For All Signs: Mercury turns direct this week, early the morning of Mar. 5th. Mercury’s retrograde phenomenon occurs three times per year so we’ve all experienced many of them. This particular one has been more serious than most because of it’s particular position in the zodiac at this time. Normally it represents communication and paperwork snarls, shifts in schedules and confusing messages. However, this episode of the retrograde has represented emotional difficulties as well. For many, old and painful history has surfaced to be re-grieved, challenges to self-esteem have forced a reexamination of issues we thought had been laid to rest. Though not pleasant to experience, the result of reworking these things will generate a stronger definition of self and is ultimately healing.
Aries the Ram: (Mar 20—Apr 19th ) Mars, your ruling planet, shifts your attention on the March 31, 2019, to fresh territory. During the next seven weeks, your activities and feelings will be intensified in the life sector related to vehicles, short distance travels, politics, communications, education, your neighborhood, and siblings. Use caution while driving because your accelerator foot may be a bit itchy.
Taurus: It is possible you will be focused on an issue in which you feel bound and tied to someone else’s tether. Career and life direction seems to be a focal point. You are normally a peaceful bull and like to enjoy your field of flowers. But this issue will require some concentration and creative thinking.
Gemini: Mars, the red planet of war, enters your sign this week and will be traveling with you for seven weeks. This energy is best used to handle physically heavy projects or take initiatives that you might not otherwise tackle. If you are choosing not to deal honestly with this assertive energy, the common side effects are irritability and infections. It is healthier to take charge of it.
Cancer: You are conflicted on the subject of romance versus caretaking, which is your natural instinct. Perhaps you are caught in the middle between the needs of a spouse and your children. Sometimes a Cancer becomes a parent to the partner, which usually creates a troubled atmosphere. Set aside decisions on these matters until you are more centered. That will be soon.
Leo: Mercury has been retrograding in the territory of taxes, debt, and joint resources. You will likely experience a need to go back and review financial history. If you prepared your taxes in the past two months, there is a higher probability that errors were made in the paperwork. Double check yourself now.
Virgo: See the lead paragraph. Mercury is your ruling planet. It’s possible that you have been waffling over several decisions and unable to choose the right ones. Now that Mercury turns direct, you will be able to untangle the various component parts and move in a forward direction.
Libra: This is a great time to focus attention on returning to good health routines. Libras are so social that it is sometimes a challenge to maintain time consuming exercise or diet regimens. Over the next 3 weeks it is possible you will find a buddy whose schedule matches yours and who can help you hold onto your goals.
Scorpio: You will be concluding a cycle of several weeks at this time. Your attention will begin to shift toward issues of intimacy and partnership, joint and corporate financial matters, taxes, and/or estate and business planning.
Sagittarius: You have been focused recently on an issue of home, hearth, family or property. The appropriate solution has just eluded you. Now that Mercury is turning direct, some of the complicating cogs will fall into place, offering a doorway to a finale.
Capricorn: There has been tension in your relationships since mid-winter. The problem is related to who has the power. Leave it alone for a couple of weeks and see if things will settle over time. You have the power. Consider how you can share some of it with the person who is struggling with you. Life will take on a less stressful tone.
Aquarius: There is probability of stress in your relationship life at this time. The issue is over power, who gets his or her way. Give it a break for ten days while Mercury stabilizes and then you can return to this issue with a more realistic focus.
Pisces: Mercury has been retrograding in your sign for the whole month of March. It shifts direction this week to direct. There will be a need for clean-up time over the next two to three weeks. You will be finishing projects that just wouldn’t get done during this retrograde cycle.
