Astrology, Tarot and More

After last week's challenging Pluto connections, this week brings upbeat, social energies - and one of the best days of the year for love and romance.

This is the most challenging week of the month.  Pluto takes center stage, with a volatile Sun-Pluto square and Mars-Pluto opposition.  This screams power struggles.  Tap into the energy of the Balsamic Moon instead: clear old energy, and get ready to usher in abundance and prosperity on the New Moon in Taurus! 

All the planets are now direct! Mars and Mercury move into fire signs this week, adding to the high energy-vibes of this week.  It's a great week for creative writers! And, Tuesday is the best day for romance (Pacific to Eastern time). 

Mercury AND Venus come out of retrograde this week! Hallelujah!   But, the highlight of this week is a very healing Full Moon in Libra, opposite Chiron.  Heal those old romantic wounds,  Release self-limiting beliefs.   Work with rose quartz + tourmaline/black obsidian + selenite, to promote deep healing. 

Even with Mercury and Venus still in retrograde, this is a very powerful week.  Saturn and Mars both sextile Uranus, which supports career and business matters.  And the weekend brings a highly positive Sun-Jupiter sextile (great for about anything) and a passion-filled Venus-Mars trine! 

One of the biggest shifts of the year happens this week:  Neptune temporarily moves into Aries, on March 30.  This marks a huge energy shift that will stay with us for the next 14 years.  And as if that's not enough for one week, we're also heading into a Solar Eclipse on March 29! 

It's the last time in our lifetime that the Sun and Neptune connect in Pisces! And, it's happening this week.  Work on your vision board. Activate it on the Equinox (March 20).  And, considering how unsettled the world is these days, put "world peace" on your vision board?  xoxo 

If you follow world news, then you know the last week was very intense.  Astrologically speaking,  March 2025 is the beginning of some massive shifts that will come into full force in 2026.   This week, Mercury turns retrograde, and the eclipse season begins.  But, the big event of March - Neptune changing signs - is still to come! 

Venus is now retrograde, and Mercury is getting ready to turn retrograde on March 14.  If you need to get a new undertaking off the ground, do it this week!  Unless it's getting into a new relationship or proposing, in which case save it until April 12.  And...does your birthday fall between Feb. 27 - March 31? If yes, read this post! 

The week starts on a great note, with all the planets direct.  The New Moon in magical Pisces is a big highlight.  But, Venus turns retrograde on March 1, foreshadowing a very intense - and very interesting! - month we're about to experience. Stay tuned for my March forecast. 

Mars finally comes out of retrograde this week.  From a great date for communication-related matters and contracts to a fantastic stretch for spiritual pursuits and healing, this week has a lot to offer! 

This week starts off tense, but improves just in time for Valentine’s Day on Feb. 14.  Don’t miss the Full Moon in Leo on Feb. 12 - it’s the best Full Moon of the year to release blocks to romance.
