Horoscopes: March 22nd thru the 29th

Astronomers on Athos from Mandeville’s Travels

For the Lunar Eclipse at 5º Libra for your sign or your natal house (if you know it):

Aries

(7th House) The Lunar Eclipse on Monday will be significant for many Aries people, but it will be those born between March 21st and the 30th, or those with personal points at 1º thru 9ª of Aries, who will be most sensitive to this Lunar Eclipse in Libra. It is not unusual when the eclipses are in Aries and Libra that significant connections and/or partings can occur in our lives. All the more so when they also fall in your natal 7th House as this one does. During the 18  months that the South Node is in Libra it can even feel as if the Fates are colluding to bring some people together while parting others in order to fulfill their destiny. And so it is not unusual to see great beginnings and great endings in major relationships when the eclipses occur. This can represent a new phase in a relationship, or a significant change in your partner’s life or status that also indirectly affects you as well. South Node eclipses can sometimes bring endings and changes such as these, that can even feel like ‘the time is well nigh due’. But also know that if something is ending, it is also opening up opportunities for a new way of being. One thing that is likely is that because of the important relationships in your life, you and the way that you see yourself and others, may never be quite the same again. With the South Node now in Libra, matters will come to the forefront concerning: Partners, Competitors, Close friends, counselors, Advisors, Mentors, Clients, your Audience, and the Outside World.

Taurus

(6th House) The Aries North Node (now in your Solar or natal 12th house) is asking all of us to get off the fence, stop kicking the can down the road, and put some of the focus back on your own self and well-being. This may require you to make some changes, and re-center your focus. In the past much of your focus may have been concerned with the well-being of others. And this may have been true up to a certain point. But there is also something to be said for remembering to put on your own oxygen mask first. We may think that by sacrificing our own needs in order to make more time for other’s needs and expectations will ultimately make our lives easier. But at a certain point all that personal sacrifice will become unsustainable. The North Node in Aries is going to be asking you: What feeds your Soul? What meaningful activities will bring more energy and excitement into your life? You may think that if you fix everyone else then you will be happier. But actually when you put the focus back on yourself and your own needs, then everyone else will be happier as well. Expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Your work, your job, Co-workers, the Work environment, Health, Health Providers, those things that Support your Health and Well-being or the health and well-being of others; Diet, Routines, and personal Regimens

Gemini

(5th House) For Gemini, the Lunar Eclipse in Libra is shining a light on all those things that you have created and/or lost with your heart and soul. Lunar Eclipses are about culminations, where things are being brought to completion, or some sort of ending. As a result these can be times winged with sadness for what we are leaving behind. It is also about letting go of what once was, or what could have or should have been. In order to see the new possibilities that are imminent and getting ready to bloom, you will first need to let some things go. This Eclipse gives the possibility for transformation, and the ability to rise out of the ashes of what once was. What is then created out of these ashes will be that much more beautiful and meaningful, because of how they are invested with the tears of your once cherished dreams and love stories. Take those stories and the wisdom gained from your own heart-felt experiences and invest it in all that you do. Expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Children, to Love and be Loved and Admired, Romance, Sporting events, being free to more fully Express Yourself, Embracing what is Special and Unique about yourself.

Cancer

(4th House) It is not unusual in the years that the eclipses are in Libra, as it is with Monday’s Lunar Eclipse, that some sort of shift can take place in your personal life. People find it necessary to move, or someone that you had assumed would always be there chooses to move in a new direction. It could also be that certain family members are dealing with some sort of crisis or change in their lives. As a result of any ongoing circumstances you find yourself compelled to re-think where you are living and who you are living with. With South Node Eclipses, such as this one, there can even be a feeling of sadness, especially if there are any separations taking place, or a parting from what once seemed so familiar and what you were accustomed to. Whether that means leaving that nifty little apartment, or saying goodby to that roommate. Eclipses are like turning points, where endings and beginnings can merge, leaving us scratching our heads. Know also that we can’t necessarily see the larger picture. And that these changes can also open up doors and possibilities for better opportunities in the future. Like mystical guides, the Fates are conspiring to bring you where you need to be in order to fulfill your destiny. Expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Home, Family, One of your Parents, Family members, Early Childhood Memories, the Ancestors, Homeland, your Supportive Community, and the End of a Matter.

Leo

(3rd House) What you hear, what you learn, and what you see can have a transformational effect on your mind and perspective with the Lunar Eclipse falling in Libra on March 25th. This can be due to something you read, something you are studying, or something you learn. Even random conversations with neighbors, or other people in your everyday life that you casually speak to can make you feel as if you are not quite fitting in. Even the once so familiar now seems to be changing. Some changes can bring improvements, but at other times it can feel as if something precious is missing, or has been taken away, leaving a vacant lot and a void in your hearts. At these times it can remind us to better appreciate and support those things in our everyday lives that we often take so much for granted, like the small independent shops, the struggling neighbor down the street, or that community garden that you keep meaning to join. It’s the small things that can make all the difference. Expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Your neighbors and neighborhood and the area in which you live; your car, vehicle or mode of transportation, your daily commute, Siblings, Old Classmates, the News, and what you are learning, observing and hearing.

Virgo

(2nd House) What are you spending your valuable time, money and resources on? And what is that one ‘thing’ that you think you can’t possibly live without, even though you know you can? You know that feeling where you just CAN’T exist without that extremely expensive pair of shoes that keep popping up in your on-line feed, luring you with their exquisiteness. Or that gorgeous antique vase that taunts you. Or that one luxury that you just absolutely must have. Know that retail shopping is not going to fill whatever spaces are needing to be filled. It’s not stuff or that chocolate cake that is needed right now. It’s a sort of faith. A faith that you have enough already. And that includes having faith that you are enough. Talented enough. Wise enough. Educated enough. Skillful enough. Attractive enough. And no amount of spending will fix that. Listen to your wallet, and make the distinction between what you really need, and what you are merely craving. Then see what you can do to further cultivate the self-confidence that what you have to offer the world is enough. Expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Finances, Possessions, Investments, Sustainability, Self-worth, Self-esteem, your true Priorities, and Survival.

Libra

(1st House) The Lunar Eclipse on March 25th is in the sign of Libra, and will most likely impact those Librans born between September 23rd and October 1st, or who have sensitive placements between 1º and 9º of Libra. However all Librans are bound to feel the shift when the eclipses fall in their sign, as these often indicate significant turning points in our lives. Lunar Eclipses are times of culmination in which we see the ramifications of choices and decisions made in the past. These are also times of completion and even endings, all the more so when accompanied by the South Node, as this one is. Lastly Lunar Eclipses can also be revealing. And whatever comes to light within the bounds of the Eclipse can have such an impact that your life will never feel quite the same again. And if there were certain changes that you’ve been wanting to make, these eclipses have this way of helping you to facilitate those changes, but perhaps not without having to make some sacrifices in the process, for that is the nature of the South Node. And that can include having to release any old patterns or tendencies that are no longer serving you, and are preventing you from growing and evolving. And so when the eclipses fall in your sign as this one does, there could also be a strong focus on self-improvement and self-renewal. Expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Your Self, your Body, your Appearance, your Health, your Environment, and Personal Self-development.

Scorpio

(12th House) In order to pay better attention to what is right in front of you now,  the Lunar Eclipse is asking you to relinquish some things from the past in order for you to move forward. The South Node in Libra and Mars entering Pisces on Friday, are asking you to release those things and/or people that are no longer serving your best interests, and are standing in the way of your growth and progress. That includes anyone or anything that instead of sustaining you, are just exhausting and draining you. It can even feel with these South Node Eclipses, such as the one we are having early Monday, that we are needing to put some things to rest, once and for all. Just as you would if you were cleaning out a cluttered closet, you are being asked to clear out some of the mental rubbish and cobwebs that are cluttering your psyche. Whether these are old fears about being alone, or inner dialogues that are no longer valid for who you are now, in some way you are needing to discard these old narratives to make way for better ones to fill their place. But as you clean out the cobwebs from the past, also pay attention to that old box in the corner filled with the dreams and the talents of a life well lived. These too can be found here. And like a box of old mementos, dare to open it without regret, judgment or remorse, knowing that this is the treasure that was hidden beneath all the other stuff. It was just a matter of digging it out. Expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: The Past; Secrets; the Forgotten; Endings; Partings; Releasing and Letting Go; Dreams; and our Subconscious drives.

Sagittarius

(11th House) A lot of the pieces on the game board of life are being reshuffled as we enter Eclipse Season. Beginning with the Lunar Eclipse there could be a few new surprises and events. This may find you having to recalibrate your plans and hopes for the future. With your ruling planet Jupiter edging ever closer to illuminating Uranus, this Eclipse Season could also bring an incredible amount of restlessness and perhaps a little bon vivant and even a bit of festivity thrown in. But what may be more important with the Lunar Eclipse this week, are the ways that you have outgrown your previous hopes and dreams. It is time to recalibrate your aspirations and dreams so that they are more suited for the person you are now, and are becoming. And if you feel that you have come up against a wall, and cannot go any further with a particular dream, use that as a barometer, as to what needs releasing, and where you have outgrown your previous life. Eclipses can close doors. But they can then open new doors that are more appropriate for your evolutionary growth. And in order to walk through that door that is opening up before you, you first have to stop looking so longingly at the door that is closing behind you. Expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Friendships, People or groups you are connected to; Shared Ideals; Networks; Social Media; Hopes and Aspirations for the Future.

Capricorn

(10th House) The Lunar Eclipse on March 25th (or 24th) will be especially potent for those Capricorns born between December 22nd and the 30th, or who have 1-9º of Capricorn Rising, however many Capricorns will feel the shift as we enter Eclipse season this week. This eclipse could be particularly intense in regards to future goals, your reputation and/or status, and how these will also impact your personal life and decisions concerning these. Great beginnings, as well as endings can occur when the eclipses spin their webs and weave our destinies. There are changes afoot, and it is probably best to wait until the dust settles before making any major changes or definite plans. This is because eclipses can be oh so unpredictable! Therefore be willing to roll with this series of eclipses where both endings and beginnings seem to merge. Know what we can’t always see the larger picture. And what may seem like a detour or a disappointment, can open the way for you to fulfill some greater purpose. It’s almost like having to pass through some sort of initiation. And all you can do is walk through the door that the eclipses are opening, and see what is waiting on the other side. Expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Your personal or public Status, One or more Role that you are known for, Your Reputation, Career, Goals, Destiny, Your Boss, Authorities, the place you Work For, One of your Parents

Aquarius

(9th House) The truth is not necessarily found in some mystical foreign land, or in a cave tucked into the side of a mountain. Often the truth can be found more close at hand in the more mundane quarters of our lives. The Lunar Eclipse on Monday can find many an Aquarius scratching their heads as previous assumptions, beliefs and ideas are being questioned or turned around. Lunar Eclipses are times of culmination, completion and endings. All the more so when accompanied by the South Node, when you are given permission to change your mind, and perhaps even some of your beliefs. Any ideas or assumptions that are getting in the way of your evolutionary growth will be challenged during the 19 months that the eclipses fall in Aries and Libra. And sometimes we have to be content with not having all the answers. When we are ready to humbly listen and be open to learning, that’s when true knowledge and understanding can be achieved. And never is this more possible than when the Sun, Moon and the Earth are in such perfect alignment as they are with the Eclipses. You can expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Religious, Political or other Beliefs, Travel, Journeys, Education, Certifications, Courts of Law, Legal Decisions, Relatives and Places overseas or far away.

Pisces

(8th House) The Lunar Eclipse on Monday is pointing you towards the natural ebb and flow of the cycle of reciprocity, the cycle of giving and receiving. When a pond receives enough fresh water, it is better able to thrive and grow. But if there isn’t a continuous flow of fresh clean water coming in, the pond can become stagnant, or dry up. The creatures that live within it will no longer flourish, and the pond will fail to thrive. Too much water and not enough drainage and the pond will become flooded and overflow its banks. So it is in our lives when this cycle becomes imbalanced, leaving you feeling drained, and/or under-appreciated, or taking on too much and feeling overwhelmed and underpaid. What might you need to release in order to restore the natural balance in your life? What are you so desperately holding on to that is depleting your coffers? These eclipses can impact income and your relationship to material self-worth over the next year. It can even change the way you feel about money, spending, wealth and ownership in general. But not without addressing whatever it is that has caused this sacred cycle of giving and receiving to become imbalanced. You can expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Life, Death, Rebirth, Renewal, Receiving, Marketing, Shared resources, Debts, Loans, Taxes, Investments, Inheritances, Wills, Sexuality, Surgery, Rehabilitation, Old Contracts, Habits, Addictions and Attachments.
