Your Weekly Overview March 16th – March 22nd, 2020

Is an apology warranted? What are you waiting for? Extend that olive branch—or let the “offending party” know that your feathers have been ruffled. This Monday, March 16, expressive Mercury returns to Pisces, the sign of forgiveness and healing. This is the winged messenger’s second dive into the Fish’s tank in 2020. On February 3, Mercury plunged into Pisces, but due to a retrograde from February 16 to March 9, it backed up into Aquarius which caused everyone to disconnect and keep their distance. If you can’t shake that nagging, unresolved feeling, now’s your (second) chance to do something about it. Between now and April 10, get a heart-to-heart on the calendar, making sure to pick a time when everyone can relax and speak freely.

This Thursday, March 19 marks both the spring equinox AND the astrological New Year as the solar calendar flips over and begins anew with Aries Season. Need an excuse to chill champagne—or maybe switch over to a virgin kombucha mocktail? Game on! We won’t argue that a fully loaded pizza goes perfectly with a binge…with the possible exception of a Guinevere Beck moment. But between now and April 19, you can slowly and gently “un-Hygge” yourself. Replace needlework crafts with garden tools and IPA flights with aerial yoga or breezy walks around your ‘hood. Under this solar spell we’ll all feel a sense of renewal. And soon enough, we’ll be fired up with the Ram’s daring initiative, eager to embrace the next adventure. Live-out-loud Aries season is a time to grab life by the horns and push the envelope on maximalism. Since Aries is Number One in the zodiac, the competitive vibes will be fierce for the next four weeks. Are you living on your edge? Go for the gold…and if you happen to crush a few narcissists with your fairly-won victory, don’t feel bad—it’s a personal growth experience for them.

Friday, March 20 is a big deal day, as make-it-happen Mars teams up with make-it-bigger Jupiter in Capricorn. Even if motivation’s been lagging, you could suddenly feel like you downed a multipack of 5 Hour Energy drinks. These two accelerators connect once every two years, but they haven’t teamed up in Capricorn since 1984. For the record, that was a year where ambitions soared so high that people started wearing PARACHUTE pants! (Note to fashion folks reading this, we’d be grateful if you DON’T bring those back…) In 2020, the Mars-Jupiter meetup may be more revelatory, because this Friday, both planets will arrive at 22 degrees Capricorn, the very same point on the zodiac wheel where nefarious Pluto and take-no-prisoners Saturn conjoined this past January 12. (For the first time since 1518 AD in this case!) You can read more on the Saturn-Pluto conjunction here https://astrostyle.com/the-saturn-pluto-conjunction-busts-the-status-quo/ which, in many ways, brought us more questions than answers—and could be the cosmic culprit between the “black swan” events of Q1 2020 https://astrostyle.com/astrology-and-the-coronavirus/. As brash, uncouth Mars and Jupiter pass over that same point in the sky, we may learn A LOT more than we bargained for about everything that’s been buried below the surface. This information won’t likely be pretty, but get ready to face it—and figure out how to deal—nevertheless.

Gather the thought leaders and call a global summit! From March 21 to July 1, Saturn lifts its nose from Capricorn’s grindstone and takes a Hoverboard ride through Aquarius, the sign that rules progress, technology and collective action. The galactic guru hasn’t stationed in the Water Bearer’s realm for nearly three decades; in fact, its last visit was from February 6, 1991, to January 28, 1994. Humanitarian Aquarius rules the future while sensible Saturn is the master planner. The world could use a large dose of the innovative strategizing this cosmic cycle brings. Can the citizens of Earth join together to architect a smarter future? Now is the time!

Saturn’s tour through Aquarius from March 21 to July 1 is a preview of a longer cycle. On December 17, the structured planet settles back into Aquarius until March 7, 2023, opening up a two-year window for progress. Aquarius is the mad scientist of the zodiac, a sign that pulls off the paradoxical feat of being rational and idealistic at once. (Picture Aquarius Thomas Edison if you need a visual.) And while the process-driven planet’s style may seem at odds with the laid-back Water Bearer, Saturn was actually Aquarius’ ancient ruler, before Uranus was discovered by a hand-made telescope in 1781. The ringed taskmaster feels at quite at home in Aquarius, and that means nothing is impossible in 2020! After all, rainbows can be measured along the ROYGBIV spectrum and unicorns could truly exist using VR technology.

Saturn is also the planet of restriction. Like a stern parent, Saturn takes things away temporarily to force us to appreciate what we have. The ringed planet’s move into communal, technological Aquarius is already throwing down its next challenge, quarantining entire cities as the coronavirus spreads—and forcing people to connect virtually. While no one would ever wish for this black swan event, through the tragedy, we may regain an appreciation for good old-fashioned human connection. Legit face time becomes a lot more valuable when the FaceTime app threatens to be our only option for interactivity. As Saturn snaps us out of the collective tech trance, we may embrace screen-free get-togethers in a wholly new way. Who wants to host a salon?
