Astrology Forecast: March 10-16
There are some big transits happening this week, and now it's time to finally dive in--
March 12: Saturn Cazimi
On Wednesday at 3:28 am PT, we have Saturn Cazimi. This means that Saturn (karma, tough lessons turned great success) will be to within a 17 minute radius of the Sun's center. "Cazimi" is Arabic for "the heart of the sun," so Saturn will be at the same degree as the sun, in its heart. This represents the purification, clarity, renewal, and rebirth of the planet, and guess what? This is the first Cazimi of four happening in the remainder of March. That's not common!
Having Saturn lead the Cazimi cycle we're beginning, you may receive auspicious opportunities enter your life based on the tough lessons you've been navigating since March 2023, when Saturn originally entered Pisces. You may also have empowered revelations around these tough lessons that can help you create structure, long term plans, and clarity around a successful solution.
Sagittarius, Gemini, Pisces, and Virgo are affected by this transit the most.
March 13: Total Lunar Eclipse Near the South Node
Also known as the Blood Moon, Earth will be directly center of the Sun in Pisces and the moon in Virgo, creating a red-orange hue due to the Sun's light shining on the Earth's atmosphere. That's what we call a Total Lunar Eclipse, aka the Blood Moon. Eclipses are notorious for shining light on Inner Truths that have been hidden for far too long. Think of it this way: the Blood Moon is here to cleanse your life force, aka your blood. Any limited beliefs, mindsets, genetic trauma, or subconscious patterns that no longer serve you -- that actually hold you back -- are coming up to the surface to be cleared for good.
With the revelations and structured plan coming from Saturn Cazimi the day before, the Blood Moon is here to clear whatever emotional or behavioral attachments are standing in your way. It's time to let go of you being your worst enemy.
March 14: Mercury Retrograde in Aries
On Friday, Mercury (communication, transportation) stations retrograde in passionate and determined Aries. Did you really think the deep-seeded blocks that come up on the Blood Moon go for good in one night?! Healing takes times and integration, and Mercury Retrograde is gifting you a three week cycle of doing just that. Any overdue conversations with loved ones or community members that have caused hurt or conflict may be addressed and healed. Conversations with yourself are happening too -- it's time to understand where your painpoints come from. The only way to remove weeds from a garden is to get to their roots. The same applies here.
