Mercury remains retrograde until January 8, and these days before its turn to directness coincide with the holiday holidays for many. He will become direct on January 8 and this would be the time to get involved in new business projects, active implementation of plans, but... many can get bogged down)) in the secret energy of Pisces.
On January 1, Mars in Pisces conjoined Neptune, and on January 3, Venus moved into Pisces, and on January 3-27, a stellium will gather in Pisces: Venus, Mars, Neptune. This company is on its own :). The energies of this stellium give rise to situations in which “undercurrents” will play a significant role. Feelings, emotional connections, irrational sensations can inhibit activity, circumstances will be created in which it is difficult to carry out your will directly, and you need to act secretly or wait until the situation is more favorable for decisive steps.
Mars in Pisces is not focused on a specific impulse, it is difficult for him to act directly and openly. What is on the surface will not always correspond to what is the true essence of the process and the process itself. This is especially important to remember in the first 8 days, when retro Mercury will slow down before stopping and reversing on January 8th.
The current stellium in Pisces is a time of behind-the-scenes meetings and unspoken agreements, intelligence activities, underground operations, secret plans, indirect influences and secret relationships. Things may encounter obstacles, the meaning of which is often unclear. At this time, various kinds of petitioners, scammers and those wishing to profit at the expense of others become more active. Scandals at this time can be a screen to hide the true state of affairs or divert public attention from truly important facts.
Sun/Pluto-Jupiter-Uranus Tau Square Tension
This will be a difficult time for business activity, even after Mercury becomes direct. On January 3-14, the Sun/Pluto-Jupiter-Uranus tau square takes shape, which provides a complex economic or political background for new beginnings. In the circumstances of this period, the role of the individual who knows how to unite the team and carry out his imperative will becomes important. Started projects or businesses may progress sluggishly and it will be difficult to make their development offensive if there is no strong leader who takes the lion's share of management, is authoritative enough and knows how to combine flexibility with pressure.
A certain dynamics for the undertakings of this period is given by the fact that from January 9, all planets, including the highest ones, move directly, this happens infrequently, and the fact that on January 9-15, the energy of Mars in Pisces will be concentrated by the sextile of Pluto. But the implementation of new business endeavors will require a lot of physical and mental stress and will be associated with crises as it develops.
If the business venture is related to beverages, the ocean, the fishing industry, charities, medical, religious or other relief activities, its chances will be higher. This is also a good period for projects related to photography, musical and poetic creativity, restorative wellness treatments, psychotherapy, psychology, and oriental energy exercises.
On January 12, the full moon at 22°27′ Cancer will complete the Grand Cross to the cardinal tau square. This is a difficult full moon. On January 12, a whole range of precise aspects comes. The days near the full moon, especially the few days before it, are a period of crisis - an aggravation of problems, the likelihood of force majeure. This is a time of revelations; what was previously carefully hidden may become obvious. Errors in planning, shortcomings in administration and management will become visible and clear, or the original plan may show its failure. Some projects will have to be completed, while others will have to undergo significant changes. There may be problems at work or in business due to negative economic, political and other external factors, which may result in layoffs and staff reductions.
On January 28, the transition of Mars into Aries coincides with the new moon at 08°15′ Aquarius. Mars will be in Aries from January 28 to March 9. After the Pisces period, the transition of Mars into Aries, coinciding with the start of the Aquarius energies of the new moon, gives a change of scenery - this is an active period when determination, initiative, the desire to fight for one’s interests or ideals and get quick results become decisive. What was ripening, gestating, and slowed down during the stellium in Pisces will make itself felt and begin to actively manifest itself in the new lunar month.
During this time, people feel the need to have more freedom. In public sentiment, the principles of justice and equality become important, and attempts to limit constitutional rights and freedoms can cause violent protest and various kinds of social protests. If this energy does not find a constructive outlet, it can result in rudeness and rudeness, fights, and various types of offenses.
The chart for this new moon on January 28th has many complex aspects, and the period of late January itself is the beginning of “eclipse season” - the full moon of this lunar cycle will be a lunar eclipse at 22°28′ Leo on February 11th. In the last days of January and early February, Mercury activates the cardinal tau square: Mercury/Pluto-Jupiter-Uranus. Conjunct Pluto, Mercury makes contacts more intense and opinions uncompromising. This is the time for the publication of unpleasant facts, possible scandals and noisy discussions in the media.
The combination of these planets is tense and explosive. Pluto speaks the language of ultimatums and threats. This is an aspect of terror and suppression. Manipulation is possible as a means of achieving a goal, a struggle for power and control using tactics of intimidation and suppression. During the days of this aspect, tough decisions and decisive statements on political issues and demarches at the interstate level are possible.
In a constructive manner, this aspect can provide serious advances in the study of issues, in secret searches and research, in police investigations and intelligence activities, in atomic and genetic engineering, in solving financial problems, and in psychoanalytic aspects. In the negative are aggressive attacks, military conflicts, terrorist attacks, fires and accidents.
And now more about the aspects and periods of January
On January 1-08, business activity will be reduced, and these days are unfavorable for new beginnings and important decisions. Therefore, it is worth devoting them to rest, finalizing ideas and projects. You need to refrain from important initiatives, but you can deal with current tasks. Now it is easier to find a compromise on controversial issues and repeated negotiations. At this time, you can return to the postponed topic and look at it again, find the ideas and details missing for completion, finalize it and begin implementation after January 8th.
At this time, you can receive an offer, but do not rush to accept it, even if the conditions suit you. Step back, take time to understand the topic, and wait for more information. There are many secrets or details in the circumstances of this period that are now slipping away or have not yet been revealed.
January 1 Mars conjunct Neptune, orbit of action December 27 – January 7. Under this aspect, secret activities take place, including criminal and fraudulent ones, so vigilance is needed, especially with new people, various kinds of petitioners, or those who promise something in exchange for your loyalty or financial investments. Secret negotiations may take place, intrigues may be woven. You need to be careful in financial matters and in working with documents. There is a danger of forgery, deception, and theft. Frauds or their consequences can turn against their participants, so do not get involved in something like this. You need to be careful with new foods and drinks, and be attentive when using medications - there is a possibility of food or drug poisoning.
Mercury sextile Venus, aspect in effect January 1–7. A good aspect for intellectual entertainment: visiting an art exhibition or concert, communicating with friends - this will allow you to take a break from heavy thoughts and worries. If you can’t take a day off, try to just relax and enjoy what’s happening. This is a time of comprehending secrets, intuitive insights, and creative discoveries. It is favorable for those who work with words, text, musicians and poets. The energies of this aspect heighten feelings, especially feelings of friendship and love. The first days of the year are a good time to discuss relationships or tell a loved one that you love them.
On January 7, the Sun is in conjunction with Pluto, but the aspect period is January 4-12 as part of a tau square. In the situations of these days, we may be faced with attempts to dictate our terms, we may be pressured by people in power or superiors, or we ourselves will be the ones who apply pressure to confirm our way of action or radically change the situation. It must be remembered that self-affirmation and uncompromising will be bad advisers, and endurance will be the main and decisive argument in any dispute.
Plans may not go as expected, agreements may fall through, trips may be delayed, or flights may be delayed. Don't do anything illegal or risky. It is better not to visit crowded places or public events. Do not argue with aggressive individuals. Avoid disadvantaged areas. This aspect coincides with the stationarity of Mercury and its turn towards directness, so it is better to refrain from difficult and dangerous trips. On January 6-8, travel delays, difficulties on the road, delays and lack of coordination of actions are possible. You should be careful when transmitting information and not leave things to chance.
On January 11, Mars sextiles Pluto, the aspect period is January 9-15. At this time, you can clarify what was hidden, identify inhibitory factors and get more actively involved in your business. But in business, don’t expect instant returns; circumstances will help you either discard what is preventing you from realizing your plans, or force you to change the plans themselves. A new understanding of the situation is one of the important consequences of this aspect. When you need to convince or change someone's mind, try not to hurt your opponent's feelings. There is a possibility of involvement in the affairs of official bodies or the need to resolve issues with their help. There is the possibility of skillful, constructive steps in a joint business, but in making tactical decisions now intuition will be more useful than logic.
On January 4-12, the Sun conjunct Pluto activates the Pluto-Jupiter-Uranus tau square. On days near exact aspects, disruptions in business and all sorts of surprises are likely. Negative circumstances, political or economic factors, or the will of other people may interfere with plans. We may be forced to make changes to plans due to circumstances or scenarios that are beyond our complete control.
Conflicts and problems in business, partnership and service relationships are likely. For some, taxation, insurance, or profit sharing may be a topic of discussion or cause problems. For some, changes may affect work and long-term plans. For some, these are difficulties in home and family circumstances. This is also a difficult period for resolving legal issues. Aspects included in the tau square will be active throughout its duration. I will highlight the days of the exact aspects and the specificity they add.
January 10 The Sun is in square Uranus. The aspect inclines towards radical decisions and rash actions, but all this can harm the business or aggravate problems, so endurance is needed if circumstances or unexpected misunderstandings unsettle you. Approaches to influential persons or patrons may result in conflict and lack of support. The day is not favorable for traveling abroad, establishing foreign connections or placing capital abroad. Women may have problems with their bosses and family men. On January 9-12, injuries are likely due to nervousness, carelessness, you need to be careful while driving.
On January 12, the full moon at 22°27′ Cancer completes the Grand Cross to the tau square, and the Sun enters an exact square with Jupiter. This is the culmination of the month and many endeavors. Emotions reach boiling point, and problems are at their maximum manifestation. This time will be indicative and turning point in relationships and current situations. Problems in family relationships and domestic troubles are possible. Shortcomings in business, miscalculations in finance, mistakes in undertakings will manifest themselves to the fullest, and the situation will need to be corrected in a fire mode. But there may also be circumstances that cannot be adjusted or corrected.
There may be problems at work or in business due to negative economic, political and other external factors. Some projects will have to be completed, while others will have to undergo significant changes before they can continue. For those who have planets or important chart points at 16°-23° Libra, Capricorn, Cancer and Aries, this is a difficult time.
The difficulty of this period is that on January 11-16, the communicator Mercury will be “in the mine”; it will not make any major aspects with other planets. At the level of agreements, agreements, relationships, it will be difficult to find understanding and support, to “reach out” to the opponent. It's difficult, but not impossible, it just takes special effort. If you need to resolve issues or negotiate, carefully consider the point of view of your interlocutor, try to find a common platform for interaction. But practice moderation in everything and don’t make promises, they will be very difficult to keep.
On January 12, the square of the Sun and Jupiter distorts perspectives and gives unrealistic expectations. People promise more than they can deliver, so you shouldn’t trust what they say. Circumstances may prompt us to take on overwhelming tasks, to engage in projects that require more energy and resources than we have. Therefore, you should not start and promise anything important. Financial transactions are unfavorable and can bring losses.
On January 12, Mercury returns to Capricorn and will be in this sign until February 7. In communication, negotiations, interviews, specifics, facts, and statements on the matter will be welcomed. To achieve your goal, you need to be in a business minded state. Those who present information, answer questions, or make suggestions briefly and to the point will have an advantage.
During this period, you should maintain subordination and adhere to the rules, even if they seem like a mere formality to you. Violation of work routine and neglect of duties can cause serious complications at work. The desire to circumvent the law will turn into a problem. This time is favorable for taking a refresher course. The most successful trips will be those that have a specific or business purpose.
On January 12, Venus is in conjunction with Neptune, the aspect period is January 9-17. Against the background of the aspectual ups and downs accompanying this period, the conjunction of Venus with Neptune stands apart and is not directly included in the general planetary showdowns. The energies of this aspect stimulate aesthetic needs and creativity, interest in culture and art. Music and poetry are the artistic forms that are most in tune with this type of energy.
This is a fruitful period for musicians and poets; it promotes creative inspiration. Impressions give rise to new images and themes for works of art. Music can have a psychotherapeutic effect. This aspect does not have a significant impact on the business sphere, but since the general background is tense, you need to ensure that exposure to emotions and daydreaming do not lead to unrealistic decisions, financial mistakes and miscalculations. In situations of this period there may be veiled deception, weaving intrigues, fraud, or something that is done quietly, behind the scenes. Therefore, we do not lose our vigilance.
Another side of this aspect is romantic acquaintances, falling in love, secret affairs. A new relationship may seem ideal, but such an impression will be too abstract, so do not forget to make allowances for reality. The aspect favors secret affairs or working in solitude. It helps to achieve spiritual unity with loved ones. To strengthen relationships with loved ones, it is beneficial to jointly attend concerts, creative evenings, exhibitions, and participate in cultural and religious events.
On January 19, Mars is in square with Saturn, the period of activity of the aspect is January 12-24. This aspect gives obstacles in business and increases stress, including physical ones. People or circumstances may stand in the way of achieving the desired goal, and in business there will be a feeling that we are breaking through barriers. Anger and irritation are frequent companions of this aspect, but the best way to cope with these difficult energies is to maintain restraint, patience and not try to overcome the situation with a jerk. It is best to work on projects alone and minimize contact with ill-wishers.
There may be a conflict with management, influential people, with those who are older, legal troubles. It is better not to schedule visits to official bodies for days near the exact aspect. Resolving issues may encounter bureaucracy, unnecessary formalities and refusal. These days, injuries, fractures, exacerbation of chronic diseases are possible; it is better not to engage in traumatic sports.
On January 20, Venus sextiles Pluto, and on January 21, the Moon will complete a bisextile to it. These energies enhance feelings, the need for unity with loved ones, loved ones or friends. Love relationships become brighter, sexuality intensifies. Good days for renewal and transformation of family and love relationships. These days you can enrich your relationship with the depth of intimacy and improve it. Good days for financial transactions and for making important decisions. Income from business cooperation is possible. These are days of romantic dating, emotional intensity. New ideas for promising projects may appear, and business relationships may begin.
January 23 Mercury sextiles Neptune. This is the third aspect in the Mercury loop and the circumstances of these days can be associated with ideas, meetings and events of the periods of December 10 and the end of 2016. What appeared then can now return in the form of a completed concept or will show its inconsistency. The aspect enhances intuition, insight and creative imagination. These are days of creative upsurge, a good time for people of creative professions, their inspiration will receive a new impetus. Those who have strong intuition can easily understand the motives of other people and make the right decision.
In business, when signing an agreement, a partner may not be too picky, making concessions. But this is an ambiguous aspect; when planning things, you can smoothly move into the realm of dreams and not notice in time that this transition has occurred. And we ourselves can agree to something that does not suit our interests. So be careful.
Meetings near this day can have a mystical connotation, and “synchronizations”, which are not uncommon during such periods, can be perceived as signs and often this is not far from the truth. But at this time it is easy to mistake a dream for a real person. The revelations that come may have little to do with the truth, and it takes time to find out whether the perception differs from the actual state of affairs. New initiatives designed for development will have very low potential for implementation. The days of January 23-27 are good for secret affairs with a short life cycle.
On January 27, Venus is in square with Saturn, the aspect period is January 24-28. Unlucky days for financial steps, there is a high probability of miscalculations, disappointment in previously taken steps or plans. Difficulties in resolving legal issues. There may be forced expenses, losses or damages, shortfall in profit or lack of financing, anxiety due to non-repayment or repayment of debt. It is better not to make large purchases and stick to saving. Don't lend, and if you can't avoid it, don't borrow more than you're willing to lose.
In a relationship, disagreements and separations, forced separation are likely. This aspect has a sobering effect on relationships with other people. If there were illusions in a recently started relationship, now they will become obvious. Unfavorable days for romantic acquaintances and starting new relationships. Complications may concern relationships with management, elderly and influential people. January 26-28 are unfavorable days for official visits and visits to authorities.
January 28 new moon 08°15′ Aquarius and ingression of Mars into Aries. This is a time for introducing innovations, modernization and renewal in business, establishing friendly connections, and working on collective projects in a group of like-minded people. A favorable time for scientific research, mastering new areas of knowledge, introducing scientific developments into business and production. But hasty conclusions and decisions should be avoided, and with significant undertakings and projects you should wait a few days in order to start them between February 3rd.
On January 29, Mercury will connect with Pluto, and on February 1, it will enter a square to Uranus, and on January 26-February 3, another Mercury/Pluto-Jupiter-Uranus tau square will form. Mercury conjunct Pluto makes contacts more intense, opinions uncompromising, and travel tense.
At the end of January and beginning of February, the themes and problems that made themselves felt on December 14-23 may return. People with planets at 16°-22° Libra, Capricorn, Cancer and Aries in the natal chart will feel this influence most strongly.
This is a period of psychological probing, revealing secrets and solving riddles. Studying and research can become more productive with good mental focus, focus, and depth of understanding. Already a few days before the culmination of this aspect, increasing irritation may be felt. Self-control and self-control are recommended. Resolving business and personal issues may be accompanied by a conflict of opinions and interests; there will be a tendency to push through decisions.
During this period, it is easy to ruin relationships with employees or companions. In the last days of January and the first days of February, the likelihood of equipment failure, problems with communications, man-made accidents, catastrophes, problems in communication and travel increases. From January 26 to February 2, it is better not to go on potentially dangerous trips, to countries of political instability or to zones of military conflicts. These days, you need to be careful when driving and handling electrical appliances; it is better not to engage in extreme sports.
At the end of January and beginning of February, the themes and problems that made themselves felt on December 14-23 may return. People with planets at 16°-22° Libra, Capricorn, Cancer and Aries in the natal chart will feel this influence most strongly. If these degrees are not involved in our chart, this transit will not cause problems. But you should avoid conflicts, disputes and dangerous trips, and do not “cut from the shoulder,” no matter how the situation provokes it.
It's better to be patient and not take attempts to manipulate you to heart. This way you can avoid misunderstandings, unnecessary worries and unnecessary problems. If there are no significant influences on the natal chart, circumstances may not change fundamentally, but they may require a change in point of view to show that there is another side to the issue, given which we can understand the situation more objectively and act more effectively.
In the period from February 22 to February 28, 2017, the configuration of the planets will be formed - tau - square Mars, Uranus - Pluto - Jupiter in cardinal signs.
What events and changes correspond to this intense interaction of planets? Forecast of events.
A similar planetary configuration is “ Tau - square Mars - Uranus - Pluto in cardinal signs" - observed in July 2015. Quote:
This position of the planets determines a period of severe changes in global geopolitics and economics, a sharp escalation of local military conflicts, the massive use of aviation and prohibited weapons in military conflicts, and the possible use of weapons of mass destruction in military conflicts and terrorist attacks. .
The entire period is an emergency-dangerous period in complex industries and in aviation, during space launches. Resonant natural disasters and resonant earthquakes are possible.
In 2017, the period of acute changes in the global geopolitical arena will continue; acute critical events are likely in the global economy.
From the perspective of the created method “Cosmology, astrology - as a security system,” critical events are likely:
1. Emergency situations at hazardous industries, nuclear power plants with the danger of contamination of the area with radioactive and toxic substances.
2. Resonant eruption of an active or awakening volcano with large-scale ash emissions and air pollution from volcanic emissions.
Iceland's four main volcanoes are awakening.
There are more than a hundred volcanoes in Iceland. Observing their activity, scientists talk about the impending eruption of the four most powerful ones.
3. There is a high probability of a series of terrorist attacks in crowded places, subway, train stations, aviation.
4. Emergency situations during space launches, equipment failure, probability of explosion at the start, launch.
5. The probability of resonant, destructive natural disasters, atmospheric anomalies, hurricanes, resonant earthquakes in mountainous areas, seismically active regions, densely populated regions.
6. High probability of emergency situations in transport, public transport, high-profile auto accidents.
7.Accidents on energy networks and power plants. Large-scale blackouts in big cities and megalopolises.
On a personal level - check with an astrologer, what areas of your life may be affected by the tau square in cardinal signs in February 2017.
In the article “Tau - square Mars - Uranus - Pluto in cardinal signs in July 2015. Relationship problems. Healing Pluto's problems" - recommendations from Donna Cunningham's book " Healing Pluto Problems».
A tau square in astrology is a configuration of aspects formed by the opposition between two planets and two squares to a third planet. Traditionally, the tau square is considered a tense but very effective configuration in astrology.
Tau square in astrology
The energy of the opposition is realized through the third planet - standing at the top of the tau square. This sets a certain impulse, provokes unpredictable, often crisis situations - like a planet standing at the top of a configuration. In any case, a person has to react to them and solve the problem. The most difficult thing about this configuration is that you cannot get used to the action of the tau square, since its action is sudden.
I would compare a person with a tau square in the natal chart to a frog drowning in milk - remember, from a children's fairy tale? No, not the one who drowned, but the other one - who churned milk into butter and remained alive only thanks to her perseverance.
The nature of the planets in the configuration is also of great importance: favorably located, strong planets soften crises, weak, unfavorable planets strengthen them, bringing severe trials into life.
I offer an example of a description of such a configuration:
Tau square in the natal chart, composed of planets located in the signs of the fixed cross:
- opposition Mercury in Scorpio (ruled by Pluto) and Mars retrograde in Taurus (ruled by Venus, in exile)
- two quadratures: From Mars and Mercury to Jupiter in Aquarius (ruled by Uranus) at the top of the configuration.
At the top of the tau square is Jupiter in Aquarius, ruled by Uranus.
Mercury in Scorpio brings a deep, inquisitive mind, criticality, skepticism, as well as secrecy and suspicion. The owner of such Mercury is not inclined to take anyone’s word for it.
He trusts only verified facts, proven scientific research and his intuition. He has a sharp tongue and is not shy about harsh expressions.
Mars in Taurus is essentially weakened: it is in the sign of its expulsion, and also in retrograde motion. A person prefers to spend energy sparingly and is passive in his actions.
Pressure here replaces stubbornness, and persistence replaces rudeness and unceremoniousness. But such a person is adamant in his decisions and prefers to consistently plan his actions.
However, he almost never has enough enthusiasm to complete what he started, so his words often diverge from his deeds. In addition, a man with retro-Mars in Taurus is not always as confident as he wants to appear.
Jupiter at the apex of the tau square
The energy of planets standing in opposition to each other is concentrated in the planet located at its apex and manifests itself through its properties - this is Jupiter in Aquarius. The tension between planets in opposition operates continuously, serving as a constant stimulus to action in relation to the planet at the top.
Jupiter in Aquarius gives interest in philosophy, occult sciences, astrology and new progressive concepts. In the character of a person with Jupiter at the top of the tau square, one can assume self-confidence, a tendency to overestimate one’s strengths, authoritarianism, hot temper and a tendency to adventure.
Indeed, the tau square in the natal chart generates hard energy and brings crisis situations into life. However, for the person whose chart I am describing, this configuration is very important.
It is significant because it forces the native to act. A native with a tau square in a fixed cross acts slowly but consistently, striving to complete what he starts. Thanks to this configuration, a person methodically achieves his goals.
Do you have any questions about working out the tau square? Write them by email or in the comments to the article. Good luck!
The characteristics of a zodiac sign provide only general information about a person. For a deeper analysis, a personal horoscope (natal chart) is constructed. A horoscope by date of birth and a horoscope from an astrologer can tell a lot more about a person than just a horoscope by zodiac sign. Sometimes connections between planets appear in the form of some figures, patterns. These figures are called aspect configurations. For example, consider the tau-square configuration (Fig. 5). In terms of action, this configuration in the natal chart is equivalent to an enhanced square: there are no tearing counteractions, but there is narrowly directed negative energy. This figure is half a square, that is, there is some incompleteness. There is a need to close this square, to balance it, since all the participating aspects of the horoscope create great tension. Opposition in a horoscope usually gives a need for action, and both outputs, both modes of action, determined by quadratures, are approximately the same, monotonous and inharmonious. Tau square in the character and life of the owner of the horoscope gives impulsiveness and explosiveness. It involves situations that arise unpredictably, without warning. This is how it differs from the large square (cross), the action of which is constant in the horoscope. You can get used to the cross, but the tau square gives crises: acute life situations and trials. The center of the figure, the point at which all the tension of this figure is collected, is considered to be the point that forms two quadratures and from it one can determine the direction of action of the figure in the horoscope. This place is called: Tau Square Stud. This planet of the natal chart (zodiac sign and house where it stands) experiences the greatest load. But even partial elaboration leads to the establishment of a balance between the planets in opposition, and a person acquires a stable direction for work, even if it is not easy. Tau square is perceived by others as obsessive, clumsy assertiveness. A person has high energy in the half of the natal chart occupied by the tau square, so the tau square can give extraordinary success in those areas where strong will and energy are needed, for example, in politics. The energy generated by the tau square is directed to the point opposite the stud. The areas affected by this point in the horoscope will be problematic. A person will strive to somehow compensate for the tension using this point, and will try to throw out energy in the areas affecting this point. Thus, here again the topic of compensation may arise, which is often fruitless. The cardinal tau square in the natal chart gives dynamics, a person instantly takes action, even in a risky, extremely dangerous situation. He is a reliable and strong person, but tends to interfere in other people's affairs. Fixed - gives the owner of such a horoscope a decisive methodical approach. Before starting any business, a person will find out its essence. A mutable tau square in the natal chart pushes a person to work on his indecisiveness, using his ability to get along with people. To understand the meaning of such a configuration in a personal horoscope, it is necessary to carefully examine the zodiac sign and house in which the planet in the “carnation” is located, as well as the point that forms the opposition to the “carnation”. At the moment of passage of a transit planet through this point of the natal chart, a temporary Cross is completed, carrying fateful events. Let's consider cases when the planet in the “carnation” is: the Sun - the tendency to rush into every situation with both soul and heart; Moon - susceptibility to momentary moods; Mercury - cool, rational and restrained reaction; Venus - the desire to benefit from every situation, and if effort is required, it can retreat; Mars - a lot of energy for solving problems, but intemperance can ruin things; Jupiter - a variety of possibilities for responding to a specific situation, but there is a tendency towards adventurism; Saturn - caution, patience and resourcefulness help to cope with problems; Uranus - the desire to do everything in one’s own way, without focusing on other people’s opinions, the tendency to cut “from the shoulder”; Neptune - strong imagination and intuition, but often a distorted vision of the situation; Pluto - the tendency to transform a problem from a personal one into a public one, and a person fights in defense of all humanity, and if there is a misunderstanding, deep disappointment can arise; Chiron - the desire to avoid situations in which incompetence may be revealed.
The event outline of March will be formed by the cardinal tau square Uranus-Pluto-Jupiter, the retrograde of Venus and two stelliums - in Pisces and in Aries. This is a difficult month for business and new projects and relationships. This is a time of unrealistic romantic, financial and social expectations. It is necessary to support and develop what has been started, but not to take on fundamentally new relationships and business projects designed for growth and development.
Venus Retrograde: Past Loves
On March 04, Venus will turn retrograde and will be in retrograde motion until April 15. At this time, the topic of relationships of all types, both personal and business, will be emphasized. Problems that have accumulated in past personal and business relationships, international and financial-economic ones will be reviewed and resolved. There will be a tendency to return to past attachments or people from the past will appear in our lives. This is the time when we can try again what we have failed at before. Venus retrograde brings back to us those whom we once loved or simply felt sympathy for. She proposes to learn from re-evaluating the past experience that is useful for the future, and not to repeat the mistakes of the past when choosing a new direction.
At the same time, the period of Venus retrograde is associated with certain restrictions and features that need to be taken into account. All areas of life that are associated with Venus will be in a period of revaluation, in a state of instability and change. These are business areas related to the beauty industry, fashion, design, art, and show business. What is new on retro-Venus seems necessary and promising, after some time, will reveal miscalculations, flaws and appear in a different light.
Therefore, during the retrograde of Venus, you should not start new projects in the spheres of Venus, as well as relationships from which we expect stability and reliability. This applies primarily to romantic relationships, marriage and engagement, business partnerships, as well as to the signing of long-term cooperation agreements with new partners. This is also an unfavorable period for investments, large purchases, loans, financial investments, for the purchase of art and luxury items.
The energies of Aries and Pisces: explosive and mysterious
An important background for March will be the energies of Aries, since the entire month there will be a stellium in this sign with a short break on March 10-13. These energies are creatively and emotionally stimulating, but unstable and explosive, especially in the first ten days of March until Mars moves into Taurus.
Positively, they can give rise to enthusiasm and creativity in people of an artistic bent. Determination, the desire to fight for one's interests or ideals, can be a motivating force. In business life, circumstances may incline you to take new steps, but with new beginnings you need to be careful. Firstly, new business ventures during the retro-Venus period are undesirable, as they have poor financial returns, and secondly, before March 13 there will be another stellum - in Pisces.
At this time, there will be mystery in the circumstances, behind-the-scenes agreements will influence the course of events, but their cause and intention will be difficult, if not impossible, to find out or calculate. At the beginning of the month, provocations are possible when information leaks cover up sabotage. In business, undertakings and initiatives will get bogged down in circumstances that are difficult to direct and control. This is a difficult time for business life; you shouldn’t count on a breakthrough. This is generally a difficult month for business. This is a time of unrealistic financial and social expectations. It is necessary to support and develop what has been started, but not to take on fundamentally new business projects designed for growth and development.
Tau square Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto: renewal and change
An important event-forming factor in March will be the Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto tau square. In December 2016, Jupiter, in opposition to Uranus, completed the tau square to the decaying Uranus-Pluto square, resuscitating this aspect that everyone remembered in previous years. In March, the Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto tau square will manifest itself in full force. Two aspects of it will become precise: March 03 Jupiter opposition to Uranus, A March 30 - Jupiter square Pluto. March and the first half of April are the times of greatest activity for these energies, but the tau square will be in effect until April 20th.
In the circumstances and problems of the first quarter of 2017, there is a reference to the events of the past two years, there, starting in 2014, their causes, and now new solutions will be needed in the new conditions that the world faces.
In international relations, the Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto tau square causes a turbulent effect. It represents a radical clash of interests at the international level, influencing geopolitical and economic alignments in the world. Against the background of the activity of Aries energies, these energies can provoke conflicts: military, political, diplomatic, legal, financial.
At this time, economic and political circumstances will make changes in business affairs, the work of enterprises, and banks. In business, transformation and reform will be required to be viable. On a personal level, this will primarily affect those who have planets in the 19°-23° cardinal signs in their natal chart: Libra, Aries, Capricorn, Cancer.
In social processes, the Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto tau square requires renewal, change and reform. In society, these are the energies of protest against the established order, which slows down progress, revolutionary actions against the lawlessness of the ruling elites. During this time, people feel the need to have more freedom. In public sentiment, the principles of justice and equality become important, and attempts to limit constitutional rights and freedoms can cause violent protest and various kinds of social protests. For example, in February, on the energy of these aspects, mass protests took place in a number of countries: rallies in Belarus against the “decree on parasitism”, anti-government protests in Romania, demanding the repeal of the decree easing punishment for corrupt officials. In Romania, the scandalous resolution was canceled and the Minister of Justice resigned.
At the same time, if this energy does not find a constructive outlet, it can result in rudeness and rudeness, and an increase in crime. Social protests may be accompanied by fights and clashes with the police. There is a danger of terrorist attacks. In this regard, the most provocative period is the first ten days of March, when there will be a stellium in Aries with the participation of Mars, and Mars will be in conjunction with Uranus and in conflict with Pluto-Jupiter. But there will be two more difficult periods for business, social and international life.
Tau - Mercury/Uranus-Pluto-Jupiter square: the language of ultimatums and shocking news
The period of March 21-29 also promises to be difficult. At this time, a tau square will form: Mercury/Uranus-Pluto-Jupiter. High-profile informational reasons for public discussions and disputes may arise. Mercury square Pluto speaks the language of ultimatums, and in conjunction with Uranus delivers shocking news. Unflattering facts about those in power may be made public, and scandals related to the actions of politicians are possible. This is the time of a new wave of active propaganda in the media. Therefore, respect your internal ecology and do not allow ideological cliches to influence your understanding of life and circumstances. Look for alternative sources of information.
This is the time when previous agreements, treaties, and diplomatic relations between some countries may be broken. This is a time of probable terrorist attacks, high-profile crimes, and a high probability of disasters. On March 12, the Full Moon at 22°13′ Virgo will be tau square to Saturn. The March full moon is complex both in terms of aspects and cycle - it is associated with the solar eclipse on February 26. The days around this full moon are a period of aggravation of contradictions; it will reveal the illegal and irresponsible undertakings of February and early March. The situations of these days will call for accountability for forgery, deception, and dishonesty. This time may reveal problems in government, conflicts with authorities, and the law. Resignations from posts and dismissals are likely.
On March 12, the full moon at 22°13′ Virgo is associated with the solar eclipse on February 26. This is a period of intensified contradictions; it will reveal the illegal and irresponsible undertakings of February and early March.
Trine Saturn and Uranus: reconciling contradictions
But in March there is still a significant factor that makes it possible to direct the resolution of contradictions in a constructive direction - this is the trine of Saturn and Uranus and its sextile with Jupiter. Saturn in these aspects has a stabilizing effect; it promotes the organization and coordination of constructive ideas and forces, helping to reconcile contradictions and find an acceptable solution.
This is a good time in the field of computer science, software development, IT business, scientific and technical fields, astrophysics, astrology, astronomy. Saturn's trine to Uranus, opening the Uranus-Jupiter opposition, has already brought an important discovery: on February 22, “NASA specialists spoke about the discovery of seven planets outside the solar system around the star TRAPPIST-1 in the constellation Aquarius. Three of them are believed by scientists to be potentially habitable: they contain water and have a thick atmosphere.”
The Saturn trine to Uranus supports controlled renewal, allowing you to reap the benefits of transformation, although it will take time. He brings changes based on a proven strategy. This is an opportunity to make changes without breaking traditions, to achieve progress without undermining foundations, but the situations of this period require patience and flexibility. But Saturn is also common sense and its participation in March aspects gives hope that the militant Aries fuse will receive a sufficient dose of “checks and balances”.
And now more about the aspects and periods of March
March 01-05
At the beginning of March, the Sun and Mercury will connect with Neptune, pedaling the theme of Pisces, Mars will be in conjunction with Uranus in Aries, and Venus will turn to retrograde motion. The strong influence of Neptune on consciousness and thinking interferes with a realistic perception of circumstances and facts; Venus will have mixed feelings, making it difficult to accurately assess relationships, and the energy of Mars can push for sudden decisions and unprepared actions. Therefore, the risk of miscalculations and wrong steps is very high.
In business life there will be a tendency towards idealism or overconfidence. New plans and prospects that appear during this period will be unrealistic or ill-prepared. At this time, you should not rush forward, pushing initiatives, but it’s time to analyze the results of the past period in business, relationships, understand what works and what has failed and requires revision, what to bet on and what to abandon. This is a period of secret affairs, secret meetings. But it favors existing relationships and affairs, and is not suitable for starting new secret plans - everything will go wrong, with the wrong people and in the wrong direction. Be careful.
