Cosmic Daily

The cosmos is beginning to move into one its notorious take-no-prisoners mood over the next few days. For example, Pluto is beginning to slow down as it approaches its first pause or station of the year on April 2. This adds an element of extremism into almost every sphere of human activity. In addition, with each passing day between now and early Sunday March 30, the Sun builds momentum toward an abrasive square with the red planet Mars. This is another factor that can make tempers flare, increase road rage, and explain why usually mild-mannered individuals are losing their cool more often.

In the meantime, if you negotiate past this morning's Pallas-Neptune 45-degree fracas (3:03AM EST) and a Mars-Neptune 135-degree joust (5:51AM EST), you will eventually reach the promised land of the Moon shifting out of a void zone in Scorpio and entering fiery, upbeat and enthusiastic Sagittarius (11:22AM EST). The lunar change from intensive Scorpio to adaptable Sagittarius every month is probably the most noticeable of all and you can now breathe a sigh of relief. Fun, games, sports and social activities are back in style.

This is magnified by a mentally-stimulating and nurturing Venus-Ceres 72-degree tie from Pisces to Taurus (1:55AM EDT). Watch your step around the time of a 90-degree clash between Mars in Cancer and Pallas in Aries (6:58PM EST). Tensions and poor decision-making can arise just before, during and after this alignment. Later on, the evening hours look fantastic as the Sun and Moon form a harmonious trine in fire signs (12:05AM EST). Let the good times roll and know that tomorrow may provide another extravaganza of illumination and success as Mercury contacts Vesta (investments), Jupiter (opportunity knocking), and Uranus (breakthroughs) within a 9-hour time-span.
