The Basics
BREAKING: No planets are in retrograde (at least for like one second)!
Yes, Mars in Cancer has stationed direct. We’re taking proactive steps forward and are finally through the inner-child tunnel I’ve been droning on about. That said, it’s slow-going, especially in Pisces season. The final frontier of the zodiac, now’s the time to release, accept endings, and grieve. Enjoy the lull (before Aries season pours gasoline on the fire).
Even direct, Mars in Cancer — the sign of home, our sense of security — is still center-stage. Huge outer-planetary shifts are resetting the bounds of our reality. Especially in the US, the state of the world feels deeply unsafe and alienating, as Mars does in this not-so-exalted transit. The remedy? Learning to find home on a smaller scale: in our bodies.
Meanwhile, several planets pile up in Pisces, reverberating the sign’s themes and demands. Neptune calls in art, spirituality, and mental health, while the North Node puts fated healing front and center. Saturn disciplines us into better caring for ourselves, and Mercury’s just nonverbal. As a Pisces new moon arrives tomorrow, these transits combine for what I like to call a mini-eclipse. No, it’s not an actual eclipse, but reflect on September 18, 2024, when the actual-eclipse storyline in Virgo and Pisces opened. Who were you meeting or dating then? What were you working on? How was your health? It’s all reappearing (and ramping back up) in March.
Weekly Highlights & Sign Specifics
On Monday, the Moon, still in Capricorn, opposed Mars in Cancer for an emotional start to the week, asking us to grow up. Are you handling your feelings maturely? Prepare for parent-child dynamics in unexpected places. Find balance and autonomy in your relationships.
Aries and Scorpio: since you’re ruled by Mars, take extra care of yourselves through today and slow down.
On Thursday, a new Moon in Pisces arrives in a loose trine to Mars, which will be in a dominating square to Jupiter in Gemini. Follow the water; a heart-based path can clear Gemini’s confusion around opinions and truths. This hopeful transit carries us more gently than recent bombastic lunations. For the next two weeks: safety, respite, rebirth.
Neptune and the North Node — our destiny — meet in Pisces, supporting art, spirituality, and mental health. Inner-child work can heal physical health issues caused by trauma and stress.
Rex’s Recs:
Do:
Wring out your proverbial towel of sweat, tears, and feelings. Take a spa day, lean into your grieving rituals.
Yoga. Hot, cold, room temp, do it all. Do you avoid stretching because it surfaces the pain of long-held tension? Release; this is how we make our body a home.
Surrender to higher divine flow. Let go of ego narratives.
Don’t:
Think first. Heart overpowers mind this lunar cycle. Surrender to emotions to find new thoughts. Approach people with empathy before analysis.
Say much. Mercury is also in Pisces this week, which is nonverbal. Feel, maybe act, but limit the chatting — think less exposition, more interpretative dance.
Shelter. The shadow of Pisces is hurting ourselves by trying to crawl back into the womb through addiction or other self-undoing behaviors.
Journaling Prompts:
What needs to die or slough off for you to move forward?
How far have you come in advocating for yourself emotionally? How has your emotional literacy improved (can you act emotionally but not reactively)?
What can you do to become your own refuge? What allows you to be your own mother?
What is heart-based wisdom to you?
Where do you need to be consistent? Where are you still self-undoing? What could you be sober from?
