The moment the Sun conjoins the 'Aries Point' (or 'Naught Naught Aries' as the Brits like to say - that's zero degrees, zero minutes Aries) we have the Vernal Equinox. Today is one of the two times a year when daytime is equal to nighttime. Equinox means 'equal night'. Aries is one of the four Cardinal signs which all carry an initiating quality. Each of these signs begins a new season. In the Northern Hemisphere Cancer begins Summer, Libra begins Autumn, Capricorn begins Winter and Aries begins not only the Spring season but is the starting point for the entire astrological calendar. Happy New Year!
SUN IN ARIES, ruled by Mars is a great time for initiating any action, especially physical activity. It's also a good time to take the lead on a project. There's a lot of energy around to support you if you have what it takes. Be careful, though, not to consciously or unconsciously push someone's buttons to start a conflict. Mars is The Warrior archetype and tempers can flare!
MOON ENTERS VIRGO at 1:39 pm. Ruled by Mercury, it's a great time for analyzing, teaching, speaking, writing, cleaning, ordering your space and paying attention to details. Take advantage of it! You can get so much done. Be careful, though, about being too nit-picky, controlling and demanding perfection from those around you. Before 1:39 pm the Moon is Void of Course or in between signs.
This reflects a disconnected, 'no-mans-land' when it is ill-advised to initiate action; that is, unless you want something not to work out.
DAILY ASPECTS OF THE MOON: Moon Square Mars at 11:13 pm. In the few hours leading up to this transit it's important to pay attention to what might start a conflict. This challenging transit creates high tension. The drive for perfection and control can be a perfect trigger for a fight!
LAST ASPECT OF MOON (See March 1st Post for definition): Moon Trine Pluto on 3/21, 11:54 pm. The day's tension is likely to produce a positive result for you in the form of resources, both financially, emotionally and circumstantially. This reflects a time when you can go deeply and intensely into any mental analysis and be rewarded.
SCENE OF THE DAY: ORDINARY PEOPLE
This is the first film I screen in my film analysis class every year. If you haven't seen it, treat yourself to Robert Redford's directorial debut which won the Academy Award for Best Film over Scorsese's Raging Bull! It was a radical film for its time - more of an Ingmar Bergman international psychological drama than the traditional Hollywood plot driven structure. Yet it still maintains a totally compelling story, remaining remarkably true to Judith Guest's novel. Tim Hutton won Best Actor for his acting debut. Redford won Best Director. Notice how it reflects today's astrological elements: intense conflict, psychological analysis, resolution and a New Beginning!
