The information in this column is limited. It does not replace your
seeing your astrologer. If you know the sign of your Moon and your Ascending
sign, read those sections also. This information is helpful because
it mentions planets passing through your sign. These do bring opportunities.
Special note: The emphasis this month is on the signs Gemini, Cancer,
Leo, and Virgo. The Sun in weeks 1, 2, and 3, and Venus in weeks 1 and
most of 2 are in the sign Cancer. This makes us effective and happy
in our homes. The Sun in week 4 and Venus in weeks 2, 3, and 4 are in
the Sign, Leo. This makes us playful and powerful, like cats, who are
playful and who certainly have a lot of rules. Mercury is now direct
and running smoothly and will spend time in three signs. In week 1,
Mercury will be clever in Gemini. In weeks 2 and 3, Mercury will be
domestic in Cancer. And in week 4, Mercury will join The Sun and Venus
in Leo and this makes us even more aware of power and play. Mars is
in the work and service sign, Virgo and that is what we will be urged
to do. The presence of Mars near Saturn earlier in the month makes that
work difficult. The motion of Mars toward a trine with Jupiter and an
opposition with Uranus can bring some unexpected trouble with a built
in solution. Except for week 4, one planet or another will be opposing
Jupiter in Capricorn. We’ll be doing a lot of judging but a trine of
those Cancer planets to Uranus will give us inspiration. Later in the
month, Venus will oppose Neptune and this increases romance and love
schemes. What would Lucy and Ethel do? Pluto is back in very late Sagittarius
until mid November. This reemphasizes our awareness of extreme ideologies.
New Moon in Cancer on the 2nd and 3rd is a fine time to make a fresh
start in our emotional and domestic lives. Full Moon in Capricorn on
the 16th, 17th and morning of the 18th brings goals to fruition.
Extra special note: I’m recommending that people read Covey, Dyer,
and Chopra during their birth month. They write about achieving success
and happiness and this is what the Sun is about in our charts. During
the birth month we have the opportunity to start a new cycle of success
and these authors have great ideas on how to do it. For those who want
to get in on the ground floor of understanding existence and self-improvement,
C.C. Zain’s Church of Light books will make you an astrologer and a
metaphysician. These books teach us that there is a supernatural dimension
in and around us that makes life subtle and interesting. And that Astrology
gives us helpful information in innumerable situations. And finally,
that we have the power to change our lives.
Aries:
March 21 to April 20.
Squares from planets in Cancer, except for week 4, and a square from
Jupiter mean that balance needs to be achieved between family matters,
career matters, and your spontaneous activities. Honor all three and
you’ll be fine. Trines from planets in Leo, except in weeks 1 and 2,
are giving you extra pizzazz and creativity. Moon in your sign on the
