direct at 18:09 degrees of Aquarius today at 9:00 am EST. The shadow period though lasts until March 20. So, matters of communication, connectivity and mobility we’ve reviewed from a different angle can now be reformed, upgraded or changed altogether based on the processed input and feedback from which we can anticipate certain trends and take it from there. After the Moon’s ingress to Pisces at 9:52 am EST could we therefore feel more enlightened, while attuning ourselves to the flow of things. The Sun in Pisces’ trine to retrograde Jupiter in Cancer shows that revisiting beliefs, principles or convictions we’ve been holding onto has revealed where we’ve undone or outdone ourselves, or in other words, have reached or failed our highest ideals.

Tarot card of the day is the “Page of Swords”, a card that is also called “The Renewer” and is all about communication, information and ideas and indicates the ability to rise above emotional confusion. The Page or Princess of Swords represents commitment to a new way of life, because of the settling and cutting away of past inner conflicts, the regaining of mental clarity and a victory over emotional moods. Manifestation of our dreams can actually happen in the not so distant future as she delivers messages of change and news of official matters.

Ceres stationed retrograde at 1:53 degrees of Scorpio this morning at 3:09 am EST, and will trace back her steps to 18:32 Libra, where she will turn direct on June 1. This corresponds to a period, during which we review the maternal principle first in matters of shared values and interests and then reassess and reevaluate our growth together with the latest developments. A sextile between retrograde Pallas in Virgo and retrograde Ceres in Scorpio offers us a chance to go over strategies we have employed to find resolutions for our affairs if we get our stuff together and take advantage of the resources we can rely on for support.

Tarot card of the day is the “6 of Cups”, suggesting that past efforts are being rewarded and pleasant or nostalgic memories are resurfacing. It’s important to be keenly aware of the blessings in our lives and to take some time out to enjoy the good moments, for they are special.

the pressure of the last few days in regard to turning a corner, picking up the pace and making progress intensifies and propels us into action. We can no longer side-step opportunities for growth or expansion we need to take care of. It’s time to abandon counterproductive habits. After the Moon’s ingress to Aquarius at 9:55 am EST will we feel more excited and inspired and thus capable of rising to the occasion. The quincunx from Mars in Libra to Juno in Pisces shows an adjustment of activities and intentions in order to meet relationship expectations.

Tarot card of the day is the “Queen of Cups”, symbolizing a seeker of inner transformation who possesses a strong perspective and perceptive nature. Suggested is furthermore that we are acknowledging our emotions and feelings. We trust our intuition and listen to our inner voice as well as to the sensations and impressions we’re getting from our environment. In our interactions with others we need to empathize and show true compassion, helping people along their chosen pathway. This is a day when we’ll be following the lead of our heart.

first or we’ll be losing out. This means also not to hide our light under the bushel anymore, but to show our true colors, whereby it is important to remain aware of our attitude since this could go both ways. As the sextile between Chiron in Pisces and Pluto in Capricorn reaches perfection, chances are the bridges we’ve been building over these last few months provide us with a more sure footing now as a result from which we can gain influence together with a sense of inclusiveness or integration.

Tarot card of the day is “The Chariot”, suggesting that we take control and move forward with care. There is a need to remain focused and to keep the emotions in check. We need to harness our energy and apply it wisely. Self-discipline is important to be able to balance the light and shadow aspects of our personality.

back to the grindstone. A sextile from Venus in Capricorn to Saturn in Scorpio provides opportunities for the achievement of our ambitions and duty-related tasks, which if taken advantage of can help us to strengthen our position and to feel accomplished as a result. Especially with the Vesta-NN conjunction in Libra perfecting today, we’re dedicated to relationship causes where we need to reach agreements as well as determined to invest our energy to finally gain the amount of appreciation and validation we feel we deserve.

Tarot card of the day is the “2 of Cups”, suggesting that there is a mutual understanding between the people involved in a relationship and that interactions are balanced and harmonious, because of an awareness of the expectations each person has, which allows for growth and very special relationships. Our focus is on win-win situations as we show kindness and thoughtfulness.
