The favorable trine between the sun in Pisces and protective
Jupiter, even though it's retrograde in Scorpio, informs the mood of the
weekend. So you're liable to have a false sense of security and do something
crazy, and fairly dangerous, during the disruptive Mars-Uranus square on Saturday.
Some signs may feel frustrated by the lack of affection generated by the Venus-Saturn
opposition; others might learn what they need to know from retrograde Mercury's
conjunction with the sun. By the time Mercury and Jupiter trine on Tuesday, it
could be public knowledge. Every sign will be affected by the eclipse of the Virgo
full moon later that day, especially if you watch it happen.

Aries

The benefits won't be immediately apparent, because at the moment affable
Venus in your Aquarius house of friends, hopes and wishes is being tested by a
Saturnian situation that must be dealt with right away. However, an impressive
reward for how well you behave this weekend should come through by May. Also know
that the provocative square between your impetuous Mars ruler and “color
outside the lines” Uranus is a good enough reason to proceed with caution.
That interaction may have more alarming results than you anticipate.

Taurus

Lots of activity over the weekend to hold your interest, but none will make as
lasting an impression as Tuesday's lunar eclipse in your Virgo of romance
and recreation. Sometimes the effects of an eclipse take three months to manifest,
at other times you'll notice the changes immediately. Because powerful Pluto
is an integral part of this sun-moon opposition, feelings that have been submerged
are likely to surface. Although your partner might not be in the throes of a full-fledged
crisis of faith, something along those lines is happening as well.

Gemini

A sign that is as conscious of alternatives as Gemini should be aware that you're
liable to upset a whole lot of apple carts when daredevil Mars in your sign activates
unpredictable Uranus this weekend. Perhaps your actions will elicit a strange
response from a parent, maybe your boss will carry on like a madman and maybe
the community you identify with will rise up in protest or in praise. Also, something
from your past could come to light as your retrograde Mercury ruler and retrograde
Jupiter align on Tuesday. Was it something you wrote, something you said?

Cancer

Some Moon Children react immediately to a lunar eclipse by taking a nice long
nap to restore the life force they feel is being sapped. Others take days, even
weeks to notice the effects of the full moon phenomenon. Since Tuesday's
eclipse occurs in your Virgo house of communication and travel (activities ruled
by Mercury which is retrograde until March 25), you might not realize what is
missing until then. Or, since enthusiastic Jupiter in your house of fun and games
is under the spell of magical, musical Neptune, you may be oblivious to anything
except the swell time you're having.

Leo

Unlike a solar eclipse (an event you'll experience on March 29), a lunar
eclipse often gives the Lion an even greater sense of empowerment. So before you
really start lording it over the rest of us, remember that Moon Children and Virgins,
the folks most affected by Tuesday's full-moon eclipse, might be justified
in exacting sweet revenge when it's your turn to be eclipsed. Pay attention
to the ideas you get while your sun ruler and retrograde Mercury conjunct in artistic
Pisces this weekend. There's more to that message than meets the eye.

Virgo

No one can control what happens when hot-tempered Mars (currently passing through
your Gemini career house) provokes disruptive Uranus in your house of co-workers,
health and the dues you're obliged to pay. Try not to lose your temper and
stay clear of the folks who are blowing their tops. Forewarned is forearmed, especially
during the edgy Virgo full-moon eclipse on Tuesday. However, while you're
protected by the beneficial trine between Jupiter and your Mercury ruler, feel
free to use what does occur as grist for the commentator's mill.

Libra

Every noble bone in your body may be responding to the challenge issued by idealistic
Neptune this week. Because the planet that Neptune is focused on is generous Jupiter
in your money house, chances are you're about to pay, and pay handsomely,
to meet that challenge. Let's hope that being this high-minded is a luxury
you can well afford. But if artistic inspiration, not moral imperative, is the
motivation behind your spending spree, remind yourself that while Mercury is retrograde,
buying high-ticket items, no matter how altruistic the reason, is still a no-no.

Scorpio

Wouldn't you know it? The first dramatic eclipse of the year takes place
when the sun, in your Pisces house of romance and recreation, opposes the Virgo
moon in your house of socio-political aspirations, the part of your chart that'll
disappear from view. Could this be a signal to forget about the plight of your
fellow man for a while and follow the dictates of your heart? No matter which
course you choose, the ethereal Neptunian vibe will continue to emanate from your
immediate surroundings. Who at your house is bucking for sainthood?

Sagittarius

Right now the connections between Scorpio and Sagittarius natives are both subtle
and intricate. With Pluto, the Scorpio co-ruler in your sign, and Jupiter, the
Sagittarius ruling planet in Scorpio, what happens with one sign will affect the
other. So while self-sacrificing Neptune piles on the pressure during its square
to Jupiter, urging all concerned to reach for a higher ground, you're likely
to follow suit. And when Mercury pesters Pluto to reveal a secret, you're
apt to take that challenge to heart and absolutely refuse, just like a Scorpio
would.

Capricorn

Capricorn's calm, cool and collected demeanor will get you through the ups
and downs of this hectic weekend, but make sure you don't gloss over the
information you stumble across during the lunar eclipse on Tuesday. While the
discriminating Virgo full moon in your house of religion and philosophy disappears,
something you've taken for granted may look very different. What you do
learn could eventually mean much more than it does now, simply because it can
take as long as three months until the effect of an eclipse becomes apparent.

Aquarius

Because the first eclipse of the year occurs across your Pisces-Virgo money axis,
there's a chance that some of your assets will disappear with the moon.
Whether the culprit is a pickpocket or a bank error hardly matters; you need to
stay alert to the possibility and take preventative measures. As it is, thanks
to idealistic Neptune in your sign, you're already in martyr mode, a condition
that could reach new heights while expansive Jupiter tests faith-based Neptune
this week. Or, if you're an artist, prosperous Jupiter challenges your faith
in your talent. Selling out?

Pisces

Jupiter is such a force for growth that even when it's retrograde, you can
still benefit from the positive vibe. So while the rewarding trine between the
Pisces sun and Jupiter is in effect, go buy a lottery ticket, ask for a favor,
put in a bid. Also give due consideration to whatever glint of an idea you get
when the sun and Mercury (also retrograde) meet on Saturday night. If it relates
to your past, so much the better. As for Tuesday's lunar eclipse in your
Virgo marriage house – where might he/she disappear to?
