With a waxing Moon, retrogrades behind us, and the dynamic energy of Rahu and Mercury in Aquarius still rocking world affairs, we greet an active week ahead.

The approach of Sun to Saturn in the universal sign of Pisces, which invites divine connection paired with the practical reality of  karmic consequences, brings friction between individual agendas clashing with collective demands.

Exalted Venus epitomizes the vision of unconditional love and universal support, act...

The turbulence of early March gradually gives way to integration, responsibility, and a quiet but clearer sense of direction.
