It’s one of the biggest weeks of the year- every planet except Jupiter, Venus, Uranus and Pluto is in Aries, making a powerful stellium and a new moon in the sign of new beginnings. We had a Saturn/ Neptune conjunction at 0 degrees of Aries on February 20th of this year. Zero degree of Aries is known as the zodiac reset point. Whatever shift was marked by that conjunction gets a massive seeding this week. Because it’s in Aries, with Mars there, this week will be seeded by action. Whether actions of your own or the actions of others causing you to react, expect a bold dynamic week full of big moves.
Even just reviewing the rather long list of transits this week gives us the sense that a lot is happening at that same time. All times in EST.

Mars + Neptune 2*39’ Aries @ 1:30 am
Taurus Venus sextile Cancer Jupiter 16*47’ @ 4:20 am
We start with Mars making his first conjunction in Aries, meeting with Neptune at 2 degrees. Mars is at home in Aries but passing through Neptune’s fog might feel confusing, elusive or like a hall of mirrors. But Mars is also the sword, so you can cut through the fog and make your way across a situation that has been confusing you.
Venus in Taurus makes a sextile to Jupiter in Cancer. This is the most pleasant aspect of the week. Venus is at home in Taurus and Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, they are the two benefics, and they are in a minor harmonious aspect.
This is wonderful energy to take advantage of, especially if you have placements from 13* to 19* of Taurus or Cancer. But even if you don’t, this energy is great for a luxurious bubble bath, a spontaneous night out with friends, or just indulging in whatever you love. With such an action-packed week, it’s a good idea to nurture your needs under this energy so that you are fortified for the rest of the week.

Pisces Mercury sextile Taurus Uranus 29*24’ @ 1:10pm
Mercury —> Aries @ 11:21pm
Mercury makes a sextile to Uranus before moving into Aries at the end of the night. Mercury is a speedy planet, and it adds its energy to the Aries stellium now. Communication, locally-based movement and travel, and contracts could become part of the options available to us now.
With Saturn here, there is a need to go slow, read carefully, and follow the proper steps. If we don’t or we haven’t been up to now, there may be a road block or reality check when we arrive at next week.

Moon —> Aries @ 10:03 am
Moon + Mercury in Aries @ 11:15 am
Moon + Neptune in Aries @ 2:45 pm
Moon + Mars in Aries @ 6:08 pm
Aries Moon sextile Aquarius Pluto @ 7:15 pm
Moon + Saturn in Aries @ 7:15pm
Even though the “big” conjunctions happen on the weekend and early next week, this will be the day that triggers the domino effect of whatever is happening here. In transit astrology, the faster planet is considered the “trigger” and the moon is the fastest planet of all. Conjunctions from the moon especially trigger events into manifestation- she is the bringer of life, after all, the planet that rules over birthing a creation. When the moon passes over a planet, it births that planet’s energy into our reality.
On Wednesday she will enter Aries mid-morning then proceed to pass over all the planets in Aries before moving towards the new moon on Friday. She will also sextile Pluto, bringing another planet in on the action. Pay attention to what comes up as she passes over each planet on this day, because it will reveal the themes of these energies in your personal life. I would even say the events of this day will be some of the most consequential when we look back over this time.
