For the week of March 10-16, 2025, on The Weekly Transit, we explore the theme of Releasing Control as the Full Moon in Virgo illuminates what we may be holding on to too tightly. Scott begins with Oscar insights, examining the astrological profiles of winners Zoe Saldana and Adrien Brody, both born with the Moon aligning with their Ascendant—a powerful placement shared by many acclaimed actors, including Robert De Niro, Barbara Streisand, and Jack Nicholson. He also explores the common Mercury-Neptune aspects in all five Oscar-nominated directors, revealing how this planetary combination enables them to translate fantasy into reality through storytelling.

This week's transits begin with Mercury conjunct Venus retrograde in Aries (March 8-14), creating a potent invitation to articulate who you are, what you want, and what you're willing to give in return. Simultaneously, the Sun, conjunct Saturn in Pisces (March 9-14), asks you to take responsibility for your dreams and confront what's holding you back. These transits culminate in the Full Moon in Virgo at 23° (March 13), the sixth consecutive full moon at approximately 23-24°, continuing a pattern that has repeatedly aligned with Uranus in Taurus since October—revolutionizing our relationship to the material world.

The week concludes with Mercury turning retrograde at 9° Aries (March 14), beginning three weeks of reflection on authentic self-expression that will culminate with the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 29. Supporting this introspective journey, the Sun in Pisces forms a sextile with Uranus in Taurus (March 11-15), encouraging the re-imagination of your self-worth and values.

This is a week to let go—to release the critical inner voice, loosen your grip on perfectionism, and allow abundance to flow. Scott reminds listeners, "It's what you're holding on to so tightly that may prevent you from manifesting your dreams into reality. If you just let go, you create the space and opportunity for those dreams to come to fruition." By recognizing your unique gifts and celebrating your inherent perfection, you open yourself to the flow of life that allows your authentic self to emerge. Where in your life are you ready to let your hair down and stop holding on so tightly?
