Week of 3.14.16
Monday, Monday
With the Moon in dualistic Gemini, you get to double down on that special project on Monday. Usually, this lively sign is perfect for communicating and circulating ideas. But with harsh Saturn creating static, you’ll be better off working alone and keeping your ideas close to the vest. The good news is that Saturn will lend structure and focus, which can be helpful if you're trying to work through a problem or bring a task to completion. But if you're looking for feedback or a pat on the back, you need to know that Saturn can be negative and overcritical. You wouldn't want to show your boss or colleagues that brilliant idea only to have them shoot it down prematurely. That scenario is doubly likely, as there’s also a frictional aspect between Venus and Mars stoking tempers and resentments in all relationships. Best to keep a low profile at work—and at home—on Monday. The Moon continues in Gemini until 1:03p Tuesday, at which time it will be Void through 8:56p. Be sure to check out all the dos and don'ts of this unpredictable Void Moon here.
VOID MOON TIP
Take care of routine and/or menial tasks (e.g., expense reports, organizing files, updating address books, laundry) during a Void Moon period. Then, when opportunity knocks, you’ll be ready at the door, not stuck at the laundromat.
Rise and Shine!
Can we really shine when the Moon is in moody Cancer? The answer this week is a resounding yes, as the Cancer Moon will be making auspicious aspects both Wednesday and Thursday. Creativity and intuition soar, when the Cancer Moon collaborates with artsy Venus and visionary Neptune. But it’s not only artistic projects that benefit from these stellar aspects. You’ll find anything you’re doing, from preparing a budget to planning a wedding, will profit from a more inventive approach. (Okay, maybe we can draw the line at creative bookkeeping?)
Sweet Dreams Are Made of This
But speaking of profit, there’s another terrific aspect midweek, between fortuitous Jupiter and that powerful change-agent Pluto, that green-lights any financial and/or work-related ventures. Seeds planted under this promising aspect, could pay off handsomely in late June when this power duo reconnects.
Get ready to strut your stuff on Friday when the Moon will be in outgoing Leo, the perfect time for showcasing those brilliant ideas you were so busy perfecting on Monday.
WEEKEND FORECAST
Mixed. With a playful Leo Moon hanging out with wild card Uranus on Saturday, you’ll be in the perfect mood to try something new. Kite surfing, anyone? Just do it before the Moon goes Void, which will be from 4:43p Saturday through 1:39p Sunday. During the Void Moon period, you’ll want to double check any dinner/brunch reservations you’ve made and stay open to changes in your plans that may turn out better than your original scheme. Playtime’s probably over once the Moon moves into no-nonsense Virgo Sunday afternoon. The Virgo Moon has a way of reminding (nagging?) us about all the tedious stuff we need to do to prepare for the work week (sigh!) The good News on Sunday, is that it happens to be the Spring Equinox, the time when the Sun moves into dashing Aries for its month-long stay.
It's Aries Time. Go Bold or Go Home!
Being the first sign of the Zodiac, fiery Aries prods, needles and cajoles us to blaze new trails and go where wise ones never dare. It takes an abundance of energy and arrogance, not to mention naiveté, to brave such daunting tasks. Fortunately, the sign of the ram has been well endowed with all those traits. It’s not a coincidence that Spring begins when the Sun moves into this exuberant sign. So during Aries time, be bold, be brave, be pioneering. You have the next four weeks to take the initiative and sow seeds of change in your life. Go on, get moving! Did I mention that Aries is notoriously impatient?
