Theme: Expanding view and deepening relationships

With Venus in good aspect to Pluto you can be more courageous in sharing more of yourself with others. Jupiter remains in beneficial aspect to the Sun creating opportunities for seeing how you fit into the larger world, and expanding your learning about the meaning of life and the universe. The Moon in Sagittarius is an echo of this expansiveness, bringing an adventurous spirit to your responses. With the Sun and Moon both in fire signs there is a ready supply of energy and enthusiasm.

Be firmly concentrated yet loosely relaxed: Here is an essential point for the View.~Machik Labdron

Theme: The soft spot

With Chiron conjunct the Sun today it’s an opportunity for healing that part of us that prevents us from aligning with our inner purpose. You may not have your full complement of physical energy today but you will have insights into any self-imposed hurdles. It requires courage to explore the tender spots in our psyche. Mercury and Mars are positively aspecting the north node helping you re-set your direction through the support of good people.

…you can be anxious, sensitive, kind, and wear your heart on your sleeve, you can be a mother or not, … you can be a nerd, a crier, a hugger, you can be all of these things, and not only can you be here, you can lead just like me. ~Jacinta Ardern.

Theme: Get fresh air

There is an absence of the air element the last few days which has made it harder to stand back and discern what’s going on. Put another way, you’re likely to be more partisan at this time. And with the Moon void of course for most of the day it’s more of a ‘reflect and regroup’ day. The Moon opposite Neptune also gives an indeterminate quality to the day. Air comes tumbling in when the Moon moves into Libra in around 6 hours time. Remember to breathe in, breathe out!

I’ve always been skeptical of people who say they lose themselves in a part…You have to develop a style that suits you and pursue it, not just develop a bag of tricks.~Jimmy Stewart

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 9.50am until 5:51pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Speech patterns

With Mercury about to leave the sign of Aries and move into Taurus – direct speech gets replaced by blunt speech. Taurus, like all earth signs, doesn’t do word-play! Rather, communication is grounded in reality. Although Taurus does favor beauty, and this can flow into speech, it’s more of a case of an iron fist in a velvet glove kind of thing. The Moon is also in an earth sign (Virgo) bringing energy to work with the earth: think of gardening and medicinal plants.

Mind is unborn, mind is like the sky. Don’t corrupt it with a mist of conceptualizations.~Marpa

Astrology for 3/30/2023 Thursday by Wangmo & Miranda

Theme: Freedom of expression

With Venus exactly conjunct with Uranus you will chafe against relationships that limit your self-expression. You may even want to spread your wings and take flight, far from the maddening crowd. However, with the Moon in Cancer the ties that bind you will pull you closer to home. With Saturn now in Pisces, it’s a challenging mix. The orderly unbending, time oriented nature of Saturn is flummoxed by the boundless oceanic, and at times escapist nature of Pisces. In other words, Saturn in Pisces can mean very different alternate realities. Connecting with compassion, and being counter-intuitive can be helpful in dealing with this placement which last occurred in the 1990s.

All things pass away, our time on Earth is brief, and yet we may feel assailed at great length in this brief time, and yet we may reach moments of great happiness.~Sebastian Barry

Theme: Home is where the heart is

With the Moon in Cancer you can pause and do something that reconnects and nourishes you. Cancerian energy pulls memories and habits to the surface and the past is present. As both the Moon in Cancer and the Sun in Aries are in cardinal signs it’s an indication of activity and forward movement. You can harness your vitality and focus more easily, especially if you wish to benefit others.

You cannot create compassion.  It is your nature. What is needed is to change habits. We have surrounded ourselves with the belief that we are our personality.~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo
