Horoscope for the week beginning March 18
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the week
Happy spring 2016! March 19 at 9:31 p.m. PDT is the official time. The other big news is the Lunar Eclipse. Already a significant event in its own right, this Full Moon is the culmination of the March 8 Solar Eclipse, making it that much more impactful. The exact degree is 3 Libra 17.
It is noteworthy that the core theme of the Solar Eclipse is about relationships and specifically endings, completions and graduations and that the Full Moon is also in Libra, the sign of relationships. Relationships can point in any direction: personal, romantic, friendship, profession, family… so, watch for synchronicities with these themes in mind.
The Solar Eclipse activates a process of change that can be large and pivotal and its influence can endure for up to six months. If such change is destined to occur for you, it should already be evident and will come into full light under this Full Moon. Well, a slightly dimmed light of the exact Full Moon, that is, due to the Penumbral eclipse which occurs on March 23 at 5:01 a.m. PDT.

March 18-24
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
If you have been feeling a little reclusive, that is about to change. If you have been enjoying some time-out, this is your cue to get you last licks in now. Spring is your time especially to rise and shine. Sometimes it takes a little longer to feel the impulse though, and this could be one of those times. For best results, take mental note, at least, of your goals for the season.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
Sweet dreams vie with revving ambitions. You have been in the mood to play. Yet your mind is awash with thoughts, ideas and visions. Your imagination power could be especially active now and may require that you make extra efforts so that it works for you and not against. An unchecked imagination can conjure negative scenarios. Otherwise weave, dreamer.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Are you riding on a hope, a prayer, a dream, a genuine vision, or perhaps a combination of all of the above? Sometimes we feel called and some regard such intuitive convictions as spiritual and destiny. Yet deep discernment is needed to determine if your feelings are authentic or simply fantasies. These can even become inflated and appear very real. Pray to really know the difference.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Gaining glimpses of higher visions, deeper truths and/or profound philosophies are all possible scenarios now. These may be coming in amidst an otherwise busy and even challenging time in your life. Fortunately, you feel the spirit to prevail. This includes plucking the fruit of these lofty experiences from the tree of possibilities and adding it to your basket on the ground of daily reality.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
An invitation to dive deep and to dig even deeper, has been sent to you by your destiny department. It is asking you to take a few calculated risks. Accepting this invitation will require that you work harder than you have for some time. Yet, the rewards will be yours to realize as well. Whatever the situation, opportunities to meet the challenge and rise to higher levels are coming in – fast.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Shifts and changes on relationship fronts continue. As with spring, love is in the air or, at least, infatuation and desire. As much as the focus includes others, some of it is directly pointed at you. Call it learning to be your own best friend. In doing so, inspirations to take a few risks are rising too. Change in your lifestyle is featured and increasing your overall health levels is central.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
Balancing self-assertion with surrender implies the activation of complexity. It is this very attribute that the soul feeds on. On a personality level, it is common to focus to keep it simple, sweetheart. There is certainly wisdom in that too. Yet, the complex weave of seemingly separate themes and principles is the intention and consequence of genius.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
Waves of imagination continue to roll in. It may even feel like a veritable typhoon. At worst, you could feel a bit overwhelmed. At best, ideas are flowing in unbounded measure. Simply capturing as many of them as you can in whatever manner works best for you, is ideal. By this time next week, or sooner, you will begin to take deliberate action.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
A soul-searching journey continues. The answers you seek are directly linked to your professional, public and social spheres in general. It feels important to make some solid decisions and choices. You want to feel clearer, grounded and reliable. Fortunately, your determination levels are running high. Web-like patterns woven with emotion may be obscuring your vision. Brush them aside.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
Your mind is literally swimming with ideas. You are excited at the prospects of capturing some of them. Fears may be holding you back, however, producing a state of procrastination. If this is the case, the best idea to act on first is that of turning to directly confront these disturbances lingering beneath the surface. While some may be real, most are likely mere shadows from clouds.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
A process of what you truly want and need continues. You may feel frustrated, agitated and rebellious. Positively, this unsettled state will lead you to take deliberate action. Your status quo must change somehow. There is reason to say that you are receiving some karmic returns. Yet, these should not be overestimated. Decipher if certain habitual comfort zones are really in your best interest.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
The current in your flow is pulling you in new directions. Like a great river delta, these currents are expansive and present opportunities to broaden your scope. Meeting people and making new friends is likely. Of course, you must be in-tune and with your will engaged. Be careful of the back eddies pulling you back to the past. Focus on now and next, where new horizons beckon.
