Welcome to the Rochelle Christian Podcast. I'm Rochelle, your host. I'm here to help you come back to your body, take charge of your emotions, and live life on your terms. This podcast is a space for raw, real conversations about what it means to trust yourself, lean into your power, and create a life that feels aligned and alive. We'll explore human design, astrology, and other tools to help you understand your unique energy. More importantly though, we're gonna talk about what it means to actually live and embody these aspects. So each week I'm gonna share stories, lessons, guidance to help you navigate life's challenges and really own your magic. So if you're ready to step up, take control, and show up as the most authentic version of you, let's begin. Welcome back to another episode on the podcast. This week we are doing our March 2026 astrology and human design update. And I completely forgot that this week uh was already March. It was already the uh coming to a close of February, and there's so much to talk about. So we're literally gonna dive right into it because as we're closing out this week, we have Mercury retrograde stationing Mercury stationing retrograde the day this episode comes out, so on the 26th of February, Mercury is stationing retrograde. I've been talking about this all over the place. This is gonna be really big energy, not only because it's Mercury retrograde, we're also in the middle of this eclipse portal, which our first lunation uh in March, March 3rd is gonna be our full moon in Virgo, but it's really amplifying and intensifying things. And so with Mercury stationing retrograde, Mercury is the mind. Mercury is communication, Mercury is what we're focusing on, what we're thinking about. Mercury was the messenger of the gods, and Mercury isn't necessarily emotional because Mercury is the mind. Pisces, on the other hand, is emotions, is sensitivities, is psychic, intuition, dreamland, it's addiction, it's mental health, it's all these things. And emotions are physical sensations in the body. Feelings are the mental narratives we attach to our emotions. So with Mercury retrograding through Pisces, a lot of feelings will be coming up, a lot of emotional patterns, a lot of things from childhood. So this is a really beautiful time to do the work. Mercury is what is known as the psychopomp, which means that Mercury can be a guide through the underworld. And so, again, as we're navigating Mercury retrograde, this is a really good time to use Mercury as a guide through your subconscious, through your shadows that are going to be coming up, especially around March 3rd with the full moon, because it is a total lunar eclipse, which means the moon is conjunct with the south node, and the south node is things that we're collectively moving away from. It's what we're really good at, but it is more shadowy in this phase, in this cycle of life, this season of life collectively, because we want to be moving more towards Pisces energy. So, with that being said, if you want to join us inside Astro Design Collective, which is my membership, my monthly membership space, we are going to be journeying with Mercury through this retrograde phase. There will be daily journal prompts, reflections, because this is a time to slow down, to reflect, to revise, to revisit, to review, to reassess, to relax. And so we're really going to be working with Mercury during this season. We'll also have one call, sort of like a QA call, connection call during that time. And yeah, Mercury stations direct March 20th, which is also the sprink equinox, which is really potent and powerful. And so, yeah, there's so much uh with that going on. And that's again, stationing retrograde Thursday, February 26th, as this comes out. So, again, if you want to join us inside Astro Design Collective, just click the link in the show notes and join us over there. It's gonna be really potent and really powerful because right now, especially with this eclipse season, a lot of shadows might be coming up. A lot is going to be amplified, and we are wanting to move away from the mind and moving into this surrender, right? And so, again, with Mercury retrograding through Pisces and as it does through water signs in general, and it's going to be retrograding through water signs for the entire year, we're really looking at our conditioned beliefs, our subconscious programming from that zero to seven year age range. And so we know that the way to rewire our mind is to work with our subconscious to create awareness around our subconscious. Well, sometimes awareness is, I mean, it is key. It's not sometimes it is always key, but that's just the awareness in itself sometimes is the thing that will help rewire that patterning, but really working with the mind because you truly have the potential and the ability to control your thoughts and the words that you're speaking. This is the magic of Mercury, right? This is the magic in manifestation. The Kabalian says, the the uh, oh my gosh, I always butcher this quote literally every single time I go to say it. It's and it's so simple. The all is mind, the universe is mental. I don't know why that's so challenging. The all is mind, the universe is mental. And so we are always manifesting from our subconscious beliefs, and also we're creating a reality based on what we're thinking and what we're saying, what we're putting out into the universe. So if you can do nothing else, if you're having a really intense emotional experience and you're finding yourself ruminating on your past thoughts, the best thing that you can do is be so aware of what you're saying. When you're going around dramatizing through your words the thing that's happening, or like talking to everyone about it, you're making that thing bigger. But if we can control the words that are coming out of our mouth, we have so much more power and the ability to change what we're thinking and change our reality through our perception because what we perceive is everything, right? It's like everything is fake and also everything is so real because that's what you're experiencing. That's your perspective. So anyway, join us inside that container. Uh, link is down below. Let's get into March. I have so much written down for March. There's so much going on. We start off the month, uh, March 2nd. Mars moves into Pisces. Now, Mars is not comfortable in Pisces. It doesn't really like to be in Pisces, right? Mars rules Scorpio and Mars rules Aries. So Pisces is the sign right next to Aries. So whenever we have those kind of like signs, there's always like a storyline, but they're very different energetically. And so Mars might be a little bit muted in Pisces. It might appear to be, um, I don't want to say calm, but it might appear to be really soft. But inside it might be like buzzy or chaotic or like wanting to move, but it's just like doesn't necessarily have the energy to move. Now, again, with astrology, there is no good or bad astrology. It's simply lessons. So just like noticing what's happening, you might be feeling more energized in this area of your chart, but maybe not quite having the vision or the steps or the motivation to like actually make the moves that Mars wants to do. So when we think about with astrology, right, the planet is the actor and the sign is the costume. So we think about Mars, which is like, you know, the warrior, uh, it's action, it's assertion, it's like this 300-foot brute dressed up like Pisces. So Mars is in there, but it might not, it can't necessarily express itself fully in the way that it wants to when it's sitting in Pisces. You might feel a little bit more indecisive, um, just those kinds of things when it comes to Pisces. Now, March 3rd. We're starting off the month, pretty intense. Our full moon total lunar eclipse is happening at 12 degrees of Virgo. And this is happening in gate 64, which is the gate of confusion. It's found in the head center. And this is all happening at 5:37 a.m. Central Standard Time. Now, Virgo is a mutable Earth sign. It rules the gut, it rules your health, it rules your routines, it rules the sixth house, and it's ruled by Mercury. So this is about Mercury in Virgo is more analytical than Mercury and Gemini, where Mercury and Gemini, Gemini is really curious. It's fact-finding, it's all those kinds of things. With this uh full moon, it's gonna be opposite the sun, uh opposite the north node because it's conjunct the south node, and it's opposite its ruler Mercury. So this is sort of creating also a little triangle between Mercury and Jupiter because the moon is sextile to Jupiter, and Mercury, its ruler, is trying to Jupiter, and the moon is opposite Mercury. Um, it is widely opposite Mercury, but it still is. I think it's eight degrees off. Um, so that's uh pretty an important part of it. Now, Mercury being the gut, Mercury being about your health. This is a really important time to remember the mind-gut connection, right? Body, mind, spirit, they're all interconnected. So really focusing on this, conjunct the south node. Something that's really been coming up for me recently too is this idea of hydrating, which it's not an idea of hydrating, but I was like falling asleep the other night and I was feeling a little bit off, and it just like like dropped in. It was like, you need to drink more water. And I drink a lot of water, like I feel like I drink a lot of water. Um, and but it was like you need to drink more water. So now every time I remember that, I'm like just like chugging a little bit of water. So make sure you're staying hydrated because again, when we have a moon conjunct, the nodes, this is a south node. Our south node is where we're really comfortable. It's what we're good at. It's where we've been in the past, right? We want to be moving towards the north node. So these themes of the south node, we're really good at the mind stuff. We're really good at analyzing, we're really good at the details, we're really good at overthinking things, right? We're really good at the logical mental mind stuff. But what this north node is asking us is to land more in flow and land more in surrender. It's kind of like that. One of my journaling prompts is like every time I finish journaling in the morning, I'm like, this or something better. Because I can't control what the universe has in store for me. And when I try to control it with my logical mind, then it's like I'm blocking the gifts that the universe has for me. So it's like this or something better. So we want to keep ourselves open to that. Now, when we're not rooted in the body, though, right? Like we need this dynamic between the spiritual and the body, but when we're not rooted in the body, it's really hard to flow. There's a word I'm looking for. It's really hard to fill up our space or take up our space or just like be fully in the experience, right? So we want to be, we can't, we don't want to be so in Pisces that we're just like ungrounded and we're like completely in that because Pisces has those escape escapist tendencies, mental health addiction, all those things. We don't want to be so in Pisces that we're losing ourselves in those. We do want to be rooted in the body. We want to be aware of the body, right? Like, I think about like mental, or sorry, I think about addiction. So my journey with alcohol has been a long one. It's been uh an intense one, I guess. I genuinely like to drink. I like, I have Jupiter and Pisces. So sometimes I like to check out in the sense of like, yeah, I just want to feel good and be floating off in my own land and like whatever, not have to deal with any of the things. However, being so rooted in Virgo, um, I have no Virgo in my chart, but I'm just that dynamic, right? Being rooted in the body where I can feel that it doesn't actually feel good to be in that space all the time. If we didn't have a sense of the body, we would just be lost in addiction. We would be lost in the mental health aspect of Pisces, we'll be lost in the escapist tendencies and the constant scroll. So it really requires us to continually check in with our body to see if this actually feels good for us or not. So of course there's a dynamic, there's a polarity within the two of them, and it really requires us to be rooted in our body to be like fully doing the work holistically. So that's a really important piece. My dog is staring at me, so I might have to go let her out in a minute. She's just decided to wake up. Okay, so remembering to hydrate during this time. Um, and then we have our Sabian symbols, and I'm gonna read them because I am kind of obsessed with these. So it's um uh okay, so there's two of them that I'm gonna read. One is from Dane Bruggiar and one is um Inside Degrees. And so, okay, the Sabian symbol for this full moon. The first one is from Inside Degrees, a man with hair on his back, peppery, fiery, contentious, and spoiling for a fight. Born ready, shot from a cannon, one of a kind, volatile in the far extreme, convinced of things, taking sides, even inventing them. You are impelled by the polarized consciousness to be so fiercely partisan that the destructive overwhelms the constructive, incited to riot by what is wrong with the world, not reconciled, not accepting, not at peace, self-righteous and headstrong, imperfect moments, ebulent, ebulent, never heard of that word, ebulent and magnificent and the most charming a being can be. Much of the time you are feuding and bickering and blindly consumed by the lower mind, keenly good at self-deception, the world's best at blind self-fidelity fidelity, the perfect promoter of the unpopular cause, but you feel tormented by the way in which all this perpetuates itself and cannot find freedom. You search for a way through, hungry for self-overcoming and needing so badly to emerge from the thicket of the mind to be affirmative of existence with no doubts making the world intolerable, to sit in one more moment. Okay, so a lot about the mind in that one. Um, and then the one from Dane Rudyard Dane Rudyar says a powerful statesman overcomes a state of political hysteria. The focusing of the collective need for order and structural interdependence into a personage who incarnates the answer to this need. The husband role of fecundit Whoa, I can't pronounce the road uh word, fecunditor, fecunditor, okay, I don't know what that means, um, of nature, here takes on a collective social significance. We are at the stage where a powerful realization of the very purpose of the cycle of existence faces the chaotic remains of a destructured past. The character of the leader is always delineated by the need, subconscious though it may be, of the unformed agglomeration of entities he is called upon by destiny to lead. In time, the leader will be worshipped as the divine father of the society he structured. At this third stage of the 33rd sequence, we see a new type of characterization of the many faceted polarization of positive and negative. We have before us a person personage endowed with charisma, this elusive and mysterious power that comes from a man's or woman's openness to the power of planetary evolution. Okay, so a couple words I couldn't pronounce in there. Apologies for that. But these both are very potent. Um, and what's interesting is especially during eclipses, we see a lot um, a lot of things happening with people in the public eye. Uh, I don't necessarily, oh no, I don't follow the news, but I do follow astrology. And the astrology podcast really talks about um public or current events like world events, and so that's really fascinating to see how that aligns up. And I know there's a lot going on um with people in public, public figures right now, um specifically around the uh eclipses. So this is also happening in gate uh 64, which is the gate of confusion. This is found in the mind. The point before clarity, right? So there's so much information going on, and this makes me think about the analogy of like when you're if you're sitting on the side of a highway, you're not gonna jump in front of a car just to get across the street, right? You're just gonna let the cars go. And it's kind of the same with our thoughts. We have so many thoughts going through our mind. We can't like latch onto every single one. And so the point, the purpose of this is like the mind is really beautiful and the mind is for other people, right? In human design, we talk about outer authority, which means that the mind and its processing in the way that it works isn't for us to make a decision. It's for other people to collect information for their purposes, right? The mind is really good at at filing things, it's really good at organizing things, but it's not the best at like, this is not a place we want to make decisions from. And so trying to make sense of like this constant flow of information that comes through, it just like it can create confusion because it's like there's just so much information coming. So we want to like come to this place of clarity. We want to wait until something makes sense, right, to share it. And so again, this is a pressure center. So there'll be pressure to share, there'll be pressure to organize, there'll be pressure to make sense of things. But again, like allowing things to flow until you gain that clarity and then you can share. The shadow here is confusion. Um, the gift is imagination, right? So here's the thing where we have this like Pisces Virgo dynamic, right? Um, I wrote down, don't let information or details stifle stifle your creativity. This is very like Pisces Virgo. So we have these details, we have this information, we have the structure, but then we have Pisces, which is super dreamy and we want to be creative and we want to flow in it. So it's like, can we have this information and also allow ourselves to flow? Um and that's where that gift of imagination comes in, where we can use this and use our imagination. Um, and then uh the the dilemma. So every every gene key has a dilemma. The dilemma here is inconsistency. And so, again, allow the mind to do what the mind does. Don't try and control it, right? And just like allow, don't believe everything that comes through, just like allow it to be. So, again, this with this being conjunct, the South Node, which is Virgo, we're moving away from this energy. So, what's coming up, what's lingering? Um, again, we're so good at the mind stuff. And so we want to be moving away from that. So surrender, make sure you're journaling. Um, and again, like I said, I always like to journal at the end of it. So it's like this or something better. Okay, so that was happening on the second. Um, we have a lot of conjunctions happening this month. Um, between because the sun is moving into to uh, well, it's gonna be moving into Virgo, but everything, or sorry, it's going to be moving into Aries, but everything moving into Pisces. Um, yeah, sorry, everything moving into Aries. I confused myself for a second. Everything moving into Aries is going to be conjunct, the Saturn and Neptune conjunction that we're currently happening. So we're gonna be seeing a lot of that activation this month. But the fifth, we have the Sun, trying Jupiter. Now, Jupiter is currently sitting at 15 degrees of cancer. This is the gate of provocation. And this is also where cancer loves or where Jupiter loves to be. This is Jupiter's favorite degree of cancer. And so this is really expanding us, and we're gonna get into it. Well, we'll just get into it now. So gate 39 is the gate of provocation. The point and the purpose of gate 39 is to provoke others to see something about themselves. If you have gate 39 prominent in your chart, I know so many people with gate 39. I have gate 55, which is its opposite, but gate 39 is here to provoke gate 55 into the emotional experience so we can become more aware of spirit consciousness. If you have gate 39 prominent in your chart, this is what I always tell my son. He's got it in his in his conscious son. Where I'm like, not everybody's going to like you. It requires you to have a little bit of thick skin. It requires you, this is cancer, right? So it that is that hard protective shell. It requires you a little bit to activate that because you're going to provoke people. It's just what you do naturally. And so this Jupiter being at this gate, we're expanding on the energy. But again, the sun in Pisces, trying Jupiter and Cancer, this is their supportive aspect. This is water on water, and this is our dream world. This is really intuitive, this is really spiritual. And again, that gate 39 is here to provoke the spirit, to see something about ourselves. And so this is really supportive in awakening our spirit consciousness. So really just leaning into that. So maybe on the fifth, you do some sort of meditation, just do a little bit of extra journaling, something that will bring you into that surrender, that flow, um, and utilize this energy. On the sixth, Venus moves into Aries. Venus rules Libra and Venus rules Taurus. Venus, again, kind of like Mars in Pisces, Venus cannot fully express in the way that she wants to in Aries. Think about uh Ven Aphrodite. I always think of that sculpture, right? I think the one with like no arms, but it's super, it's Aphrodite, right? It's very feminine, it's very flowy. Imagine that type of energy wrapped up in the energy of Aries, right? Where it's like Venus loses a little bit of her softness in Aries because it's really assertive, it's really aggressive, it's really quick, it's reactionary. And so Venus being the planet of love, this is turned more into self-love, right? And so we have to be careful with Venus and Aries about this being overly self-love and like not caring about others in this sense. It can appear very selfish. But at the end of the day, it's Venus. It is about love, it is about values, it is about morals, it is about beauty and aesthetic and things like that. But then when it's wrapped up in this Aries energy, it just can't fully express in its like divinely feminine, beautiful way as it does in Aries, um, or as it does in like Taurus or Libra. So it's going to be a little bit muted in that way when she finds herself in Aries. It's brutish, bullish, quick, impulsive, right? And so we just want to, again, we're also in Mercury retrograde, so just remember to slow down and to like feel into our Venusian uh feminine energy. Like, let's not forget that part of Venus. On the 7th, um Um, we have Mercury. Uh we have our Kazimi. So whenever we have a Mercury retrograde cycle, it'll be in a Kazimi, which means it's conjunct the sun in the heart of the sun. So March 7th, we might get a little bit more clarity about whatever it is that we've been moving through. This is a point in the retrograde cycle where we are allowed to gain some clarity. So if there's a decision you have to make, like that you can't wait, which of your emotional authority and you have to make a decision, you feel the pressure to make a decision, usually it's not the right decision. But again, life, business, contracts, all those things. Um, if there's a decision that you have to make, like maybe you'll get clarity around what that is around this time. So that's March 7th. Also on March 7th, Venus and Aries is going to be conjunct uh Neptune. And then on the 8th, it's going to be conjunct Saturn. This is really just, you know, we have this Saturn-Neptune conjunction that was direct on, oh my gosh, the 20th, I think. Uh yeah, the 20th of um, yeah, 20th of uh February. And so this is again just sort of like reality distortion. This is a little bit of confusion, delusion, all these kinds of things. Um, and Saturn is really wanting structures and systems and things to make sense. So Venus here, um, Venus and Aries again, Venus isn't super comfortable in Aries, neither is Saturn. So we're kind of in this little, both of these planets are not fully able to express themselves here. Um, but in this can in this conjunction, I always love Venus and Neptune together. I mean, Neptune is the higher octave of Venus, and so when these two come together, it is a really beautiful energy. And so that can be really supportive. Um, but again, conjunctions are like new, like we're beginning new cycles of something. So just like noticing what's happening when Venus is conjunct these two planets. And I'm sure I will have so much more to say about it, you know, as we get closer to the date. So definitely make sure to follow me on Instagram for all things um astrology. And then on the 10th, we have so Jupiter stations direct in Cancer in gate 39, which we just talked about, this gate of provocation, right? It's here to provoke us, um, the emotional experience, spirit consciousness. We got into all that. Venus in Aries is also going to be sextile to Pluto in Aquarius. Um, sextiles are supportive, uh, but Pluto and Venus together are kind of like really intense, obsessive, passionate love, right? Um, and with Venus not fully being able to express herself here, this again could turn more selfish, could be more of like the darker side of Venus, and she's already kind of muted a little bit in Aries. So just like being aware of what happens in in that area of your life. Um, on the 13th, we have Mars' conjunct, the North Node in Pisces. And so just like wanting to move and taking more action on moving forward in that direction, um, wherever it is in your chart. It's also going to be conjunct Mercury. Um, so this is could be some frustrations of our mind. Um, whatever's coming up with this Mercury retrograde in Pisces, Mars is going to amplify it. Mars is going to maybe make it a little bit more frustrating, maybe make us want to like kind of just have more of like a wanting to do something with it. Um, so just being aware of that because Mercury is still in retrograde, so we don't want to like move too quickly, but Mars here might be wanting us to move a little bit more than we would otherwise. And then we have the 17th um Mercury's conjunct the north node. So again, the Mercury retrograde, but just like really noticing where our thoughts are, what we're feeling, what's coming up, how we can surrender more, how it can be more in flow, what's coming up even around your mental health, right? Because all of these patterns, emotional patterns will be coming up. And a lot of that can be related to mental health, can be related to subconscious patterns, beliefs, self-sabotage, like all of these themes. It can be really challenging. So just really lean into your practices. Um, that's really important during this time. And then on the 18th, we have our new moon in Pisces, which is happening at 28 degrees of Pisces at 8:23 p.m. Central Standard Time. Um, we also have Venus is square to Jupiter, um, and the sun is sextile to Uranus. And so the new moon is when the sun and the moon are conjunct. Um, this is happening in gate 25, the love of the spirit of the self. And this is an out-of-sign conjunction to Saturn and Neptune, because Saturn and Neptune are in Aries, and the new moon is at the final degrees of Pisces, but it is in a conjunction. So Pisces, again, immutable water sign, it rules the feet, rules mental health, addiction. Um, and again, it's opposite to Virgo. So this is really about health as well. So new moons, again, these are times to manifest. The last new moon was an eclipse, so we didn't fully weren't fully able to um lean into that sort of energy, but now we are kind of feeling a little bit more free to like move into that energy. We officially left the um eclipse energy. Hold on, we might no, we're we're officially out of it. Not long ago, uh, a few days ago, I think, from this, because when I think for about a week after the lunar eclipse, we're still in eclipse energy, but now we are we should we are out of it. Okay, so we're able to like move forward a little bit in this, in this, in this theme, in this energy, in this time. So, what is the seed we're planting? Right? Mercury is still in retrograde, uh, so just like noticing that, but what is the seed we are planting? What's been coming up in with Mercury in retrograde, right? Like what's been coming up for us? What do we want to move on? Where do we need to surrender? Where where do we need to dream bigger? What dreams do we want to bring into reality? Because again, with this conjunct Saturn, Saturn, Saturn is no longer in Pisces, but conjunct the moon in Pisces, this is like bringing our dreams into reality. So what do we want to materialize? What do we want to manifest? Um, that's gonna be really important here. It's also again sextile Uranus because this is at this this excuse me. This moon is in this playing into this little mini triangle that we have going on between um Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. So we're kind of like in that mix right now. So those things won't be coming up really strongly. This is also in gate 25. Again, the the spirit of the self. The shadow here is constriction. So where are we feeling like constricted in that area? The gift is acceptance. Um, the highest expression is universal love, and the dilemma is anxiety, which makes very much sense in Pisces. But this is also again, Neptune is going to be in gate 25 for all of 2026. Saturn actually moves out of gate 25 today, actually on the on the 18th, so the day of the new moon. Um, and it's moving into the gate of opinions, right? Like sharing your opinions when people ask for it, when it aligns with your strategy and authority, which is so important to all of this, and just like life in general, understanding your strategy and authority. Um, and yeah, like that's kind of like the major theme of this. Again, new moon, Pisces. Pisces is just again super spiritual, super intuitive, dreamland, really noticing what your dreams are looking like. And especially like with Mercury having retrograded here, your dream world might have been vivid. Um, mine usually are, so I love that. But um, really just noticing your dreams and what's coming up with that. Uh, let's see, on so the 20th. Okay, we have a big day on the 20th. Mercury station's direct on the 20th, officially. So we're kind of like moving this. We're we'll still be in the retro shade period. Um, until April. Let me check what day it is. Until April 9th. We'll still be in the retro shade period, but it is officially out of retrograde. Um, and so just like this is a time now to just review what came up, what happened, what did you move through, what themes came up, what childhood like patterns, what subconscious limiting beliefs, all that kind of stuff that came up and what were you able to move through, or what are you really gonna lean into now and move through now? So this is also the sun moves into Aries, this is the spring equinox. Astrodesign school officially begins this day as well. So if you want to join us for a year-long container to really like again move through all of these together, um the link is gonna be in the show notes. But again, we're starting to move. We're starting to get a lot of traction. A lot of astrologers talking about this equinox as this time to really move. And we've started feeling that with the year of the fire horse. I know I felt a lot of movement, but really when we move into the spring equinox, which is the astrological new year, we're really gonna feel a lot of forward movement. Um, Mercury stations direct uh this day as well at in gate 37 and Pisces is the gate of friendship. This is in the solar plexus. This is all about the tribe, the community. This rules the mouth. So this is about feeding each other, nourishing each other in that way. Also, any tribal gate is sort of like tit for not tit for dat, but it's like I'll give this, you give this. Like I'll bring, I need the reason, like I'll cook for you, you give me the resources. It's this sort of barter system a little bit. Um, and so feeding through, connecting through food, it's very much about touch as well. Tribal gates are about touch. Uh, so just kind of kind of like leaning into that if that feels good. And then on, so that was the 20th. On the 22nd, we have um the sun is conjunct Neptune, and then on the 25th, it's gonna be conjunct Saturn. So really just shining a light on these themes that have been coming up with Neptune and Aries and Saturn and Aries. Um, and then on the 23rd, we have Mercury now stationing direct, again hitting that the north node again. So it hit the north node on the 17th of March when it was in retrograde. So just noticing we might have more clarity now with it being direct as it's touching the north node again and moving forward again. And then finally, at the end of the month, March 30th, Venus moves into Taurus, where it loves to be. Venus is the ruler of Taurus. Um, again, Taurus is about material, resources, uh, the body, self-worth, and Venus is love, values, um, aesthetics, beauty. Venus in Taurus is more like I think that wild woman archetype archetype, more sensual, sort of more raw, feminine type of energy versus Venus ruling Libra. It's a little more refined, a little bit more together. It's more about like art and aesthetics and things like that. Um, but again, Venus loves to be in Taurus, so this is always just like a really kind of happy time or or supportive time, we'll say, for Venus moving through Taurus. So that is the transits of the month. Um it's kind of a kind of a packed month, uh, but we again will be moving out of this eclipse portal, eclipse window, eclipse season. Mercury is retrograde, so join us inside Astros Line Collective as we move and journey through this together to really rewire um our subconscious to create awareness and to move through those things because that I think is so, so important. So yeah, that's all I have for you for March again. It's a big month. Follow me on Instagram, TikTok, Substack, where I'm gonna be writing about more, talking about more.
