Mars is fully in his direct motion and traveling back through the later degrees of Cancer, kicking up where he left off back in December when he went retrograde. The Sun trines Mars this week, bridging the gap between brute force and gentle power. Fighting for dignity and the rights of all is how the Sun in Pisces utilizes Mars’ emotional grit, seeking empathy and understanding from dominating forces.
As the Sun travels through the second decan of Pisces, the mutable fish, it empties out the spiritual aquafers and leaves one empty with infinite potential. The second decan of Pisces refers to the 9 of Cups in the tarot, a card that depicts a person sitting with arms crossed in front of nine golden cups that sit in a row on a table. The person in the image represents one of the main purposes of life, which is emotional, spiritual and psychological satisfaction. Are you fulfilled in these areas of life or is there still something that you are seeking to fulfill?
When the Sun and Mars meet later in the week, the urge to actively seek peace at all costs stirs up a crowd. Change is inevitable but what is most important is how we are able to react to the change and integrate its wisdom so as to perpetuate the notion of contentment throughout the entirety of its cycle, that is true enlightenment.

Mercury ingresses into Aries, activating the mind’s strong sense of instinct and bodily intuition. The way that we think shifts from slow and gentle Taurus to rambunctious and brave Aries, pitting our hand-eye coordination to the test. We can easily zero in on our target and execute laser focus with the archetype of the warrior arresting the planet of the Mind.
Mercury continues traveling through the unequivocally bold sign for a couple of weeks, then stations retrograde on March 15th, beginning its backwards motion towards Pisces. Mercury will remain in Aries until March 30th when it ingresses back into Pisces a second time this year. Take this opportunity to manage all of your travel, projects and plans before Mercury stations retrograde so that when it comes up in a couple of weeks, you have all of your supplies, and resources available. This means gathering all of the information, backing up the phone, registering all of the things and finalizing your plans as best as you can before the 15th so that Mercury retrograde doesn’t sneak up on you and throw a wrench in your to-dos.

Monday 3rd
Before we can relax in any way, there is a pressing issue that comes up to the surface through Pluto’s square attention to the Moon. It’s nearly impossible to ignore small irritations when Mercury enters Aries and anything that gets in the way becomes target number one. The mind locks in and becomes more resolute and narrow while in Aries, offering unbridled focus and precision.

Tuesday 4th
A generally positive day that feels to be in flow and alignment with personal goals. The Moon in Taurus generates feelings of security and gentleness which aim to ease our needs when it comes to predictability and reliability. When the Moon meets with Uranus we can explore how a change in our comfort dynamics can break open new and unexpected results. It’s important to continually grow but that requires that we cozy up with the agency of discomfort once in a while.

Wednesday 5th
The moon ingressing into Gemini opens us up to a lighter energy that requests adaptability and communication. The day seems to flow with ease, especially if we can remain curious and open to spontaneity. Productive conversations happen throughout, along with easy task management and transportation. Mercury and Pluto align, opening up important conversations that offer deep wisdom and insight. It’s an excellent time to dig into topics that are typically left unsaid.

Thursday 6th
A surge of optimism and emotional abundance is in the air. This aspect amplifies feelings — whether joy, excitement or even overindulgence. It’s a great time for big-picture thinking, but be mindful of exaggeration. Emotional roadblocks or responsibilities may feel heavy as the Moon squares Saturn. This aspect can bring a sense of limitation or frustration, but it also encourages patience and resilience. If challenges arise, use them as stepping stones rather than obstacles.
Moon conjunct Jupiter, square Sun, sextile Chiron, square Saturn.
Friday 7th
A feeling of being at a crossroads may arise, with tension between where you are and where you're meant to be. Trust that challenges now are guiding you toward growth. The need to make a decision or to take specific actions comes into view today. Today’s cosmic energy brings a mix of mental fog, emotional intensity and a boost of personal drive, making it a day for navigating uncertainty while harnessing motivation. The saving grace of the day — this fiery alignment fuels confidence, action and motivation. It’s a great time for stepping into leadership, pursuing goals or channeling energy into something productive.
Moon square NN, square Neptune, Moon > Cancer at 8:28 pm, square Mercury, Sun trine Mars.
Saturday 8th
Today's cosmic currents bring a mix of passion, emotional intensity and grounding energy, with opportunities for both healing and empowerment. An opportunity to heal through a cathartic release unveils itself. Relationships, self-worth and comfort-seeking behaviors could bring moments of frustration or insecurity. Be mindful of reacting impulsively in love or finances. A stabilizing force between the Moon and Saturn ends the day and it’s a great time for reflection, setting intentions and strengthening personal boundaries.
Moon square Venus, conjunct Mars, trine Sun, square Chiron, trine Saturn.
Sunday 9th
The energy doses us with a blend of dreamy excitement with the Moon making contact with Uranus and Neptune today, just before entering Leo. Still coming off the first quarter square, the Moon is rolling us in an enchanting burrito of possibilities. Remain open to new ideas that may pop through and keep a pen and paper handy so that you can record all of the unusual, inspired thoughts that plant themselves into the psyche.
Moon sextile Uranus, trine NN, trine Neptune, Moon > Leo at 3:58 pm, opposite Pluto.
