ST. GEORGE — March is a month of major astrological shifts that begin this week, as several planets move into the 29th degree, and Venus conjunct Jupiter marks what many astrologers refer to as the most romantic day of the year.
With the moon in lighthearted, inquisitive Gemini until Wednesday, the desire to think, learn and communicate will serve as an undercurrent to the larger influences developing into mid-week. One of which is Pluto, now transiting the 29th degree of Capricorn.
The 29th degree indicates the ending of a cycle and comes from the Greek word “anareta,” which means “destroyer.” But this needn’t be understood in a negative way. Rather, this energy can be understood as the finale of one lesson before the beginning of a new one. After all, from out of destruction, the metaphorical phoenix rises.
Slow-moving Pluto is the planet of power, transformation and control, and at 29 degrees Capricorn, Pluto urges us to transcend routine and seek inner understanding gained from suffering. This is about looking at old events with new eyes to let go of resistance to change.
On Thursday, March 2, Mercury and Saturn will form a conjunction at 29 degrees Aquarius, turning our minds to seriously consider issues surrounding self-discipline and mental blocks impeding progression. This energy, if kept unconscious, could arouse some anxiety or cause erratic behavior, so be mindful when interacting with others.
Amid this overall energy, Venus will conjunct Jupiter in Aries on Thursday, March 2. This highly romantic influence will be felt Monday through Saturday and ignites adrenaline-fueled passion, while also encouraging us to celebrate the pleasures of life and appreciate beauty on an individual level.
Amplifying this energy mid-week will be the moon in the sensitive sign of Cancer, which will have all of us feeling a bit more desire for creature comforts and self-preservation.
