Venus with Jupiter while Mercury meets Saturn

The first days of March are particularly important for Mercury, and for our minds. As we’re starting to see Saturn and Pluto change signs (major ingresses, read about them here), we should be mindful of the intense energies these planets are feeling. Since they take so long in each sign, there are likely some cycles that are being wrapped up… The new cycles are felt subliminally at first, and over the next few months, you’ll begin to open to up shifts in things you might not have even known were there to begin with…

First: The annual reunion of Venus and Jupiter in the sign of Aries on 01 March 2023 reflects to us a cosmic dance between the two planets bringing forth harnessable energy to achieve brilliant things. During a conjunction, the energies of the two planets blend together intensely, creating an atmosphere of great potential that can be used to spark inspiration and fuel innovation; It’s the seeding of their cycle together, similar to a New Moon.

Jupiter is particularly excited in Aries at the moment… It's all about pioneering, and starting new (big) things that require a lot of faith. It's a time to take bold steps and push yourself out of your comfort zone. Meanwhile, Venus in Aries (who’s just a tad uncomfortable in this sign, BTW) is able to lend her expertise by ensuring the aesthetics of our plans are efficient, productive, and cohesive. She reminds us that it's not just about taking action, but about doing so in a way that’s beautiful, passionate, and graceful.

The energy of this transit for the week is one of faithful planning, optimistic innovation, and aesthetic grandeur. This is an excellent time to dive into your creative projects, expand your work, and trust all the intuitive nudges you're getting, even if they're a bit abnormal for you. Consider taking on new challenges that require you to think outside the box and tap into your inner innovator. With Venus and Jupiter by your side, you can trust that your efforts will be aligned with the greater good and lead to success.

Second: Mercury passes over looming Saturn on 02 March 2023, and our thoughts and speech will be affected by a creative but intense haze. The intensity of Saturn in the late degrees can inspire brilliant strikes of genius while also giving off major mad scientist vibes.

This transit can lead to unexpected and out-of-the-box thinking or behavior. It's a time to explore new ideas and take calculated risks. However, it can also be a time for introspection and self-reflection, as the melancholic haze can sometimes affect our judgment and make us doubt ourselves.

It's important to note that, while creativity can be inspired, the "lone wolf" energy of Aquarius and Saturn can cause Mercury to respond with harsh words or thoughts this week. Be mindful of the urge to take decisive actions, and choose to speak up only when and why it's necessary.

If you're into creative endeavors like writing, art, or music, this transit can be an exciting time. You may come up with some seriously inspired work or have a major breakthrough moment in your creative process. But even if you're not the creative type, there's potential for new and exciting ideas to emerge during this transit.

The Mercury/Saturn meet-up is a time to embrace your inner mad scientist and let your imagination run wild… And for Saturn, that sometimes means leaning into the haze and sinking into solitude. Either deep reflection or cathartic (but healthy) escapism could be beneficial at this time, depending on the situation.

Third: Mercury enters Pisces immediately after conjoining Saturn on 02 March 2023. Its entrance into Pisces marks a roughly month-long period in which this feminine and outside-the-box thinking is endured and supported by the fluidity and open-mindedness of Pisces. Pisces is faithful, optimistic, empathetic, and compassionate. As such, it lends our headspaces a dreamier, encouraging motivation….

So, pay attention to that intuition this week. And keep riding it. Keep flowing with it, rather. Trusting your intuition and embracing the uncertainty in the things you’re exploring over the next few weeks is key to harnessing the Pisces energy in deeply fulfilling ways…
