“The Earth reminded us of a Christmas tree ornament hanging in the blackness of space. As we got farther and farther away it diminished in size. Finally it shrank to the size of a marble, the most beautiful marble you can imagine. That beautiful, warm, living object looked so fragile, so delicate, that if you touched it with a finger it would crumble and fall apart. Seeing this has to change a man.”
— James Irwin

If Your Birthday is March 17
(The Day of the Aerialist) | Pisces Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Your 2nd house — representing what you value — has been the site of era-defining astrology this past year. It’s possible that such things as your values and principles, your body, your most cherished possessions and finances or your self-esteem have been thrown into chaos, or have provoked unexpected developments. If you could travel out to a distant planet and look back at yourself, it might be easier to see this time as the beginning of a new cycle, which it is. Remember what you’ve learned as you head into the next year, and stay present in your potential to serve the greater whole.

Written in the Planets
Today is the third and final exact contact of the Uranus-Eris conjunction, which has been a wild ride to say the least (you can read a wealth of articles about it here). Yet a conjunction begins a new cycle between the planets involved — and for everybody on the planet. So you might appreciate it down the road if you take some time to be intentional with your actions today. A companion aspect further suggests that you take some responsibility for where you put your focus and for getting your facts straight. It might feel like a struggle in this warp-speed, disembodied digital age, but the dividends it will likely pay are priceless — even if they’re not all immediate.

If Your Birthday is March 16
(The Day of Realistic Inspiration) | Pisces Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
It’s important to distinguish between conscience and guilt. A firm moral compass helps you to make ethically sound, compassionate choices. Guilt has more of a tendency to bring you down — and usually the pleasures we feel guilty for, in the quantities we seek them, are quite harmless. By all means check in with your core values, but don’t let irrational self-reproach spoil healthy enjoyments. Rather, trust yourself.

Written in the Planets
Today sees a couple of contacts with Sedna, a planetoid with a whopping orbit of 11,400 years. Sedna seems to indicate the underlying ocean of feelings beneath the calm surface we tend to present. You might find yourself getting in touch with some of those emotions, and then being able to articulate them with full consciousness, whether to others or just to yourself. This will probably require space, time and patience; the payoff would most likely be an increase in self-knowledge and self-acceptance, and an understanding of where you need to be.

If Your Birthday is March 15
(The Day of the Heights) | Pisces Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
It may seem like all the change-making fireworks and revolution are happening outside of you. And while that is certainly going on, be sure you’re not missing the deeper truth about what you’re witnessing, which would be easy to disbelieve: an even more profound process of rebirth is happening within you. To facilitate that — including the need to heal the inner spaces you’re clearing out — use today to draw up a plan. The universe has wisdom to offer if you turn your full attention to the task and ask for help.

Written in the Planets
Do you feel ready to usher yourself into some new phase — particularly something regarding your body, sexual energy, material wealth or persistence in something? Today Mars in Taurus conjoins the unnamed minor planet 1992 QB1. Despite lacking the mythology that would go with a named object, 1992 QB1 seems to be associated with crossing a threshold, or with holding space to assist others who are crossing into a new phase of being. You may feel called to go “beyond the known and into the unknown as a voluntary experience of saying yes,” as was written about QB1 in the Planet Waves annual Small World Stories years ago. Know that passion and patience can indeed work hand in hand as you proceed.

If Your Birthday is March 14
(The Day of Relativity) | Pisces Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
When you feed your body properly, it has a positive effect on your emotions. Likewise, your emotional, psychic and energetic spheres have a direct effect on how you feel physically. Chances are you have a subtle yet very accurate ‘inner early warning system’ that tells you when any part of this equation is out of balance, or when you’ve let someone else’s ‘stuff’ in too far. Actively respond to this dynamic today, by feeling into what you need and then making sure you give that to yourself in tangible, physical ways. Practice what you learn for maximum support.

Written in the Planets
Today we experience a beautiful conjunction of the Sun, the asteroid Pallas and the centaur Chiron in Pisces. As described in Monday’s Astrology Diary letter, “This grouping says that unusual wisdom is available, which can help you heal what ails you, be it physical, spiritual or both.” Ideally, you’ll use this energy first by figuring out what issue or problem you want to focus on. Draw up a loose strategy and ask for help as you need it, then notice what unfolds and who crosses your path. Sun-Pallas-Chiron is personal-scale energy. You can trust that what comes to your attention this week is worth noticing, documenting and working with.

Monday Morning Astrology

I’m sending this to all of our lists today. If you’re already a subscriber, thank you for making Planet Waves possible. We do what we do without advertising or corporate sponsorship. We’ve been supported by our readers since 2002. Response to our current membership drive has been amazing — the best ever. (Here is yesterday’s letter, about how astrology can help the time crisis.)

Thank you for making all of our lives easier here, which we will pass along to you in the form of improved service.

This is our Monday Morning letter. It’s what we send to help you get your week started off right. In this letter we include my weekly horoscope (on Thursdays we send you a longer article and one of the monthly horoscopes).

This is an extraordinary week. There are two conjunctions, both distinctive, though on Friday we experience the extremely rare conjunction of Uranus and Eris. That began last year; with outer planets, there are usually three meetings (a visual illusion related to the Earth’s orbit of the Sun). Friday is the third and last Uranus-Eris meeting; the two begin to separate and will not form another conjunction until April 28, 2106.

First, a comment about Tuesday’s alignment of the Sun, Pallas and Chiron in Pisces. This is rare and beautiful for a few reasons. For Pallas, the goddess of strategy, wisdom and protection, it’s the last conjunction to Chiron in Pisces. Chiron is associated with healing, with standing apart, and with the long struggle to focus one’s strength.

On Tuesday, the Sun aligns with these two points, which is saying: pay attention to this! It’s a peak moment for Chiron in Pisces, now in its last full year. This grouping says that unusual wisdom is available, which can help you heal what ails you, be it physical, spiritual or both. Astrology describes what’s available, and this most certainly is.

If Your Birthday is March 13
(The Day of Fateful Prediction) | Pisces Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
A concept you’ve been developing could take off, though you might need to tweak some of the finer elements. Be sure to communicate the progress of your thoughts as clearly and rationally as possible. Keep things actively on track, and plan steps logically as far as you can; also make use of your resources, including any willing minds with whom you can bounce ideas around.

Written in the Planets
Mercury enters Aries today after making an angle to Pholus. You may experience something of a boost to your brainpower; you may perhaps feel as if you are beginning to wake from a long sleep. This alteration might produce all sorts of ideas, though you’ll likely need to apply some focus in order to prevent them heading off in tangential directions. The influence of close friends or partners, especially, may help you stay firmly on the desired path.

If Your Birthday is March 12
(The Day of the Great Leap) | Pisces Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Your natural intuitive abilities could be reaching further than usual just now. It’s not always easy to put a feeling into words, but you are currently being visited by precisely that genie. It may well be useful, over the next few days at least, to carry around something to write with and something to write on.

Written in the Planets
Today’s Full Moon may provide a useful way for you to balance out and process your emotions. Possibly it will also help you to manifest any creative or imaginative ideas, especially with a Mercury-Saturn square in the immediate vicinity. First, ensure you are in a place where you feel relatively safe and grounded. Once there, allow yourself free rein to feel and desire; what you might make out of the results is up to you.

If Your Birthday is March 11
(The Day of Progressive Intuition) | Pisces Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
It’s important to remember that anybody is capable of anything, including yourself. That applies to the creative vision you might have for your life, but it also applies to the potential to abandon one’s ethics. Today’s astrology comes with a reminder to reality-check yourself regarding what you believe you’re doing. Checking in does not mean that you’ve gone astray. It simply means that you care enough — about the people around you, about your karma, about your true purpose — to make a point of keeping your conscience in the loop.

Written in the Planets
Today looks like a good day to feed your erotic side. With asteroids Ceres and Eros conjunct in Taurus, the implication is to do so in tangible, physical, multi-sensory ways. That said, you are likely well aware that arousal often starts in the mind. As luck would have it, Ceres and Eros are making a trine to Psyche in Virgo. While Psyche is known for representing some kind of psychological wound that feels like it cannot heal, a trine is a supportive, harmonious aspect. One way of reading this is that by starting with what feels good physically, you might be able to smooth over some kind of persistent mental block, hang-up of self-criticism when it comes to sex (solo or with a partner). This might not be the last time you need to address this specific issue, but that’s okay: healing often comes in layers. And this layer looks like a nourishing one.

If Your Birthday is March 10
(The Day of the Soul Searchers) | Pisces Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Caring and devotion come naturally to you. Seeing the creative richness in an issue with multiple sides — though sometimes tense or provoking — is squarely in your wheelhouse. What might be trickier, however, is getting a clear view of your beliefs. Not all of them are based in fact or reality, though you’re pretty in touch with your intuition. Any opportunity to step away, fact-check yourself and broaden your perspective will be beneficial these days.

Written in the Planets
With Mars newly in Taurus, notice whether your ambition, stamina or erotic energy find a new level, tone or pace of expression. Remember that everything has its cycles, and a slight shift need not be concerning. It simply bears observing, and then adjusting your approach or expectations of yourself. Note also that tonight into tomorrow, Mercury conjoins Chiron in Pisces. Track your awareness of your sensitivity, especially in terms of your intuition, environment and emotional responses. If something upsets you, it’s worth trying to follow it as deeply as you can, since Chiron is known for provoking discomfort in the service of better self-understanding. Newfound understanding often precipitates a desire to act; though with the Action Planet (Mars) in the sign of the bull, you might find yourself moving methodically. Chiron simply asks that you take notes along the way.
