With heavy, looming events at play in the world and among the stars, the Sun is shining on seekers of truth. We don’t have it easy.
The Sun this week is sextile Uranus, which is the planet of both revolution and the humanities. It also starts its conjunction with Neptune later in the week, so just as soon as we start to see things more clearly the dust will be kicked up again. We have our work cut out for us, but that doesn’t mean it’s better to give up and live in a world of delusions.
Mars squares Uranus, throwing more fuel on the fires of war. The planets are not offering help with the resolution of the humanitarian crises of our world. Saturday, March 9 may be a particularly rough day of conflict on Earth. Meanwhile, Saturn’s sextile with Jupiter can represent either a concerted effort to keep things the same or an opportunity to alter course.
There is a lot of energy magnified on Aquarius, Pisces, and Taurus right now. Which means those signs are feeling most intensely the effects of watching a world intent on burning itself to the ground.
I wish the stars were offering a brighter perspective this week, but I’m afraid the best we can do is consider confronting the consequences of reality together, heads fully out of the sand and looking to the long view: generations from now, people will feel the ripple effect of our choices today.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
Look out, as some of your choices may be influenced by false information. Don’t assume anything. Get all the details before taking action.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
Allow yourself to absorb what you’ve been experiencing, even if it’s difficult. Stop and breathe; move slowly through this week.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Whether you’re wading through heavy emotional waters right now or floating above the fray, it’s best not to ignore what you see. Embrace the lessons of the world.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
This week is going to feel like you’re dodging bullets left and right, Matrix-style. When moving through other people’s messes, don’t take on what you can’t handle.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
This week is separating you from the struggles you’ve been facing so you can see them from a new perspective. Take a look so you can figure out how to come to a resolution.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
Prioritizing peace may feel easy. But consider what falsehoods you are accepting in order to do that.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
You can intellectualize your problems all you want, but if you’re not actively working to solve them you’re just playing mind games. Make a choice and commit to it already.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
If you’re in the habit of using manipulative tactics to get your way, know that it’s possible that strategy will blow up in your face this week. I see you, Scorpio.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
Learning a lesson is a choice. Be on the lookout for learning opportunities this week and ask yourself what moves you are making to take them.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
Choices beyond your control infuriate you, don’t they, Capricorn? You’re noticing that you can’t make the Moon and stars do what you want them to. It’s true: their movements don’t revolve around you.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
Just breathe through this week. As things balance themselves out you will find motivation in new, healthier directions.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
There’s a lot being thrown at you lately, and this week is no different. Yet you continue to stay afloat. You’ll be OK if you keep that slow and steady momentum.
