General Daily Insight for March 09, 2024
Our thoughts are flying fast and loose. The Moon is wandering through Pisces, where it will conjoin stoic Saturn. Life may seem to start slowly, but the pace picks up once blazing Mars squares eccentric Uranus, causing us all to act out. Plus, as the Sun sextiles Uranus, even more eccentricity is encouraged. Cosmic communicator Mercury will then zip into fiery Aries at 11:03 pm EST for the next few weeks, increasing our vitality and curiosity as we search for our next big adventure.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Wake up, Aries! Your mind is brimming with ideas and energy as messenger Mercury arrives in your sign for its annual visit. During this cycle, you will be like a lightning rod for all sorts of communication, so don’t be wary of taking up the megaphone and letting people hear what is on your mind. Still, make sure to remember that conversations are a two-way street, and that you need to be willing to listen as much as you expect it of others.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
It’s not your imagination if things seem fuzzy all of a sudden. Your mental state is effectively “clocked out” as Mercury slips into your sleepy 12th house, lessening your energy for grand schemes and active projects. It could feel like you’re missing the bigger picture during this time, so you’d do well to focus on wrapping up old issues, rather than diving into unfamiliar ideas. This is a very creative sector, however, so you can productively channel this abstract energy into something artistic.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Your phone is about to start blowing up! Everyone wants a piece of you — and you likely want a piece of them, as eloquent Mercury bounds into your 11th House of Community. Don’t hesitate to circulate and connect with people from all different walks of life. You can reconnect with old friends and strengthen those bonds, but keep in mind that you can also make new friendships that will last a lifetime. There’s no need to be shy when it comes to introducing yourself.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Get your elevator pitch ready! It’s time to start walking the talk as Mercury zooms into your 10th House of Vocations, shining cosmic clarity onto your goals and what you must do in order to achieve them. This transit is great for stirring up modern opportunities to help you do just that, but you’ll need to be ready to prove yourself at a moment’s notice. Brace yourself by preparing to be your most professional self in every room you walk into.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Life may be about to need subtitles in the best possible way. Any interest in distant horizons is magnified as Mercury flies into your 9th House of Divergence, whetting your appetite for the many interesting and stimulating ideas out there in the world. That said, you’ll need to leave your comfort zone to experience them. Diving into unknown pools may be intimidating, but it should be incredibly rewarding once you get past that initial fear. Show everyone how brave and open-minded you can be!
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
It’s time for a complicated conversation or two. The universal impetus for this is Mercury entering your 8th House of Sharing, which means you may need to parse through important topics with important people. This could revolve around financial matters like credit cards, debts, or taxes — but it may touch issues of intimacy and any boundaries you put up as well. You’ll need to put on your game face if you want to get your point across, so don’t shy away from it.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Someone has something to tell you! Your most important partnerships are coming into focus as Mercury enters your 7th House of Bonds, strengthening your relationships that can improve your life across all sectors. This can work out in the professional realm, with valuable collaborators arriving to boost both of your positions, but also in social scenarios. Either way, these people will probably be solid sounding boards who can show you unique aspects of yourself, be it with hard truths or well-intentioned pleasantries.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Your life is acquiring a wonderful sense of efficiency. Mercury is entering your reliable 6th house, giving you an extra boost to optimize your usual routines so they aren’t so burdensome. Intelligent Mercury is right at home in this sector, so you’ll be able to benefit from this energy by relying more on co-workers and other helpers to pull their weight. You shouldn’t need to micromanage every detail of your life! Allow others to carry their share, and watch everything become that much simpler.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
It’s time to express yourself, Sag! Chatterbox Mercury is dancing into your 5th House of Originality, inspiring you to open your mouth and let everyone know all the wonderful things you’ve been formulating in that artistic mind of yours. You don’t need to be a regular Michaelangelo or Rembrandt to make use of this phase. By letting your imaginative side out to play, you’ll bring joy to yourself and others, so don’t run off and hide away in the wings.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Home is where the heart is — and also your mind, for the time being. Mercury is cozying up in your domestic 4th house, turning your attention to matters percolating within your house. These can revolve around a family member or roommate who may require more attention (or provide more excitement!), or it could relate to the physical structure of your home, like ideas for renovations or other DIY repairs. That being said, hiring a professional may prove wiser than attempting anything yourself.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Get ready to run, because life is picking up speed! Mercury is bounding into your 3rd House of Communication, which creates a very exciting and light-hearted energy — but can also be unpredictable and distracting. In order to make the most of this transit, do your best to avoid letting things drop through the cracks, or you might miss out on fun opportunities. The more careful and conscientious you are, the more you can enjoy all this cycle has to offer.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Your finances are calling for attention! Mental Mercury is entering your 2nd House of Income, reminding you to focus on any money matters that may have gotten tangled up while you were dealing with other matters. This transit is great for straightening out the facts, but also useful for uncovering revenue streams that can increase your net worth. Whether you’re looking for a raise or a brand-new job, Mercury is in your corner so you can ferret out your ideal opportunity.
