ECLIPSE SEASON CONTINUES: Although yesterday's Solar Eclipse (on March 29) was our last eclipse until next September, we are still in eclipse season for the next 10 days to two weeks. Course corrections and changes related to the eclipse themes are likely to continue throughout the first half of the new lunar cycle, so life may feel uncertain and people could be on edge until the Libra Full Moon on April 12.
Also, studies show that people who were born within about 10 days of either a Solar or Lunar Eclipse are more likely to experience significant or life-changing events during eclipse season, often very fortuitously. If you fit into this category, this could be an exciting time, especially with the energies of the Aries New Moon at your back!
SATURN SEXTILE URANUS: This week we are working with the first of three exact Saturn-Uranus sextiles, a very favorable aspect that is in effect now through January 2026. With this sextile, two very different planetary energies are working together in harmony.
Saturn is realistic, responsible, conservative, and goal-oriented. It supports slow but steady progress, usually building on what has worked in the past. The Ringed Planet strives for stability, order, commitment, and consistency. As the planet of Crystallization, Saturn's qualities include patience, self-discipline, commitment, and wisdom.
In contrast, Uranus is restless and futuristic, and invites rapid and sometimes surprising changes. The sideways-spinning planet is known for enhancing intuition and insights, innovations and technologies, social justice and equality. As the planet of Liberation, Uranus supports authenticity, freedom from restriction, and a process of individuation. Its qualities include originality, genius, and an openness to new ideas.
As this mismatched duo collaborates as friends over the next 10 months, they assist us in being open to the new while also maintaining a sense of stability. And, since Uranus is the planet of Higher Consciousness and Saturn rules the process of manifestation, our understanding of "reality" will undergo gradual updates, even as more of our higher mind qualities come online.
ASPECTS THIS WEEK: Here are my brief interpretations of this week's most important planetary aspects, day by day:
Monday
No major aspects are exact today.
Tuesday
Retrograde Venus conjunct North Node: We are drawn to connect with others in a spirit of harmony, compassion, and shared ideals. Partnerships enhance our evolutionary process and our spiritual growth. We may find it easier to forgive ourselves and others for the roles we played in relationships of the past.
Wednesday
No major aspects are exact today.Thursday
Retrograde Mercury conjunct North Node: The mind is imaginative and creative, and drawn to daydreaming. Intuition is online, but our attention to details might not be strong. We may find ourselves reviewing past conversations and seeking to find common ground with others.
Friday
Saturn sextile Uranus: This is the first of three Saturn-Uranus sextiles. The aspect is exact to the degree on April 4 and August 11, 2025, and on January 19, 2026.
Mars square Eris, Mars sextile Uranus, Mars trine Saturn: There is a great deal of energy available today, which can be used in taking calculated risks. We may make good progress in some area of our lives, once we rise above a combativeness or come to terms with a situation that has not gone according to plan.
Saturday
No major aspects are exact today.
Sunday
Sun sextile Jupiter: Optimism, self-confidence, and generosity are enhanced today. We are eager to take on new adventures.
Retrograde Venus trine Mars: Relationships and the arts benefit from this favorable aspect. Affections flow easily, the creative imagination is enlivened, and people are especially sensitive to each other's emotional needs.

If Your Birthday Is This Week (March 31 to April 6):
There is a subtle, but ongoing, underlying optimism available for you to access this year. Your positive attitude will help you be open to new ideas and adventures and will expand your scope of activity beyond its usual boundaries. At the same time, you could become aware of some underlying insecurities or lack of self-worth that require your attention. These are indicators of the need to acknowledge and honor an aspect of your being that has not felt seen or understood, and is awaiting your loving attention so that it may heal. (Solar Return Sun sextile Jupiter, conjunct Chiron)
