Planetary Chronicles: Week of March 18-24
What's happening this week? The free version of the Planetary Astrology Calendar for the Everyday Mystic.
We know that the Sun enters Aries on March 20, but before that, it touches Neptune in Pisces. What does this mean in real terms? Is it an ending, a farewell, or just a moment of uncertainty before action? How do we know if what we perceive is real or just an echo of something already fading away?
Neptune in Pisces at 29 degrees is the last veil before dawn. It’s the feeling of something dissolving just as we’re about to grasp it. It’s looking at water and seeing reflections instead of shapes. Are we leaving behind a dream or waking up within it?
Saturn is still in Pisces, moving forward at 22 degrees, forming a sextile with Uranus in Taurus. Something seems to be shifting in the background—small adjustments taking shape, creating long-term stability. Have you noticed how decisions that once felt fragile a few months ago now carry more weight? Is this proof that what seemed uncertain was actually solidifying without you realizing it?
Pluto, at 3 degrees of Aquarius, continues its slow but inevitable transformation. It’s not loud energy, but it lingers in the background of everything. Is there something in your perception of the future that has changed, even if you can’t fully explain it?
The Lunar Nodes are still moving through the Pisces-Virgo axis, with the North Node at 27 degrees Pisces and the South Node at 27 degrees Virgo. This transit isn’t an isolated event; it’s a constant backdrop shaping how we interpret the present. Have you noticed that sometimes, the more you try to organize something, the more it demands to be released? Or are you still trying to arrange the chaos before surrendering to change?
Questions for Reflection:
Has what you believe is ending truly ended?
How do you distinguish stagnation from a moment of preparation?
How much patience do you have when you don’t see immediate results?
Is there something you still need to integrate before moving forward?
Present Snapshot:
The Sun enters Aries (March 20): The equinox shifts the light and temperature.
Saturn in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus: Subtle but real changes, like roots growing underground before breaking the surface.
Mercury and Venus retrograding in Aries: Contained impulses, decisions that feel urgent but require review.
Jupiter in Gemini: Open conversations, ideas in the air, but few certainties.
Pluto in Aquarius: Silent reforms, invisible structures mutating at their own pace.
North Node in Pisces / South Node in Virgo: Unlearning control, learning to flow. What we try to measure crumbles; what we release reconfigures itself.
Neptune in Pisces at 29°: The final mist before the crossing, a threshold between what we imagine and what actually is.
Movement doesn’t always mean progress. Sometimes, the most important thing is not what’s changing but what has yet to take form.
If you’re truly at a turning point, what pieces need to be rearranged before you can move forward with greater clarity?
