Mercury Squares Jupiter: Delusions of Grandeur
As if the murky and intoxicating influence of Mercury in Pisces isn't enough right now, the stars now offer a challenging aspect from Jupiter, a planet struggling to find truth in the gossip-laden dual sign of Gemini. Confusion streams forth from both of these placements, and now that they're in cosmic play, don't be surprised if your mind tries to go a bit off the deep end!

The best way to navigate this exaggerated influence of temporary insanity is to take everything with a grain of salt. For starters, you'd be wise to not believe all that you hear, read, or see. Better yet, question everything and wait until after March 17 (when Mercury ends its retrograde and goes direct) to make any major decisions, let alone pass judgment or jump to any half-baked conclusions. You'll see gossip and backbiting on the rise under the spell of Mercury and Jupiter, so watch your tongue and make sure you don't fall prey to the temptation to verbally malign others.

Saturn Retrograde in Scorpio: Bringing the Darkness to Light
Are you ready to turn your dark matter into gold? Saturn is in the midst of a long retrograde sojourn in Scorpio through July 9, during which the cosmic taskmaster brings darkness to light.

Scorpio is a fixed Water sign that runs deep, so you can expect layers upon layers to contemplate throughout the next four months. As with any planetary retrograde, your task now is to go within and integrate any lessons you've absorbed since early October, when Saturn began its reverse journey -- it's likely there's been an awful lot of shedding of dead skin since then.

Mercury Retrograde in Pisces: Brain Fog
It's challenging enough now that Mercury, the planet of communication, has turned tail and begun moving backward through March 17 ... but when you add Pisces' murky influence to the mix, certain things in your life may turn out to appear as clear as mud. You can ingest all the caffeine you want, but brain fog is sure to be a daily phenomenon during the next few weeks!

Pisces is the sign of projection, so expect others to spew angels and devils during this time. Boundaries are a big blur now, so watch for people saying things that would be better left unsaid (or with a more appropriate audience, or at a better time). Synapses feel soggy and misunderstandings abound, so do all you can to go with the flow; forget trying to make any rhyme or reason out of rampant insanity. After all, you can't talk to crazy.

Virgo Full Moon: Progress, Not Perfection
A full Moon is a time of clarity and insight, as the lunar orb shines light on darkness. Today's full Moon is in detail-oriented, solitude-loving Virgo, and you may find yourself wanting to work alone on a project -- or having to go solo when you'd expected help.

Virgo is a remarkably self-sufficient sign, so you're likely to discover just how much you're capable of now. It's also a sign that's about hands-on service and taking care of loved ones, so this is no time to shirk your responsibilities! The gift of a Virgo full Moon is that it helps you learn how to be as productive as possible. Streamlining your schedule may also bring relief.

Virgos tend to be perfectionists, so this full Moon might bring insecurities to the surface. Rather than internalizing fears, share them with a trusted friend, co-worker, or family member. You'll be surprised how much is revealed as you offload.

Mars Enters Pisces: Dream into Action
Now that Mars, the planet of war, has moved into the squishy and sensitive waters of Pisces until March 11, you'll find your energy and actions becoming a bit mushy and amorphous, to say the least. This signals a welcome reprieve after the intense, cold-blooded killer energy of Mars in Aquarius. Compassion is back in action now, and you'll find yourself led back to your heart and sensitivity.

There's something obscure, dreamy, and poetic when Mars operates in watery Pisces, the sign of the imagination. Your fighting spirit may feel waterlogged at the moment, but you'll have no problem turning within and viewing your life through a more cinematic scope. In fact, the more you channel your energy in accordance with your creativity, the less victimized you'll feel.

Jupiter Direct: Positive Vibes on the Home Front!
