Seven planets move through Pisces at different times in March, followed by Mars at the end of the line, which might stir things up, on or after March 22. For the last several weeks we have had all the planets except the Moon bunched up in a four-sign segment of the zodiac. In March it is Aquarius through Aries. This happens frequently. In the Marc Edmund Jones (1888-1980) classification system of patterns this is called a Bundle. If everything is in one hemisphere it is called a Bowl, and if there is one planet on the opposite side (the handle, or singleton) it is called a Bucket. There are other classifications such as the Locomotive and the Splay.
Most but not all charts fit into one of these categories. The Splay is kind of a catch-all for charts that don’t conform to any of the other types. This is a helpful guide to horoscope interpretation. Read more about it at Astro.com, Chart Patterns acc. to Marc Edmund Jones – Astrodienst.
Anyhow, right now, with everything all bunched up here, you would think nothing is happening in the other signs. Aquarius, Pisces, Aries and Taurus must be having all the fun. Or, all the trouble depending on how you look at it. I have to come up with something when I give a forecast for the empty signs. Here is how I do it. See what aspects are formed with the Sun in each sign. And with each sign as ascendant (1st house). Example: If a person has a Leo ascendant (empty) then the planets in Aquarius (7th house) will affect that person’s current experience with partners. The planets in Taurus (10th house) will affect his career or reputation. The planets forming aspects to the natal Sun, wherever that is, will be important.
Much depends on the person’s ruling planet and outstanding natal aspects. (The ruling planet is the natural ruler of your Sun sign or your ascendant.) Also, how real circumstances appear today or next week. It’s all according to how you look at it. As I have told you in the past, my disclaimer and the bottom line is: You have your own soul plan and you may or may not be conscious of it. You have free will and you make the final decisions. Then of course, you face the consequences of your decisions. Then you learn and grow. If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice. –Rush, Freewill.
