This week’s transits are all centered around the Sun, bringing themes of illumination, clarity, and purpose. As the Sun makes significant connections with the North Node, Neptune, Venus Retrograde, and Pluto, we are invited to embrace both spiritual insight and tangible transformation. With the Spring Equinox marking the transition into Aries season, this week signifies a profound shift in energy that will influence both the collective and personal journeys.
Monday, March 17 – Sun in Pisces Conjunct North Node in Pisces (27°28’)
The conjunction between the Sun and the North Node in Pisces at 27 degrees brings a moment of deep karmic alignment. On a collective level, this aspect highlights our spiritual destiny, emphasizing themes of surrender, intuition, and divine guidance. Many may feel a heightened sense of purpose, an internal pull toward their soul’s calling, or an intuitive knowing that they are on the right path.
Individually, this transit can manifest as a strong desire to follow dreams and creative pursuits, especially those that align with a higher vision. It may also bring significant spiritual revelations, guiding us toward long-term growth. Those attuned to their intuition will find clarity, while others may experience synchronicities leading them in unexpected but divinely orchestrated directions.
Tarot Connection: Ace of Wands & Two of Wands
The Ace of Wands represents the spark of inspiration this transit provides—a new beginning infused with passion and divine motivation. The Two of Wands follows, reminding us that while inspiration is crucial, planning and vision are needed to take steps forward. This is a time to embrace both the excitement of new possibilities and the wisdom to direct that energy effectively.
Wednesday, March 19 – Sun in Pisces Conjunct Neptune in Pisces (29°36’)
The Sun’s conjunction with Neptune at the final degree of Pisces brings an ethereal, dreamlike energy to the collective. This transit dissolves boundaries between the seen and unseen, amplifying creativity, spiritual connection, and emotional sensitivity. On a collective scale, this could bring a heightened sense of unity, compassion, and an urge to transcend ego-based limitations.
On an individual level, this transit may bring profound spiritual downloads, intuitive insights, or an increased ability to manifest dreams into reality. However, it is important to remain grounded, as Neptune’s energy can also lead to illusions, confusion, or escapism. This is a time to trust intuition but verify facts, ensuring we are channeling inspiration constructively.
Significance of 29 Degrees
The 29th degree is considered an anaretic degree, often symbolizing a culmination of lessons. With Pisces being the final sign of the zodiac, this transit marks the closing of a chapter, urging us to release what no longer serves our highest path before stepping into a new cycle with the Equinox.
Tarot Connection: Three of Wands & Ten of Wands
The Three of Wands represents the vast potential ahead, as we stand on the precipice of new horizons. It speaks to trusting in the divine timing of what we’ve been manifesting. The Ten of Wands, however, reminds us that carrying too much can lead to burnout. This transit asks us to discern what burdens we need to release so we can move forward unencumbered.
Thursday, March 20 – Sun Enters Aries (Spring Equinox)
The Sun’s entrance into Aries marks the Spring Equinox, a powerful turning point where we shift from introspection to action. This is the astrological New Year, bringing renewal, ambition, and a fiery momentum that sets the tone for the months ahead.
Collectively, this shift initiates a period of boldness and leadership, urging us to step into our personal power. Individually, this energy calls for courage and initiative—this is the time to embrace new beginnings with confidence and determination. Aries season reminds us to trust our instincts and take decisive action toward our goals.
Saturday, March 22 – Sun in Aries Conjunct Venus Retrograde in Aries (2°39’) (Cazimi)
A cazimi occurs when a planet is within one degree of the Sun, signifying a moment of clarity and renewal. As Venus, in its retrograde phase, meets the Sun in Aries, there is a deep review and rebirth of themes related to love, self-worth, and desires.
On a collective level, this transit brings a powerful reevaluation of relationships, finances, and values. Old patterns in love and partnerships may surface for healing, offering the opportunity to reclaim autonomy and authenticity. Individually, this is a moment of self-discovery, particularly in understanding what truly aligns with our heart’s desires. Passion is reignited, but in a way that reflects deep inner transformation.
Tarot Connection: The High Priestess & Knight of Cups
The High Priestess represents the introspective, intuitive nature of Venus Retrograde—this transit asks us to listen to our inner wisdom rather than external validation. The Knight of Cups brings the energy of romantic pursuit and emotional expression, but in a more refined and self-aware manner. This combination speaks to a heart-led journey that emerges after deep introspection.
Sunday, March 23 – Sun in Aries Sextile Pluto in Aquarius (3°24’)
This sextile between the Sun and Pluto brings empowerment and transformation. Collectively, this transit pushes us toward reclaiming personal and collective power, sparking revolutionary changes that challenge outdated structures.
Individually, this transit strengthens our ability to step into leadership roles and assert ourselves with confidence. It’s a time of breaking free from past limitations and embracing personal evolution. With Pluto in Aquarius, innovation and progress play a key role in this transformation.
Tarot Connection: The Empress & Queen of Wands
The Empress embodies abundance, creation, and self-nurturing, aligning with Pluto’s transformative power to birth something new. The Queen of Wands represents confidence, courage, and the ability to lead with passion. Together, these energies encourage us to own our power and trust in the unfolding of our path.
Final Thoughts: The Sun as the Central Theme
Every major transit this week involves the Sun, highlighting a week of clarity, action, and self-actualization. The Sun represents consciousness and identity, and through its conjunctions and aspects, we are guided toward greater self-awareness and purpose. This week is a call to embrace both our intuition and courage, blending deep introspection with bold action.
With the Equinox marking the beginning of a new astrological cycle, we are stepping into a season of renewal.
