ARIES HOROSCOPES

It isn't always easy to tell the difference between a vision and a fantasy. Each beckons you to have faith in the phantasmal; to put aside your doubts and fears and follow your dreams. You pray that your dreams are taking you to where you want to go, that you'll arrive at a place in life where you can get everything you want; but you also can't escape this uncertain feeling that they might be leading you astray. This is the question you'll be struggling with on March 19th when the Sun conjoins Neptune in Pisces for the last time in our lifetimes. Are you really on track to getting what you want or are you just chasing after another mirage in the desert? Unfortunately there's only one way to find out and that's by pursuing your hopes and aspirations. Even if you wind up with a fistful of sand it's better than not having pursued them in the first place and being left to wonder – what if?

Are you at the end of your rope? It’s a question worth asking when there’s a Lunar Eclipse in Virgo on March 14th. Virgo is the zodiac sign of work, health, and service in Astrology so these are going to be stressors during this time that the Moon grows red beneath the Earth’s shadow. You may feel helplessly stuck in a dead-end job, that your body is suffering from all the pressure it’s under, or that people are exploiting you while promising you that your sacrifices will be worth it in the end. You’ll want to erupt in anger and maybe even lash out – or storm out – but it pays to remember the three virtues of Virgo. First is temperance because blow-ups only lead to situations that you have to go back and try to salvage, second is self-care that if practiced properly revitalizes as well as builds stamina, and the third is exit strategy where you’ve carefully worked out ahead of time how to leave that corner you painted yourself into. These ideas may seem woefully insufficient while the Moon is eclipsed, but give it a few days and you’ll gradually see that they’re tremendously effective.
