Your Daydreams May Be Extra-Meaningful This Week, Astrologically Speaking

Astrologer Jennifer Racioppi is here with your weekly dose of celestial wisdom, with a wellness twist—and this week there are some powerful ways to dream your goals into reality. Here's her best advice on how to align with the stars to make your best love, career, fitness, food, and self-care choices for the next seven days. 

Monday, March 12

The week kicks off with a waning crescent moon in Capricorn. While the Capricorn lunar influence may push you to get things done, despite having more to do than you can feasibly accomplish, your mind may wander to your next vacation as opposed to prepping for the next big meeting. If so, fine. With the sun in Pisces, dreaming (daydreams included) motivates you to stay on point with goals. So go with the flow today. Let your mind wander. Pay keen attention to your most authentic desires. Even if they feel like a "distraction," they'll lead you to your highest destiny.

With one of the strongest aspects of the month happening today, Jupiter making a luscious trine to the sun in Pisces, opulent opportunities abound. That said, with Venus, the planet of love and beauty simultaneously making a harsh angle to the planet of discipline, Saturn, make sure the opportunities you accept (or pursue) are aligned with your core values. One of the biggest stressors in life comes from living in conflict with your key personal values. As the cosmos provide bountiful choices today, make sure to choose what supports the truth of who you are. Clarify your definition of success. Take actions that support authenticity.

Wednesday, March 14

Mars, the planet of action, makes a harsh and awkward angle to Chiron today, suggesting that an emotional trigger may surface. If so don't run from it, but instead, observe it. With Mercury in his retrograde shadow, officially stationing retrograde on the 22nd of March, issues emerging now foreshadow the lessons ahead. So don't shy away from or deny pain. Allow it to be there. Presence yourself to it. Consciously accept and love the dark with equanimity. Observation and awareness may just help haunting feelings dissipate. A healing massage, reiki treatment or therapy session goes a long way, too.

Thursday, March 15

With Mercury the planet of communication trining the North Node of fate and destiny, the higher vision of your life calls you forward today. Align your mind with your destiny; consciously think positive thoughts and get rip-roaring clear on what you need to do to make that goal you're chasing a feasible reality. To that point, however, make sure your goals support your core personal values. Tune in and assess; are you striving for something you even actually want? As the moon wanes back to new now's the time to release that which isn't working.

Friday, March 16

Permit yourself to be exactly where you are right now without needing to change it or make it better. With the moon in its dark phase, now's the time to go inward, and assess what's coming up for you. If tender and difficult emotions emerge, allow them without trying to fix them. Feel into your truth and let it inform the intentions you wish to set for this upcoming new moon tomorrow. New moons represent new beginnings and midwife tender truth. So tune in, allow, and listen. Your truth emerges.

Saturday, March 17

New Moon in Pisces: The Pisces new moon occurs at 9:11 am ET at 26 degrees. This auspicious and aligned new moon in a mutable water sign supports your confidence. Take action on behalf of big-picture goals. Tee-things up to go out the door relevant to professional opportunities. With Jupiter trining the sun and moon, upleveling becomes possible. Yet because this new moon happens so closely to Chiron, (Chiron is known as the wounded healer), it's important to step into your wisdom before initiating your intentions. Journal, meditate, connect to source energy first and then set intentions on behalf of your highest intentions. While the new moon happens in the AM ET rituals done in the evening (ET) prove more fruitful this new moon.

Sunday, March 18

With the Sun moving into an exact conjunction with Chiron today now's the time to take brave action on behalf of your healing. But please note, brave can look soft. Brave can be simple. As this conjunction happens in sensitive Pisces, the universal truth of connectivity and oneness applies today. As you heal, others heal too. So trust your process. Remember you can only take others as far as you've gone yourself. That said, self-care Sunday might look more like a blanket fort than tending to a regimented routine. If so, know that resting and abandoning a schedule provides healing. Nurture yourself today.
