The sun meets with dreamy Neptune on Wednesday, March 10, at 7:00 PM: We’re connecting to something truly magical! There can be some clarity around illusions, or we may see our dreams come to life. This is a time to get real about your ideals or to let your beliefs guide you and your consciousness. There are more psychic, sensitive, vulnerable moments.
The new moon in Pisces comes on Saturday, March 13, at 5:21 AM. New moons are times of new beginnings, and this new moon is closely connected to Neptune, the planet of illusions. While this is an opportunity to connect to your intuition, it’s also useful to take this this to be aware of your biases and how they shape your reality. Everyone has them! Also on Saturday, Mercury clears its post-retrograde shadow, which means that Mercury has moved through all of the degrees that it was previously both direct and retrograde, clearing this path for the third and final time. This new moon will feel like a fresh start emotionally, spiritually, and intellectually.
One of the most stellar, romantic astrological aspects of the year comes on Saturday, March 13, when Venus meets with Neptune. This has been on the horizon since 2012 when the slow moving outer planet Neptune entered Pisces. This is incredibly whimsical—a fairytale romance! Venus is technically exalted in Pisces and as it connects with Neptune we want all of the fantasy. This is a time of tremendous idealism, inspiration, and creative transcendence.
All times ET.
