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

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

The eccentric Aquarius Moon forms a supportive sextile with outgoing Jupiter in Aries, while three additional planets in fiery Aries encourage spontaneity and amplify the potential for excitement further. Meanwhile, the Moon’s harmonious trine to responsible Saturn helps us balance our enthusiasm, reducing the pressure from yesterday’s opposition between indulgent Jupiter and austere Saturn. It should be easier now to determine the right approach.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

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.

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

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.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

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.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

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.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

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.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

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.

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

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.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

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.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

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.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

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.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

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.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

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 3/20 – 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 3/16

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

Today’s expressive Leo Moon enables us to share our feelings, yet we can’t see the real obstacles ahead. The Moon’s harmonious trines to exaggerating Jupiter and loquacious Mercury tempt us to bet on a longshot and promise more than we can possibly deliver. However, it becomes more difficult to give others what they want when the self-reflective Leo Moon opposes social Venus, pitting our personal desires against the needs of the larger community.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

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.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

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.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

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.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

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.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

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.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

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.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

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.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

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.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

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.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

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.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

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.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

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.
