Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome back to another episode of Astrology with Alice. I'm
your host, Alice Bell, and today is Monday, March twenty fourth.
Happy Arie season everyone. I'm recording this on the first
day of ARIE season, March twentieth, and I already feel
a noticeable shift. That last week or so of Pisce season,
with the Sun meeting up with Saturn the north node Neptune,
(00:27):
it really dragged and I was super sensitive during that
time and just kind of very low energy, very much
in hermit mode. So I'm personally excited for ARIE season
and to finally start to get things going again. But
looking at the month as a whole, Airy season really
(00:48):
will pick up closer to the full moon in Libra
on April twelfth, because by that point we have mercury
and Venus retrograde en dem two. So if the start
of your ARIE season is still kind of confusing, things
are delayed or just moving slowly, give it about two
to three weeks and you'll feel differently. So looking at
(01:11):
the week ahead, though, we have an action packed week.
We have another eclipse. This time it's a solar eclipse
in Aries, which will be happening on Saturday, Neptune is
also entering Aries, which is crazy, like Neptune has not
changed signs since twenty twelve, So the fact we have
one of these major outer planet transitions this week is major,
(01:34):
and we'll be going into the eclipse and Neptune at
various points in this episode. But also we have Venus
and Mercury retrogrades shifting from Aries where they started in
March back into Pisces, and they'll eventually in those retrogrades
in the sign of Pisces around the middle of April.
So those are other two important transits to watch. So
(01:57):
we've got a lot of moving parts going on this week.
Just to touch briefly on the solar eclipse, and we'll
obviously go more in depth on that when we get
to Saturday of this week, but this is the final
Ari solar eclipse and it's going to close out the
Ares Libra eclipse cycle that has been happening since April
of twenty twenty three. So if you're new to listening
(02:19):
to this podcast, make sure to go back to my
episode Eclipse Stories that I put out in September of
twenty twenty four. You can just like search Eclipse Stories
in the search bar of this podcast, and that'll give
you a better understanding of like what themes have been
brought up for your specific rising sign over the last
two years with these Aris Libra eclipses, and also what
(02:42):
you can expect moving forward now that the eclipses are
about to fully shift into Pisces in Virgo, Like the
next time we get eclipses in September of this year,
there'll be one in Pisces and they'll be one in Virgo.
No more Aries Libra. And also just to differentiate between
a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse, because we got
the lunar eclipse in Virgo a week ago. When was
(03:06):
that March fourteenth? Yeah, And lunar eclipses are pretty similar
to full moons, where it's like it's a culmination of activity.
You're having these bigger realizations come up. Things might be
happening more. And for this past eclipse, things were happening
more in the Virgo rule part of your chart, like
maybe there were bigger reflections happening, or you had this
(03:29):
big realization about what you want to change or make
adjustments to their or you were seeing greater momentum in
that part of your life. And now that we get
a solar eclipse, it's definitely lower energy, and it's a
lot about planting the seeds for future projects, future habits,
future relationships. But what that actually turns out to be
(03:52):
is not totally visible yet. So you may just have
this like initial idea that you want to look into further,
and you could see that idea continue to develop over
the next several months, and especially once Saturn moves into
Aries in late May of this year. Saturn will also
serve to solidify the themes that this eclipse is bringing
(04:15):
up for you. So it's kind of like you're having
that initial urge to maybe make a change or do
something different in the Aries worldhouse of your chart, and
then Saturn will come along and be like, Okay, how
are we actually going to get there? How are we
going to lay foundations and be more serious about developing
these themes in this area of your life. So think
(04:36):
about realization idea coming now, maybe not fully seeing the
full picture there or knowing exactly how to act on it,
and then seeing greater activity once we get into late
May June July August of this year and Saturn inners
that same part of your chart. So yeah, we have
that eclipse on Saturday, March twenty ninth, and then one
(04:59):
day later, on March thirtieth, Neptune changes signs. Neptune has
been in pis Se since twenty twelve. It's going to
dip into Aries for several months in twenty twenty five.
It'll eventually go back to Pisces in I believe it's
October until the end of January twenty twenty six, and
(05:19):
once we get to end of January twenty twenty six
and it moves back into aries, it will be fully
in aries until twenty thirty nine. So kind of major
world history new chapter starting with Neptune entering a new sign,
And it'll be interesting to see, like what type of
cultural shift goes on with this transit, and how different
(05:43):
themes are emphasized in the arts and creative fields, and
also what types of things in culture start to feel
more confusing or deceptive or just like hard to read,
because that's what we think of when we think of Neptune.
It blurs the boundaries. It makes it hard to see
(06:04):
what's actually real. I'll get more into this when we
get to this transit later on in the episode, but
follow up to last week's episode, when I talked about
the Sun Venus Kasimi cycles and how a Sun Venus casimi,
when the Sun and Venus meet up at the same
degree of a specific zodiac sign, happens every four years.
(06:27):
One when Venus is not retrograde, four years later when
Venus is retrograde, four years after that one Venus is
not retrograde, and so on and so forth. So you'll
get kind of similar themes pop up in your life
in these four year repetitions. And I received an Instagram
DM from someone saying that top Shop in London's Oxford
(06:50):
Circus is reopening. I don't know about the other stores
that top Shop had closed down, but they were saying,
oh my god, this is so literal with what you
were talking about, because top Shop closed down in late
twenty twenty early twenty twenty one, right around the time
of the last Sun Venus casmion Arees. And now here
(07:11):
we are four years later, right at this next Sun
Venus casimi in Ares but Venus is retrograde this time,
and top Shop has just now announced that they're opening
or reopening. Sorry, And this is so Venus retrograde themed,
because Venus literally represents fashion in style and these types
(07:34):
of themes are being brought back from the past, like
top shops at past brand that's reopening now and announcing
this during the sun Venus Casmion arees. So just wanted
to share that literal story of astrology playing out. And
before we get into it, just a reminder that the
are Season monthly Forecast is out now for paid subscribers
(07:55):
on substack. That is where I go in depth on
all of the major trans it's happening throughout Airy Season
for each rising sign, so about two thousand now they're
getting close to twenty five hundred words per rising sign.
I need to reel it back in again, but it
goes over all of the transits for the next month,
all the transits were about to talk about this week,
(08:15):
like the solar eclipse, Neptune, Venus, and Mercury changing signs
and what that means for you specifically, So if you're
interested in that, it's available on my substack also called
Astrology with Alice. But with that being said, let's get
into the astrology for the week ahead. We are starting
off the week on Monday, March twenty fourth. The moon
is preparing to shift out of Capricorn into Aquarius, which
(08:39):
will happen around eleven thirty am Eastern Time, so time
zones ahead. Moon is still going to be in Capricorn
for the majority of your day, and until the moon
leaves Capricorn, you may have a slower start to your day,
like maybe there's not a lot of activity or momentum
taking place earlier on on Monday, So if you need
to move slower in waking up and doing your work,
(09:01):
allow yourself to do that. Because once the moon moves
into Aquarius, where it will be for the rest of Monday,
all of Tuesday, and for a large part of Wednesday,
you may feel more like up for socializing and for
connecting with people. And later on on Monday, like you
don't normally think of Monday as like a social day
of the week, but maybe it actually is for this
(09:24):
specific week, like maybe you're reaching out to friends and
making plans for Tuesday or Wednesday. Or it could also
be that you want to keep your mind engaged through
learning or writing or having stimulating conversations with people. So
a great day for brainstorming, tending to communication based work,
anything that really forces you to like think and strategize
(09:47):
in that way. Once the moon moves into Aquarius, it'll
also be sextile to the Sun, Mercury, and Venus, which
are all in aries. So I definitely see this as
an uplifting Monday where you're having more interactions with people. However,
also going on at the same time throughout the middle
of the day on Monday, the Moon is coming up
(10:09):
on a conjunction with Pluto in Aquarius, so there might
be some power dynamics that come up within your relationships
or at work, or maybe you're struggling to let go
of your control over a certain situation or not be
so obsessive about something. You could even be surprised by
the intensity of feelings that come up midday early afternoon
(10:32):
on Monday, or like looking at this in a more
productive way, maybe you're channeling your focus towards research and
you could feel way more focused than usual, like you're
really going deep on one specific subject. Monday is also
the day of the Sun Mercury causinian airees. So last
(10:52):
week's episode we talked about the Sun Venus Casimi. Now
two days later on Monday, the Sun and mercury meeting
up at four degrees of areas, and this is what
I refer to as the new moon phase of mercury.
And around early March, when mercury reached its greatest elongation,
so its greatest distance from the Sun, you may have
(11:15):
had inspiration come due for your next project or hobby
or other plan in life or some type of communication
based work. But then mercury retrograde hit and that may
have gotten slowed down as we've gotten further into March,
or maybe momentarily forgotten. Now with this Mercury sun kasimi,
which marks the midpoint of the mercury retrograde, you may
(11:38):
be urged to reflect further into a specific idea or
gather details for an upcoming project, think anything communication related
that involves planning, writing, speaking, or maybe even travel. All
of this will get emphasized on Monday, and this could
also linger into Tuesday too, So really looking at the
start of this work week and with this kazmi, you
(12:01):
may receive necessary insight and into what you want to
develop next, like what type of content do you want
to create or how might you convey your knowledge and
ideas to people in different ways these cycles between mercury
and the sun, and like specifically when there are mercury
sun kazimis. One happens when mercury is retrograde, and then
a couple months from now we'll get one when mercury
(12:24):
is no longer retrograde. These are so important if you
are a writer, speaker, teacher, communicator, or create content in
any way, because they show you when it's time to
put out new content versus when it's time to pull
back in brainstorm. So right now, with this sun mercury retrograde, Kasini,
(12:45):
we're still in the brainstorming phase, but you're starting to
get ideas and an inspiration for what you want to
do next, and activity could start to pick up with
writing or speaking or whatever it is you're working on
at the moment a little bit more in the days
that follow this. KASMI, I have a whole sub stack
on this topic that I believe it's free to read.
(13:07):
I put it out at the end of twenty twenty three.
It's called something like tracking mercury cycles for writing something
along those lines if you scroll back in case you're
interested in learning more there. But this sun mercury Kasini
also points to how Monday might be busier with admin
work or you could be surprisingly social, even if that
means just running into people you know as you go
(13:29):
about your day. Okay, moving on to Tuesday, March twenty fifth.
The moon is still in Aquarius all day, but it'll
be forming a trine with Jupiter and Gemini on Tuesday,
So again we have another day that's centered around how
you interact with people and maybe having greater communication with
friends or the people you work with. And you may
(13:50):
also be curious in consuming a lot of different information.
You might be doing a lot more learning at the
start of this week, and again we're getting a good
day for meetings tackling communication based work, and maybe you're
also reflecting on how can you be more community involved
or supportive of the people in your life. There's really
not a lot happening on Tuesday. Besides that, I guess
(14:13):
I should also mention that we're very much in the
final days before a new moon, which happens to be
a solar eclipse this time, so overall energy like headed
into the rest of this week is lower, and it
could be that you're just wrapping up work or wrapping
up a chapter and priorities that have been consuming you
for the last month in order to close out that
(14:36):
phase and reflect on what comes next. Next we are
to Wednesday, March twenty six. The moon is still an
Aquarius until a little before four pm Eastern. It'll be
void of course, though, so I see Wednesday as a
lower energy day overall, I really wouldn't try to send
out any important emails or pitches to people. Try to
(14:57):
continue on with like whatever you have star and go
easy on yourself. You don't need to be doing the
most on Wednesday. I would just like try to get
through whatever's on your to do list and not start
anything new. This could be a good day to get
out of your mind and connect more with your body,
especially because the moon will be connecting with your honest
in Taurus, which may leave you feeling a bit anxious
(15:19):
or on edge. Around four pm Eastern, the moon leaves
Aquarius moves into Pisces, So moving into the second half
of this week, you may feel noticeably more introverted or
a bit sensitive. Maybe you want to like kind of
pull back from being so involved with other people and
spend time in your own company, prioritizing your creative interests,
(15:41):
or even a spiritual practice like journaling, astrology, walking outside
and like even just connecting with nature, whatever that whatever
that activity is, that just helps you feel more uplifted
and like there's more to life and you're connected to
something greater. Try to lean into that. Once we get
to the end of Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, let's move on
(16:05):
to Thursday, March twenty seventh. Now the Pisces transits continue
as Venus retrograde moves back into Pisces on this day
and it'll join Neptune there at the twenty ninth degree
of Pisces, and then the moon also remains in Pisces
all day, So again we're getting another day where you
could feel more emotional or sensitive, or you may just
(16:26):
find it hard to concentrate, especially on a lot of
very focused or detailed work. Pisces is more for thinking
with the creative intuitive side of your brain, and especially
like having Venus contact Neptune, it just may have you
daydreaming or fantasizing about your future more than being grounded
(16:49):
in like practical tasks and reality and looking more closely
at how the venus retrograde is moving back into Pisces. Pisces,
that is actually a way better sign for Venus to
be in than ares wise, because pieces is the sign
of Venus's exaltation, so everything that Venus represents creativity, style, art, money,
(17:10):
relationships may be easier to tap into, and these areas
may start to flow in a way that wasn't really
happening in the earlier part of the retrograde, Like maybe
all of these themes just feel less frustrating with Venus
meeting up with Neptune. Though on Thursday, and this also
carries a bit into Friday, there may be something that
(17:32):
feels confusing or literal miscommunication could come up in a relationship,
so before things will flow more easily, we get this
little blip where you could feel frustrated, especially if you
feel like you're reaching out to people or giving your
energy to someone and they're not valuing you or not
giving you the same back in return. So this may
(17:53):
be an important transit in helping you to realize when
do you need to speak up and not be so
available and and I don't know, just like selflessly giving
in relationships. On the other hand, though, this may be
a transit that does ask you to maybe let down
your guard and be more compassionate or open with others,
like especially if you're someone that I don't know, maybe
(18:15):
like struggles to lessen your control in relationships or open
up fully. Maybe this transit will actually help you to
do that. It could also be that you're more open
to learning about art, music, culture, beauty, really leaning into
your creative side. And I don't want anyone to tell
me that you're not creative, because I truly feel like
(18:36):
everyone is a creative person deep down. You just have
to find what resonates for you. And even if that
isn't literally drawing or painting, there's always a way in
which you express yourself uniquely, or interests that are very
much your own, So trying to maybe uncover those at
(18:58):
some point this week, last thing I'll say about Venus
Neptune and this conjunction. There could be some confusion about
finances that comes up around Thursday Friday, or receiving payment
from something. If you're self employed or like work on
a freelance basis, that will pass. Maybe you also just
want to give some careful thought into what you're spending
(19:20):
your money on and if that's a value to you
before you impulsively buy something. Then we are to Friday,
March twenty eighth. Friday is going to be felt pretty
similarly to Thursday, with the moon and Pisces coming up
on that conjunction with Neptune and Venus and Pisces, so
again like heightened sensitivity, maybe also heightened intuition, like really
(19:42):
try to listen to what your emotions are telling you.
At the end of this week. In the morning though
so mainly time zones ahead will notice this more for
a larger part of your Friday, the moon will be
conjunct Saturn in Pisces, so there may be a heavier
start to your day, or there's some minor frustration or
delays that you run into, or you just feel kind
(20:02):
of weighed down. That energy will lift once we get
further into Friday, like later in the morning Eastern, So
if you're ahead of America in time zones, maybe your
evening night on Friday will just feel like easier than
the rest of your day. And by Friday, we are
one day out from this solar eclipse. So if you
(20:24):
feel very drained and slow on Friday, that's normal. I
expect a lot of us to feel that way. Friday
night would be a great time to stay in and
keep to yourself. Maybe you do want a journal about
realizations that are coming up at this eclipse, or intentions
or goals that you want to keep in the back
of your mind and further develop over the coming months.
(20:45):
You could also want to think about like what do
you want to let go of? And also by letting
go of something, what is that allowing you to move
forward into And by taking this necessary time to yourself
to reflect, maybe it's made clear who and what you
want to invest your energy into over the coming weeks.
(21:05):
Right around four thirty pm Eastern, the moon moves out
of pist season into Aries, So maybe some of this
low energy, overly sensitive type energy is lifting a bit.
But again, the eclipse is about to happen. Really don't
expect to be doing a lot on Friday, and if
you do have plans, maybe you feel the urge to
(21:26):
go home a bit earlier or just not meet up
with a ton of people, more like one on one
kind of intimate interactions. Okay, let's move on to the
actual day of the eclipse now, Saturday, March twenty ninth.
The solar eclipse in Aries happens right at seven am
Eastern on Saturday morning, and it's going to be occurring
(21:47):
at nine degrees of Aries, so if you're in Australia
or Asia or like way ahead of this time zone,
the eclipse may actually be on Sunday the thirtieth for you,
not the twenty ninth, so you may want to do
some relations. But as I mentioned in the intro, this
is the third and final eclipse we've had in Aries
since April twenty twenty three. So every single Ari season
(22:10):
at this time of year for the past three years,
we've had an Arias eclipse, and we finally wrapped up
the Libra eclipses in October. But now with this Aris one,
the Aris Libra eclipse series will be officially over and
will be fully into Pisces Virgo eclipses for the next year.
Actually not even like the next year, because we get
(22:30):
an Aquarius eclipse next February. I am so pumped for
Leo Aquarius eclipses in twenty twenty six, so it's like
a very fast transition. It's like, Okay, Aries Libra ends,
and then literally like in nine ten months we start
getting Leo Aquarius eclipses. Anyways, I always think of the
(22:51):
last eclipse that happens in a pair of signs like
that series that's been going on as being like a
final push to make a chance change, take a risk,
or further develop something in that part of your life.
And maybe whatever you were starting or whatever initial changes
happened back in early twenty twenty three when that first
(23:12):
areas eclipse happened, that story that's unfolded related to the
areas world house of your chart maybe becoming full circle
now or there's been like changes that have been built
upon that first initial change, So like a series that
has been building over the last two years. And I
want to briefly touch upon some key themes that certain
(23:33):
rising signs have been experiencing so you get a better
idea of like, okay, maybe that actually these actually have
been prominent themes since spring of twenty twenty three, and
now it's like that final push, like what else are
you going to do there? How are you having more
confidence in this part of your life? So for Fire
Sign risings, these areas eclipses have been a lot about
your sense of identity. You're like, what knowledge you're interested
(23:57):
in learning about opportunity related to writing, teaching, sharing your ideas,
developing your own creative voice, and finding hobbies that you
love outside of work. For Earth sign risings, these series
of Areas eclipses may have had to do more with
mental health matters, or your spiritual beliefs, or your home
(24:20):
life and your inner self and how you can heal
certain emotions surrounding the past or whatever you're currently facing
in your relationships. For Air sign risings, this Areas eclipse
and the ones that have come before it have had
a lot to do with relationships of all different types,
so whether that's changes in friendships, dating, business partnerships, they've
(24:45):
been a lot about how you relate to other people
and how you can better communicate. And then with Water
sign risings, this series of Areas eclipses has been a
lot about career and getting ahead with work or making
adjustments to what types of work you take gone also
considering what is your overall life calling or how can
(25:05):
you be more of your own boss, like how can
you develop entrepreneurial type projects and endeavors. And maybe you've
been thinking more about like your relationship to work and
how you can balance that with your personal life and
health matters. So see how these themes mentioned for you
may become much more prominent or go through significant changes
(25:27):
in the coming weeks, and even if nothing is happening
related to these themes on the exact day or week
of the eclipse, it doesn't mean that nothing's happening there.
Eclipses really break up your life into these six month
increments where you're noticing, okay, this area's world house of
my chart and also the Virgo one because we just
had an eclipse there those two houses, that is where
(25:50):
the biggest changes and the most realizations are coming out
at the moment. So those themes are really key to
take note of for the next six months. It's also
important to look at where is the ruling planet of
this eclipse. The rolling planet is Mars, and Mars is
currently in cancer, so this eclipse may also bring in
(26:10):
Cancrian themes like home, family, where you belong, who your
closest people are, and you may want to also kind
of tie in themes related back to the cancer worldhouse
of your chart and maybe how is there more energy
and activity happening in that part of your life too
than normally would be taking place. So for some of you,
(26:33):
this eclipse in Mars transit combined may be like there's
really visible changes happening in your life in the case
of me, though, like I've got a ninth house Area's
eclipse and a twelfth house Mars transit, so really nothing
visible is happening, but a lot is going on internally
with me, Like this is a huge time for learning
and reflection. So sometimes, just like in general with astrology,
(26:57):
you get these transits where changes aren't really obvious to
anyone else but you. And then there's these other times
in your life where you do go through noticeable changes,
like moving homes or moving cities, or changing careers or
like having a baby. You get the point, but it's
it's like, even if these huge visible shifts that everyone
(27:20):
can see aren't taking place for you, there still could
be important changes going on within yourself. And the main
aspect that this eclipse is making is a sextile to
Jupiter and Gemini, which I view as lending like more
of an uplifting, hopeful type energy, especially more optimistic than
(27:42):
the Virgo eclipse we just had was because that Virgo
eclipse is weighed down by Saturn and Neptune, so I
expect this one to be more energetic and optimistic then
the rest of Saturday. We're coming off of that eclipse
energy the moon still is moving through air, so you
could see a slight increase in energy. Maybe you want
(28:04):
to make more of an effort to reach out to
people or schedule some type of active plan for your
day because the moon is now in its waxing phase.
One last transit to note for Saturday is that Mercury
is following Venus and moving back into Pisces two, so
it's doing that same thing that Venus did earlier on
this week. And taking note of these two houses ares
(28:28):
the Ares World House in your chart and the Piss's
World House in your chart, maybe topics related to the
Ares House that we're also brought up with this eclipse
happening there are starting to feel less confusing, and now
your reflection and needing to revisit or reflect on something
is shifting more so to the Piss's Worldhouse of your chart.
(28:52):
So just to give an example, like if you're an
Aquarius rising, maybe third house matters, so the way you
write and communicate and share your ideas and topics you're
interested in learning about, or maybe also the relationship you
have with your siblings that could have been more prominent
(29:12):
earlier on in these retrogrades and now As we move
into the second half of the retrograde second house, matter
such as like money, how am I going to reflect
on my role at work? What can I do to
bring in more income? How can I be more mindful
of my spending habits? That type of thing will be
more prominent. So really looking at like, what are these
(29:33):
two houses in your chart? How is like it shifting
from one being confusing to like the other? Now needing
more of that reflection time. Okay, I think I've spent
enough time on Saturday. Let's move on to Sunday to
wrap up this week. Okay, where it's to Sunday, March thirtieth.
It's the last day of this week, but it's certainly
(29:55):
not the most boring day. In the wake of this
eclipse that just took place on Saturday, Neptune will be
changing signs on Sunday, moving out of pieces and into aries.
Neptune has been in Pisce since twenty twelve. As I
mentioned earlier, Neptune will go back to Pisces later this
year and finish out the last couple months of twenty
(30:16):
twenty five in the first month of twenty twenty six
in Pisces, so it is just a several month long
sneak peak of this longer transit of Neptune and Arees
that we're getting in. That longer transit will run from
end of January twenty twenty six until twenty thirty nine.
And with all of these outer planet transits like Your Honest,
(30:38):
Neptune Pluto there really felt more subtly because they last
so long they last. I mean, in the case of
Your Honest that's the shortest one, it's eight years been.
In the case of Pluto, we can get up to
a thirty year transit through just one sign of the zodiac.
And because this is that initial ingress of Neptune into
(30:59):
a new Sun and therefore new house of your chart,
maybe notice right off the bat in the next few months,
especially when Saturn also moves into Aries and meets up
with Neptune there throughout June, July, August, how you could
be developing this new outlook on the ares world house
of your chart. You might be dissolving long held mindsets
(31:22):
that you've had there and realizing, wait, I actually need
to open myself up to thinking about this part of
my life in an entirely new way. And maybe you're
opening yourself up to having greater creativity or spirituality there,
or you're learning how to be more open and giving
in general. However, this Neptune ingress into the ares house
(31:45):
of your chart will maybe make you more prone to
confusion or deception or just like a general lack of
organization in that part of your life, and that may
feel very difficult, like I know, like I'm just thinking,
you know, like when Neptune goes through, like let's say
it's your tenth house, your cancer rising moves into your
(32:06):
tenth house, maybe it's like what you've been doing in
your career up until this point just no longer feels
as meaningful to you, and that could feel very confusing,
like what am I supposed to do next? I thought
I had this, I thought I had my next five
to ten years all mapped out, and now I'm searching
for something that speaks to me on a greater creative
(32:29):
or spiritual level. So that's just one example of how
it might be affecting a certain area of your life
and how you may want to have deeper meaning there.
And people who will be feeling this Neptune transit the
most will be people that have like zero to one
degree Aris placements in their chart and blending these Neptune
(32:52):
themes with the topics of whatever planet or angle is affected.
So maybe if it's your sun, if you have like
a March twenty first, Mar twenty second birthday, Neptune is
coming up on and going to move right over your
Ari's sun, And maybe you are questioning, like, what is
my identity? Who am I as a person? How can
I open myself up to being more spiritual and compassionate
(33:15):
and maybe not caring about material things as much, but
just needing to have that deeper connection to my life
in some way. So really important to look at not
only if you have Aris planets, but also other cardinal
signs at very early degrees of these cardinal signs. And
I also want to talk about how Neptune's a planet
(33:36):
that tends to overly romanticize the topics of the sign
and house in which it is transiting, making it hard
to see what is real and what isn't there. So first,
needing to be more aware of the house, world bay
areas in your chart, like needing to stay on top
of things a bit more there so that you don't
end up in tricky situations, but maybe also noting aries
(33:58):
themes in general will be amplified by these this Neptune
transit and that will be felt by everyone. So to
touch upon the more challenging topics that might be brought
up with this transit. If we're thinking about the sign
of Ares, it has a lot to do with independence
and leadership and having Neptune in or this sign, maybe
there's a lot of confusion surrounding like who is in charge,
(34:20):
what makes a good leader? Who should I be looking
up to? And at its absolute worst, Neptune and Ares
can indicate like over romanticizing war or violence. So noting
how these themes pop up on a more global scale,
I do want to give some positives for this transit though,
(34:41):
since the world is complete chaos at the moment. But
Ares is also a sign about taking initiative and figuring
out what motivates you. So Neptune entering this sign that's
all about drive and energy and motivation. It could mean
that a lot more of us are motivated by things
that we feel a deeper speed, ritual or creative connection to,
(35:02):
or what once motivated us no longer has that same power,
leaving us feeling confused at first, but ultimately finding deeper
meaning elsewhere. And maybe that's completely outside of like success
or being like the best person or the top of
the game. Maybe like you're kind of redefining your relationship
(35:25):
to success or like what it means to be your
own individual. I don't know. It's like Neptune transits are
so hard to describe when they're happening. I feel like
I honestly won't have a good grasp on what this
transit means until twenty thirty nine when it's over and
we can all look back at what's happened in the
world related to these Neptune and Aries related themes. So
(35:50):
stay tuned on this one. I'm honestly still trying to
figure out what Neptune and Pisces transiting my eighth house
last year or not last year. The past decade or
so has been about like it's very hard to grasp intangible,
concrete terms like what was that transit? So still doing
reflection myself. And if you do want a resource for
(36:11):
understanding like Neptune transits and how they affect your chart,
totally recommend the book Gods of Change, a great resource
for going deeper in learning about Neptune, Uranus and Pluto transits.
And final thing to note for Sunday, the moon will
move into Taurus around four pm Eastern, So if you
(36:36):
feel a little bit like frantic or more energy throughout
the earlier part of the day, come Sunday evening. Sunday night,
we get this cozier into the weekend. It could be
a time for cooking, relaxing, self care, nurturing your body,
doing all of like the fun stuff. So this is
where I leave you for this week. This ended up
(36:56):
being another long episode. The astrology of March is just
unbelievable and I've tried to pack it all into half
an hour. But I hope everyone has a great next
few days. I'm excited to introduce some new type of
content to this podcast soon. I've honestly just been waiting
for all of these retrogrades to finally lift. So stay
(37:17):
tuned for more Thursday episodes coming soon, and see you
back here next week.
Welcome back to another episode of Astrology with Alice. I'm
your host, Alice Bell, and today is Monday, March twenty fourth.
Happy Arie season everyone. I'm recording this on the first
day of ARIE season, March twentieth, and I already feel
a noticeable shift. That last week or so of Pisce season,
with the Sun meeting up with Saturn the north node Neptune,
(00:27):
it really dragged and I was super sensitive during that
time and just kind of very low energy, very much
in hermit mode. So I'm personally excited for ARIE season
and to finally start to get things going again. But
looking at the month as a whole, Airy season really
(00:48):
will pick up closer to the full moon in Libra
on April twelfth, because by that point we have mercury
and Venus retrograde en dem two. So if the start
of your ARIE season is still kind of confusing, things
are delayed or just moving slowly, give it about two
to three weeks and you'll feel differently. So looking at
(01:11):
the week ahead, though, we have an action packed week.
We have another eclipse. This time it's a solar eclipse
in Aries, which will be happening on Saturday, Neptune is
also entering Aries, which is crazy, like Neptune has not
changed signs since twenty twelve, So the fact we have
one of these major outer planet transitions this week is major,
(01:34):
and we'll be going into the eclipse and Neptune at
various points in this episode. But also we have Venus
and Mercury retrogrades shifting from Aries where they started in
March back into Pisces, and they'll eventually in those retrogrades
in the sign of Pisces around the middle of April.
So those are other two important transits to watch. So
(01:57):
we've got a lot of moving parts going on this week.
Just to touch briefly on the solar eclipse, and we'll
obviously go more in depth on that when we get
to Saturday of this week, but this is the final
Ari solar eclipse and it's going to close out the
Ares Libra eclipse cycle that has been happening since April
of twenty twenty three. So if you're new to listening
(02:19):
to this podcast, make sure to go back to my
episode Eclipse Stories that I put out in September of
twenty twenty four. You can just like search Eclipse Stories
in the search bar of this podcast, and that'll give
you a better understanding of like what themes have been
brought up for your specific rising sign over the last
two years with these Aris Libra eclipses, and also what
(02:42):
you can expect moving forward now that the eclipses are
about to fully shift into Pisces in Virgo, Like the
next time we get eclipses in September of this year,
there'll be one in Pisces and they'll be one in Virgo.
No more Aries Libra. And also just to differentiate between
a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse, because we got
the lunar eclipse in Virgo a week ago. When was
(03:06):
that March fourteenth? Yeah, And lunar eclipses are pretty similar
to full moons, where it's like it's a culmination of activity.
You're having these bigger realizations come up. Things might be
happening more. And for this past eclipse, things were happening
more in the Virgo rule part of your chart, like
maybe there were bigger reflections happening, or you had this
(03:29):
big realization about what you want to change or make
adjustments to their or you were seeing greater momentum in
that part of your life. And now that we get
a solar eclipse, it's definitely lower energy, and it's a
lot about planting the seeds for future projects, future habits,
future relationships. But what that actually turns out to be
(03:52):
is not totally visible yet. So you may just have
this like initial idea that you want to look into further,
and you could see that idea continue to develop over
the next several months, and especially once Saturn moves into
Aries in late May of this year. Saturn will also
serve to solidify the themes that this eclipse is bringing
(04:15):
up for you. So it's kind of like you're having
that initial urge to maybe make a change or do
something different in the Aries worldhouse of your chart, and
then Saturn will come along and be like, Okay, how
are we actually going to get there? How are we
going to lay foundations and be more serious about developing
these themes in this area of your life. So think
(04:36):
about realization idea coming now, maybe not fully seeing the
full picture there or knowing exactly how to act on it,
and then seeing greater activity once we get into late
May June July August of this year and Saturn inners
that same part of your chart. So yeah, we have
that eclipse on Saturday, March twenty ninth, and then one
(04:59):
day later, on March thirtieth, Neptune changes signs. Neptune has
been in pis Se since twenty twelve. It's going to
dip into Aries for several months in twenty twenty five.
It'll eventually go back to Pisces in I believe it's
October until the end of January twenty twenty six, and
(05:19):
once we get to end of January twenty twenty six
and it moves back into aries, it will be fully
in aries until twenty thirty nine. So kind of major
world history new chapter starting with Neptune entering a new sign,
And it'll be interesting to see, like what type of
cultural shift goes on with this transit, and how different
(05:43):
themes are emphasized in the arts and creative fields, and
also what types of things in culture start to feel
more confusing or deceptive or just like hard to read,
because that's what we think of when we think of Neptune.
It blurs the boundaries. It makes it hard to see
(06:04):
what's actually real. I'll get more into this when we
get to this transit later on in the episode, but
follow up to last week's episode, when I talked about
the Sun Venus Kasimi cycles and how a Sun Venus casimi,
when the Sun and Venus meet up at the same
degree of a specific zodiac sign, happens every four years.
(06:27):
One when Venus is not retrograde, four years later when
Venus is retrograde, four years after that one Venus is
not retrograde, and so on and so forth. So you'll
get kind of similar themes pop up in your life
in these four year repetitions. And I received an Instagram
DM from someone saying that top Shop in London's Oxford
(06:50):
Circus is reopening. I don't know about the other stores
that top Shop had closed down, but they were saying,
oh my god, this is so literal with what you
were talking about, because top Shop closed down in late
twenty twenty early twenty twenty one, right around the time
of the last Sun Venus casmion Arees. And now here
(07:11):
we are four years later, right at this next Sun
Venus casimi in Ares but Venus is retrograde this time,
and top Shop has just now announced that they're opening
or reopening. Sorry, And this is so Venus retrograde themed,
because Venus literally represents fashion in style and these types
(07:34):
of themes are being brought back from the past, like
top shops at past brand that's reopening now and announcing
this during the sun Venus Casmion arees. So just wanted
to share that literal story of astrology playing out. And
before we get into it, just a reminder that the
are Season monthly Forecast is out now for paid subscribers
(07:55):
on substack. That is where I go in depth on
all of the major trans it's happening throughout Airy Season
for each rising sign, so about two thousand now they're
getting close to twenty five hundred words per rising sign.
I need to reel it back in again, but it
goes over all of the transits for the next month,
all the transits were about to talk about this week,
(08:15):
like the solar eclipse, Neptune, Venus, and Mercury changing signs
and what that means for you specifically, So if you're
interested in that, it's available on my substack also called
Astrology with Alice. But with that being said, let's get
into the astrology for the week ahead. We are starting
off the week on Monday, March twenty fourth. The moon
is preparing to shift out of Capricorn into Aquarius, which
(08:39):
will happen around eleven thirty am Eastern Time, so time
zones ahead. Moon is still going to be in Capricorn
for the majority of your day, and until the moon
leaves Capricorn, you may have a slower start to your day,
like maybe there's not a lot of activity or momentum
taking place earlier on on Monday, So if you need
to move slower in waking up and doing your work,
(09:01):
allow yourself to do that. Because once the moon moves
into Aquarius, where it will be for the rest of Monday,
all of Tuesday, and for a large part of Wednesday,
you may feel more like up for socializing and for
connecting with people. And later on on Monday, like you
don't normally think of Monday as like a social day
of the week, but maybe it actually is for this
(09:24):
specific week, like maybe you're reaching out to friends and
making plans for Tuesday or Wednesday. Or it could also
be that you want to keep your mind engaged through
learning or writing or having stimulating conversations with people. So
a great day for brainstorming, tending to communication based work,
anything that really forces you to like think and strategize
(09:47):
in that way. Once the moon moves into Aquarius, it'll
also be sextile to the Sun, Mercury, and Venus, which
are all in aries. So I definitely see this as
an uplifting Monday where you're having more interactions with people. However,
also going on at the same time throughout the middle
of the day on Monday, the Moon is coming up
(10:09):
on a conjunction with Pluto in Aquarius, so there might
be some power dynamics that come up within your relationships
or at work, or maybe you're struggling to let go
of your control over a certain situation or not be
so obsessive about something. You could even be surprised by
the intensity of feelings that come up midday early afternoon
(10:32):
on Monday, or like looking at this in a more
productive way, maybe you're channeling your focus towards research and
you could feel way more focused than usual, like you're
really going deep on one specific subject. Monday is also
the day of the Sun Mercury causinian airees. So last
(10:52):
week's episode we talked about the Sun Venus Casimi. Now
two days later on Monday, the Sun and mercury meeting
up at four degrees of areas, and this is what
I refer to as the new moon phase of mercury.
And around early March, when mercury reached its greatest elongation,
so its greatest distance from the Sun, you may have
(11:15):
had inspiration come due for your next project or hobby
or other plan in life or some type of communication
based work. But then mercury retrograde hit and that may
have gotten slowed down as we've gotten further into March,
or maybe momentarily forgotten. Now with this Mercury sun kasimi,
which marks the midpoint of the mercury retrograde, you may
(11:38):
be urged to reflect further into a specific idea or
gather details for an upcoming project, think anything communication related
that involves planning, writing, speaking, or maybe even travel. All
of this will get emphasized on Monday, and this could
also linger into Tuesday too, So really looking at the
start of this work week and with this kazmi, you
(12:01):
may receive necessary insight and into what you want to
develop next, like what type of content do you want
to create or how might you convey your knowledge and
ideas to people in different ways these cycles between mercury
and the sun, and like specifically when there are mercury
sun kazimis. One happens when mercury is retrograde, and then
a couple months from now we'll get one when mercury
(12:24):
is no longer retrograde. These are so important if you
are a writer, speaker, teacher, communicator, or create content in
any way, because they show you when it's time to
put out new content versus when it's time to pull
back in brainstorm. So right now, with this sun mercury retrograde, Kasini,
(12:45):
we're still in the brainstorming phase, but you're starting to
get ideas and an inspiration for what you want to
do next, and activity could start to pick up with
writing or speaking or whatever it is you're working on
at the moment a little bit more in the days
that follow this. KASMI, I have a whole sub stack
on this topic that I believe it's free to read.
(13:07):
I put it out at the end of twenty twenty three.
It's called something like tracking mercury cycles for writing something
along those lines if you scroll back in case you're
interested in learning more there. But this sun mercury Kasini
also points to how Monday might be busier with admin
work or you could be surprisingly social, even if that
means just running into people you know as you go
(13:29):
about your day. Okay, moving on to Tuesday, March twenty fifth.
The moon is still in Aquarius all day, but it'll
be forming a trine with Jupiter and Gemini on Tuesday,
So again we have another day that's centered around how
you interact with people and maybe having greater communication with
friends or the people you work with. And you may
(13:50):
also be curious in consuming a lot of different information.
You might be doing a lot more learning at the
start of this week, and again we're getting a good
day for meetings tackling communication based work, and maybe you're
also reflecting on how can you be more community involved
or supportive of the people in your life. There's really
not a lot happening on Tuesday. Besides that, I guess
(14:13):
I should also mention that we're very much in the
final days before a new moon, which happens to be
a solar eclipse this time, so overall energy like headed
into the rest of this week is lower, and it
could be that you're just wrapping up work or wrapping
up a chapter and priorities that have been consuming you
for the last month in order to close out that
(14:36):
phase and reflect on what comes next. Next we are
to Wednesday, March twenty six. The moon is still an
Aquarius until a little before four pm Eastern. It'll be
void of course, though, so I see Wednesday as a
lower energy day overall, I really wouldn't try to send
out any important emails or pitches to people. Try to
(14:57):
continue on with like whatever you have star and go
easy on yourself. You don't need to be doing the
most on Wednesday. I would just like try to get
through whatever's on your to do list and not start
anything new. This could be a good day to get
out of your mind and connect more with your body,
especially because the moon will be connecting with your honest
in Taurus, which may leave you feeling a bit anxious
(15:19):
or on edge. Around four pm Eastern, the moon leaves
Aquarius moves into Pisces, So moving into the second half
of this week, you may feel noticeably more introverted or
a bit sensitive. Maybe you want to like kind of
pull back from being so involved with other people and
spend time in your own company, prioritizing your creative interests,
(15:41):
or even a spiritual practice like journaling, astrology, walking outside
and like even just connecting with nature, whatever that whatever
that activity is, that just helps you feel more uplifted
and like there's more to life and you're connected to
something greater. Try to lean into that. Once we get
to the end of Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, let's move on
(16:05):
to Thursday, March twenty seventh. Now the Pisces transits continue
as Venus retrograde moves back into Pisces on this day
and it'll join Neptune there at the twenty ninth degree
of Pisces, and then the moon also remains in Pisces
all day, So again we're getting another day where you
could feel more emotional or sensitive, or you may just
(16:26):
find it hard to concentrate, especially on a lot of
very focused or detailed work. Pisces is more for thinking
with the creative intuitive side of your brain, and especially
like having Venus contact Neptune, it just may have you
daydreaming or fantasizing about your future more than being grounded
(16:49):
in like practical tasks and reality and looking more closely
at how the venus retrograde is moving back into Pisces. Pisces,
that is actually a way better sign for Venus to
be in than ares wise, because pieces is the sign
of Venus's exaltation, so everything that Venus represents creativity, style, art, money,
(17:10):
relationships may be easier to tap into, and these areas
may start to flow in a way that wasn't really
happening in the earlier part of the retrograde, Like maybe
all of these themes just feel less frustrating with Venus
meeting up with Neptune. Though on Thursday, and this also
carries a bit into Friday, there may be something that
(17:32):
feels confusing or literal miscommunication could come up in a relationship,
so before things will flow more easily, we get this
little blip where you could feel frustrated, especially if you
feel like you're reaching out to people or giving your
energy to someone and they're not valuing you or not
giving you the same back in return. So this may
(17:53):
be an important transit in helping you to realize when
do you need to speak up and not be so
available and and I don't know, just like selflessly giving
in relationships. On the other hand, though, this may be
a transit that does ask you to maybe let down
your guard and be more compassionate or open with others,
like especially if you're someone that I don't know, maybe
(18:15):
like struggles to lessen your control in relationships or open
up fully. Maybe this transit will actually help you to
do that. It could also be that you're more open
to learning about art, music, culture, beauty, really leaning into
your creative side. And I don't want anyone to tell
me that you're not creative, because I truly feel like
(18:36):
everyone is a creative person deep down. You just have
to find what resonates for you. And even if that
isn't literally drawing or painting, there's always a way in
which you express yourself uniquely, or interests that are very
much your own, So trying to maybe uncover those at
(18:58):
some point this week, last thing I'll say about Venus
Neptune and this conjunction. There could be some confusion about
finances that comes up around Thursday Friday, or receiving payment
from something. If you're self employed or like work on
a freelance basis, that will pass. Maybe you also just
want to give some careful thought into what you're spending
(19:20):
your money on and if that's a value to you
before you impulsively buy something. Then we are to Friday,
March twenty eighth. Friday is going to be felt pretty
similarly to Thursday, with the moon and Pisces coming up
on that conjunction with Neptune and Venus and Pisces, so
again like heightened sensitivity, maybe also heightened intuition, like really
(19:42):
try to listen to what your emotions are telling you.
At the end of this week. In the morning though
so mainly time zones ahead will notice this more for
a larger part of your Friday, the moon will be
conjunct Saturn in Pisces, so there may be a heavier
start to your day, or there's some minor frustration or
delays that you run into, or you just feel kind
(20:02):
of weighed down. That energy will lift once we get
further into Friday, like later in the morning Eastern, So
if you're ahead of America in time zones, maybe your
evening night on Friday will just feel like easier than
the rest of your day. And by Friday, we are
one day out from this solar eclipse. So if you
(20:24):
feel very drained and slow on Friday, that's normal. I
expect a lot of us to feel that way. Friday
night would be a great time to stay in and
keep to yourself. Maybe you do want a journal about
realizations that are coming up at this eclipse, or intentions
or goals that you want to keep in the back
of your mind and further develop over the coming months.
(20:45):
You could also want to think about like what do
you want to let go of? And also by letting
go of something, what is that allowing you to move
forward into And by taking this necessary time to yourself
to reflect, maybe it's made clear who and what you
want to invest your energy into over the coming weeks.
(21:05):
Right around four thirty pm Eastern, the moon moves out
of pist season into Aries, So maybe some of this
low energy, overly sensitive type energy is lifting a bit.
But again, the eclipse is about to happen. Really don't
expect to be doing a lot on Friday, and if
you do have plans, maybe you feel the urge to
(21:26):
go home a bit earlier or just not meet up
with a ton of people, more like one on one
kind of intimate interactions. Okay, let's move on to the
actual day of the eclipse now, Saturday, March twenty ninth.
The solar eclipse in Aries happens right at seven am
Eastern on Saturday morning, and it's going to be occurring
(21:47):
at nine degrees of Aries, so if you're in Australia
or Asia or like way ahead of this time zone,
the eclipse may actually be on Sunday the thirtieth for you,
not the twenty ninth, so you may want to do
some relations. But as I mentioned in the intro, this
is the third and final eclipse we've had in Aries
since April twenty twenty three. So every single Ari season
(22:10):
at this time of year for the past three years,
we've had an Arias eclipse, and we finally wrapped up
the Libra eclipses in October. But now with this Aris one,
the Aris Libra eclipse series will be officially over and
will be fully into Pisces Virgo eclipses for the next year.
Actually not even like the next year, because we get
(22:30):
an Aquarius eclipse next February. I am so pumped for
Leo Aquarius eclipses in twenty twenty six, so it's like
a very fast transition. It's like, Okay, Aries Libra ends,
and then literally like in nine ten months we start
getting Leo Aquarius eclipses. Anyways, I always think of the
(22:51):
last eclipse that happens in a pair of signs like
that series that's been going on as being like a
final push to make a chance change, take a risk,
or further develop something in that part of your life.
And maybe whatever you were starting or whatever initial changes
happened back in early twenty twenty three when that first
(23:12):
areas eclipse happened, that story that's unfolded related to the
areas world house of your chart maybe becoming full circle
now or there's been like changes that have been built
upon that first initial change, So like a series that
has been building over the last two years. And I
want to briefly touch upon some key themes that certain
(23:33):
rising signs have been experiencing so you get a better
idea of like, okay, maybe that actually these actually have
been prominent themes since spring of twenty twenty three, and
now it's like that final push, like what else are
you going to do there? How are you having more
confidence in this part of your life? So for Fire
Sign risings, these areas eclipses have been a lot about
your sense of identity. You're like, what knowledge you're interested
(23:57):
in learning about opportunity related to writing, teaching, sharing your ideas,
developing your own creative voice, and finding hobbies that you
love outside of work. For Earth sign risings, these series
of Areas eclipses may have had to do more with
mental health matters, or your spiritual beliefs, or your home
(24:20):
life and your inner self and how you can heal
certain emotions surrounding the past or whatever you're currently facing
in your relationships. For Air sign risings, this Areas eclipse
and the ones that have come before it have had
a lot to do with relationships of all different types,
so whether that's changes in friendships, dating, business partnerships, they've
(24:45):
been a lot about how you relate to other people
and how you can better communicate. And then with Water
sign risings, this series of Areas eclipses has been a
lot about career and getting ahead with work or making
adjustments to what types of work you take gone also
considering what is your overall life calling or how can
(25:05):
you be more of your own boss, like how can
you develop entrepreneurial type projects and endeavors. And maybe you've
been thinking more about like your relationship to work and
how you can balance that with your personal life and
health matters. So see how these themes mentioned for you
may become much more prominent or go through significant changes
(25:27):
in the coming weeks, and even if nothing is happening
related to these themes on the exact day or week
of the eclipse, it doesn't mean that nothing's happening there.
Eclipses really break up your life into these six month
increments where you're noticing, okay, this area's world house of
my chart and also the Virgo one because we just
had an eclipse there those two houses, that is where
(25:50):
the biggest changes and the most realizations are coming out
at the moment. So those themes are really key to
take note of for the next six months. It's also
important to look at where is the ruling planet of
this eclipse. The rolling planet is Mars, and Mars is
currently in cancer, so this eclipse may also bring in
(26:10):
Cancrian themes like home, family, where you belong, who your
closest people are, and you may want to also kind
of tie in themes related back to the cancer worldhouse
of your chart and maybe how is there more energy
and activity happening in that part of your life too
than normally would be taking place. So for some of you,
(26:33):
this eclipse in Mars transit combined may be like there's
really visible changes happening in your life in the case
of me, though, like I've got a ninth house Area's
eclipse and a twelfth house Mars transit, so really nothing
visible is happening, but a lot is going on internally
with me, Like this is a huge time for learning
and reflection. So sometimes, just like in general with astrology,
(26:57):
you get these transits where changes aren't really obvious to
anyone else but you. And then there's these other times
in your life where you do go through noticeable changes,
like moving homes or moving cities, or changing careers or
like having a baby. You get the point, but it's
it's like, even if these huge visible shifts that everyone
(27:20):
can see aren't taking place for you, there still could
be important changes going on within yourself. And the main
aspect that this eclipse is making is a sextile to
Jupiter and Gemini, which I view as lending like more
of an uplifting, hopeful type energy, especially more optimistic than
(27:42):
the Virgo eclipse we just had was because that Virgo
eclipse is weighed down by Saturn and Neptune, so I
expect this one to be more energetic and optimistic then
the rest of Saturday. We're coming off of that eclipse
energy the moon still is moving through air, so you
could see a slight increase in energy. Maybe you want
(28:04):
to make more of an effort to reach out to
people or schedule some type of active plan for your
day because the moon is now in its waxing phase.
One last transit to note for Saturday is that Mercury
is following Venus and moving back into Pisces two, so
it's doing that same thing that Venus did earlier on
this week. And taking note of these two houses ares
(28:28):
the Ares World House in your chart and the Piss's
World House in your chart, maybe topics related to the
Ares House that we're also brought up with this eclipse
happening there are starting to feel less confusing, and now
your reflection and needing to revisit or reflect on something
is shifting more so to the Piss's Worldhouse of your chart.
(28:52):
So just to give an example, like if you're an
Aquarius rising, maybe third house matters, so the way you
write and communicate and share your ideas and topics you're
interested in learning about, or maybe also the relationship you
have with your siblings that could have been more prominent
(29:12):
earlier on in these retrogrades and now As we move
into the second half of the retrograde second house, matter
such as like money, how am I going to reflect
on my role at work? What can I do to
bring in more income? How can I be more mindful
of my spending habits? That type of thing will be
more prominent. So really looking at like, what are these
(29:33):
two houses in your chart? How is like it shifting
from one being confusing to like the other? Now needing
more of that reflection time. Okay, I think I've spent
enough time on Saturday. Let's move on to Sunday to
wrap up this week. Okay, where it's to Sunday, March thirtieth.
It's the last day of this week, but it's certainly
(29:55):
not the most boring day. In the wake of this
eclipse that just took place on Saturday, Neptune will be
changing signs on Sunday, moving out of pieces and into aries.
Neptune has been in Pisce since twenty twelve. As I
mentioned earlier, Neptune will go back to Pisces later this
year and finish out the last couple months of twenty
(30:16):
twenty five in the first month of twenty twenty six
in Pisces, so it is just a several month long
sneak peak of this longer transit of Neptune and Arees
that we're getting in. That longer transit will run from
end of January twenty twenty six until twenty thirty nine.
And with all of these outer planet transits like Your Honest,
(30:38):
Neptune Pluto there really felt more subtly because they last
so long they last. I mean, in the case of
Your Honest that's the shortest one, it's eight years been.
In the case of Pluto, we can get up to
a thirty year transit through just one sign of the zodiac.
And because this is that initial ingress of Neptune into
(30:59):
a new Sun and therefore new house of your chart,
maybe notice right off the bat in the next few months,
especially when Saturn also moves into Aries and meets up
with Neptune there throughout June, July, August, how you could
be developing this new outlook on the ares world house
of your chart. You might be dissolving long held mindsets
(31:22):
that you've had there and realizing, wait, I actually need
to open myself up to thinking about this part of
my life in an entirely new way. And maybe you're
opening yourself up to having greater creativity or spirituality there,
or you're learning how to be more open and giving
in general. However, this Neptune ingress into the ares house
(31:45):
of your chart will maybe make you more prone to
confusion or deception or just like a general lack of
organization in that part of your life, and that may
feel very difficult, like I know, like I'm just thinking,
you know, like when Neptune goes through, like let's say
it's your tenth house, your cancer rising moves into your
(32:06):
tenth house, maybe it's like what you've been doing in
your career up until this point just no longer feels
as meaningful to you, and that could feel very confusing,
like what am I supposed to do next? I thought
I had this, I thought I had my next five
to ten years all mapped out, and now I'm searching
for something that speaks to me on a greater creative
(32:29):
or spiritual level. So that's just one example of how
it might be affecting a certain area of your life
and how you may want to have deeper meaning there.
And people who will be feeling this Neptune transit the
most will be people that have like zero to one
degree Aris placements in their chart and blending these Neptune
(32:52):
themes with the topics of whatever planet or angle is affected.
So maybe if it's your sun, if you have like
a March twenty first, Mar twenty second birthday, Neptune is
coming up on and going to move right over your
Ari's sun, And maybe you are questioning, like, what is
my identity? Who am I as a person? How can
I open myself up to being more spiritual and compassionate
(33:15):
and maybe not caring about material things as much, but
just needing to have that deeper connection to my life
in some way. So really important to look at not
only if you have Aris planets, but also other cardinal
signs at very early degrees of these cardinal signs. And
I also want to talk about how Neptune's a planet
(33:36):
that tends to overly romanticize the topics of the sign
and house in which it is transiting, making it hard
to see what is real and what isn't there. So first,
needing to be more aware of the house, world bay
areas in your chart, like needing to stay on top
of things a bit more there so that you don't
end up in tricky situations, but maybe also noting aries
(33:58):
themes in general will be amplified by these this Neptune
transit and that will be felt by everyone. So to
touch upon the more challenging topics that might be brought
up with this transit. If we're thinking about the sign
of Ares, it has a lot to do with independence
and leadership and having Neptune in or this sign, maybe
there's a lot of confusion surrounding like who is in charge,
(34:20):
what makes a good leader? Who should I be looking
up to? And at its absolute worst, Neptune and Ares
can indicate like over romanticizing war or violence. So noting
how these themes pop up on a more global scale,
I do want to give some positives for this transit though,
(34:41):
since the world is complete chaos at the moment. But
Ares is also a sign about taking initiative and figuring
out what motivates you. So Neptune entering this sign that's
all about drive and energy and motivation. It could mean
that a lot more of us are motivated by things
that we feel a deeper speed, ritual or creative connection to,
(35:02):
or what once motivated us no longer has that same power,
leaving us feeling confused at first, but ultimately finding deeper
meaning elsewhere. And maybe that's completely outside of like success
or being like the best person or the top of
the game. Maybe like you're kind of redefining your relationship
(35:25):
to success or like what it means to be your
own individual. I don't know. It's like Neptune transits are
so hard to describe when they're happening. I feel like
I honestly won't have a good grasp on what this
transit means until twenty thirty nine when it's over and
we can all look back at what's happened in the
world related to these Neptune and Aries related themes. So
(35:50):
stay tuned on this one. I'm honestly still trying to
figure out what Neptune and Pisces transiting my eighth house
last year or not last year. The past decade or
so has been about like it's very hard to grasp intangible,
concrete terms like what was that transit? So still doing
reflection myself. And if you do want a resource for
(36:11):
understanding like Neptune transits and how they affect your chart,
totally recommend the book Gods of Change, a great resource
for going deeper in learning about Neptune, Uranus and Pluto transits.
And final thing to note for Sunday, the moon will
move into Taurus around four pm Eastern, So if you
(36:36):
feel a little bit like frantic or more energy throughout
the earlier part of the day, come Sunday evening. Sunday night,
we get this cozier into the weekend. It could be
a time for cooking, relaxing, self care, nurturing your body,
doing all of like the fun stuff. So this is
where I leave you for this week. This ended up
(36:56):
being another long episode. The astrology of March is just
unbelievable and I've tried to pack it all into half
an hour. But I hope everyone has a great next
few days. I'm excited to introduce some new type of
content to this podcast soon. I've honestly just been waiting
for all of these retrogrades to finally lift. So stay
(37:17):
tuned for more Thursday episodes coming soon, and see you
back here next week.
