Forecast for March 11-24
By Cortney Litwin / Special to The Malibu Times
Loving Venus colliding with subterranean Pluto on the 11th can prompt you to analyze and purge a troubling relationship issue. On a lighter note, a burst of optimism and goodwill accompanies the new moon in compassionate, intuitive Pisces on the 15th, which happens to connect with Mercury and Uranus. Expect a surprise, awakening or breakthrough during the next two weeks in the area of your life being touched by these influences (read your sign below for details). Next, Mercury enters Aries and trines Mars on the 17th, which fires up brainpower and communications. However, the Mercury-Saturn opposition on the next day can hinder discussions and negotiations. The sun entering Aries on the 20th ushers in the vernal equinox, but the accompanying Mercury-Pluto square can disrupt communications and travel. Prompting a tug-of-war on the 21st, the Sun-Mars trine favors taking action, while an opposition from Saturn can evoke a fear of moving forward.
If you know your rising sign from your time of birth, read that too.

Enlightening family interactions will be the gift of the new moon. You’ll be unusually innovative in improving your home environment, perhaps through the use of feng shui. Some exotic entertaining will bring satisfaction as well.
