Three uplifting, rejuvenating influences begin the week when optimistic Jupiter, the planet of spiritual vision, merges with romantic Venus; communicative Mercury transits into philosophical Sagittarius; and the sun collides with idealistic Neptune (great for art, detrimental to clarity).
Saturn takes center stage on the 7th when the planet of hard work turns retrograde (through March 21), causing many of us to reevaluate past responsibilities and goals. Uranus offers a breath of fresh perspective when the planet of enlightenment turns direct on the 11th. Conflicting influences in romance make partnership decisions perilous when passionate Mars collides with stoic Saturn on the 6th-7th, followed closely by a dreamy dance between Venus and Neptune.
