An Explosive March 2018

Are there issues from last December around Christmas that are still lingering in your life? This is the month to deal with them head on.

Mercury and Venus will be holding hands while they both enter Aries’ door on March 7. Issues experienced around the last Winter Solstice in regards to love, relationships, money, and communication will be highlighted during this time, as these planets will make a disharmonious aspect to Saturn, the lord of karma. Difficulty in expressing how you truly feel will be challenging. Later in the month, Venus, will be in hard contact to Pluto, the planet of regeneration, while Mercury stations retrograde. The universe is giving you a chance to review all your relationships to make the changes accordingly. Unhealthy relationships will not make the cut!

A planet is at its most powerful when it stations prior to changing directions, especially the slower moving ones. Jupiter is currently slowing down and will station on March 8, and 9, before turning retrograde on March 10 at 24 Scorpio, and the Sabian symbol for the degree is: “AFTER HAVING HEARD AN INSPIRED INDIVIDUAL DELIVER HIS "SERMON ON THE MOUNT," CROWDS ARE RETURNING HOME”. The key note for this symbol is the need to incorporate inspiring experiences and teachings into everyday living. It’s one thing to share memes on social media, but applying it in real life is another. Jupiter retrograde gives you the opportunity to expand your spiritual beliefs into all realms of your every day existence.

Mars’ declination is climbing and will be officially out of bounds (greater than 23 degrees and 27 minutes of declination, either North or South.) on March 18 at 0 Capricorn, again triggering the Saturn ingress from December 21. You’ll experience a sense of urgency to address issues from that time if you have not appropriately dealt with it by now.

Mercury stations retrograde on March 23 at 17 Aries until April 16 at 5 Aries. Taking into account other planetary influences, this is also a period of reflection, a chance to re-organize your cabinets, clean out your closets and file your taxes.

The Sabian symbols for 17 Aries is “TWO PRIM SPINSTERS SITTING TOGETHER IN SILENCE” and 5 Aries is “A WHITE TRIANGLE IS SEEN; IT HAS GOLDEN WINGS”. This retrograde, while taking into account the planetary transits mentioned above, provides an excellent opportunity to really dive deeply into yourself and deal with long standing insecurities and other blocks that have kept you from realizing your full potential.
