STARGAZING
With Norma R. Hagan
PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THESE DATES:
Two full moons—one on March 2 at 11 degrees Virgo and Pisces, and one on March 31 at 10 degrees Libra and Aries—will cause emotions to rise significantly.
New moon on March 17 at 26 degrees Pisces makes this the day to take action on what you really want. It will be a very happy St. Patty’s Day!
New moon on April 16 at 26 degrees Aries is an excellent day to sign up for a new class or start a new project.
Full moon on April 30 at 9 degrees Scorpio and Taurus is good for both signs to accomplish tasks.
Mercury goes retrograde March 23 and direct on April 15, so plan important events before March 23 or after April 15.
The Personal Signs
ARIES (MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20) The planets are set to change your employment situation. Be careful that a new job is really one you want. By the end of April retrograde planets may be urging you to go back to your old job. Opportunities may not be as good as they first appear, so be ultra-careful what you decide to do. A nice vacation would be in order so you can relax and think about what you want.
TAURUS (APRIL 21 TO MAY 20) Saturn, the planet that rules work, is trine Taurus (meaning it is in harmony), making your employment go well, so you are in line for a raise and/or promotion. Venus, your ruler, which is called the “lesser benefic,” is going direct and is favorable for both March and April. Jupiter, the planet of good luck, called the “greater benefic,” is now providing a protective aura for you. The planets are lining up to favor you. Enjoy!
GEMINI (MAY 21 TO JUNE 20) Mercury, your ruler, in Aries for most of March and April, is likely to bring new ideas, situations and people into your life. You have a quick, active mind and probably need to analyze how you want to spend your time and who you want to bring into your life. New places are always interesting to you. You make a super newspaper reporter; your forte is reading, writing and communicating.
CANCER (JUNE 21 TO JULY 22) The moon is your ruler, so two full moons in March should keep you very busy. Don’t accept more work than you want to handle. Others often expect you to help with their projects and answer their questions—and you like to help—but you need extra rest and relaxation now, so slow down.
LEO (JULY 23 TO AUGUST 22) The best time for you will be after April 15 when things you have been wondering about will become clear. You’ll understand more and be able to make better decisions when Mercury trines your ruler, the sun, and goes direct in Aries. These are two coinciding good influences that you should take advantage of by thinking about how to improve your life.
VIRGO (AUGUST 23 TO SEPTEMBER 22) With the planet Saturn now in Capricorn, your life has gotten easier. Worries seem to have diminished, thank heavens! Consider writing a how-to book or a memoir. You know how to convey what you know succinctly, and you enjoy writing.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 TO OCTOBER 22) Your ruler, Venus, promises lots of entertainment and fun events. Buy yourself tickets—airline tickets to visit relatives, and theater tickets. You like to have a good time with friends. Your best zodiac companions are Tauruses, Sagittarians and Leos.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 TO NOVEMBER 22) You are in a great zodiac cycle, so you should take advantage of it by enrolling in a course on the stock market. Or take an advanced class in a subject you are already familiar with and that will benefit your future. Medical training that will help you help others may be more your style. In any case, do something to improve your ability to get ahead. It’s favored.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21) Sagittarians are still celebrating their newfound freedom and are in a mood to live it up. With Saturn gone from Sagittarius, they can go back to doing what they want when they want! Sags are the zodiac’s most happy fellows, and they are busy booking vacations to foreign countries and/or trying out brand new ideas that strike them as fun.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 19) Your ruler, Saturn, is currently in your sign, providing you with multiple ways to improve your life and get ahead financially. It’s a time to work hard, study, go to school, take special courses and look for ways to find a career that you like. Capricorns, known for their solid dependability, are good businesspeople and tough negotiators.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 TO FEBRUARY 18) Uranus, your ruler, is currently bringing new people, places and events into your life. That suits you, as you like life to stay interesting. Learning new things is your forte, and if you can find a career that lets you discover, explore and implement new ideas, then you’re happy. You can easily conquer more than one career and should not ignore a desire to do more than one job.
PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 TO MARCH 20) Jupiter, the planet of good luck, is giving your sign a very favorable trine right now. It’s a good time to explore your dreams and not put off any fun trip you really want to do. You are sometimes artistic and think of things the rest of the zodiac does not. Mentally, you are often two or three jumps ahead of the crowd and have everything figured out. You surprise a lot of people.
