March has the potential to feel noticeably different between the first and the 31st, thanks to a retrograde of Mercury entirely in Pisces, the closing of the Eclipse Zone with the Virgo Full Moon on March 3, and the Sun finally entering Aries on March 20, several hours before Mercury stations direct.
The moment the Sun enters Aries for this year's March equinox, it comes into contact with three very interesting minor objects that speak pointedly to current world situations, our individual engagement with them, and how we navigate the balance between light and dark.
I had wonderful intentions of writing a post last week about this week’s busy astrology, what with the equinox and the Aries New Moon on the same day, and Pluto changing sign a couple days after that, and Mars finally leaving Gemini after about seven months… but life often reflects astrology on both macro and micro levels. In other words, I got too busy — preoccupied with the process of transitioning out of a job (amusingly apropos of Pluto leaving Capricorn) and preparing for a trip to a new sea (echoing Mars entering Cancer). Sometimes all you can do is just keep swimming, no matter what's going on in the skies!
