For the week of March 3-9, 2025, on The Weekly Transit, we explore the theme of Authentic Communication as Mercury transits into Aries, where it will begin its retrograde on March 14th. Scott emphasizes the importance of being real, honest, open, and transparent in our communications while reflecting on the entrepreneurial spirit of his podcast guests, connecting their unique creative journeys to Pluto in Aquarius and the celebration of individuality. This week's celebrity highlight features Mel Robbins, whose Aries North Node and Full Moon birth chart perfectly exemplifies the Aries energy of trusting instincts and taking quick action.

Scott shares personal insights about our collective hypnosis—the belief that we don't matter or that others hold more power over our lives than we do. He recounts receiving a message from a distressed family member about political concerns, using this as a springboard to discuss how childhood experiences shape our neural pathways. He explains how the traumas we experience as helpless children create protective thought patterns that eventually harden and perpetuate the very frequencies they were designed to shield us from, comparing these limiting patterns to a child's car seat that no longer fits us as adults.

Scott explores Mel Robbins' astrological profile, noting her birth with the North Node, Moon, Chiron, and Saturn all in Aries, opposing her planets in Libra and Scorpio. This polarization in her chart explains her work on overcoming people-pleasing tendencies and learning to trust her instincts—themes evident in her books: The 5 Second Rule and The Let Them Theory. Scott connects Robbins' chart to the current Mercury entering Aries transit (March 3-29), encouraging quick but not hurried thinking and authentic self-expression.

Additional transits include Mercury Sextile Pluto in Aquarius (March 4-6), helping us break free from external control and reclaim our personal power; the Sun in Pisces Squares the Moon in Gemini (March 6), prompting compassionate curiosity about what emerges from our unconscious; and the Sun in Pisces forms a supportive Trine with Mars in Cancer (March 6-8), giving us courage to delve into past traumas and rewire our protective but limiting thought patterns.

This is a week to protect your mind by recognizing when external voices have infiltrated your thoughts and created fear. It's time to disassemble the neural wiring created during childhood trauma and replace it with patterns that support your adult self through self-compassion and authentic communication. As Scott reminds listeners, "When you have the courage to fight for yourself in your own mind, not out of fear, but out of love," you practice the most authentic communication of all.
