“With seven relatively powerful transits in the mix, it may be quite difficult to tease out what specifically is influencing our feelings and our experience. How can we explicitly assert, with no uncertainty, that one transit is informing a specific aspect of our lives over another? I don’t think we can with any objective reliability.
Rather than seeing this as an obstruction to clear and useful astrological interpretations, what if we leaned into the only real thing we have in relation to what’s happening in our lives: our subjective experience of it?”

Weekly Weather Report:
March 14–20, 2023
This is a big week of action and change.
Saturn & Pluto joined at 22° Capricorn on January 12, 2020 ushering in a new, long, dark cycle. That these two heavyweights both change signs this month is one of those uncanny things we frequently encounter in astrology as we watch the interaction of cycles. I believe Jung named such things synchronicity.
We’re passing through something that requires enormous adaptation so get into it. Don’t let fear take you over, you were born for these times.
On Tuesday the Sag Moon opposes Mars in Gemini at 25°, creating emotional waves that can best be engaged with by something physical and fun.
Wednesday hosts the annual Sun Neptune conjunction in Pisces at 25°, (square to Mars) which is the peak mystical, escapist conjunction, where we all don rose-colored lenses that blur the edges of the reality we are contemplating. This is a day where folks are likely to be very sensitive to just about everything.
ALSO Venus gets to 29° Aries which means it makes a clashing & clanging square to Pluto at the very last degree of Cap, which is climactic for all our relationships. This makes us glad for the wash of Neptune over the Sun today.
On Thursday Venus enters Taurus which deserves a big cheer. She loves to be in her own sign and we reap the benefits of a happy benefic, wherever Taurus is in your chart. Venus in Taurus helps us regroup and prioritize self-care as a way of self-love which is the root of all other love in our lives.
On Saturday Mercury crosses into Aries meaning everyone is about to get a whole lot mouthier for the next few weeks.
On Monday we reach the Equinox! Spring in the north, Autumn in the south… either way we have day & night meeting briefly as equals before one side gains the upper hand. This is the day that the Sun crosses the Aries Point and we begin the zodiacal journey once again. This is no ordinary equinox as it is the gateway opening now for Pluto’s first epochal shift into Aquarius in 247 years. Take a deep breath and buckle your seatbelt as we enter the Cardinal fire of Aries, the ignition of life.

TMA Tuesday Transit Report:
March 7–13, 2023
This week, we roll out the red carpet for Saturn entering Pisces, under the glamour of the Full Moon at 16° Virgo on Tuesday at 4:40 a.m. PT. This represents a massive sea change.
Saturn in Pisces is both a dissolving of the calcified edifices of authority, and an opportunity to fortify your castles in the air. The tyrannical monster looming in the doorway begins to lose steam, unable to deliver smashing blows with the hammer of the gods quite as effectively as it intends. The dots become less easy to connect, so far as power goes.
Additionally, this transit can mean that things we have taken for granted or counted on as indelible (such as trade partners, borders, currencies, and the health care system) will begin to erode and show signs of fray. Pisces is the last sign on the wheel, so here, we must break it all down to be ready for Saturn in Aries in 2026. This is the part of the Wizard of Oz when Toto pulls back the curtain and exposes the great and mighty wizard to actually be a tiny and somewhat terrified man, posturing immensely to be something he is not.
Pluto remains at 29° of Saturn’s nighttime sign of Capricorn, meaning he will wake up Wednesday getting different guidance, once Saturn enters Jupiter’s nighttime sign of Pisces. There is a softening, here at the edge of the known universe, where subtlety and nuance are incredibly important. Get very still and quiet and sit in meditation to see what messages of guidance or illumination want to push into your consciousness.
Friday features some good old-fashioned red-flag astrology, as the late Libra Moon opposite Venus in Aries t-squares Pluto at 29° Capricorn, taking us into deep shadow territory.
This month is akin to everyone in the world being given strong psychedelics, so things are definitely extra weird and larger than life.
