On March 17th, the Sun and Neptune align in Pisces, marking a period of ambiguity and uncertainty. However, if we focus on the positive aspects of this conjunction, we can tap into our creativity and imagination, which will flourish. It's important to be mindful of our emotions and not let them overwhelm us. The First Quarter Moon in Gemini on March 17th brings the onset of eclipse season (the Lunar Eclipse occurs on March 25th and the Solar Eclipse commences on April 8th).

On March 18th, Mercury in Aries forms a conjunction with the North Node of Destiny, which is why it’s advisable to pay attention to the people who come into our lives at this time and the information we receive on this date. Mercury also enters its pre-retrograde shadow on this day, with the retrograde starting on April 1st and lasting until April 25th. Remember that the events that unfold now will impact us during the retrograde. On March 19th, we welcome the Astrological New Year, the Spring Equinox, Ostara, and the Sun’s ingress into Aries to occur simultaneously. Take time to honor yourself and nature on this special day filled with hopes and aspirations for the new season.

Witchtip:

When feeling stagnant this week, you can try a bath to help get things moving. To make the bath tincture, boil water, basil, and slices of lemon in a pot and then strain out the herbs. Once the water has cooled to room temperature, you can pour it over your shoulders in the shower or use it in the bath. These ingredients can help you feel more relaxed and help you get unstuck, especially during the Sun and Neptune conjunction on March 17.
