On Thursday the Sun enters Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. In the Northern Hemisphere, this is Spring (the vernal equinox) when the Sun crosses the equator giving us equal hours for day and night. As such, this is the perfect week to define future ambitions and strategize how to reach your objectives. Get proactive! However, (yeah, there’s always a catch) because both Mercury and Venus are retrograde right now – don’t just concentrate on building your future. It’s equally important to reckon with the past and start to clean up old messes especially with romance or negative thought patterns. A little mantra I like: “If you’re not enjoying yourself this minute, then you’re wasting your time.”
Well, there’s no time like the pleasant. This week the Sun enters your sign to initiate the Astrological New Year and your birthday! Obviously, birthdays are classic times to set goals. However, it so happens that both Mercury and Venus are retrograde in your sign as well, which means this is also the perfect time to rethink and renegotiate issues with spouses, partners and close friends – as well as ex-spouses and ex-partners. (Oh yeah.) Fortunately, you’re in a positive frame of mind. Meanwhile, you’re letting go of people, places and possessions you don’t need. “Be gone!” Later this year, your family, home and real-estate scene will be blessed!
Everyone will sense the “newness” of the vernal equinox this week. However, you are the only sign to have this event take place in a hidden part of your chart, which means you might feel less excited about beginning “new things.” In fact, you’ll be more influenced by the fact that Mercury and Venus are retrograde (behind the scenes in your chart), which will encourage you to research, dig for answers, study the past, seek solutions to existing problems and rethink a secret love affair. Nevertheless, one thing we know for certain in the coming year for your sign is that you will get richer! You might receive money. You might inherit. You might get a better paying job. You might even buy yourself something that makes you feel richer. Ka-ching!
This week is an exciting turn of events for you because your Astrological New Year begins with lucky Jupiter in your sign, which bodes well for your good fortune. In the next four weeks, you’ll be more popular, especially because old acquaintances, old friends and perhaps old flames are back in your world. Meanwhile, because this “New Year” begins on note of optimism and confidence for you, you will attract good opportunities to you. Oh yes. Others see you as warm, generous and inspiring. Personally, you’ll have a strong urge to learn and explore through travel, education or hearing ideas from others. You’re working hard this week, and you’re spending as well. Money in – money out.
As this week introduces the “New Astrological Year” (and the vernal equinox), you’ll be noticed by others because this is the only time all year when the Sun is at the top of your chart thrusting you in a flattering spotlight! (Smile but look appropriately modest.) Meanwhile, because others will admire you and see you as super capable (even if you don’t do anything different), you will be asked to accept increased responsibilities or to do a special job. Say yes because you will be able to please others without breaking a sweat. Speaking of which, just three squats every time you open your fridge door does wonders.
As this Astrological New Year begins, you want a change of scenery. You want to do something interesting and stimulating. If you can’t travel, then explore your own city — do exciting things! Visit galleries, museums, new restaurants and unfamiliar neighbourhoods. Talk to people from fascinating backgrounds. Be a tourist in your own town. This is also a great time to finish writing projects, important papers and manuscripts. (Yes, that screenplay.) Meanwhile. Mars might provoke hidden anger and frustration to surface within you. You might be easily irritated. Or hey, you might make a breakthrough in your personal growth? Don’t beat yourself up with second doubts and self-recriminations. Be kind to yourself. After all, life is short (and fat.)
As this vernal equinox heralds the Astrological New Year, your focus will shift to finances, taxes, debt and anything that you hold jointly with someone else. You might also have encounters with others that produce the need for psychological self-inquiry within you. Someone might challenge your value structure? Fortunately, more than any other sign, it will be easy for you to tackle financial paperwork and taxes. (Yay!) Nevertheless, work slowly and carefully despite the inevitable little mistakes and glitches due to Mercury retrograde. Old debts might be repaid to you now. Meanwhile, opportunities for physical activity, sports and competition are strong. “Bring it on!”
As this vernal equinox signals the beginning of the Astrological New Year, it also signals the fact that the Sun is now opposite your sign, something that happens only once a year for four weeks. Symbolically, this means the Sun is now as far away from you as it can get all year, and because the Sun is your source of energy, you will need more sleep. Many of you will think about or encounter ex-partners, spouses and old friends from your past. Some of you might even resurrect a faded love affair. In your professional world, your ambition is strong. If there’s something important to you that you want to get done – do it now because you’ve got the juice. (Stan has the vodka.)
Time to hustle! As this Astrological New Year begins, you’re pumped to work hard and get things done. “I’ve got a plan, Stan.” This is why you will make lists and make an effort to be as efficient as possible. In fact, some of you will extend these high standards into how you can improve your health as well. And why not? Why not have it all? Unfortunately, Mercury retrograde will on the one hand, help you finish old projects and old business; but on the other hand, it will create glitches, mixed-up communications, lost paperwork and delays. In addition, some of you might reignite an old work-related flirtation or romance. Travel and a change of scenery are calling your name. (Spelled wrong due to Mercury retrograde.) If you can’t travel, check out your own backyard.
It’s play city for you for the next four weeks. (Mom always liked you best.) Once a year you have opportunities to please yourself and do your own thing. Well, that time has arrived! Accept invitations to socialize and party with others. Enjoy schmoozing. Experience the arts – the entertainment world, sports events and movies. Explore romance and saucy flirtations that will pique your interests and desire. Many of you will enjoy playful activities with kids as well. Obviously, the next four weeks are the perfect time for a vacation or a fun getaway. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde will attract old flames back into your world. If not in actuality, then in your dreams. Retrograde Venus will heighten this. Romance is in the air!
For the next four weeks, your focus will be on home, family and your private life. Some of you might enjoy family reunions. Certainly, relatives you haven’t seen for a while will be popping up out of the woodwork, sleeping on your sofa and eating out of your fridge. Actually, this is a good time to finish old business with relatives. Perhaps do some closure or get agreement? It’s also an excellent time to finish home repairs and redecorating projects. Having said this, with fiery Mars opposite your sign, you’ll be easily annoyed with anyone who displeases you. “Off with her head!” Tension with partners and close friends is almost unavoidable; however, it will help you to put your cards on the table. “Deal!”
As this Astrological New Year begins, you’re raring to go. Expect a busy pace in the next four weeks with short trips, errands, appointments, increased reading, writing and studying plus conversations with siblings, relatives and neighbours. Yes, your dance card is full! However, transportation delays, car problems, missed buses and travel glitches will dog your footsteps. On the upside, you might have a chance to reappraise something that is beautiful or ignite your appreciation for something once again, especially something that is actually in your everyday world. This is a marvellous time to learn or finish old paperwork. Your secret blessing is you have energy to get thing done!
It may be “all about the bass”, but for the next four weeks, it’s going to be all about the money for you. Cash flow. Money in/money out. Earnings. Purchases. Expenses. If you’re looking for a job, your best chances are to reapply where you tried once before. Cheques in the mail will be late. Financial negotiations will be stalled. However, on the upside, you can also finish financial matters more quickly. Old debts might be repaid to you. You might also have a chance once again to buy something you really wanted in the past but somehow it didn’t happen.

Sweeten up your life with a quick, easy honey jar spell. Sometimes called a “sweetening jar” or “sugar jar spell”, this style of magick is one is a type of bottle spell.
If you’re a fan of New Orleans, love the stories that surround Marie Laveau and her practices, or are delving into the craft of your African American ancestors, this is a great spell to add to your book of shadows. Pull up a broom for another of our free love spells!
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.)
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!
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.”)
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.)
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.
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.
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.)
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.
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.
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.)
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.
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.
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.
I still don’t have my internet back. Supposed to be fixed by tomorrow but I wanted to remind those in North America to set your clocks ahead before you go to sleep tonight.

Some quartz crystals contain bits of greenish mineral matter in them. These are known as “money crystals” or “abundance crystals.” If possible, use one of these in this spell. Otherwise, a clear quartz crystal will work fine.
INGREDIENTS/ TOOLS:1 quartz crystal
An image that represents abundance to you
BEST TIME TO PERFORM THE SPELL:On a Thursday when the moon is waxing
Select a magazine picture or download an online image that symbolizes prosperity to you. It might be an object or condition you desire, such as a new home, a sports car, or a European vacation. Lay the picture face up on a windowsill where the moon’s light will shine on it.
Wash the crystal in warm water with mild soap to cleanse it of any unwanted energies. Dry the crystal, then hold it to your third eye (between your eyebrows) while thinking about your intention. Doing this sends the image into the crystal. Then set the crystal on the picture. Make sure the crystal’s point faces toward the inside of your home, to draw what you want to you. Leave the crystal in place overnight. In the morning, remove the crystal and picture and give thanks for the bounty you are about to receive.
