Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, March 17th

Aries

You can be feeling especially generous and compassionate today, dear Aries, and finding great benefit and reward in helping others. Use this energy to forgive and heal, to put a difficult problem behind you, or to resolve to let go of a mental burden. You might be in the position to support someone through an open or helpful conversation today. There can also be quite a bit of excitement about a longer-term plan or project, or a group endeavor. A friendship can come into strong focus and you can feel quite inspired about it.

Taurus

This a good day for getting the information you need, for test results, or for resolution to a problem that has been weighing on your mind, dear Taurus. Self-honesty is important now, and there is a pleasingly open atmosphere with friends as well. Conversations can be revealing and especially open and interesting, and this impacts friendships, both platonic and romantic. There can be a sense of liberation from a problem or a past matter. You may be feeling a sense of creative renewal, and in fact, this is a good time to begin anew on a creative level.

Gemini

There is a pleasant openness to the day, dear Gemini, and you can feel that you’re ready to move forward on a matter that may have been holding you back, particularly regarding a friendship or a goal. This can be an excellent time to learn from others and to teach something as well. Business sense is enhanced by your intuition. Focus should be on positive reinforcement today for best results, both personally and professionally. The aim is to put something behind you. Others are putting a little more faith in you than usual, which feels good and motivates you to improve. Even so, you can be holding on to your ideas and going your own way, expecting others to accept you for who you are.

Cancer

The Moon continues to transit your sign all day, dear Cancer, and despite some small feelings of blockage or opposition early today, it’s a strong time for personal influence and for enjoying some well-deserved “me time”. People are sensitive but willing to learn today, and there can be a nice feeling of liberation on a mental level. You are especially open to learning, improving, and growing, and conversations can be gateways to fascinating new information and interests. There can also be a focus on settling problems of the past. It’s a strong time to clear the air.

Leo

This is a strong day for studies, research, and deeper thinking, dear Leo, as you’re going in your own direction and thoroughly enjoying the process. You can come to some important insights now. You can come to a new way of looking at old problems, and conversations can be especially open, particularly on intimate levels. At the very least, you are being honest with yourself, and this can open doors for you. There can be unexpected benefits coming through a faraway connection or partnership. You can be especially inspired by an idea that leads you down a new path or that sets off interesting tangents of thought.

Virgo

You may get the chance to clear up a problem in a close relationship today, dear Virgo. Conversations can be especially open, and you may need to put something from the past behind you now. There is a willing spirit when it comes to learning from and through one another, and the urge to grow and mature through relationship experiences is strong now. Conversations can be revealing, perhaps a little too much so, but ultimately helpful. Be emotionally brave and encourage others to be open and honest. This is also a good time for research, work, and health matters. Problem solving is a theme now, as you’re seeing patterns that you may not typically see.

Libra

This can be an important day for discovering information or solving a problem that clears the path for new beginnings, dear Libra. Seeing patterns comes more easily, which helps you to put the pieces together. Work and health issues can be the focus now. You might come across new ways to heal or to improve your health, or rediscover a solution from the past that is relevant to you in the present. The Moon at the top of your chart puts you in a position to lead or to take charge again today. At the same time, you’re doing quite well on a personal level and coming up with great ideas when you put your head together with someone.

Scorpio

There can be cathartic release today, dear Scorpio, through creative means or an especially open conversation with someone you care about. Communications and thoughts tend to be focused on healing and resolving problems. You may be coming to a new and unique perspective on a matter, but first you need to dig up the past so that you can move forward. Your openness with others helps them to open up as well. People more readily listen to you and give you useful feedback now. Once again today you are feeling freer in self-expression and a little more courageous. You are going your own way when it comes to ideas about how to best approach matters related to romance, fun, entertainment, art, and children.

Sagittarius

There can be some matters to handle from the past that need your attention, dear Sagittarius, and strong energy for resolving a conflict or solving a problem related to your personal life, family, or home is with you now. Others’ openness and willingness to share their feelings can be infectious, and you’re likely to feel especially willing to learn more about the special people in your life. You stand to learn much through the power of conversation and a humble approach. This is also a good time for creative expression. Seeing past patterns can help bring perspective to new projects and endeavors.

Capricorn

This can be another strong day for relating and getting along, dear Capricorn, especially with an open approach to one another. Early day tensions can quickly dissipate. There can be revealing conversations that can act to open your heart. You may be supporting someone through a difficult stretch or offering helpful advice. Your words have healing power these days, and today, this can be made quite obvious to you. There can be an illuminating moment in which puzzle pieces seem to unite and you see a matter more clearly. Problem solving with family, home, and money matters can be in focus and strong.

Aquarius

This is a strong time for creative thinking, dear Aquarius, and for being recognized for your unique perspective and viewpoint. You are attracting interesting people into your life largely due to your interesting point of view and charming way of communicating. You have extra special and valuable advice to give, and you’re feeling very generous. You’re in a flexible and spirited mood and not inclined to take things too personally, although information that surfaces now can be of a sensitive nature. You are ready to come to someone’s defense if need be now. This is a good time for assessing money matters and for making responsible purchases.

Pisces

With Mercury and Chiron coming together in your sign today, dear Pisces, you’re in a good position for expressing or presenting your ideas. This influences sparks especially creative, unique, and helpful ideas. Interactions can be progressive and revealing, although perhaps a little sensitive, as is often the case when we are encouraged to grow. You want to free yourself from ideas and attitudes that have limited you in the past, and you want to distinguish yourself from others and discover what makes you special. People tend to see you for your unique mind right now. You are going your own way! This can also be a good day for thinking outside of the box about financial matters.

If You Were Born Today, March 16

You accept little at face value, and are always looking for hidden meanings or deeper knowledge of people and circumstances in your life. You are generally very poised and charming, and have a talent for coming up with money-making ideas and creative marketing projects. Periods of solitude are absolutely essential to your well-being, as quite time is how you refresh yourself. You are self-motivated, perceptive, and versatile.

Famous people born today: Jerry Lewis, Chuck Woolery, Isabelle Huppert, Erik Estrada, Pat Nixon, John Butler Yeats.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, March 16th

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Weekly Forecast: March 13 – 19, 2016

a message from Kelly M. Beard

To view more of Kelly’s insight, please visit her website, Lunar Reflections

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

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.

Wednesday – Magickal Days of the Week

Wednesday is named for Woden himself, although the Romans called it dies Mercurii.This is a day associated with the color purple, the planet Mercury, and the metal quicksilver – which is also called mercury. See a pattern here?

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
