Weekly Horoscope: March 4 - 10

Mercury retrograde starts on Tuesday, March 5 at 1:19 PM, throwing a wrench into the delicate machinery of our brain space. During Mercury retrograde in Pisces, artistic and abstract thought processes are supported, but anything that requires painstaking attention to detail will need some extra time, and at least a second set of eyes. We started feeling the Mercury retrograde February 19, when the communication planet entered its pre-retrograde shadow. Yes, there is a post-retrograde shadow, too, which gives us space to clean up in the retrograde aftermath—it is from the last day of Mercury retrograde, March 28, until April 16.

Wednesday, March 6 is one of the biggest days of 2019: At 3:35 AM, Uranus enters Taurus for good! We had a sample of Uranus in Taurus last year, from May to November 2018. Technological innovations in art, fashion, and beauty are to be expected in the next seven years. Also on March 6, there is a new moon in Pisces at 11:04 AM. This new moon aligns with dreamy Neptune and the sun meets Neptune at 8:01 PM, distorting reality. Enjoy your imagination now.

The sun connects with Saturn early in the morning on Saturday, March 9, at 2:10 AM, encouraging you to connect with a mentor figure or experienced buddy who can help guide you on the path to manifesting your big, seemingly unrealistic new moon dreams. It’s time to dream big—with lucky Jupiter in ambitious Sagittarius, the bigger the dream, the better.

Mars gently connects with Neptune on Sunday, March 10 at 12:21 PM, which is also a potentially confusing energy. It is a gentle connection, so it can also be ignored if you choose. Tempers can be aggravated based on distorted perception, leading to pettiness. Alternately, this is an initiative to make something beautiful from your dreams—a creative impulse is present and should be followed.
