March 2016 (Mars Out)

Week 14 (W14)

Moon (Capricorn) squares Sun (Aries) and fourth quarter begins.  The next week of cleaning out begins in earnest although some acquisitions can be had since sellers will tend to have an advantage over buyers.  Try to stick with practical purchases and the Moon will favor you.

Mercury conjoins Uranus and brings surprises and possibly powerful insights.  This is a great day for writers and communicators and similar creatives that work with words and messages.  However, transportation “surprises” (problems) can occur also.

Moon trines Jupiter (Virgo) and joins Pluto (Capricorn) in the latter part of the day (which tends to mostly feel benevolent if sometimes a bit too serious).

Vesta quadrinoviles the North Node (Karma, “Rahu” in Vedic astrology) and you can learn an important insight, lesson, or skill by examining your traditions (or the traditions…

March 2016 (Mars Out)

Week 14 (W14)

If you focus yourself, you can accomplish much today.  Obstacles and snags will be present, but it will worthwhile to pay attention to details and avoid any puffery that presents itself.  Stick to the facts, and complete everything before the Moon turns void (v/c) at 8:56 PM CDT.

Mercury Trine Saturn favors progress if you are a Fire or Air sign.  Earth / Water do better with this aspect in general, but Fire / Air have the advantage today.  Mercury quincunx Jupiter says puffery (“Salesmanship,” BS, etc.) is present; avoid it.  Venus opposite North Node (and conjunct South Node) tempts us to “take the easy way out.”  Do not do that.

2016-03-28 Calendar of Aspects

March 2016 (Mars Out)

Week 14 (W14)

Moon enters Sagittarius 1:47 AM CDT and remains active until it turns void when Moon squares Venus tomorrow night at 8:56 PM CDT.

[Click Image to Enlarge]

Venus Sextile Uranus is the most obvious influence of the day, and it say that we will receive surprises and possibly insights (maybe major change) involving finances, beauty, health, or something else similarly Venusian.  Outer planet aspect seem quiet EXCEPT that Ceres (diet, food, and more generally prosperity) perfects an opposition to Hygieia (health and healthcare).  For some people, maybe many people, some “surprise” may emerge that involves finances and healthcare.  (More likely than not this is an unanticipated expense rather than a refund.  But, who knows?)

2016-03-27 Calendar of Aspects

March 2016 (Mars Out)

Week 13 (W13)

Moon is void (v/c) all day in the sign of Scorpio.  Use this day as down time / post-processing from the powerful events of yesterday and the week that preceded it.

[Click Image to Enlarge]

Numerous higher order aspects are in play.  Mercury / Neptune tells us this could be a good day for writing photography, videography or other similar efforts.  Moon v/c tells us that a “do-over” may be needed, but the initial effort will be worthwhile.  Mercury Quadrinovile the North Node tells us you may receive an insight or learn an important skill for dealing with some kind of karma in the future.  Make notes about what you learn.  Sun is Binovile Pluto, and that confirms that insights can be had today.

Vesta Sesquiquadrate Hygeia gives us some sense of urgency about health and healthcare and “how…

2016-03-26 Calendar of Aspects

March 2016 (Mars Out)

Week 13 (W13)

As far as “getting things done” goes, Saturday is a powerhouse, the best day this week.  If you did not launch your new project yesterday, then launch it today and accomplish all you can today.  Set leisure activities aside for another day, and focus on accomplishing the most important tasks today, especially anything part of a larger project.

[Click Image to Enlarge]

Sun (Aries) trines Mars (Sagittarius), Venus (Pisces) sextiles Pluto (Capricorn), and the Moon has MOSTLY favorable aspects (two small glitches, one in the early morning hours and one shortly before 8 AM CDT; you can move past these and SHOULD do that).

Sun Quadrinovile Jupiter tells us we can have an important insight (which might come in a dream) or learn an important new skill today.  Pay attention, these insights / skills will matter more in the…

2016-03-25 Calendar of Aspects

March 2016 (Mars Out)

Week 13 (W13)

At 1:10 PM CDT the Moon moves into Scorpio, but you still may want to wait a few hours to put into action your plans from yesterday evening since the Moon is in the “too early to tell” period (also known as a “sign change boundary”).  You MIGHT can make “it” work (whatever “it” is), but the venture will be risky and require significant concentration to make “it” work.

[Click Image to Enlarge]

Venus (Pisces) opposes Jupiter (Virgo) and squares Saturn (Sagittarius) today, forming a mutable T-Square.  The T-Square will give you great energy, but mutable T’s are about finishing the tasks at hand (bring them to completion), cleaning up, and laying the groundwork to launch the next major endeavor.

Saturn stations retrograde today, and you may feel this (particularly if you work in the financial services industry or…

2016-03-24 Calendar of Aspects

March 2016 (Mars Out)

Week 13 (W13)

Thursday March 24th

Mercury trines Mars today, and you should accomplish all you can prior to Moon becoming void of course after its opposition to Uranus at 3:56 PM CDT.  The aspect (the opposition) can bring some very smart ideas, but you need to wait until you have more information, some time Friday afternoon (tomorrow), before you attempt to put those into action.  Take this “time off” to do as much research as you can and lay the foundation without making any major commitments to move forward.

[Click Image to Enlarge]

Mercury aspects pepper the day, and we find that transportation and communication come to the forefront.  Mercury Trine Mars brings spirited words, but violence can be avoided (and progress made) if you make the necessary attempt.

Mercury Quadrinovile Jupiter tells us that we can have an important insight…

2016-03-21 Calendar of Aspects

March 2016 (Mars Out)

Week 13 (W13)

Today is the “Ecclesiastical” beginning of Spring (used as part of the determination of when Easter occurs).  Moon is in Virgo all day and quite active.  Mercury enters Aries in the evening and is void (v/c) prior to that.  Communications and transportation problems may emerge during this window; do not buy a vehicle, computer, or phone during this time.

Moon becomes void only a few hours later, making it difficult to accomplish anything lasting today.  Stick to routine tasks and plans for action after the eclipse on Wednesday.

[Click Image to Enlarge]

Mercury makes higher order aspects on this day, so smart ideas will likely come to you including ideas about how to help those less fortunate than yourself.  If you do help others, do it during the void anonymously and without thought, hope, or expectation that you…

2016-03-20 Calendar of Aspects

March 2016 (Mars Out)

The Vernal Equinox was late yesterday for most of the United States but is today on the East Coast (EDT) and in EU / UK.

[Click Image to Enlarge]

Venus perfects a conjunction to Neptune today, but the day is mostly quiet.  Outer planet aspects consist of Pluto makiing high order (subtle) aspects to Pallas (ingenuity, particularly of a military kind) and Vesta (traditions).

2016-03-17 Calendar of Aspects

March 2016 (Mars Out)

Week 12 (W12)

[We are writing this entry in hindsight.]

[Click Image to Enlarge]

We note that the Moon is very busy today, perfecting seven aspects (not including higher order aspects such as quintiles and septiles).  The afternoon and evening has a series of lunar trines on this traditional Irish holiday (the date of St. Patrick’s death), and we expect the evening to go well for most people (except anyone who consumes too much in the way of mood altering substances and contributes to an accident or other harmful situation).

Mercury conjunct Chiron today tells us that we have communications and transportation related to health, education or both.  Much of today is about processing the earlier three days of the week.

2016-03-16 Calendar of Aspects

Jupiter Trine Pluto pefects today, the second of three in this period (with the first occurring last fall).

[Click Image to Enlarge]

We note that Mars is quintile the North Node (Karma), and you have an important insight that leads to important action to wash away some old Karma so that you can move forward with your life.  Mercury semisextile Uranus also contributes.  For most people, this is a “good day.”

Mars in quincunx Vesta today, so if you are determined to “do things the way you have always done them,” or allow someone who thinks like that to block your efforts, then you may lose your opportunity.  Therefore, Persist.

If you do persist, it will pay off.  Today has amazing opportunities available, and you may not see anything quite like this for another eight years.

2016-03-15 Calendar of Aspects

March 2016 (Mars Out)

Week 12 (W12)

After yesterday, today seems like a pause, the space between the notes that makes music.  But, three influential aspects perfect today, so do not expect too much rest for the weary.  And, today is the “Ides of March,” at least by the calendar.  (But, if we adjusted the calendar so that the Vernal Equinox began on March 1st, as was originally true with the Romans, then the Ides of March would occur on another day, probably about April 5th.)

[Click Image to Enlarge]

With Venus semisquare Uranus, we may feel an urgency to “seize” the moment and do something a bit kinky and unusual.  Chances are good that it will be a “stroke of genius” as well.  This aspect perfects 11:47 AM CDT.

Much earlier (and quite influential on March 14th as well), Mercury sextile Pluto perfects and tells…

2016-03-14 Calendar of Aspects

March 2016 (Mars Out)

Week 12 (W12)

We have written extensively about this day elsewhere concerning the amazing compendium of patterns that are present and just how important we believe March 14th (and March 15th) are as a turning point for many people.

[Click Image to Enlarge]

We will not duplicate our analysis of patterns here.  But, today is noteworthy for both (1) Venus Square Mars and (2) Mercury Square Saturn.  Venus square Mars days CAN be GREAT days for romance.  But, sometimes lovers fight on these days.  Sometimes both things are true!  If “it” is not about romance in your life, then you are in a position to scrutinize “how you get things done,” particularly in the arts and in spiritual matters.

Mercury Square Saturn is all about paying attention to details, especially in matters of transportation and communication.  It can also be about searching for…
