 Message for Week of March 29 - April 5, 2025

° Gradual Recovery ° 1 Some of the good news is Mars forming a trine with Saturn, Venus, Mercury and Neptune. Because Venus is now retrograde, turning direct April 12, the trine between them lasts till mid-June. We can look forward to a merry month of May, except that, 2 Meanwhile, from March 22 to May 14, slow-moving Venus sticks close to Saturn, planet of sorrow or difficult karma. Example: A memorial ceremony for a dear relative is coming up. There will be grief, mourning, and tears. But the trine with Mars will also promote happy memories and meetings with friends and relatives in harmony. 3 And so in everyday life this week you'll find yourself both celebrating the presence of loved ones and fretting over their problems. A complex emotional nature makes for discontent. You may feel you have been cold or unsympathetic, or that others have been cold or unsympathetic to you. Is suffering the lot of those who love? Does a suspicious attitude toward some cause them to doubt and disappoint you? Yet at best there can be real loyalty to the most important people or groups in your life. You can pass the test of selfless love. 4 Financial and business matters drag on, back and forth in uncertainty while both Mercury and Venus remain retrograde. Some may find taxes easier to calculate in the final week before the deadline, for Mercury turns direct April 7. 5 A lot of trines and sextiles between the inner and outer planets, plus the Sun sextile Jupiter, grant general good fortune. Business goes well even if Mercury retrograde makes it slow. There are energy, magnanimity, and good spirits. That helps soothe the problems of paragraph 3. ° Week of March 29--April 5 ° Gradual Recovery ° Cosmic Piper Saturday 29: Moon in Aries Karmically sobering third of this week ends around 7a PT / 10a ET Sunday 30: Moon in Aries goes void-of-course at 2:19a PT until entering Taurus at 1;17p PT/ 4:17p ET
