The Heart of Compromise

“This week in the Stars”

by Alexis Cox (radhahomeyoga)

6th – 12th March 2023

The week begins where the last one left off, with our Moon in Leo, now in the star of Purva Phalguni, where she will be Full early in the morning of March 7th (4:40 am PDT). Purva Phalguni is the heart of Leo, where we are learning to enjoy the riches and reputation we have accrued, but to remember the little people who helped us get there as well. Across from Mercury, Saturn and of course, the Sun, in Aquarius, we are remembering the hard work and humanity that brought us to where we are and how having more means having to serve more. We also must seek beauty beneath the appearance of things and not just go for the prettiest bauble on the shelf. Mars being in the star Mrigasira in his last week in Taurus, will help us seek beyond the ego’s desires, as he gives his dristhi to this full moon.

March 8th the Moon has moved into Virgo, riding on the star Uttara Phalguni, where contracts must be made and agreements kept to maintain the fun and pleasure of the previous star. While we tend to the details for a few days, Venus and Jupiter across the way, remind us of the bigger picture, and the higher love that is possible. We want both, especially in our relationships. We need the earthly presence of showing up for what needs to be done to maintain the day to day, and we want the fantasy, and the epic possibility of touching God through our love.

Friday and Saturday, the Moon joins Ketu in Libra for a weekend of relating and also cutting to the heart of what might be our challenge here. This theme is recurring since March of 2022 and will continue until November 2023, so at some point, it’s a good idea to look at what you have been avoiding here. Saturday night/Sunday morning Venus moves into Aries, joining the North node, and we may find ourselves being less understanding in our relationships. The fiery and often selfish energy of Aries can be jolting coming out of dreamy Pisces and Rahu may cause us to fall into projection and Sunday afternoon brings us into an emotional Moon in Scorpio at the same time as Mars is finally exiting Taurus into Gemini after 7 months here!  We may be feeling some sadness and anger and this new Mars transit can cause us to see things in black or white terms and to speak quickly and harshly if we are not mindful!

Forecast for all 12 Signs

Aries
The week begins with the Moon moving towards full in your 5th house of creativity and children, with a dristhi from your ruling planet in your house of values.
