THE GOOD
A lot of fantastic opportunities are opening up during this time. We have three solid conjunctions occurring that we’ve been building up to for a about two weeks. Right off the bat, the Moon conjoins her ruler Saturn in his dignity in Aquarius. This sounds harder than it actually is - Saturn as the Moon’s ruler here provides a lot of stability and protection, keeping anything from getting super far out of hand.
The next conjunctions are to Jupiter and Mercury. Jupiter will provide expansion, emotional buoyancy, wisdom, positive learning experiences, and maybe even some financial abundance, especially if you have any important placements in this sign. Mercury will make communication and self-expression much easier. The airy nature of this conjunction especially makes it easy to share your thoughts and ideas with your friends and allies. Don’t pass up the opportunity for a really worthwhile, eye-opening conversation.
THE BAD
The conjunction to the Moon’s ruler defends us from this to some extent, but Mars’ aspect can be a little nasty. Don’t let that trine fool you. Don’t be surprised if you find Mars bringing you some agitation and short-temperedness during this period, especially if you have major planets in any mutable signs.
Besides that, the Aquarius period can get a little heady. It can be hard to stay grounded sometimes, and there’s a lot of potential to get too wrapped up in ideas and lose sight of reality.
THE WYRD
The Greek Magical Papyri (PGM) says that Aquarius Moon periods are great for love charms. The reasoning behind this is lost on me, but try it out and see if it works. I simply recommend doing a love spell to draw “someone” to you or bolster a marriage. I don’t recommend casting spells to sway specific people to your will.
There are no strong electionals during these days based around lunar applications or separations.
Remember, everything that I tell you here needs to be indexed to your natal chart, especially the house placement of the Moon, any major transits and the time lords in your life. A strong period for one person may be more challenging for another. I am currently taking on new clients for readings, and I would be very happy to walk you through your own chart and astrological weather - book a session with me here!
Astrological Signatures
Entry: Tuesday, March 9th at 2:40am EST / 7:40am UTC
Departure: Thursday, March 11th at 9:44am EST / 2:44am UTC.
Moon in Aquarius: Peregrine. Without any essential dignity and not supported by a sectmate, the Moon is generally less stable. In Aquarius, humanitarianism and ideals come to the fore. Self-growth and personal development for the greater good is a theme here. Your own thought processes and emotional needs may become harder to access as they are eclipsed by other bigger picture considerations which privilege the whole over any individual part.
Triplicity and Quadruplicity: Fixed Air. Fixedness indicates prolonged activities and an overall steadiness in people’s moods. The Moon in fixed signs makes activities more stable and their duration longer. The air element promotes mental stimulation and any activities which involve communication and language, and an air Moon tends to be very chatty and conversational, preferring discussion and the medium of language to anything else.
Moon’s ruler: Conjunction to Saturn in Aquarius. This indicates great support for grounding the Moon’s significations and carrying them through to completion. This is an excellent time to work towards the big picture and chase your dreams.
Relationship to the Sun: Aversion to the Sun in Pisces. This is a neutral placement. Your outer circumstances and the events that surround you will not pull you down and fight against your will, but they will not lift you up and support you either.
Aspects
Conjunction to Mercury in Aquarius. Communication can flow freely, and dialogue between people and the exploration of thoughts and ideas will happen with less struggle and resistance.
Superior Air Trine to Mars in Gemini. This is the beginning of a new aspect cycle. Internal frustration, anger, and irritability will be very pronounced. You will feel a lot of initiative towards changing your circumstances and pushing through resistances, but there will also be a great danger of burnout.
Conjunction to Jupiter in Aquarius. This will bring in great emotional buoyancy and optimism, as well as potential for financial expansion and abundance and growth. The mood will be brighter and more uplifted, and help is likely to come from teachers and authority figures.
