Dear NightFall Astrology readers,
Aside from being one of the most emotionally charged times of the year, the first week of March is also one of the best astrological times of the year. In the first week of March, Venus and Jupiter are at their closest, but as of right now, until the middle of the month, they are conjunct in Aries. Venus and Jupiter are the two benefics, the two planets of abundance. If they are both in the sky at the same time, it would be like having twice as much good fortune. Thus, the current conjunction of Venus and Jupiter is doubly amazing.
However, they’ll soon be crossing Chiron in Aries, which is a healing asteroid that teaches you to use your wounds as teachers and your greatest adversities as sources of insight and strength for others. As a result, this is setting off a chain reaction of both material and emotional upheaval. Therefore, the things that annoy you the most are also the ones where you are most likely to discover the silver lining or tremendous wealth. This isn’t a life-or-death situation, but it is delicate nonetheless. Since everything seems to be going swimmingly, you can rest assured that it will continue to go swimmingly in the areas where you tend to feel most vulnerable.
What’s also particularly special about this week is that all alignments are exact on the same day: March 2nd, so mark your calendars and see the magic of the Universe unfold this weekend!
Let’s get into the details of this week’s transits.
I. Mercury conjunct Saturn:
From March 1st until March 3rd (exact on March 2nd) is a period when you’ll want to be quick on your feet, especially before Thursday, March 2nd, when you might get swept off your feet if you’re not careful. Mercury, the planet of the mind, has only four days left in the sign of Aquarius, the innovator. This suggests that verbal communication will be marked by gravitas, sobriety, and direness.
That’s why it’s important to put in as many “lab hours” as possible on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday when your analytical and creative faculties will be at their peak. Research thoroughly all available information. And if you aren’t sure what they mean, consult an expert (or an app!). Since Aquarius is the ruler of both groups and modern communications tools, you may find the information you seek by conducting a simple online search.
On Thursday morning, you may have enough data to make a significant choice thanks to the support of Saturn, the planet of common sense, for Mercury. this is an opportunity to use your newfound empowerment to speak weighty truths into existence.
This conjunction will be most intense for Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, and Taurus.
II. Venus conjunct Jupiter:
One of the most positive alignments will also occur between March’s first and second days: Venus conjunct Jupiter. Venus is commonly associated with small, charming things like food, sex, makeup and beauty, while Jupiter represents larger-scale concepts such as wisdom and travel. When they come together, they form the most advantageous planetary combination possible. This conjunction will take place in Aries, a sign known for its fiery independence, which indicates the growth of individual empowerment globally. It is a hopeful beginning to the month, which is particularly welcome as several planetary changes (most importantly, Saturn entering Pisces and Pluto ingressing Aquarius after being in Capricorn since 2008!) will occur in March.
{ I’ll cover them in more detail in my next weekly horoscopes, but you can read a brief analysis of what they mean in my 2023 Astro overview article. }
Nevertheless, the presence of Venus and Jupiter together at the start of March is incredibly empowering and an ideal time to initiate any new ventures.
In summary, the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter can be likened to the vibrancy of a rainbow or even the fabled pot of gold at its end. Nonetheless, it is important to remember that our words shape the worlds we inhabit, and I have learned to value myself and my capacity for self-love. Overall, this conjunction between Venus and Jupiter, combined with the seriousness of Mercury in conjunction with Saturn, represents a powerful and positive start to the month, an ideal time to manifest your goals and aspirations.
This conjunction will be most auspicious for Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, and Aquarius.
III. Mercury enters Pisces:
On Thursday night, Mercury, the planet of communication, will move into its sign of fall: imaginative and poetic Pisces. The transit of Mercury in Pisces, which will last until March 19th, is a time to let your emotions flow and share your warm and fuzzy thoughts with others. Pisces is a mutable water sign, and its energy is fluid, creative, and sensitive. Under this transit, you may feel inspired to express yourself in a more artistic and imaginative way, whether through writing, poetry, or music.
However, while Pisces can be a highly empathetic and intuitive sign, it can also be prone to confusion and misunderstandings (Mercury has the hardest time expressing its logical and analytical nature in this sign). Therefore, it is crucial to communicate clearly and avoid making assumptions during this time. Rather than jumping to conclusions, take the time to listen and understand others’ perspectives. The fluid nature of Pisces enables us to see beyond our own limitations and biases and adopt a kinder, more compassionate view of the world.
Remember to be gentle with yourself and others during this time, as Pisces can also be an emotional and sensitive sign. Take the time to connect with your own emotions and express them in healthy ways, such as through journaling, therapy, or creative expression. By practising empathy and compassion, you can create deeper and more meaningful connections with others and cultivate a more positive outlook on life.
This transit will be most relevant for Pisces, Gemini, Sagittarius, and Virgo.
Have a blessed week!
