Thursday 5th March
The Moon rises in the earthly sign of Virgo, traditionally making it an ideal time to work with the soil as we move beyond the threshold of winter. Yet today a trine between the Sun in Aquarius and Jupiter in Gemini forms a strong air element influence, which gently overrules Virgo’s earthy qualities and favours a flower day instead — well suited to tending blooms, sowing flower seeds, and propagation. The Sun in harmonious trine with Jupiter is a powerful pairing. Jupiter, often called the “little Sun,” amplifies the qualities of light, expansion, and uplift, and with both bodies working through air signs, these forces are further enhanced by the zodiacal lightness surrounding them. We may feel this as a brightness in mood or a lightness in our step. If we are in the garden, it is worth making the most of this subtle increase of light, allowing our work to be guided by clarity, openness, and a sense of gentle expansion.
