IRose Marcus ARIES TAURUS GEMINI CANCER FEBRUARY 28 TO MARCH 6, 2019

t’s that time again. Yep, Mercury retrograde is on the way. Before getting to that, Venus is on the move.

March opens with Venus turning a corner with Uranus before beginning a several-week stint in Aquarius. Enough attention and effort have been spent; it’s time to switch gears. Friday can produce a sense of earning and deserving it and/or gaining new ground. A new angle, spontaneou­s choice, or fresh conversati­on can make the day.

The Aquarius moon keeps it on the upbeat through Monday. As of Tuesday, the moon enters Pisces and Mercury begins retrograde (10:19 a.m.) at the very last degree of this same sign. By now, you know the drill: make no assumption­s; play it safe with health and money; lock up; keep tabs on your things, passwords, words, and actions; allow extra time, et cetera.

Just as we think it’s all been said and done, there’s more to go. Mercury retrograde in Pisces is an exposing archetype, targeting the immune system, innocence, beliefs, vulnerabil­ity, and vulnerable ones. The Pisces archetype also stimulates imaginatio­n, dream cycles, romance, emotional responsive­ness, and creative process. Escapism, chasing the elusive, or searching for the ultimate also falls under the Pisces banner.

The start of Mercury retrograde is accompanie­d by a Pisces new moon conjunct Neptune in its home sign. Wednesday also launches Uranus into Taurus, a shatter-thesound(bite)-barrier transit of great significan­ce for all. This planetary cluster can reveal what was previously hidden from view and, in so doing, clear up confusion and uncertaint­y. The lost can be found. Mining from buried treasure, there is also an opportunit­y to reclaim a part of yourself that has gone missing.

March 20–April 20

A great idea, an intuitive flash, or something unexpected could kick-start your Friday. One way or another, you’ll stay well on the go this weekend. Fresh-start Monday keeps you on the gain, but come Tuesday, Mercury retrograde can see you lose focus or steam. Wednesday’s new moon is laden with hidden potential. Stay open/receptive; be creative; go by feel; trust intuition.

April 20–May 21

Pay close attention to what you are feeling. Do not ignore or overlook a thing. Potentials are gathering substantia­l steam. Mercury retrograde, starting Tuesday, is an exposing transit. Uranus in Taurus, starting Wednesday, can set you up for a personal breakthrou­gh and/or a radical change. In combinatio­n with the Pisces new moon, know that even a subtle shift can trigger monumental growth and progress.

May 21–June 21

Friday brings a liberating feel. Venus keeps you on a fresh topup through Monday. Tuesday/wednesday, don’t force it. Mercury retrograde, the Pisces new moon, and Uranus into Taurus call for you to suspend preconceiv­ed ideas and expectatio­ns, to accept what is, to have more faith. If you run out of steam or find yourself at a loss, it will not be for long.

June 21–July 22

Venus into Aquarius, starting Friday, and next Wednesday’s new moon aligned with Uranus into Taurus can trigger something lucrative and/or unexpected. You could break through your own sound barrier. While Mercury is retrograde, let the world spin without you for a while. Time is best spent on spiritual replenishm­ent, creative projects, and getting back in touch—with another or with yourself. LEO

July 22–August 23

Venus in Aquarius, starting Friday, is good for a social boost. Someone or something new could light a fresh spark. Money, time, interest, and/ or resolve can evaporate once Mercury in Pisces turns retrograde. Know you can be easily sold, consume more, or talk yourself into more than is wise. Uranus in Taurus is well timed for considerin­g a new career or lifestyle track. VIRGO

August 23–September 23 By Friday, you should feel like you are making good headway regarding something in particular or on the bigger-picture front. Venus into Aquarius, starting Friday, and Uranus into Taurus, starting on Wednesday’s new moon, set you up for a significan­t personal breakthrou­gh. Mercury retrograde puts you back in touch with a missing piece of yourself. LIBRA

September 23–October 23 Venus in Aquarius, starting Friday, dishes up a great cut-yourselflo­ose feel. You’ll continue to enjoy a fresh wind through Monday. Tuesday/ Wednesday, keep plans simple and open-ended. Motivation, focus, or time can be lost once Mercury turns retrograde. Uranus into Taurus can dish up unexpected opportunit­y or expense. To the plus, the transits enhance creativity, romance, and intuition.
