Mars (Advocate) in Leo squares Jupiter (Teacher-Wise One) in Taurus inviting you to balance your personal desire to be visible with the necessity to track the cost of being too self-focused. The Sun in Gemini squares Saturn in Pisces challenging you to notice if your words and communication are aligned with your compassionate heart.

A doozy of a week with two planets changing signs and both in connection with Pluto. Jupiter (Wise Self) enters Taurus for a year of expanding our wisdom and abilities with stewardship of our resources such as money, time and projects. Jupiter in Taurus squares Pluto (Transformer) in Aquarius challenging you to integrate the desire for comfort and security with the desire for systemic change in service to the world's changes. The New Moon in Taurus supports you to seed new ways to be embodied, practical and connected to the Earth. Mars (Advocate) enters Leo activating your courage to be visible and to shine your gifts. Mars in Leo opposes Pluto in Taurus catalyzing the need to balance personal needs with the needs of the community. Track unconscious any privileged narcissistic patterns and get to their roots so you can shift them.

The Sun (Conscious Self) conjoins Uranus (Maverick) in Taurus illuminating practical paths you can take to shake up outworn habits that limit you and others. Invest your life energy in what brings more spaciousness for everyone. Mercury (Storyteller) goes direct in Taurus after being retrograde for the last 3 weeks. Reflect on what you learned about changes needed to steward your resources better (like time, money and focus). Now go forward with making those changes.

Pluto (Transformer) turns retrograde in Aquarius supporting a 5-month self-reflective review of how to free yourself from patterns of self-marginalization. The Sun (Conscious Self) conjoins Mercury (Storyteller) in its retrograde phase in Taurus to initiate a 4-month process of exploring and manifesting new communication projects. Notice and implement any ideas percolating that support being more pragmatic, grounded and a more effective steward of life resources (yours and the world's). The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio activates dynamic emotional tides that help you to recognize outworn obsessions and resentments that you're ready to release. Get real and free your mind from rutted patterns of grasping so you can dream of a freer life for you, others and the more-than-human world.

Mars (Warrior/ess-Advocate) in Cancer squares Chiron (Wounded Healer) in Aries catalyzing you to compassionately care for your emotional vulnerabilities. Explore what's underneath any prickly passive aggressive moves. Lean into addressing unhealed personal and ancestral wounds of not being able to fully come out as yourself. Compassionately remember that these polarizing times can activate fears of being hurt because you're different than the cultural norms (as if anyone is "normal"). Courageously tend to your difficult emotional wounds and advocate for yourself.

The New Moon Solar Eclipse at the very end of Aries squares Pluto (Transformer) at the beginning of Aquarius. The disk of the Moon (Instinctive Nurturer) eclipses the disk of the Sun (Hero-Heroine) inviting you to release old solar conscious identities and attune with your wild, undomesticated instinctive self. Pluto supports this transformative psycho-spiritual skin-shedding. This is the second New Moon in Aries (the first occurred at Equinox). Time to embody the new changes envisioned at Equinox. Mercury (Communicator) goes retrograde for three weeks in Taurus inviting you to slow the roll with your mind and discern what is worth your life energy? And to answer Earth's poignant call to review how you steward life resources so that all may live.

Track the nudges to re-evaluate where you spend your life energy and to try something different new.

The Full Moon (Instinctive Nurturer) in Libra is opposite the Sun in Aries illuminating your path to balance your individual "do-it-myself" and your "do-it-with others" inner figures. At this Full Moon, the Sun in Aries also conjoins Jupiter (Wise One) and Chiron (Wounded Healer) expanding your ability to embrace your individual nature as a healing offering for the world. "Be yourself, everyone else is already taken."

Venus (Relational One) conjoins Uranus (Maverick) in Taurus waking you up to where you need more grounded authenticity in your relationships, resources and values. Continue to  track the call for radical change in your life whose pulse has begun quietly with last weeks' entrance of Pluto into Aquarius. Explore shifting the "shoulds" to the "possibilities" with all your relationships (inner and outer).

A momentous week where three planets change signs and we all begin an initiatory 20-year cycle of deep social change. The Sun enters Aries to mark Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the call to start over with courage and forward motion. The New Moon at 0° Aries conjuncts Neptune (Visionary) and Mercury (Storyteller)  seeding this new season of your life with renewed vision and ideas. Pluto (Transformer) enters Aquarius ushering in a profound 20 years of systemic change to reclaim the power of the collective. Mars (Advocate) enters Cancer after 8 months in Gemini challenging you to courageously acknowledge your feelings and vulnerability underneath the mental battles you've been fighting since last summer. Take some time this week to notice and mark where you are tracking these essential shifts.
