Thursday, March 31^st:  The Moon transits industrious Capricorn all day.

The Moon sextiles Neptune, at 9:00 AM:  We feel open and creative this morning.  We can easily respond to changes in our schedule without a problem.  People are more sensitive and we are able to connect with others more easily this morning.

The Moon squares the Sun, at 10:17 AM:  We feel energized this mid-morning and try to focus on what we are supposed to be doing.  We could feel a bit scattered or a bit frustrated.  We may want to take charge and see if others are listening.

Mercury conjuncts Uranus, at 3:49 PM:  Since this energy has an overall affect on this day, and for the next couple of days, we need to keep our activities focused on projects and ideas that we are drawn to.  If you work in an environment that is rather harsh with strict rules, this could make you feel like you are suffocating.  If you can, do what you like, and keep your exit strategy handy.  This energy is also likely to make people a lot more edgy and nervous, and can generally make it difficult for all of us to get very restful sleep over the next two days.  Look for some relaxing ways to burn off the excess electrical energy that you are generating.  On the positive side, it is a beneficial time to brainstorm and be inventive.  Don’t just do things the same old way!

The Moon trines Jupiter, at 5:57 PM:  A recommended way to manifest this energy would be to enjoy some ethnic food, and watch a play or a movie that shows people overcoming their hardships and being successful.  Otherwise, lying on the couch will work just fine.

The Moon conjuncts Pluto, at 9:37 PM:  We are very emotionally sensitive this evening and are ready to get into our cocoons so that we feel all safe and warm.  Order dinner in and keep life simple.

All times are CDT

Wednesday, March 30^th:  The Moon begins the day void-of-course in multi-faceted Sagittarius; but she eventually enters linear Capricorn, at 12:45 PM, and is no longer void-of-course.

There are no major lunar aspects for the day.  There is one planetary aspect in the sky, but that may make us more introspective rather than active.  Focus on your personal agenda and you get a lot done.  The morning may contain more helter-skelter than you like.

Mercury squares Pluto, at 9:52 AM:  When the energy of these two planets combines we are much more aware of the subtle interactions between us and other people.  We want to know the real motivation behind the apparent agenda.  We feel rebellious and are not willing to keep our thoughts to ourselves.  Words have a lot of power when these two planets connect.  Say what you mean, and mean what you say.  You won’t be able to take them back, or apologize and make them go away.  But no matter, we want to get to the bottom of the situation.  We don’t mind digging into the dirt to get to the light.  The energy of this aspect remains strong for the next 2 to 3 days.

As the Moon enters Capricorn, at 12:45 PM, and is no longer void-of-course, we finally get a handle on the activities of the day.

There are no major lunar aspects, so keep your timetable flexible.

Tuesday, March 29^th:  The Moon travels through adventuresome Sagittarius all day.  She does turn void-of-course, at 8:55 PM.  This is going to be a busy and productive day.

The Moon trines Mercury, at 7:56 AM:  We get up early and try to get our morning organized.  Communications go well this morning.  This is a good time for any breakfast meetings.  We are able to make complex things seem simpler.

The Moon squares Jupiter, at 8:55 AM:  Our energy levels are very high at mid-morning.  We try to take in as much information as possible.  Be careful that you are not overwhelmed by some of the detail.

The Moon conjuncts Saturn, at 10:18 AM:  We have found our boundaries, and are ready to take a break in order to integrate some of the information we have been dealing with this morning.  Slow down, get centered, and get clear about your expectations about yourself.  Sometimes we can over-think situations when the Moon and Saturn are connected.  That just confuses us.  Follow your intuition and do what you were guided to do initially.

The Moon trines Uranus, at 5:02 PM:  At this time in the late afternoon, we take a much lighter approach to life.  Try to be done with your agenda so that you have rest of the evening off.

The Moon squares Venus, at 8:55 PM:  This is an enjoyable evening to indulge your physical and sensual senses.  It is a favorable night to be out with friends, or with that someone special.  Make sure you are doing something fun!

The Moon is now void-of-course in Sagittarius, at 8:55 PM; until Wednesday, at 12:45 PM (almost 16 hours), when she enters Capricorn.  Relax and enjoy the rest of your evening!

Mercury trines Saturn, at 10:02 PM:  These two planets have been in contact with each other for the last couple of days, and will continue to connect for the next 2 to 3 days.  We have been in a time of straightforward linear thinking.  With both Mercury and Saturn in fire signs, it is much easier for our thoughts to become actions.  Overall, this is a productive time to use for planning events; arranging vacations or weekend getaways; or getting your thoughts down on paper.  We create order in our lives by taking action on the things that need to be taken care of in our day-to-day life.

All times are CDT

Monday, March 28^th:  The Moon begins the day void-of-course in determined Scorpio, but quickly enters sunny Sagittarius, at 1:46 AM, and is no longer void-of-course.  We should have a more productive day than yesterday, but be careful not to over load your schedule.

The Moon conjuncts Mars, at 3:12 PM:  We could feel pushed, challenged, and/or defensive as we move into mid-afternoon.  This energy is excellent when facing a challenge or venturing into new territory.  People can be edgy, so if you see drama, turn right!

The Moon trines the Sun, at 7:11 PM:  We are in a much more relaxed mood throughout the evening.  It is a nice time to get out and break up those routines.  As the evening comes to a close, you will want to be home.

The Moon squares Neptune, at 10:50 PM:  This is the ideal aspect to sleep through.  We can easily escape through our dreams, or by enjoying a glass of wine and listening to some very peaceful music.  All of us will want to be in a place where we feel safe.

Sunday, March 27^th:  Happy Easter!  The Moon spends the entire day in Scorpio, the sign of trust and paranoia.  However, she does turn void-of-course in Scorpio, at 2:25 AM, and remains void-of-course for the rest of the day.  You may want to plan your more important activities for Monday or another weekday.

The Moon sextiles Pluto, at 12:20 AM:  If you are awake, this is a wonderful time to process old feelings and memories from a time with your family when you were younger.  Otherwise, the energy of this transit can enhance your sleep.

The Moon trines Venus, at 2:25 AM:  This is a very nice planetary energy to promote pleasant dreams and peaceful sleep.  If you are awake, it’s the perfect time for pie.

The Moon is now void-of-course in Scorpio, at 2:25 AM, until Monday morning, at 1:46 AM (almost 24 hours).  When the Moon is void-of-course, we tend to be motivated more by our internal agenda rather than other people’s expectations of us.  Satisfy your internal desires and this can be a great day!

Saturday, March 26^th:  The Moon continues to move through intensely focused Scorpio all day.

The Sun trines Mars, at 5:33 AM:  When these two planets make a connection, we are more in touch with the positive aspects of our ego.  We feel more confident about following our intuition and responding to our own needs without guilt or expectations.  With these two planets making contact for the next three or four days, this is an advantageous time to start new projects, get to the gym more often, or just have more fun!  On a more personal level, this is a superb time to promote yourself, your business, and to put some more energy into your romantic relationships.  This energy remains strong over the next three or four days, so make the best use of it.

Venus sextiles Pluto, at 6:10 AM:  Continuing with our series of positive transits for this week, and especially over the last three days; Venus, planet of love and money, takes the stage once again.  This can be a promising time for commitments in relationships, both business and personal.  We are able to balance our whole with our need for rationality.  This is also a productive time to review financial plans; clear up money problems from the past; and act on a desire to simplify your life.  We focus on improving our commitments and being clear about the ones that really benefit us.  The energy of this aspect also remains strong for the next three or four days.

The Moon trines Neptune, at 10:26 AM:  Our mid-morning should be flowing along very smoothly.  We are not in a hurry and we do not find any blocks to impair our progress.  Our frame of mind is more open today, and we look for people who bring a sense of calmness into our lives.

The Moon sextiles Jupiter, at 9:31 PM:  We feel much more lighthearted this evening.  It is a fun time to be with friends, family, or to just be by yourself watching a movie or chatting with people online.  This is an enjoyable evening for comfort food!

Friday, March 25^th:  Today is Good Friday.  The Moon starts the day void-of-course in Libra, but eventually enters intense Scorpio, at 1:09 PM, and is no longer void-of-course.  We start the day off moving more slowly and deliberately.  Each of us feels more introspective and we re-examine the things in our life that create financial and emotional security.

Saturn turns stationary retrograde, at 5:01 AM:  Saturn, planet of structure, responsibility and personal discipline, turns retrograde, and remains so, for the next four months.  All the outer planets, from Jupiter through Pluto, turn retrograde every year.  Currently, Jupiter is retrograde in Virgo, and Pluto will turn retrograde in Capricorn in mid-April.  Saturn retrograde allows us to focus on the things in our lives that need the most attention by helping to establish a sense of priority.  All of us will feel the pressure to make long-term decisions about where we spend our personal resources.  Some things, people, and plans will be important to us; and those that are not, will be eliminated by establishing a different set of boundaries.  Saturn always imagines the worst-case scenario, so she can feel safe when she moves forward.  Don’t let her over-thinking and fear-based analysis create panic, indecision, and ultimately make you feel paralyzed.  Get a plan and act on it.  If you do this, Saturn will make you feel much happier!  Saturn has a much stronger influence on all of us for the next month.

Venus opposes Jupiter, at 6:58 AM:  When these two planets combine, we experience our need for grand schemes, and our personal wants and desires.  We look to the areas of our life where we can grow and expand.  Relationships and investments are both favored when these two planets connect.  We are experiencing cautious optimism because of the influence of Saturn’s notion of risk management.  When these two planets combine, we will want to give greater structure and meaning to our personal relationships.  This can be a time when people get engaged and married.  The same sort of principle can be applied to business relationships as well.  The effects of this energy remains with us over the next 3 to 4 days.

Venus squares Saturn, at 11:48 AM:  And, only a mere five hours later, Venus, planet of love and desire, connects with Saturn, planet of limitations and struggle.  Our poor little Venus is very confused today.  This is part of the larger impact of the Jupiter squares Saturn that we experienced very strongly on Wednesday, the 23^rd.  When Venus and Saturn meet, we weigh the cost and benefits of relationships and the business pursuits we have ourselves invested in.  We are setting our boundaries, becoming better negotiators, and are less willing to compromise just to keep the peace.  We are cautious about our investments, whether they be for the heart or for the bank account.  If we cannot see the potential outcome of things clearly, we will not take action on them.  During this time, it is much easier to see the problems in our relationships.  You can best use this time of vision to make improvements to what you have, rather than complaining about your problems.  You are not powerless.

The Moon enters intense Scorpio, at 1:09 PM, and is no longer void-of-course.  And, now we remember we are not powerless!  In the latter part of the afternoon we will feel more productive as we integrate these larger themes into our life.

Thursday, March 24^th:  The Moon spends all day in Libra, the sign of the balancer.  Luna does turn void-of-course, at 3:55 PM.  There is a lot of positive energy in the air, and you should make the best use of it today; especially before the Moon turns void-of-course.

The Moon sextiles Saturn, at 9:33 AM:  We definitely feel the need to be productive and get our projects completed.  This is an enhanced time to organize any type of planning meetings or to work on a common agenda.  Personally, we may feel more like organizing our work space and getting our house in order.

The Moon squares Pluto, at 11:26 AM:  We are more than ready for lunch in the latter part of the morning.  Try to find some quiet time for yourself.  You will not be in the mood to want to manage other people’s feelings and emotions.  We are a bit more paranoid and people may read more into what you are saying than what you actually say.

The Moon opposes Uranus, at 3:55 PM:  And following the push from the earlier aspect, you should keep your afternoon simple.  This energy is valuable if you are really interested in what you are doing.  If you are not, then you are bored to death.  Whether you are at work, or with friends, try to focus on the activities that you enjoy.  Otherwise, take off work early and go do something you like.

The Moon is now void-of-course in Libra, at 3:55 PM, until she enters Scorpio, at 1:09 PM, Friday afternoon (over 21 hours).  Even with the void-of-course Moon, we should have a fairly strong positive energy throughout the evening.

Mercury trines Mars, at 5:45 PM:  With the energy of this aspect being in effect for the next three or four days, we are better able to combine our thoughts and actions so that we have a real concrete results.  This planetary combination is very favorable for starting a new marketing plan; a new health and fitness regime; reorganizing your office space; or starting on a book or a new blog.  Each of us will be more confident in our decisions.  Enjoy this positive energy!

Wednesday, March 23^rd:  The Moon starts the day void-of-course in Virgo, but quickly enters relationship-oriented Libra, at 12:23 AM.

Jupiter squares Saturn, at 5:15 AM:  This is one of the long-term planetary transits whose energy will be affecting us all year.  And, the effects of these two planets have been strong since 2015 and will continue to be strong through the end of November 2016.  Jupiter is our planet of growth, hope, and optimism about the future.  Saturn, on the other hand, is our planet that deals with “what could go wrong.”  It is the planet of planning for worst-case scenarios, and facing the truth in dealing with life events.  Traditionally, when these two planets combine their energy, there is a suppression of the economy, and people are more cautious and pessimistic about the outcome of their financial future.  Watch out that you are not caught up in the fear of “what might happen” and feel angry, powerless, and potentially paralyzed.  You may want to cut back where you can, but be reasonable.  In international terms, this aspect is part of this huge immigration issue that is creating global concerns.  We might see this become a bigger issue in the on-going presidential election.  Overall, do not be afraid to re-examine your view of the truth since you might be wrong!

The Moon opposes Mercury, at 6:11 AM:  Although our emotions and energy may be low as we start the day, we are ready to get on with our agenda and do something to make us feel more in control.  This is a great morning to brainstorm and to be open-minded.

The Moon opposes the Sun, at 7:01 AM:  This Full Moon is a Lunar Eclipse at 3-degrees Libra.  This is the “companion” eclipse to the Solar Eclipse that we experienced, on March 8^th, and is linked to the actions we took then.  We seek more balance and participation in all of our relationships.  This can also be a time where we may make decisions about bringing some partnerships to an end.  We are likely to be a bit more edgy during this Lunar Eclipse.  Take your time as you make your way to work this week.

The Moon sextiles Mars, at 11:33 AM:  We feel much stronger and confident in the latter part of the morning.  This is a much better time to start new projects or to focus on getting our task completed.  This is a beneficial time to reconnect with clients and establish a better business relationship.  This is also true about sharing your emotions with someone close to you.

The Sun conjuncts Mercury, at 3:11 PM:  With the energy of this aspect in play for the next couple of days, we communicate more clearly about what our plans are, and what we expect from ourselves and from other people.  Each of us feels more mentally stimulated and may need some distraction so we don’t get bored.  This is a desirable energy to use for writing, organizing, or hawking your products to your client base.  It is a fairly positive transit, so try not to waste its energy.

Tuesday, March 22^nd:  The Moon will be void-of-course in detail oriented Virgo for the entire day.  With the Moon void-of-course all day, this can be a very good day to focus on your own personal chores and routines.  Keep your projects small and reasonable and you should have a very productive day.

There are no major planetary aspects today.  Let your heart and intuition be your guide!
