Astrology for Saturday, 28 March 2020:

Today is full of aspects in the sky. In the dark hours before dawn, we move through one of the most auspicious aspects of the year: Venus in its domicile in Taurus perfects a trine to Jupiter in Capricorn. Although Jupiter is in its fall, the trine brings the two benefics together, then the Moon—exalted in Taurus—moves through a trine to Jupiter and a conjunction with Venus. Love, the abundance of more-than-enough, and the body are all sharing the qualities of receptive earth. Then the Moon moves through trines to Pluto and Mars in Capricorn, asking how we can be well in the midst of the destruction or abuse that we are facing. Joanna Macy writes, “The one question threading through my life here on this beautiful Earth is about how to be fully present to my world—present enough to rejoice and be useful—while we as a species are progressively destroying it … For when you see the world as lover, every being can become—if you have a clever, appreciative eye—an expression of that ongoing, erotic impulse. It takes form right now in each one of us and in everyone and everything we encounter…” How might we move with this Earth differently—particularly when we are the cause of so much earthly destruction—if we approach it as lover, if we are present to the world, ourselves, everyone and everything we encounter as an expression of an ongoing erotic impulse? As Venus makes a trine to Pluto, how can you access the deep resources for power within that erotic pulse? The Moon ingresses into Gemini and directly into a trine to Saturn in Aquarius. With Mercury—the ruler of Gemini—in Pisces, thinking and communication may be challenged. Saturn reminds us to move slowly, deliberately, creating the structures that are necessary to support effective social connection.
