Forecast for March 8-21
An overabundance of optimism can derail your plans when the sun collides with expansive Jupiter on the 9th. Realism resumes when Jupiter dances with Saturn on the 16th-18th, an excellent time for taking practical steps toward your dream. Dreams and practicality merge again when Venus enters grounded, sensual Taurus on the 17th and Mercury enters idealistic Pisces on the 18th: a divine combination for creativity and romance, emphasized by the new moon in Pisces on the 18th. Next, intensity soars when the sun squares off against power-hungry Pluto on the 19th. On the positive side, this influence encourages the elimination of emotional and material junk, which can clear the way for a new path that opens up after the spring equinox on the 20th.
