Open up the floodgates to your imagination. This is one of the best times all year to receive divine downloads and you\u2019ll want to capture each sparkling gem from your psyche. Find a quiet spot to unplug and meditate. You\u2019ll be surprised by what surfaces when you give yourself space to listen. If you\u2019ve been clinging to something that\u2019s outlived its purpose\u2014an old story, a draining obligation, a lingering attachment\u2014consider today the beginning of a gentle \u201cletting go\u201d process. You don\u2019t have to rip the Band-Aid off all at once. Just start tying up the loose ends and mapping out a better replacement for whatever you\u2019re leaving behind.<\/p>\n Triple-down on the celebration! Friday, March 20 marks the spring equinox AND the astrological New Year as the solar calendar flips over and begins anew with Aries Season<\/a>. Ready for a fresh start? Game on! And don\u2019t spend another second dwelling on winter\u2019s seasonal \u201csins.\u201d We won\u2019t argue that a loaded, garlic-crust pizza goes perfectly with a six-hour streamish sesh, but it\u2019s time to \u201cun-Hygge\u201d yourself. Replace craft supplies with garden tools and couch potato-ing with breezy walks around your neighborhood. Live-out-loud Aries season is a time to grab life by the horns and push the envelope on maximalism. Since Aries is first in the zodiac, the competitive vibes will be fierce for the next four weeks. Are you living on your edge? Go for the gold! And if you happen to out-run a few narcissists with your hard-won victory, revel in it with your full chest. It\u2019s a personal growth experience for them AND you!<\/p>\n Lift the gag orders! A few hours after Aries season<\/a> begins, messenger Mercury<\/a> wakes up from its choppy, three-week retrograde on Friday, March 20 at 3:33 PM EDT. While the messenger planet backstroked through the murky waters of Pisces since February 26, the emotional currents felt more like a riptide\u2014and regularly overtook everyone\u2019s better senses. If you found yourself crying \u201cinexplicably\u201d or for a solid reason, you\u2019ll have to admit that the tears were healing. But enough of this three-hanky drama, it\u2019s time to hug it out. With Mercury back on track, the chronic misunderstandings give way to healing reconciliations. Contracts that were held up in red tape could finally move into the negotiation (and signing!) phase. But don\u2019t lose the important message Mercury retrograde taught about the pitfalls of skimming the surface instead of finding out what lies beneath. Move ahead with a new resolve to slow down, get every question answered and read the fine print.<\/p>\n On Saturday, March 21, courage and compassion work hand in hand under an uplifting trine between motivated Mars in Pisces<\/a> and expansive Jupiter in Cancer<\/a>. Normally, these no-holds barred planets are too busy forging ahead on their independent missions to pause and process emotions. But with both planets in sensitive water signs, it\u2019s essential to read the room. First and foremost, make sure you\u2019re not bulldozing anyone\u2019s feelings on your climb to the top. Check in with your crew and let everyone air their current mood. As long as you steer the conversation in a proactive direction, this will strengthen the team\u2019s bond. If you\u2019ve been waiting for a sign to chase a soulful goal, it could show up serendipitously under this alignment. As you ascend, set yourself up to win by rallying a solid support network. Have you hit a wall? Don\u2019t stubbornly forge ahead against all odds. Today, you might need to lean on your squad for expert advice, brainstorming and important referrals. And it goes both ways. Sharing YOUR wisdom has a ripple effect on your community.<\/p>\n Inspiration strikes like a lightning bolt as the radiant Sun merges with fantasy-agent Neptune on Saturday, March 21. This cosmic connection is a historic one! After meeting up in Pisces since 2012, the Sun and Neptune begin a new 14-year duet in Aries. This means that for the next decade and a half, the annual \u201cNeptune Cazimi\u201d will take place in the Ram\u2019s realm, catalyzing inspired action instead of dreamy drifts. Today\u2019s flashes of insight can launch you toward a powerful initiative. Quiet your mind so you can pick up that signal. While you\u2019re at it, take a break from rigid to-do lists and create space for your ideas to flow freely. Try mind mapping, vision-boarding or go on a walk and talk into your voice notes app as if you\u2019re having a conversation with the muse. While you might not end the day with a ten-part project-plan, that\u2019s not the point! Let yourself dream as if there are no limits.<\/p>\nYour weekly horoscopes for March 16-22<\/h2>\n
