Astrology for Monday, 23 March 2020:

Today Mars makes a conjunction to Pluto in Capricorn. Mars can describe action and assertiveness, but it is also traditionally a malefic planet exalted in Capricorn. Joining up with Pluto—which can describe misuses and abuses of power, as well as that which is buried beneath the surface—this aspect cautions us to be prepared to respond when power is leveraged against those who are most vulnerable. The Moon in Pisces makes a sextile to Jupiter in Capricorn then a sextile to Mars and Pluto. Jupiter is the ruler of Pisces, and though it is in its fall in Capricorn, this could be a moment of offering needed resources for supporting and caring for our physical and emotional well-being. With so many resources in high demand, this is a time to ask ourselves and one another: what actually is enough in order for each of us to be well? As the Moon moves through the sextiles to Mars and Pluto, we may find that the harm or abuse that we have survived in the past has prepared us to know how to respond to the blatant misuse of power and resources that we are witnessing. The Moon then ingresses into Aries, giving us the fire and initiative to take action on what we know needs to be done, but be careful of acting impulsively when what is needed is strategy and long-term thinking. As the Moon moves through a sextile to Saturn in Aquarius, we may be asked to slow down, channel our momentum into the formulation a plan, and consider how our actions today are preparations for what we will be able to accomplish in the days ahead.
