Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, March 16th

 

Aries

Aries Horoscope
Aries

This is a strong day for finding your emotional center, dear Aries, and is particularly welcome after recent tension and, at times, overstimulation. A Jupiter-Pluto long-term aspect that first came into influence in October perfects today, and is strong for career and work opportunities. Your motivation to do something truly meaningful through your work or services is very strong now. Pour your energy into redesigning, renovating, and improving the work you do or into your efforts to improve health. You can be thoroughly enjoying your work or daily routines, and this shows in the finished product. You’re also coming across in a more powerful, prestigious, or simply trustworthy manner these days. You could be doing more specialized work, or could find that you’re in especially big demand. Getting your daily schedules, routines, and health programs into shape is a focus, and can contribute to your growth, professionally and personally.

Taurus

Taurus

An easier, more straightforward flow of energy for communicating and connecting is with you today, dear Taurus. It’s a strong time for reaching out, repairing relationships, and bonding with people you care about. A trend that is with you until June is peaking today, and it’s a strong one for creative discovery. Good energy is with you for expanding your personal horizons through creative endeavors, and romantic relationships for some. You are commanding more attention in a positive way, and you are approaching your life with more confidence and self-assurance. Opportunities to travel, learn, teach, publish, promote, and connect are likely to emerge. There can be important turns of events surrounding romance, children, entertainment, and creative projects. You may be finding more meaning in your projects or hobbies.

Gemini

Gemini

You’re seeking out a stronger feeling of security and sense of being grounded today, dear Gemini, and you’re attracted to simple, earthy activities as a result. There is more interest in your practical affairs today, although you’re not inclined to want to deal with facts and figures at the moment – intuition and imagination are in focus instead. Opportunities for expanding your family experiences are emerging, with a Jupiter-Pluto influence that has been with you since October and is peaking now. You may be increasing contact and/or strengthening ties with family or close loved ones, and making peace with the past. While there can be some intense emotions in the process, improvement and growth are the end result, and ultimately very satisfying. Long-term financial planning can be successful, or pooling your resources or talents with someone may lead to improvements. Business and home matters can expand or improve, and you’re likely to find more support or backing for what you’re doing. This is an important time for laying down foundations. Some of you could come into financial support or backing for establishing yourself in a career or home.

Cancer

Cancer

The Moon is in your sign all day, and it harmonizes with Venus and Neptune, dear Cancer. You are more in touch with your emotional needs and clearer about your wants and desires, and today, you’ll find it relatively easy to gain cooperation from others. A Jupiter-Pluto influence that has been with you since October peaks now and points to real rewards in the areas of learning and connecting. There can be a motivating, supportive meeting of minds with a partner. You might be the go-to person for information and know-how. Some of you could meet someone special through the phone, online, at school, or possibly in your own neighborhood. You could find motivation to pursue a dream project. Transportation and communication opportunities can open up. There are wonderful opportunities emerging for friendships as well as personal influence. This trend continues until June, and helps you to feel more empowered through your relationships. This is a strong period for learning, sharing, and relating.

Leo

Leo

This can be an important day for healing, dear Leo. With the Moon in the sign just behind yours, you may need some time for yourself in order to regroup or to process recent events. The pipeline to the unconscious is open today with the Moon’s supportive connection with Neptune and Venus in your intimacy sector. You can benefit from behind the scenes work, research, and/or connections with others. Earnings and talents are in focus with Jupiter in your sector of resources in harmony with Pluto, which first came exact in October and does so again now. A project begun last fall may be spreading its wings or could need your attention. You can be especially motivated to produce, build, accumulate, and prove your worth. There could be job offers or you could be making your own job opportunities now, and, for some, there can be significant gifts or bonuses. There is also excellent energy for healing the body and improving health. This is a strong time for improving work and health-related methods as well, particularly until June. Opportunities to heal the body and mind can emerge. Natural talents may be used more fully in the work you do.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol/Glyph
Virgo

This is a strong day for repairing and building relationships, dear Virgo, more through gestures than conversation, but good all around. Today, Jupiter in your sign forms a trine with Pluto. This energy first occurred in October and will recur in June and suggests a strong period for personal opportunities and support. New and improved ways of expressing yourself can emerge. You are more confident and focused, and possibly more concerned about power and persuasion as well. While this period is more about you and your personality, romantic expression might also reach new heights. It’s also a good time for furthering, editing, reviewing, and polishing up recent projects. How you carry yourself has been transforming in positive ways since October, and you’re in a position to further enhance your image. This is a good time for picking up or renewing a satisfying hobby.

Libra

Libra Glyph-Symbol
Libra

You are naturally drawn to practical matters today, dear Libra, finding satisfaction in handling your daily affairs and responsibilities. It’s a good time for being framed particularly well – for others to notice you for the work you do, for example. A Jupiter-Pluto influence that first occurred in October peaks again today (it will perfect again in June), and benefits finances, family and home matters, strategy, improvement, and personal development. You are becoming very comfortable with yourself on the inside, which of course can lead to improvements across the board. There can be more support from family or for family and home affairs. You could also be feeling braver on an emotional level, finding it easier to face your feelings and your past, and this can be empowering. This can be a good time for physical renovations in addition to emotional ones, particularly around the home.

Scorpio

Scorpio Symbol Glyph
Scorpio

Today is good for feeling freer to express yourself without disclaimers, dear Scorpio. People are more cooperative and less inclined to judge or argue than they have been in recent days. You are seeing the bigger picture and you’re less inclined to narrow in on problem areas. A Jupiter-Pluto influence that first occurred in October perfects again today (it will reach exact again in June). It’s a strong transit for making connections, communicating, building ideas, bonding with others, and sharing. You are also developing a stronger belief in your future and what you have to offer others. You might happily take the lead or become the expert that others turn to. You could be building a following for your ideas or your work. New people coming into your life could inspire you to make important changes and improvements, and you may be inspiring others with your own words these days. For many of you, finances are improving.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius Glyph Symbol
Sagittarius

The Moon in your work and health sector all day turns your attention to managing your daily affairs, dear Sagittarius, and there is generally easy energy for getting your things in order. With your ruler, Jupiter, and Pluto coming together in a favorable trine today, you’re likely to be feeling stronger all around. This aspect first formed in October and will perfect for a final time in June. This is a time of increased ambition, whether it’s for the influence, prestige, or simply the satisfaction of a job well done. This is a strong period in your life for employing your natural talents and moving ahead as a result. You are coming across well and attracting respect. Some of you could be transforming and growing relationships with parents or bosses now. You can be making connections with people who are in the position to further your goals. This is generally a good period for money, as you are more resourceful.

Capricorn

Capricorn Symbol/Glyph
Capricorn

Today brings warm, easy energy to your relationships and communications, dear Capricorn. It’s a good time to make a friendly gesture or to otherwise reach out to others. There have been some rather tense days recently for interactions, making today’s cooperative feel especially welcome. Pluto in your sign forms a harmonious aspect with expansive, lucky Jupiter today. This aspect first formed exactly in October, and will perfect for the final time in June, and serves to increase belief in yourself, your beliefs, and your future. This can be an especially optimistic and ambitious period for you. You can find more meaning in your life these days, and this gets you going and motivated. Pay close attention to the conversations you are having now, especially about the future. You may be reaching more people, building a following, teaching or guiding others, and sharing important ideas. Travel and educational opportunities may be part of the picture for some of you. A project may reach a turning point now. Keep in mind that moving outside of your normal bounds and routines improves your opportunities.

Aquarius

Aquarius

This can be a strong day for slowing down and observing what’s going on around you, dear Aquarius. You’re connecting a little more deeply and richly with your inner world now. Your connections with others, and quite possibly yourself, may be deepening and strengthening due to a Jupiter-Pluto connection that first formed in October and that is with you until June. It peaks today and can bring benefits to your emotional world. Ambition to get to the bottom of any emotional issues or problems in your life is strong now, and the results of your inner quest for answers can be very empowering. Becoming more comfortable with your desires and inner motivations can help you across the board. This can be a time for resolving long-standing problems and finding more courage to go after what you want and need. This is a good period for support and counseling, as well as for goal setting and career matters. Support from others tends to be more and more available to you, if you are seeking it.

Pisces

Pisces

Today’s energies are far easier and natural for you than they have been, dear Pisces, and you’re sure to appreciate the flow. You can be in a playful, light, and creative frame of mind now. People are drawn to you but also seem to step out of your way and let you do your own thing. There is wonderful energy with you in recent months for connecting with friends, a partner, or a special someone, as well as for coming to a better understanding of others. This influence continues until June but is peaking today, so you may be getting a nice taste of its energy now. This is a strong period for promotion, publicity, and for confidence in the future. Relationships can prosper and grow, and mutually beneficial partnerships may be formed. Friendships transform, not always in straightforward, easy ways, but there is real growth and improvement seen.

Your Daily Love Horoscopes for Wednesday, March 16th

 

General Horoscope

It might seem as if we’re getting closer to the end of the rainbow, but finding the pot of gold requires focus. The emotional Cancer Moon harmonizes with beautiful Venus and illusory Neptune, blessing us with feelings of abundance. Meanwhile, a flowing trine between strident Jupiter and relentless Pluto amplifies our beliefs. It’s time to make our intentions known, but we must allow for differences of opinions while we work for the good of all.

Aries Horoscope MAR 21 – APR 19

It may feel as if you don’t have the time to do those things that could bring you the most spiritual and emotional growth. But your concern is based on a faulty illusion because progress originates from very practical places in your life today — like fulfilling your responsibilities at work. Don’t worry about what you might be missing; everything is where it’s supposed to be if you apply yourself to the mundane logistics. Thankfully, exploring the outer galaxies and the inner reaches of your imagination can be done in your sleep.

Taurus Horoscope APR 20 – MAY 20

Your creativity is longing to run wild and free today. Thankfully, the roadblocks that were standing between you and your satisfaction are finally falling to the wayside. Ironically, circumstances are not shifting enough to give you a break from the dramas of ordinary life; it’s more likely that you’re cleverly surfing on a wave of cosmic power now. The world is your oyster; adventure is calling and it’s up to you to answer.

Gemini Horoscope MAY 21 – JUN 20

Your inner confidence is on the rise today, especially with your family and friends acting as a source of genuine encouragement. Channel the support you receive to boost your resolve even higher. Everyone goes through periods of doubt, but now it’s time to reclaim your inheritance and put your natural talents to good use. In the meantime, don’t let the opinions of others consume you when you’re following your dreams. Let your faith be bigger than your fear.

Cancer Horoscope JUN 21 – JUL 22

You’re certain your conclusions are correct and you’re all set to tell the world your viewpoint exactly as you see it. Although you’re willing to shout your message from the mountaintop today, you’re unsure if you are up for the climb. Something may still be holding you back from fulfilling your appointed destiny. There’s no need to fight the obvious resistance now since it will only feel like shadowboxing. Instead of trying to convince anyone else of your integrity, find a solution within. Wait to share your story until the time is right.

Leo Horoscope JUL 23 – AUG 22

You can make a lot of progress now by taking stock of your resources and managing them to the best of your ability. The good news is you stand to gain both financially and emotionally if you don’t push too hard to be on top. However, you can easily fall victim to unrestrained optimism today, especially related to how you handle your money. Don’t get distracted by an immediate payoff or a shortcut to success. Plot a path for long-term security and things will fall into place piece by piece.

Virgo Horoscope AUG 23 – SEP 22

Your expectations are lofty, even if reality has been testing your resolve on every level lately. Don’t quit when things are finally starting to take a turn for the better; make the most of your positive attitude while your mind can transform hardship into great opportunity. This auspicious energy could be most apparent in your love life where relationship difficulties may finally begin to find resolution. Make your intentions as clear as possible and hope for the best.

Libra Horoscope SEP 23 – OCT 22

Invisible helpers seem to be watching your back today. You may assume that it’s just good luck, but you could actually have spirit guides or guardian angels who are looking out for your best interests. Although your analytical mind won’t let you entertain the possibility of supernatural friends, your subconscious mind is now the source of guidance that will get you out of a difficult situation. No matter what you believe, trust your instincts and never apologize for honoring your intuition.

Scorpio Horoscope OCT 23 – NOV 21

You can feel your idealism slowly making its return today. Even if you’ve been through a crisis of confidence, there is good reason to be more optimistic in your outlook now. However, do your best to avoid manipulating others, even if you think you’re being kind to someone else while also helping yourself. You might inadvertently create sticky webs when you are motivated by ulterior motives. Keep it clean and don’t attempt to control the actions of anyone else. Have faith in the universe and maintain your integrity at all costs.

Sagittarius Horoscope NOV 22 – DEC 21

This could be the time of your life if you were simply in it for the payoff. However, you know it’s not only about fame and fortune because your soul craves meaning and passion. Nevertheless, it is still prudent to reevaluate your current career path if you look at it from a lifetime perspective. Ask the important questions: Are you making the most of your skills and talents? Are you happy or is there something else you would rather be doing? Don’t postpone your soul’s journey; embrace the future and take a small step in your new direction.

Capricorn Horoscope DEC 22 – JAN 19

You might not be out of the woods yet, but jolly old Jupiter is flying around you like a hummingbird returning to the feeder. Sure, there still may be some tricky situations to handle, but they need not define your life. The most crucial thing to understand is the effort you exert now will have lasting impact. Reflect over the past few months prior to projecting forward. Don’t sit and wait for something magical to happen; moving confidently toward your ideal future plays a large role in creating it.

Aquarius Horoscope JAN 20 – FEB 18

It might seem as if something precious is being taken from you now, but believe it or not, things will still likely work out for the best. You are being offered an important opportunity, although what the gift is may not become apparent until you’ve made enough room in your life for it to manifest. Your hard work in the present moment can pay off in the future. Don’t waste energy worrying about what isn’t working today. Sometimes you must first let go in order for something better to come along. When one door closes, another opens.

Pisces Horoscope FEB 19 – MAR 20

It’s time to rush to the rescue where your friends are concerned. In addition, help is also on the way to you, even if you don’t think you need it. The good news is that you can actually do amazingly well if others appear with just what you need. However, you must first get past your initial resistance to outside interference. There is cosmic magic working on your behalf now. Don’t hold back; your current actions determine your future.

Your Weekly Karmic Forecast: March 13 – 19, 2016

Weekly Forecast: March 13 – 19, 2016

The Karmic Tools Weekly Forecast covers the current planetary transits which affect people in different ways and to various degrees of intensity.  Take notice when it is a Personal planet (Sun / Moon / Mercury / Venus / Mars) interacting with a Social (Jupiter/Saturn) or Collective planet (Uranus / Neptune/Pluto).  And pay extremely close attention when it is a Social planet interacting with a Collective planet because that means something *big* is brewing that will move large groups of people along their evolutionary paths. Tuning in to the energy and rhythm of the planets can serve as a useful *guide* as you move along your Individual Path.  It also helps to understand your place within the context of the larger Social & Collective Story. Below, you will find out how these energies tend to manifest, as well as guidance and direction.

*NOTE There are some days when there are NO CONTACTS (besides the Moon), please note that there are no missing entries, we just list the actual Activations of each week + the day they happen.  

Weekly Forecast:  March 13 – 19, 2016

3/14 ~ Mercury (communication/expression) ~square~ Saturn (limits/reality):

This energy is good for deep thinking rather than negotiating with others as it is more of a solitary energy making communications with others a little harder than usual. You may feel like people don’t understand what you’re trying to convey or that you’re coming across more negative than positive. This is not a good energy for business negotiations unless every detail is very clear to all involved. This energy makes you most critical of your Self, but it could trickle over onto others as well. Beware of a tendency toward apathy, pessimism and/or depression, that’s Saturn & Mercury, which makes it more mental than literal. Try to stay focused on all the blessings that you do have and all that you have accomplished instead of what’s still on the list of things to do (in life). This energy is not intended to make you feel bad about all the things left yet to do, but encourage you to begin the necessary steps and be okay with small measures of progress for now. This energy just makes you focus on the practical side of manifesting. Clear the mental & emotional debris, and begin to lay a new, clean, solid foundation beneath your goals and strategize about the details of bringing it to fruition.

3/14 ~ Venus (values & priorities) ~square~ Mars (desire & passion):

This is our Inner Feminine & Masculine pushing out of comfort zone and into new territory. It’s time to recalibrate how you give & receive, as well as how you BE versus DO. It helps to know the Signs + Elements to consciously choose how to work with it. In this case (3.14.2016), Venus is in Pisces and Mars is in Sag, so we are mirroring the big boys on a personal level too! This is a gift! While Neptune/Chiron in Pisces square off with Saturn in Sag, we are all growing & going to experience completely new levels of healing & truth. That means we also have to get it together within ourselves and our relationships. Anytime Venus & Mars interact, the energy has to do with your relationships, both personal & professional, private & public. Squares create the necessary tension to catalyze action. As an individual, it is time to grow, change and integrate your own Venus (values & priorities) with your own Mars (desires & passion), however, on another level it activates sexual energy as that too is the energy of creation. Pisces & Sag is Water & Fire and again, we have the forces of creation, and all around our faith & imagination. What can you create with your own Imagination & Faith? How are you currently pregnant with possibilities?

3/15 ~ Mercury (communication) ~sextile~ Pluto (transformation):  

This energy provokes the need to delve deeper into the ideas or information being presented at this time, whether personal or professional. You will want to dig deeper, ask the hard questions and gather insights that are deeper and more profound than usual. In your professional/public life, you may find yourself doing better due-diligence and in your personal/private life, you may find yourself digging a little deeper into your own mental patterns & personal history (that has led to ‘now’). As you make these connections and begin to grasp these new insights, they will gain traction and you will become more grounded in your own Truth. We all get excited about those kind of ah-ha moments, and you may find yourself wanting to share them with others who may or may not be ready to hear such deep Truths or have the conscious awareness to even process them, so use some discernment around who and when you share these new-found insights.

3/15 ~ Mercury (thinking) ~oppose~ Jupiter (learning):

Any opposition requires us to work with two distinct energies and get them to work together for the good of all involved. It is also a MidPoint which allows you that 180* view from the other side of your starting point (roughly 6-months ago). Mercury & Jupiter are working out the push-pull within you between your Mind & Consciousness, between your Thinking & Beliefs, between your Thoughts & Imagination, between the Tedious Details and the Grand Vision. Because of all this, it would be tremendously beneficial to play amongst a group of like-hearted souls with varying points of view, mavericks who following their intuition as well as humble healers who also buck status quo by following their intuitive knowing within, something we all have the capacity for. This is great for what I call *Jam Sessions*, when my colleagues & I get together to discuss our ideas & insights about our professional goals, something like that is a great use of this energy: plan, strategize, discuss with others, get input and feedback, bounce ideas around and be open and receptive to others’ points of view (they may think of something you didn’t). Make sure it is a Circle, where all opinions are valued even if not shared. This is a good one for learning something new and looking at things from another angle, completely.

3/16 ~ Jupiter (Truth/Story) ~trine~ Pluto (Transformation): (2 of 3: 3.16.2016 & 6.26.2016)

This is part of a potent 12-year *process* (Jupiter Cycle) as it relates to Pluto’s purifying and rebirthing abilities.  This Activation can assist you with a lot of the *Energy* Work you’ve done over the last 3-4 years in terms of “clearing debris” and making *meaning* out of your experiences.  This is a delicious opportunity to take your *Truth/Story* to the next level in a way that both expands your world, as well as those whose lives you touch along the way.  It is primarily Social and Collective, but if you have the Signs involved activated in your own chart, that’s when it gets *Personal* and you can use the extra *JuJu* to transform your life.  The primary caveat that comes with this is to deeply and honestly scrutinize your *Motivations* for wanting to improve/change your life.  This is a time when you should be focused on that which serves you and benefits others, in clean, positive ways.  If you are being manipulative, sneaky or underhanded in any of your doings, even if you profit immediately, you will eventually *pay* the cost on the back end.  It’s time to think *Higher* and/or *Bigger*, not the time to be petty, small or narrow-minded.  If you operate from a place of integrity, you can make leaps and bounds of progress in terms of expanding your world, personal Story and positive influence on life.  This combo also greatly supports cleaning up past mistakes, advancing your career, increasing your resources and overall course-corrections can run rather smoothly (due to the Trine aspect) however, naturally, consciousness and genuine effort will also be required but the work is well worth the ultimate reward when these two *dance* in the ethers.

Daily Magickal Applications for Wednesday

wiccan's inner sanctum(sp)~GP
Daily Magickal Applications for Wednesday

To the Romans, this day was called Dies Mercurii, or “Mercury’s day” Mercury was a popular character in the Roman pantheon. A messenger of the gods, he presided over commerce, trade, and anything that required skill or dexterity. The Celts also worshiped Mercury and eventually equated him with the Norse god Odin (some spelling variations on this name include Wotan, Wodin, and Wodan). In Norse mythologies, Odin, like Mercury, is associated with poetry and music. Interestingly enough, both Odin and Mercury were regarded as psychopomps, or the leaders of souls, in their individual mythologies.

Odin, one of the main gods in Norse mythology, was constantly seeking wisdom. He traveled the world in disguise as a one-eyed man with a long gray beard, wearing an old, beat-up hat and carrying a staff or a spear (which brings to my mind images of Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings). In the Old English language, this day of Mercury evolved into Wodnes daeg, “Woden’s day,” or Wednesday.

Wednesday carries all of the planetary and magickal energies and associations of the witty and nimble god Mercury himself. Some of these mercurial traits included good communication skills, cleverness, intelligence, creativity, business sense, writing, artistic talent, trickiness, and thievery. And don’t forget all of those wise and enigmatic qualities associated with the Norse god Odin/Wodin, not to mention the goddess Athena’s contributions of music, the arts, handmade crafts, and writing. Wednesdays afford excellent opportunities for seeking wisdom, changing your circumstances, and improving your skills, be they in trade and commerce, music and art, or in communication and writing.

When it comes to deities… yes, Mercury! However, there are a few other gods associated with Wednesday, including Odin and Hermes, Athena, and Lugh. Gemstones like adventurine and agate come in handy as well, as do plants such as aspen trees, lilies, lavender and even ferns.

Business and job-related issues, communication, loss and debt, traveling, and journeys are all tied in to Wednesday. This is a good day to do a working to open up lines of communication – especially if your own actions are preventing you from being an effective speaker or listener. Go someplace new or return to an old favorite stomping ground, step up your game, and settle up your accounts

Be bold and daring today! Expand your knowledge of the Craft by working with the planetary energies of Mercury on this multifaceted day of the week. Consider the Greco-Roman gods Mercury and Hermes and all of the many lessons they have for you. Embrace change and movement, and work on your communication techniques. Conjure up a little good luck for yourself with that Mercury dime spell. Call on Athena to inspire you to try magickal arts and crafts and to be more creative in your own spellwork and witchery.

Meditate on Odin and see what you can discover about him. I wonder what sort of fabulous and fascinating magickal wisdom you will uncover? Odin is a shaman, after all; he may appear in many guises and faces. I guarantee that he will make you laugh at yourself before he is through with you, but you will learn. It’s up to you what you do with that knowledge. Will you let it shapeshift into wisdom?

Wednesday is the wild and wily day of the week, so try to go with the flow; don’t fight the quirky energies of the day. Most importantly, follow your heart, and always keep a good sense of humor, because of Wednesdays you will really need it.
