Astrology for the Week of March  20 - 26

Are you ready for dynamic new beginnings? I hope so because this week is overflowing with them.

Monday 3/20: 

• ☽ at 16° 16‘ Pisces ✳ ♅ at 16° 16‘ Taurus | 1:33 PM 
• ☉ at 29° 57‘ Pisces ✳ ♇ at 29° 57‘ Capricorn | 4:12 PM
• ☉ ▻ Aries | 5:24 PM

Monday eases us into a week full of big energy and dramatic changes.

At 5:24 pm eastern, the Sun joins Mercury and Jupiter in Aries to highlight this part of your chart in a BIG way. You had a hint of this when Venus swiftly made her way through this sign over the last couple of weeks helping you get crystal clear on what you want more (and less) of but the Sun delights in visiting Aries and now you’re far more likely to take action to get whatever it was you decided you wanted.  

Tomorrow we have a gorgeous new moon in Aries and it is the last opportunity you have for orderly seed planting in this area of your life for more than a year. 

Think about it like this. Imagine you’re in the Hundred Acre Woods living your best life with Pooh, Kanga, Rabbit, Owl, Piglet, and Tigger and it’s time to plant a garden. Right now you can have Rabbit plant tidy little rows with cute little labels reminding you what you’ve planted so you can nurture each type of plant appropriately. 

But after this two-week season is up, Tigger will be in charge of all of the planting in this area of life until 2026. Get clear on what you want so Tigger at least has something resembling a plan. It’s unlikely to go according to that plan but you’ll be starting with attention and intention.

Tuesday 3/21:

• ☽ ☌ ♆ at 25° 19‘ Pisces | 4:19 AM
• ☽ at 28° 06‘ Pisces □ ♂︎ at 28° 06‘ Gemini | 8:54 AM
• ☽ at 29° 57‘ Pisces ✳ ♇ at 29° 57‘ Capricorn | 11:57 AM 
• ☽ ▻ Aries | 12:01 PM 
• Aries 🌑 New Moon | 1:23 PM 
• ☽ at 00° 49‘ Aries ☌ ☉ at 00° 49‘ Aries
• ☽ ☌ ☿  at 05° 46‘ Aries | 9:33 PM 

Tuesday morning starts off a little foggy and frustrating but at 12:01 pm eastern, the cobwebs start clearing and at 1:23 pm eastern, we have a powerhouse New Moon in Aries.

Take time to really think about the Aries area of your chart today and over the next two weeks. This is the last non-eclipse Aries New Moon for a long time. Make decisions. Start things. Do all of the magic. 

What do you want? What will it take for you to have it? 

Don’t get me wrong, there will be plot twists because the eclipses are coming. But if you seed what you want now you are far more likely to end up with a harvest you enjoy rather than one that is created from seeds that are tossed about and planted in the winds of a hurricane.

By rising sign, this new beginning can be found:

• Aries Rising: Self-awareness, your identity, appearance, personality, the way you view yourself, your character, your primary motivation, your body, your health, and vitality
• Taurus Rising: Mental health, the subconscious, ways you self sabotage, the ways you isolate yourself, hidden enemies, transcendence, and spiritual liberation
• Gemini Rising: Friends with influence, alliances, your hopes and dreams, social media, personal and professional networks, unions, mentors, and that which supports you
• Cancer Rising: Your reputation, profession, actions, relationship with and to authority, your mother and her family, your destiny, and your ambitions
• Leo Rising: Higher education, divination, foreign travel, religion, astrology, the divine masculine, and your ability to grow, adapt, and learn
• Virgo Rising: Investment, other people’s money, debt, topics concerning death, psychology, taxes, fears, transformation, and the occult
• Libra Rising: Committed relationships, contracts, business partners, and other contractual relationships, and open enemies
• Scorpio Rising: Physical health, illness, coworkers, your job, pets, self-improvement, and the things you feel obligated to 
• Sagittarius Rising: Children, pleasure, romance, dating, sexuality, the things you desire,  the creative arts, love affairs, the ways in which you are entertained, close friends, and lovers 
• Capricorn Rising: Home, family, home life, land, ancestors, private self, your emotional foundation, gains from hidden sources, your father, and your father’s family
• Aquarius Rising: Communication, divination, short-distance travel, your neighborhood, writing, your immediate environment, the divine feminine, siblings, and cousins
• Pisces Rising: Money, possessions, resources, and how you make a living

Wednesday 3/22:

• ☽ ☌ ♃ at 16° 55‘ Aries | 4:16 PM

Wednesday is delightful. It’s full steam ahead on your New Moon intentions with a boost of luck and joyful optimism. 

Launch the thing, call the girl, sign the contract, dream the dreams (if you’re sure it’s what you want more of and not because you’re scared or bored).

Thursday 3/23:

• ♇  ▻ Aquarius | 8:23 AM 
• ☽ at 29° 08‘ Aries ✳ ♂︎ at 29° 08‘ Gemini | 1:12 PM
• ☽ ▻ Taurus | 2:41 PM
• ☽ at 00° 00‘ Taurus □ ♇ at 00° 00‘ Aquarius | 2:42 PM 
• ☽ at 01° 51‘ Taurus ✳ ♄ Pisces | 5:56 PM

There is a LOT going on Thursday.

Pluto enters Aquarius at 8:23 am eastern, this is the first time the Lord of the Underworld has been out of Capricorn since January of 2008. Yup. Think about how much has radically changed for you since 2008, even if you aren’t entirely sure what house Capricorn is in your chart. 

For me, it was in my 4th house and I’ve had two children, my parents and most of my close family of origin died, I experienced several traumatic events,  got divorced after being married almost 20 years, built a house, built a business, became a homeschooling mom, rebuilt my emotional foundation and became an entirely different person. NBD.

Back to the Aquarius of it all. 

Saturn spent the last three years in this area of your life helping you decide what structures and boundaries look like for you. You probably have entirely different standards than the ones you had when Saturn first entered in March of 2020. 

Now it’s time for the transformation to really begin. Pay attention to what happens in this area of life over the next couple of months because it is likely to be a powerful preview of the themes you’ll be experiencing over the next 20 years.

Pluto doesn’t abide superficiality. It’s deep and it’s dark and it wants transformative experiences. And it wants them here. 

There’s a framed quote on my desk by Kate Chopin, “She was becoming herself, casting aside that fictitious self which we assume like a garment.” 

That’s your Pluto in Aquarius mantra.  

Today also offers an extra activation of your Aries house plans as the Moon blows a kiss to the Lord of Aries, Mars before slipping into Taurus exaltation at 2:41 pm eastern.

But then we are back to the Pluto of it all because as soon as the Moon hits Taurus it locks horns with Pluto. This may offer a more dynamic preview of your Pluto in Aquarius themes BUT don’t worry if you don’t nail it down right away. There are a lot of factors that go into how much you’ll notice a transit like if it’s your profected house, a time lord is involved, what house it is in your chart, and how active that house is for you personally. You’ll have time to explore this preview in greater depth because Pluto will be hanging out here until June 11.

A tiny cheat sheet: If you have Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius Rising OR a lot of planets in one of those signs - you’ll for sure be feeling Pluto in Aquarius in a big way over the next 20 years.

Alright, I know you want to know what area of your life you’ll be casting aside that fictitious self so by rising sign:

• Aries Rising: Friends with influence, alliances, your hopes and dreams, social media, personal and professional networks, unions, mentors, and that which supports you
• Taurus Rising: Your reputation, profession, actions, relationship with and to authority, your mother and her family, your destiny, and your ambitions
• Gemini Rising: Higher education, divination, foreign travel, religion, astrology, the divine masculine, and your ability to grow, adapt, and learn
• Cancer Rising: Investment, other people’s money, debt, topics concerning death, psychology, taxes, fears, transformation, and the occult
• Leo Rising: Committed relationships, contracts, business partners, and other contractual relationships, and open enemies
• Virgo Rising: Physical health, illness, coworkers, your job, pets, self-improvement, and the things you feel obligated to 
• Libra Rising: Children, pleasure, romance, dating, sexuality, the things you desire,  the creative arts, love affairs, the ways in which you are entertained, close friends, and lovers 
• Scorpio Rising: Home, family, home life, land, ancestors, private self, your emotional foundation, gains from hidden sources, your father, and your father’s family
• Sagittarius Rising: Communication, divination, short-distance travel, your neighborhood, writing, your immediate environment, the divine feminine, siblings, and cousins
• Capricorn Rising: Money, possessions, resources, and how you make a living
• Aquarius Rising: Self-awareness, your identity, appearance, personality, the way you view yourself, your character, your primary motivation, your body, your health, and vitality
• Pisces Rising:  Mental health, the subconscious, ways you self sabotage, the ways you isolate yourself, hidden enemies, transcendence, and spiritual liberation 

Friday 3/24:

• 🌒 Waxing Crescent Moon | 12:58 AM
• ☽ at 19° 17‘ Taurus ☉ at 04° 17‘ Aries
• ☽ ☌ ♀︎ at 09° 00‘ Taurus | 6:30 AM
• ☽ ☌ ♅ at 16° 27‘ Taurus | 7:51 PM

Friday is nice, the Moon is getting brighter again and she’s being welcomed with open arms by the Empress herself, Venus. This is a great day to continue taking action on the changes you want to see manifesting in your life. 

There is one tiny little caveat that isn’t really a negative. There could be something surprising that comes up related to the eclipse themes of the past year sometime today.

Saturday 3/25:

• ♂︎ ▻ Cancer | 7:45 AM
• ☽ at 25° 28‘ Taurus ✳ ♆ at 25° 28‘ Pisces | 12:19 PM
• ☽ ▻ Gemini | 8:41 PM
• ☽ at 00° 02‘ Gemini △ ♇ at 00° 02‘ Aquarius | 8:46 PM

Now for the final act of massive energetic shifts, Mars finally moves out of Gemini and into Cancer (after seven months) on Saturday at 7:45 am eastern.

If I’m being honest, I don’t love Mars in Cancer. It’s harder for Mars to pick up a battle axe and attack something when he’s waist-deep in the ocean but at least he’s not in Gemini overthinking and questioning and generally causing mayhem in the realms of tech, communication, travel, and all of the other things that have made the last eight months feel a little like a never-ending Mercury retrograde.

With Mars in Cancer, you are far more likely to start taking massive action on topics related to your Cancer house but you could also feel positive action ripples in your Pisces and Scorpio houses.

By rising sign all of that activation (with perhaps a bit of aggravation):

• Aries Rising: Home, family, home life, land, ancestors, private self, your emotional foundation, gains from hidden sources, your father, and your father’s family
• Taurus Rising: Communication, divination, short-distance travel, your neighborhood, writing, your immediate environment, the divine feminine, siblings, and cousins
• Gemini Rising: Money, possessions, resources, and how you make a living
• Cancer Rising: Self-awareness, your identity, appearance, personality, the way you view yourself, your character, your primary motivation, your body, your health, and vitality
• Leo Rising: Mental health, the subconscious, ways you self sabotage, the ways you isolate yourself, hidden enemies, transcendence, and spiritual liberation
• Virgo Rising: Friends with influence, alliances, your hopes and dreams, social media, personal and professional networks, unions, mentors, and that which supports you
• Libra Rising:  Your reputation, profession, actions, relationship with and to authority, your mother and her family, your destiny, and your ambitions
• Scorpio Rising: Higher education, divination, foreign travel, religion, astrology, the divine masculine, and your ability to grow, adapt, and learn
• Sagittarius Rising: Investment, other people’s money, debt, topics concerning death, psychology, taxes, fears, transformation, and the occult
• Capricorn Rising: Committed relationships, contracts, business partners, and other contractual relationships, and open enemies
• Aquarius Rising: Physical health, illness, coworkers, your job, pets, self-improvement, and the things you feel obligated to 
• Pisces Rising: Children, pleasure, romance, dating, sexuality, the things you desire,  the creative arts, love affairs, the ways in which you are entertained, close friends, and lovers 

Sunday 3/26: 

• ☽ at 02° 06‘ Gemini □ ♄ at 02° 06‘ Pisces | 12:38 AM 
• ☽ at 05° 31‘ Gemini ✳ ☉ at 05° 31‘ Aries | 7:03 AM

On Sunday, enjoy having the Moon in Gemini without Mars for the first time in seven flipping months. I am for sure looking forward to it. 

If you’ve only been tracking your energy and attention by Moon sign for the last seven months, you may find that Gemini feels a bit different without Mars there. If you haven’t been tracking it at all, you need to get on that! 

If you’re feeling frisky, hit me up on Instagram and let me know how the astrology of the week played out for you.

Until next time, my wish for you is the full power of your attention focused on growing your intention.
