Today's astrology: Keep the peace

Wednesday, March 20, 2013: Happy International Astrology Day!! Congratulations, today you'll have what it takes to stand up for what you believe in, as well as a realistic picture of your possible future. And that's not a bad way to start the new astrological year.

The Sun enters Aries today at 7:02 a.m. EDT. This marks the official beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. Fiery Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and tomorrow Venus enters Aries. Yes, it's true we're finally moving away from the wet world of Pisces, and Aries fire is about to take the lead. With Aries energy growing daily, and Mercury moving forward, you'll be able to define your goals with more clarity and move to get things done.

Today could be a preview of things to come as the Moon strikes up the band, and everyone begins dancing to a new, more lively and assertive beat. However, forewarned is forearmed. It's important that, as the tempo picks up, you don't mistake the more assertive rhythm for war drums. Remember to keep the peace by keeping it cool. Mars is moving through Aries and each day gets closer to Friday's confrontation with Uranus. And a Mars/Uranus conjunction in Aries will definitely require cool heads because accidents are possible and everything could be interpreted as fighting words.

Today at 2:02 pm EDT, the Moon will be void of course in Cancer for 37 hours. This is a very long period of time that is best used for taking a break, for relaxing, for listening to music, reading or for catching up with the house work. The best advice for making the most of a Void-of-course Moon is to expect the unexpected.
