March 2018 astrology - volatile forces dominate before mid-month


Astrology notes for March 2018

An uncomplicated March, mostly dominated by the sensitive and compassionate energy 
of Neptune is not on offer in 2018.

Only within the first week does the Pisces/Neptune energy dominate – Sun, Mercury, Venus, Neptune all in Pisces – but the full moon on the 2nd has Jupiter in Scorpio merging with Mercury and Venus.

Jupiter in Scorpio is such difficult energy to rein in that it typically expresses in serial offending of a sexual nature or a drive for power that can be boundless and annihilating. A person needs advanced self management to channel that extreme capacity into something bearing the energy of healing rather than abusing.


Death or considerable transformation from the effects of toxic chemistry is well signposted by the Jupiter in Scorpio connection to the Pisces planets as noted at full moon.

Scorpio isn't always lethal but it is often very controlling, suspicious and jealous energy.
The month of March began with Mars sitting adjacent to Pluto, then moving quickly to nudge up alongside Jupiter sequentially gathering all the necessary fuel on board to launch a killer hit.

Cardinal energy courtesy of Saturn already in early Capricorn at the start of March along with Mercury and Venus entering Aries before the end of week one  - adding to the fiery Aries style of Uranus late in its transit of that sign –bolstered as well by Mars in Sagittarius in the weekend of March 10-11. Pluto too is in cardinal Capricorn, effectively at 20-21 degrees all month



This amount of highly activated cardinal energy promises that things will begin –and end, things will be established – and fall apart, things will move at speed – and be stopped in their tracks –much much more action than under a lunar month with dominant Pisces energy.
Mid March looks especially intense.
  • Fire [fire literally as well as anger, aggression and high energy] is expressed through 4 planets and the north lunar node from the end of week one and this grouping carries through to the New Moon on the 17th
  • Mars then entering Capricorn joins the cardinal division, soon joined by the Sun at the March 20/21 equinox - entering Aries – adding to Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Pluto – now a total of 6 energies in high activity cardinal signs which hold sway until the end of March.
  • The action begins to build from the 11th when Sun and Pluto link up at the same time as Mars and Uranus and Saturn with Mercury. 
  • With powerful forces like Pluto, Uranus and Saturn the benign potentials don’t always get a look in as a first option and sometimes the benefits of these can only be identified in hindsight as their initial disruption, annihilation or deconstruction of life is so much in your face that no other nuanced reading of what’s going on has a chance to arise in consciousness.
  • The energy on the 11th sets up potentially violent/aggressive interactions – or at least angry communications with an underlying power struggle

  • Jupiter and Venus then have a merging experience in Scorpio-Aries on the 13th and 14th - at the same time as Saturn and Venus are in mutual antipathy – passionate and consensual for some but high risk and fatal for others. Saturn is a terminating force or at least creating cold, distant, rejection. Some will see the need to end their association; some relationships ended by external forces. Interaction will for many be threaded with stinging aggression on this day.  Best to stay home alone. Or experience this virtually – watching a celluloid enactment – to use up the energy.




  • New Moon at 27 degrees Pisces on the 17th has Uranus tagged on at 27 Aries. 27 is a known potent degree as this is the position at which the centre of our milky way galaxy rotates -27 Sagittarius – and repeated observations have led The Profiler to a proposition that when planets sit at 27 degrees they perform a step-down of those mega forces at the galactic centre – and consequences are observable in the natural forces and sentient beings here on earth.

    Typically there is much disturbance of energies under these conditions –expressing environmentally as severe or extreme weather, extreme human behaviour.

    Using 15 degree analysis*
    The 27 degree position of any factor is resonant with any other factor at 12 degrees 
    The March New Moon has Venus at 12 degrees.
    So Venus is strongly involved in the Sun-Moon-Uranus combined energies. 
    Disrupted relationships. Sudden change in relationships.



    The 27-12 formula extends to a wider orb of positions -especially  the range 25-29 degrees straddling the 27 position being considered strongly effective. This range then activates 10-14 degrees so the resonant pairings are 25-10,  26-11, 27-12, 28-13, 29-14

    The March New Moon has 3 factors at 14 degrees –lunar nodes, Mercury, Neptune while Mars is at 29 degrees

    In human affairs Mars-Neptune often expresses as drug/alcohol energy as well as deceitful dishonest behaviour, sexual fantasy, porn addiction. Any of these issues or related behaviour could be exposed and discussed with some drama under the lunar phase from mid March-mid April.
    • Environmentally the disturbance is always about unbalanced natural forces –which cannot be separated from human imbalances and extremes as both planes of existence are in mutual feedback.
    • Our behaviour towards each other is worsening our environment far more than through observable and measurable pollution.
    • All four forces of nature are activated strongly in March: Fire through Aries and Mars, Earth through Saturn, Wind/Air through Uranus and Neptune influencing Water - and so where the balances are not in place then any or all of these can be eruptive, violent, excessive, destructive. 
    Knowing the potential climate/weather hazards in your own environment and how to be prepared in advance for the most likely elemental risk is common sense.
    • March 2018 is not a period suitable for taking chances or risks whether that is with the forces of nature or with people who are about to tip or explode.

    Late in March Saturn and Mars together in Capricorn are at 90 degrees to the Sun in Aries while Venus is together with Uranus in Aries.
    • The stresses and strains of relating are on high alert in all contexts not just personal and private but in business and political contexts.
    • More partnerships, marriages, associations and contexts where negotiation and interaction are required are subject to sudden break-up or breakdown.
    Fundamentally the cardinal signs [Aries Libra Cancer Capricorn] are all about relating – to Self to Other to those needing to be nurtured guided or managed.
    The onus is on all of us to get this right and the deterioration in this fundamental familial structure has already shown us how much can go wrong in the world when we lack even basic relating skills such as empathy, support, negotiation, compromise. 
    Further than this is the necessity of passing through the appropriate stages of emotional development in order to function as a balanced adult. 
    This critical issue has been overlooked in a world driven by economic agendas and financial pressures but when the fundamental unit of human society, the family, fails in its purpose, we all fail.

    Saturn in Capricorn for a 3 year period will raise this issue of the family-society connection.
    At those periods every year when Saturn is at odds with Venus or the Sun relating issues and responsibilities will be confronted by many.  
    Conflicts between people over the preferencing of the Self over the responsibilities to others - the need to move away from child-like self-interest and towards an adult role prioritising support of others – one partner telling the other “you need to grow up” “you’re a parent now –start acting like it” –these are the voices of Saturn saying Times Up – definitely a hard awakening for those embedded in the Selfie era of self glorification above everything and everyone –and there are connections to the original #TimesUp calling out those who place no boundaries on their own conduct towards others. 
    People who show no restraint are effectively acting like unaccountable children operating within adult bodies in adult environments. Time to work on the mismatch.

    Firstly 2018 January-February-March-April all contain indicators that severe natural forces are activated in the environment and in human affairs -with the theme of structural collapse persisting in all contexts -ranging from natural structures such as hillsides, shorelines, riverbanks and vegetation to humanly built structures, human networks whether digital or social, business or political. All aspects of our lives and environments are undergoing a massive change and renewal. 
    This is a very long term process and the pattern outlined and sustained in the first 4-5 months has activation potential through to August 2018. However a further cycle begins in 2018 signifying earth changes. When Uranus is in Taurus [mid May-early November 2018, early March 2019-late April 2026] the earth itself and its products and related industries, human production of goods, sources of income, our relationship to money and possessions, the physical/material in general are all likely to be expressed in new, different, innovative ways or become very changed. Miniaturisation is one of those processes -objects shrinking, the digitisation and virtualisation or other physical objects/experiences is another. Lab-food or experimental food or unusual -eg insects as food -all of these things already being floated as all collective events cast their shadow before they fully arrive.
    update March 18 2018 - New Foods -The changing face of food production examined

    The earth changes on the horizon from mid 2018 not only involve changes in the condition and structure of the soil [due to water imbalances like drought or flood] but also changes due to tectonic movement and so astrological analysis confirms the scientific view of locations like New Zealand being in a long term era of increased seismicity, land movement, structural land collapse and uplift. 

    Effectively the warnings are already on the table for those who wish to see - certain locations are now hazard zones due to water, wind, landscape and seismic effects and long term plans are needed on a personal, local and national level to promote greater public and personal safety.

    July 5 2018
    Wiltshire Police UK confirm 2 further people found June 30 with Novichok poisoning symptoms
    The initial event on March 4 -the Skripals occurred under a Neptunian full moon on the 2nd and Saturn in Capricorn linked to both Jupiter in Scorpio & Venus in Pisces, plus Chiron at 27 Pisces linked to the full moon's Sun-Neptune midpoint 12 Pisces [24th harmonic 15 degree aspects]
    So Saturn Chiron Neptune plus a Scorpionic theme.

    Sat 30 June was also 2 days after a Full Moon -  this time with Saturn in tight opposition, Jupiter Neptune and Venus all in close contact ..Uranus square Mercury -both in fixed signs around 2 degrees - Taurus/Leo [activating Scorpio/Aquarius too -giving nerve death signature]  ...Chiron close to 2 degrees adding strong debility. The similarities in prevailing energy seem very strong perhaps too strong to be coincidental.
