STARGAZING – YOUR WEEKLY FORECAST
Week of March 19th – March 25th, 2012
WEEKLY UPDATE
New Moon in Aries – Happy Spring
The New Moon on Thursday comes in at 2 degrees Aries. This marks the greatest time of the Astrological year. During spring, the focus is on “planting seeds” for the things you want to grow this coming season. The Wednesday Spring Equinox is special because it is a day when night and day are equal. This emphasis on balance indicates what is present or lacking in your personal life. This year 2012, is unique because the Sun connects to Uranus as well as Mercury retrograde. This connection brings a Stargazing signal that although the urge to break with the past and bring in the new is incredibly strong, the best thing to do is cool your heals. Wait until mid-April, after Mercury and Mars go direct.
The Aries Moon on Thursday rises and sets with the Sun. Every New Moon marks an emotional low tide in the lunar cycle, and this is usually a time of peace and tranquility. However, this one – conjoining with Uranus, Mercury, while opposing Mars, brings a difficult aspect that could mirror reckless behavior and even some violent conflicts. Although a New Moon usually is the time for new beginnings, with this one and the dangers that Uranus, Mercury and Mars influence, it is best to wait until April before starting anything new. Also be careful on the road and watch out for other drivers. This next too weeks may be a time when excessive fires break out, as well as a rise in crime.
Every New Moon is an opportunity to set wheels in motion. The union of the Sun and Moon is a moment when seeds are planted and a fresh cycle of growth begins. Although we can be preoccupied with our dreams now, we must also make a sincere effort to make them come true.
The first moment of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and fall below the equator, marks a return to the beginning of the zodiac, and a New Yearly Cycle begins in the rambunctious, fiery sign Aries. We’re warming up with excitement and feeling the urge for new experiences. Revolutionary Uranus’ conjunction with the Sun incites restlessness as well as rebelliousness. The challenge is to use this shock-wave of energy to free ourselves and create a more exciting tomorrow instead of battling against the demons of the past. It’s risky to be a pioneer, but innovation is the key to a better future for us all. Something’s coming! We need to expect the unexpected.
Although we may feel confident that we know the truth, our certainty wanes throughout the week. The transiting Moon convinces us that our thoughts are based on facts, but our perceptions aren’t as accurate as we think, with Mercury retrograde. The Moon’s conjunction with intuitive Neptune enables us to receive useful information from the realms of our spiritual guides.
