March 2010
(Eastern Time)

Worldwide, MARCH vibrates to responsibilities relating to family, domestic affairs, work, and health. This includes topics on the same things. Be in tune with your own health and see a doctor if something seems amiss. Mars turns direct on March 10th returning it to full power.  Mars gives us the energy to move forward. It is the foundation for our ambition, drive. Energy in excess can be dangerous so move and speak with caution around the 10th.  The first couple days of March may have a strong effect on the stock market. A major shift (challenging) involving banks occurs around the 10th.  With the new moon in Pisces, intuition is heightened as well as anything involving water or liquids. With several planets entering Aries during the month – being opposed by the transit of Saturn in Libra, a complexity of energies emerges. One wants to ACT NOW and the other wants to THINK and KEEP THE PEACE. Arrgh!  Thankfully, Saturn is still weak due to it’s retrograde motion, so new projects, adventures, partnerships, etc will be able to move forward as planned. Impulsiveness, however, must be tempered with patience. An increase in unexpected events is evident – see notes below “2010”- watch the days surrounding Mar 5th, 10th, 22nd and 24th for sudden world changes.

NEW MOON:  MAR 15 at 6:01pm in PISCES at 25 degrees – the next 4 weeks will enhance and spotlight creative activities such as art, music, singing, painting, and psychic phenomena.

FULL MOON: MAR 29 at10:25pm in LIBRA at 9 degrees – fulfilling wishes will definitely be highlighted.  Finding ways to compromise or work together will bring peace and will be the challenge for the next two weeks.

Saturn continues retrograde in Libra and Mars is also retrograde until the 10th when it returns to direct motion. (More info under retrograde planets)

2010:

Jupiter and Uranus have not travelled together in the sign of ARIES since the late 1920s. When the crash occurred in 1929, Uranus was still travelling in Aries, but Jupiter had already moved rapidly ahead into Gemini. It might be of interest to know that Uranus travels much slower than Jupiter. Uranus is in a sign approx 7 years while Jupiter is only in a sign approx 1 year.  Having these two linked in ARIES this summer could create interesting (?) scenarios.  Is this linkup creating the stage for bigger things to come like in 1927-28-29? The following gives more info:

The planet Jupiter, the giver of luck and hope, is in Pisces until Jan 2011 with one exception. During the summer, it zooms forward into Aries for 3 months, stops, and moves back into Pisces for the rest of 2010. Jupiter in Pisces expands interest in the arts; all things liquid (oil, chemicals, water); increases optimism, compassion and understanding.
Jupiter is not concerned about “too much” or “overloading”, so overdoing is likely. For instance, rainfall may be above normal; serious flooding could again make headlines; viruses/drug stories are bigger than usual; musicians/singers/artists find spotlights changing to a floodlight; lawyers, judges are under close scrutiny; places of worship and colleges have additional focus. The last time Jupiter was in Pisces was in 1998 for those who can remember.

Uranus (planet of the unexpected and unpredicted) is in Pisces at the beginning of the year. It began the transit thru Pisces in 2003 and will finish by Jan 2011. It is in a bit of a hurry to get out of Pisces so it will rush into Aries for a few months during the summer – joining Jupiter.  This is a “hot” situation. Much that happens will be unpredictable. It is like the weather.. if clouds are around, take an umbrella just in case a sudden rain shower develops.
With Jupiter also moving into Aries during the summer of 2010, military advancement, activities with law enforcement, aggressive behaviors, increased violent acts, medical breakthroughs – all could be possible and each to some degree will occur from what I “see”.  Environmental changes appear to be inevitable. An increase in volcanic/earthquake activity is strong and could interfere with travel.

With Uranus holding hands with Jupite all year long, there is increased probability for sudden turns of events related to hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, radio/tv broadcasting, airplanes/airports/pilots and/or water power. Secrets are kept and secrets are sold.  If you are looking for something positive, how about new inventions, new vaccines, new medical breakthroughs, new weapons treaties. Aries is the sign of the pioneer so the territory this summer could be “uncharted” with new and fresh approaches needed.

Pisces sun signs and the astrological house in your personal chart that is ruled by Pisces will welcome the infusion of Jupiter’s optimism and golden opportunities for the next year. The only caution is “too much of a good thing”. For instance, if you have a Pisces Ascendant (rising sign), this is a time when exercise is very important because without it, Jupiter will gladly expand your waistline and weight!!  Also, “laws” are ruled by Jupiter. If you are feeling good and speeding down the highway, you will be pulled over and ticketed!  Maintain a balance so that you are not overloaded with “goodness” from Jupiter. Note, too, that military matters are ruled by Jupiter and with the Uranus support, it appears those matters will increase in 2010..and with the signs Pisces and Aries involved, all things regarding waters/oceans, drugs/chemicals and explosions seem likely to increase.

Countries and their rulers:

Daily Forcasts

Mar 1  -  The month starts with a leftover Virgo moon energy which goes VOID at 12:36pm. The moon will be void in the after until it enters Libra at 7:31pm. The morning should be used for creating agendas for the month, finishing up details from last month and preparing for new information to arrive. The tendency to being critical should be curtailed. Speak kindly and softly to avoid battles. The afternoon brings the opportunity for compromise. A good afternoon for presentations.

Mar 2  -  With moon still in Libra, emotions are put aside in favor of logical thoughts and actions. If emotions are allowed to build, it is possible arguments could ensue. Keep your cool today. It is a good day for thinking and putting ideas into motion. Leave emotional issues for another day. War strategies are keenly considered. Aries sun signs trip over their own feet now so, slow down and smell the flowers.

Mar 3 -  The moon is in Libra until 3:44pm when it enters VOID. There are no major aspects to distract you. At 9:11pm, it leaves the VOID state and enters the emotionally deep sign of Scorpio.  This evening it is important to go with the flow as much as possible. Be prepared for sudden changes in plans.  The tendency is to withdraw or become secretive when the moon moves into Scorpio as thoughts are deep and intuition is stronger.

Mar 4 -  This is overall a great day. The moon is in Scorpio which gives Scorpio, Cancer and Pisces sun signs a healthy dose of “feel good” energy. Leo, Aquarius and Taurus sun signs should tread lightly or else! J  Private investigators, detectives, etc should find this day to be rewarding with good information being uncovered. Taurus sun signs might feel a bit of pressure to perform today and should delay critical decisions for a few days, if possible.

Mar 5 -  The moon is still in Scorpio until 11:31pm when it enters VOID until tomorrow morning. Today is not too bad again.  Unexpected news comes in from an unusual source. It may be unsettling. Be patient until you get all the details as impulsiveness will cost you in the end.

Mar 6 -  The moon enters Sagittarius very early today. The morning is much smoother than the late afternoon and evening. If you have plans to go out, do it with friends as one on one dating might suffer tonight!  Having a group of people around keeps the energy light and rather funny. Gemini sun signs might feel overloaded and talkativeness expands--a few hours alone will help diffuse this!

Mar 7 -  The moon continues in Sagittarius which vibrates nicely with Venus moving into Aries today. The morning has a bit of testy energy so count to ten before acting or speaking. The afternoon will smooth things over. With Venus now in Aries, those born under the Aries sun sign will be showered with sweetness for the rest of the month. It is a “feel good” kind of energy. Even Libra sun signs-opposite of Aries- will feel this positive effect.

Mar 8 -   The moon enters VOID at 6:14am creating a sluggish start to the day. Running late to work? Cannot seem to get out of bed? Blame it on the moonJ.  Once you are moving, the AM pretty much takes care of itself. The afternoon, however, finds the moon entering serious Capricorn at 12:13pm along with a couple of challenging aspects between seeking pleasure and taking care of responsibilities. Taking care of business should be a priority under this energy… then go play.  With Mars preparing for changing direction to a forward motion, consider making a list of things that need to be done and prepare for the avalanche of energy that this change will bring. The air seems “electrified”.

Mar 9 -   The moon in Capricorn is sometimes a cooling down from all the optimism and socializing that the Sagittarius moon brought. It is a good time for paying bills, reviewing your financial position, seeking loans or financial support. It is black and white, so do not expect a lot of sympathy – just straightforward advice.  Cancer sun signs may feel drained as this energy is opposite your desire to nurture and take care of people.  ENERGY IS ERRATIC DUE TO MARS STATIONING FOR RETURN TO DIRECT MOTION TOMORROW.

Mar 10 – MARS RETURNS TO FORWARD MOTION AT 12:05PM. The moon is still in Capricorn going VOID at 4:59pm for the rest of the day.  This is an energetic day and one during which a lot will be accomplished. Watch for banking or financial news – maybe even shocking.  In Dec ’09, Mars retrograded, slowing down the energy for moving forward. Now, with the full support of Mars in Leo, we can get down to business.  And we must, because in Mid-April, Mercury, ruler of the flow of money, communications, electronics, etc, will retrograde in Taurus.  Cancer sun signs as well as Aquarius sun signs should maintain a quiet composure.

Mar 11 – The moon moves into the social sign of Aquarius. Other than a bit of challenge to your desires midday, individually this should be a good day. Globally we may see drastic swings in the market.  Be careful with stocks. Do not risk what you cannot afford to lose.

Mar 12 - Happy Birthday Mom! NO EXACT ASPECTS for the entire day. With the moon still in Aquarius, this is a day you can make of it what you want to.  In fact, it might be difficult to stay focused on anything today...a good day to relax, have fun.

Mar 13 – Early morning the moon enters a VOID state until 1:43pm when it then moves into the sensitive sign of Pisces. This is a day for daydreaming, browsing the bookstores, watching an inspiring movie or musical or playing with your children, pets or maybe catching a game.  Rainstorms, high tides, unusual oceanic activities will keep the meteorologists busy. Keep an eye on the weather. Virgo sun signs are frustrated with the “go with the flow” energy of Pisces, making decision making challenging.

Mar 14 -  DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME begins. The moon continues in Pisces lending the day to compassionate and charitable events and outpourings. With a new moon tomorrow, the energy today is elevated and more “busy” which is opposite the laid back energy this day commands. Air travel news, disruptive “water” events, i.e. floods, etc are now entering the headlines.

Mar 15 -  NEW MOON in Pisces 25 degrees at 5:01pm. Today brings an opportunity to balance some outstanding karma. If you are “quibbling” with someone, or have been, this is a good day to reach out and resolve the issue. The next four weeks are available for healing wounds – physical as well as emotional.  Messages will be coming and going and quite fast. The airlines could face possible delays or challenges around the time of the new moon.  The moon enters VOID at 8:01pm.

Mar 16 – The moon moved into Aries overnight. There is a tremendous amount of energy in the air creating strong differences of opinion and major shifts of beliefs. Government leaders are highlighted. There could also be major earth shifts. The tendency to be more assertive is prominent. Counting to 10 seemingly does not work. Libra sun signs feel scattered mentally and physically drained.  Watch for an increase in disagreements that turn violent. Fires are larger than usual and more destructive. Be careful handling sharp instruments or weapons.

Mar 17 – MERCURY enters ARIES – The moon in Aries being joined my Mercury gives the emotions and mental outlook a sharp definitive focus. Conversations are quick and to the point, perhaps even abrupt.  You might feel like a “genius” or on the verge of a grand idea and you might be right as flashes of brilliance sprinkle throughout the day!  Write your ideas down so you do not forget them. This is a very mentally brilliant day!

Mar 18 – Moon enter VOID at 7:23am until it enters the steady and grounded earth sign of Taurus at 12:29pm. The morning has tough energy – watch disputes over trivial “stuff”.  Once the moon moves into Taurus, a confrontational rift could occur around early afternoon, then the energy will calm down. I would pass on anything mind altering tonight, ie, alcohol.

Mar 19 – Moon in Taurus continues and brings a settling of affairs.  Be watchful of banking affairs, making sure all numbers are correct.  Unless you are getting a “whale of a deal”, delay making major purchases as they will end up costing you too much. Be careful to not overeat!   Artists receive a beam of energy that heightens the creative surges. Scorpios find Taurus energy to be attractive but very challenging, so you might want to sit this moon out.

Mar 20 – The moon is in Taurus until 3:42pm when it enters VOID until 8:28pm when it moves into the mentally sharp sign of Gemini. The SUN moves into the leadership sign of ARIES. It joins Venus and Mercury in Aries bringing extra, extra, extra energy to new relationships, new ideas, war strategies while it intensifies the possibilities of fires, volcanic eruptions and sudden changes in plans.   Aries sun signs are now experiencing a birthday giving them renewed energies for another birthday year.

Mar 21 -  With the moon in communicative Gemini, conversations abound. This is a great day to catch up on emails, phone calls, and thank you notes. Update your calendar. The day is rather smooth but the evening does have uneven energy that could find you with a speeding ticket if you are out and about.  Be careful driving! Sagittarius sun signs should pay attention to this more than most signs.

Mar 22 – The moon is in Gemini giving you another day to catch up on phone calls, letters, notes and publications. If you are a writer, journalist or reporter, you will feel on top of things today. Enjoy this as there could be events that put you in the limelight unexpectedly.

Mar 23 – The moon moved into the sensitive, nurturing sign of Cancer overnight. Ugh, the energy early morning really is rather “whiny”.. tempting you to stay in bed. If you can, do it! If you cannot, then know the day will bring some yucky energy midday but then moves into a much better afternoon energy.  Capricorn sun signs should just be quiet and let this pass as it will drive you crazy if you attempt to figure out the emotional roller coaster of this moon.

Mar 24 – The moon continues in Cancer highlighting the medical profession and social workers. Maintain a balance with the fluids in your body as swelling can occur easily.  I suggest a drink that balances your electrolytes.

Mar 25 – The moon entered VOID overnight and remains VOID until 5:39am when it enters the limelight grabbing sign of LEO.  This is a really upbeat day. The energy is moving quickly. There could be a headliner involving a political leader.  Aquarius and Taurus sun signs do not always appreciate the grandiose energy of LEO; it would be best to minimize interaction with others, pick up a good book or go outside and be with nature.  This is an energy for gambling but remember gamble only what you can afford to lose!

Mar 26 – Moon continues in Leo with great positive energy. This is a wonderful night for romance, gambling, playing games or the theater for example.  Enjoy it.

Mar 27 – The moon is VOID from 3:04am until 6:57am when it enters the picky sign of VIRGO. This is an excellent day to start a nutrition plan, exercise program or generally a better health program. Pisces sun signs need to pull the covers up and stay in bed! With energy building for the full moon on the 29th, this brings out sharp comments and irritating behaviors.

Mar 28 – The Moon is still in Virgo with yucky energy early morning. Ugh. Rest is important today. Take care of routine projects and tasks. Although the energy is “full”, it is also draining, so take your time, go slow and watch the tendency to criticize.

Mar 29 – FULL MOON at 10:25pm in VIRGO at 9 degrees LIBRA – The moon enters LIBRA at 7:21am bringing a shift from a critical energy to one that wants things to be peaceful. The problem is, this cannot just happen by changing the time. It will take the rest of the month to truly integrate this full moon energy and settle things down. Aries sun signs are combative so avoid them if possible!

Mar 30 – Fallout from the full moon still hangs in the air as the moon continues in Libra.  Mar 12 and today are the only two days in March with no aspects .. so this is a day you can make of it what you want.

*Planets Direct/Retrograde this Month
When a planet is retrograde, its energy is weakened, misunderstood or projected in an unclear manner.  The sun signs, industries, activities and so forth ruled by the retrograde planet, will feel held back, restricted, misunderstood or weakened. This is also a time when you are given an opportunity to re-do, re-evaluate these areas.  Many times it brings about a better solution or happier direction.

MARS is still retrograde until Mar 10th. It is in the sign of Leo. Normally it visits each sign from 6-8 weeks. However, it will not complete this transit until June 2010. When it retrogrades, it moves into a softer position, especially where matters of the self are concerned. Those Leo sun signs who were in the limelight will find the brightness turned down or completely turned off. In some cases, if you wanted a bright light shining on you, during this retrograde period, the light only shines a little. Once it goes back to direct motion in March 2010, the floodlights will come on again! If you have any heart or blood pressure problems, this is the time to have a checkup.

SATURN continues retrograde in Libra until Apr 7th. Saturn rules Government and Government officials. Capricorn sun signs and ascendants will be given an opportunity to review progress in business, budgets, banking relationships and any dental decisions that perhaps you have delayed.  The area of your personal astrological chart that hosts Capricorn on the cusp will be included in this review; i.e., Capricorn on your 4th house of home, family, etc.. may have you reviewing the type of home you want, a remodeling project, visiting family members, especially Mom or perhaps working on a family tree. In retrograde mode, Saturn is not as strong as when it is in direct motion allowing time for careful consideration of decisions.

*VOID of Course Moon (VOC or VOID)
When the transiting moon makes no aspect to a transiting planet, it is considered to be void. During these void periods – which can last a few minutes or days – it is not prudent to sign contracts, interview for jobs, or set appointments. Why? Because things do not usually turn out the way we expect when done under void energy.   Appointments are likely to be delayed, rescheduled or cancelled, job interviews are fruitless and contracts fall through. There are miscommunications and misunderstandings. I personally believe that under the void energy solutions to problems can be found. Therefore, it is an excellent time for lawyers to find loopholes in cases or uncover evidence that will turn the case. One thing is for certain -- always expect the unexpected under a VOC.  I have found the void moon energy is EXCELLENT for LUCK especially for finding solutions to problems. Sticking to routine matters works best.
