of great energy and accomplishment or a time of extreme power struggles, obsessions and jockeying for position. Use this time to come up with solutions, rather than aggressively pushing (Mars) your own views and your need to be number one (Mars in Leo).
April 27: New Moon at 7-8 Degrees Taurus. You feel the need to increase your feeling of safety and stability under this Taurus New Moon. Though the outside world remains in a state of flux due to the outer planets all moving into new signs this spring and summer, vow to find space to tune into your inner sense of peace and tranquility. Nature is especially healing at this time. Consider planting a garden, buying a new houseplant or just taking long walks in nature. This is truly the time to hug a tree!
April 30: Venus Enters Aries. Venus in Aries conjunct Neptune calls for an evaluation of what and who you hold dear. Venus, the planet of love, conjunct Neptune, the planet of high ideals, brings a sense of universal love and a selfless regard for all sentient creatures. When I was taking classes at the School of Metaphysics, we practiced going around the circle and saying to the person next to us: “I love you just because you are.” This is the spirit of Venus in Aries conjunct Neptune.

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. — Harriet Tubman
The month opens with a six-planet rolling stellium in Pisces (Sun, Saturn, Mercury, Moon, Neptune, Venus and the North Node). The concentrated planetary activity in Pisces at the beginning of the month gives us the opportunity to dream big dreams. Everything begins with a dream, an idea or a spark of intuition. The first part of March has that imaginative, intuitive, creative energy in abundant supply.
The activity and energy shifts in the second half of the month when the emphasis moves to Aries. Aries energy is an active, dynamic, courageous and, sometimes, aggressive energy that is perfect for charging ahead toward your goals.
Some major, important shifts this month are:
- Venus stations retrograde on March 1.
- Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse at 24 Degrees Virgo on March 14.
- Mercury turns retrograde on March 15.
- Partial Solar Eclipse of the Sun at 9 Aries on March 29.
- Neptune moves into Aries on March 30.
March 1: Venus Stations Retrograde at 10 Degrees Aries. Venus retrograde in Aries brings out issues of independence (Aries) versus cooperation (Venus). It also speaks to the need to re-evaluate what you want from life. You can actively and courageously pursue your dreams once Venus turns direct on April 14. Then, when Venus re-enters Aries on May 1, you will be ready to act on your dreams. The more you plan now, the more successful you will be at that time. Ask yourself:
- Are my actions and daily conduct in tune with my values (not someone else’s values)?
- Am I meeting the needs of those close to me? If you no longer wish to meet their needs, what is the best way to withdraw from the conflict?
- Do you want more love in your life. If yes, what can you do to attract a lover, friend or other supportive person into your life?
- Does my financial situation reflect my values? If not, what can I do to improve or change my financial situation?
March 2: Sun Square Jupiter at 12 Degrees Pisces/Gemini. The Sun square Jupiter infuses us with a sense of optimism and confidence. However, it can also bring overconfidence, overoptimism and overload. The warning is that too much of anything can be problematic. Be wary of doing too much and vow to listen to, and honor, others’ opinions under Sun square Jupiter.
March 3: Mercury Enters Aries. Mercury in Aries speeds up your thought processes and your communications. Your mind may be revved up like a race car, and your words rush out before the brain is engaged. Take part in physical activity to slow your racing mind. Mercury in Aries is ideal for thinking up new ideas. Jot such ideas down, or you may forget them under this supercharged energy.
March 5: Mercury Sextile Pluto at 3 Degrees Aries/Aquarius. There may be lots of talk (Mercury) about deep psychological ideas and issues (Pluto) when Mercury is sextile Pluto. Mental health breakthroughs may be in the news now.
March 8: Sun Trine Mars at 17 Degrees Pisces/Cancer. It’s hard to sit still when the Sun is trine Mars. You want to take action and make things happen. Sun trine Mars brings problem-solving ability and the potential for big accomplishment. You may be more reactive now, so count to 10 before engaging in conflict.
March 11: Mercury Conjunct Venus at 8 Degrees Aries. Social (Venus) conversations (Mercury) easily flow now and there is a spirit of compromise and agreement in the air. This is an optimum time for a gathering with your friends or for other social events.
March 12: Sun Conjunct Saturn at 22 Degrees Pisces, Sextile Uranus at 24 Degrees Taurus. Whereas Sun square Jupiter on the 2nd brought a sense of optimism and invincibility, the Sun conjunct Saturn brings you down to earth. Saturn is reality, restriction, discipline and rationality. Though you may be prone to feeling limited, depressed and fearful now, the Sun conjunct Saturn is excellent for sound judgment, steady accomplishment and success in overcoming obstacles. Patience is the key to overcoming any obstacles.
March 14: Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse at 24 Degrees Virgo at 1:54 AM EST. Sun Conjunct Saturn Sextile Uranus at 24 Degrees Pisces/Taurus.
Expect the unexpected with the Sun and Saturn sextile Uranus. Use the few days before and after this Virgo Lunar Eclipse to:
- Declutter and organize your physical surroundings.
- Release old habits and routines that are no longer useful.
- Detox and release old emotional hurts, grudges and traumas.
- Trust your intuition and honor your dreams.
- Practice inner peace.
March 15: Mercury Stations Retrograde at 9 Degrees Taurus. Use Mercury retrograde in Taurus to take another look at your finances and to prepare a new budget. It is a good time to take a personal finance or investing class. Because Taurus rules both money and love, Mercury retrograde in Taurus may bring old relationships to the fore. Unresolved issues with past relationships or money matters. may pop up again, giving you another chance for a permanent resolution. You will begin to see the positive results from the changes you made when Mercury turns direct on April 7.
March 19: Sun Conjunct Neptune at 29 Degrees Pisces. Your intuition, imagination and creativity are soaring to new heights now. Record your dreams and ideas. When the Sun enters Aries tomorrow, you can begin to implement the best of those ideas.
March 20: Sun Enters Aries. Each year there is a big shift when the Sun enters Aries. The Sun in Pisces for the last month was focused on feelings of compassion, and connection to your fellow earth inhabitants. When the Sun is in Aries, action, agression and competition predominate. It is time to fight for your beliefs.
March 21-25: Sun Conjunct Venus and Sextile Pluto at 3 Degrees Aries/Aquarius. As the Sun moves through the sky, it conjuncts Venus, and then Mercury and then all three of them form a sextile to Pluto. Look for intense interactions (Pluto) with others of like mind (Aquarius).

The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries is especially geared toward big shifts and startling new beginnings. It’s time to forge a new path despite the obstacles and challenges around you.

March 29-30: Neptune Enters Aries, Conjunct Mercury at Zero Degrees Aries. Neptune’s historical entry into Aries brings a compassionate, gentle strength combined with courage and activism with the desire to make a difference in the world. The last time Neptune was at zero degrees Aries was in 1861 at the time of the US Civil War. Neptune will be in Aries until early spring of 2039. Here are some things to look for when Neptune is in Aries.
- Crumbling and dissolving of old structures.
- Expansion into wider, more multi-dimensional consciousness.
- Old politics, economies and religions fall away – they struggle to maintain their power base.
- Young people take over with new ideas and new problem- solving methods.
- Your identity and sense of self becomes more empathetic and intuitive.
- New understandings about mental health, the human brain and psyche, drugs, addictions, illness, neurological discoveries, medicine.
- Artistic and creative endeavors will thrive.
- More water events: floods, water purification methods, etc. Water will definitely be in the news.
