COSMIC DAILY WEATHER
March 2020 by Bernadette Evans
Overview

Spring has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere, at least that’s what the calendar tells us. The Spring Equinox means that the day and evening hours are of equal length. While the Northern Hemisphere prepares for summer, the Southern Hemisphere has its fall equinox, preparing them for the coming winter.
This month, Saturn makes its return to the sign of Aquarius. The last time it made its appearance here was in 1991–1993. Saturn is known for being “the great timekeeper.” He expects you to show up and do the work, if you do, you’ll reap the rewards. Saturn in Aquarius idealizes freedom and altruism, wanting what’s best for society as a whole. At this time, we may see more technological advances and space-related discoveries. In 1991, the Hubble Telescope was launched. Computers were just beginning to be a more common item in the home. Who knows what the next two and a half years will bring? You’ll only get a brief taste of Saturn in this sign. It goes retrograde in May, moving back into Capricorn until mid-December. Then he will be ensconced in Aquarius for approximately the next two years. The other news this month is that Mercury finishes its retrograde. It will take till the end of the month before he starts rolling and communications hopefully become clearer. Now, onto the month, have a good one everybody!
The Moon takes about 28 days to complete its orbit through the 12 signs, staying approximately two and a half days in each sign. When we say the Moon is Void of Course (VoC), it means the Moon makes no more major aspects to other planets before it leaves the sign it’s in. At these times, it can be difficult to get focused and accomplish a task. You may want to relax, meditate or do something where your focus is turned inward. Don’t try and get a new project off the ground when the Moon is Void. If you want to find out more about the Void of Course Moon, check out Moontracks.com.
The times below are listed in Central Daylight Time.
Sunday, March 1 The Moon-Saturn trine could provide some assistance for finishing up a project. There may be a feeling of relief that the project or situation has come to an end. This leaves space for you to start something fresh. There’s a good possibility of making money from either endeavor. The Moon-Saturn aspect may also bring up feelings of having to do it all on your own. Moon VoC in Taurus at 9:52 a.m., until it enters the sign of Gemini at 1:21 p.m.
Monday, March 2 Creating what you love is the focus when the Moon squares the Sun. It’s the Second Quarter Moon, meaning the Moon is building towards a Full Moon. What are you building towards? Everything is possible when you have a dream or a goal in mind.
Tuesday, March 3 There’s the potential for experiencing difficulties in some of your relationships when Venus squares Saturn. Could it stem from miscommunications or misunderstandings? You may prefer to be alone today, and that’s okay, but you may benefit from putting in the energy to maintain your relationships. On another note, be mindful of your spending habits at this time. You could be feeling the pinch so don’t make any unnecessary
Wednesday, March 4 Mercury retrogrades back into the sign of Aquarius at 5:08 a.m.; while Venus enters the sign of Taurus at 9:07 p.m. Venus is very happy being in her sign of Taurus. While it’s there you may want to slow things down with regards to your relationships. You’re not putting the brakes on, just enjoying your friend’s or partner’s company. Taurus is a sensual sign, so, giving your partner a massage or a foot rub fits in with the day. Venus also enjoys luxury, whether it’s a nice meal, a comfy couch or a beautiful painting, but be conscious of your spending habits and what your limits are. Today’s energy is about enjoying the good life…in moderation.
Thursday, March 5 When the Moon trines Neptune you could be seeing a person or a situation through rose-colored glasses. Your unrealistic expectations may be impossible for others to live up to. Also, you could healthfully use this energy by creating something beautiful on paper, canvas, tarot reading or some other means.
Friday, March 6 The focus is on relationships and finances when the Moon squares Venus. You’re in the mood to socialize. Go have fun! You could also be examining your relationships to see which ones nurture you. Finances may be a concern at the moment. Make sure to weigh the pros and cons of your purchases before pulling out the credit card. Moon VoC at 1:11 a.m., until it enters the sign of Leo at 3:27 a.m.
Saturday, March 7 The Moon is in Leo today and you could find yourself torn between what you’d like to do and what you think you should do. Making adjustments and compromises with others and yourself may be the way to handle the energy today. Try and find the balance between meeting your needs and wants and those of others.
Sunday, March 8 Your dreams of expanding your horizons by dabbling in mystical, spiritual or creative pursuits are front and center when the Sun conjuncts Neptune. There are so many different avenues to explore, you could have trouble picking just one. When Venus conjuncts Uranus, there’s the possibility of an unexpected love interest suddenly appearing. If attached, you may feel the need for some excitement in your relationship, just be mindful of creating unnecessary drama. Moon VoC at 3:12 a.m., until it enters the sign of Virgo at 5:47 a.m.
Monday, March 9 Mercury stations direct at 10:49 p.m. Be patient, as it will take a while before he picks up steam and communications go more smoothly. There’s a Full Moon in Virgo at 12:48 p.m. Take time to quiet your mind to search for what you’re yearning for. Following your heart’s desire is what keeps you going. There may be times you beat yourself up, thinking you or your work aren’t good enough, always working harder, seeking perfection. Perfection is nice, but not at the cost of your self-esteem and beating yourself up. Give yourself and others room to grow and make mistakes. That’s how everyone learns. The Full Moon in Virgo also highlights having empathy and being there for others. Make sure you have healthy boundaries in place, so you don’t burn yourself out. The shadow side to watch out for is becoming a martyr when you help others.
Tuesday, March 10 An unexpected situation may arise that has you stressed and wishing for an escape hatch when the Moon quincunx’s Uranus. Try not to over-react and do something impulsive.

Wednesday, March 11 The Sun-Jupiter sextile could bring opportunities for recognition and rewards. Your optimism and excitement about your newest venture are contagious. Someone may be thrilled to help you on your journey. Enjoy the ride.
Thursday, March 12 You may be craving some alone time when the Moon opposes Uranus. There’s a need to just get away from it all and hide. You could go so far as to say something impulsively, which will certainly get you that alone time, but you’ll regret it later on. Look for the balance between freedom and connection. Moon VoC at 3:12 a.m., until it enters the sign of Scorpio at 4:28 a.m.
Friday, March 13 Despite any silly superstition that Friday the 13th is a bad day, the energies today are all harmonious. Get in touch with your intuitive side by doing some meditating or just being still. Then wait for it…and listen to what the Universe has to say. It’s up to you to put the answers to good use and build on it.
Saturday, March 14 When Mars sextiles Neptune you’re being given the opportunity to follow your passion. Be brave and step forward into the limelight to offer your work up for the world to see. It’s often scary speaking up or being seen, especially in these days of social media. Add the Sun-Pluto sextile to the mix and you have the determination to succeed. Don’t let doubts creep in, you’re the creator of your own story. Moon VoC at 5:06 a.m. until it enters the sign of Sagittarius at 6:09 a.m.
Sunday, March 15 The Moon-Neptune square could spark feelings of confusion. You’re having a hard time trying to figure out what’s real and what isn’t. By being calm and grounded you’ll know how to discern between illusion and reality.
Monday, March 16 It’s the Last Quarter Moon. What do you need to finish? Has there been something that’s been nagging at you?

If your emotions overwhelm you, go for a walk, meditate or whatever else works to ground yourself.
Thursday, March 19 Happy Birthday, Dear Aries! The Sun enters the sign of Aries at 10:50 p.m. Here in the Northern Hemisphere, this means it’s time to celebrate the Spring Equinox.

Monday, March 23 When Mars conjuncts Pluto you’re feeling driven to act.

So, don’t be shy to ask for help or offer a helping hand to someone else.
Thursday, March 26 Feelings of isolation and loneliness may surface when the Moon squares Saturn. You’re being called to dance to the beat of your own drum and sometimes that means you need to be on your own. Don’t force yourself to engage with others if you’re not feeling up to it.
