Astrology forecast for March. 27-April 9
By Cortney Litwin/Staff Writer
Even fools get a brand new start during the New Moon in Aries on April 1. Then Jupiter, the planet that bestows bounty and benevolence, assists once again with manifesting big dreams after turning direct on April 3, which means plans that have been sunk in quicksand since the gentle-giant planet turned retrograde last December should finally begin to move forward.
And speaking of retrograde, Pluto’s “backward” transit began last week, encouraging us to do some soul- and psyche-searching.
Fools in love will find romance especially tantalizing when Venus moves into idealistic Pisces on March 27, with the added electrifying energy of creative-and sometimes shocking-Uranus.
