Horoscope for the week beginning March 11
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week
We are on the final countdown to the official start of spring. This year it takes place with an eclipse on either side of the exact date, which is March 19 at 9:31 PST. The Vernal Equinox is symbolically parallel to 6 a.m. or what naturally refers to daybreak. Traditionally and in some respects still, the official start of spring is regarded as the start of a New Year. In this regard, it is easy to imagine that 2016 carries with it an extra twist of celestial intrigue that is destined to synchronize with outer events.
I briefly outlined in last week’s issue what each sign can basically expect regarding the influence of the eclipses. Since they carry an extra charge in comparison to a regular New and Full Moon, the effects will prove pivotal, especially for some. What will occur depends on how it makes aspects to our individual Birth Charts.
Incorporated into this special emphasis is the fact the Uranus and Pluto in Aries and Capricorn respectively remain in close square and now the same is true Saturn and Jupiter, yet in Sagittarius and Virgo respectively. Two Fire Signs squaring off with two Earth Signs, no wonder the global economy is undergoing such upheaval. More on this focus next week.

March 11 – 17
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
As busy as you may be on the outer front, you may be even busier in the back of your mind. Many thoughts, ideas, dreams and impressions are congregating and hoping for harmonious collaboration. Outwardly meanwhile, you are in an adventurous mood. Travel is likely, but you want more than idle travel perks, you want information, knowledge and answers.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
A process of deep changes within you continues. Metamorphosis might be a more accurate term. By now, the results should be quite evident, at least to you. At best, you feel inspired to express yourself creatively. Your ambitions are on a steady rise and, as important as is what you know, your advantage may lie in deciphering who you know at this time.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
There are times when it is our turn to get extra attention and there are times when it might be best to direct more focus on others. This may well be time to devote more of your energies to home and family. Nurturing and health are central themes in this regard. Contending with others implies challenges and, ironically, surrender and humility may be the keys to your strength.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Circumstances are inviting and perhaps pushing you to see a bigger picture. In the deepest sense, you are experiencing a summons of your soul. In other words, to remember who and what you truly are. Spiritual considerations are implied. Regarding more immediate and practical priorities, clarify dates, tasks and procedures to feel centered amidst an otherwise dizzying array of responsibilities.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
Many deep thoughts and reflections are dancing in your mind. The flow is inviting you to enter new territory and to incorporate a fresh set of strategies. The pull to do so will continue for many months to come, but now is the time to take the initial steps. Get comfortable mentally and emotionally with the idea of trying new approaches. There is always another way and the time has come to decipher it.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
The time has come to reach out to a wider spectrum of associations. Meaningful encounters and exchanges with significant others is implied. Rich exchanges of ideas, ideals and dreams could prove inspirational indeed, especially regarding future possibilities. Yet, for the present, avoid leaning on others and be ready to take full responsibility of all your personal affairs.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
Here’s to your health. There are many angles and levels to what constitutes good health. Not surprisingly, upon closer examination, health is a core feature of all religions. The keyword is balance. This is where your sign comes to the fore. The inner riddle is that the balance point is ever moving and a core feature of the wisdom of life is to keep up. This is your cue.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
Your power potential is on a steady rise. However, you have work to do. Specifically, this implies establishing a firm foundation or, at least, fortifying your existing one. Now that the main task is clear, how can you best do it? The answer includes taking the initiative which involves engaging the influence of key movers and shakers. Thirdly, avoid temptations to change others and direct that impulse inward.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
Touching base close to home is likely now. This may certainly include family members and perhaps household politics. It is even more likely that you have been in retreat mode lately. In the deepest respects a soul-searching journey is underway as you rediscover and/or redefine who you are, what are your priorities and the best overall attitude to take.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
A busy time in mind and body continues. Some of your efforts are directed to working behind the scenes and/or within your own mind. This includes managing a transition from a long-standing status quo in your life that is now undergoing a rapid process of change. Trusting this flow is important. It is probably not the best time for major new initiatives, except for those that spell completion.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
Thoughts and reflections about what you truly want are on your mind. These may still be in the dream stage. A growing determination to break through inherited patterns and perhaps unsatisfying lifestyle rhythms are featured. It all begins with fresh perspectives. How to activate these is the other question. It begins with tuning into your deeper needs, a central theme now.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
A pioneering mood continues to guide your focus. Whether in body, mind, heart and/or soul, you feel determined to enter new territory. This includes a broadening of your horizons and thereby sharing knowledge and beauty in a manner reflective of your passions. For practical purposes, it is especially important that you increase your network.
