All Signs

For the last 25 days, Mars has been at 17 degrees Cancer. Today it finally moves to 18 degrees to stay for six days; then to 19 degrees for four days, and then 20 degrees for three days – you get the picture. Mars is finally moving forward! (Relative to planet Earth.) Meanwhile, in another part of the celestial heavens, the shadow phase of Mercury retrograde begins today, which means if you want to buy a car, truck, computer, cell phone or hi-tech equipment – wait until April 7 when Mercury retrograde is over. Wisest of all is to wait until April 27 when the shadow phase is over, then you’re really in the clear. Of course, are we ever in the clear? Ripened on the vine and jet fresh? (Do not trifle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.)

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Opposing influences are at play for you this week. In one way, you want to be low-key. You might want to hide at home. You feel serious about your financial security and your duties and obligations. Plus, ex-partners and old friends from the past are back on the scene. (This could be stressful.) Meanwhile, in sharp contrast, another influence makes you want to play! You want to get out and schmooze! You want to enjoy the arts, the entertainment world, romance, sports events and fun activities with kids. In addition to this powerful juxtaposition, there’s a Luna Eclipse on Thursday that might create power struggles at work, with your health and even about a pet. Hang in there!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You’re popular this week. Nevertheless, you’ll take time to research and discover answers to old problems. And hey – music to your ears – you can boost your earnings, especially through real estate or a family business. Ka-ching! Nevertheless, on Wednesday, you’re serious, and as such, you might seek the advice of someone older or more experienced. It’s possible these concerns will intensify before Thursday’s Full Moon (a Lunar Eclipse) which might heighten your existing anxieties. Fortunately, by the end of the week, you’re laughing. On Saturday, you’ll state your views with passion because the Moon will be lined up with fiery Mars in your House of Communications. (“Don’t quibble, Sybil.”)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You continue to look marvellous to everyone because the Sun is at the top of your chart, which can happen only once a year — and when this occurs, you are cast in a flattering spotlight! However, this week you look respectable and more serious for some reason. You might even look authoritarian. (Put down the whip.) The week begins with you in a positive, exuberant frame of mind. You’re keen to talk to others, especially someone who will listen to what you have to say. Old friends or members of old groups are back in your world. The Full Moon on Thursday could create tension between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your outer world. Oh well, you can’t please everyone. (But since you’re twins, maybe you can.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a financially strong week for you. (We like!) Trust your moneymaking ideas. Be confident in your ability to find a good job or get a raise or make money on the side. However, even though you’re adventurous and keen for a change of scenery; something might hold you back. Sensible or practical reasons might make you reconsider some exciting plans. Meanwhile, pay attention to everything you say and do, especially Tuesday and Wednesday because Thursday’s Full Moon is an accident-prone time for you both verbally and physically. Therefore, don’t be distracted. Keep your eye on the prize. Bosses, parents and authority figures from your past are back on the scene.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

For you, this week begins in an upbeat way because the Moon is in your sign dancing with lucky Jupiter. This means you’ll enjoy being with old friends. Plus, group activities will appeal, and you’ll find it easy to work well with others. Admittedly, travel plans might be delayed or cancelled. Meanwhile, the Lunar Eclipse on Thursday occurs across both your Money Houses. Get your ducks in a row. What do you owe and what do you own? When it comes to money – information is power. Get important facts that matter to you right now. Take care of loose details. But do take time to enjoy romance with someone unusual (or far away), especially someone from your past who looks appealing once again.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is an energizing week that begins on a feel-good note for you. That’s because the Moon is dancing with Jupiter at the top of your chart, which makes you create an excellent impression on others. It also gives you strong energy to interact with friends and groups. However, the Lunar Eclipse on Thursday will be in your sign. This could create tension between you and spouses, partners and close friends. In fact, you might notice these difficulties becoming more intense as you approach Thursday, and then almost magically, by Friday and Saturday, these problems will diminish if not disappear. Poof! (That’s a relief.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your relations with friends and groups are warm and rewarding on Monday. People are happy to see you and you’re pleased to see them. For some, this could lead to travel plans in the future or chances to explore opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine and the law, especially because with Mars at the top of your chart, arousing your ambition. Obviously, this is a good time to explore possible options. Nevertheless, wait until May to set your armies marching because Mercury retrograde will be entirely over by then (including the shadow phase). Meanwhile, ex-partners and friends are back in your world (or even in your dreams). Thursday’s Full Moon might create tension at work as well as tension with medical colleagues and workers.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

As this week begins, you make a fabulous impression on others. For starters, people notice you more than usual. Furthermore, they see you as successful, confident and fearless. In addition, you will be skilful and persuasive dealing with the public. Doors will open for you. Meanwhile, work colleagues you haven’t seen for a while might be back in your world. You might also finish an important work project. However, the Lunar Eclipse on Thursday could create tension with kids, friends and romantic partners. Your patience might be necessary to save a friendship. (You have immense inner discipline.) Hopefully, you can travel because you need a change of scenery.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Do something different on Monday because you want to try new things, see new places and learn new ideas. It might be as simple as a walk in a different park, checking out a new store, perhaps a new restaurant or driving through a different neighbourhood? Respect and acknowledge your need for some stimulation and the thrill of something fresh! Meanwhile, old flames are back on the scene, while others might hear from professional colleagues or kids you haven’t seen for a while. Thursday’s Lunar Eclipse will create a tug-of-war between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your career and public reputation. Choose wisely. (Hint: You can’t ignore home and family.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your fast-pace continues making this a lively week. On Monday, you might be pleased with financial news. Perhaps you’ll receive a financial advantage or an opportunity or a favour or a gift. For some, it will bring a chance to improve your health or your job. Meanwhile, some of you are having reunions because family you haven’t seen for a while are back in the picture. Relatives might be camped on your doorstep. Why not enlist their assistance to help you finish home repairs and redecorating projects? Midweek, please pay attention to everything you say and do because the Lunar Eclipse on Thursday is an accident-prone time for you. Slow down and take it easy. Be mindful.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This week gets off to a great start because relations with partners, spouses and close friends are warm and friendly! Even your dealings with members of the general public are positive and reassuring. Meanwhile, you’re pumped to work and be productive – no question. One hiccup you can’t avoid might be transportation problems and delays in communications because of Mercury retrograde. Fortunately, these are temporary. You might also hear from cousins and relatives you haven’t seen for a while. Brace yourself for Thursday’s Lunar Eclipse, which takes place across both your Money Houses. Something might come to a head. Stay in touch with your finances.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

On Monday, you feel vigourous, which will help to boost your energy for your job and your dealings with work-related situations. Some of you might enjoy work-related travel. Unfortunately, financial matters are held up because Mercury retrograde is taking place in your Money House. Cheques in the mail might be late and financial transactions in general will suffer from delays, confusion and mixed-up communications. The Lunar Eclipse on Thursday will take place directly opposite your sign, which will create some angst and tension between you and partners, spouses and close friends. Fortunately, these difficulties will be short-lived; and by the weekend, socializing and romance are full of promise.

Welcome to WOTC! A Thought for Your Day

I will hopefully be back to posting the extra information tomorrow. I have to be off all types of pain medication until I see the orthopedic doctor at 11:00 AM CST today for my right knee that I hurt on January 2nd. As those of you who suffer from chronic pain know, my pain level is off the 1-10 pain chart right now, so anything I do hurts so much more. I will let you know what they decide to do with my knee tomorrow.

May your and your family’s lives be filled with love, happiness, laughter, joy, and positive things! Blessed be.

Moon Phase for Sunday March 2nd, 2025

The current moon phase for today is the Waxing Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 2.43 days old and 7.81% illuminated with a tilt of 105.674°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 362,140.24 km and the moon sign is Aries.

The Moon phase for today is a Waxing Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon started to become visible again after the New Moon.

In this part of the moon cycle, the Moon is moving away from the Sun and is becoming more and more illuminated by sunlight. In this phase, the moon will go from 0.1% to 49.9% illuminated before reaching the First Quarter phase.

In the Waxing Crescent phase the moon rises before noon in the east, transits the meridian before sunset, before setting in the west before midnight.

The Waxing Crescent phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. The moon is close to the Sun in the sky and the right edge will become brighter as it approaches 50% illumination and the First Quarter phase

Fun fact: although only a small part of the Moon is illuminated in the Waxing Crescent phase, you can still sometimes see the rest of moon as faintly visible. This is known as “earthshine” or Da Vinci glow and is a result of sunlight being reflected off the Earth and back to the Moon.

The First Quarter of the moon phase cycle happens on one day. It’s followed by the intermediate phase, Waxing Gibbous, and will become more illuminated every day until it reaches the Full Moon phase.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Fun fact: if you live in the Northern Hemisphere, the right side of the moon will be illuminated during the First Quarter. If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, the left side is illuminated.

The Moon phase for March 7th, 2025 is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).

In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.

The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Fun fact: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.

All Signs

This year Mercury goes retrograde three times. The first time is from March 15 to April 7, which means we can expect transportation problems, transit delays, late deliveries, mixed-up communications, misplaced items, equipment breakdowns, and people from the past popping up. On the upside, this is an excellent time to finish old projects, study the past and get a better understanding of our own personal history. Because there’s a shadow phase before and after each retrograde — be smart and avoid buying ground transportation, technology, computers and cell phones between March 8 – April 27. (Gulp.) Yes, Mercury retrograde has benefits and drawbacks. It’s like when one door closes and another door opens, which probably means you’re in prison.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Heads up! This is a lively week! Admittedly, the Sun is still hiding in your chart, which means you’re happy to work alone or behind the scenes. Nevertheless, on Monday, busy Mercury enters your sign, making you be eager to express your point of view to others. Your mind will be busy, and you’ll have a strong urge to get out and be on the go. “Shops must be visited. Money must be spent!” But lo! Mercury will be retrograde in your sign on March 15 until April 7. (The buffer dates are March 8 – April 27.) That means THIS is the week to buy technology, cars, trucks, computers and cell phones. If not, wait until after April 27.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is an exciting week! On Monday, the Moon enters your sign to stay until Wednesday morning. (Once a month the Moon is in your sign for 2 1/2 days, and when this occurs, it gives you an advantage over all the other signs because your luck is slightly improved.) On Tuesday, you’ll be energetic, practical and focused; and at the same time, light on your feet and ready for change. Go after what you want! Mid-week, financial issues look favourable! Look for ways to improve your job or get a better paying job or boost your earnings because you’ll be convincing when talking to others. Saturday is a marvellous day to entertain. Invite family and friends over for good food and drink!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a fabulous week! The Sun is at high noon in your chart, casting you in a flattering spotlight making you look great in the eyes of others, especially authority figures. This advantage happens only once a year so by all means use this to go after what you want. Meanwhile, you have ambitious energy this week, which is why you’ll accomplish more than usual, even though at the same time, it’s a lighthearted, pleasant week. (You’ll be like Col. Saito “Be happy in your work!”) Midweek the Moon in your sign lines up with lucky Jupiter boosting your optimism! By Saturday, you’ll dream up ways to get richer – or you’ll spend money big time. Maybe both?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You’re eager for adventure! You want to travel and expand your world. Note: Explore opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine and the law because this is the year to get performance ready for next year, which is your time of harvest (which occurs once every 30 years). Meanwhile, this is a friendly week! Enjoy schmoozing with pals, groups and organizations. Someone or something will surprise you. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the Moon will be in your sign giving you an advantage over all the other signs. In fact, Saturday promises you a day full of productive opportunities! Make use of this day, because you are favoured. Hey – if you want something you’ve never had – you gotta do something you’ve never done.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

As this week begins, you’re high viz., which means people notice you. (In fact, some will know personal details about your private life.) Something sudden and unexpected related to an authority figure (a parent, boss or even the police) might occur. Be aware of this. Fear not because this is actually a playful week! Even though you’re focused on taxes, debt and shared property, you want to travel and explore exciting ideas and learn new things. It’s a popular time for you, although by the end of the week, you’ll be happy to relax and rest. Treat yourself to time off from your busy schedule. Do something restorative and pampering. Self-care – physical and mental. You matter.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Remember to get more sleep because with the Sun opposite your sign right now, your energy might be flagging. Nevertheless, you want to do something different this week. You want travel, adventure and memorable moments! (Note: Late Tuesday travel plans will be unpredictable.) Midweek, you’re noticed, which is fortunate because you make a great impression on others. Obviously, this is your opportunity to demand the advantage or advance your agenda. (Timing is everything.) Meanwhile, gifts, goodies and financial favours from others will come to you this week. Get ready for a popular weekend that’s physically active and maybe competitive. “Seize the day – trust not in the morrow!”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a happy and productive week. You have an ambitious To Do list and you want to be efficient as possible. You also want to improve your health. And why not? Style icon, Vogue editor and fellow Libran Diana Vreeland said, “The body must stay fit. Fit people like themselves much better.” You will be pleased with what you accomplish this week even though it’s also a fun-loving, social time. At the beginning of the week, financial red-tape issues (taxes, insurance and debt) and shared property might be a focus. Expect a surprise. Midweek you want to travel and “get away from all this.” Hopefully, you can do something different that is stimulating and exciting. By the weekend, you’re high viz. and others admire you.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

When the going gets tough – the Scorpios play! This is a wonderful week for sports, social outings, fun activities with kids, the arts and doing absolutely anything that pleases you. Admittedly, the week begins with the Moon opposite your sign, which means you have to go more than halfway when you’re dealing with others. No biggie. Be polite, friendly and conciliatory. Midweek, financial discussions and negotiations will favour you. In fact, it’s an excellent time to decide how to share or divide something. By the end of the week, you’ll be eager for adventure, and hungry to travel or get a change of scenery. Meanwhile, relations with coworkers are cozy. In fact, a work-related romance might begin.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You’re happy to nest at home this week; however, you will also enjoy entertaining others because you’re in a playful mood and keen to socialize. Travel will appeal – as always. (Sagittarius is the traveller of the zodiac.) As the week begins, you might tackle new creative projects. You’ll work hard and perhaps work on behalf of someone else. Midweek, when the Moon opposes your sign, you have to cooperate with others, which is not difficult for you because at heart, you’re breezy and easy-going. By the end of the week, you have strong feelings about financial matters and sharing wealth with someone else. You might even debate the ownership of something. But on the whole, it’s a lighthearted week. Enjoy!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a lovely week for your sign because the pace is fast and you’re happy with your busy schedule of short trips, errands, appointments plus increased reading and studying. Home repairs and family discussions will take place. Nevertheless, at the beginning of the week, you want to schmooze and socialize! Enjoy sports events, fun outings and playful activities with kids. Parents take note: be vigilant about your children to avoid accidents. Midweek, work-related travel and a chance to buckle down and get things done will appeal to you. By the end of the week, with the Moon opposite your sign, you are best served by being cooperative with others. This means you have to go along to get along.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

With fair Venus in your House of Communications, your everyday surroundings and activities are pleasant and agreeable. In fact, your appreciation of the beauty of your everyday surroundings will make you happy to be in your skin. This is a great time to enjoy the company of others. It’s also an excellent time for writers and intellectual creativity. Meanwhile, although money and cash flow are on your mind, take time to enjoy home and family at the beginning of the week. (Caution against accidents.) Midweek offers wonderful opportunities to schmooze and socialize, particularly with the arts, sports events and fun times with kids. Expect a busy weekend.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This continues to be a powerful time for you because the Sun is in your sign giving you a chance to re-energize and replenish yourself. Both Mercury and Venus are in your Money House prompting you to think about moneymaking ideas. Venus of course wants you to buy beautiful things. Meanwhile, you’re busy with appointments, discussions with siblings and relatives as well as short trips. Midweek, you’ll enjoy hunkering down at home. Some will explore real-estate opportunities. Friday to Sunday promise social outings, fun activities with kids, romance, competitive sports and chances for a weekend getaway. This week can be whatever you want it to be.

Originally the Church had an angel for each of the four “corners” of the year, the solstices and equinoxes. It was the Church’s only recognition of these “pagan” holy days.
