MARCH! It sounds like an order, doesn’t it? Well, if it is an order, no one is particularly obeying. In the Northern Hemisphere everyone gets excited because it’s supposed to be the first month of Spring. In the Southern Hemisphere it’s the alleged start of Autumn. In Ecuador? Business as usual, mostly. Really though, March often delivers the promise of hope for positive change without quite delivering. Why is that? Because maybe you should be paying more attention to the Void of Course Moon, that’s why! Read on…
***
This month, Mercury enters Pisces and gets a bit fuzzy with the details, Venus enters Taurus and starts thinking about finally settling down after a wild ride in Aries, and Saturn goes retrograde at almost-but-not-quite 5 degrees Sagittarius (look out, late Scorpio, Saturn’s coming back!).
March 20th also sees the first Solar Eclipse of 2015, just half a day before the Sun enters Aries. If that sounds significant to you… you’d probably be right. Come back later to that date for details.
As always, the devil is in the details, and despite all the larger transits happening, you’ve got to keep an eye on The Moon… particularly when it’s a Void of Course Moon. If you’re unfamiliar with what that phenomenon means, click here. If you want to know how best to handle those times, click here. In general though, just try to avoid starting or completing any important projects or making important agreements when the Moon is Void and you’ll be all right.
