Mercury at 23 degrees
Aquarius squares Saturn in Scorpio at 2:14 am Tuesday.
Call this the Gloomy Gus aspect. The Mercury-Saturn square can make
you feel quite lonely and unwilling to communicate. However, if you
can force yourself to pick up the pen or the phone, your style is
very precise and scientific. You may have to guard against pessimism,
and the day does not favor making a good impression on new people. It
is a good day for holing up in your cubbyhole and getting a good deal
of detailed work done. Saturn is retrograde, which may simply mean
that you have to re-do a task that was not done correctly while
Mercury was retrograde.
The Sun at 23 degrees
Pisces trines Saturn in Scorpio at 5:16 pm Thursday.
Set goals, make grand five-year plans, and work out all the steps you
have to take to get from Point A to Point B. The Sun has separated
from that pie-in-the-sky conjunction to Neptune, so while you have a
bit of Neptunian air in your tires, the rose-colored glasses are
clearing up and you can, as the song goes, see clearly now. The fact
that Saturn is retrograde probably just means that a lesson or skill
needs to be learned, and learned right.
Mercury at 26 degrees
Aquarius trines Mars in Libra at 12:17 pm Friday.
NORMALLY-- Self-confidence and physical energy are high. Sports are
favored especially if they involve hand-eye coordination; examples
are passing a football or tossing darts. Exacting work goes well,
whether it is something like balancing the company books or working
on a hobby. Assertiveness is accented. You can speak up for yourself,
debate an issue, challenge someone, take on a dare, ask for a (ulp)
raise, defend your views, or make a sales presentation. You can
impress others with your confidence, or even with your chutzpah. BUT
Mars is retrograde now, so being rash or daring might get you in hot
water at this time.
NOTE: Daylight Saving
Time begins at 1 AM on Sunday, March 9. Set
your clocks ahead one hour, unless you like to be REALLY early for
everything.

ancient astronomy. The article on Pope Francis is here:

Readers
can follow not only their Sun sign horoscope but also their Ascendant
for further clues to how your week will develop. NOTE: some aspects
are exact on a weekend but may find opportunity for expression on the
Friday or Monday nearest the exact aspect. Times given are in Eastern
Standard or Eastern Daylight Savings Time depending on the season.
ARIES
- March 20-April 19 – You may feel the effects of your ruler
Mars having gone retrograde by now, and you are no doubt one unhappy
camper. However, you may find that you have to deal with health
issues that need to be addressed instead of taking your robust health
for granted. Juno's transit thru Aries for the next couple months
helps you tailor your marriage to the personalities of both partners;
as a result you will not feel like a close relationship cramps your
style, but gives you a way to share more of yourself.
TAURUS
- April 20-May 20 – With Jupiter having gone direct in your
solar third house, the house of commerce, you may be able to sell or
broker items that you had sitting around. You may even have to add
items to your inventory. Venus in your solar tenth house may bring
some perks of the job, if not a bonus. Moon in Leo mid-week makes you
prefer to cocoon or possibly host a party Wednesday. You may have to
take the kids to the dentist Friday.
GEMINI
- May 21-June 20 – The Moon is in Gemini for a few hours
Sunday morning. Sunday seems to be ideal for playing doubles tennis,
maybe there is snow on the court but at any rate your energy level
should be good. Ruler Mercury is in a compatible air sign this week
yet, so you are able to put across your ideas to a sympathetic
audience, although Tuesday is least favorable and Friday is most
favorable. Finances can take an upturn Saturday morning.
CANCER
- June 21-July 22 – The Moon is in Cancer from 9:33 am
Sunday till Tuesday night. Sunday night favors a outing to the
cinema. You are in a most optimistic mood Monday morn, and will
probably attract good luck. You could get pretty excitable, tho,
during the morning commute, so keep your wits about you. You can
successfully lay a guilt trip on someone you need to ask a favor of
Tuesday morning.
LEO
- July 23-Aug. 22 – The Moon is in Leo from 10:09 pm Tuesday
till Friday morning. Wednesday morning does not favor asking for
favors. A different way of looking at the world appeals to you
Wednesday night. Thursday is for keeping the nose to the grindstone.
Ceres going retrograde in your solar fourth house may mean having to
pay more attention to proper nutrition. An associate may invite you
use their private getaway for the weekend.
VIRGO
- Aug. 23-Sept. 22 – Now that ruler Mercury is direct, you
may have better success at putting across your views in the
workplace; Tuesday is least favorable and Friday is most favorable
for that. The Moon is in Virgo from 10:17 am Friday till next Sunday
night. Spend Saturday morning with boon companions. Midday Saturday
favors getting together with a mentor or older, wiser brother-in-law.
LIBRA
- Sept. 23-Oct. 22 – Ruler Venus is in a compatible air sign
the rest of the month; relationships with children are more
affectionate, and artistic pursuits can garner popular attention. Be
sure to put your creative efforts before the public. Ceres retrograde
in your solar second house may mean you have to make some adjustment
to bank accounts so that fewer fees are assessed, possibly switching
to a credit union.
SCORPIO
– Oct . 23-Nov. 21 – Co-ruler
Mars having gone retrograde in your twelfth house could mean that you
have to reconsider whether your new regimen is effective in getting
you to reach your goals, whether that is weight loss or improved
fitness or both. You can find some good tips on Lifescript.com.
Ceres is retrograde in Scorpio and before the end of the month will
re-enter Libra; your powers of recuperation may require time off from
work or intense therapy.
SAGITTARIUS
- Nov. 22-Dec. 21 – Your sense of optimism and generosity of
spirit are high Monday morning when ruler Jupiter is conjunct the
Moon in Cancer; you may surprise yourself with what comes out of your
mouth or your wallet. You may be a bit indulgent with employees
Saturday, perhaps treating them to brunch. Tuesday morning may be
your best day this week, with the Moon in compatible Leo and nice
trines boosting your ability to lead and inspire others.
CAPRICORN
- Dec. 22-Jan. 19 – You tend to really hate it when your
ruler Saturn is retrograde; you feel like the rules of the game have
all been changed and you have no rulebook to go by. You will just
have to set up your own schedules for work, payments, and procedures.
You will need to map out the baby steps toward your long-term goals.
I think it would be a good idea to consider setting aside an hour or
a morning a week when you will not be disturbed by phone calls, etc,
so you can push through with paperwork.
AQUARIUS
- Jan. 20-Feb. 17 – Saturn is your co-ruler so please read
Capricorn, too. On Sunday personal finances may flow easily, perhaps
too easily – right out of your wallet or hands, so stick to the
shopping list. The asteroid Juno enters your solar third house of
commerce this month; you may find a partnership helpful in handling
brokering or running an online shop. Friday is the best day for
anything from craft work to handling details to sports that demand
good hand-eye coordination.
PISCES
- Feb. 18-March 19 – The Moon is in compatible Cancer on
Sunday thru Tuesday. Your energy is good for dancing Sunday evening.
Tuesday morning is favorable for relationships in general and for
getting on with the boss in particular. A family talent for a craft
business or hobby may express itself Friday, and it might surprise
you to see how good you could be at it. Saturday is favorable for
relaxing with your mate and friends.
