So here we are, almost at the last degree of Pisces and the end of the zodiac. Maybe you’re champing at the bit and anxious to start some new project. Not so fast. Starting anything, aside from your washing machine is inadvisable right now. Wait ’til Friday 3/20 – The Vernal Equinox – and The Sun will have entered Aries. Case in point, the Iraq war was started when the Sun was at the last degree of Pisces…and we know that went just swimmingly. Tonight there’s a Mercury / Saturn opposition, while the Moon conjoins Pluto. This is not the most cheerful of moods. Again, hang in there. Change is coming.

AstroLogic 3/17/09 Happy St. Patricks Day!


In the absence of major aspects today, enjoy this video of The Pogues performing “If I Should Fall From Grace With God”. And remember Capricorns – take care of your teeth!

AstroLogic March Madness 2009

“March comes in like a lion – out like a lamb”, “Beware the ides of March”, “Madder than a March hare”. Yeah, that about sums it up for the third month of the year. I don’t know about you, but March always seems to be a volatile month for me. Maybe it’s Pluto stationing retrograde in mid to late March (or early April) for the last few years, or maybe it’s the shift in consciousness from Pisces to Aries. Whatever the case, here’s our monthly Solar Astrology outlook for all 12 signs. If you know your ascendant, you may read that as well. As you know, Solar, or “Sun sign” Astrology is only a glimpse of what’s happening in your life and where your focus is. True astrological insight is gained by studying your entire chart - and the transits and progressions you’re experiencing. That said, here we go:

  • Aries – Old partners are popping back into your life. Doesn’t mean you have to go there, but maybe there’s something you can learn from looking back. From the 22nd on, be careful not to self destruct, and watch your back. You aren’t ready to act on your plans until April 22nd. If you buy clothes this month, make sure the store has a good return policy. Think about changing your look, but don’t do it yet. Strange dreams may provide insight.
  • Taurus – You may be preoccupied with your career goals this year, but some Taureans (not you of course) are going to be taken in by a sneaky love affair now. With your ruling planet, Venus, going retro in your solar 12th? Fuggedaboutit. Stick to work and hang in there ’til May for the fun stuff.
  • Gemini – Catch up with old friends, and keep writing that book. No book? Maybe some travel then. The Full Moon on the 10th will magnify some of the themes you’ve been living out for the past several months. Juggling home and career. Private life vs public. But hey, who’s better at handling the juggling act? Career surprises (breaks?) around the 20th-23rd. Avoid scandal.
  • Cancer - A surprise message from afar..maybe around the 22nd. Or maybe it’s God calling. Choose enlightenment over negativity.
  • Leo - Sit down with your partner (or alone) and put the checkbook, credit cards, and all the bills on the table. Be proactive about finances or there could be a rude awakening, especially around the 10th. Personal conflicts should subside after the 22nd.
  • Virgo – Everything you’ve been going through over the last 6 months comes to a head, especially around the 10th. Make sure the meds haven’t expired, if you catch my drift. You may feel like you’re playing defense after the 22nd. Focus on staying productive and the next 7 months will be less gut wrenching. By the way, I know this guy who makes awesome tinctures and essences – great for whatever ails ya.
  • Libra- The cliche about Libra is that you’re indecisive and vacillating (or is that redundant?…hmm, not sure…what do you think…I dunno, maybe). Well, right now you’re thinking twice about the one you’re with. Or maybe you’re thinking about someone from the past, and all the what if’s? (or wtf’s). With your ruling planet retro in your Solar 7th, this is NOT the time to decide on matters of the heart. Wait ’til mid May or so.
  • Scorpio – Your main focus should still be home (feathering the nest) and family matters, but there is a chance to act on your creative impulse this month. Focus on your heart center, and act accordingly.
  • Sagittarius - The pressure will let up eventually, just not this month. The 10th is stressful on both the work and home front. You’re not only burning the candle at both ends – you are the friggin candle. Your home is your sanctuary so put some of your restless energy into improving the feng shui. Check for leaky water and gas pipes.
  • Capricorn – Whether you’re studying hard or dealing with an ongoing legal matter, things reach a critical juncture on the 10th. Important communication may alter your plans. Watch what you say. It can and will be used against you (or for you?).
  • Aquarius - Wasn’t it Ophelia’s old man who said: “Neither a borrower nor a lender be” ? Either you’ve learned that lesson or you’re going to. Lock up the credit cards- especially after the 22nd, when impulse spending is a bad idea. Try not to rely too much on your partner’s cash flow. Regardless, you seem to have divine protection when it comes to money (and just wait ’til 2010).
  • Pisces – Special message to Rihanna – dump the bastard! Why the #$%* do Pisces women take such abuse?!? Please get therapy. For many Pisceans MAJOR relationship issues coming to a climax on the 10th or thereabouts. All you nice fish out there…you’re about to feel renewed, especially after the 22nd. To further digress re: Rihanna: No – C.B. -a double Taurus- will not change. And besides, his Saturn and Neptune square your Venus. OK, so his North Node is conjunct your Sun. Destiny – shmestiny. Venus retro on your natal Venus may get ya’ll back together, but not for long. Have your people call mine, k?

Thanks for reading and blessings to all.
