Applying Sun Conjunct Jupiter
This transit inflates whatever is being done at this time, and things are likely to be done in a big and generous way. It’s a good time for proposals, launchings, generous and benevolent actions, increases, travel, outreach, legalities, and educational matters.
Applying Moon Conjunct Sun
This transit (which is the new moon) generally indicates a time when new things come into being. It’s a time of instinctive awareness and the prominence of unconscious behaviors. It’s also a good time for intuitive initiatives and decision making.
Mercury void in Aquarius
Nervous energy is high, schedules fall apart, communications fail, and things break. Changes or unusual conditions in the weather occur. High winds (mental and actual) blow through any thickness that resists movement. Matters connected with transportation will make news now. Disruptions may occur, making scheduling difficult. Weather changes may have a significant impact on certain areas of the world. It’s best now to cease initiating and get down to finishing what’s already been started. Seek closures and completions.
Applying Venus Conjunct Pluto
Social situations take new courses, plans are accepted and accords are reached. Secrets go public and discoveries are made. Sharing, cooperation, and group bonding are themes now.
Applying Mars Conjunct Pluto
Pressures are building and tensions need to be released. Passions run high under this transit, and daring, dangerous actions make news. Complex situations intensify as extremists push the limits of tolerance. Takeovers and power plays are often successful under this transit.
Applying Jupiter Conjunct Neptune
This transit marks a time of spiritual optimism, idealism, high hopes, and, more negatively, inflated expectations. Ideologies and beliefs are seen to motivate people toward the exploration of new territories. Some may research difficult moral or legal problems. In the arts and in music there is growth and new heights.
Saturn void in Aquarius
Formalities are the rule; traditions are maintained. Groups of old friends, family, and comrades assemble to remember the past. Conservatism rules; experiments fail. At this time leaders are under pressure and laws are put into effect. It’s a time for staying with tradition and not experimenting with new forms of social behaviors. The past triumphs.
Uranus void in Taurus
Actions are unconventional, radical, or surprising. Not everyone agrees on how things should go, therefore there is discord within groups. Others, who have a specific agenda, persevere to make their point despite fierce opposition. Social conditions are volatile now. The bottom could fall out. It’s a time for experimentation and deviant behaviors. Sudden, unusual, and disruptive conditions occur now that reveal deep inequalities in society and culture.
Neptune void in Pisces
Trends are unclear. Not everything is known, there is much to suspect. The fabric of reality seems to be ripped asunder. Faith in leadership is low. Social and economic conditions are unstable and subject to devaluations. The future looks uncertain and no one is taking any chances. Beliefs about reality are challenged. Some feel overwhelmed, even flooded, literally and figuratively.
Pluto void in Capricorn
There is movement toward displaying outright power. Tolerance and patience are pushed aside in favor of drastic actions. Old wounds are reopened and confrontations forced. Power plays occur. Secret forces make their presence known. Some seek to act on their urges, others attempt to stop them. Deep secrets are revealed. A collective cleansing is in order.

The void Moon occurs from 3:02, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing igns (a conjunction to Saturn), until the Moon enters Pisces the next day, Tuesday, March 1st, at 21:54.
This week: The Sun is in Pisces; Mercury is in Aquarius; Venus is in Capricorn; Mars is in Capricorn.
The Sun is in Pisces from February 18-March 20. With the Sun in Pisces, we are guided by altruistic feelings. We are less motivated to do than we are to feel, imagine, and dream. A “what will be, will be” attitude reigns, and we are guided by a sense of universal correlations. Pisces rules empathy, selfless love, devotion, and wisdom. Its shadow side can include self-pity, a feeling of being victimized by life, passivity, and elusiveness.
While we may not always verbalize our feelings and impressions during this cycle, they’re strong and motivating. We prefer to believe and trust, giving things/people the benefit of the doubt until they prove us wrong. We might often tune out problems or conflicts rather than tackle them head on, hoping they will iron themselves out. Prosperity flows when we’re connecting with our heart, being kind, and helping others. The need to withdraw or retreat to restore our energy is strong from time to time.
Mercury is in Aquarius from February 14-March 9. When Mercury is in Aquarius, we are hungry for knowledge and open to new and original ideas. We begin to think outside of the box, and our thinking becomes more progressive and objective. Our communication and thought patterns are spontaneous, somewhat fragmented, reasonable, objective, and liberal. This is a time when inventive thinking is at a peak.
We’re reasonable, finding it easier to separate intellect and emotion when assessing a situation. Although progressive-minded and receptive to new studies and information, we are not quick to sway from our ideas and beliefs. During this cycle, we take more interest in thinking that’s daring or original. As we envision a better future, we can come up with truly interesting ideas and concepts.
Venus is in Capricorn from November 5, 2021-March 6, 2022. [This is longer than usual due to the Venus retrograde, occurring entirely in the sign of Capricorn, from December 19, 2021-January 29, 2022.] Getting serious about our finances and boosting our relations with business partners and/or co-workers will be easier than usual under this influence. Our talents for creating artistic structure and form are enhanced, and our ability to form connections with people who support our ambitions increases.
We value enduring connections, reliability, and faithfulness. We take expressing our feelings seriously, and we take our time to warm up to others. We generally keep our “cool” in relationships. We’re steadfast and seek genuine, perhaps old-fashioned connections. It’s not a time for PDA, and we can be somewhat guarded and reserved with expressing our feelings or revealing our relationships.
The underdog who works hard can have their time in the sun now. We value slow and steady effort and long-term prospects. Reliability in others is most attractive.
This cycle favors getting along well with higher-ups, conservative business goals and ventures, long-term investments, and matters related to pension.
Mars is in Capricorn from January 24-March 6. Mars in Capricorn is deliberate, persistent energy. We consider the future and the consequences before taking action during this cycle. Our energy is reliable and faithful. We are slow to anger, but can be quite cold if we are frustrated. The shadow side of Mars in Capricorn is rigidity.
The NEW MOON occurs on Wednesday, March 2nd, 2022, at 12:35 PM EST.
The New Moon in Pisces marks the beginning of a new cycle, occurring midday Wednesday. The Aquarius New Moon cycle ends and the Pisces New Moon cycle begins.
The New Moon in Pisces is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Fish. These include taking a leap of faith, accepting imperfections in ourselves and in others as a different kind of “perfection,” starting a project that requires imagination and visualization skills, consciously putting time aside for peaceful and rejuvenating activities, and sharing a dream with another.
With this potent Pisces energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives.
This New Moon is especially warm, generous, and optimistic with its alignment with Jupiter. Its sextile to Uranus is progressive, open, and change-positive.
The major bodies are all direct, contributing to a feeling of moving forward. Venus, Mars, and Pluto are closely conjunct at the time of this New Moon, adding a dynamic and creative element to the energies of our new beginnings. Relationships can be at the heart of our new beginnings, fueling our motivation to start fresh. Mercury and Saturn are closely aligned, lending a serious theme to the energies of this lunation.
New Moon in Pisces Chart: March 2, 2022
This phase of the Moon occurs at 12 degrees and 7 minutes of Pisces, affecting people with personal planets and points at approximately 8 to 16 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) most significantly.
Sun in Pisces The mystic, the martyr, the sinner, and the saint: these archetypes take on greater importance in your life at a time like this. Forgiveness, compassion, and understanding come naturally, when you look at life from an eternal perspective – and if anyone ever does know such things, you’ll probably come to understand them as this cycle unfolds. This can be a phase of sublime spiritual development, to be sure. But you should be aware of tendencies to believe too quickly, too deeply, or to become dependent on things or people that seem to offer quick and easy answers to life’s deepest yearnings.
Mercury in Aquarius The tried and true doesn’t cut it anymore: it’s the new, the unique, and the original that catches and holds your interest now. Idealism, rationality, and critical thinking become more and more a part of your mental patterns and the way you communicate. You are inventive, original, high tech.
Venus in Capricorn Marry for money and then learn to love ’em: that’s what your heart tells you now, as a new cycle gets underway in your life. Does that sound cynical? Maybe so – but it does reflect the yearning you feel for security and stability now, and it suggests the kind of compromises you may be willing to make to accomplish these objectives.
Mars in Capricorn With this new cycle taking hold in your life now, taking charge and being in control become more important issues for you. You want to get things organized, and you have the initiative to do it. This is a time of ambition and responsibility, a time to keep your cool and pace yourself. Working hard is smart, but working smart is better.
Jupiter in Pisces Mysticism, sensitivity to the needs of others, and an awareness of karma (the link between the present and the past): these are your paths to spiritual growth now. Addressing these issues brings you gain and satisfaction at many levels. A tolerance for differences, an understanding of human frailties and shortcomings.
Saturn in Aquarius Ideals are in for a period of testing, as a new phase begins in your life. What are principles worth, unless they are put into practice? That’s an important question for you now. This could mean you may be disappointed by causes you believe in – but if you abandon your principles, you lose.
Uranus in Taurus Practicality and ingenuity combine as powerful drives in your life now that you have begun a new cycle. Taking innovative concepts and making them real and practical is your strong suit; getting stuck in the mud is to be avoided at all costs. Financial savvy, inventiveness, worldly genius.
Neptune in Pisces Things spiritual and psychic take the driver’s seat of your imagination as you begin a new cycle. The fine arts and all manner of fantasies assume a larger-than-life importance. Surrendering to fate, karma, and other powers greater than merely mortal may be seen as the ultimate liberation. If all is Maya (illusion), what is the reality that gives rise to the world of appearances?
Pluto in Capricorn As this new phase dawns for you, the pursuit of social/political power and status has a way of seeming necessary and inevitable – and let nothing stand in its way. It starts out small but has bigger consequences than you’d think. Ambition, responsibility, a place for everyone, and everyone in their place…

UN agrees to create 'historic' global treaty on plastic trash
Mar 02 2022
The rate of plastic production has grown faster than any other material and is expected to double within two decades, the UN says
Nairobi (AFP) - The United Nations on Wednesday agreed to start negotiating a world-first global treaty on plastic pollution in what has been hailed a watershed moment for the planet.
Nearly 200 nations at the UN Environment Assembly in Nairobi unanimously agreed to create an intergovernmental committee to negotiate and finalise a legally binding plastics treaty by 2024.
UNEA chair Espen Barthe Eide declared the resolution passed with a strike of the gavel as the assembly hall erupted into cheers and applause.
“We are making history today. You should all be proud,” said Eide, who is Norway’s climate and environment minister.
Map showing where scientific studies have found plastic in the seas and waterways since 1960, according to data from the Alfred Wegener Institute
Negotiators have been given a broad mandate to target plastic trash in all its forms -– not just bottles and straws in the ocean, but invisible microplastics polluting the air, soil and food chain.
- ‘Historic crossroad’ -
Supporters described the commitment to take united action on the plastic crisis as the most important environmental decision taken by the UN in years.
“We stand at a crossroad in history when ambitious decisions taken today can prevent plastic pollution from contributing to our planet’s ecosystem collapse,” said Marco Lambertini from WWF.
The amount of plastic trash entering the oceans is forecast to triple by 2040
The broad treaty framework approved by nations – among them major plastic producers like the United States and China – does not spell out specific policies, with particulars to be negotiated later.
But the scope covers the entire life cycle of plastic – a key demand of nations, businesses and environment groups – and could for the first time introduce new rules on the production of new plastic.
It also allows for the negotiation of new rules around the design of plastic products – which are made from oil and gas – to make recycling easier, encourage sustainable use, and spur better waste disposal.
“This is a clear acknowledgement that the entire life cycle of plastic, from fossil fuel extraction to disposal, creates pollution that is harmful to people and the planet,” said Graham Forbes from Greenpeace.
The mandate allows for binding and voluntary measures, and the setting of global targets and obligations, the development of national action plans, and mechanisms for tracking progress and ensuring accountability.
It also calls for financial assistance to help poorer countries take action.
- ‘Landmark’ decision -
The amount of plastic trash entering the oceans is forecast to triple by 2040, and governments have been under pressure to unite behind a global response to the crisis.
By some estimates, a garbage truck's worth of plastic is dumped into the sea every minute
The rate of plastic production has grown faster than any other material and is expected to double within two decades, the UN says.
But less than 10 percent is recycled and most winds up in landfill or oceans creating what Eide called an “epidemic” of plastic trash.
By some estimates, a garbage truck’s worth of plastic is dumped into the sea every minute.
Large pieces of plastic are a notorious peril for sea birds, whales and other marine animals. But at the microscopic level, particles of plastic can also enter the food chain, eventually joining the human diet.
Environment groups are buoyed by the broad scope given to negotiators but say the strength of the treaty is yet to be determined.
The first round of negotiations is set for the second half of this year.
Big corporations have expressed support for a treaty that creates a common set of rules around plastic and a level playing field for competition.
“This is a landmark decision by UN member states. A legally binding treaty that addresses the full life cycle of plastic will make a dramatic difference in the fight against plastic pollution,” said Richard Slater, chief research and development officer at British consumer goods group Unilever.
Big plastic makers have underscored the importance of plastic in construction, medicine and other vital industries and warned that banning certain materials would cause supply chain disruptions.

Pipe dreams: German village seeks future for Nord Stream 2
Mar 02 2022
Once defended by then chancellor Angela Merkel as a purely economic project that will bring cheaper gas to Europe, the controversial 10-billion-euro Nord Stream 2 pipeline has finally been canned by Germany over Russia's invasion of Ukraine
Lubmin (Germany) (AFP) - Once defended by the former chancellor Angela Merkel as a purely economic project that will bring cheaper gas to Europe, the controversial 10-billion-euro Nord Stream 2 pipeline has finally been canned by Germany over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
But the small German coastal village Lubmin where the pipeline comes to shore remains divided over Nord Stream 2, with some harbouring hopes that it could yet one day bring energy to Europe – though perhaps not Russian gas.
“I cannot imagine that such a huge and above all such an expensive project could just become industrial ruins,” Lubmin’s mayor Axel Vogt told AFP.
“I think there can be other solutions, if we look a little in the future, hydrogen is a major topic. Not only here in Germany, but in the whole of the European Union and also in other countries outside the EU,” he said, pointing out that it was technically possible for the pipeline to transport hydrogen fuel.
Vogt conceded, however, that it would take a while for the pipeline running under the Baltic Sea to find another life – with regulatory and legal procedures to run their course.
- Plagued by controversies -
Lubmin's mayor Axel Vogt Vogt said it would take a while for the pipeline running under the Baltic Sea to find another life
Nord Stream 2, which is owned by Russian giant Gazprom, had sparked an outcry among Germany’s allies even in the planning stages several years back.
The US and especially former eastern bloc EU nations had repeatedly warned against the pipeline that bypasses Ukraine and which they say would increase Europe’s energy dependance on Russia.
Merkel’s government had obstinately pushed on with the project, viewing Russian gas as necessary in Germany’s transition to a zero-carbon future, and construction works completed in September 2021.
But with warnings already rising of Russia’s impeding assault on Ukraine, the pipeline’s fate once again hung in the balance.
With Moscow refusing to withdraw its troops from the borders with Ukraine and instead pushing ahead with its invasion, Chancellor Olaf Scholz finally put a key certification process on ice on February 22.
A week on, compounded by an onslaught of sanctions against Moscow from Western allies, the Swiss-based Nord Stream 2 filed for insolvency, laying off 106 workers.
Vogt said only about a dozen employees were based at the site in Lubmin, given it was a “highly technologised” operation.
His local authorities have also not budgeted in the expected taxes for the coming years.
But he conceded that the controversies over the years surrounding the pipeline have weighed on investor sentiments, making some question if it was safer just to stay away from a site associated with the Nord Stream project.
Economy and Climate Minister Robert Habeck was more strident about it, telling public television it “would have been smarter not to build Nord Stream 2”.
- ‘Price of civilisation’ -
At the tranquil seaside village of just over 2,000 inhabitants, residents are still equally torn over the pipeline
At the tranquil seaside village of just over 2,000 inhabitants, residents are still equally torn.
Kerstin Ahrens, 60, said she was opposed to stopping the pipeline despite Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine, “because it’s such a complete waste of money.”
“It’s all terrible with Russia but I don’t find it good that we’re stopping it now,” she told AFP at the white sandy beachfront.
“Everyone had hoped that gas will be cheaper and now everything is more expensive, and there’s not all that much money up in this region,” she said.
Unlike Ahrens, another resident in the north-eastern Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania region, Heike Schulte, said the pipeline had to be halted “simply because the dependency to Russia is too great.”
And the 66-year-old says she is prepared to fork out more if that is the price to pay for ditching cheaper Russian energy.
“It’s the price of civilisation, we must live with it,” she said.
