Keep Your Antenna High
MONDAY’s enterprising Capricorn Moon will be galvanized by Uranus and inspired by Neptune. Together they’re empowering you to unleash your ingenuity and imagination. Combine Capricorn’s work ethic with all this resourcefulness and you’re sure to accomplish something extraordinary. Use it or lose it, because the Moon shorts out and goes Void at 11:01a. Although it’s a brief timeout, make sure this is not the time you make that important decision or purchase. (Read all about the dos and don’ts of the Void Moon here.) At 11:25a, the Moon zips into Aquarius and hosts a powerful meet up between the Sun and Mercury. Keep your antenna high to receive a flash of insight from your subconscious. Because your inner vision will be exceptionally keen, this would be a great day to put the world on hold and do some deep reflection. Take time out now to contemplate where you’ve been, and you’re likely to be rewarded with a glimpse of what lies ahead.
On TUESDAY, the Aquarius Moon presides over a potent merger between perceptive Mercury and penetrating Pluto, imparting focus, precision and depth. At the same time, Jupiter will be lending plenty of self-assurance. That means you’ll have the confidence to think bigger and delve deeper, which is excellent for tackling a venture that requires intense research, solving a thorny problem, or bringing an intricate project to completion. This keen clarity sets the stage for one of the benefits of Mercury’s Retrograde—the do-over. You now have a chance to redo something you didn’t get right the first time, Because you’ll be better able to articulate hard-to express feelings, you might even use it to clear up a past misunderstanding. Hopefully, the second time’s the charm!

Primetime Void
You know that pile of stuff you’ve been putting off for a rainy day? Well, it’s just started pouring. WEDNESDAY features an extended Void Moon that starts at 6:15a and lasts until midafternoon. Having a good chunk of down time like this, during Mercury’s Retrograde is ideal for taking on projects and tasks that would bog you down on a more productive day. Make a list of the things you want to get out of the way, roll up your sleeves and have at it. Save more creative ventures for after 3:31p, when the Moon wafts into ethereal Pisces, bestowing copious amounts of inspiration and imagination.

Fruitful Imaginings
That artistic abundance continues over the next two days, stirring you to explore your genius to its fullest. Reach for the stars on THURSDAY, when the Pisces Moon will not only be jazzed by a prolific Jupiter, it will also benefit from a brilliant merger between resourceful Venus and artsy Neptune. That’s a whole lot of genius and positivity packed into one day, so don’t waste it on left-brain activities, like bookkeeping or taxes. A full-on right-brain day like this, when Mercury is also retrospective, is best for breathing new life into old creative pursuits. So dust off that canvas, script or brilliant idea you had for a podcast and complete your masterpiece!
On FRIDAY, the Pisces Moon hits a cosmic trifecta, consisting of Venus, Saturn, Neptune. All of this talent, aligning in magical, mystical Pisces will be further stimulated by an innovative Uranus. While this isn’t the time to launch a new initiative, if you direct this gifted trio at a work in progress, one that could benefit from a more imaginative, collaborative and unique approach, you’re likely to produce something remarkable. This dynamic is time limited, however, so make the most of it before the Moon goes Void at 4:16p. A mere six minutes later, the Moon dashes into high-spirited Aries, meets up with livewire Mercury and heads out for a night on the town. That, makes Friday the most fun night this week!

WEEKEND FORECAST
SATURDAY is the most eventful day of the week. Not only does the gung-ho Aries Moon buddy up with swashbuckling Jupiter, daring you to exceed the limits, it also conjoins with the Sun to create a powerful Solar Eclipse. (Read more below). There’s a strong tendency to throw caution to the wind when this intrepid duo gets together, so keep that in mind when planning activities for the day. Avoid riskier ones, like skydiving or hang-gliding, if you want to ensure a good time—and make it to Sunday.
The Moon will be Void for the better part of the day on SUNDAY, giving you the perfect excuse to make it a true day of rest. Although the Moon ambles into Taurus, at 4:16p, you’ll still want to keep things low key, because a turbulent Pluto will be poking the Bull Moon, looking to stir up trouble. This is an evening best spent curling up with a good book or catching up on that addictive series. Alone.

Solar Eclipse in Aries: Big. Bold. Change.

Get ready to seize the transformational energy of SATURDAY’s Eclipse with both hands! Solar Eclipses are New Moons on steroids. They herald big events, fresh starts and magnify the intensity and impact of any changes you make. This one, in fiery Aries, will be powerfully bolstered by Mercury, Venus, Neptune and Saturn.  This united galactic force is sure to ignite an upsurge of vitality and daring. It will also compel you to examine your past and purge yourself of any unhealthy patterns holding you back from pursuing your potential and your dreams. Because this Eclipse marks the end of a long cycle, it frees audacious new energy, which you can exploit to plant the seeds of new beginnings. It also injects you with the courage to make the bold changes necessary to achieve your goals. But don’t act too quickly! Mercury’s Retrograde and the days surrounding an Eclipse are volatile. Right now, preparing for that change is the best course of action. Since the effects of an Eclipse can be felt anywhere from six months to a year, you can afford to wait until Mercury goes direct April 7, before taking the next step.
