• Reliability • 1 Mercury turns retrograde Friday night at 11:46p PT / Saturday at 2:46a ET. It turns direct on April 7. 1 A lot of fun? Not really, but it can be if one knows about it and laughs at it. Out-of-Pattern things happen in small (wrong underwear, spilled coffee) or large (important call missed) matters. Or, a Mercury Retrograde motto could be, Nothing matters. But of course that is not true. The mind befuddles itself. What is true? becomes almost a moot question as one looks at the propaganda and misinformation spouted by media left and right, likely even worse than usual. 2 Taxes? It's an okay time for re-viewing one's finances for the In-ternal Re-venue Service. However, if things get too Out-of-Pattern one might postpone until the final week of April 7-15. Major aspects for the week: 3 Jupiter square Saturn: Ethics demand attention. You do not want to be a fool in your own eyes. Your soul wants to live up to its ideals. That requires often doing what you don't feel like doing. 4 Mercury conjoined to Venus, both retrograde: Leanings to the artistic and beautiful. Innate discrimination. An intellectual circle. Charm, wit and gayety. A persuasive manner. Both planets in Aries: heads and faces are impressive. Attraction to old, retro books or films. 5 Sun conjunct Neptune: If spiritual energies are withdrawn from the body to higher worlds, there can be fatigue or ennui. Possible misuse of alcohol or drugs. There is a yearning to be worthy of the Most High or to be a member of the Esoteric Lodge. Or there may be fulfillment through fine arts, drama, music or poetry. 6 Mars trine Saturn: One can make plans far in advance and be the builder of one's fate. Boldness blends with reticence, and aggressiveness with tact. What you have decided to do you can continue to keep doing until you succeed. Judgment is good and there is progressive self-reliance or, with paragraphs 3 and 5, God-reliance. • Week of March 15-22 • Reliability • Cosmic Piper Saturday 15: Moon in Libra Sunday 16: Moon in Libra, going void-of-course at 2:54p PT3:
