Healing requires from us to stop struggling, but to enjoy life more and endure it less. - Darina Stoyanova
Drag your battered carcass to the nearest comfortable surface and stay there. We have officially emerged from the eclipse corridor, that high-altitude fever dream that started with a solar eclipse in Aquarius initiating what has been the shortest month of the year but somehow felt like a decade spent trapped in a sensory deprivation tank filled with radioactive static.
Globally, the stage is of course a complete disaster. We are watching the imperial decline in real time - a poorly rehearsed dinner theater where the lead actors are high on bath salts and the scenery is actively melting. The Pisces energy overload, with Mars now squirming here too, the Mercury retrograde…it all adds to the confusion AND EXHAUSTION!
I said it before, I’ll say it again - Pisces season should be declared a international holiday, put us all to sleep until Aries knocks on the celestial door, please!
By now, you’re probably not even outraged anymore with our leaders doubling down on deeply unserious behavior, insisting the empire is fully clothed while the rest of us are wondering why the adults in the war situation room are wearing literal diapers.
This stretch from March 6 to March 13 is your landing strip. It is the cosmic medicine kit for our exhausted selves. Astrology is finally showing up for us, not just happening to us, to help us integrate the gut-churning plot twists of the last few weeks.
This is a shitty cocktail of high-octane fire and dissolving water. You have an urgent impulse to act, to be bold, to set something on fire, but the heavy Pisces influence and Mercury retrograde are busy sawing that cartoon circle around you in the floorboards. Forward motion right now feels like trying to run a marathon in a swimming pool filled with jelly, but that’s by design! The goal is not productivity.
This stretch of sky works more like a cosmic recovery room: a place where old attachments soften and slip away, especially the ones that have been quietly sabotaging things for years. The real task is clearing the residue so those patterns don’t hitch a ride into the next chapter.
So choose whatever philosophy, ritual or mild delusion helps you float through the descent.

Just below, I’m looking closer at each day and their energetic invitations and challenges, but if you’re still finding your way out of the eclipse forest fire smoke, stumbling around, arms outstretched, why not grabbing onto this little kit of spiritual inquiry tools I prepped for the eclipse corridor:
Gentle Tools for the Weary Soul Navigating the Eclipse Corridor & Our Changing Reality
March 3rd Lunar Eclipse in Virgo opens a door out of that damned eclipse corridor.
To guide you through this illuminating period, I crack open a little portal HERE into a private sanctuary..a space designed to navigate the intricate dance between Virgo’s meticulousness and Pisces’s boundless, sometimes overwhelming intuition through:
- The Chart: A sign-by-sign guide to the friction the planets are currently creating and the specific direction they are pointing you toward.
- The Voice: A guided meditation journey as a review of the full eclipse journey from Aquarius Solar Eclipse, through Saturn-Neptune Conjunction to Virgo Blood Moon.
- The Cards: Illuminate hidden patterns with the printable Lunar Eclipse in Virgo Tarot Spread.
- The Words: A deliberate unearthing of your own truth through journaling exercise.
- The Ritual: A gentle spell that isn’t about manifesting a “new” version of you, but rather saying hello to the self emerging from the eclipse corridor..changed, perhaps a bit tired, but still supremely YOU.

Friday March 6
Friday marks a massive vibe shift as Venus leaves the mystical waters of Pisces and struts into the initiatory fire of Aries at 2:46 am PST. In Pisces, Venus was punch-drunk on idealism and mystical love. In Aries, she wants what she wants, and she wants it five minutes ago. A leather jacket over a white silk nightgown, boots that can and will! kick the door down.
But do not get too excited.
Venus immediately runs into a brick wall, conjoining Neptune at one degree of Aries and Saturn at two degrees of Aries. This occupies the first three degrees of the entire zodiac, a region supercharged by recent conjunctions.
This is a recipe for extreme internal confusion. Your desire for action is met with the dissolving influence of Neptune and the restrictive hand of Saturn. It is like trying to start a revolution while wearing a straightjacket instead of a leather one, and having a vivid hallucination.
The Moon transits through Libra today, which usually craves harmony and adult conversation, but the Venus-Saturn-Neptune pile-up suggests feeling completely alone in a room full of people.
Relationships may fall apart as you realize that the higher truth of a situation makes it unsustainable. You are becoming more willing to surrender past attachments that no longer serve the path forward. See what comes up today, especially in the areas where your values and ideals meet another person? What is it trying to teach you?
Despite the drama, Friday offers the exact Sun-Jupiter trine at 15 degrees of Pisces and Cancer.
This is traditionally one of the most positive transits in astrology, but there is a temptation to do absolutely fucking nothing. While lounging on the couch and ignoring reality might feel good, try to focus on the vision of what you want to build next. The veil between the material and spiritual worlds is currently as thin as single-ply unscented toilet paper, allowing for the seeding of vision into the ether before it takes root in the physical world over the coming months.
Saturday March 7
Saturday is the energetic highlight of the weekend, featuring the Mercury retrograde cazimi. This occurs when Mercury, currently moving backward and looking for missteps, reaches the exact same degree as the Sun: 16°52’ of Pisces.
This is the midpoint of the retrograde cycle, a moment of illumination where the messenger planet is purified in the solar rays.
If the last few weeks have felt foggy and emotionally heavy, Saturday provides a window of startling precision. It is the movie scene where a missing piece of information finally clicks, or a conversation that has been circling the drain for years finally reaches a point of clarity.
Of course, because this occurs in Pisces, the insights are not linear or logical. They arrive as symbols, dreams, disembodied voices and flashes of inner knowing.
Speculatively, this 17-degree Pisces position is associated with the historical Star of Bethlehem, adding a layer of spiritual gravity to your morning coffee.
At the same time, Venus and Neptune perfect their conjunction at one degree of Aries. Reality feels… unreal.
The collective may experience an intensified desire to escape through excessive consumption, whether it is over-drinking, over-eating or getting lost in a fantasy that is objectively a bad idea. Yes, hours drowned in the conspiracies subreddits or pornhub.com also belong here. Just saying.
There is a risk of significant distortion in communication. People will be talking out of their asses, manipulating the truth (I’m looking at you, USA presidential propaganda) or getting lost in their own emotional narratives.
Throw some tarot cards on the table. Listen more than you speak today.
I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it. — Maya Angelou
Sunday March 8
Sunday brings a Grand Trine in water signs, featuring a newly retrograde Mercury in Pisces, Jupiter in Cancer and the Moon in Scorpio. This is an exceptionally…
