[1:56] Mars enters Pisces (Mar. 2, 6:16 am PST), until April 9. When action is filled with meaning and sensitivity, it brings healing.

[4:35] Moon Report! Virgo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse (Mar. 3, 3:38 am PST) at 12°53’ Virgo and Pisces. See if you can find similar threads from these past eclipses: Sep. 1, 2016, and Mar. 3, 2007. Let go of excessive criticism and judgmental tendencies.

[8:12] Lunar Phase Family Cycle (LPFC). This is the Full Moon (awareness point) in an LPFC that began on Sep. 2, 2024, with a New Moon at 11°4’ Virgo.

[10:34] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon periods. The Moon in Leo opposes Mars in Aquarius (Mar. 2, 4:27 am PST). It’s VOC for 7 minutes, then enters Virgo (4:34 am PST). Release difficult emotions through physical exercise.

[11:52] The Moon in Virgo trines Uranus in Taurus (Mar. 4, 6:53 am PST). It’s VOC for 4 hours, 3 minutes, then enters Libra (10:56 am PST). Adopt an “I can fix that!” attitude.

[12:48] The Moon in Libra squares Jupiter in Cancer (Mar. 5, 3:22 pm PST). It’s VOC for 1 day, 4 hours, 39 minutes, then enters Scorpio (Mar. 6, 8:01 pm PST). Address relational and communicative concerns with fairness and objectivity.

[14:39] The Sun trines Jupiter (Mar. 5, 9:14 am PST) at 15°8’ Pisces and Cancer. This is a genuinely supportive and feel-good transit. Great for tapping into your intuition, self-promotion, exploring creativity, luck and taking risks.

[17:11] It’s cazimi time! The Sun conjoins with Mercury (Mar. 7, 3:02 am PST) at 16°52’ Pisces, on the Sabian symbol 17 Pisces, An Easter Promenade.

[22:27] Venus enters Aries (Mar. 6, 2:46 am PST) and will be in this sign until Mar. 30, 2026. Venus knows exactly what she wants in Aries, a no-frills placement. In relationships, the thrill is in the chase.
