Horoscope for the week beginning March 13
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the week
This week is extra special for several reasons.
First it marks the last official week of winter. But the really big and exciting news is that Uranus will form its seventh and final exact square with Pluto. By now, this pivotal aspect has been addressed numerous times over the past several years and it is among the top messages delivered by many astrologers all over the world. Basically, the conjunction or seed event began in 1965.
Among its core themes is a gender and sexual revolution destined to produce changes regarding our attitudes towards both. Looking to the world we can see many positive and many outright negative examples. The final aspect has a way of pushing the issues and themes implied to the surface to be cleared or reintegrated in preparation for the next phase. So we can expect some major themes and issues, and events linked to this gender equality and sexuality purification process to hit the headlines.
The New Moon on March 20 is a Solar Eclipse that occurs at the final degree of Pisces or what can also be regarded as the omega point of the entire Zodiac.
The official moment of Spring Equinox occurs 13 hours later. Two weeks later we will experience the third of four Lunar Eclipses comprising a rare tetrad. These powerful signs, which are simply parts of a much larger series of omens of change, indicate that we live in very complex and troubled times but that changes are fast approaching. It is within our individual and collective will to resolve these issues but we had better increase our efforts and now.

March 13 – 19
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Everyone is experiencing pressure to overcome past patterns and rhythms and activate new ones, not least of all you. However, as much as you may want to be ready, you may not be. Perhaps you have yet to realize what the issue is, what you are meant to overcome. Themes of surrender and sacrifice versus denial and avoidance seek balance with virtues of vision and courage.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
Sometimes the challenges we face remain hidden, lurking perhaps within our body or our subconscious or as basic as the basement of your home. To resolve the situation or bring about the solutions you seek, these hidden elements must be identified, brought out into the open, exposed to the light. Resolve is required and getting distracted by others is the surface challenge to overcome.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
You have entered a time when you are meant to further define and activate what makes you special, talented and/or able. It will require that you step through and beyond casual attitudes and perspectives. Commitment is a key word. This may be a time of graduation or of promotion. Ending and completion is the other side of the story. This is a call to rise to the occasion.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Family and/or relationship interests, responsibilities or concerns are demanding more of your focus. These may be requiring a more empathetic approach than usual. Balancing your time with an emerging learning curve is also implied or at least the prospect of and thoughts or investigations into it. Investigations and investments with long term considerations are woven into this plot.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
Deep thoughts and reflections regarding your overall sense of security and perhaps that of others are running through your mind. These may literally touch into realities linked to birth and death and rebirth too. Taking initial steps in new directions is ideal but may be more challenging than anticipated. Yet the times are calling for adaptation to an accelerating flow of change.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Shifts and changes on relationship fronts are rolling in. Circumstances of late have possibly revealed some wounds and blind spots. At worst you feel hurt and confused. However, with the right attitude you can embrace these experiences as opportunities to grow, to become more mature, to deepen intimacy and/or increase the likelihood of increased relationship success to come.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
Making deliberate efforts to produce and ensure a healthy flow continues. This is a call to weigh options and analyze less and take more decisive action. As usual, cooperation and diplomacy remains important. How can you get the attention you want and still perpetuate harmony? Opportunities for expansion on all relationship fronts remain strong and will through to late summer.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
A very active imagination woven with intuitions to innovate is yours to enjoy now. This cycle will continue for about two to three weeks yet. It includes the prospect of expansion yet based on carefully calculated risk. It also requires investment and/or perhaps payment of dues. Surrender of certain habit patterns is also implied and these are linked to sex and relationships.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
A time of new beginnings continues. In certain respects this may feel like a gestation phase. Questions of truth, ethics and principles are beating stronger than ever in your heart. An experiential and experimental approach may work best and wait about six months before making deeper commitments if possible. Yet a steadily rising state of new responsibility and power is emerging.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
You have entered a cycle of mixed blessings. On one hand it speaks of opportunity, returns and abundance. However, there are certain relationships or patterns that may be beginning to dissolve. Handled well, you will move on to new experiences and away from involvements or expressions that have served their time and feel richer for them, literally and figuratively.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
Replacing the old with the new is linked to perceptions. The changing flow of time is pushing you to new perspectives and approaches. These may still yet be in their learning and experimental stages. In some respects, this is a time of returns for past efforts. Yet, you may be on catch-up mode as well. All amidst an expansive time, you may feel pulled in a few directions.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
A process of entering new territory continues. This may be literal but also symbolic. These new steps and perspectives point to new horizons of experience. Letting go of long standing rhythms of activity is part of the plot. Although you should have reason to feel confident, the task may require extra efforts and faithful follow through.
