Horoscopes
Aries
Last night’s New Moon occurred in your sign, dear Aries, and is bringing a sense of a personal new beginning to your life. As exciting as this fresh energy feels, don’t burn yourself out by pushing too hard or expecting instant results. Make plans that take the future into account. Otherwise, you might find yourself running out of steam. It’s time to recreate your personality as you’d truly like it to be, and you have all of the power to do so. The month is not without its challenges, though. In fact, you’re likely to stir up some opposition and encounter some hindrances and delays. You can be at your most impulsive now, and while you possess tremendous energy, you need to weigh all sides of a situation before pushing forward. Pace yourself and avoid recklessness to prevent mishaps. Venus is still retrograde making it necessary to review before pushing new plans forward. Use this time to envision what you’d like to do or be in the year ahead.
Taurus
Last night’s New Moon begins a cycle of relative solitude, dear Taurus. Even so, it brings you a charge of energy for dealing with your private life. This is a period of physical and emotional replenishment, review of the past, and tying up loose ends in your life. It’s quite natural for you to retreat a little from the pressures of competition and even social life now to do some soul-searching. You might consider how to bring more quiet time for reflection or increased privacy into your life. You need it! The cycle before you brings the need to review and reflect upon events since your last birthday and to decide what attitudes or situations may need to be left behind so that you can improve, grow, and thrive.
Gemini
Last night’s New Moon brings new energy to channel into your friendships and involvements with groups or teams, as well as inspiration for new ideas and goals, dear Gemini. Your sense of community is strong, and emotional satisfaction can come through your interactions with, or support of, friends and associates. Getting in touch with your innermost hopes and wishes is in the picture during this phase of your life, particularly because with Venus retrograde in this same sector, outside support is not as apparent. Your sense of a place in your community or belonging can drive a lot of what you do in the cycle ahead of you.
Cancer
The New Moon that occurred last night launched a month-long cycle that places a strong focus on career, public, and reputation matters in your life, dear Cancer. It brings heightened awareness of your standing in society or concerning your goals and responsibilities. A sense of renewal and reinvigoration is with you now – you feel more capable of taking care of business than usual. New beginnings can emerge after ridding yourself of outdated attitudes and possibly even projects that have been holding you back from moving forward. Old plans or projects may fall out of focus as you make room for new ones. This is a time of getting noticed. There may be some hurdles to contend with, but nothing you can’t handle. Avoid impulsive moves, but pay attention to sudden urges and hunches.
Leo
The New Moon occurring last night has served as a prompt to expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination over the coming weeks, dear Leo. Activities that break you out of your routine are in focus. With retrograde Venus in the same sign as the New Moon, you are also reevaluating your goals and attachments. In fact, there is a strong emphasis now on putting dysfunctional or negative attitudes, ideas, and beliefs behind you, and powerful energy for doing so. You may feel renewed by a different perspective on your life. Projects may take a while to get off the ground, but this gives you the chance to make changes and edits.
Virgo
Last night’s New Moon brings intense energy into your life for putting negative situations and self-limiting attitudes behind you, dear Virgo. Its alignment with retrograde Venus in your solar eighth house suggests you’d do well with reworking your approach to pursuing your desires and living your life feeling more empowered and in charge as a result. You may have a different view of what you want from yourself and others now, and this insight can bring about substantial changes in the weeks ahead. There may be a situation revolving around finances, debts, shared resources, and support that requires adjustments. There’s a general feeling of starting fresh in the air today, but also of increased responsibilities. Try not to push so hard that you run out of steam – pace yourself.
Libra
This week is excellent for putting a difficult situation, attitude, or project behind you, dear Libra. Last night’s New Moon occurred in your partnership zone and aligned with retrograde Venus. While it may seem from time to time these days that the power is in others’ hands, this is an excellent time for discovering your relationship needs. This week, a symbolic fresh start or wiping of the slate clean occurs, and dysfunctional relating patterns can be put behind you now. You see what you value in a new light. What you feel and see now are important, but do avoid impulsive moves. Relationship needs are awakened and can feel urgent, but try to wait things out before making significant changes. You have more review to do regarding love and finances.
Scorpio
This week is big for putting things behind you and feeling refreshed as you begin new cycles, dear Scorpio. This relates more specifically to your work, health, routines, and habits. These matters have been in the foreground in your life recently, but with last night’s New Moon, you now feel equipped to take charge of things and begin anew in a significant way. You are looking at what and who you value in a new light, and this can prompt major changes. Your working environment, daily life and schedules, health, wellness, and connection with the work you do are all part of this. If you need to let go of projects or habits that have consumed too much of your time or that are holding you back from thriving, then this is the time to do so. Watch for impulsive or impatient moves now, but listen to hunches and instincts.
Sagittarius
Last night’s New Moon occurred in your solar fifth house, dear Sagittarius, and this brings out your more creative, romantic, and celebratory inclinations. It’s an important week for wiping the slate clean, as is the case with all New Moons but with retrograde Venus involved as well, this is of particular significance. Whatever you need to let go of or put behind you so that you can thrive in these areas of life, now is the time to begin anew. Reviving an old hobby or returning to a previous love may be in focus for some, but if this happens, it’s important to approach these things in new ways. Changes are likely, and delays may be involved, but this shouldn’t stop you from exploring your needs and clearing the way for new beginnings down the road.
Capricorn
Last night’s New Moon has brought fresh energy to your solar fourth house, dear Capricorn. You’re now in a stronger position to improve your personal life, including family connections, living conditions, and home life. There can be a big focus on downsizing or letting go of negative energy this week, and excellent support for decluttering. You become more aware of your need for a support system now, and this stimulates you to improve, change, and enhance your domestic world. With Venus retrograde in the same sector right now, it can be more useful to finish up and refine projects that are already in progress than it would be for brand new endeavors. Tastes and interests can take a sharp turn in a few weeks. Feelings or ties to the past that are holding you back from thriving may need to be put behind you. Fortunately, you are unlikely to resist letting go.
Aquarius
The New Moon that occurred last night stimulates a sense of beginning new, dear Aquarius, mainly related to learning and connecting, as it influences your sector of communications and transportation. Even though this area of your solar chart has been busy recently, and these themes have been in the foreground, now you’re in a position to take charge and make meaningful improvements. You may be reassessing current projects and plans and rediscovering old ones, bringing fresh energy to past studies and ventures. You can feel strongly about reorganizing and decluttering your daily life now. This is a good cycle for those returning to school. For some, this can point to the urge to start fresh in a relationship with a sibling, classmate, or neighbor. Getting errands done, catching up with emails, and clearing up paperwork will be in focus and will lead to feeling very good about yourself and your contributions.
Pisces
The New Moon that occurred last night brings a spirit of starting fresh to your life, dear Pisces, mainly related to your relationship with money or business. This influence can also stimulate the need to reorganize your life on an emotional level if you’ve been feeling that people have been undervaluing you. You should be getting to a stronger sense of how you are managing your resources with Venus retrograde in the same sector as the New Moon. You may be rethinking some of the things you value, and you could be looking at your talents and resources in a different way. It’s a good time for finding the motivation to put something behind you and to start fresh or to renew and complete a project that you put on a shelf. With new insight into past and current patterns, you’re in a fabulous position to improve your life.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
ARIES STRONG
Initiating, pioneering energy. Independent, bold, courageous, assertive, fiery, inspirational, direct, decisive. Can be egotistical, impulsive, impatient, aggressive, lacking subtlety.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE STRONG
Fire is enthusiastic, dynamic, and spontaneous, but lacks reflection. We are more courageous and adventurous now, with a tendency to act before thinking. There is little concern about what happened in the past. We are competitive and possibly impatient or bored easily.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
WATER WEAK
There may be some insensitivity or lack of empathy now. We may be out of touch with what we’re feeling or with our emotional needs. We may be tougher than usual now, and more inclined to follow mental or practical considerations than we are to listen to our intuition.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL STRONG
We are ready to take action and to take on challenges and can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.
FIXED WEAK
We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through.
MUTABLE WEAK
We can have a hard time adapting to changes and to others’ agendas.
LUNAR PHASE: NEW MOON
Moon 0 to 45 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an energetic, impulsive, and subjective period of time. We are looking for new projects and opportunities.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on March 28th:
Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving the Moon is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime).
