Summary of Major Aspects of the Week

Wednesday March 22^nd — The stellium in Aries continues, following the New Moon at 0 deg Aries, the Moon transits to conjunction aspects with Mercury, Chiron, and Jupiter, all in Aries. The Moon could then trigger new approaches to persistent problems, and more cautions considering similar situations. The wounded counsel, the elder statesman, has a more thought-out strategy. Known for benevolence, Jupiter in Aries is more self-serving in a conjunction aspect with Chiron, the strategies used may be justified with experience gained through past wounding, while semi-sextile aspect to Uranus in Taurus indicates rancor and may also be thought of provocative.

Complaints to supervisors are noted, although not very threatening. The Sun in Aries is semi-sextile aspect to Saturn in Pisces, possibly a minor complaint strikes deeply.

Sunday March 26^th — Mars in Cancer makes a quincunx aspect to Pluto in Aquarius, and an out-of –sign square aspect to Ceres retro in Virgo, with the potential to upset easy commerce, and standard health related activities. Cancer is square to Libra by sign, so the planet in the last degree of Virgo is within the close orb for the mundane chart. An example of this is found in the new initiatives for home care, for infant care and pregnancy care, that are contested. Mars in a harsh square aspect to Ceres retro drives more introspection. Critical comments are rejected. The Moon transits to sextile aspects with Mercury, Chiron, and Jupiter in Aries. Mars in Cancer is disposed of by the Moon in Gemini, implying that discussions concerning health issues, especially in relationship to pregnancies and childbirth, are of great concern, as evidenced by the talk that is aired in media.

The Moon transits to a square aspect with Neptune, with endless debates, and arguments.

The Moon in Gemini is sextile aspect to Jupiter in Aries, indicating that personal issues are of a primary concern.

Tuesday March 28^th — The Moon ingress to Cancer early today makes a conjunction aspect with Mars and trine aspect to Saturn in Pisces. The Moon and Mars in Cancer, disposed of by the Moon, deepen feeling of care for home and maternal instincts. The trine aspect to Saturn may indicate attempts to regulate personal freedom and deny choice. A lack of empathy characterizes limitations imposed, while intention may be to resurrect moral imperatives. The quincunx aspect to Pluto in Aquarius rejects personal emotions in favor of a universal appeal to a higher ideal. Uranus in Taurus is the dispositor of Pluto, rejecting universal law in order to advance financial goals.  Later in the day, the Moon makes the square aspect to the Sun in Aries, a crisis aspect, that challenging assumptions instilling necessity for inward change. The challenge is to listen deeply to the other side of the argument.
