If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It!

Get ready to enjoy the rush of energy, enthusiasm and inspiration that accompanies the Sun's entrance into Aries on March 19! This week also signals the time of the Spring Equinox, which, along with the confident new Moon in Aries on March 22, always provides an opportunity for a fresh start! Just prepare to tweak some of your ideas as retrograde Mercury returns to spiritual Pisces on March 23.

March 19: The Sun enters Aries

Have you been thinking about turning over a new leaf, or perhaps setting off on an adventure? Anything and everything seem possible now as the Sun enters bold, driven Aries; this is a potent time that marks the Spring Equinox for those above the equator, and the Autumnal Equinox for those below. Are you ready to take initiative? Hopefully you've taken full advantage of all the recent helpful aspects and are now in good position to get your ducks (Rams?) in a row. Draw upon Aries's most courageous attributes to help you remain positive and optimistic now!

March 22: New Moon in Aries

This is no time to be indecisive! Earlier this week, the Sun entered Aries; now, the new Moon occurs in the second degree of this feisty sign, heralding a time of fresh starts. Take the Ram by the horns and do what you can to advance yourself and further your goals. Just keep in mind that Aries is also the sign of the warrior, so be thoughtful of others as you advance your own causes. Uranus and Mercury sit next to this new Moon, a combination that can bring innovative ideas. Follow the lead of writer/philosopher Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832): "Whatever you do -- or dream you can do -- begin it. Boldness has genius and power and magic in it."

March 23: Retrograde Mercury re-enters Pisces

Did you know that daydreaming can actually help you? Often the best ideas come to you during your most relaxed moments. As Mercury, representing all forms of thought and communication, backtracks into the sensitive and spiritual sign of Pisces, you can make the most of this transit by spending time in quiet reflection: Listen to beautiful music, take a walk in the park, record your thoughts in a journal. As you take a step back, you'll feel refreshed and inspired. By April 4, when Mercury turns direct, you'll be ready to put your revamped plans and ideas out into the world!

I see it... as an Interesting week! The Season of Spring begins, while we are still looking behind us for clues from the past.

It is just the planet Mercury moving in retrograde that keeps us tuned-in, to what needs to be re-done? Or changed? So heads- up everyone! Give yourself a break when you find that your are having difficulty making up your mind!!!

Thursday, March 22, will be the one that will be the most difficult to plan, this week... it begins with a new moon, Uranus, conjunction, that brings surprises, and out of the norm happenings! Keep in mind that a new moon day sets the trend for the next 3 weeks! And any turbulence on Thursday can just set the stage for the coming weekend when all that newly found energy and passion on Saturday, and Sunday, gives you complications, that involve others!
