Tip of the Month

Just as Mercury advances towards Aries, the retrograde pull causes it to hover at the 29th degree before turning retrograde on March 5. It will continue in this status until the end of the month. Since it will only enter Aries on April 18, it means it will have been in Pisces for over two months.

While supportive of imaginative thinking, Mercury in Pisces can prove to be a difficult cycle for many. Venus in airy Aquarius won’t help much. However, as of March 7, Uranus joins Mars, already in Taurus as of mid-February, supporting an earthy, grounded factor, despite the otherwise foggy feeling many will have. Positively, it will manifest as a meditative and relaxing cycle. All the while, the strong Capricorn factor will keep people focused on their duties.

Aries (Mar 21- Apr 19)

A dreamier cycle has begun. Yet, you have maintained at least one solid foot on the ground. Mars in Taurus is helping you planet the other but Mercury in Pisces is making it a slippery slope. Creative interests balance the scales with the j.o.b.

Taurus (Apr 20-May 20)

New activations in your career and overall social status are keeping you busy. For you at this time, business is your culture. Pushing through to new territory feels right, yet you wonder if you are dreaming. You might be.

Gemini (May 21-Jun 20)

Pisces time is when you often experience the opportunity to shine. Yet, this year due to Mercury Rx there, shy may be in the way of shine. Your confidence levels will little bob like a float with a fish on the line.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Some dreams are bigger, deeper and longer than others and it may feel like you are having one of those. Yet, reality keeps shaking you awake, if gently. As it does, you want to push rebelliously yet you may feel a little lost.

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The influence of strong Pisces energy this month will pull you deep within. However, you are also supported by Mars to persevere in your work. Venus chimes in by saying, “lighten-up and weave in some socializing respite!”

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The lure of Pisces could prove quite intoxicating for you. A deep attraction to the mystical, mysterious and imaginative realms has always been your dessert. Yet, Venus says: “I’m into my work right now,” and Mars adds: “I’m with her.”

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

‘Steady as she goes’, is your attitude now. After all, your ambitions have kicked-in again. Work spliced with some play helps. Keeping your energy levels and immune system boosted is a priority.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Sometimes a creative wave is better felt that engaged actively, like now perhaps. You are keen to entertain a variety of options. Circumstances are pushing you to do just that, like it or not, so you might as well.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Some cycles are deeper, more mysterious and perplexing than others, like this one. Despite a clear desire for practical results and a steady determination with a healthy twist of social activity, this is not a good time to think too much.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your imagination is going off. Hopefully, it is so in the directions you want. Expressing your self with grace, beauty and charm feels good. Although quiet, you are a force to reckon with and others are noticing.

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Everyone is contending directly or indirectly with the strong Pisces energy. You especially are noticing and feeling the vibes. These are pushing you to focus to gain your anchor, or latch on to your rock, as the case may be.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Sun, Mercury Rx, and Neptune all in Pisces indicates inspirations to direct your imagination to pointed pursuits. Yet, you know that pointed is not the Pisces way. Venus and Mars both urge you to mix it up a bit.
