LAURA'S MARCH 2024
MYSTICAL MIDLIFE READING

What is North Node Astrology?

How March’s sky weather affects you will vary, depending on your entire natal chart, but your North Node Horoscope transcends monthly sky events. That’s because your North Node reveals what your soul came here to do. By midlife, the soul starts longing and pressing us to live our true purpose. At first, it whispers through intuition. Then it knocks a little louder through “coincidences” and external events. When not heard and honored, the soul’s longing can show up as health crises, marriage or work issues, or wondering “is this all there is?” If you feel a need to reinvent yourself, following North Node guidance helps you do that authentically — for you.

Unlike generic Sun Sign horoscopes, which ignore so many other aspects, following North Node guidance will always lead you in the right direction. Doors open, healing happens, relationships improve, and life gets more magical. This quarterly column will help you tap into your personal North Node Mojo. When you start living your North Node purpose, we all win, because you not only begin to light up your own life. You light up the world.     

You can find your North Node sign here which is often different than your Sun sign. If you’re right on the cusp, consider both possibilities or book a reading for more clarity.

"Meeting Laura feels like a divinely inspired connection. I met her during a pivotal time in my life and she helped guide me back from the brink of despair due to Late Stage Lyme Disease and deep wounds from trauma. She not only helped to save my life, she helped me find a new life and a new way of being. Laura opened my eyes to many new worlds, including the world of astrology and the North Nodes. My life began to change quickly as I discovered parts of myself I didn't know existed. Midlife is a powerful time of self discovery and the North Nodes are a glittering North Star to follow to discover who you're meant to be, versus who have have been told to be, in this lifetime. Working with Laura and learning about my North Node in Leo was like opening a treasure box to discover a world of unknown gifts from my soul. She's a rare treasure bringing a grounded and centered approach to astrology. I highly recommend a one on one session with Laura, particularly at Midlife!"

SMOOTH SAILING IN MARCH! WHO KNEW? PREPARE FOR AN APRIL DELUGE!

MARCH 2024 FORECAST

With all planets in direct motion from January 27 through April 1, March 2024 offers smooth sailing, powerful inspiration, and creative energies. Prepare and troubleshoot your ark, and enjoy this productive ease before April’s deluge. 

March 1 Sun in Pisces sextile Jupiter in Taurus. An expansive day of generosity and big picture awareness. Pay attention to financial opportunities and any dreams or visions about the future.

March 3 Venus in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus. Venus in Leo squared Uranus in Taurus three times last year, so today’s tension could feel familiar. Instead of friction involving your own personal relationship restrictions, today’s energies focus more on group relationship dynamics. Frustration and irritation alert us to imbalances. Approaching the friction with curiosity can lead to a more liberating solution. Manage reactivity in order to make the most of this blessing in disguise.

March 4 Mercury in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus. Pay attention to intuitive messages, especially if they arrive in dreams. This is a wonderful day for any creative projects, since Uranus offers a stroke of genius. 

March 8 Mercury in Pisces conjunct Neptune in Pisces. A good day to tap into the bigger picture, but not for details. Embrace the power of prayer and meditation. It’s also a powerful day for creative projects, beautification, and practicing Reiki and Feng Shui. 

March 9 Mars in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus, on the same day that Mercury enters Aries. This day is volatile! Somewhat mitigated by the Sun in Pisces sextile Uranus. You can negotiate for better terms, but try not to use words as weapons. A desire for freedom pervades the collective, but beware of engaging or creating a kind of group tyranny. Aim for evolution rather than a so-called “organic” revolution due to social engineering. 

March 10 New Moon in Pisces, 5:00 a.m. Eastern U.S. time. The Sabian Symbol for this New Moon point “(PISCES 21°): UNDER THE WATCHFUL AND KIND EYE OF A CHINESE SERVANT, A GIRL FONDLES A LITTLE WHITE LAMB.” Dane Rudhyar further elaborates: “a vision of WHITE HOPE, a hope for a future that can only be felt, almost naively.” Mercury in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius. Communication takes a more intense turn, as secrets spill. Beware of spending too much time online.
 

March 11 Venus enters Pisces. Finally some relief for those of us who’ve felt clobbered by Saturn in early Pisces. Venus is exalted in Pisces–the sign of unconditional love and empathy. Venus in Pisces brings the highest form of romance and beauty.

March 17 Sun in Pisces conjunct Neptune in Pisces. While this could be a truly inspirational 24 hours, St. Patrick’s Day shines light on the planet of alcohol and addictions. Beware of overindulgence, porous boundaries, fuzzy logic, and deception. Not all is as it seems, and today’s tall tales rival Jack’s magical beanstalk. If you’re writing poetry, song, or fantasy, these energies sparkle. If you want to deepen meditation, prayer, and unconditional compassion, today’s your day. If you want to nail down details, sign documents, or delineate clear concepts, save those for some other time.

March 19 Sun enters Aries, 11:48 p.m. Eastern U.S. time. For much of the world, Vernal Equinox occurs on March 20. Also on March 20, Mercury exactly conjuncts Chiron in Aries. The zero Aries point brings an annual cosmic reset, and this year’s focus turns to healing. 

March 21 Sun in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius, and Venus conjunct Saturn in Pisces. Today’s energies bring quiet intensity. Deep commitments arise, along with a chance to deepen creative projects. Venus conjunct Saturn is an excellent transit for artists, since Venus rules beauty and the arts, and Saturn in Pisces brings form and structure to beautiful, yet nebulous ideas. Light could shine on secrets and other hidden things, but the Pluto sextile offers gentler energy than most Pluto transits.

March 22 Mars enters Pisces. The planet of action, willpower and war starts hydroplaning in watery Pisces. After the buzz of Mars in Aquarius, things slow down and turn surreal. As Mars in Pisces natives know, this transit favors indirectaction and Divine timing over ego directed time. We can best use the period between now and April 30 to move forward in spiritual pursuits, meditation, creative projects, and acts of unconditional compassion. Arguments could arise over deception and/or boundary violations, but these conflicts will unfold in nonlinear ways. We can also more easily and efficiently prepare for outer world events using dreams and receptivity, rather than to do lists and intention.

March 24 Venus in Pisces sextile Jupiter in Taurus. An expansive and optimistic day filled with love, harmony, and beauty.

March 25 Full Moon in Libra and Lunar Eclipse, 3:00 a.m. Eastern US time. The Sabian Symbol for this Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is “(LIBRA 6°): A MAN WATCHES HIS IDEALS TAKING A CONCRETE FORM BEFORE HIS INNER VISION.” Dane Rudhyar further elaborates with a “KEYNOTE: The need to visualize clearly one’s dreams or ideals in order to make them truly effectual. … It is a phase of INTERIOR FORMULATION in preparation for a creative projection of one’s ideals or concepts.” Libra connects with beauty, harmony, relationships, and the arts. While eclipses aren’t usually the best time to try manifestation, this one offers powerful opportunities to co-create in partnership with unseen, yet very real energies.

March 28 Venus in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus. Look back to March 3rd when Venus in Aquarius squared Uranus in Taurus, and pray for solutions to any relationship, self-esteem, or creative restrictions that arose back then. Surprising developments could arise in relationships and creative projects. Run sudden insights through the lens of love and beauty, and see what shakes loose!

You can find your North Node sign here which is usually different than your Sun sign. (If you’re right on a cusp, consider both options, or book a reading for more clarity.)

LAURA’S 1ST QUARTER 2024 MIDLIFE NORTH NODE READINGS

ARIES NORTH NODE

First Quarter 2024 offers mixed energies for you. The transiting North Node and Chiron continue activating your North Node sign, while anything moving through Capricorn eventually squares your nodal axis. Pay attention to friction or frustration, because these alert you to codependent behavior and indecision. You can use that awareness to launch yourself forward as planets transiting Aquarius activate major breakthroughs. So-called world leaders demand increased war, but you can model the more positive side of Aries. We need new leaders with backgrounds in peacemaking, art, and love. When you empower yourself, you make our world a better place. The Sun enters your North Node sign on March 19th. It’s time to light up!

TAURUS NORTH NODE

Early 2024 demands a change from past to future orientation. This quarter offers supportive energies from anything moving through Capricorn or Pisces. Things moving fast through Aquarius eventually square your nodal axis, bringing course corrections to any off path moves. Meanwhile, slow moving Pluto in Aquarius asks you to release that which no longer serves. You might need to find your own balance between technology and staying grounded in your body. When in doubt, walk in nature, hug a tree, and eat healthy, nourishing foods. You don’t need to rush, Taurus. Your limbic system thanks you for slowing down. The next few months could feel unstable. Find a routine that feeds your body, mind and soul.

GEMINI NORTH NODE

First Quarter 2024 brings supportive energy from anything moving through Aquarius and Aries–like a warm wind beneath your wings. If the past six months ushered in a lot of change, resist the urge to nail things down again. Indecision could highlight a both/and situation instead of the need for one, single path. For example, two part-time jobs might give you more opportunities than an all-encompassing career, or maybe you just need more flexibility. Let curiosity and delight lead your way. You can try on many hats and temporary situations, experimenting to see which ones give you better options. You’re entering a whole new world, Gemini. Allow yourself to play. It feeds your soul and invites more allies.

CANCER NORTH NODE

If you’ve pushed forward at a relentless pace, then early 2024 encourages you to curl up and nurture yourself. You need to allow the tide to go out before it can return. Everything moves in cycles, and you can’t manage everyone all the time. Anything moving through Pisces and Taurus offers gentle support for Cancer North Node natives. When planets move through Capricorn, they’ll eventually conjunct your South Node, making you aware of old patterns that no longer serve. Other people interpret your stiff upper lip as coldness, so don’t forget to show you care. Sometimes loved ones want to help but don’t know how. A little vulnerability goes a long way in bringing the support you need. Let people love you.

LEO NORTH NODE

First Quarter 2024 brings the action, Leo! Your North Node sign’s ruler–the Sun–moves through Aquarius, your South Node sign, along with Mercury, Venus, Mars and Pluto. Old friendships, coworkers, groups or social causes could reappear. If they do, ask yourself, “Do I benefit from these people or situations?” It’s not enough to go along just to get along. You matter. Who or what makes your heart sing? Release the ones that don’t. Those with early degree Leo North Nodes will most feel Pluto’s Aquarian transformation, but the entire quarter activates your nodal axis. Jupiter and Uranus also square from Taurus. Whenever friction arises, ask yourself, “Where am I not being fully authentic?” When in doubt, go bigger, bolder and brighter.

VIRGO NORTH NODE

Your South Node sign–Pisces–gets a workout in early 2024. With the Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Neptune there, it’s a good time of year to release addictions and negative habits. Are you scrolling too much? Numbing out? Saturn’s presence in Pisces tells you to develop more discipline. You’ll need to release anything or anyone triggering brain fog, depression, or distraction. Beware of burnout. Daily effort brings steady progress, and this approach keeps you from overdoing things. When you can’t get motivated, chunk your goals into smaller, more tangible steps. With all the insanity in the world right now, you might feel empathy overload. Spend time in nature and remember to practice good energy hygiene.

LIBRA NORTH NODE

Intensity continues but dials down a notch for most of you. Anything moving through Capricorn will eventually square your nodal axis, urging you to commit to more love, peace and harmony. Those aren’t just platitudes for Libra North Node natives: love, peace and harmony engage your highest self-expression. Pay attention to friction and frustration. These remind you to slow down and consider loved ones. Instead of isolating, tap into your ability to draw individuals together. Look for commonalities and shared values. Anything moving through Aquarius will eventually trine your North Node, bringing new opportunities and empowering you to seize them.

SCORPIO NORTH NODE

2024 begins in a powerful way, with supportive energies from anything moving through Capricorn and Pisces. Both of your North Node sign’s rulers–Mars and Pluto–enter Aquarius this quarter. If you’re off path, irresistible forces will trigger a course correction. Meanwhile, Jupiter and Uranus continue making their way through your South Node sign of Taurus, liberating you from old restrictions and situations that keep you from regeneration and rebirth. Working with the energies attracts more alchemy and less perceived destruction. Magic and healing want to reveal your destiny. When you release that which no longer serves, a tsunami of Love arrives.

SAGITTARIUS NORTH NODE

Mercury stations Direct in your sign on January 1st, so pay attention to any sudden downloads or big picture realizations. If something seems fuzzy thru January 9th, tune into your intuition to guide you. Aquarius transits bring inspiration and bold ideas to expand your reach, while anything moving through Pisces can trigger emotional tension or test your faith. Use any challenges to refine your overall philosophy of life. Then, teach others what you’ve learned. If you feel bored or penned in, embark on an adventure–through travel, education, religion, or all of these combined. Opportunities for healing and liberation arise. When you feel led, act! A change of scenery does you a world of good.

CAPRICORN NORTH NODE

First Quarter 2024 feels pivotal for Capricorn North Node natives. The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars move through your sign, while Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus empower your goals and bring leadership opportunities. The transiting North Node and Chiron in Aries urge you to re-frame overly emotional reactions into more determination to succeed. Some of you will need to grow up, and some of you will need to allow others to mature. You can’t save everyone. Nor are you supposed to! You need to lead by example. Pluto leaves late Capricorn for Aquarius on January 20th. Those who’ve managed intense death and rebirth cycles can now anchor new structures and traditions.

AQUARIUS NORTH NODE

On January 20th, both the Sun and Pluto enter your North Node sign. Only those with early Aquarius degrees will feel direct impact from Pluto, but you’re ready for some kind of revolution. You don’t need to lead in order to succeed. Focus on group activities, friendships, and a higher cause. With Sun and Mercury moving through Aquarius, you’ll gain insights about any friction last quarter. Uranus–the Ruler of your North Node sign–also stations Direct in Taurus on January 27th. Then Mars enters Aquarius on February 13th, followed by Venus three days later. If you’ve felt stuck, you can expect things to move forward in sudden, unexpected ways this quarter. It’s your season!

PISCES NORTH NODE

First Quarter 2024 lights up Pisces, especially late February thru March with the Sun and Mercury in your North Node sign. Saturn, Lord of Karma, continues to demand spiritual discipline. Pay attention to any messages that arrive on February 28th, especially if they come through meditation or dreams. You have some lovely support from anything moving through Capricorn and Taurus. Allow and receive, Pisces! If Spirit doesn’t think you should have someone or something, trust that guidance. Sometimes no means “no,” but sometimes no just means “not yet.” And sometimes no means: “Dear One, you’re thinking way too small. I want to shower you with love and blessings.” You are so deeply loved. Open your heart and welcome the Divine.
