With Mercury retrograde in Aries, you may experience some communication breakdowns or delays in your personal and professional relationships. This retrograde could bring some challenges related to communication, travel, education, and spirituality. It’s a good time to review your plans and double-check all the details before taking action.

The hightlight of this month is a Solar Eclipse in Aries 19° happening on March 8th. The Aries Solar Eclipse in the 9th house can bring about a time of new beginnings and fresh starts in your spiritual or philosophical beliefs. This is a time when you may feel a strong desire to explore new ideas, cultures, or spiritual practices. You may also feel a sense of restlessness and a desire to break free from old patterns and ways of thinking. It’s important to be open-minded and embrace new perspectives during this time, but also to be mindful of any tendencies towards impulsivity or recklessness. This eclipse can be a powerful catalyst for personal growth and transformation if approached with intention and self-awareness.
Since this eclipse is conjunct Chiron, it can bring about a time of healing and transformation in your personal and spiritual life, prompting you to confront and overcome old wounds or traumas related to your beliefs, philosophies, and values. You may feel a strong desire to seek out new spiritual practices or explore alternative belief systems that resonate with your inner truth. This eclipse can also bring about a sense of renewal and rebirth, as you shed old patterns and embrace new opportunities for growth and expansion. However, it’s important to approach this process with patience, self-compassion, and a willingness to seek out the support and guidance of trusted mentors or spiritual advisors.
The famous Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus 21° on April 20th can bring about significant changes and opportunities in your career or public image. Taurus is known for its stability and practicality, while Jupiter represents expansion, growth, and good fortune, and Uranus is connected to innovation, change, and disruption. Together, they can create a potent force that can propel you towards success and recognition in your chosen field. However, it is important to exercise caution and prepare for unexpected changes and challenges that may arise as a result of this conjunction.

This full moon forms a tense connection with Pluto in Aquarius, bringing up intense emotions and challenges related to your family, home, and your sense of security. Pluto represents transformation, power, and intensity, and when it squares the Full Moon in your homes area, it can create tension and conflict. This energetical influence may bring up deep-seated fears, insecurities, and power struggles within your family or living situation.
