Good Friday on March 21 could turn into Bad Friday as the full moon and planetary aspects are intense and dynamic. Bouncers, rowdies, gangbangers, punks, crooks, and cops should note that it won’t take much of a spark to set off big problems. The full moon forms a cardinal cross with Mars and Pluto, raising tensions and testosterone. Mars rises at full-moon time midday, and is another indicator that people will be touchy, pushy, and impatient. Fires, accidents, and other mishaps could occur.

The objective of writing this isn’t to create concern or fear, but to make us aware of the dynamics of the day—forewarned is forearmed. Instead of knee-jerk reactions, we’ll know that the potential for aggression is onboard, and we can choose not to go there. Springtime is upon us, and it starts with a bang. The last 10 days of March will be fiery, and we will be able to hear the yelling all the way from Victoria and Ottawa.

The Libra moon on Easter Sunday will enhance the day nicely. Everybody will be in their finery as the ladies try to outdo one another with their Easter bonnets. It’s a great day to socialize, mix, and mingle. Mercury and Venus are travelling through Pisces, enhancing life in many ways. Music, art, poetry, love, and romance may be on our minds. After all, it is the season of new life and new action. It will be a year of very dynamic change for our society. When 2009 comes along, everything both north and south of the border will have changed. Let’s get to work and lean into what must be done.

Aries
March 21 - April 19
The full moon on March 21 will light your fire—hopefully it will be a fire of inspiration and not aggression. All of life’s activities are heightened, and you may be on top of your game. It’s your time to shine. Career opportunities are close at hand. Make it happen by being bold and assertive, and others will respond.

Taurus
April 20 - May 21
New circles and new friendships are developing, and the stars are running in harmony with Taurus. The moon passes through your opposite sign, Scorpio, from March 23 to 25, heightening activities and demands on your time. Romantic energies are developing, possibly through a friendship. Overall, the stars are favouring your sign these days. Make the best of it.

Gemini
May 22 - June 20
Your solar work sector is lit up. Changes are indicated with career and home. Hook up with like-minded folks, as your house of friendship is highly activated. A spiritual journey would suit the times nicely. Family concerns also take up your time. Money could come by way of inheritance or through partnership.

Cancer
June 21 - July 23
The full moon on March 21 may ignite your passions and opinions about everything. Life will be intense and demanding right through to the end of the month. Watch for fights, injuries, cuts, and burns as the energy is hot and excitable. Romantic energies are high as well. You may be in the mood for adventure. It is also a good time to work out and express the built-up energy that Mars is providing.

Leo
July 24 - August 23
Travel looms in the near future. Matters related to higher education, spirituality, and philosophy capture your interest. Metaphysics and psychic phenomena are at hand. Joint monies or inheritances may be in the picture. Without being paranoid, keep an eye out for deception, especially in the joint-finance department.

Virgo
August 24 - September 23
People who support you or are against you show up. Partnerships are solidified and solemnized, or possibly ended. It is time to move closer to those you love, and it is time to let go of what is not working out. Hard decisions have to be made, and you may say goodbye to people and places. It will work out in the end.

Libra
September 20 - October 23
The full moon on March 21 occurs in your sign, bringing a wave of excitement and action. Battles may come up that need to be quelled. You can be the diplomat and hopefully not the doormat. Intense energies run right to the end of the month. The peacemakers are warriors and the warriors are peacemakers. You may be both.

Scorpio
October 24 - November 22
The moon passes through your sign from March 23 to 25, creating a series of very fine aspects to the planets that will enhance life in many ways. It is your time to shine, and you may feel that you are in the zone and on top of everything. The instinct to put things together now is strong.

Sagittarius
November 23 - December 21
March 26 is a day of mixed energies. You may have to make some heavy decisions, and you could feel relieved once you do. March 27 is similar in the sense of intensity and shakiness, but it will have a good end result. Career changes are in the wind; either a promotion or a pink slip comes your way.

Capricorn
December 22 - January 20
The full moon on March 21 forms a cardinal cross with Mars and Pluto. Being that Pluto is in your sign, you can expect some fallout to come your way. You may not mind, as you may be ready for the scrum. At least, you should be ready, as it will come. Those who oppose you will show their hand.

Aquarius
January 21 - February 19
Short journeys, educational concerns—it’s a busy and demanding time all around. Health concerns must be addressed, along with glitches in the workplace. It’s time to get it all sorted out. You may feel some futility or confusion with Neptune in your sign. Take your time and let things get worked out.

Pisces
February 20 - March 21
Mercury and Venus are travelling through Pisces, enhancing life’s activities in many ways. Love and creative energies are high, mixed in with some worry and concern. Last week was a bit heavy, and you may be recovering from all that came to pass.
