Keep moving along in your growth process; you’ve made considerable strides and are now ready for the next phase. You are looking at the world from an increasingly mature perspective, which is like coming into the full rights and power of adulthood: you are conscious of your free will, and know your ability to exercise it. Continue putting that into practice, and treat sunshine and storms alike as fuel for your journey.

Even a little awareness of where you’re coming from could go a long way right now — particularly when it comes to your sexual energy. (You can also read ‘creative energy’ or ‘life force’ for ‘sexual energy’ if it fits better, though several factors are emphasizing the more literal reading.) By ‘where you’re coming from’, I mean everything from your family of origin and their ancestors — and their baggage — to your own old hurts in the love-and-sex department (especially the ways your sense of identity or self has been impacted), to the facets of your erotic nature and history that you work hard to keep anyone else from knowing.

That’s a lot of ‘stuff’ with high voltage potential, and it may require careful handling as you figure out how to give it voice. You don’t need to shout to move this energy effectively, but it does want to move. Starting small could open the way for other, less pressurized, moves down the road — toward healing and a greater sense of freedom in being who you are.

Prepare to go on some adventures, whether in the physical or mental realm. Your mind is likely to be working excellently, and you may find it unusually easy to come up with interesting ideas. You can help this process along by doing what you can to maintain your wellbeing at all levels, down to choosing clean and nutritious food as often as you can; and by stimulating your brain with new and interesting experiences.

Written in the Planets

Today the Sun makes its first annual conjunction to Uranus in Taurus for this era. Are you in any kind of conscious process of becoming right now? If not, or if you feel something like that got interrupted or suspended last year, it’s possible this aspect may act like jumper cables to get you up and running. That said, it might not come through in the most convenient way; Uranus is known for being ‘revolutionary’ — which for most people (who are not instigating the revolution), means disruptive.

Yet Taurus is not a sign known for its enjoyment of sudden changes to routine, or of change simply for the sake of something different. Here’s the thing, though: most Taureans I know have a very strong sense of their core values. And if they become aware of a need to adjust in order to better express and serve those values, they can get very determined about moving in that direction.

You don’t have to be a Taurus to tap into that, however; you just need to feel how the ground is shifting, and then respond in the way that feels truest — and yet new — for you. Today’s Moon in Sagittarius should help you to access some extra optimism and flexibility if needed. Venus square Pholus is a reminder that even modest acts can express your emotions, desire, or pursuit of someone — and generate an effect.

Honor your remarkable strength and your ability to persevere amid the peaks and troughs of life. These gifts are a part of you because of the internal wellspring of passion that drives you from under the surface; a fund of power few have the privilege of seeing, which links you directly to the most spiritual part of your nature. Remember you can draw on this source as often as you need it.

Written in the Planets

What truly feeds you, mind, body and soul? Do you feel like you have a split opinion, or opposed desires on that score? Mars in Gemini opposite Ceres in Sagittarius suggests you might be faced with someone or something that could fill this role — perhaps even in a mentor-like or motherly way. Depending on which option in your mind they (or it) fit, it might be more or less clear how to proceed. Perhaps start by asking lots of questions; listen carefully to what gets said (or shown, or demonstrated) and what goes unsaid. With Mars also moving into a square with Neptune in Pisces, there’s a strong imperative to check facts — and to be as honest with yourself as possible. That can get tricky if you’re feeling conflicted, or if what you want runs counter to what someone else wants. Go slowly if that’s the case. It’s okay to be wrong — we’re all just human beings trying to figure everything out, after all. So if you need to make a correction, do so sooner rather than later, and with genuine sincerity.

Take note of any dreams or visions you might have, along with other messages you receive of that sort. There’s already a gathering of energy at your back, and you only need to steer in the direction you want. Your connections with the divine (or your higher self) and with the collective unconscious may prove invaluable guides. Listen carefully, and take in all the information offered you. What you make of it remains your prerogative.

It’s a busy day astrologically; can you feel it? Three significant objects changing signs in one day is a signal to feel for a distinct change in tone — in this case, your relationships and your body (or how you feel about both, as they intersect) could to be a focus. Sex, sexual expression and sexual secrets are also on the agenda.

Here’s what’s up: The Sun enters Taurus today, moving us into the heart of the season — and urging you to feel your body and express its needs and sensations, in according to your core values. With Uranus nearby, surprising new directions in these areas become likely. Can you roll with it? Later in the day, Venus — the planet ruling Taurus — itself moves into Aries. This may assist you in being more direct with your passion, though take note: Venus is also moving into aspect with planets that describe awareness of ‘old material’. Sex is a classic repository for repression, projection and generational secrets, so tread lightly, especially if you’re feeling fired up.

Mercury is in the mix, too, getting your head into the game with your heart and body. Pay attention to where your thoughts are directed. Finally, the asteroid Juno enters Cancer today. This looks like an enhanced need for emotional intimacy and attention. Can you offer that as much as you need to receive it from someone? With Juno also in contact with Venus, Mercury and their compatriots, be alert for any feelings of co-dependency. Stating your emotional needs directly should help to circumvent any temptation to slide into unintentional manipulation.

Consider how far you’ve come at least in the past few months, and let that serve as a strong encouragement for your onward journey. A long phase of your growth is reaching its culmination, and the fruits of your work are likely to show themselves in short order. You have the power to bring about the changes you seek, especially in terms of asserting your independence and gaining influence in the world.

Depending on when you read this, today’s Libra Full Moon may already be separating (it’s exact at 7:12 am EDT / 11:12:03 UTC). If that’s the case, hopefully you’re beginning to feel a little relief if a situation got tense or confrontational; things should start to resolve themselves. If you’re trying to figure out what the heck has been going on in that regard, the aspects featured in yesterday’s Written in the Planets are still in force and worth a review; you can also find more detailed information about this Libra Full Moon here.

The Moon enters Scorpio about an hour and a half after its opposition to the Sun peaks; it then opposes Uranus in Taurus almost immediately. If you encounter some kind of surprise or disruption to your routine today — especially one that seems to come from someone else — you’re right on schedule. Scorpio Moons can be known for their ability to respond with strength and energy when circumstances require it. Can you add ‘flexibility’ and ‘curiosity’ to that skillset? Those could be just what you need to investigate whatever pops up today (or to get beneath reactions that accompanied the Full Moon). You may even uncover some inner power that was previously hidden from your full recognition.

Remember that you have control over your actions, especially those you take over a longer period of time. Taken in some lights, this is encouraging: however strong or compelling your impulses, you ultimately possess the hand that steers the chariot. The very energy pressing you to act in a specific way can be channeled deliberately and consciously into the work you intend to do. It may help you to pause and think before you make each move.

Written in the Planets

Tomorrow morning’s Full Moon in Libra is coming into full strength today, and you’ve probably noticed it. Stretching across the axis of ‘fired-up individualist’ Aries and ‘relationship harmony above all’ Libra, this one has real potential to provoke some strong reactions in people. Is that person you, or someone you’re dealing with? Or both? With the Sun and Moon opposing each other in the very last degrees of their respective signs, there could be an added edginess.

Consider it your mission to watch for that sensation, and then breathe into it — or, maybe even better, dance with it — to minimize sharpness (or going a little too far) in your reactions. Remember that while oppositions often represent confrontations, they can just as easily describe the kind of meeting and negotiation of movement illustrated by two people ballroom dancing. It’s all just energy looking for an outlet; you get to be as creative and aware in that process as you’d like. When in doubt, or if feeling especially pressured, consider leaving any major decisions or conversations until after the Full Moon peaks (at 7:12 am EDT Friday), when you may feel things begin to relax some.

Note that today we also have Venus in Pisces squaring the Galactic Core in Sagittarius. Ixion, an awareness-raising centaur associated with amoral behavior and how we do (or do not) make good on second chances — is also in that pattern. Are you willing to express your most empathetic, agape-style love via your higher calling? Do you feel haunted or intimidated by how easily aspirations can detour into less-than-ethical choices? Consider noticing what is pushing to come out via your most idealistic or sensitive leanings today. Trust your instincts and intuition — without losing sight of things like the Golden Rule and the laws of cause/effect and consequences. They always matter, and they matter most at times like this.

Pay attention to your environment, and to your emotional responses. Consider no form of information as inherently needless. The world around you is rich and vibrant, and is inviting you to share in its glories. You may be on the brink of realizing something that has previously been just out of your reach; once you obtain it, much is likely to make sense all of a sudden. Breathe the living air around you and let it kindle inspiration.

Written in the Planets

Mercury moves into Aries today, which may pick up the pace of any ongoing mental meanderings. Aries tends to be a decisive placement for the planet of the mind and communication, though, which could help if you need to get a handle on your thought processes. Mercury here can also be prone to impulsive decisions, and can get frustrated with delays in addressing problems. Given that we’re heading for a Full Moon in Libra (in the last degree of that sign) on Friday morning, it’s worth noting that the Moon enters Libra shortly after Mercury enters Aries. So that’s kind of like a mental-level trial run of the Full Moon energy — and it’s a good reminder to stop and think before you speak.

Note that pushing the ‘pause’ button before you express yourself is not the same as bottling everything up. But it might mean the difference between throwing fuel on a fire that you did not realize was smoldering just below the surface. Libra Moons indicate a preference for harmony; sometimes to the detriment of direct self-expression. So today could feature one person taking a forthright and uncomplicated approach to a situation, and the other person involved trying to steer interactions with diplomacy. You might even find yourself switching between those two roles.

Another thought: as Mercury moves into contact with a few key minor objects early in Aries and Capricorn, track where your thoughts are being drawn. Do you feel like you’re searching for a point of action, leverage or pressure-release between who you are (or think you are) and the patterns of your family of origin? Is any of this material coming through as previously repressed sexual energy, or something about your sexuality that you prefer to keep secret? If you can find a way in the coming days to express whatever it is safely (which still might feel risky, daring or just plain scary in its vulnerability), you may discover that you don’t even have to say that much to enjoy a sense of relief and acceptance of yourself.

Gather your energy and the passion you feel on a specific project and be ready to drive it forward to fulfillment. You will likely have a pretty clear final sprint; though if you find yourself hampered by any doubts, address those first and get them resolved. It would probably also help to tie up whatever loose ends might remain, as soon as you see them. The more thorough you are in covering these bases, the easier your path to the finish line.

Written in the Planets

Have you been thinking about a particular second chance lately? (For example, maybe one from the past, or one you wish to have.) Today Mercury, late in Pisces, is making its third of three squares to the centaur Ixion in Sagittarius; the other two were March 2 in direct motion, and March 9 in retrograde motion. You might check your calendar to see if you can detect any kind of through-line along this theme between then and now.

Ixion is a centaur, which means it’s associated with raising awareness. In this case, that could be awareness of how capable you are of acting in ethically questionable ways — and your ability to make a different, better-aligned choice. This entails thinking through all the possible implications and repercussions — no matter how inclined you are to gloss over ‘pesky’ details.

On a related note, Mars in Gemini is making a square to Nessus in Pisces; Mars is also warming up a square to Neptune. It appears there may be two sides (at least) to the stories of ‘what you really want’ and ‘where your boundaries really are’. Nessus is another awareness-raising centaur, one focused on things like boundary transgressions of various sorts, their generational ripples, and the ability to decide that enough is enough.

One excellent way to navigate this dynamic today may to articulate the different views you have on a situation, particularly the role your desire is playing in it and your options for taking action. This should help you to avoid repressing energy that could make things complicated if you stay in denial of it. Later this evening, Mercury leaves its post-retrograde shadow (or echo) phase and enters new zodiacal territory for the first time in two months.
