Hello, everyone.  Hold on to your hats, because this week could blow them away!  Upside down and inside out are the keywords of the week.  This is a week of new beginnings with the New Moon and the Equinox, as well as strong Uranian energies.  I don’t think I’ve ever said “thank the goddess for Saturn” before, but his influence is the only thing to keep us grounded during the next seven days.  As you navigate the week, Saturn steps in on Thursday and Sunday.  Try to hold off on major changes until either of these days or a wild sense of rebellion could have you in trouble by week’s end.

Monday

Monday’s New Moon coincides with a conjunction between Mercury and Uranus.  Mercury/Uranus speeds up our perception and quickens our intuition while this New Moon whispers that a whole cycle is ending and you’re ready for a new start.  The risk is that your feelings are stronger than your reason and overreaction rather than reasonable response is your modus operandi.  Try to avoid sudden, hasty alliances.  Bad press could follow if you act too impulsively.  Sometimes daring to be different means making the rational choice.

Wednesday

On Wednesday we’ve got a triple-whammy:  the Sun joining unpredictable Uranus; Mercury entering Aries; and then Mercury finding fellowship with fearless Mars in Leo.  A sudden inspiration may tempt you to change your vision of yourself and your business and once it hits, you’re ready to risk everything to make it happen.  You’re thinking boldly and independently but you may have an unjustified certainty about the future.  These influences can bring brilliance but also impulsivity and a quick finger on the trigger.  Breathe.

Thursday

Today we can come down to earth but don’t be surprised if you’re dragged into practicality unwillingly.  With Mercury opposing Saturn someone may be forcing you to take the intensity from the early part of the week and transfer it into methodical, orderly, written strategy.  With luck the taskmaster will be an older wiser advisor you trust, rather than an external foe.  If someone steps in to block your best ideas, you may not have the patience to hear them out.  But the balance they bring will lead you in the right direction.

Saturday

Today, the Equinox continues the current of new beginnings.  And with Mercury challenging Pluto, you might think you’ve found the key to overcome the economic turmoil we’ve all been experiencing.  You may be fooling yourself:  your ideas could easily be at odds with your financial reality.  Be sure you keep everything above board and watch where you step:  there are snakes in the grass.

Sunday

This is the day to take all of the ideas of the destabilizing week and make something concrete.  With the Sun in good aspect to Mars, decisiveness leads to accomplishment, especially since Saturn is on hand again today.  As on Thursday, you may not like the voice of restraint as it’s almost certainly coming from your partner, but it would be wise to listen.  You may feel their advice is curtailing your spirit but it’s actually a container to hold all of the brilliance of the week.  In this way your inspiration can become practical and real.

Have a great, exciting but grounded, week. And let me know how it goes. For an overview of the whole month of March, see the Monthly Forecast.
