New Moon Report for 4/3 – New Moon in Aries

New Moon in Aries
Sunday, April 3, 7:32 am PDT, 10:32 am EDT
The New Moon in the first sign of the zodiac fires up restless feelings and strong desires for change. Impatience and innovation spark bright ideas that can burn out as quickly as they come if we don’t slow down to anchor them in reality. A sense of urgency is amplified by a conjunction between bold Mars and independent Uranus — both in Aries — that can provoke rebellion against rules and reason. There is genius in the air but cerebral Mercury is stuck in reverse until April 23, requiring several revisions before getting plans on track. This Sun-Moon conjunction in spontaneous Aries can free us from past inhibitions, allowing us to begin creating a radically different future.
The New Moon in Aries is the true starting point of the astrological year. While there is some danger in going too far too fast, it’s better to take chances by exploring unfamiliar territory than playing it safe. Mistakes can be corrected and other opportunities arise when we’re pro-actively pushing ahead instead of being passive now.

New Moon Report for 4/1 – Mars in Aries

Mars in Aries
Friday, April 1, 9:51 pm PDT, Saturday, April 2, 12:51 am EDT
Mars racing into its fiery home sign is another boost in this season of starting over. It joins the Sun, Jupiter and Uranus in Aries, making a quartet of race horses that can run over obstacles and people without looking back. Normally, this transit increases physical energy and spurs enterprising efforts. However, Mercury’s retrograde period in Aries is a reminder that even the fastest runners, brightest thinkers and bravest warriors benefit from a moment’s reflection every now and then.

Daily Horoscopes for 3/29

It would be wise today to reexamine the most important relationships in your life. Although you may think that all is well, chances are you’re looking at life through a Pollyanna filter. Instead of relying on your overconfident nature now, stop and check in with those most significant to you. Ask your friends and partners how they’re doing and then listen carefully to what they tell you. You might be surprised by what you hear, but you can make important improvements if you take what you learn to heart.

You may feel restricted today by too many tasks to complete for work. You could be ready to take a foolish chance just because you want to shake things up a bit. Fortunately, you’re very capable of moderating your emotional expression if you have a specific goal in mind. If you give yourself permission to fantasize about your freedom, you should be able to continue on the same path until your current restlessness settles down.

You may be contemplating taking a different direction in your life these days. Whether or not your current thinking endures, right now you’re ready to jump in and learn everything you can about something new. Fortunately, you’re capable of absorbing the basics of a difficult discipline or technical skill quite quickly and are happy to show others how clever you are. But appearing smart isn’t enough, so consider how to take your brilliant ideas and transform them into something that’s actually real.

You may be feeling let down or regretful today and it can be challenging to settle your thoughts. There’s too much going on in your mind, making it hard to filter out the extraneous noise. Don’t be overly self-judgmental; it’s natural to be fearful when so much is unknown about your future. The best thing you can do now is to pay attention to your heart’s desire while you continue processing everything that’s happening.

People around you may be acting strangely today as the quirky Aquarius Moon visits your 7th House of Others. But some of the eccentric behavior that you observe might be more reflective of your desire to do something exciting, even if you must stay focused on your current job. Claim your power by telling others what you want, instead of projecting your need for independence and unconventionality onto them.

It may be socially awkward for you to share your strong feelings for someone today. But you could end up regretting your actions if you let fear prevent you from expressing what’s in your heart. You are being pulled in two directions now and no matter what you do, you might wish you took the other course. Thankfully, just knowing that there is no single correct path should help you be less self-judgmental. Trust your instincts to tell you when the time is right.

You would like to believe that all is well and that everyone is doing okay. Unfortunately, this may not be the entire story today as negativity from a recent interaction leaks over into current events. As peace-loving as you may be, it now falls on you to stir up a bit of trouble. Don’t worry about what others think. It’s your job now to play the role of the heavyweight and talk about those subjects that everyone else is avoiding.

You may feel pretty optimistic about your role in the world right now. Although your place may not seem to be overly important in the big scheme of things, you can see the positive impact that you have on a day-to-day basis. Remember, success comes in many shapes and sizes. Fame and fortune are on one end of the spectrum while personal meaning and spiritual growth are on the other. Don’t judge yourself by what others think you should do; instead, pick your own path and follow your heart.

Your key planet Jupiter is journeying through your 5th House of Spontaneity, encouraging you to have more fun playing with your friends. However, its current opposition to stern Saturn could be putting the brakes on your party mobile. Luckily, you can get ahead of the curve by doing more long-term planning. You’ll be able to return to pursuing pleasure later, but now it’s time to get serious about your future.

Family matters may be taking up more of your time than planned, but the opportunities for growth and happiness make it difficult for you to remain uninvolved. Nevertheless, professional responsibilities are calling, and you cannot say no. Being busy in your personal life doesn’t make following your career path any easier. Avoid making a final decision until the current distractions subside.

Weird ideas are exploding in your brain and it’s challenging to figure out what to do today. You want to take each idea and run with it, but you cannot possibly finish what you initiate. Be careful, for you could start enough projects to keep you busy for a very long time. However, don’t stress if you still have lots of loose ends by the end of the day. It will be easy enough to clean up everything over the next few weeks during Mercury’s retrograde.

You may be feeling some fiscal pressure and there doesn’t seem to be a quick way out of your current predicament. But it’s not just about increasing your income or cutting down on your expenses. Somehow, the entire global financial condition has you spooked and it could take a complete overhaul of your lifestyle before you become fully comfortable again. Any positive changes, however small, you make now will help; just remember everything doesn’t have to happen overnight.
New Moon Report for 3/26 – Venus in Pisces

Venus in Pisces
Saturday, March 26, 11:53 pm PDT, Sunday, March 27, 2:53 am EDT
Venus’ entry into her romantic sign of exaltation makes hearts more tender. The spiritual side of intimacy grows in our collective awareness, which can be a significant source of compassion. Unconditional love allows us to give with less judgment and without expecting anything in return. But a lack of discrimination allows us to project illusions on others and idealize relationships that are far from perfect. This transit does raise aesthetics to an almost divine level, bringing a sense of communion through the arts and nature.
New Moon Report for 3/20 – Sun in Aries

Sun in Aries
Sunday, March 20, 4:21 pm PDT, 7:21 pm EDT
This new astrological year is supercharged by the Sun’s conjunction with Uranus and Jupiter’s presence in the zodiac’s risk-taking sign Aries. Impulsiveness and originality are riding high and motivated by itches for change. It’s time to reinvent ourselves with updated looks and fresh attitudes. The desire for freedom is so strong that it’s difficult to take orders, which can provoke conflict with authorities. Yet this hunger for stimulation encourages bolder behavior such as starting a new business or a taking relationship in a totally different direction. Being a pioneer is sometimes lonely but it’s often easier to fly solo when exploring new territory.
Daily Horoscopes for 3/20

The Sun’s visit to your sign should boost your vitality and provoke you to initiate action. You are very eager now to start something new, but it makes sense to moderate your impulses. Instead of wasting energy on an unsuitable venture, think twice before you cannot undo what you’ve done. If it still seems like a good idea after some serious thought, then go ahead with your plan.

Although plants and animals respond positively to the new spring season, you may be less expressive. But your introversion today isn’t about the fear of being seen; it’s just that you may be busy doing important spiritual processing. Don’t allow anyone to call you stubborn now; you’re more eager for change than usual. However, take the time you need to feel safe enough before coming out of your shell.

If you are naturally extroverted, the Sun’s entry into your 11th House of Friends marks an even busier social month ahead. You are now less interested in working hard to get ahead than taking it easy with your buddies and workmates. Instead of jumping through hoops to be noticed, relax and lose yourself in the group. There’s no need to stir up any more trouble than is necessary.

This is quite a stressful day with random thoughts encouraging you to swing into action without any prior reflection on what you’re about to do. This spontaneous behavior goes against your reflective nature, but it’s a tough day to wait patiently for a cosmic starting gun. Ultimately, you should be able to restrain yourself, but still could experience somatic discomfort if you don’t express your feelings. Be open to changing your mind, for the alternatives will continue to look better as the day goes on.

Last year’s unfulfilled dreams fade away as the Sun’s entry into your 9th House of Big Ideas draws you into the future. But this cosmic turning point is not about defeat. In fact, you don’t have the luxury of focusing on failure. Forget about the past and look forward toward a successful future. Although it may take a while to feel as if you are gaining ground again, don’t lose sight of the prize.

You may be wondering if your friends are supporting your efforts now or just pacifying you with approving nods. The truth is that you won’t necessarily know if someone’s working against your progress. Unfortunately, it may be a waste of time and energy trying to figure it out. Just proceed slowly until you’re given the green light. It’s more important to enjoy yourself while working toward your goals today than it is to reach them.

You are naturally predisposed toward working and playing with others, yet today your friend or partner might suggest that it’s time to do something on your own. Don’t think this is a rejection; it really isn’t personal. It’s just part of the evolution of any long-term relationship. Once you reestablish your metaphysical center, it will be even more fruitful to reunite and share your experiences with each other.

It’s frustrating to see all the options in front of you, knowing that your path has already been chosen for now. Even a slight improvement in the weather could be enough of a reason to increase your desire to set responsibilities aside and go out to play. Unfortunately, the timing isn’t right. Do your chores first and take care of your obligations before distracting yourself with something fun.

You are probably feeling pleased with yourself now because your creative energy is running strong. It’s easy to express yourself however you choose today. But something still prevents you from having as much fun as you expected. Letting go of previous assumptions can help, yet the ultimate solutions come with time. There’s no need to be in such a hurry; slow down and enjoy the present moment.

You may not respond well to someone pushing you to make a quick decision. You could even become argumentative if you have to defend your right to move at your own speed, rather than follow another person’s arbitrary schedule. However, turning this difference of opinion into an open conflict is not a smart idea and won’t bring you any closer to your heart’s desire. Loosen up; your flexibility in response to external demands can turn a difficult situation around to your advantage.

You may be dealing with conflicting agendas today. You need some downtime and think that working on your own is a smart idea. But don’t miss your chance to learn from the people in your immediate environment. Unfortunately, there’s no way to be alone and with others simultaneously. You can, however, benefit from the best of both worlds if you alternate your approach throughout the day.

It may seem as if others are just beginning their projects, yet you already started yours a while back. Take your efforts to the next level by creating more stability in your life. This could involve a new and different approach to allocating your time. Instead of focusing on an inspirational or creative process, increase productivity by prioritizing your tasks and then doing them methodically, one after another.
Daily Horoscopes for 3/16

Someone who knows you very well may be pushing your emotional buttons today. Of course, your wisest move is to look the other way so you can sidestep any interaction that could erupt into an unpleasant encounter, but you probably won’t be able to hide your annoyance. Luckily, you should be able to turn this difficult situation around by transforming your anger into compassion. A little love and understanding will go a long way now toward making everyone happy.

You may get a feeling, as if it’s time to set the record straight. You are even ready for a confrontation, if necessary, but everyone seems to mellow as the day draws on. Be willing to set aside logic and simply ride the emotional waves that originate from within your subconscious mind. Although the relentless Leo Moon’s ambition can be scary, sharing an intimate experience can help you overcome your fears.

Being sure of what you want is one thing, but becoming overly attached to any particular outcome is likely to bring unhappiness. You have a special opportunity now to push past an associate’s judgment that’s been bringing you down. More importantly, you have the ability to use the power of positive thinking to turn a potentially obsessive approach into one that’s certainly more manageable.

The Leo Moon increases your ability to remain steadfast today, motivating you to be very loyal in love. Nevertheless, your current resistance to change may grow into an obstacle to intimacy. It’s risky to reveal your feelings, so you might just let the present moment pass without saying anything at all. Now, however, you have a chance to change an old pattern. Start tentatively, but stay focused on what is in your heart. Ultimately, your willingness to share your vulnerability can deepen your connection with someone you love.

You are able to feel the magic today, but a dynamic change in a relationship won’t likely happen until you’re willing to listen to your partner and receive the very same love you so easily give. Keep in mind that everything cannot always be fun. You’re intelligent enough to understand that opening your heart to love also means opening it to heartache. Fortunately, a highly charged emotional interaction can morph into a more comfortable one later on.

Today runs more smoothly if you remember to let the tension build until it reaches a critical mass on its own. However, you may try to shake things up to catalyze an unstable situation. But don’t push your luck by demanding that everyone stops and pays attention to you. Paradoxically, intentional avoidance of a tough issue can be just as dangerous as attempting to express it. Allow feelings to surface naturally without judging any of them as right or wrong.

You may be worn out from following the dramas of your friends and associates, yet somehow their stories have also become yours. It isn’t a simple task to separate yourself from all the interpersonal relationships that require your time and attention. Although your stress may not be easily resolved, there’s movement that brings you closer to an answer today. Don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Leaning on a trusted friend can help just enough to move things off of dead center.

You cannot escape from your powerful feelings today, even if it’s not easy integrating them into your day. Although it’s healthy to share what you want with someone you trust, it’s unfair to make him or her responsible to deliver your satisfaction. Staying somewhat detached from the outcome creates enough sacred space for an original solution to magically unfold.

You might assume that you can get your needs met without having to consider the consequences of your actions. However, you may be temporarily stuck in a tidal pool now, where everything you do has immediate ramifications. Thankfully, you can make informed choices that lead you to a fair compromise. However, you should be prepared to work harder than ever if you want to do the right thing.

You might attempt to resist the pressure to explore your feelings today, for this seems like a lot of work without much benefit in return. Unfortunately, your desire to hold on to the status quo could cost you dearly because of a lost opportunity. However, the real reward won’t likely be money or recognition. The good news is that you have a chance to experience spiritual growth, which can bring a kind of happiness that money cannot buy.

Having a simple discussion with a friend or partner today can unleash unexpected torrents of emotional content. Although this conversation may be constructive, it’s easy to slip into disagreement over your divergent needs. Extra attention, combined with awareness, helps you understand that you can have strong opposing perspectives while still supporting each other’s dreams. This mutual appreciation can reveal a treasure that will deepen your relationship.

Although it’s hard to understand the forces that brought you to this very moment, you’re very clear about what you want next. Unfortunately, circumstances may not be very forgiving now, offering you less leeway to respond to a tricky situation at work. Thankfully, you can make things easier on yourself by acknowledging your willingness to wait for satisfaction. Your patience is the key to ultimately getting what you want.
Planetary Overview for the Month of March
|
|
March 1, 2011 Uranus in Aries 2011 has started on a dramatic note due to the freedom movements in the Arab world and the devastating earthquake in New Zealand. The powerful shaking in these vastly different parts of the world may be seen as foreshocks of bigger changes to come. The year began with a Solar Eclipse on January 4, followed by expansive Jupiter’s entry into independent Aries on January 22, and the New Moon in revolutionary Aquarius conjunct assertive Mars on February 2. Spikes of surprise and uncertainty shake us but instead of holding on tightly to what we know the astrological message is to relax and loosen up to adapt to the waves of change to come. On March 11 revolutionary re-enters Aries, inciting seven years of innovation and liberation. We may feel strange in a shifting reality where old enmities may reach their breaking points so that new alliances may be born. Union busting in Wisconsin and Indiana, for example, are the inevitable results of America’s turn to the right epitomized by Ronald Reagan’s election in 1980. Certainly, the short-term results of these conflicts will effect U.S. elections but these may only be interim steps in a greater political transformation that transcend party lines. Al Qaida was perceived as the leading anti-government force in Egypt yet events have bypassed the fundamentalist organization, at least for now. Other as yet unknown forces will arise in the U.S. and elsewhere to radically shift the course of history. On March 20 the Sun enters Aries where it will join Uranus the following day. Aggressive Mars, Aries’ traditional ruling planet, moves into pioneering Aries on April 1, throwing another log on the fires of freedom and discovery. There are periods when time seems to speed up and this is one of them. Some people are exhilarated by the ride but most of us are threatened when the speed of shifting circumstances outpaces our ability to assimilate them. Nonetheless, slowing down the tides of change is not possible and attempting to increase inner velocity may only add to a sense of chaos. One key to functioning effectively under the rising influence of Uranus and these other dynamic planetary shifts is flexibility. Recognizing that there are breakthroughs to be discovered frees us from the limits of current knowledge, habits and expectations. Uranus shatters the old mirror of reality, which is usually a painful experience, yet the scattered shards of broken glass lead our eyes in unfamiliar directions. More supple perspectives allow us to find truth in unexpected places, which is where we are heading. The capacity to flex our bodies, minds and spirits to bend around the hard corners of the old reality makes us avatars of a new one and creative participants in the next phase of human evolution rather than victims of unforeseen changes. |
Daily Horoscopes for 2/19

You may imagine yourself to be as unrestrained as a soaring eagle today, but your responsibilities don’t leave you enough freedom to actually take a flight of fancy. Even if you think you know the escape route, it’s still complicated to make your first move. This is frustrating because you are usually skilled at starting something new. Don’t judge yourself harshly for not following through on your feelings. For now, doing the best you can is good enough.

You might feel as if satisfaction is a long way off now because your key planet Venus is still squaring somber Saturn today. You may be exhausted from a very intense interaction at work with someone who makes you anxious. However, facing your fears is one way to push beyond the comfortable boundaries. Communication is challenging, yet the potential for transformation can bring you closer to your relationship goals.

Your feelings can push and pull you all over the emotional landscape today, making it nearly impossible to know what to do. It’s not that you’re wishy-washy; it’s just hard to make a final decision when staying open to all the possibilities sounds better. One moment you’re eager to cash in your chips and walk away. The next moment you’re working hard trying to figure out how to save everything. An all-or-nothing answer is not acceptable when there is so much middle ground yet to explore.

You may have something very important to learn today if a close friend stands in the way of your progress. Unfortunately, your first impulse may be to turn a minor confrontation into a major fight. But you don’t need to prove that you’re better than anyone else. Instead, shift your attitude so you can minimize your own resistance, show your vulnerability and be more receptive of other people’s feedback.

Everything may seem more complicated than necessary today, yet you cannot simplify your life to reduce your current stress. The complexity arises from your heart desiring something that you just don’t know how to get. Holding firm to your goals now is a smart strategy that should ultimately pay off, but you’ll need to show some flexibility along the way.

You want to get ahead at work, but might not have the patience now that is required to succeed. You may feel frustrated because your job would be much easier without all the needless distractions from your personal life. Unfortunately, your friends and family aren’t as supportive as you wish. Don’t be afraid to set clear boundaries or withdraw from others in order to maintain your integrity.

You may feel stuck today, as if your creativity is temporarily blocked. Your regular routine could fall apart now, making it impossible for you to concentrate on realizing your dreams. However, don’t sell yourself short by thinking that you can’t do the miraculous. You are more capable than you realize, but you must have faith and patience for positive results to manifest.

You must decide if you can keep up social appearances today and still remain true to yourself. But your current choices aren’t as crucial as they seem because they are part of a long-term process that can redefine the structure of your relationships. Your key planets, physical Mars and passionate Pluto, are intensifying your feelings as the boundary between friendship and romantic love is tested. There are no wrong decisions now; just be clear about your overall direction.

Someone might give you a hard time about taking yourself too seriously today. Nevertheless, there is a lot going on now. You don’t like it when others disagree with you for no apparent reason other than spreading ill will, but it may be your own frustrations that are creating the bulk of the current stress. At least make sure that you continue to meet your obligations at home, even if you’re still sorting out how to handle everything else.

You may not be very happy if someone close to you wants something from you that you cannot deliver now. Unfortunately, these demands can precipitate a power struggle that won’t likely have a winner because of interpersonal complications. Don’t waste your energy trying to fix an irresolvable situation, instead change the rules of the game. It’s not a competition; if anyone is a loser, then no one wins.

Although you might want to shake up the status quo today, you won’t be successful unless you acknowledge the current limitations that are part of your life. Fortunately, circumstances won’t remain like this forever, even if you can’t see a path that will take you to your destination. Trying too hard now only pushes your goal further away. Paradoxically, relaxing your grip on the future may be the best way to make sure that you get there on time.

You are tired of learning hard lessons today and may rebel just to stretch your muscles. You are tempted to stir conflict by questioning an authority figure if one appears to be too rigid in his or her approach. Examine your own role in fomenting the current tension. When you stop projecting your internal battles onto others, relationships will become much easier to manage.
New Moon Report for 2/18 – Sun in Pisces

Sun in Pisces
Friday, February 18, 4:26 pm PST, 7:26 pm EST
The Sun’s entry into Pisces closes out the astrological year with tender hearts and rich imaginations. It is a time to find inspiration in nature, in the arts and in our dreams. A vague feeling of vulnerability can increase doubts about our capacities to deal with the material world, making escapism more appealing. Spiritual retreat or substance abuse are two very different ways to salve the pain of disillusionment. Faith in forces greater than our own provides nourishment for the soul without polluting minds with religious prejudice and moral judgment. Forgiveness is the gift of this tender transit and is freely available to all of us.
New Moon Report for 2/18 – Full Moon in Leo

Full Moon in Leo
Friday, February 18, 12:36 am PST, 3:36 am EST
The face-off between the self-conscious Moon in Leo and the Sun in cool collective Aquarius increases awareness of how the ego works. Yet the clarity that accompanies most Full Moons is obscured by nebulous Neptune’s conjunction with the Sun. Delusions of grandeur or inflated infantile behavior are neither beneficial nor illuminating. Fortunately, sharp minds may penetrate foggy stories with Mercury and Mars’ close proximity to the Sun. This is a powerfully creative time when the only limit on ideas is how to integrate individual genius within a group process.
