Subject: New Moon ✨Mercury Grows a Spine ✨Your Daily Astrological Forecast 💫

Dear Stargazers,


This week brings a magical Pisces New Moon that can help you take your manifestation ability to a new level, and it also introduces a fiery spark in the cosmic energy when Mercury enters Aries for a 2-month visit.


There are several void moon periods this week, so if you have a number of important things to accomplish, be prepared to dance around them. On that note, Tuesday and Thursday promise to be productive days, but the energy on Friday and Saturday warns that you may have to tiptoe around certain people or situations.


As always, the details are below ⬇️

DAILY ASTROLOGY FORECAST
MARCH 4 - 10, 2024
March 4 -9 given in EST
March 10 given in EDT


Monday, March 4


If you feel fuzzy or anxious during the mid-morning, you can chalk it up to the influence of the transiting Sagittarius Moon's leisurely square with Neptune, which is the last aspect it makes before going void at 10:42 AM. However, once they officially part company (12 Noon), things come back into focus, and you'll feel better.


Still, given that the transiting Moon will be void until 4:17 PM, this isn't the best day for significant decisions and/or activities that require a definite outcome. Instead, use the day to get organized, engage in cut-and-dry activities, catch up on routine tasks and create to-do lists.


To that end, if you put some thought into it, the transiting Mercury-Uranus sextile can help you accomplish such tasks more quickly because this promotes innovative thinking.


Once the transiting Moon enters Capricorn at 4:17 PM, you will have a green light to tackle important matters. If you have been trying to settle an unresolved issue, the Mercury-Uranus sextile could inspire an out-of-the-box solution that works for everyone.


Tuesday, March 5


With the transiting Capricorn Moon emphasizing professional aspirations, public status and tangible achievements, this is an excellent day to step up to the plate and show the Universe (or your boss!) that you're ready to level up.


If you do, you can count on the favorable aspects from the transiting Capricorn Moon to Saturn (responsibility, authority), Jupiter (expansion, success) and the Sun (confidence, purpose) to support your efforts and help you shine.


If you are happy in your present position, this should still be a rewarding day, because these influence can help you enhance your reputation. For some of you, it may mean high praise from a boss or some type of public recognition for your expertise.


Wednesday, March 6


In order to make the most of today's energy, you should address any important or pressing issues before the Capricorn Moon goes void (2:37 PM - 7:40 PM).


If you do, a series of favorable aspects from the transiting Capricorn Moon to Uranus (inspiration), Mercury (communications) and Neptune (vision) before it goes void will help ensure a productive morning.


At 7:40 PM, the transiting Moon enters Aquarius and as it connects with Pluto, you could find yourself focused on what you need to control in order gain more independence in some area of your life.


Thursday, March 7


This is a good day to take care of tasks or projects that require determination, because your efforts will be supported by the fixed (stick-to-it) nature of the transiting Aquarius Moon.


Also, since camaraderie and teamwork are favored under this influence, if you need assistance with something, don't hesitate to ask a colleague for help.


On a different note, while this lunar influence could encourage you to organize a casual get-together with friends, the aloof side of this influence suggests that you could feel the need for some space and will prefer to keep to yourself today.


Friday, March 8


Today's Mercury-Neptune conjunction creates a powerful blend of mind and imagination that can cut two ways.


The higher expression of this influence is a visionary one that is highly favorable for creative, artistic or spiritual endeavors. In fact, consciously engaging in such activities is a good way to manifest the positive side of this energy. 


In contrast, the lower expression of this influence promotes thoughts that promote self-pity, anxiety and fear-based projection of worst-case scenarios. The best way to avoid experiencing this side of its influence is to engage in activities that promote its higher side (see above).


When it comes to business and financial matters, this influence isn't considered a positive one because Neptune's foggy nature tends to blur the mind (Mercury).


That said, no matter what is on your agenda today, be sure to wrap it up before the transiting Moon goes void at 1:57 PM, because it will remain that way until it enters Pisces at 8:05 PM.


Saturday, March 9


There's no getting around it. Today's square (challenge) between Mars (ego, anger, action) and Uranus (unpredictable, defiant, extreme) is an inflammatory energy that often coincides with angry words, narcissistic behavior and impulsive actions.


It doesn't take much to provoke this type of behavior, but the most common trigger is feeling that someone is trying to clip your wings.


And on that note, it's possible that some of you will being to feel way around midday as the tender transiting Pisces Moon conjuncts Saturn (limitation).


If so, it's important to keep the faith, because the transiting Moon's friendly encounter with Jupiter (optimism) a little while later could reveal a silver lining that will lift your spirits.


Additionally, since this planetary combination creates a sense of urgency, accidents are common because people tend to be in a rush and act, as well as react, without thinking. In extreme cases, this influence can coincide with fires and/or violence.


Fortunately, there are actions you can take to avoid such possibilities. If you are consciously aware of the influence, it will be easier to slow down, practice self-restraint and avoid situations that could put you in harm's way.


On a different note, participating in physical activities, such as running, dancing or exercise will help burn off nervous energy, as well as release any frustration that this influence might promote in your life.


At 11:03 PM, transiting Mercury enters Aries. Details below.


Sunday, March 10


The Pisces New Moon occurs at 5:02 AM EDT. Details below.


The transiting Moon is void from 3:47 PM - 8:20 PM EDT, at which time it enters Aries.


TRANSITING MERCURY IN ARIES

MARCH 9 - MAY 15, 2024
(Retrograde April 1 - 25)

Whenever Mercury is in Aries, he spends quite a bit of time thinking about himself, which is why most of the sentences that come out of his mouth during this time start with I, as in I am, I think, I want and I know.


And that's exactly what he is supposed to be doing, because this time around he's here to learn about self-advocacy.


Despite being a gifted communicator, Mercury often falls short when it comes to standing up for himself.


It's not because he lacks intelligence or finds himself at a loss for words. It's just that his indecisive and somewhat timid nature can be quick to back down in the face of strong opposition.


But that's not the case when he's in Aries.


When Mercury is in Aries, he grows a spine.


Whether you simply need to fine tune your self-advocacy skills or need to start from scratch, you can count on this cycle to help you do so.


That said, the process is going to take longer than you expect, because on April 1, Mercury stations retrograde and will spend the next few weeks retracing his steps.


During this time, Mercury will revisit, review and reinforce the Ram's lessons to ensure that by the time he goes direct on April 23, he is ready to stand up and be counted.


And if you follow his lead, you will be ready as well.


So where can you benefit from stronger self-advocacy in your life?

NEW MOON AT 20°17' PISCES

MARCH 10, 2024 • 5:02 AM EDT

Every new moon contains energetic seeds that have the potential to blossom as a new beginning somewhere in our lives, but when it occurs in Pisces, it comes with an extra dose of manifesting power.


Why? Because Pisces rules magic, miracles and mysticism.


And while that alone can be enough to help turn your dream into a reality, the manifestation potential of this month's new moon is enhanced by its close sextile (ease, opportunity) to Uranus (instantaneous and/or out-of-the-blue events) in Taurus (physical, tangible).


Although energetic remnants of yesterday's agitating Mars-Uranus square linger in this lunation chart, since the aspect has already separated, its influence is fading at the time of the new moon.


In contrast, the influence of the sextile (opportunity, ease) between Mercury (ideas, intentions) and Pluto (transformational change) is applying (building) during the new moon, which means it is supportive influence is growing at the time of the new moon.


Last but not least, with every planet moving in forward in direct motion (none are retrograde until Mercury breaks with the pack on April 1), the tempo of the overall cosmic energy is full-speed ahead for your new moon intentions.
