3/17 (Sun)

Sun Conjunct Neptune

A Sun-Neptune conjunction (27°21′ Pisces) empowers your spiritual awakening, unconditional love, and living more consistently “in the zone.” This aspect is also great for conscious dreaming and dream interpretation.

All this is even stronger with both planets in Pisces, the sign with the same energy as Neptune.

3/19 (Tue)

Spring Equinox / Sun Enters Aries

The Sun enters Aries at 11:06 pm EDT, marking the spring equinox.

With the Sun in Aries for the next month, you can take bolder action as a warrior, pioneer, sexual being, or entrepreneur. This is awesome “just do it” energy!

Spring Equinox Chart

Astrology charts for the equinoxes and solstices show key energies for that season. My interpretation is valid anywhere in the world, since I’m not discussing astrological houses.

Conjunctions

The Spring Equinox chart has lots of potent conjunctions!

I interpret the Sun-Neptune conjunction above on 3/17.

I interpret Venus conjunct Saturn below on 3/21.

A Triple Conjunction of Mercury, Chiron, and the North Node potently empowers learning and wisdom sharing aligned with life purpose. With everything in Aries, you’re encouraged to be bold and proactive with this!

Jupiter conjunct Uranus

This conjunction, which will be exact on 4/20, is by far the strongest factor in this spring equinox chart.

What follows are some shadow qualities between Jupiter and Uranus, followed by lots of positive qualities. These are drawn, with the author’s generous permission, from Renn Butler’s magnificent book, The Archetypal Universe: Astrological Patterns in Human Culture, Thought, Emotion and Dreams.

Shadow Qualities

• Manic and impulsive excesses
• Intolerance of any level of structure or commitment
• Unrealistic urges for freedom outweighing everything else
• Unwillingness to cooperate
• Unbridled eccentricity
• Unreliable and impractical nature
• Ongoing wanderlust and impatience
• Irresponsible or ineffective rebellion
• False breakthroughs
• Flash in the pan delusions
• Christ complex
• Cravings for glory
• Delusions of genius
• Self-righteous genius

Positive Potentials

• Dramatic breakthroughs and quantum leaps
• Rebirth and awakening
• Surprising resolution of problems
• Expanded horizons
• Changes of fortune or philosophy
• Incurable and infectious optimism
• Access to new layers or realms of experience
• The light at the end of the tunnel
• Eureka moment
• Feelings of universal redemption
• Everything around you coming vibrantly alive
• Freedom for all
• Maximum liberation
• Divine inspiration
• To “become as God”
• Flashes of greatness
• Ascendancy of the liberal, humanitarian and progressive impulses
• Surges of cultural flowering

I suggest that you focus on the positive potentials of Jupiter and Uranus!

Finally, a Kite with Venus, Ceres, Juno, Jupiter, and Saturn

This is the final significant astrological influence in the spring equinox chart.

Two relationship planets set the theme for this aspect pattern: Venus, ruler of relationships, and Juno, the asteroid goddess of committed partnership.

Grain goddess Ceres adds the themes of harvest and abundance, while Jupiter contributes expansion, good luck, and joy. Saturn brings it all down to earth, helping you establish an enduring structure to support your connection.

All of this won’t be true for every relationship. If a relationship isn’t best for you both, either because healing is needed or you two shouldn’t be partnered, these planets could create challenge.

In this case, Ceres could bring up old traumas. Saturn could create obstacles that bring the relevant difficulties front and center. And Jupiter could expand all this so you simply have to deal with it.

This is a fundamentally harmonious aspect pattern, so it will bring ease and flow where that’s appropriate. If you’re having a different relational experience, this could be a good time to examine what needs to be healed or released.

3/21 (Thu)

Venus Conjunct Saturn

Ready to get serious about your relationships, finances, and creativity? You’re supported by a Venus-Saturn conjunction (12°26′ Pisces).

In addition to being serious, Saturn may also reveal any structural weaknesses in these areas. If challenges arise, determine what needs to be repaired or released.

Be sure to supplement your physical activities with creative visualization. With Saturn in Pisces, you have extra juju for Law of Attraction work!

Finally, with Venus in Pisces, energetic blending with other beings and inspired creativity are amplified.

3/24 (Sun)

Venus Sextile Jupiter

You can harmoniously and energetically amplify your finances, creativity, and relationships with Venus sextile Jupiter (15°48′ Pisces-Taurus). Plus, Law of Attraction magic gets easier with Venus in visionary Pisces and Jupiter in grounded Taurus.

As with the 3/21 Venus-Saturn conjunction, Venus’ placement in Pisces supports inspired creativity and energetic blending with others.

3/25 (Mon)

Lunar Eclipse in Libra

A lunar eclipse illuminates the sky at 3 am EDT (5°7′ Libra). A lunar eclipse is a supercharged Full Moon whose effects last at least six months! Any Libra Full Moon is ideal for release or adjustment in relationships and creativity, as well as balance, harmony, and equality.

This is a penumbral eclipse visible in the Americas and much of Western Europe. But the Moon won’t be much dimmer than usual, and it might be hard to see much difference.

Aspects

This eclipse doesn’t gain much strength from its Moon-South Node conjunction, since they’re more than 10° apart. But it does get a boost from the Moon’s aspects to the three outer planets!

The Moon’s strongest connection is a super-tight 135° sesquare with Uranus. This encourages you to be your authentic self, follow your intuitive hits, and serve others with your favorite special talents. Uranus also shares Libra’s love of community and equality.

A sesquare is a minor hard aspect. So you might encounter some friction as you step into these Uranian activities.

A Moon-Pluto trine can make it easier for you to step into your power and attract prosperity. You can also enjoy greater flow in your transformational and healing work. (My free Healing Invocation has helped thousands heal old traumas with surprising ease and speed.)

A wide Moon-Neptune opposition is the loosest of the outer planet aspects. But it can still bump up your inspired creativity, help you stay more consistently in flow state, and support your spiritual practices.

(Speaking of spiritual practices, another of my free invocations, for embodied awakening, can help you quickly and easily merge your higher self with your personality. The life-transforming benefits of this are beyond description!)

Finally, the Moon sextiles Pallas Athena. This aspect can harmoniously energize your feminine assertiveness. It can also help your skills as a strategist, diplomat, and mediator.

Sabian Symbol

This lunar eclipse’s Sabian Symbol is, “A man watches his ideals taking concrete form before his inner vision.” So this lunation also supports your Law of Attraction manifestations!

3/27 (Wed)

Mars Semi-Square Chiron

Unhealed traumas could get triggered with Mars semi-square Chiron. Mars fires things up, and Chiron is the wounded healer. It’s a good time to have a quick and effective shadow work technique handy, such as my free Healing Invocation.

Fortunately, this aspect also energizes healing and mentoring, whether you’re giving or receiving. And Mars in Pisces can help you take smooth, intuitively guided action in flow state!

3/28 (Thu)

Mars Quintile Jupiter

Your actions can be magically inspired as Mars quintiles Jupiter (4°43′ Pisces-16°43′ Taurus). With Mars in Pisces, spiritual and creative activities get special support!
