This Week, March 1, Mercury, Venus, Uranus and Pluto

March starts off with Mercury entering Pisces, joining, Sun, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus. Now that is a lot of Pisces. Now Pisces can be the Samaritan at the well or the junkie on the street corner. Jonah was swallowed by the whale (Pisces) and after a time was coughed up a purified man. Pisces is the last sign of the Zodiac, the end of the line, the end of winter before the burst of new energy that signifies spring. This is a period of high sensitivity, great intuition, and altruistic behavior. Things can also be vague, inconsistent and foster a victim mentality. Pisces brings out our longing for spiritual experiences. Pisces will have no truck with the material values of this world. The Sun here shines the light on all things Pisces. Venus operates well here and encourages the soul mate bond. Jupiter, co-ruler of Pisces, is like a spiritual advisor coming to town. Uranus encourages the freedom to follow one’s own vision. Mercury here promotes intuitive thinking, on the down side, illusion. Those who have a spiritual practice in place, like yoga, do well under the Pisces influence. Those who are overly attached to the material often run into problems with the Piscean ideals. Venus joins forces with Uranus on Wednesday evening, March 3rd. Venus rules love, art, money and diplomacy. Uranus rules the innovative, the unexpected, the freedom fighter and the individualist. When two planets are together in the sky like Uranus and Venus will be they combine their energies generating more power. It will be interesting to watch the world markets, the political scene and the love lives and relationships of the rich and famous and the not so rich and famous. With Uranus along for the ride surprise is on the menu. Startling is the word. On Thursday morning, Mercury connects with Pluto. Mercury bears the message, is the link and the mediator. Pluto is a force to be reckoned with. At this point, Pluto is gathering the information. Next week, more sign (Venus) and direction (Mars) changes by the planets as well as the Last Quarter Moon on Sunday, may signal the time for action. Stay tuned.
