Daily Astrological Currents Archives

This page is offered as away to look back at the Daily Astrological Currents Archives for a particular day going back to December of 2013.

Sunday March 16, 2025

The Moon goes VOC in Libra early this morning (2:52 AM PDT) following a square to Mars. We are likely to be looking for some kind of 'new beginning' today but the waning Mars-Vesta trine produces themes of self-righteousness that is more likely to leave us wallowing in indecisive discontent instead of seeking an inspired, definitive course of action. Nonetheless, there are seeds of 'rebirth' in today's atmosphere despite the unfamiliarity of today's landscape. The challenge is developing connection and cooperation. Although we cannot see it today, there is a new beginning 'just around the corner'.


Weekly Summary

MARCH 16 - MARCH 22

"Kiss today goodbye
And point me toward tomorrow"

The Sun arrives in Aries this week but not before making an overwhelmingly intense, disorienting conjunction with Neptune which is at the very end of Pisces. The energy of this Spring Equinox is actually likely to feel strikingly unfamiliar, with more focus on endings, rather than any clear view of Spring Initiatives. The confidence and pioneering initiative of the Sun's ingress into Aries is weighed down by the intensely confusing conjunction with Neptune. With both Venus and Mercury now retrograde in Aries, ruled by Mars, still struggling to pick up speed in watery Cancer, we struggle mightily to express the bold, direct energy of Aries. But unfocused impatience is all that seems to emerge. We may try to seek refuge in some kind of 'orderly process' but order also remains elusive. This week's waning Moon offers few obvious clues that can help us identify how to make use of this new Spring growing power. Last week's eclipse energy has us continuing to process endings. There is simply not enough determination available this week to definitively establish any clear sense of continuity that might point us towards a 'fresh start'. Nonetheless, it is certain that our perspectives are changing. As our 'rose colored glasses' come off under the retrograding Venus, the change in our perspective is becoming more and more obvious. The undercurrents of impatience are present all week. The expression of our new perspectives may only seem to come through in unexpected, indirect ways, such as through humor or hard-edged logic. The need for more productive interaction is clear but we struggle to form the right message. The Sun-Venus inferior conjunction at the end of the week actually undercuts any effort to effectively connect with others by increasing our sensitivity. Our focus becomes more scattered. Perhaps the most important key to this week's challenges is to stay focused on 'the long game' and avoid becoming overly concerned over short-term losses — or overly elated over short-term gains. As Mars nears the third trine to Saturn and third square to Chiron, there are definitely opportunities beginning to develop that will help us to lay the groundwork for next Saturday's Aries New Moon Eclipse (March 29th, 3:57 AM PDT 9° Aries) when the clear expression of our developing new perspectives will slowly gain a firmer footing. Hot on the heels of the New Moon, the retrograding Mercury will conjunct Neptune in Pisces, less than 10 hours before Neptune's first ingress into Aries in more than 160 years. The power and strength of Neptune's involvement here points to the power of faith. Although the confusion may remain, the prospect of a new beginning becomes increasingly apparent — and potentially deeply inspiring. Some of the seeds of that new beginning have already been planted and more are being planted this week, whether or not we are aware of exactly how or where.

Self-righteousness can keep us wallowing in indecisive discontent on Sunday. Despite the unfamiliarity in the atmosphere, there are seeds of new beginning being planted. A principled stand is demanded on Monday. We're likely to feel that we need to 'come out swinging'. Deep emotions are stirred on Tuesday. Earlier initiatives must be reexamined within an emotional and security context and all perspectives must be respected. Undercurrents of impatience only seem to encourage a desire to seek refuge in some kind of 'orderly process' on Wednesday. However, order is difficult to find or establish. The Spring Equinox on Thursday may feel like an alarm going off — but we're prone to looking for the 'snooze button'. We struggle to understand how to speak up effectively. The expression of a developing new perspective comes out in surprising ways on Friday. However, establishing continuity continues to be elusive. Perseverance pays off on Saturday even though conveying an effective message is still challenging. Sensitivity scatters our focus.
