Summary of Major Aspects of the Week

Wednesday March 4^th – The Moon in Cancer is sextileaspect(60 deg, helpful) to Uranus in Taurus, for intense efforts to secure personal health, and a square aspect (90 deg, harsh) to Chiron in Aries, as you should know rather intuitively how to proceed, to heal yourself and others. Quarantine is not a natural situation, and those who are asked to remain at home are subject to bouts of anxiety and nerves. Mercury retro in Aquarius is in a sextile aspect to Venus in Aries (both at 29 degrees of the respective signs), as a time of possible relaxation may be none-the-less distressful, especially if under duress. Saturn in Cap in a square aspect to Venus indicates restrictions, possibly imposed by authoritative figures, with varying ability to cope, as Venus in the 29^th degree feels vulnerable. The Moon in Cancer pulls away from Mars in Capricorn, into a self-protective mode. Anger may be projected outward as a result. Children naturally reach for adult approval in this time of personal growth and understanding as we comply with laws and regulations.

Thursday March 5^th – The Moon forms a trine aspect (120 deg, flowing) to the Sun early morning hours, and a trine aspect to Neptune a few hours later. After the pride we feel at overcoming a danger or facing a challenge, comes some discontent and a sense of loss. Feeling powerless is a natural reaction. Finding a way to express your feelings could help. Jupiter in an opposition aspect (180 deg, tense) to the Moon helps to universalize our experiences. The global shared suffering, with the stoicism shown by the Chinese example, we begin to relate as one world. Victories are announced in electoral contests, but much work remains. Venus ingress to Taurus shows the wish for ease and comfort following the stressful campaigns, whether a victory or loss. Later in the day, the opposition aspect (180 deg, tense) to Pluto from the Moon operates to oppress or to express in a symbolic universal way. Preparations for an epidemic are certainly indicated by the Moon’s opposition aspect to Pluto and later Saturn, as health concerns increase.

The Moon in a trine aspect to Mars in Capricorn follows later in the day, with emergency services implemented in nations in the eastern hemisphere.

Monday March 9^th – The Moon in Virgo is in opposition aspect (180 deg, polarizing) to the Sun/Neptune conjunction aspect in Pisces at the Full Moon phase.
