This week Venus sextiles Pluto, Jupiter stations direct, Mars conjuncts North Node, and Mercury retrograde and Mars conjunct. These astrological conversations are bridging the energy of the Eclipse’s we just experienced and the upcoming New Moon in Pisces which I will write about in a separate post.
VENUS SEXTILE PLUTO | MARCH 9, 2026
Venus entered the sign of Aries on March 6. Venus in Aries through transit marks a time period of growth pertaining to how we inwardly relate and as a consequence how we are relating with others. Venus in Aries brings desires of passion. Reviewing old passions that could be reignited presently with Mars in Pisces ruling Venus. There can be the experience of wanting forward movement, Aries, yet there can be confusion around how to actually move forward. This can be especially true in regard with those we share and spend time with. Where an inner ideal meets our desire. This helps us to discern what it is that is worth acting on and moving forward. Venus in Aries seeks freedom and independence, yet Mars in Pisces wants to experience the Ultimate. The desires we revisit now can reflect where we are getting caught up in projecting the Ultimate onto an external dynamic. The evolutionary reason for this is helping us, even through our inner confusion on what to act on and what choice to make, in order for us to go deeper within. To experience the Ultimate from within. This can be the inner creativity, passion, or Source itself. Each question we have on an inner level is beckoning us to stay present, go within, and to invite our inner knowing to reveal itself. This is so we can understand what should and must be acted on and what shouldn’t. More deeply, we are called to connect with our instinct. Then to be responsible with our execution of action.
Venus is in a new phase with Neptune, her higher octave, and Saturn. This calls us to utilize our wisdom that has been garnered to know what action to be taken. Is it an action that you can commit to? Can you stand by your choice even if the consequences are not what you expected?
On March 9 Venus sextiles Pluto in Aquarius. This conversation helps us to observe what is getting in the way of experiencing freedom in choice. Meaning, what is getting in the way of us acting on what we desire to. Pluto in Aquarius wants us to liberate from old crystallization from within. Where we have over-identified with something from the past that is thwarting growth. With Uranus in Taurus ruling Pluto, and Venus ruling Uranus, we are called to integrate deeper levels of our individuality. What we have been coming to understand about ourselves. Pluto sextile Venus speaks to the freedom we experience when we commit to a goal that we are desiring to achieve. Mars ruling Venus can bring forth the courage and inspiration to commit. This is especially true with Venus in a new phase with Saturn and Neptune. We are learning how to apply the new structures within our consciousness in order to feel the impact of how we are inwardly relating to the world in a new way. Confusion and doubt can come into play this week with Mars and Mercury rx in Pisces. The deeper calling when confusion surfaces is to do what Lahiri Mayhasa used to tell his devotees when they experienced ambiguity; “meditate more”. This reflects the natural and timeless law that all answers are found within the problem. All answers are found within our direct connection with Source/Spirit. All answers are found by staying present in the moment. Being still for a short moment, quieting the mind, leads to momentum through right/correct action. This also means that part of our own inner revolution, the breaking down of old structures and the rebuild within, comes from trust and faith within ourselves and inner guidance. Even times of confusion. Uranus in Taurus ruled by Venus says “you know you better than anyone else, listen from within”.
Another note on Venus in Aries, ruled by Mars in Pisces, sextile Pluto and hugging Saturn and Neptune this week; there can be a deeper sensitivity that we are experiencing. This is especially true with all that is going on in the world right now. This reflects our interconnectedness with the collective consciousness. It also reflects interdependence. Each choice we make, no matter how small, has an impact on the whole. How do you want to nurture the “whole”? How do you feed it?
JUPITER STATION DIRECT: MARCH 11, 2026
Jupiter started its retrograde cycle on November 11, 2025, at 25°09′ Cancer. On March 11 it stations direct at 15°05′ Cancer. Jupiter is about the journey we are on and the path we take on the journey. Jupiter also corresponds to our sincerity and honesty. Consequently, is correlates to dishonesty and inauthenticity. Where we can find ourselves along the journey overcompensating. Jupiter expands and is growth oriented. In the sign of Cancer, Jupiter reflects our ability to be emotionally sincere and honest along the journey. It is expansive and asks for us to not be too rooted in beliefs. Jupiter is the teacher, and if we are too rooted in a belief, we can loose out on pertinent information that helps with our expansion. Cancer is a return to center on a Soul level. Cancer comes out of the sign of Gemini where we gather information and yet, the Soul can’t stay in the mind. It has to return to center. To the emotional body in order to understand how we emotionally relate to what it is that we are interacting with on the day to day, moment to moment.
Jupiter retrograde has been this deeper calling to understand what is meant to be reviewed, revisited, and resolved when it comes to our own personal emotional truths. Throughout the retrograde cycle it has highlighted and magnified where there has been an over-identification with what has been internalized. The messages, the information, and the beliefs we have taken in. Where we are meant to take a deeper look at the impact of what has been internalized. Where it has permitted growth and where it has stunted our emotional maturation process. It has had us peeking behind the curtain of our emotional reality to understand where we might have strayed from our authentic path. Where we might have over-identified with a conditioned belief and it took us down the path that wasn’t in alignment with who we know ourselves to be.
Jupiter is known as the great benefic, but the deeper teaching of Jupiter says, “if you want to receive my gift, you must let go of something first”.
On March 11, Jupiter will station, holding its place in the sky before it enters direct motion. Anytime a planet is stationing it intensifies its energy. It makes it known. This day can mark a deep clarification on the path, journey, that you are meant to go on. The path that aligns with your emotional truth and authenticity. Jupiter stationing direct asks for us to integrate the lessons and teachings that we have been coming to understand about our emotional reality throughout this Jupiter retrograde cycle. What is it that you need to give up? What is it that needs to be released? What “boulder” on the journey is blocking your path? Is there a belief that has been getting in the way of you feeling secure within yourself? To act on what you desire to do. How can you show up emotionally honest?
This day heightens our sensitivity to external stimuli. It also asks for us to not take messages from others or their actions personally. To stay grounded on our path. To not let external triggers dissuade you from the journey you are on, but to allow the triggers to give context about how beliefs were internalized in the first place. This is especially true when it comes to our family and conditioning.
MARS CONJUNCT THE LUNAR NORTH NODE: MARCH 13, 2026
Mars reflects the conscious desires that emanate from within our Soul. Everything amounts to desire. Our own evolutionary growth amounts to desire. It is from our desires that we get to choose, through free will, what we want to act on in order to discover more about ourselves.
Anytime that a planet conjuncts the lunar North Node it clarifies what it is that we are working on from an evolutionary perspective. This is because the nodal axis is the “karmic axis”. A planet conjunct the lunar north node clarifies what is being “set in motion” for the evolutionary intention.
Mars is the ruler of Neptune, Saturn, and Venus. With Saturn in a new phase with Neptune, and Venus, in a new phase with Neptune and Saturn. This echoes a new cycle that is “setting up shop” for each one of us individually and collectively.
Mars is the initiative of personal and Soul will. Of collective will. Mars in Pisces energizes our inspiration and potential for the future to come. It is where a dream can inspire us to initiate a higher purpose. Yet, with Mars in Pisces conjunct the north node it reflects a time period of significant endings (Pisces) and beginnings (Mars/North Node). Whatever was seeded into your consciousness during the eclipse season is asking for each of us to make a choice (Mars) about a goal we are wanting to achieve.
With Mars in Pisces, it can feel nebulous. The potential on the horizon, yet confusion on how to go about accessing it. This is where Mars asks for us to stay present in the moment. To allow our instinct to guide us. To utilize our discernment to know what choice to act on.
Mars can bring up fear, fear can be healthy. It can point to the new path. Fear happens, evolutionary speaking, when we are birthing something new. It is unknown. The call during this time that can bring about fear and confusion is residual desires that surface. Desires that weren’t fully actualized or even acted on. The question becomes is it worth still acting on? Do you need to wrap something up to feel the freedom of forward momentum?
Again, Pisces asks for us to trust ourselves. Our inner connection. Whatever action is meant to be taken helps us to gallop into the new evolutionary chapter. Creating new foundations and ways of relating to ourselves and others. To the “whole”.
MORE WAYS TO CONTINUE TO CONNECT:
I also want to share that my upcoming workshop, “The Forbidden Feminine: Asteroids of Exile, Power, & Sacred Restoration,” begins March 28th from 7–9 PM Eastern.
This is a five-week live series where, each Saturday, we work with one of the “forbidden feminine” asteroids — the archetypal forces that reveal how the feminine principle has been exiled, distorted, or weaponized throughout history… and how it is meant to be restored.
We will journey through:
Pandora — Often reduced to the one who “opened the box,” Pandora represents the vilification of feminine curiosity and agency. Her myth reflects the cultural narrative that blames women for chaos, when in truth she symbolizes initiation, consciousness, and the awakening that comes when innocence meets consequence.
Lilith — The first woman who refused to submit. Lilith embodies sovereignty, erotic autonomy, and the cost of exile for choosing equality. She reveals where we have been shamed for our independence — and where reclaiming it restores dignity and balance.
Medusa — Demonized as a monster, Medusa was once a priestess violated and then punished for her own assault. She carries the archetype of righteous rage, trauma, and the power of the gaze. Medusa teaches that what has been turned into stone within us can be transmuted into protective strength.
Kassandra — The truth-teller who was cursed never to be believed. Kassandra represents prophetic knowing, intuitive intelligence, and the anguish of being dismissed. She reflects our collective crisis of truth — and the necessity of restoring integrity to both speech and listening.
Lucretia — A historical figure whose violation and subsequent suicide exposed corruption within Rome’s ruling class. Lucretia embodies honor, moral crisis, and the consequences of systemic decay. Her story forces us to confront how feminine virtue has been tied to societal order — and what happens when that order collapses.
Each week includes a live lecture and teaching, followed by a Q&A.
There are currently 7 spots remaining to keep the container intimate and focused.
All classes are recorded and sent to participants, so if you cannot attend live, you will still receive full access. You will also receive the PDF slides from each presentation.
If you are feeling the weight of this moment in history… if you sense that the moral and archetypal fractures playing out collectively are mirrored internally… this work is designed to offer depth, clarity, and restoration.
