March heralds the coming of the spring equinox for those of us here in the Northern Hemisphere; while people south of the equator experience the fall equinox. Depending on where you live, you may still be experiencing some snow flurries, but hooray, you have gotten through most of the winter months and you’re anxious for the warmer weather to arrive. You may want to perform a ritual to celebrate the arrival of spring. Get some seedlings started so they will be ready to plant in the next month or two and let them take root. As excited as you are about the arrival of spring and feeling the urge to get going, you may experience some delays this month as its the first Mercury Retrograde of 2019. The other major news is that Uranus has finally finished retrograding back into Aries and it is fully into Taurus now. Uranus will be in Taurus for approximately the next seven years.
My apologies for saying in the February Cosmic Daily Weather that Venus would be in Capricorn for seven weeks. I have no idea what transit I was experiencing when I wrote that! Venus, stays in a sign approximately 23-28 days, depending on what sign she’s in and longer if Retrograde. Now, that I’ve got that straight, (see embarrassed flush,) Venus zips through Aquarius, and then enters Pisces at the end of March. Venus in Aquarius enjoys relationships with individuals that others may view as eccentric. She enjoys socializing with a wide group of friends who are interested in different subjects and who like to think outside of the box. So, while Venus is in Aquarius, go mingle with others and keep an open mind, you could meet some interesting people and learn something new in the process. Venus in Pisces is a more romantic, idealistic Venus. She also has a sensitive, creative side and can be intuitive. While Venus is in Pisces you may feel more romantic, just be sure not to have unreasonable expectations that no one can live up to, as no one is perfect.
The Moon takes about 28 days to complete her orbit through the twelve signs, approximately two and a half days in each sign. When we say the Moon is Void-of-Course, (VoC,) it means the Moon makes no more major aspects to other planets until it leaves the sign it’s in. At these times, it can be difficult to get focused and accomplish tasks; you may want to relax, meditate or do something where your focus is directed inward. Don’t try to get a big project off the ground when the moon is void. If you want to find out more about the void of course moon, check out moontracks.com.
