ASTROLOGY SOUND-BITE

Moon over Jupiter/Gemini in the past 24 hours argues with Mars/Cancer and Uranus/Taurus: spreading thinly works for a while - until the rips in the fabric begin to show. Attempts to keep the middle ground and everyone in the loop, needs agility and patience as Mercury retrogrades back through Pisces and loses focus (and possibly the thread). Maybe conserve time and energy until after the 17th when Mercury enters Aries again and Mars re-enters Leo direct.

Harmony Loving Venus Retrogrades Back into Pisces While Mercury declines to comment ...

Venus is retrograded back into Pisces today (with the Moon for next 2 days) and conjuncts Neptune while Mercury scurries behind and lands by Sunday. Some very emotional scenarios, leading to reconstructions like never before. Also some bad scams devolving from sentiment overload. Frayed ends and shredded reasons courtesy of Mercury until mid April : the data and the intelligence may not align with the instinct. What was right for then, may not be right for now

SPRING SOLSTICE

Welcoming the Spring Solstice … the Sun has entered Aries and is in orbs with retrograde Venus and in good aspect to Pluto/Aquarius. Strong stakes or claims made in time for a re-set in mid April, but the possible need to withdraw or re-position in May. 

Full Moon Virgo with Mercury retrograde on 14th .... withdrawals, lack of previous faith .. second thoughts and reversals.....

Mercury retrogrades in Aries on the 14th until 6th April, but goes back into Pisces on the 30th of this month. The turn arounds or delays from the 14th March are strongly validated by the Full Moon: scrupulous detail and scrutiny of fact - until the second week of April, when some plans and projects begin again. Venus is also retrograde in Aries. The last days of March see Mercury and Venus back into Pisces, where the uncertainty or lack of commitment can frustrate even the most patient of forward planners. Neptune leaving Pisces and in conjunction with Mercury at that time indicates sheer denial or rebuttal of prior promises. Neptune moves then to nought degrees Aries: hung juries, adjournments, inexplicable absences, lack of diligence and a flouting of previous agreement.

Renewed efforts at connectivity and going back to the drawing board by mid April to overwrite aborted plans courtesy of Mercury's ability to join the dots and the disconnections when in direct motion.

All this brings the much vaunted conjunction between Neptune and Saturn in Aries in June into stark relief …. The presence of strength at its most vulnerable. Historical precedents and front runners removed. Disappearance of safeguards or security measures. Replacement and replication without due notice.

Merely the tip of the potential iceberg in terms of this impactful never before seen conjunction

MARS/CANCER ON THE MOVE AGAIN ... dispersing the sluggishness ....

Sighs of relief as Mars is direct again in Cancer today (23rd) after almost two months in retrograde motion …. engines rev, blockages start to clear, flows reverse, tides turn … and the emotional scouring and purging begin to show benefits.

It’s been a long haul since Mars first entered the sign last September for a lengthy transit,ade , one which embraced Leo in both direct and retrograde motion in November and December.  It will finally enter Leo once more in April - surpassing the limits and blocks which hit a no-go in the second week of December.  

The personal triumphs of Mars/Cancer and Mars/Leo and the progression of matters heartfelt and collective are set on a more predictable or smoother course.

ASTROLOGY IN BRIEF

Moon moves from Scorpio today and briefly trines Neptune/Pisces: favouring the subtle and the stealthy .. or the silent observeations. Sun, Mercury and Saturn are also in PIsces: much to be said for going with the flow, and many are inclined that way; deeper currents getting active next week. And Moon/Aquarius on Tuesday-Wednesday reveal the surface disturbances. Moon/Pisces Thursday to Saturday reflecting and  harvesting any developments made these next two days.

despondency, lethargy - Mars/Cancer retrograde ... Nil Desperandum.

There is much despondency now - not just the time of the year, but the fact that Mars is retrograde; the engine won’t engage, or it stalls, or runs out of fuel. Not just that - the planet is stationary, but in Cancer, the most sensitive of vibes. The slightest thing seems to be a deterrent, or a repellent, or a rebuff. Effort is endless, often pointless … but the end is in sight. 23rd of this month Mars begins to move in direct motion.  The engines kick in again, the juices flow - and momentum increases, the pace picks up.

Meantime Mercury in Pisces advises a more introverted period, a long soak in nostalgia or a time to reflect and rewind; creativity takes a new direction, or a different pattern, or an in-depth dive into waters unfamiliar. Looking back is inevitable - Mars/Cancer and Mercury/Pisces. Living is for experience and experience is to learn from.

Nil Desperandum
