Astroview for March 9 – March 15

 

Sun transits out of Aquarius and into Pisces, March 14, and is weak until March 19.

 

Moon transits Gemini, Cancer, Leo, and Virgo. The full Moon is in Virgo, March 14.

 

Note: There is an unusual total penumbral Lunar Eclipse on March 14, followed by a total Solar Eclipse on March 29. (The lunar eclipse can be seen in the evening in North America – but not in the West -- and is best visible from Europe and Africa.) It is good to fast during an eclipse and to rest or meditate.

 

The two weeks between eclipses can be dangerous. (In Oct. 2005, for example, there was a hurricane in USA and an earthquake in Pakistan.)

 

Mercury transits out of its debilitation sign, Pisces, back into the sign of Aquarius, March 9. Mercury is weak and retrograde until March 25. Be careful with your business, investments and communications.

 

Mars transits Taurus from 16:02 to 19:50°, outside the influence of other planets. This is better for the military, police, and property.

 

Venus transits Capricorn, from 09:14 to 15:24°, under the aspect of Ketu and Saturn. Protect the women in your life and be careful traveling. Delay luxury expenses.

 

Jupiter transits Libra from 24:53 to 24:42°, and is retrograde until July 5.

 

Saturn transits Cancer from 11:05 to 10:48°, retrograde until April 5. Saturn is under the close aspect of Rahu through May. There can be problems in the gas, oil, coal, and manufacturing industries, and for the masses, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, mud/landslides, bird flu, etc. (Quake in India. Landslide in Indonesia.)

 

Rahu and Ketu transit Pisces and Virgo, and are in the 10° range through April. (This is a vulnerable time for the world. Persons, companies, and countries with rising signs, or planets in “even” signs, around 10° should be extra cautious and do planetary remedies for their charts.)
