Astrology for the Week of March 5, 2012

by Michele Freeman

The theme for this week is self-acceptance. Louise Hay gives a wonderful mantra. “I am loved and accepted exactly as I am, right here and right now. “ Use this wonderful message as an affirmation this week.


The week starts with Mercury (communication) in Aries conjunct Vesta, one of the asteroid goddesses. Vesta represents how you integrate and focus yourself. In a fire sign, this integration and focus is through inspiration to create. Today would be a wonderful day to connect with what truly inspires you, not what you think it should be. So, ignore your ego, which will be making you feel you should be doing something practical to earn money. Connect with your heart and soul and find out what you really should be doing. Mercury and Vesta are also conjunct Uranus (awakening/liberation/ radical change), so the energy is in alignment for breakthroughs today. In addition, to add to the mix, Venus transits into Taurus today, so this creative inspiration will be in the areas of love and money. Woo hoo.

Tuesday, March 6, Venus is sextile Neptune. This energy will be conducive to finding ways to put your creative inspiration from yesterday into action. Be aware of opportunities all around you today.

Thursday, March 8, we have a full Moon in Virgo at 1:39 am. This energy will make you aware of what you need to do on a practical level in order to bring balance in your life in the areas of health and work. The Sabian symbol for this Full Moon is, “A swimming race.” (Visit http://sabian.org/sabian_symbols.php for more information). My interpretation of this is that we need to get in harmony with the flow of life. If you are out of sync with the rhythm of life, do what you need to do to “get in the flow.”

Saturday, March 10, Venus is sextile Chiron. This energy is wonderful for healing in the areas of love and money. Set you intention today to experience the maximum potential of this energy.

The card that I pulled for this week is a healing card from Doreen Virtue Archangels. The message is “Eat a healthful diet, get adequate sleep, and exercise regularly for optimal health.” This is so important in order to experience positive effects from the Law of Attraction. If you do not honor and respect yourself, you are telling God/the Universe, that you do not deserve the best. Moreover, the Universe will respond accordingly.
