A Time to Initiate Bold Action Is Upon Us
William Blake 1794
This week begins with deep introspection under the Scorpio Moon, we are drawn inward to process big emotions and things that have been hidden from view. Midweek, a shift occurs as the Sun meets Neptune, blurring the lines between dreams and reality. The Spring Equinox on Thursday marks a turning point—the Sun enters Aries, igniting boldness, a need for courageous action, and a call to new beginnings. Find the video Jennie and I uploaded onto YouTube yesterday about this upcoming Aries Season. The coming month is a powerful time indeed.
On Friday, Venus (retrograde) sextile Pluto stirs intense undercurrents in love and self-worth, preparing us for Saturday’s last quarter moon in Capricorn, which urges us to reassess commitments. That same evening, the Sun and Venus retrograde align, marking a new chapter in relationships and values. Sunday brings further power dynamics into view as the Sun sextiles Pluto, reminding us of our inner strength and ability to change our lives and the future..
This is a week of deep reflection, powerful transitions, and the first steps toward renewal. As winter fades, we are called to step forward with clarity, great courage, and intention. 🌿🔥
DEEP WATERS – Monday, March 17, 2025
The week begins under the quiet intensity of a Scorpio Moon. Emotions run deep, and our instincts sharpen, drawing us toward introspection. There is a natural pull toward solitude or meaningful connection. Shallow interactions hold little appeal. Scorpio’s influence invites us to peel back the layers and sit with all the intensity of what is hidden beneath the surface. If something feels off, trust that feeling. The truth is often found in what is hidden and unspoken.
- What emotions am I avoiding, and why?
- How can I honor my need for privacy while remaining open to connection?
- What truth will I find in the quiet moments?

THE ALCHEMY OF CHANGE – Tuesday, March 18, 2025
The Moon continues its journey through Scorpio, pressing us toward more depth and the need for deeper transformational change. There may be moments of discomfort, as growth often comes through shedding old layers. This is a powerful day for inner work—journaling, therapy, or deep conversations that bring clarity. The Scorpio Moon does not tolerate pretense; it asks for raw honesty with ourselves and others. If we resist change, it will find us anyway. It is best to meet these powerful changes with open arms and an open heart.
- What in my life is ready to be released?
- Where am I holding onto control out of fear?
- How can I turn pain into wisdom?
SHIFTING AWARENESS – Wednesday, March 19, 2025
The day begins with the Moon still in Scorpio, keeping us tethered to our inner world. But as the Moon enters Sagittarius at 4:17 pm EDT, the atmosphere shifts as feelings of heaviness begin to lift. Sagittarius brings the desire for movement, adventure, and understanding. We may feel ready to step out of the deep waters and seek a broader view.
More importantly, this evening, the Sun and Neptune align at the very last degree of Pisces. This is a conjunction that dissolves boundaries and heightens intuition. This is the beginning of a profound spiritual awareness OR one of delusion or imagination. We may feel a longing for something beyond the tangible. Seek this through creativity, mysticism, or surrender into the unknown. Neptune’s waters are foggy; what feels clear now may later reveal itself as wishful thinking. Move gently and dream boldly, but ground yourself in reality and discernment.
Find where Pisces falls in your natal chart—this is the area of life where a new cycle of inspiration and surrender begins. Plant the seed for a vision that aligns with your deepest intuition.
- How can I balance intuition with discernment?
- What illusions am I ready to release?
- Where in my life do I need more faith?
SPRING EQUINOX: SUN ENTERS ARIES – COURAGE & ACTION – Thursday, March 20, 2025
The Sun enters Aries at 5:01 a.m. EDT, marking the spring equinox, a moment of perfect balance between light and dark. From this day forward, daylight takes the lead, pulling us into a new season of renewal, action, and forward momentum. Aries, as the first sign of the zodiac, carries the energy of initiation—bold, independent, and fiercely determined. This shift marks the beginning of the astrological year, a time when we feel an instinctual push to step into new territory, take risks, and carve out a fresh path.
Over the past month, with the Sun in Pisces, we’ve been immersed in reflection, closing old chapters, and navigating the liminal space between endings and beginnings. But now, with Aries leading the way, the energy turns outward. Life calls us to move, to make decisions, to assert ourselves. Aries demands action—not just any action, but courageous, self-directed movement that aligns with our deepest desires. It’s time to ask yourself: Where do you need to take a leap of faith? What have you been hesitating on that now requires decisive steps forward?
The equinox itself serves as a powerful reminder that balance is not a static state but an ongoing process of adjustment and recalibration. Just as nature shifts with the changing light, we, too, must continuously adapt to the cycles of life. This is a day to pause and set clear intentions for the month ahead. What do you want to create? What fires within you are ready to be kindled? Aries encourages us to embrace our own authority and take ownership of our paths.
Jennie and I recently made a video about this powerful transition, exploring how this Aries season will shape the weeks ahead. I encourage you to watch it on YouTube and join us in reflecting on the significance of this time. We will all need support as we process and move forward, individually and collectively. The road ahead is one of movement, challenge, and transformation—but Aries reminds us that we have the courage to meet it head-on.
- What am I ready to begin?
- Where in my life do I need more courage and boldness?
- How can I create balance as I move forward?
POWERFUL OPPORTUNITIES – Friday, March 21, 2025
The Moon in Sagittarius lifts our spirits, encouraging exploration, optimism, and a broader perspective. There’s a restless energy in the air, a desire to break free from limitations and seek new experiences. Whether through travel, learning, or meaningful conversations, this Moon urges us to expand our horizons and embrace possibilities with an open heart. Emotionally, we lean toward independence, adventure, and a willingness to take risks in pursuit of something greater.
At 5:32 p.m. EDT, Venus retrograde in Aries forms a sextile to Pluto in Aquarius, offering an opportunity for meaningful transformation in relationships and personal values. Venus retrograde already prompts us to reassess what we truly desire in love and connection, and Pluto deepens this process, revealing what holds real power in our interactions. Pay attention to what draws you in or pushes you away today—your attractions and repulsions point to valuable insights. This is a chance to recognize outdated patterns, embrace deeper authenticity, and step into a more empowered expression of love and desire.
- What old patterns in my relationships am I beginning to understand, and how can I shift them toward greater authenticity?
- How do power and attraction shape my connections and my understanding of self and others?
- What values feel unshakable, no matter the changes around me?
A CROSSROAD AND A NEW STORY OF LOVE – Saturday, March 22, 2025
The Moon enters Capricorn in the wee hours of the morning, shifting the emotional tone from excitement toward structure and responsibility. This is reinforced by the last quarter moon at 7:30 am EDT and suggests a time of reckoning between what has begun and what must be completed or adjusted. We may feel the weight of decisions previously made and recognize what still requires effort and what must be released.
At 9:07 pm EDT, the Sun and Venus (retrograde) meet at 2 degrees Aries, marking the Venus Star Point—a pivotal moment in Venus’s cycle. This conjunction brings clarity to the themes of love, self-worth, and relationships that have been under review since Venus began its retrograde on March 1st. A new chapter in how we relate to ourselves and others begins at this time. Find the house where Aries falls in your chart—this is where your new story of love, connection, and self-love takes root.
- What am I learning about love, connection, and personal self-worth?
- What commitments need adjustment before the next chapter begins?
- How can I align my desires with my true values?
