🧿 Corresponding Tarot Card: The Chariot
A significant, yet complex, shift occurs today as Mars enters Sagittarius at 9:48 AM EST, moving from one Gandanta point to another. It leaves the water-fire knot of Scorpio and enters the fire-water knot of Sagittarius-Pisces, where it will remain until the 12th. It is also still combust the Sun until March 27th. This means our drive is liberated from the depths of Scorpio but is now turning inward to refine our philosophical beliefs and truth-seeking impulses. The Moon begins in Gemini, within the hopeful space of Punarvasu. Around noon, it shifts into its sign of rulership in Cancer, and by 6 PM EST, enters the supremely benevolent Pushya nakshatra, offering a divine container of emotional nourishment.
🌟 Today’s Cosmic Weather Report 🌟
Lunar & Planetary Focus: The energy evolves from mental optimism (Punarvasu) to deep emotional security (Cancer/Pushya). Mars’ Gandanta shift redirects our willpower from personal transformation (Scorpio) to the refinement of our beliefs and adventures (Sagittarius). The Moon in Cancer provides a nurturing anchor, allowing us to process this internal drive and the intense Moon-Pluto opposition from a place of inherent strength.
Planetary Context: The Moon’s move to Cancer reorients the chart. The Gandanta/Combust Mars moves to the 6th/7th house, asking for internal refinement in daily work and partnerships. The Scorpio stellium moves to the 5th house, deepening creativity. The Moon-Pluto opposition creates tension between emotional security (Cancer) and power dynamics in relationships (Pluto in 7th).
🔭 Planetary Positions & Their Impact (From the Moon’s Perspective in Cancer):
1st House (Self, Identity): Moon in Cancer (Pushya). 🌙
Your emotional core is exalted and divinely nurtured. Pushya’s energy offers unconditional support, making you feel protected, emotionally rich, and able to extend that nurturing to others. This is a profoundly auspicious energy.
7th House (Partnerships): Pluto in Capricorn. ♇
The opposition creates intense, transformative dynamics in your closest relationships. Your exalted Moon gives you the emotional strength to engage in this transformation from a place of security, not fear.
6th/7th House (Health/Routine & Partnerships): Mars in Sagittarius (Gandanta/Combust). ♂️
Mars energizes your daily work and partnerships, but its Gandanta/combust state asks you to refine your approach. Channel this drive into studying philosophy, planning a future trip, or improving your health with patience, not force.
5th House (Creativity, Romance): Sun, Mercury, Venus in Scorpio. ☀️☿♀
A harmonious flow supercharges your creative projects and romantic life with passion, deep communication, and magnetic attraction, beautifully supported by the nurturing Moon.
🧘♂️ Actionable Advice for the Day:
-
Morning (Punarvasu/Mars Shift): Expand your mind. With Mars in Sagittarius, direct your drive toward learning, planning an adventure, or exploring a new belief system, but do so with reflective patience.
-
Afternoon (Cancer/Pushya): Nurture and Refine. Engage in activities that make you feel secure and emotionally “full.” Cook a nourishing meal or connect with family. Let the Pushya energy stabilize you.
-
Navigate the Energies: Use your emotional strength (Moon) for internal fortitude. Refine your actions (Mars) rather than forcing them outwardly.
-
Healing Activity: “The Pushya Blessing.” Visualize a warm, golden, nourishing light filling you. Affirm: “I am divinely protected and nurtured. My drive is being refined for my highest good.”
🧿 Tarot Card: The Chariot

This card embodies the day’s energy perfectly. The Charioteer represents mastering opposing forces with willpower. The black and white sphinxes are the opposing forces of your nurturing heart (Cancer Moon) and transformative relationships (Pluto), and also the internal conflict of a driven yet combust Mars. The Charioteer harnesses these forces with controlled determination. With the Moon providing emotional control and Mars (however challenged) providing the drive, you can consciously steer your life forward.
You hold the reins. Master the internal and external oppositions with conscious will, and chart your course with patience. 🙏
