Astrological Events Occurring This Week: March 18-24, 2019

There are three important astrological events occurring this week: Mercury retrograde in Pisces; full Moon in Libra; Sun enters Aries. Let’s take a look at each of these events and what they mean…

Full Moon in Libra

Dates: March 20

The full moon in March will be a full worm super moon that rises on March 20, sharing the kickoff date of the spring equinox. It has been 19 years since this has occurred on the same date. It is considered the last full moon of winter.

Horoscope-wise, the full moon, in general, puts the focus on finding the balance between taking care of ourselves and others. The full moon in Libra has an effect on how we relate to the outside world, whether in relationships or partnerships. The effect brings our focus more on “we” than on “me.”

ut it also puts our focus on how others make us feel. It can be a good time to identify the people that are doing more harm than good in our lives, and may be a good time to move away from such people and find newer, more beneficial relationships.

Fun fact: It is called the “worm moon” as it coincides with the time that earthworms emerge. Besides being called a worm moon, it also goes by the name of Lenten Moon, Crow Moon, Crust Moon, Chaste Moon, Sugar Moon, and Sap Moon.

Sun enters Aries

Dates: March 20

The sun will enter the zodiac sign of Aries on March 20, the first sun sign of the zodiac, which coincides with the spring equinox and the full moon in Libra.

A powerful combination of three simultaneous forces will be at work in 2019 for Aries. March 20 brings both the spring equinox and a super full moon in Libra, exactly as the sun enters Aries. These three forces may bring three major changes in the life of Aries this year.

Aries will be operating at full power, reinforced by the power of its planetary ruler Mars, especially for the first four months of the year. Aries is already bold, but will be even bolder, filled with enthusiasm, confidence and energy. Aries is always competitive, and all signs point to a first-place finish!

Mercury retrograde in Pisces

Dates: March 5-March 28

As you know, when Mercury goes retrograde it can cause some turbulence in life, especially things like communication, travel or technology. Add to that, the retrograde in Pisces can bring hypersensitivity and a stirring up of emotions.

However, on the bright side, Pisces is a sign of conclusions, so it can be a good time to communicate feelings to others in areas where you want to bring some closure. You just have to be extra-super-careful to avoid being misunderstood, as we can’t overlook Mercury’s influence in causing miscommunication.

Lastly, right before the retrograde, Mercury will also be in close conjunction to Chiron, an asteroid representative of healing and pain, this can suggest the potential for heartbreak, sadness and tears this month.
