Weekly Summary: MARCH 29 - APRIL 4

I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream"

The current lunar cycle culminates this week with a Libra Full Moon (7:11 PM PDT 12° Libra/Aries) on Wednesday. This Full Moon follows up on the initiatives of the Spring Equinox which has brought forward a dizzying sense of individual empowerment. The Sun's 'empowerment' has emerged from the challenges of last week's Sun-Saturn conjunction while still carrying the deep, resonant, 'pulse' of the slowly waning Saturn-Pluto sextile. Hopefully, we have gathered some considered wisdom and discipline through the Sun's interaction with Saturn and Pluto as we head into the waning phase of the lunar cycle. At the Full Moon, both the Sun and Moon are approaching a square to Jupiter. Those squares can help to support further individual empowerment but also may make it easy to lose patience or focus and miss important opportunities through a lack of self-discipline. Mercury, now direct but still in the shadow of the last retrograde phase, is approaching a trine to Jupiter which will complete shortly after the Full Moon. With the exalted Jupiter in Cancer in such a potent and powerful position, there are certainly opportunities for Grand Scale advancements this week. Nonetheless, the luck in this atmosphere can also be debilitating, allowing us to believe that all we need to do is 'let the good times roll'. Mercury's return to make a third trine to Jupiter, with both planets now direct, encourages us to draw broad conclusions from the period of reflection and review that was offered while Mercury was retrograde (February 26 - March 20). The Mercury-Jupiter trine offers confidence and encouragement that seems to confirm what we think we know — that is, what we have discovered, uncovered, and recognized while Mercury was retrograde. Nonetheless, there is still more to be learned and understood — most importantly through recognizing the perspectives of others. Mercury's message from Pisces has encouraged us to recognize our interconnectedness. Saturn's sextile to Pluto — which was exact last week but continues to produce a deep, resonate 'pulse' of insight — is encouraging us to recognize our individual power. However, in the context of this week's Full Moon, the important message is to open up to the perspectives of others in order to build a bridge of understanding and connection. It may be quite easy to lose track of that message under the Full Moon squaring Jupiter — we may believe we know more than we actually do. Adding to our confidence and reliance on simply establishing a sense of personal comfort with our individual position, Venus moves into Taurus on Monday of this week. The arrival of Venus in Taurus is remarkably calming, despite the deep, pulsing undercurrent of dramatic, empowering shifts that are coming into our awareness. Venus will square Pluto by the end of the week, while Saturn is still engaged with Pluto. The strong determination produced by the Venus-Pluto square, in this environment, may tend to obscure the need for authenticity, honesty, and cooperation. The inclination is to try to hold on to our own position without listening to the input of others or fully trusting what we're hearing. Nonetheless, there are extremely important opportunities to build bridges of understanding. Ignoring these opportunities — either due to a lack of trust or extreme arrogance — is likely to leave us feeling disconnected and baffled at how fast our luck seems to have dissipated.

We find an intuitive ability on Sunday to help us to make new connections with others and express our unique, individual perspective. There is incredible mental ability offered, providing a remarkable ability to follow through on whatever insights we have found. Although intuition seems to be the guiding force on Monday, the undercurrents are tremendously practical. We are offered the prospect of building a bridge of understanding and connection with others. The tests and challenges that we find on Tuesday are likely to require some kind of compromise or at least some extra consideration. Too much pride may have us believing that we don't need to recognize anything other than our own view — which is a dangerous approach. There is considerable luck offered on Wednesday but it may run short if we aren't willing to follow up on our good fortune by recognizing the 'connectedness of all things'. Inertia, pessimism, and despair are all fed by a lack of recognition that we do, indeed, have a true connection to the world around us. We face extraordinary challenges on Thursday trying to integrate new perspectives. We aren't likely to have as much information as we need — or as much relevant information as we believe we have. There are extremely important opportunities to build bridges of understanding on Friday. Nonetheless, the strong determination in the environment may tend to obscure the need for authenticity, honesty, and cooperation. We may try desperately to draw broad conclusions on Saturday, based on this week's important revelations and insights. However, we continue to face challenges and a lack of trust when trying to establish a cohesive, collaborative, connection to others.

Sunday March 29, 2026

The power of the Saturn-Pluto sextile continues to pulse in the background of today's activity. The Moon's square to Uranus and trine to Venus encourages an intuitive ability to make new connections with others and express our unique, individual perspective. There are important revelations coming through today's intense energy. The Moon is briefly VOC from 10:27 AM PDT until 12:33 PM this afternoon. Once in Virgo, the Moon aims towards a YOD configuration involving both Saturn and Neptune, as well as Pluto. There is incredible mental ability offered here, providing a remarkable ability to follow through on whatever insights we have gleaned from the 'rumblings' that are coming out of the Saturn-Pluto sextile.

Monday March 30, 2026

The arrival of Venus in Taurus is remarkably calming, despite the deep, pulsing undercurrent of dramatic, empowering shifts that are coming into our awareness. The Moon's opposition to Mercury (11:43 AM PDT) produces a burst of intuitive insight that may be difficult to fully trust. However, Venus offers a surprising surge of courage to say what it is that we're feeling. Although intuition seems to be the guiding force today, the undercurrents are tremendously practical. Venus will square Pluto by this Friday, further intensifying the message that Saturn and Pluto are laying out in front of us. Today begins to offer us the prospect of building a bridge of understanding and connection, slowly developing as we reach the culmination of the current lunar cycle at the Libra Full Moon (7:11 PM PDT 12° Libra/Aries) on Wednesday.

Tuesday March 31, 2026

The Moon heads towards a trine to Uranus today that will complete at 5:31 PM PDT. The sharp intellectual acuity and sense of freedom in today's environment has the potential to get us in a bit over our heads if we aren't paying close attention. There is a distinct element of ambition that may easily lead us towards arrogance. The need to maintain our humility and remain open to listening to the perspectives of others may be overlooked here. The tests and challenges that we find today are likely to require some kind of compromise or at least some extra consideration. Too much pride may have us believing that we don't need to recognize anything other than our own view — which is a dangerous approach in this environment. Tomorrow's Libra Full Moon (7:11 PM PDT 12° Libra/Aries) offers important opportunities to extend a bridge of understanding but only if we stay open to an expanded perspective.

Wednesday April 01, 2026

Today's breakthroughs, arriving ahead of this evening's Libra Full Moon (7:11 PM PDT 12° Libra/Aries) produce some potentially uncomfortable surprises. The Moon trines Pluto (5:40 AM PDT) and opposes Saturn ((6:25 AM PDT) early this morning suggesting significant shifts in the landscape that require a great deal of awareness. For some, this may feel like a destiny force over which we feel a fatalistic lack of control. Nonetheless, cooperative effort is powerful under today's Full Moon, offering important opportunities to understand where others are actually coming from. Inertia, pessimism, and despair are all fed by a lack of recognition that we do, indeed, have a true connection to the world around us. It is especially important, in today's atmosphere, to rekindle that sense of connection — if we're 'just not feeling it' in this atmosphere. There is considerable luck offered here but it may run short if we aren't willing to follow up on our good fortune by recognizing the 'connectedness of all things'.

Thursday April 02, 2026

The Moon is VOC nearly all day today, following a square to Jupiter early this morning (1:54 AM PDT). We face extraordinary challenges trying to integrate the new perspectives that have been revealed over the past few days. We may feel that it is important to draw conclusions and make judgements today, hoping to stabilize our position and most importantly, determine our 'next steps'. However, we aren't likely to have as much information as we need — or as much relevant information as we believe we have. Mercury is forming a trine to Jupiter (with both planets now direct) that will complete early tomorrow morning, offering confidence and encouragement that seems to confirm what we think we know. Nonetheless, there is more to be uncovered. Tomorrow afternoon's Fixed T-Square involving the Moon, Venus, and Pluto suggests some distinct challenges to any reliance on the information that we have in front of us today.

Friday April 03, 2026

The Moon arrives in Scorpio early (5:10 AM PDT) and engages with today's Venus-Pluto square in a powerful but challenging way. The strong determination in this environment may tend to obscure the need for authenticity, honesty, and cooperation. There are extremely important opportunities to build bridges of understanding today. In the midst of today's T-Square, the Moon also makes a quincunx to Saturn, suggesting that we may struggle to trust anyone. Despite today's challenges, there are extremely significant opportunities to make lasting connections to others that will lay a foundation for future progress. Ignoring the opportunities that are offered today — either due to a lack of trust or extreme arrogance — will represent a tragic, missed opportunity.

Saturday April 04, 2026

The Moon forms a 'loose' Grand Water Trine with Jupiter and Mercury today before heading into an overnight trine to Mars tomorrow morning. We may try desperately to draw broad conclusions today, based on this week's important revelations and insights. However, we continue to face challenges to establishing a cohesive, collaborative, connection to others. Dead-ends and tempting side roads may seem to leave us at least somewhat confused or impatient. Perhaps the biggest challenge in this atmosphere is a feeling that we need to convince others of something or verify all aspects of someone else's perspective in order to establish the 'bridge of understanding' that we have been offered by the Saturn-Pluto sextile. If we are able to focus on the inherent 'connectedness of all things', along with the compassion offered by today's Water trines, we will find extraordinary new routes to establish the cooperation that we are desperately seeking today.
