Humpback
What do you really want? This is the question Venus is currently asking retrograde in Aries. In particular, what do you want in the realm of life represented by the Aries house in the chart? As Mercury and Venus (March 11, 2025, 3:55 pm PDT, at 08º47’RARIES), it may be much easier to find out.
The Sabian symbol of the conjunction is 9 Aries. Crystal Gazer. Some clues about our desires may be direct and direct, meeting our expectations of Mercury in Aries. However, some people will be intuitive like they do to the crystal gazeman. Although we don’t usually think that Aries are particularly intuitive like Aries, they do – or at least instinctively. They are not unconsciously aware of the signs of water, but through the fire of the Holy Spirit.
The spirit makes people visible
Alert readers will remember that my late father was a textbook Capricorn and a farmer. He has never been happier than riding a tractor, neat soil. He likes dirt, heat, humidity, bugs. When he went home for supper, he was exhausted and as peaceful as Capricorn.
I’m not going to work romantically. But it’s certain that humans are not sitting indoors in artificial light for hours every day. We may enjoy what we are doing during those times and may not even think we are very physically living creatures; but our bodies beg differently. Just think about the happiness and relaxation of exercise.
With the annual combination of the Sun and Saturn This week (March 12, 2025, 3:29 AM PDT, Pisces 22º05′), we may feel restricted, organized, painful, tired or dissatisfied – especially on the day or two of the arrival of the exact aspect. The body can be an uncomfortable container of Saturn to achieve the bright spirit of the sun, especially when it is plagued by abandonment. But the combination of the Sun and Saturn reminds us that our bodies are visible and a privilege to live and we should attribute it to our bodies to give them the use of our ideas as much as possible.
Entanglement
Every year, as the winter solstice approaches, I think, “Hey- let’s flash some lights on the front porch posts!” So I pulled the drawer in the corridor, which contained a giant captain’s tangled chain light, so chaotic and desperately knotted that my heart sank when I saw them. I closed the drawer for another year.
At each full moon, we reveal to ourselves. this Virgo full moon (March 13, 2025, 11:55 pm PDT, at 23º56′ Virgo and Pisces) is an emotionally challenging lunar eclipse against the Sun, Saturn and Neptune; what is revealed is that we are overwhelmed by and hide in the chaos of the external and internal worlds.
Look at the Pisces house in the chart. Then, cross the wheel to the Virgo house, because that’s where you find the key to knot. One of the superpowers in Virgo is to fall down a large old amorphous, Pisces/Saturn/Neptune spots, patiently soothe it into order.
Of course, the world itself seemed hopelessly entangled and overwhelmed for several days. But usually, the overwhelming key to breaking the deadlock is to take only one small move that is easy to measure.
Change is as good as rest
I had a bit of sleepy morning when I used to save time and wanted to make a difference at breakfast. sounds good? A quick psychological scan finally yielded results: “Bagel.” I staggered to the bagel store and went home with a beautiful sack. When I texted her a neighbor, she was delighted: “I can’t face my usual breakfast this morning,” she said. “Now, it feels like the sun has come out!”
As the saying goes, “Change is as good as rest.” And it’s amazing how much energy a regular minimal change can release. It doesn’t require any drama; maybe another breakfast, a new way to work, dinner takeaway-just the usual stuff.
Uranus of the Sun (March 14, 2025, 2:16 AM PDT) Remind you Embrace change. It doesn’t need to fall into chaos, but there is no doubt that we feel cheer and enthusiasm even at the smallest, sesame powder changes.
How far have we gone
One of my biggest friends sent me some blurry photos of the grammar school days. Although my memories are not usually what they used to be, I have no trouble reviewing the names of each of my classmates in these photos. But who is the girl with long hair, fierce, clumsy hair, and my name is written down below? I also remembered her, how she tried to feel good for herself and adapt to herself. Watching her make my heart catch, making me feel protected by that girl. For a moment, I realized how far I’ve gone in the decades since then, and how much I’ve been.
Mercury turns retrograde this week (March 14, 2025, 11:46 PM PDT, in Aries 9º35′). Especially when it’s in Aries, it’s impatient and tends to skip a step here and there, and for all the usual reasons – technology and electronic snafus, communication problems and misunderstandings, Mercury retrograde may be exacerbated.
But when we get away from Mercury’s usual terrain, it’s also a great opportunity to go back in the past to get inspiration, remember our reckless, young selves, appreciate who we are now and how far we have come.
