Thursday, March 11

A 90-degree alignment of Venus to Pluto may put a damper on financial or relationship matters. Give loved ones plenty of freedom and space. Major purchases or investments are off-limits. The moon enters Aquarius at 12:42 a.m., urging you to be more altruistic. Focus your energies on environmental or humanitarian interests.

Friday, March 12

An Aquarius moon inspires a restless mood. Change your routine and do something different. Join a group, embark on a new adventure. If you have been facing a dilemma, this is a day to brainstorm and collaborate with others. You can gain new awareness and key insights. Gather with friends and go for the good times tonight.

Saturday, March 13

A lunar alignment to Neptune at 7:57 a.m. can make for a slow start to this day. At this time the Aquarius moon becomes inactive. Don’t take on big work projects, especially if they are tedious and detail-oriented. Instead, clean out, and finish old business. A Pisces moon arrives at 1:43 p.m., beginning the final phase of this month’s new moon. Plan a quiet evening. Watch films or videos, listen to music. Mellow out and get extra rest.

Sunday, March 14

The moon continues active travel in Pisces, and the sun conjoins Mercury. This combination inspires new ideas, schemes and plans. It may, however, be difficult to separate the facts from the wishful thinking. Therefore, do not take action for a few days. On the other hand, creative projects, especially writing, will take shape easily. Spend time alone. Renew your spirit through time spent in meditation, art or nature. 

Monday, March 15

This day has its ups and downs. The dark side of a new moon is in full force and effect. An alignment of Mercury-Uranus, however, impacts this new moon. It can have an unsettling, disruptive effect or be stimulating and exciting. Be more open-minded and adaptable. The new moon culminates at 5:01 p.m., when the sun and moon arrive at 25 degrees of Pisces. Mercury conjoins Uranus at 5:41 p.m., and the moon conjoins Mercury and Uranus until 8:01 p.m., when it becomes inactive.

Gear up for a hectic day. Slow down and drive defensively. A fiery Aries moon arrives at 2:32 a.m., and interacts with Saturn at 5:55 a.m. and Pluto at 12:54 p.m. An applying alignment of the sun to Uranus takes over in the afternoon and evening. It generates a restless, impatient mood. Don’t take risks or jump to conclusions. Physical-spiritual activities like yoga, tai chi and dance can help you to relax and unwind.

Wednesday, March 17

An Aries moon sets a fast pace today. If you organize your time and stick to your plan, you can be most productive. Mercury moves into the sign Aries at 12:12 p.m., remaining there until April 2. A harmonious alignment of Mercury to Mars boosts confidence and aids mental alertness and efficiency. This influence passes over in the evening, and a polarity of Mercury to Saturn takes over. Don’t get caught up in bad habits. Avoid bickering with loved ones.
