Ides of March favor rebellion

Today’s collision of the fireball Sun with the lightning-bolts of Uranus in Aries is the stuff revolutions are made of. This might well be the “Beware” part of the Ides of March. Rebellion reigns, whether it be toward a dictator or the repressive tyrant that resides in your head.

Luckily, at 2:44 PM, PDT the Moon strolls into stabilizing Taurus, extinguishing some of the wildfires. Four hours later we get a vision of what we’d like life to be, and we can feel it as if it were now.
The Force of rebellion is with you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Fire your dictator! Today’s revolutionary meeting of the Aries Sun with the god of lightning has been called the “Julius Ceasar” effect.

This rebellious energy peaks around 11:20 AM, PDT, when you may surprise yourself or a sudden event will be a catalyst to change. Then three hours later the Moon shifts to a steadier pace in Taurus. At least the threat of spontaneous combustion is over. The evening has a soothing effect on all the recent super-charged energy. You can take a deep breath.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
You’ll have to work for that emotional detachment that you know is so good. It seems like an artful dodger this morning when your best plans are changed by sudden events.

Libra (September 23-October 22)
You may feel like striking out against restrictions you can no longer bear. A fiery collision in the heavens this morning (11:20 AM, PDT) is hard on relationships because it’s all about freedom and liberation. So often we rebel against our partners because we’re frustrated with our own inability to see that accepting responsibility is freeing, not confining. Then the Moon moves into your Venus-ruled partner, Taurus, and balance is restored in mid-afternoon. Appreciate what is beautiful in your relationships.

Your mood takes a more grounded turn later this afternoon when the Moon leaves fiery Aries and strolls into languid Taurus. It’s sweeter still around 6:30 this evening when you feel a romantic and imaginative lift.

Capricorn (December 21-January 19)
Today’s rebellious surge of revolutionary energy may bring some unexpected changes that shake your roots. The god of lightning is still keeping your 4th house of home in a stir.

Later in the day the pace relaxes, and your evening will be quite pleasurable.

Pisces (February 18-March 19)
Today you get a mini version of the big revolutionary changes afoot throughout 2012.

You do not want to feel encumbered. But you get help with managing finances and resources when the Moon walks into security-loving Taurus at 2:44 PM, PDT. This makes a lovely relationship with dreamboat Neptune in Pisces, ending your day with hopes and dreams that you know you can manifest.
