The Transit of Saturn, by Marc Robertson. American Federation of Astrologers (www.astrologers.com). 153 pages, paper, $23.95; ebook, $5.99. It’s just a guess, but I think it’s safe to say that people outside of astrology are likely to know at least three things about it: Sun signs (their own of course), Mercury retrograde, and the Saturn return that takes us all from our happy yet haphazard youth to our less happy but more responsible adulthood. In fact, they might even have a sense of the position of Saturn itself in astrology, as the planet that tells us (think Pink Floyd here) that, “if you don’t eat your meat you can’t have any pudding!” There are probably more books in astrology’s vast library on Saturn than all of the other planets, though…

One more thing about the August 21 total solar eclipse, which I remarked on last month, but this comment regards a prediction (or at least a suggestion) that could turn out to be either a hit or a miss. In the August article about that eclipse (“Dark Fire in a Bright Sky”), the author noted something that many astrologers had been commenting on from the time Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election. The eclipse was already on everyone’s radar when Trump floated into view, so it was natural to compare the two. Doing so heated up the astrological airwaves (or perhaps the astrological Facebook waves would be more correct) as everyone noticed that the eclipse point (that is, the positions of the Sun and Moon as the eclipse reached…

This year you have a really nice combination of the right planets in the right places, and this can have you feeling more in control of your life than you have felt in quite some time. Three of the outer planets — Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto — are in just the right relationship to each other to synchronize their direct and retrograde periods. This can be advantageous, as we’ll explain in the sections for those planets below, but you have to take an active role in mapping and carrying out a specific plan of action. The areas of your life most affected include education, career and public image, and leadership, but to get the best of this you need to involve yourself actively. Uranus is one problem area to keep…

YOUR MARCH GUIDE 1st-8th: Fitting in. Focus on looking and feeling your absolute best, Aries. With the Full Moon shining its light in your solar 6th on the 1st, pursue the goal of fitting into those spring outfits that you have not worn recently. Eat well and exercise daily so when Mercury and Venus join Uranus in your sign on the 6th, everyone will notice how attractive you look. 9th-16th: R-e-s-p-e-c-t. Mercury, Venus, and Uranus in your sign will boost your confidence, helping you to present your ideas forcefully yet diplomatically. Your charm and confidence will allow you to win the respect of people who can help you move forward professionally. Strike while the iron is hot since this may lead to a future promotion or salary increase. 17th-23rd: Teamwork…

YOUR MARCH GUIDE 1st-8th: Exotic destinations. Daydreaming about exotic destinations may distract you this week, Cancer. With the Sun conjoining Neptune in your solar 9th on the 4th, your desire to learn about foreign cultures may encourage you to travel abroad this summer. This may include visiting art museums or taking a cruise. Do your research, plan ahead, and make it happen. 9th-16th: Innovative strides. Before you become immersed in planning that dream vacation, you can make great strides where your career is concerned. On the 11th, Mars in your solar 6th forms a trine to Uranus in your solar 10th allowing you to complete an innovative presentation that will greatly impress everyone with whom and for whom you work. 17th-23rd: Clear communication. The New Moon in your solar 9th…

YOUR MARCH GUIDE 1st-8th: Creative challenge. Formulating a creative plan at work will impress those who matter, Libra. With a confluence of planets in your solar 6th, challenge yourself by working on a team where you can think clearly and contribute your own innovative perspective. You may put in extra hours, but you will be noticed and ultimately rewarded. 9th-16th: Downtime. If you’ve completed the project that took up your time last week, reserve a date night with your significant other. Venus and Mercury are now positioned in your solar 7th, so your time away from the office will be as valuable this week as your career was last week. If you are single, invite some close friends to join you for a night out in a fine restaurant. 17th-23rd:…

YOUR MARCH GUIDE 1st-8th: Harmony at home. Try to arrange time for a family gathering this week, Sagittarius. On the 4th, the Sun and Neptune form a conjunction in your home sector (solar 4th), which means that if this get-together is harmonious it will set the stage for more to come. In the past, there may have been disagreements, but your optimism and idealism should shine through. 9th-16th: Family first. Continue to find ways to bring your family together, and to organize different activities that you can all do together. With spring approaching, think about taking a day trip to the beach, mountains, or a park. You could all get tickets to a sporting event or concert. Either way, try to live up to the adage that a “family who…

YOUR MARCH GUIDE 1st-8th: Money talks. This might be a good month for financial growth, Aquarius. The Full Moon in your solar 8th on the 1st begins the month with good returns on an investment that you have watched grow and mature. With Mercury conjoining Venus in your solar 2nd on the 4th, you might see a salary increase. Think about a long-term investment for those extra bucks. 9th-16th: Opportunity knocks. The Sun in your solar 2nd forms a trine to Jupiter in your solar 10th on the 13th, so a career opportunity might turn up without even looking for it. Due to Jupiter’s retrograde motion, it may not be as fortuitous as it first seems, but stick to it, as once Jupiter moves direct on July 10 you will…

Spring is always a time to start over. As the weather warms up and the winds of March soften, everything about the way we look at both the world and our lives seems to warm up as well. For that reason alone, this is a good time of year to examine the astrological picture that greets us as spring in the Northern Hemisphere returns to us once more. That is exactly what Elizabeth Summers does for us on page 32 in “Good Vibes and Good News.” On a more serious note, on page 38 Lynn Paulus reminds us of the grim times that Southern states and Caribbean islands suffered during the last hurricane season. Given the fact that some climate scientists are saying that these “monster storms” are the future…

According to the principles of numerology, the year 2018 reduces to 2 (2+0+1+8=11=2), a number that lends itself to reflecting on the goals that you have set for yourself, and how you want to go about making them happen. Even if you have been wildly successful, life is about opening yourself up to new challenges in moving in new directions. Surround yourself with people who believe in you so that you can manifest your hopes and dreams. We add the number for the current year to the month number (January is 1, December is 1+2=3) to your own birthday number (1st=1, 31st=3+1=4) to calculate your vibration for the month. FOR THOSE BORN ON THE 1st, 10th, 19th, and 28th of any month Venus-6 vibrations ensure that you can reserve a…

Moving planets in the sky in March present us with dynamic and ever-changing patterns that can bring opportunities for progress, times of frustration, and moments of inspiration. This column describes your Sun sign’s relationship to these patterns, providing helpful insights to guide you through the changing scene. ARIES ✶LOVE: First Week. The winds of March bring disillusionment and quiet revelations. You’ll speak your mind on the 6th when Mercury enters Aries. Second Week. Venus in Aries squares Saturn in Capricorn on the 13th, bringing obstacles and heartache. Third Week. Mercury conjoins Venus in Aries on the 19th, placing you front and center. No one gets a word in edgewise. Fourth Week. Mercury turns retrograde in Aries on the 22nd, making you wish you hadn’t said so much last week. ✶MONEY: Jupiter…

Spring is a time of hope in the Northern Hemisphere. The cold months of winter are over. Buds start to bloom on flowers and trees, the air turns warmer, and the sky stays lighter longer. On the day the Spring Equinox occurs, the hours of sunlight and daylight are approximately the same, but as spring continues and then gives way into summer, the hours of sunlight will increase, giving people more hours of the day to enjoy the sunlight. North of the equator, the first moment of spring is also the moment that the Sun moves into Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, and this year that special moment occurs on March 20 at 11:15 a.m. EST. 0 Aries is of course a point in the zodiac that has…

On these two pages you will find the basic planting rules for the month of March, derived from ancient traditions. Even if you’ve never planted by the Moon, these rules are easy to apply. All it takes to raise a good “crop” (or tend to your house plants) is to have a little knowledge of lunar lore, and to give your plants the care they deserve! 26th from 11:41 p.m. through 1st to 12:57 a.m. First Quarter, Leo. Do routine work. 1st from 12:57 a.m. through 1st to 7:51 p.m. First Quarter, Virgo. Plant annuals for beauty. 1st from 7:51 p.m. through 3rd to 3:20 a.m. Full Moon, Virgo. Plant perennials for beauty. 3rd from 3:20 a.m. through 5th to 8:23 a.m. Full Moon, Libra. Fair for harvesting hay, etc.;…

As spring arrives, a young man’s fancy may turn to thoughts of love, or of baseball, or perhaps even of the NBA playoffs, but an astrologer’s fancy turns to thoughts of expanding out into the world as it returns to life on all sides (at least in the temperate zones). And once we talk about expanding (he said, seeking a mellifluous introduction), we know we’re talking about Jupiter. Jupiter still finds himself in Scorpio, a sign with which he might at first seem to be quite dissimilar. After all, Jupiter rules Sagittarius, the sign adjacent to Scorpio, and adjacent signs seem to have little in common (something we could also say for signs that quincunx each other, and not surprisingly, as in both cases the sign relationship has to do…

YOUR MARCH GUIDE 1st-8th: Time management. Relax and hang out with your closest friends this week, Taurus. With the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Neptune in your solar 11th, look forward to catching up with old friends with whom you have so much in common. Brush up on your time-management skills, as if your work is done at the end of the day you can switch gears and have fun. 9th-16th: Finding your passion. With Jupiter (which just turned retrograde) parked in your solar 7th through November, your partner will continue to give you unconditional love and support, even as you contemplate changes in your life. This could be a career move, or it could be a leave of absence from work to focus on discovering where your true passion lies.…

YOUR MARCH GUIDE 1st-8th: New learning. Educational opportunities may come your way this week even if you do not go looking for them, Leo. With Mercury and Venus entering your solar 9th on the 6th, you can meet people who introduce you to subjects you have always been curious about. These discussions may actually spur you into taking a seminar or workshop. 9th-16th: Creative inspiration. Continue to pursue new learning, and seek out people whose creative ideas inspire you. With Mars in your solar 5th forming a trine to Uranus in your solar 9th, on the 11th, consider challenging yourself by training for a sports competition of some kind. The change of pace will be good for you. 17th-23rd: Side business. The New Moon’s position in your solar 8th on…

YOUR MARCH GUIDE 1st-8th: Physically active. Spring is in the air, so make room in your daily schedule for physical activity, Scorpio. On the 4th, Mercury conjoins Venus in your enjoyment sector (solar 5th), so the time is right to add a new sport to your life. Bicycling, tennis, hiking are all options, but anything that keeps you active and will hold your attention is worth exploring. 9th-16th: Social outing. With the Sun in your solar 5th forming a sextile to Pluto in your solar 3rd on the 11th you can transform the physical activity that you began last week into a social outing. Participating with your significant other or close friend will give you the incentive to make it a part of your daily schedule. You will feel better…

YOUR MARCH GUIDE 1st-8th: Ancestry search. Discovering your ancestral roots and constructing your family tree may consume your spare time now, Capricorn. Mercury and Venus enter your solar 4th on the 6th so you are certain to be in touch with relatives you have not seen in quite a while. Even if they do not have any family secrets to tell, it will be great to see them after all this time. 9th-16th: Memorable collections. Since formulating a definitive family tree is a lifetime project, you should collect photographs, anecdotes, and other memorabilia. In addition to going on trips to see family members, you will get closer to relatives you may hardly know. That will be at least one of the many benefits of your new direction. 17th-23rd: New challenges.…

YOUR MARCH GUIDE 1st-8th: Influence and confidence. The spotlight will shine on you all week, Pisces. With the Sun, Neptune, Mercury and Venus gathered in your sign, your usual reserve will transform into self-confidence, so don’t be afraid to take on a leadership role. People with whom you work may not recognize the “new” you, so take advantage of your ability to influence others. 9th-16th: Seeds of success. You will continue to pat yourself on the back for a job well-done at the workplace. Mars in your solar 10th forms a trine to Uranus in your solar 2nd, on the 11th, so you may even muster the courage to ask for a promotion, which could include a salary increase. This may be a job that will begin later in the…

The first thought that you have when you wake up in the morning is usually weather-related. Whether you look out of the window, or turn on the radio or the television, you need to know what the weather is going to be like before you plan the day. If the forecast says rain, you might search for an umbrella. A weather forecast of a cold front will send you out of the front door with a coat in your hand. An old saying about the weather is, “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it!” The quote itself, by the way, has been attributed to many authors (most often to Mark Twain), but the latest research seems to indicate that the only sure author of those words…

Two Full Moons make this month a special one. When this rather rare phenomenon occurs, the second Full Moon is referred to as a “Blue Moon.” A month with two Full Moons gives you the energy to begin a project and see it through to completion, all within the month. March begins with a Full Moon in Virgo on the 1st, emphasizing work, health, efficiency, and deadlines. The second Full Moon occurs on the 31st in Libra. Relationships and the other people in your life are sure to be important. To understand on what level of your life the Full Moon will probably affect you, check the astrological element in which it occurs. The March 1st Full Moon in Earth-sign Virgo is experienced mainly on a material level. As the…

YOUR MARCH GUIDE 1st-8th: Family get-together. It’s time to get back in touch with long-lost relatives, Gemini. With the Full Moon lighting up your solar 4th on the 1st, take the first step in contacting family members whom you hardly ever get to see, or with whom you simply lost touch. Those closest to you will encourage you to do this since they want to meet your family as well. 9th-16th: A lasting impression. With the Sun in your solar 10th forming a trine to Jupiter in your solar 6th on the 13th, your positive attitude will make a lasting impression at the workplace. If you encourage your colleagues to adopt your optimism, there is no telling how far you can advance. It may take a while, but you will…

YOUR MARCH GUIDE 1st-8th: A face in the crowd. Romance is taking center stage this week, Virgo. With a confluence of planets in your solar 7th, you and your significant other should be able to put time aside for an evening filled with love and passion. If you do not have a partner, attend events that are geared towards “singles” as you may find a face in the crowd that turns out to be your soul mate. 9th-16th: Changing your situation. Mars in your solar 4th forms a trine to Uranus in your solar 8th on the 11th so there may be a real estate deal or major move on the horizon. It is important to change your living situation now, even if it just involves investing in renovations or…
