Saturn (Responsible One) and Venus (Relational One) conjoin in Pisces to complete a cycle that started in mid-January. It's time to implement what have you learned in the last 3 months about how to be appropriately responsible to your values in relationships and with how best to spend your precious life energy.
Plus both Venus and Saturn are conjunct the North Node in Pisces catalyzing you to own your capacity to make the calls in your life. Chani recommends: "commit to the projects worthy of your energy. Say no to everything else."
Mars (Action-Taker) in Leo opposes Pluto (Transformer) in Aquarius challenging you to courageously show up in your sovereignty to embrace deep systemic changes that support all beings. Release the small-making pissed-off willful one of you that wants it your way so you can align with the larger evolutionary forces at play.
The New Moon in Taurus activates the current Mars-Pluto opposition cycle. Astrobutterfly says: "the New Moon signals a new beginning. The foundations of our life (Taurus) will be tested. The question is – are these foundations a real, authentic expression of who we truly are?" Because if not, then it’s time for change.

Remember that Neptune (Visionary) just left Pisces and entered Aries marking a new 14-year cycle of growth. Astrobutterfly says about this: "on a personal level, our focus will shift from seeking connection with something greater (Pisces) to a focus on selfhood – reshaping our identity, discovering our purpose, and stepping into a more active role in our lives."
Mercury (Storyteller) re-enters Aries (after its recent retrograde period in Pisces) and conjoins Neptune. Be open to any new inspirations, ideas and opportunities with communication that may be way-showers for new directions.
Mars (Advocate-Champion) re-enters Leo after its recent retrograde period in Cancer having challenged us to address and heal our aggressive emotional defense patterns. Now its time to honor our emotions in courageous ways and move forward with our creativity and self-respect.
Mars in Leo trines Neptune in Aries supporting you to express your unique creativity. Chani says: "let your musings take the lead. Flowing rather than forcing merges ease with success."
The Sun (Conscious Self) enters Taurus inviting you to slow down and smell the flowers and honor your sensuality, security and connection to Earth.
The Sun in Taurus squares Mars in Leo challenging you to ground excessive unconscious selfishness. Chani advises: "temper tantrums signal unmet needs. Ifyou find yourself fuming, investigate the ways that you’re at odds with yourself."

Mercury (Storyteller) goes direct in Pisces after 3 weeks of being retrograde. This Mercury retrograde cycle has invited you to shift your communication patterns to integrate self-assertion and deep compassion (Aries and Pisces).
Venus (Relational One) conjoins Saturn (Responsible One) in Pisces supporting you to recognize that you're ready to make more soul-aligned vows. Astrobutterfly reminds us with this cycles that "in order to build a better tomorrow, you need to make a commitment first. The commitment comes first – not the other way around."
Venus goes forward after 6 weeks of being retrograde in Aries and Pisces, supporting you to find balance between action and surrender, boldness and intuition. Move forward with the key changes you know you need to make in relationships, values and how you spend your life energy.
The Full Moon in Libra this week is powerfully connected to Chiron (Wounded Healer) in Aries, Mars (Warrior-ess) in Cancer and Jupiter (Wise One) in Gemini.

The Sun (Conscious Self) is conjunct Neptune (Dreamer) at the very end of Pisces inviting you to witness with love your visionary and escapist nature. The Sun enters Aries to mark Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. Attune with the potent energy of rebirth and the balance between light and darkness. Acknowledge what you've learned from the winter parts of you and nature's seasonal dance and find congruent ways to open to life returning. The Sun conjoins Venus (Relational One) in Aries. This is the halfway point in the forty-day Venus retrograde cycle. Witness the changes you've noticed since March 1st. What patterns in relationships, stewarding your resource (like money and time) and core values have shifted. What needs to be released? Plus remember that Mercury (Storyteller) just went retrograde in Aries so acknowledge any narratives in those areas that you've outgrown.
