Applying Sun Conjunct Jupiter
This transit inflates whatever is being done at this time, and things are likely to be done in a big and generous way. It’s a good time for proposals, launchings, generous and benevolent actions, increases, travel, outreach, legalities, and educational matters.
Applying Moon Sextile Saturn
People are thoughtful and serious now. It’s a time for traditions, pragmatic decisions, and sensitive diplomacy.
Mercury void in Aquarius
Nervous energy is high, schedules fall apart, communications fail, and things break. Changes or unusual conditions in the weather occur. High winds (mental and actual) blow through any thickness that resists movement. Matters connected with transportation will make news now. Disruptions may occur, making scheduling difficult. Weather changes may have a significant impact on certain areas of the world. It’s best now to cease initiating and get down to finishing what’s already been started. Seek closures and completions.
Venus void in Capricorn
Strong emotions precipitate action. Risks are taken that may not be supported by others. Impulsive decisions later prove troublesome. Matters of love and sex seem compulsive. In general, emotional and cultural matters are important themes now.
Mars void in Capricorn
Individual actions stimulate progressive movement or panic. Risks are run that favor the one over the many. Personal survival comes before group cooperation. This is a time for collective ventilation through sports or through some other kind of competition. A good fight is what’s needed. Leaders take actions, make decisions, and implement repairs. Constructive activities become more focused and detailed.
Applying Jupiter Conjunct Neptune
This transit marks a time of spiritual optimism, idealism, high hopes, and, more negatively, inflated expectations. Ideologies and beliefs are seen to motivate people toward the exploration of new territories. Some may research difficult moral or legal problems. In the arts and in music there is growth and new heights.
Saturn void in Aquarius
Formalities are the rule; traditions are maintained. Groups of old friends, family, and comrades assemble to remember the past. Conservatism rules; experiments fail. At this time leaders are under pressure and laws are put into effect. It’s a time for staying with tradition and not experimenting with new forms of social behaviors. The past triumphs.
Uranus void in Taurus
Actions are unconventional, radical, or surprising. Not everyone agrees on how things should go, therefore there is discord within groups. Others, who have a specific agenda, persevere to make their point despite fierce opposition. Social conditions are volatile now. The bottom could fall out. It’s a time for experimentation and deviant behaviors. Sudden, unusual, and disruptive conditions occur now that reveal deep inequalities in society and culture.
Neptune void in Pisces
Trends are unclear. Not everything is known, there is much to suspect. The fabric of reality seems to be ripped asunder. Faith in leadership is low. Social and economic conditions are unstable and subject to devaluations. The future looks uncertain and no one is taking any chances. Beliefs about reality are challenged. Some feel overwhelmed, even flooded, literally and figuratively.
Pluto void in Capricorn
There is movement toward displaying outright power. Tolerance and patience are pushed aside in favor of drastic actions. Old wounds are reopened and confrontations forced. Power plays occur. Secret forces make their presence known. Some seek to act on their urges, others attempt to stop them. Deep secrets are revealed. A collective cleansing is in order.

These attributes plagued you in this life because of suffering and traumatic endings in past-lives which left you with deep emotional wounds and a feeling of being cheated. In learning this life’s lesson of trusting the process of change you will develop a newfound sense of peace and stability.

The void Moon occurs from 3:02, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing igns (a conjunction to Saturn), until the Moon enters Pisces the next day, Tuesday, March 1st, at 21:54.
This week: The Sun is in Pisces; Mercury is in Aquarius; Venus is in Capricorn; Mars is in Capricorn.
The Sun is in Pisces from February 18-March 20. With the Sun in Pisces, we are guided by altruistic feelings. We are less motivated to do than we are to feel, imagine, and dream. A “what will be, will be” attitude reigns, and we are guided by a sense of universal correlations. Pisces rules empathy, selfless love, devotion, and wisdom. Its shadow side can include self-pity, a feeling of being victimized by life, passivity, and elusiveness.
While we may not always verbalize our feelings and impressions during this cycle, they’re strong and motivating. We prefer to believe and trust, giving things/people the benefit of the doubt until they prove us wrong. We might often tune out problems or conflicts rather than tackle them head on, hoping they will iron themselves out. Prosperity flows when we’re connecting with our heart, being kind, and helping others. The need to withdraw or retreat to restore our energy is strong from time to time.
Mercury is in Aquarius from February 14-March 9. When Mercury is in Aquarius, we are hungry for knowledge and open to new and original ideas. We begin to think outside of the box, and our thinking becomes more progressive and objective. Our communication and thought patterns are spontaneous, somewhat fragmented, reasonable, objective, and liberal. This is a time when inventive thinking is at a peak.
We’re reasonable, finding it easier to separate intellect and emotion when assessing a situation. Although progressive-minded and receptive to new studies and information, we are not quick to sway from our ideas and beliefs. During this cycle, we take more interest in thinking that’s daring or original. As we envision a better future, we can come up with truly interesting ideas and concepts.
Venus is in Capricorn from November 5, 2021-March 6, 2022. [This is longer than usual due to the Venus retrograde, occurring entirely in the sign of Capricorn, from December 19, 2021-January 29, 2022.] Getting serious about our finances and boosting our relations with business partners and/or co-workers will be easier than usual under this influence. Our talents for creating artistic structure and form are enhanced, and our ability to form connections with people who support our ambitions increases.
We value enduring connections, reliability, and faithfulness. We take expressing our feelings seriously, and we take our time to warm up to others. We generally keep our “cool” in relationships. We’re steadfast and seek genuine, perhaps old-fashioned connections. It’s not a time for PDA, and we can be somewhat guarded and reserved with expressing our feelings or revealing our relationships.
The underdog who works hard can have their time in the sun now. We value slow and steady effort and long-term prospects. Reliability in others is most attractive.
This cycle favors getting along well with higher-ups, conservative business goals and ventures, long-term investments, and matters related to pension.
Mars is in Capricorn from January 24-March 6. Mars in Capricorn is deliberate, persistent energy. We consider the future and the consequences before taking action during this cycle. Our energy is reliable and faithful. We are slow to anger, but can be quite cold if we are frustrated. The shadow side of Mars in Capricorn is rigidity.
The NEW MOON occurs on Wednesday, March 2nd, 2022, at 12:35 PM EST.
The New Moon in Pisces marks the beginning of a new cycle, occurring midday Wednesday. The Aquarius New Moon cycle ends and the Pisces New Moon cycle begins.
The New Moon in Pisces is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Fish. These include taking a leap of faith, accepting imperfections in ourselves and in others as a different kind of “perfection,” starting a project that requires imagination and visualization skills, consciously putting time aside for peaceful and rejuvenating activities, and sharing a dream with another.
With this potent Pisces energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives.
This New Moon is especially warm, generous, and optimistic with its alignment with Jupiter. Its sextile to Uranus is progressive, open, and change-positive.
The major bodies are all direct, contributing to a feeling of moving forward. Venus, Mars, and Pluto are closely conjunct at the time of this New Moon, adding a dynamic and creative element to the energies of our new beginnings. Relationships can be at the heart of our new beginnings, fueling our motivation to start fresh. Mercury and Saturn are closely aligned, lending a serious theme to the energies of this lunation.
New Moon in Pisces Chart: March 2, 2022
This phase of the Moon occurs at 12 degrees and 7 minutes of Pisces, affecting people with personal planets and points at approximately 8 to 16 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) most significantly.
Sun in Pisces The mystic, the martyr, the sinner, and the saint: these archetypes take on greater importance in your life at a time like this. Forgiveness, compassion, and understanding come naturally, when you look at life from an eternal perspective – and if anyone ever does know such things, you’ll probably come to understand them as this cycle unfolds. This can be a phase of sublime spiritual development, to be sure. But you should be aware of tendencies to believe too quickly, too deeply, or to become dependent on things or people that seem to offer quick and easy answers to life’s deepest yearnings.
Mercury in Aquarius The tried and true doesn’t cut it anymore: it’s the new, the unique, and the original that catches and holds your interest now. Idealism, rationality, and critical thinking become more and more a part of your mental patterns and the way you communicate. You are inventive, original, high tech.
Venus in Capricorn Marry for money and then learn to love ’em: that’s what your heart tells you now, as a new cycle gets underway in your life. Does that sound cynical? Maybe so – but it does reflect the yearning you feel for security and stability now, and it suggests the kind of compromises you may be willing to make to accomplish these objectives.
Mars in Capricorn With this new cycle taking hold in your life now, taking charge and being in control become more important issues for you. You want to get things organized, and you have the initiative to do it. This is a time of ambition and responsibility, a time to keep your cool and pace yourself. Working hard is smart, but working smart is better.
Jupiter in Pisces Mysticism, sensitivity to the needs of others, and an awareness of karma (the link between the present and the past): these are your paths to spiritual growth now. Addressing these issues brings you gain and satisfaction at many levels. A tolerance for differences, an understanding of human frailties and shortcomings.
Saturn in Aquarius Ideals are in for a period of testing, as a new phase begins in your life. What are principles worth, unless they are put into practice? That’s an important question for you now. This could mean you may be disappointed by causes you believe in – but if you abandon your principles, you lose.
Uranus in Taurus Practicality and ingenuity combine as powerful drives in your life now that you have begun a new cycle. Taking innovative concepts and making them real and practical is your strong suit; getting stuck in the mud is to be avoided at all costs. Financial savvy, inventiveness, worldly genius.
Neptune in Pisces Things spiritual and psychic take the driver’s seat of your imagination as you begin a new cycle. The fine arts and all manner of fantasies assume a larger-than-life importance. Surrendering to fate, karma, and other powers greater than merely mortal may be seen as the ultimate liberation. If all is Maya (illusion), what is the reality that gives rise to the world of appearances?
Pluto in Capricorn As this new phase dawns for you, the pursuit of social/political power and status has a way of seeming necessary and inevitable – and let nothing stand in its way. It starts out small but has bigger consequences than you’d think. Ambition, responsibility, a place for everyone, and everyone in their place…

Origine du mois de mars
Le mois de mars, troisième mois du calendrier, compte 31 jours. Le mot mars provient du latin Martius, qui signifie De Mars ou bien guerrier, et ce mois un bien entendu un hommage au dieu romain de la guerre Mars, gardien de l'agriculture et ancêtre des fondateurs de Rome. Mars marquait le début des périodes de culture et guerre, et des festivals fêtaient le début du mois.

Ukraine crisis deepens as Russians attack nuclear plant
Mar 04 2022
Destroyed Russian armoured vehicles in the city of Bucha, west of Kyiv
Kyiv (AFP) - Ukraine accused the Kremlin of “nuclear terror” and the West expressed fury on Friday after Europe’s largest atomic power plant was attacked and seized by invading Russian forces, which continued to shell major cities.
Fighting and a fire at the Zaporizhzhia plant triggered an emergency UN Security Council meeting, after which President Vladimir Putin said Moscow was ready for talks – if all Russia’s demands were first met.
The six reactors at Zaporizhzhia, which can power four million homes, were apparently undamaged by the fire in a training facility. Monitors reported no spike in radiation.
But the attack killed three Ukrainian soldiers, according to Kyiv’s nuclear operator Energoatom, and was furiously condemned by Western capitals, NATO and environmental groups as utterly irresponsible.
Ukraine's nuclear power plants
“We survived a night that could have stopped the story, the history of Ukraine, the history of Europe,” Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky said.
An explosion at Zaporizhzhia would have equalled “six Chernobyls”, he said, referring to the plant in Ukraine that was the site of the world’s worst nuclear disaster in 1986.
“Russian tank commanders knew what they were firing at,” Zelensky alleged, adding: “The terrorist state now resorted to nuclear terror.”
- ‘Reckless actions’ -
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky speaks during a press conference in Kyiv on March 3, 2022
Russian defence ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov claimed the attack on Zaporizhzhia was staged by “Ukrainian sabotage groups, with the participation of foreign mercenaries”.
“This shows the Kyiv regime’s criminal plan,” he alleged, adding that the plant had been secured by Russian troops and was functioning normally.
After phoning Zelensky during the night, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson accused Putin of “reckless actions” that could “threaten the safety of all of Europe”.
At the urging of Johnson and Western allies, the UN Security Council was convening after the attack, although Russia’s veto on the world body would limit any concerted condemnation.

“We are faced together with what is President Putin’s war of choice, unprovoked, unjustified, and a war that is having horrific, horrific consequences,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in Brussels.
“We’re committed to doing everything we can to make it stop.”
But Putin has been unmoved as Russia has become an economic, sporting and cultural pariah.
The Kremlin said that Putin, in a call with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko Friday, restated that “the tasks set for the (Ukraine) operations are going according to plan and will be fulfilled in their entirety”.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called on Russians “to unite around our president”, after thousands braved mass arrests at anti-war demonstrations this week.

Authorities have imposed a news blackout and two liberal media groups have halted operations. On Friday, Facebook and multiple media websites, including the BBC, were partially inaccessible in Russia.
The BBC also said it was temporarily suspending the work of its journalists in Russia after Russian lawmakers approved legislation to impose fines and jail terms of up to 15 years for anyone publishing “fake news” about the army.
Independent Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta said Friday it would be removing Ukraine content on Friday in the wake of the new law.
Western social media companies “carry hatred and lies” against Russia, parliament chairman Vyacheslav Volodin said.
- ‘Like Aleppo’ -
Russia has intensified strikes across Ukraine with fresh reports of civilian casualties and devastating damage, particularly in southern areas near Kherson, the first city to fall to Moscow’s troops.
In a second round of talks held Thursday, Moscow agreed to a Ukrainian request for humanitarian corridors to allow terrified residents to flee.

But there was no clarity on how the corridors would work, and no sign of any move towards a ceasefire.
Ahead of a third round of talks this weekend, Zelensky urged the West to step up military assistance and to “give me planes”. He also called for direct talks with Putin.
NATO, fearful of provoking its own war with nuclear-armed Russia, again ruled out enforcing a no-fly zone over Ukraine. And the Kremlin rejected direct talks, insisting any contact should come via negotiators.
Ukrainian leaders warn that Russia – given signs its offensive on the capital Kyiv has stalled – is bent on reprising the horrific tactics it used to level the Syrian city of Aleppo in 2016.
The port city of Mariupol, east of Kherson, is cut off without water or electricity in the depths of winter, but Putin has denied bombing Ukrainian cities.
Mariupol’s deputy mayor Sergei Orlov told BBC radio that its humanitarian situation was “terrible” after 40 hours of continuous shelling of sites including schools and hospitals.

“Today Putin style of war is like Aleppo. So Mariupol goes to Aleppo,” Orlov said in English.
“I believe that he wants to destroy Ukraine as a nation, and Mariupol is on this way.”
In the northern city of Chernihiv, 47 people died Thursday when Russian forces bombed residential areas, including schools and a high-rise apartment block, according to a new toll given by local officials.
According to the UN, at least 331 civilians have died since Russia invaded in the night of February 24, purportedly to erase a Western-leaning, “Nazi” threat on its borders.
Ukraine says it has killed thousands of Russian troops. Moscow on Wednesday said it had lost 498 soldiers.
- ‘Whole world against you’ -
Ukraine authorities say residential parts of the eastern city of Kharkiv have also come under indiscriminate shelling, which UN prosecutors at The Hague are investigating as a possible war crime.

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba demanded a special tribunal, alleging there were “numerous cases of, unfortunately, when Russian soldiers rape women in the Ukrainian cities”.
In Geneva, the UN Human Rights Council overwhelmingly voted to create a top-level investigation into violations committed in the invasion.
“The message to Putin has been clear: you’re isolated on a global level and the whole world is against you,” Ukrainian ambassador Yevheniia Filipenko said after the vote.
The UN says more than 1.2 million refugees have flooded into neighbouring countries from Ukraine.
Both the EU and Washington said they would approve temporary protection for all refugees fleeing the war, while Brussels’ Commission Vice-President Maros Sefcovic said he wanted Ukraine to join the bloc “as soon as possible”.
The conflict is also driving some Russians to flee their country, fearful it is their last chance to escape the economic pain from ever-tougher Western sanctions, or the Kremlin crackdown on domestic dissent.
On one of the few remaining routes from Russia to the EU, trains from Saint Petersburg to Finland, have been packed with Russians.
Nor is it just people fleeing.
Six lions and six tigers evacuated from a shelter near Kyiv arrived at a zoo in Poland, following a two-day journey through combat zones.

Tesla finally gets green light to start production in Germany
Mar 04 2022
The Tesla plant southeast of Berlin, announced with much fanfare in November 2019, is slated to produce 500,000 vehicles a year
Berlin (AFP) - After getting snarled up in German red tape, US electric car pioneer Tesla at last got the final go-ahead from authorities Friday, paving the way for production to begin shortly at its “gigafactory” outside Berlin.
Officials in the eastern state of Brandenburg, where the factory sits, issued the final approval for the company’s first production site in Europe.
The green light was “a big day for Brandenburg, a big step into the future” state leader Dietmar Woidke told a press conference, adding that the approval process had been a “mammoth task”.
Brandenburg, formerly part of communist east Germany, is hoping for a job boost from the new factory and has positioned itself as a hub for the production of electric vehicles.
“The future is very exciting!” Tesla CEO Elon Musk wrote in a German-language tweet.
Also on Friday, German car giant Volkswagen announced a 2 billion euro ($2.2 billion) investment in a purpose-built electric plant of its own, set to break ground at its main Wolfsburg site as soon as early 2023.
Tesla parked its ambitions on Volkswagen’s lawn when it announced its plans for the factory in Gruenheide, to the southeast of Berlin, with much fanfare in November 2019.
The Tesla plant, which is slated to produce 500,000 vehicles a year, followed an expedited approval process, and was allowed to begin construction before receiving the final planning permission.
But the US manufacturer’s early momentum was broken by a series of legal and administrative difficulties, in part prompted by angry locals with concerns over the environmental impact of the site.
- Protected lizards -
Together with national environmental groups Nabu and Gruene Liga, residents did everything to stand in the way of Tesla’s plans, organising protests, bringing court appeals and writing open letters.
In 2020, courts ordered Tesla to stop work at the site after a complaint by local associations fearing the destruction of the habitat of endangered lizards and snakes.
The plant’s massive demand for water was also a sore point for residents in an area that has been hit by summer droughts in the last three years.
The local administration still faces a separate legal battle over its plans to pump out more water for use at the plant.
Under pressure from environmentalists, authorities were careful to examine the case closely, delaying the arrival of planning permission.
Setbacks also gave Tesla the opportunity to amend its application, adding a massive yet-to-be-built battery plant next to the main factory.
Concerns over the build were dismissed by Tesla’s rockstar CEO Musk, who sought to win over locals by hosting a country fair on the factory grounds in October.
- Works council -
Had approval for the plant not been given, the costs for dismantling the work already done would have fallen on Tesla.
Production at the factory should begin almost immediately with Tesla having already made a “limited” number of vehicles in a test, a Tesla spokesman told AFP.
Tesla’s next challenge is to find workers, while businesses in Germany are contending with shortages of skilled labour.
What employees there are at the factory have seen to the organisation of a works council, against the US carmaker’s protestations.
The shop-floor organisation is common to German industries, and hands workers a degree of influence over corporate decision-making.
Elections to the works council, which took place at the end of February, were nonetheless won by representatives of “Gigavoice”, which is closer to management.
Currently between 2,500 and 3,000 people work at the plant, according to union sources, primarily more senior members of staff.
In time, employment at the multi-billion-euro plant should rise to 12,000, according to local press reports, figures not confirmed by Tesla.
The opening of the plant represents a big step forward for the electric carmaker, which “will alleviate the bottlenecks of production for Tesla globally” and up deliveries, according to analysts at investment firm Wedbush.
