Last week was the needed release we all needed, and this week marks a new chapter. Between the beginning of a new zodiac year to the official beginning of spring, we are finally seeing the light at the end of a very transformative tunnel. Let's navigate this new beginning together, healing fam--
Tarot Card of the Week:
Trust Yourself Through the Unknown
The High Priestess is one of the most layered Tarot cards in my humble opinion, and I love the wisdom in this deck's interpretation. In traditional Tarot, the cloth is hung behind her, representing the mystery, uncertainty, and unknowns of life -- but she clothes herself with it. This symbolism defines the week ahead; it's time to embody your intuition, befriend the unknown, and maybe even make it a comfy cozy fashion statement. Despite the new Zodiac year and spring season beginning, there are still chapters you are closing for good. Let yourself flow with the powerful energy, emotions, and opportunities that show up this week with grace, ease, and as the high priestess you are.
High Priestess Affirmation:
I trust my inner knowing as I navigate the great, powerful unknown.
Astrology Forecast: March 17-23
We have another powerful week of transits happening, and to sum them up in one word, they are: illuminating. Let's breakdown why--
March 19: Neptune Cazimi
On Wednesday, Neptune (unconditional love, art, illusion, addiction) aligns with the Sun to the degree. Neptune Cazimi is the second of four Cazimis happening within a week's span. And naturally, this one occurs in Pisces at 29 degrees, which is a critical degree that marks a significant ending. Makes sense -- Neptune is about to end its 14 year transit through its home sign Pisces and enter Aries for the first time in 150 years next week.
Deep breaths, healing fam. We'll unpack Neptune entering Aries next week.
For now, let's focus on this harmoneous transit we have here. Neptune Cazimi is our final celebration before stepping into the unknown. A planet is in its most pure state when Cazimi, so any illusions, addictions to limited beliefs/mindsets/identities, and/or rose colored glasses are being cleansed and replaced for good -- in a celebratory way. The 29th degree is considered a fame degree, so this could be a memorable day of healing, celebrating, or learning a significant lesson around Neptune's themes for you. This will be wisdom that will carry through the new zodiac year, spring, and even the next 14 years of Neptune's journey through Aries.
March 20: Sun Enters Aries
On Thursday, the Sun leaves dreamy and ethereal Pisces and enters determined and passionate Aries, beginning a new zodiac year AND spring!
AKA it's officially Aries season!
When the sun is in cardinal sign Aries, you can expect to feel more energized and motivated to accomplish projects and to do's. Here's the catch: Venus and Mercury are in retrograde, we're in Eclipse season, and we're halfway throug the Cazimi cycle, so your energy may go to accomplishing old projects, returning to incomplete or unfinished business. A humungous crow flew past my window as I typed that, and crows represent change, endings, and transformation. Let that animal synchronicty be affirmation that, although this is a beautiful new beginning, there are still chapters to close for good.
This is especially an opportune time have some overdue tough conversations if necessary. Venus rules relationships (not just romantic), and Mercury rules communication. You can expect this new zodiac season to start off with tying up loose ends and making sure the endings officially stay as endings.
March 22: Venus Cazimi
On Saturday, we have Venus Cazimi, aka when Venus (relationships, finances, material possessions, beauty) is conjunct to the Sun in Ariesby the exact degree (in this case 2 degrees in Pisces). This is the 3rd of four Cazimis, and similar to Neptune Cazimi, Venus Cazimi is marking the end of a chapter for Venus -- just not as intense of an ending as Neptune.
So look at it this way: Venus has been retrograde in Aries since March 1st, and she continues her journey of evaluation back towards Pisces at this time. Before she enters Pisces, Venus is taking a needed break, grabbing a lavish dinner with the Sun, celebrating the lessons, revelations, and healing done since March 1st.
This will be a fruitful day to review the month so far -- what have you learned, what have you realized, and what have you healed up to this point? You may even receive an opportunity or even unexpected money thanks to the brave healing work you've done leading up to this Cazimi.
Oh, and one more thing! Venus Cazimi happens on the 22nd at 2 degrees. 222 is the angel number that affirms your faith to keep going. So let this day be an affirmation of just that: keep going, and have faith.
