Hello dear Readers and Friends, I made a decision last year to quit writing about the world and focus instead on the magical journey of individuals. The same miracles are unfolding for people just like always, even as the world continues in crisis…
When I saw the transits for March 2023, I felt like I owed it to my readers to share my thoughts about the timing of events. No doubt you have already read other astrologers’ opinions about how difficult March will be. And it’s true that there is more and more pressure in our lives. Some astrologers predict more disasters, more disease, more war, more economic problems, etc. The weather is certainly difficult…those of you who travel or who work in transportation will need to be careful and observant in March.
Gemini rules cars, trains, buses and big trucks. Mars has been transiting Gemini since last August 2022. Mars was pretty close to the square with transiting Neptune late October. Now Mars is finishing this transit in Gemini and will square transiting Neptune for most of the month. Neptune rules the seas, so ferries and boats may be at risk. I would sure like to be wrong !!! Look at Florida, for example, a Pisces state. Hurricane damage to thousands of boats, bridges broken, flooding everywhere and an environmental disaster in the making…
I live in the Pacific NW and here it’s mostly been trucks jackknifed or tipped over and closing main highways for hours. A lot of snow and ice. But there have been some train incidents, too. Look at Ohio in the news right now, people afraid to live in their homes because the derailed train was carrying toxic chemicals. Stricter safety rules need to be put back in place.
I think March will manifest more transportation problems. As an individual, starting with March 7th, you might want to plan any necessary trips as carefully as possible and if a trip is not necessary, consider delaying until March 26th. Mars enters Cancer March 25th.
I see the pressure shifting onto the mutable signs as Saturn leaves Aquarius and enters Pisces on 3/7/2023. Saturn brings up areas of our lives where we are weak or need to learn important lessons. Saturn transits are usually harder for younger people. Since Saturn rules old age, often the older people will achieve the satisfaction of big accomplishments. A lot depends on each individual’s chart. Already, I seem to have more mutable sign clients — Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius.
Pluto enters Aquarius, just at 0 degrees from 3/23/23 to 6/11/23. Workers want clean air if they have to go back to the office. Filters will become more important, and aerosol and nasal sprays will be invented to prevent illness. Of course, that might not happen in the first few months of a 20 year transit, but that will be the trend. Workers want to be treated decently and respectfully. Labor unions will grow stronger.
I think Neptune is the hardest planet to understand. The ruler of Pisces, 2 fish swimming in opposite directions…the highest of the high and the lowest of the low. Which side do you want to be on? What we’re doing to the ocean is blasphemous. The pressure is growing to clean up the planet. Neptune is not just the sea, it’s all of nature in general — the wetlands, the forests, the farmlands, the animals, etc. It’s already been proven that people are healthier when they have green spaces, even in the cities. Smart countries are starting to learn from their indigenous people how to preserve nature.
So, I think with Neptune and the transiting square from Mars, we will see and hear a lot of dishonest statements in March, hypocrisy, leaders blaming someone else, talking out of both sides of their mouth, etc. I think it is very important spiritually, that we be honest with ourselves and follow our conscience. Starting with small things, the choices we make, give your best to each day and that’s how we’ll get through this difficult time. And if you are meant to have a larger role in helping fix problems, that information will be presented to you, spiritually. Stay alert to signs, symbols, your dreams, and coincidences that are really messages.
Meanwhile, the mutable signs, Gemini, Virgo, Sag, and Pisces, will be feeling the pressure, all year but particularly in March. Everyone has these signs somewhere in their chart and some people have more PLANETS in mutable signs in their BIRTH charts. There’s help out there if you need it.
The best decision are made by sitting quietly and listening to your heart. Best wishes and good luck, Jenae
