Astrological Forecast for March 2019

March reminds us that spring is almost here. This month has lots of astrological energies at play especially for the sign of Pisces.

We start off the first day of March with Venus entering the independent sign of Aquarius. Aquarius is a sign that deals so well with groups and friendships, but their romantic life is not always as stable as it could be. With Venus moving into Aquarius from March 1^st to March 26^th, the opportunity for romance increases. Also, the joy of technology used at work or for personal business. New friendships and social life in increased as Venus makes the sign that it’s in more charming.

Mercury turns retrograde on March 5^th at 29 degrees of Pisces setting the stage for some very deep insights for those with Sun, Moon or rising in Pisces. Why? Because we already have Neptune in Pisces at 16 degrees and Mercury turning retrograde is the first planet to turn retrograde in 2019.

The new Moon in Pisces on March 6^th, just a day after Mercury turns retrograde on the 5^th, is enough to let the fish know that a new beginning is at hand for them. Mercury allows deep reflection and the new Moon at 15 degrees is at a midpoint, the houses, signs and planets move no more than 30 degrees, so the midpoint is 15. This is when you make the choices to move forward.

The question is how do you move forward if your thoughts are now moving inward? It is a balancing act that the mutable signs of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius will be working on till Mercury turns direct on March 28^th at 16 degrees of Pisces. Mercury will remain in Pisces till April 17^th.

Pisces at their best are the inspirational visionaries of the Zodiac. They know how to visualize their dreams. But, one fish swims with the current and the other against it. If you have Sun, Moon or rising in Pisces or other planets in Pisces, look to the issues of the houses Pisces rules and see what areas of life you want to improve on. The wind is more at their back with the new Moon being at 15 degrees.

Then there is the dreamer that just dreams and collects dust and goes nowhere. Pisces is the great magician that creates illusions and daydreams their life away if they allow their addictive tendencies to take over their life.

There is nothing more inspirational when Pisces is successful but when they become too sensitive and want to escape through addictions, they can be the most pitiful sign of the Zodiac. The poor, poor pitiful ME’s come out. This new Moon has Neptune, Moon and Sun all conjunct so the sensitivity will be very high. Easily hurt are the water signs and Pisces are the most sensitive out of the three water signs.

Take this time to move forward with practical and healthy habits that create the finest inspirational light of unconditional love. Think of James Taylor, Bon Jovi, the late Jerry Lewis and George Harrison as compassionate souls born under the sign of Pisces that help those who are struggling with their lives.

Uranus moves into Taurus on March 6^th for a 7-year stay. Uranus can create a new revolution in the financial market of extreme ups and downs as we have seen over the last couple of years as Uranus tries to become compatible in a sign that it’s not compatible with. Uranus is in its fall in Taurus.

Uranus rules the higher octave of Mercury and Taurus rules the Earth. What kind of higher thoughts and technologies will Uranus bring to Earth? Could this be the time of higher frequencies many spiritual seekers have been waiting for? The Earth will be transformed over the next 7 years into light frequencies that rotate at lightening speed. This can cause all kinds of erratic weather patterns such as earthquakes and solar flares from the Sun.

Uranus represents the younger generation and we see the older model of politics and religion starting to fall apart or be challenged. Uranus wants a different more independent voice. Nancy Pelosi will have Uranus right on top of her natal Saturn on March 6^th for the last exact conjunction in a cycle of three conjunctions. Let’s see what happens to the Democratic Party house leader from March 6 till the end of April 2019. She may be challenged by her own party or come down with a health issue that does not allow her to continue as house speaker and a younger face takes her place.

For those living out in the ocean or in the ring of fire, they should move inland and avoid the Earth changes that will be manifesting over the next 7 years. The ancient civilizations of Lemuria and Atlantis could rise from the ocean floors if the Earth pushes them upwards from massive earthquakes. UFO contact could also be a possibility with Uranus in Taurus and a major interest turns to UFO information that has not been released by the government.

Daylight Savings starts March 10^th at 2AM EST. Set the clock forward one hour before going to bed.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day March 17^th. It marks 10 years that my wife Patti passed away from breast cancer. She will always be missed by so many people.

Sun enters Aries on March 20^th at 5:58PM EDT and starts the Spring Equinox. Happy spring to everyone. Happy Birthday to the sign of Aries.

We also have a full Moon on March 20^th at 9:43PM EDT in the sign of Libra at zero degrees. If you have Sun, Moon or rising in Libra in the first 8 degrees, then this full Moon is bringing completions to some of your artistic projects and some conclusions about relationships.

This could be the time to be engaged or married or maybe a deeper bond with a significant other. Libra rules the house of one to one partnership of all kinds and marriage. Libra is a sociable sign and enjoys going out into the world if they can make up their mind where they want to go. This is a characteristic of Libra driving themselves and everyone else crazy when it comes to making choices. Wherever they go, they create beauty and balance.

Mercury turns direct on March 28^th at 16 degrees of Pisces helping to wake the sleeping giant up to move back into the real world by April 17^th. The deep meditations and visions of what Pisces wants to accomplish are now crystal clear.

Mars moves into Gemini on March 31^st closing off a manifestation period for money in the stock market that started on Valentine’s Day when Mars moved into Taurus. On the last day of March, it moves into Gemini where an already active mind is more active till May 19^th. Gemini’s are known to have active intellects. Breath deeply to offset the noise and stress created from too many thoughts or an overworked mind.

Wishing everyone a wonderful March filled with dreams that can come true, more daylight and warmer weather returning.
