This one is a doozy!

Your Weekly Forecast by Sign: March 9th — 15th

(Sherene’s Take)

Aries:

This could easily go down as one of the most intense, incendiary and explosive weeks of the year, Aries. The battle stars have your name written all over them, so take heed. You will feel summoned to stand and up and fight but just be sure the summons is coming from a noble cause rather than ego trigger. Expect to get set off on an hourly basis. Anger management and impulse control are your best weapons. Patience is your least salient virtue, but this week brings your feelings of urgency to mind-blowing new levels. This is the final week before next Monday’s seventh and final breakthrough or breakdown Uranus-Pluto square.

Taurus:

You’ve always fancied yourself as a sweet, gentle and patient soul and yet these days you’re starting to wonder if you need to join a fight club. Every angry, impatient and irrational impulse is at the ready and it takes so very little to set you off. Yes, this does seem to go against your very steadfast and grounded nature, almost as if your soul is being invaded by a bunch of angry teenage rebels. Use the force so it doesn’t burn you up, Taurus. There are creative and constructive ways to channel this fiery energy. You can finally get so much off your chest.

Gemini:

The planets have a way of pushing every fear and anxiety button you never even knew you had, Gemini. If ever there was a weak to practice of the art of counting to twenty before responding or reacting, it’s this one. There is such a volatile combination of planetary energies in the mix that are both stimulating but also so easy to incite others to violence. If your friends seem insanely belligerent, adolescent and in your face this week, you may have no choice but to play adult. Patience is in short supply and situations can escalate like wildfire now.

Cancer:

This is a week where feelings feel like forest fires. It’s a crash and burn vibe all around, and you are not the only one feeling so triggered that you want to jump out of your super-sensitive skin. You loathe confrontations and yet life has a way of throwing the most annoying people and situations in your face now. Consider this your final exam in terms of mastering the art of not taking anything personally. Trust that many are not acting from their adult selves this week. The best way to work the strong catalyzing force is to pour the aggression into your career or higher goals.

Leo:

It doesn’t really get any more fiery than this, Leo. Many are calling this a nuclear power kind of week as the current planetary war reaches explosive new levels. Channel this potent and volatile energy with the utmost care and creativity. The best way not to get pulled into the crossfires is to keep an open mind and patient heart. If you feel your pride getting stabbed at, one-up your adversary and just remove yourself from the situation so they fall flat on their face with no one left to fight with but their own demons. This is definitely a “rise above it” week. Don’t forget you’re royalty.

Virgo:

You’re known for your proficiency in worrying yourself sick over things, but this week week’s planetary war takes anxiety to epic new levels. There is a creative pulse behind the current frustrations and tension in the atmosphere. If anyone can harness the magical side of what feels like sheer stress and hazard, it’s you. Others will likely be going off the rails and trying to provoke arguments over anything and everything. Work that inner zen mastery that you totally forgot you possessed. You’re weirdly calm under high stress situations and have a way of helping others to ride the waves of insanity.

Libra:

Relationships continue to test, incite and work your very last nerve this week, Libra. You’re starting to accept that balance is a random and rare fluke these days. You’re not alone. The current planetary stress of the final and seventh Uranus-Pluto square is escalating interpersonal dynamics and pushing everyone’s most maniacal buttons. Remind yourself that most people are acting more like sullen teenagers than rational grown-ups now. You too may feel more triggered to respond from an adolescent part of your soul even against your most graceful instincts. It’s quite primal, if not barbaric out there at the moment, dear.

Scorpio:

It’s a good thing you adore intensity, Scorpio because this week is off the charts in terms of planetary drama. Your physical body is taking the brunt of the current incendiary insanity, so be sure to amp up on extra rest and nutrients to see you through. Choose as many stress reducers and health tonics as possible to keep your immunity up. Daily life takes on legendary levels of urgency and crisis-response scenarios. Your strength is needed by many and you could surprise yourself with how fortified your inner fearless warrior is when others are in need of your matchless ability to protect and comfort.

Sagittarius:

There are times in life when you feel you are being tested, but consider this week one of your life’s most significant audits, Sadge. Saturn, the cosmic taskmaster is about to go retrograde in your sign for the first time since he entered Sagittarius late last year. Your innate tendency is to rail against anything that feels limiting, confining or constraining and yet that’s exactly what your soul and sanity most require. Beat the planets to the punch and rein yourself in before life forces you to do so. There is incredible power when you live in integrity, work it.

Capricorn:

Your home/domestic scene could feel more like a war or disaster zone these days, Capricorn. The same goes for your inner world. The planets are angry, impatient and ready to rumble and so are you. Yes, of course this goes against every mature bone in your wise-old-soul body but there is something extremely regressive and primal about the current planetary atmosphere. The seventh and final Pluto-Uranus square is building to maximum intensity and hitting your stars like a Mack Truck. Is there a saving grace on this week’s battlefield? Yes it’s just a matter of summoning loads of vigilance, patience and caution.

Aquarius:

The planets are determined to test your patience impulse control in unfathomable ways this week, Aquarius. Especially when it comes to what you think, say and text. Check yourself for any trigger-happy response patterns with a feisty and aggressive edge. It’s just all too easy to set fires, burn bridges and shoot your mouth off in ways that create cataclysmic crises in a note second. There is nothing even, patient or tempered about this week’s planetary war. The final and seventh Pluto-Uranus square perfects next Monday, so this is the week brings the grand finale of explosions to the scene.

Pisces:

If ever there was a week to apply every fiber of your watery being towards being more grounded and present, it’s this one. You cannot afford to check out for even a second, Pisces. The energies are way too volatile and explosive this week as we reach the seventh, and final Uranus-Pluto square. Vigilance and care are required to avoid accidents and other mishaps. Remind yourself not to take the infantile reactions of others personally (especially since your social zone is getting set off). People are not exactly at their most mature best under the current planetary duress, darling.

BONUS ROUND! This week we both wrote weeklies — here’s Stefanie’s take:

Weekly 9 – 15 March 2015
Aries:

Your ruling planet Mars is large and in charge this week, as he makes aspects to various planets, setting you, and the world at large – on fire. Watch your tendency to toward angry outbursts, because you’re likely to be short on patience, especially when the Red Planet conjuncts Uranus and squares off with Pluto, both on Wednesday. This is a volatile, hotheaded series of astrological events that put your ego right at the center. You must breathe your way through it Aries – try not to get defensive, or offensive, for that matter. Just stay calm and out of the fray as much as humanly possible.

Taurus:

This is one of those weeks, Taurus – you and everyone around you is likely to be quite on edge. This is thanks, in part, to Mars, the planet of action and drive. He’s going a bit wild this week, interacting first with expansive Jupiter on Tuesday, and then with wildcard Uranus and transformational Pluto on Wednesday. Suffice it to say it’s not likely to be a drama-free week, and it’s only the prelude to next week’s overwhelmingly intense Uranus-Pluto square. Steady yourself, take lots of yoga classes, and avoid partying too hard – you’ll want to keep your wits about you during the rest of March.

Gemini:

What a few weeks you’re about to have, Gemini! Before things get really crazy with the Uranus-Pluto square next week, prepare by appropriately dealing with this week’s intense Mars energies. The planet of action tangles with a series of planets starting on Tuesday, waking up your relationship to people in your online/offline network. This is where you’ll see the most activity and volatility, so try to use the energy as positively as you can. Avoid blowups with friends, and try to be patient with people – especially on Facebook and Twitter, where it’s so easy to let things get totally out of control.

Cancer:

We’re entering a fairly intense window of energy this week, so it’s extremely important to stay calm, grounded, and self-loving. The crescendo doesn’t arrive until next week, but you’re likely to feel it immediately. Your career gets the brunt of this week’s powerful energy, thanks to Mars, currently activating your house of professional endeavors. The Red Planet, in charge of action and aggression, is setting off Jupiter on Tuesday – but this first hit is pretty creative and great for finding new opportunities to make money. On Wednesday, when Mars conjuncts Uranus and squares Pluto, it’s a whole different story – one that could be quite stressful.

Leo:

This is a pretty crazy week, leading up to a potentially even crazier week. But for you, Leo, it holds some special promise. That’s because Mars, the planet of action, is starting off the week (on Tuesday) by making a wonderful aspect to lucky Jupiter, currently in your own sign. It’s certainly a hot, potentially volatile time, but it’s not without unique insights and sudden, overwhelmingly brilliant ideas that appear to come out of nowhere. Mars is currently in a sister fire sign, and as it sets off Uranus and Pluto on Wednesday, you’ll surely feel a sense of adventure and wanderlust perking up.

Virgo:

Hold onto your seat this week, Virgo, because the insanity that is March is about to begin. Although the really heavy aspects will not be exact until next week, you’ll surely feel them beginning to fire as early as Tuesday. That’s when Mars, currently in your house of intimacy and transformation, makes waves with Jupiter, planet of expansion. The very next day the Red Planet goes toe-to-toe with Uranus, the planet of shock and surprise – be wary of sudden outbursts toward (or from) intimate partners. That same day Pluto gets into the mix, spurring your creativity, but it might require some serious inner work first.

Libra:

Steady yourself, Libra, because Shakespeare’s warning about ides of March are far more appropriate this year than ever before. Even though the most intense aspects of the month don’t erupt until next week, you’ll feel the rumblings as early as this Tuesday, when Mars aspects Jupiter. You may pull the proverbial trigger on an important relationship, as the Red Planet is sitting in your house of partners at the moment. When he squares off against Pluto, the planet of transformation, on Wednesday, tensions could be high with family members. Take a breath before you say something you’ll regret later.

Scorpio:

Mars is making almost all the cosmic headlines this week. The Red Planet is currently in Aries, the sign that it shares co-rulership with (in addition to your own). When Mars is in either Aries or Scorpio, it’s even more intense and powerful, and that’s definitely the case right now. It’s firing up your work zone at the moment, and when it meets up with Jupiter (in your house of money) on Tuesday, you might have an amazing opportunity to increase your fortunes. On Wednesday, however, it could be a bit more stressful, thanks to Pluto and Uranus in the mix. Take it slow.

Sagittarius:

While all the other signs struggle to navigate the heavy dose of fire in the air, you should fare far better, Sadge. Mars (the planet of action and aggression) is in Aries at the moment, inhabiting your fifth house of pleasure and creativity. On Tuesday the Red Planet meets up with your ruler Jupiter in a stimulating and positive “trine” configuration, setting the tone for week of breakthroughs. The following day things get a bit trickier as Mars duels with Pluto (in your money zone), but it’s nothing you can’t overcome. In fact, any challenges make you stronger now.

Capricorn:

The Uranus-Pluto square isn’t officially here until early next week, but oh my – you can feel it already, Capricorn! That’s why it’s so vital for you to find an array of coping mechanisms this week. You’ll get your first taste of emotional upheaval Wednesday, as Pluto, currently in your own sign, squares off with fiery Mars, currently in your house of home and family. An old pattern could reemerge, but remember, this is your chance to tackle it and have a breakthrough. Situations that emerge suddenly call for patience and non-reactiveness above all. Take a step back and assess before you respond.

Aquarius:

You’re usually able to rise about it all in a state of emotional detachment, but this week things could even get a little out of control for you, Aquarius. The real cosmic show doesn’t actually begin until early next week, but you’ll probably feel it reverberating as early as this Tuesday and Wednesday. That’s when Mars, the planet of direct action, makes a series of aspects to Jupiter, Pluto and Uranus. Since the Red Planet is currently in your communication zone, expect to feel like you’ve got to say what’s on your mind, no holds barred — no matter what the consequences.

Pisces:

This week brings some intense, fiery aspects to the table, Pisces, and your sensitive nature could be a bit rattled by it all. Mars, the planet of action and aggression, is setting off three different planets between Tuesday and Wednesday, presaging next week’s incredibly fraught Uranus-Pluto square. In the meantime, because the Red Planet is currently in your money zone, expect to feel some tension around your financial affairs. This could manifest as pressure to make more money or anxiety about what you don’t yet have. Figure out how to maintain self-control and be strong and assertive in any negotiations about salary.
