Strong Signs, Elements, Modes

Today’s Emphasized Signs of the Zodiac

AQUARIUS STRONG

Humanitarian, innovative, group conscious, progressive, serving others. Can be rebellious, eccentric, aloof, emotionally superficial, overly extroverted.

PISCES STRONG

Compassionate, sensitive, self-sacrificing, gentle, intuitive. Can be escapist, impractical, hyper- sensitive, gullible.

Today’s Elemental Balance

FIRE WEAK

We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action.

EARTH WEAK

There can be a lack of desire, interest, or skills regarding  practical affairs. We may not be very much in touch with reality. Difficulties concentrating, grounding ourselves. 

WATER STRONG

Water signs are Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality. 

Today’s Modal Balance

CARDINAL WEAK

This is not a time that we tend to naturally initiate actions. We may be stronger at following up than starting anew. Survival mechanisms may be weaker now. 

MUTABLE STRONG

The Mutable signs are Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, and Virgo. We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.

Today’s Lunar Phase

LUNAR PHASE: BALSAMIC

Moon is less than 45 degrees behind the Sun. 

Time to tie up loose ends, review, reflect, let go, and edit.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on  March 12th:

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).
