To have a breakthrough, you must consciously connect with the invisible forces that are everywhere around you, urging you to go beyond your old conditioning. ─ Deepak Chopra
After the darkness there was sunlight. After the doubt there was trust. After the struggle, breakthrough turned up! ― Wesam Fawzi
June 2026 is somewhat calmer and easier than the astrological energy at the beginning of the year. Some of the outer planet challenging energy is still operating behind the scenes, but the beneficial, healing energy manifesting this month brings a welcome respite from the earlier in-your-face tension, anger and chaos.
In March and April, we had an Aries stellium, which was a time to forge ahead, leave the past behind and begin something new. Last month I talked about Uranus, the Great Awakener, moving into Gemini, which began a seven-year cycle of breakthroughs in communication, technology and medical science. Now, the June 2026 astrology continues the energy shifts and beneficial breakthroughs with movement by Venus, the planet of love and blessings received, and Jupiter, the planet of expansion, optimism and luck.
Jupiter opposition Pluto and Chiron in Taurus, urge you to let go of outdated structures and negative, limiting beliefs. Chiron in Taurus illuminates the need for trust and the release of old ideas around scarcity and lack. Jupiter trine Neptune and the Cancer energy emphasis favor a return to spirituality, compassion and care for self and others. Venus’ connections to both Pluto and Neptune (agape nonconditional love) have the power to transform (Pluto) your relationships in a deep, meaningful way.
All in all, June 2026 brings breakthroughs around healing old wounds, regaining confidence (Jupiter) and trust (Chiron in Taurus) and bringing both stability and amazing spiritual breakthroughs ((Jupiter trine Neptune).
June 1: Mercury Enters Cancer. Mercury in Cancer until August 9 is wonderful for family reunions and for communicating with your family, including your non-family “family” ─ those friends who nurture and support you. This would be a good time to go through and organize old family photos and memorabilia
June 2: Sun Sextile Saturn at 12 Degrees Gemini/Aries. The Sun sextile Saturn in air (Gemini) and fire (Aries) is excellent for accomplishment. Mental tasks requiring concentration and steady effort (Saturn) are especially favored. This is a good time to set, and begin to accomplish, long-term goals as your determination and organizational skills are in overdrive.
June 4: Mercury Square Neptune at 4 Degrees Cancer/Aries. Intuitive, right-brain thinking, imagination and creative problem solving are favored now under this short-lived aspect. Be mindful that Mercury square Neptune can also bring confusion and misunderstandings. Pick your companions carefully now as people may not be who they say they are.
June 9: Venus Conjunct Jupiter at 25 Degrees Cancer. Venus conjunct Jupiter is the “follow your bliss” aspect. Use this helpful conjunction to tune in emotionally (Cancer) to your true desires (Venus). The likelihood of manifestation is high now, so be careful what you wish for.
June 10: Mercury Square Saturn at 13 Degrees Cancer/Aries. Mercury square Saturn brings focused, realistic thinking. Be aware, however, that it can also bring narrow, judgmental thinking and limitation.
June 13: Venus Enters Leo. When I think of Venus in Leo, I think of entertainment, Hollywood, summer parties and a generally fun time. Enjoy social gatherings and a burst of creativity while Venus is in heart-centered Leo until July 9. If you have natal planets in Leo, you may find that you are receiving more compliments and positive feedback from others.
June 15: New Moon at 24 Degrees Gemini at 2:53 AM EST. Venus Sextile Uranus at 2 Degrees Leo/Gemini. The Gemini New Moon is prime energy for writing, communicating (in every way), fresh ideas and new projects. Your mind is active now and open to all kinds of intriguing thoughts and concepts. Meanwhile, Venus sextile Uranus and Venus trine Neptune bring the desire to try something new and daring (Uranus) or to just escape to a romantic island (Venus and Neptune). Keep yourself grounded, but allow yourself the freedom to explore new horizons under this lovely New Moon in Gemini.
June 17: Venus Trine Neptune at 4 Degrees Leo/Aries. Venus Opposition Pluto at 5 Degrees Leo/Aquarius. Venus trine Neptune brings a dreamy quality to the day that is excellent for artistic and spiritual endeavors. However, its best to keep your own counsel and refrain from outside interactions. You just want to relax and take it easy under Venus trine Neptune, but you are susceptible to scams, misinformation and addictive behavior. Venus in opposition to Pluto brings an overly intense vibe to your interactions with others and the likelihood of power struggles with those close to you is elevated.
June 19: Chiron Enters Taurus. Chiron shows us where we have a core wound and where we carry subconscious beliefs around the source of our wounding. When Chiron is in Taurus we are asked to examine our relationship to money, self-worth and physical safety and security. Chiron in Taurus brings out scarcity fears around poverty, loss and survival. I sometimes call Chiron in Taurus the “bag lady syndrome,” whether it is in your birth chart or when Chiron is transiting your planets. Now is an opportune time to heal those fears, due to the excellent transits of Taurus’ ruler Venus. Chiron turns retrograde on August 14 and moves back into Aries on September 18, then re-enters Taurus on April 18, 2027 giving you plenty of time to work on any subconscious “bag lady” issues.
June 21: Sun Enters Cancer. Our attention turns to family, real estate, home improvement and matters relating to nurturing. Remember: nurturing relates not only to nurturing others, receiving nurturing from others, but also to nurturing yourself. Because the sign of Cancer is strongly connected to your relationships with your parents, it would be a good time to work on any emotional family issues.
June 25: Venus Trine Saturn at 14 Degrees Leo/Aries. Sun Square Neptune at 4 Degrees Cancer/Aries. Venus trine Saturn favors taking time to look at your financial and relationship connections. Small tweaks now can have long-term favorable results. Sun square Neptune brings inspiration and intuition.
June 29: Mercury Turns Retrograde at 26 Degrees Cancer. Mercury turns retrograde until July 25, when it begins to move forward at 16 degrees Cancer. Use this time to reflect on old memories and emotional connections. Mercury retrograde in Cancer can be a time of emotional healing, though painful memories can resurface. Ask Yourself: Which experiences and attachments are worth keeping and which are best released?
You may find yourself having deep, emotional conversations with others. That can be very healing so long as you do not let yourself fall into a “poor me” trap. Consider self-care and self-nurturing as a top priority during this time.
This is not the time to make major purchases or to sign important contracts due to the strong emotions (Cancer) ruling your mind (Mercury retrograde). Instead, use this time to repair and refurbish your home.
June 29: Full Moon at 8 Degrees Capricorn at 23:56 PM EST. The Full Moon in Capricorn acts as a counterbalance to the emotional Sun in Cancer and Mercury retrograde in Cancer. Capricorn is a clear-headed earth sign focused on structure, goals, responsibility and career matters. You may find that issues around your home life in relation to your career goals need your attention at this time.
June 30: Jupiter Enters Leo. Jupiter loves being in Leo. Jupiter is an expansive, optimistic, fun-loving planet, which meshes very well with the child-like exuberance of Leo. Jupiter has a 12-year cycle, i.e. it takes it 12 years to transit the entire Zodiac. It would be interesting to look back at Jupiter’s previous journeys through Leo in 1978, 1990, 2002 and 2014 to see what happened in your life during those times. The house in your birth chart ruled by Leo will experience a little bit of extra ease, expansion and even luck during Jupiter’s transit in Leo until July 28, 2027.

Autumn Tree Majesty — StockCake: https://stockcake.com/i/autumn-tree-majesty_1372181_851749
Be like the tree, change your leaves and keep your roots… Change your ideas and keep your principles! ― Tibetan proverb
As Uranus, the Great Awakener, moves into Gemini for the next seven years, we are being challenged to integrate major change, unprecedented technology and threats of war and upheaval (Uranus in Gemini) into our need to stay grounded and peaceful and to adhere to our values (Uranus in Taurus). While it is always scary to move into uncharted territory, Uranus in Gemini is the very definition of innovation and imagination.
Key historical periods of Uranus in Gemini were characterized by defined ideological divisions and include the American Revolution (1774–1782), the American Civil War (1859–1866), and WWII (1941–1949). Advances in technology are often key disrupters of established social structures. Sounds like what we are going through now, doesn’t it? Though scary and hard on the nerves, I believe it is the Universe acting to clear out the stale, unusable, dangerous elements of society to bring in a new paradigm. Go with the flow as much as possible and change your ideas, but always, always keep your values, your principles and your roots.
Other major planetary sign changes now are:
April 25: Uranus Enters Gemini
May 6: Pluto Turns Retrograde
May 2: Mercury Enters Taurus
May 17: Mercury Enters Gemini
May 18: Venus Enters Cancer
May 18: Mars Enters Taurus
May 20: Sun Enters Gemini
May 1: Full Moon at 11 Degrees Scorpio at 1:23 PM EST. The Sabian Symbol for 11 Degrees Scorpio is: “A brilliant assembly of dignitaries at an official embassy ball.” This Scorpio Full Moon certainly speaks to the US political scene where outer appearances, manners and protocol cover up a multitude of excess and moral decay. The Moon in Scorpio is excellent at exposing the underbelly of everything it touches. It should be interesting!
On a personal level, the Scorpio Moon asks you to look deeply within to check whether you are being true to yourself. Ask yourself: “Do I feel I need to put on a false front or “airs’ in order to belong?”
May 2: Mercury Enters Taurus. Mercury in Aries led to fast, unstructured thoughts with an underlying sense of urgency. Now, with Mercury in Taurus (until May 17) you have a chance to slow down and to ground your thoughts. Use Mercury in Taurus to ground those wild Aries thoughts in a practical, focused way. Mercury in Taurus is especially beneficial for sorting out financial matters.
May 4: Mars Square Jupiter at 19 Degrees Aries/Cancer. Accomplishment!! Use this dynamic, energetic aspect to make short work of those tasks you have been putting off. Avoid conflicts now. Any small disagreement can escalate quickly when Mars’ fighting spirit combines with Jupiter’s tendency to expand whatever it touches. Add in a touch of stubbornness when Mercury is square Pluto on May 5 and caution is advised. Luckily, it is a short-lived aspect as Mercury moves quickly.
May 6: Mars at 20 Aries Sesiquiquadrate South Node at 5 Degrees Virgo. Pluto at 5 Degrees Aquarius Quincunx South Node at 5 Degrees Virgo. Pluto Turns Retrograde. We are definitely feeling an unsettled, moody, introspective energy today. Pluto retrograde in Aquarius begins a five-month period where you are charged with turning inward to do some deep shadow work, especially Issues around control: Ask Yourself: “Who is controlling whom? Who is really in control?” Since such deep work can bring up fear and anxiety, use this time to find your own sense of security and safety.
May 16: New Moon at 26 Degrees Taurus. New Moon Square Jupiter at 21 Degrees Cancer. Mars Conjunct Chiron at 28 Degrees Aries Sextile Venus at 28 Degrees Gemini. The New Moon in Taurus is about stability, financial security and planning for the future. I love how the Universe gifts us with this commonsense Moon right when we need it most. The Taurus New Moon acts like a touchstone to help us stay calm and centered as Uranus enters Gemini and chaos and unprecedented events are part of the astrological landscape. Jupiter in aspect to the Taurus New Moon adds a sense of optimism.
Taurus rules the earth and all of earth’s fauna and flora, so make time to get out in nature. Beautifying your home space and yard is another Taurean activity.
May 17: Mercury Enters Gemini and Mercury Conjunct Uranus. Thoughts, thoughts, and more thoughts, some of them innovative and some of them just plain strange. That’s the flavor of Mercury conjunct Uranus until May 19 and Mercury in Gemini until June 1. Watch for brilliant insights during these time periods.
May 18: Venus Enters Cancer. Venus in Cancer until June 13 brings out your nurturing and protective instincts around those you care about. This is generally a beneficial, loving Venus connection. However, it can also tend toward a moody, self-protective, overly cautious way of dealing with others. Check your emotional motivations when interacting with others when Venus is in Cancer.
May 18: Mars Enters Taurus. Mars in Taurus gives me the image of a bulldog actively and ferociously (Mars) guarding his/her territory to keep it secure (Taurus). Mars typically likes action and the more and faster the action the better. Mars energy confronted with Taurus’ staid persona needs an outlet to function at its best. Use Mars in Taurus until June 28 to make active progress toward stabilizing your security needs. Pay attention to your values. Ask Yourself: Are my values in tune with my lifestyle? If not, Mars in Taurus is a good time to begin to correct the imbalance.
May 20: Sun Enters Gemini. Your curiosity peaks and you become more sociable and communicative when the Sun is in Gemini until June 21. Short trips and short classes for fun and mind expansion are favored now. Sun in Gemini can scatter your energy and bring a loss of focus, so pay attention and stay off the cell phone when driving.
May 22: Sun Conjunct Uranus at 1 Degree Gemini. Venus Square Neptune at 4 Degrees Cancer/Aries. Venus Trine North Node at 4 Degrees Cancer/Pisces. When the Sun is conjunct Uranus, expect the unexpected and everything in between. Venus square Neptune tends to bring even more confusion, though it does soften the energy some.
May 26: Sun Trine Pluto at 5 Degrees Gemini/Aquarius. Mars Square Pluto at 5 Degrees Taurus/Aquarius. Powerful energy is the norm today with the Sun trine Pluto and Mars square Pluto. The Sun trine Pluto is a harmonious aspect that is custom made for letting go of old, unhelpful habits. It brings the ability for deep internal focus and for addressing complex challenges. Hidden truths may emerge now.
Mars square Pluto brings the desire to act (Mars), along with the desire for deep transformation (Pluto). Handled mindfully, these aspects can help you overcome longstanding issues, especially issues around self-sabotage. Be careful though. You may come across as overly aggressive or controlling now.
May 28: Venus Square Saturn at 11 Degrees Cancer/Aries. Caution is urged in relationship matters now. You may be assessing the loyalty and true connection of your business and personal relationships. Any problem areas become glaringly obvious now. However, be careful not to over-react as Venus is square Saturn in Cardinal signs Cancer and Aries
May 31: Full Moon at 10 Degrees Sagittarius at 4:45 AM EST. It’s time to ease up on some of that Taurus caution. Instead, lace up the hiking boots and explore a new travel itinerary. This Sagittarius Full Moon brings the urge for fun, adventure, freedom and new and expanding horizons. New career paths and new business launches could open up now, especially those requiring travel or exploration.
Moon Movement During May 2026: 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.

Go back?” he thought. “No good at all! Go sideways? Impossible! Go forward? Only thing to do! On we go!” So up he got, an and trotted along with his little sword held in front of him and one hand feeling the wall, and his heart all of a patter and a pitter. ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
The Sun entering Aries on March 21 was a pinnacle moment. We must now turn our attention to the energies of the new astrological year that began with the equinox. The way is forward; The past will only hold you back.
The Libra Full Moon on the first of April sets the stage. Mars enters Aries on the 9th, dramatically expanding the action- and achievement-oriented Arian tone. Mercury joins the party on the 14th, which increases impatience and impulsive, sometimes foolhardy actions, and communication.
The April 17 New Moon in the last degrees of Aries is peak time for setting your course and forging onward. The Aries stellium consisting of the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Saturn and Neptune (see chart below for the April 17 New Moon) adds a concentrated burst of energy.
Uranus enters Gemini on the 25th of April, where it will reside for the next seven years. Uranus in Gemini adds an intelligent, restive, intellectual, freedom-loving vibe. Watch for mind blowing advancements in technology, particularly in health care and artificial intelligence, over the next seven years. Expect the unexpected when Uranus is in Gemini.
March 30: Venus Enters Taurus. Venus is the ruling planet of Taurus and thus feels right at home here. Venus in Taurus until April 24 brings an ease and beneficial energy to matters of comfort, finances, romance, self-love and security. Those with planets in Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius will feel Venus’ beneficent rays most strongly.
April 1: Full Moon at 12 Degrees Libra at 10:11 PM EST. The Sabian symbol for this full Moon in Libra is: “Children Blowing Soap Bubbles.” The emphasis is on beauty, pleasure and playfulness. It gives you the gift of looking at old situations with “new” eyes and the ability to use your imagination to balance the perceived negativity around you with the joy of appreciating all things. This Libra Full Moon brings a sense of emotional balance that enables you to close the stale, negative chapters in your life.
April 3: Mercury Trine Jupiter at 16 Degrees Pisces/Cancer. Venus Square Pluto at 5 Degrees Taurus/Aquarius. Expansive, optimistic, though sometimes unrealistic thoughts are all hallmarks of Mercury trine Jupiter. Venus square Pluto adds a layer of intensity, so enjoy your communications under the lovely Mercury trine Jupiter aspect, but be careful not to push your ideas too strongly.
April 5: Sun Square Jupiter at 17 Degrees Aries/Cancer. Sun square Jupiter is one of those bluebird aspects that make you feel confident, optimistic and ready to explore new horizons. Those of you with planets or points from 12 degrees to 22 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) will feel this beneficent aspect most strongly. However, it will be felt by everyone as a lightening, happy energy.
April 9: Mars Enters Aries. Mars in Aries is the “GO” signal that ignites your energy, passion and ambition. You are no longer willing to sit on the sidelines and watch the world go by. Instead, you are ready to initiate activities and take risks to make things happen. Mars in Aries can be headstrong, rash and foolhardy, so do be careful to avoid accidents or unwise, impetuous actions.
April 11: Sun at 22 Aries Sesiquiquadrate South Node at 6 Virgo. Saturn Quincunx South Node at 6 Degrees Aries/Virgo. You may be focused on the past and chastising yourself for not being perfect when the Sun and Saturn are in aspect to the South Node in Virgo. While it is good to be aware of past mistakes, this aspect is really about acknowledging your perceived or real failings and then letting go. The South Node not only shows where you have fallen short in the past, but it is a very positive guide to using old talents in a new way. The emphasis on Aries and Virgo gives you the energy and courage (Aries) to make the needed changes.
April 13: Mars Conjunct Neptune at 2 Degrees Aries. Mars conjunct Neptune triggers the need to escape. This aspect is like having one foot on the gas and the other foot on the brake. You may be feeling extra tired, unsettled and confused. Avoid major impulsive (Mars) decisions now as your judgment may be clouded and things may not be as they appear.
April 14: Mercury Enter Aries. Flashes of intuition, quick thinking and assertive (or aggressive) communication are all part of the Mercury in Aries energy. Brush off those ideas you had during Mercury’s retrograde motion last month and implement them now. However, use a little Saturn restraint as Mercury in Aries can be a little too impulsive and rash.
April 16: Sun Conjunct Chiron at 26 Degrees Aries. Mercury Conjunct Neptune at 2 Degrees Aries. The Sun conjunct Chiron brings a renewed sense of purpose and clarity. Pay attention to your dreams and inner thoughts as they can light the way.
April 17: New Moon at 28 Degrees Aries. The Full Moon on April 1 in Libra charged you with balancing your energy and with focusing on your needs versus the needs of others. This New Moon in Aries is a strong signal that it is now time to focus on your needs, your projects and your actions. Chiron conjunct the Aries New Moon advises you to let go of, or solve, old relationship or other issues to get the maximum benefit of this Aries New Moon. Ask yourself: How can I heal old wounds and turn them into a source of strength instead of a negative albatross that stifles my courage and ability to act. With Mars and Mercury also in Aries, consider expressing your pain by journaling.
April 19-20: Sun Enters Taurus. Mercury, Mars and Saturn Conjunct at 7-8 Degrees Aries.
Sun in Taurus until May 21st brings a much-needed grounding to the strong Aries energy. Taurus energy is superb for consolidating and securing any insights or gains you made under the Aries energy.
April 23: Venus Conjunct Uranus at 29 Degrees Taurus. Venus conjunct Uranus brings unpredictable outcomes around love and financial matters. You may be feeling a certain restlessness and the need for more freedom.
April 24: Venus Enters Gemini. You become more of a social butterfly when Venus is in Gemini from April 24 until May 18, 2026. Consider taking short trips to beautiful places or taking a class just for fun to satisfy your desire for variety and mental stimulation.
April 25: Uranus Enters Gemini. Uranus will be in Gemini until May of 2033. Uranus in Gemini is typically a time of widespread advances in communication and scientific breakthroughs. Rebellion, communication snafus and wild weather patterns are also typical during Uranus in Gemini. An interesting historical insight is that the first Atlantic telegraph cable was laid in 1858 and the Pony Express began in 1860 when Uranus was in Gemini. Expect even more astounding breakthroughs in communication during the next seven years.
April 25: Sun Square Pluto at 5 Degrees Taurus/Aquarius. Be wary of interactions with authority figures and useless battles of wills. The intensity level is high (Pluto) and the tendency for stubbornness (Taurus and Aquarius) is activated.
Moon Movement During April 2026: 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.

I stopped asking the map. I started asking the road. — Kenneth (on burning the old, limiting, or outdated paths)
Each month when I sit down to write my newsletter, I often get inspiration from images and quotes. Images and quotes help me clarify the message that I believe the planets are telling us that month. March 2026 is about reorientation. February was a crazy, challenging month that brought in, or pointed to, many new ideas, events and connections. It challenged our sense of what we thought we knew and what we thought was real. In so many ways, it changed the landscape of our lives in a profound way.
Now, the astrological energy is about reorientation. The map we thought we could use is no longer working. It’s a lot like when Google Maps goof and mistakenly send travelers to a scary off-highway route. We know that what we now have isn’t working. But where do we go from here?
The answer is in the road. Where do you want to go? What are you willing to give up and what do you need to do in order to get there. Or maybe a side road is more to your liking. It is time to reorient yourself.
Last month had an over-abundance of important transits. Aside from the Virgo Lunar Eclipse and the outer planet transits, the March energy is much quieter. I am actually quite happy with the trines and sextiles and, thus, easier energy of March compared to January and February. Use this quieter time to strengthen your spiritual foundation for the topsy turvy months ahead.
In summary, things you should consider during March 2026:
- Mercury retrograde in Pisces and strong emphasis on the North and South Nodes: Heal old emotional wounds and relationships. Nurture your creative, intuitive and spiritual side.
- Total Virgo Lunar Eclipse: Let go of unrealistic expectations and untruthful rationalizations. Create order and organization in your life. Emphasize your health and consider an overhaul of your exercise and nutrition habits.
- Saturn and Neptune in Aries transited by the Sun: Integrate personal responsibility and common sense with intuition and creativity under this long-term shift in consciousness.
- Blend the strong intuitive energy with strategic action, especially with regard to relationship and financial matters.
February 27: Mercury turns Retrograde at 22 degrees Pisces. Mercury retrograde in Pisces until March 20 allows you to take another look at, and heal or resolve, old emotional wounds and relationship issues. It is also an opportune time to delve deeper into your personal spiritual practice.
March 2: Mars Enters Pisces at 9:15 AM EST. Mars Sesiquiquadrate Jupiter at Zero Degrees Pisces/15 Degrees Cancer. Mars in Pisces until April 9 brings out the desire to embark on a more spiritual path. Your subconscious emotions come to the surface and your intuitive abilities are enhanced. Mars at zero degrees Pisces sesiquiquadrate Jupiter in Cancer calls for an adjustment in how you handle conflict, especially around emotional family issues.
March 3: Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse at 12 Degrees 53 Minutes Virgo. Lunar eclipses are always about letting go and starting a new cycle. This Virgo Lunar Eclipse is about reorganizing your life, letting go of unrealistic expectations and paying more attention to your health and work habits. A Virgo Lunar Eclipse is the perfect energy to follow the hectic February events. It asks you to slow down, evaluate, and to then let go of anything that will keep you from experiencing your best self as you move into the new, active, Mars-focused astrological year.
March 5: Sun Trine Jupiter at 15 Degrees Pisces/Cancer. A sense of optimism and confidence prevails when the Sun is trine Jupiter. The trine in the signs of Pisces and Cancer is excellent for rebuilding emotional bridges and connections with others.
March 6: Venus Enters Aries and Conjuncts Neptune and Saturn. Venus in Aries reactivates the important Saturn/Neptune conjunction at zero degrees Aries. The Saturn/Neptune conjunction was about letting go of unrealistic ideas and dreams and reactivating those ideas and dreams in a realistic, grounded, pragmatic way. Venus softens the Saturn energy and helps you see what it is you really love. Take time now to tune into your true desires.
March 9: Mercury Trine Jupiter at 15 Degrees Pisces/Cancer. Mercury moves very fast, so this is a short-lived, but lovely aspect. Think big. Your optimism now can help you overcome obstacles.
March 11: Jupiter Direct at 15 Degrees Cancer. Jupiter moving direct in Cancer lightens emotional connections and makes it easier to relate to others from a place of empathy. Jupiter will be in Cancer until June 30. Look to the house placement of the sign of Cancer in your natal chart to see where Jupiter will bring optimism and abundance to your life.
March 12: Venus Quincunx South Node at 8 Degrees Aries/Virgo. Venus quincunx the South Node urges you to let go of outworn, no-longer-working methods, especially around love and money. It is a great time to take action (Aries) and to organize (Virgo) your financial matters.
March 13: Mars Conjunct North Node and Opposition South Node at 8 Degrees Pisces/Virgo. Let go of unrealistic expectations so you can take advantage of new opportunities that show up when Mars is conjunct the North Node.
March 15: Mercury Conjunct Mars at 10 Degrees Aries. Though a very short-lived transit, Mercury conjunct Mars brings mental alertness, decisiveness and the ability to accomplish a lot in a short time. You may find yourself, and others, talking more and/or talking faster.
March 18: New Moon at 28 Degrees 27 Minutes Pisces. Venus Square Jupiter at 15 Degrees Aries/Cancer. Take some time to appreciate yourself now. The Virgo Full Moon eclipse made you very aware of your imperfections, whether real or imagined. This Pisces New Moon is a gentle reminder that you are perfect in your imperfections. Contemplate peace for all under this imaginative, creative New Moon in Pisces. Venus square Jupiter adds universal love (Venus) and a sense of thankfulness (Jupiter) to the energy.
This Pisces New Moon will be felt most strongly with those who have personal planets or points from around 24 degrees of the mutual signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces) up to 2 or 3 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn).
March 20: Sun Enters Aries. March 20: Mercury Stations Direct at 9 Degrees Pisces. The Sun in Aries is at the important zero-degree Aries Point. It will go over the Saturn/Neptune conjunction as it moves forward. The beginning of big changes are set in motion now.
March 21: Mars Trine Jupiter at 15 Degrees Pisces/Cancer. Mars trine Jupiter is an energizing, “lets get it done” aspect. Your confidence is high and you can accomplish a lot under this aspect. Just be careful not to overdo or to create chaos due to your unchecked enthusiasm and/or impatience.
March 22: Sun Conjunct Neptune at 2 Degrees Aries. Let your intuition lead now. Your imagination and creativity are sky high. Record your dreams and ideas. You may be surprised at the insights you now have.
