Saturday, March 17, 2018 – Saturday, March 24, 2018
We have a today at noon time. We are going to focus on this Mercury and this Venus aspect. It is not as common as we think. The class is at noon. It runs until 2:00. It is in Watertown. Give me a call. I’ll give you the number later.

Good morning. Well, we have a busy week with some interesting changes. We are going to have the vernal equinox this week. And also a Mercury retrograde. All kinds of things.

Saturday March 17 at 9:11 AM there was a New Moon. This New Moon took place at 27 degrees of Pisces. This Pisces Moon will also welcome Mars for a sign change at 12:41 PM. Mars is going into the business sign of Capricorn. The next thing that is going to happen 3/17 is that Mars will travel out of bounds until the 6th of April at 12:11 PM. So an out of bounds Mars means that things, actions, activities, directions are all out of ordinary. They are off the charts. They are particularly from the weird side of life. Going and seeking information from other sources and bringing back experiences.

When Mars changes signs at 12:41 PM is when you might consider the Moon is void of course. I don’t consider the Moon void of course in Pisces, Taurus, Cancer or Sagittarius. The Moon changes signs and travels into the constellation of Aries at 2:57 PM.

The Aries Moon continues throughout this evening and until 9:07 PM Monday. The first thing that happens is Moon square Mars at 3:03 PM. This is particularly action oriented. It has a lot of challenging information or challenging aggressive qualities to it. So you want to be part of the solution. So you just want to observe to see what happens at 3:03 or just a couple of minutes before that. It should be very interesting.

Mars in Capricorn is really all about business. It is about driving things through. The principles of climbing the ladder, and going by the rules, and people that have reached a certain level of respect and status. Many subjects may be about status. Father issues are particularly strong during Mars in the sign of Capricorn as well.
At 9:07 PM on Monday the Moon enters the sign of Taurus.

The Aries Moon will bring us a Moon square Saturn in Capricorn tomorrow morning. So you may do better if you sleep past that aspect. We are still in the dark of the Moon until the evening hours. You might see a little of the Moon if you look on the western horizon right at sunset. And watch as the Sun sets you can probably see the little bit of the Moon.

There is a couple of really cool things going on. There is a romantic notion in the air. For one that is contributing to it is Venus in an aspect with Neptune. It is a mild aspect. And then the Moon will touch off both Venus and Mercury as it joins them. One at 5:58 PM. The Moon and Venus are conjunct. And then at 7:47 PM the Moon and Mercury are conjunct.

These two planets Venus and Mercury are together. Their exact conjunction will be on Tuesday, 12:02 AM, but they are being activated early with the Moon’s aspect to them Sunday at 5:58 PM – 7:47 PM. This is about perhaps meeting people, being introduced to people that might become your future mate… through someone else I would think that you meet this person. Someone introduces you and says, “I know someone who might be good for you.” But you want to note that Venus is in the sign of its detriment. This can mean that Venus is not happy in the sign of Aries. Venus is far too impatient, far too dismissive. Venus may even actually meet someone who would be very good as a mate. But says, “oh no. They are not for me.” And they could be… and the Venus person can be totally wrong about that. So patience, and a sense of quality, and a sense of value would be a good thing to invite during the Venus and Aries.

Venus doesn’t leave Aries until March 31st.

So then what we have for the rest of Sunday pretty easy going evening. If you have plans on Sunday evening, the Moon in Aries is very direct and active. Wants to start things up, wants to create some type of stir. At times with the Moon in Aries, it tends to put a fire in the middle of the room, and then wonder why you are so upset. And then he leaves before the fire can be put out. It is an instigator. Very, very instigating.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Monday

For Monday March 19th Ceres is turning direct. Now Ceres is about nurturing care-taking. In the sign of Leo definitely it is about children and about people who are directing the show. This is about also about the creative projects. So this is where you nurture your children, and your heart, and your creative projects, and more. Foods can definitely be geared toward the very best catering companies that open up during this time. May be grand and have extraordinary dishes fit for a king, in the sign of Leo. The other thing that is notable about this Ceres direct station is that it occurs opposite to where there will be a Lunar Eclipse coming up in July. So there is a message in this Sunday night Monday activity regarding nurturing and care-giving and projects that you want to nurture. There is a message in there that may be released or brought out into the open. Or used in some greater way at the end of July at that Lunar Eclipse.

There is pretty much on Monday just a free flow of activity during that Aries Moon thereafter. The Moon is making a couple of aspects, one of which is Moon conjunct Uranus at 3:28 PM. So there might be some startling information that is available to use in a unique and modern way. The void of course period I’m going to mark 7:54 PM on Monday until 9:06 PM, when the Moon enters Taurus. And that void of course period is marked by the Moon and Sun aspect. That would be at 29 degrees of Pisces where the Sun is. And the Moon at 29 degrees of Aries. So I always include the Moon and Sun aspects.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Tuesday
The aspect for the change of sign which would be the Moon entering Taurus. This will greet the Mercury and Venus conjunction on Tuesday, the vernal equinox on Tuesday, and more.

So that Mercury and Venus conjunction brings people together with shared sentimental interests. This can also be great for meeting with siblings, connecting with siblings, people that you have been out of touch with for a long time, visiting that sweet aunt or grandmother that is tucked away somewhere. The aspect takes place at 16 degrees of Aries. This is where Mercury turns retrograde. So this is a very important statement that is being made about partnering and pairing and maybe even joining others in their administration bringing new people together. Maybe that perhaps will try and last longer, although Venus doesn’t stay very long when in the sign of Aries.

Venus will move on out of that conjunction where Mercury will pretty much be standing still as Mercury turns retrograde on Thursday. So you want to listen to every little noise. See if you can fix things. Be a good listener. Be a very good observer over this next week before Mercury turns retrograde. If you have to fix anything, I would say, do it now.

But if you are trying to beat the Mercury retrograde, sign papers before it turns retrograde you may not accomplish these things. Number one you probably won’t get the people all together that you need to collect because of some type of…I don’t know. Maybe one person is away on vacation, another person is down with the flu. You can’t get people together to sign. That typically always happens just before Mercury turns retrograde which says it is next to impossible to beat it before it happens.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Wednesday

One of the reasons for that is that Mercury is in its shadow of a retrograde period since, in this instance, March 8th. So I would say you want to focus on family matters in particular on Wednesday. The best period is from 1:30 PM until the next day. That is because the Moon traveling through the sign it will make an aspect to Jupiter in an opposition at 1:21 PM. That could be the mark of a void of course Moon, for those of you who use void of course Moons, while the Moon is in Taurus. I don’t. The Moon is considered in its exaltation or its best place in the sign of Taurus, all through the sign.

A good period that will be about until 1:25 PM Wednesday until Thursday when the Moon goes into Gemini at 1:30 AM. That would be the period you want to use to try and forward your goals.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Thursday
I would say keep the focus on family events not necessarily money matters because of the fact that Mercury is stationary and will go retrograde the next day on Thursday.

The Taurus Moon changes to Gemini at 1:29 AM. Mercury retrograde is on the agenda at 8:19 PM. It will be retrograde until April 15th, Tax Day. Which I think in this case we get a little break. It is not until the 17th. But the 15th is when Mercury turns direct.

There are a couple of things to note on Thursday that are interesting. Very romantic and dreamy aspect between Venus and Neptune. This might also…there is supposed to be some weather like another storm, like we need another storm here in New England, on Wednesday and Thursday. So this may contribute to that in some way.

Another thing that is notable on Thursday would be Mercury has a temporary link to a person, a wise person. Maybe someone who is being hired in our current administration or in your office or around your home in some way. They may be very temporary. So you may want to have a good back up plan for who is the next person. Maybe the next lawyer or consultant that you will hire in lieu of a short link with a wise person on Thursday.

After Mercury goes retrograde at 8:19 PM on Thursday there is a Green Light period. So you can move forward with something you want to redo, renew, review. Just take anything that you could qualify as second time around. Review. retake. Anything. Retract. Anything that you want to put a “re” in front of is typical great use of Mercury retrograde.

It is not a bad period for taking advantage of things. You want to keep in the back of your mind that somethings may be short lived or may have a lot of things to work out. Like people buy cars during Mercury retrograde period. They find that it is fine. Some people have said they have bought their best car during a Mercury retrograde. So it is not always a difficult thing to use. Everything is very specific. I would not sign a 30 year mortgage or something like that. That has to go through the hoops over the years. Because it is likely to invite every three months some kind of problem.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Friday

Venus and Pluto on Friday will form a square. That will be at 7:17 PM. That one stirs up a lot of jealousies, stirs up some money problems, and could be the source of some type of issue between people behind the scenes fighting. Lots of things about a woman behind the scenes and trying to stop anything that this woman may have to say or do. I can think of somebody who stands out in particular in the news, who has a really stormy quality to her.

There is an aspect between Moon and Uranus. That sudden abrupt enlightenment in a positive way. 11:52 PM on Friday beginning a void of course Moon. And that puts an end to the Green Light period too. The void of course Moon will end at 4:52 AM when the Moon enters the next sign of cancer on Saturday. It will be there through the weekend. That’s it for the week.

Again I want to mention my class. Please join me. Call me or text me to let me know that you are coming because space is so limited. I will give you my cell phone number so that you can text me 617 – 558 – 7233. Just include your name in the text. If anyone wants to text me, you go right ahead. Also my phone number here in my office 617 – 924 – 0929. Have a great week and Happy Spring. And I hope the Sun in Aries brings us an actual beautiful spring time. You take care.
