Eclipse Aftermath CLARITY: A Rare Week of Real Breakthroughs for Venus, Mercury and Jupiter! · Cozy with the Cosmos with Astrologer Sarah Paasch

0:00
Hello and welcome back to our weekly astrology podcast where
0:03
we light our candles, get our blankets, get cozy and talk all
0:07
things cosmos. I'm your host, astrologer and
0:09
coach, Sarah Posh. And this week is bringing us
0:12
into honestly one of the best weeks of astrology maybe of this
0:16
entire year. There are so many good things
0:18
happening and so many things coming forward in a positive
0:21
direction as we turn the corner into the final week of this
0:24
eclipse cycle leading into the Pisces New Moon.
0:27
As always, we're going to just do that first quick transit
0:29
overview for the transits that we're going to be covering in
0:31
this week's episode. Before I do that though, I'm
0:33
curious, did you watch your rising sign horoscope from last
0:36
week's Virgo total lunar eclipse?
0:38
How are you feeling after that eclipse this week?
0:41
Feeling that Mars going into Pisces and also Mars is now
0:44
rising into visibility. I'm feeling that momentum.
0:46
I'm feeling a return of some energy and hoping that that
0:49
continues to be the case as we move forward into the year.
0:51
I know that for me, I have Virgo in the 12th house.
0:54
This is also my nodal return because I have the South Node in
0:56
Virgo, in the North Node in Pisces.
0:58
And this eclipse felt like there's so much going on in life
1:01
right now. I mean, yes, we are in a new
1:04
setting again and I am still not fully landed in the new space,
1:07
the new home. And that's OK.
1:09
I feel totally relaxed in the suspension through time and
1:12
space. But what it's helped me eclipse
1:14
in that Virgo 12th house is like there's no space for any inner
1:18
critic perfectionism bullshit right now.
1:20
There's way too much actual life happening, both personally,
1:24
collectively, and it's forcing this need to just stay totally
1:27
present, to be in the present moment and to be in the heart.
1:30
There's just no space for that inner critic.
1:31
There's no space for the overthinking.
1:33
And honestly, I love that. I love that for this Virgo
1:36
Eclipse. So thank you, Virgo Eclipse, for
1:37
eclipsing the inner critic and the overthinking.
1:40
That's not helpful in my 12th house, but I'd love to hear from
1:42
you too. Like, how are you doing?
1:43
Did you feel like you got to eclipse something that was
1:46
helpful, useful? Was there something that was
1:47
brought to a major completion and how are you feeling coming
1:50
into this week? Like I said, we've got Jupiter
1:52
stationing direct. We've got a Mercury retrograde,
1:54
Kazimi making an exact trying to that Jupiter that's stationing.
1:58
We've also got some really sweet stuff happening with Venus.
2:01
So even if things have been really hard, my hope is that for
2:04
me and for you, this week feels like that positive turning point
2:07
that I was saying. So let's start, let's get into
2:09
the overview and then we'll get into breaking down the transits
2:11
day by day. So we begin on Thursday, March
2:13
5th, we're going to the Moon in Libra, and this is the day that
2:15
we're going to get that exact Sun trying Jupiter retrograde at
2:18
15°. Then on Friday, March 6th, Moon
2:21
is going to enter into Scorpio later in the day, once Venus
2:25
already enters into Aries. So we've got Mars ruling Venus,
2:28
we've got Mars ruling the Moon. So relationships might get a
2:31
little bit hot, a little bit spicy come Friday.
2:33
And just to note, Venus is going to be in Aries from that Friday,
2:36
March 6th all the way through March 30th.
2:39
Then we're going to get into Saturday, March 7th.
2:41
The Moon is still in Scorpio, and this is when we get that
2:43
beautiful kiss of a Kazemi between Mercury retrograde and
2:47
Pisces and the Sun. This is happening at 16° of
2:50
Pisces. And on that same day, we get the
2:52
Venus conjunct Neptune at 1° of Aries.
2:55
And then on Sunday, March 8th, with the Moon still in Scorpio,
2:57
we're going to Venus completing that conjunction to Saturn at 2°
3:00
of Aries, and Mercury retrograde is going to complete the exact
3:03
trying to Jupiter retrograde at 15°.
3:06
This is also time back to a previous Mercury trying Jupiter
3:09
that we had before Mercury stationed retrograde.
3:12
If you'll remember, that was on February 16th, the day before
3:14
our first eclipse of this eclipse cycle.
3:16
So maybe something coming full circle, but we'll get into that
3:19
later in the episode. On Monday, March 9th, we've got
3:22
the Moon entering into Sagittarius and Venus making the
3:24
exact sextile to Pluto and Aquarius at 4°.
3:27
And then on Tuesday, March 10th, the Moon is still in
3:30
Sagittarius, ruled by the planet Jupiter.
3:33
And this is when we get that Jupiter station direct at 15° of
3:36
Cancer. Mind you, this is Jupiter's
3:38
degree of exaltation, so there might be some little bonus to
3:41
the blessings that Jupiter might start to bring as he starts to
3:43
bring momentum and energy moving forward again in Cancer.
3:46
And then on Wednesday, March 11th, the Moon is in Sagittarius
3:49
and it's actually going to complete that official third
3:52
quarter lunar phase square, the waning square to the Sun in
3:55
Pisces, initiating us into the final week and the final phase
3:59
before we get to the Pisces new moon and our next lunar cycle.
4:01
All right, I think we're ready. There's a lot of good astrology.
4:04
Let's talk about what's happening and how to work with
4:05
these transits. So let's go back.
4:07
Let's go back in time to the beginning, back to that
4:09
Thursday, March 5th and Friday, March 6th.
4:12
So we've got the moon and Libra and on Thursday the sun is
4:15
making that trine to Jupiter. Listen, a sun trine Jupiter is
4:18
one of the best astrology transits we can get.
4:20
So for election astrology, this is a great day to put things
4:23
into motion. This is happening in two water
4:25
signs with the moon in Libra in that antitia sister sign to the
4:29
place of Pisces. So there could be some sort of
4:31
relational turning point, relational blessing, some sort
4:33
of conversation or breakthrough that while it might be
4:36
emotional, it feels like the emotional and the vulnerability,
4:39
that's actually the very thing that we need to lean into in
4:41
order to get the most out of this transit.
4:43
So definitely on Thursday, wear your heart on your sleeve and
4:45
don't be afraid to be seen. Don't be afraid to put yourself
4:48
out there to ask for what it is that you really, really want.
4:51
Also something to kind of note is that Venus at the end of
4:54
Pisces, right before it goes into Aries, it's in this secret
4:57
opposition, a Contra Anticia to the Saturn, Neptune conjunction
5:00
in Aries. And this matters because this
5:02
brings in the beginning of what I was talking about this episode
5:04
where it feels like so many things are coming full circle or
5:07
there's a sudden helpful, beneficial perspective shift
5:10
that's happening. So if we imagine that there's
5:12
this secret polarity tension, the secret opposition that Venus
5:16
in Pisces is making with that Saturn, Neptune in Aries, as
5:19
Venus crosses and ingresses into Aries on Friday, moving towards
5:23
the conjunctions, all of a sudden Venus is standing side by
5:26
side. Venus is coming full circle.
5:28
And that perspective shift is giving Venus a chance to enter
5:30
into that conjunction with a little bit more grace, a little
5:33
bit more maturity and wisdom potentially.
5:36
Also, I've been talking in these episodes that a lot of what's
5:38
been happening and coming up in the last couple of weeks is
5:40
bringing this echo back from the astrology that was happening in
5:44
early 2025. Remember we had that Venus
5:46
retrograde in March of 2025 across this Aries, Pisces access
5:50
and also tethering together these outer planet shifts and
5:53
transits. So Venus made conjunctions to
5:55
Saturn and Neptune when they were in that balsamic phase
5:57
during that retrograde cycle last March.
5:59
And now Venus is back and they're a new territory.
6:02
Venus has gone through a complete retrograde cycle, has
6:05
come full circle. And now what started in March
6:07
2025 as a potential longing or a loss, a waking up or a
6:12
remembering to something that you truly wanted, something in
6:15
the relational field in our sense of joy or pleasure.
6:18
Something was coming in that was telling us we are ready to claim
6:22
something with more meaning, maybe even a more potential
6:24
spiritual connection is something that came through.
6:26
And I love that this week we get the Venus conjunct the Saturn,
6:29
Neptune, the sextile, the Pluto. What was coming to me were a
6:32
couple songs. So if you've ever heard the song
6:34
A Moment Apart by Odessa, it's actually on our Spotify playlist
6:37
for this lunar cycle if you want to check that out.
6:39
But what I love about this is this is my image for Venus
6:42
standing on the edge, this precipice of what feels like in
6:46
the intro, the suspension between the dream and reality,
6:50
the suspension before the beginning actually happens.
6:54
And then there's that drop, and that's Venus's entrance.
6:56
That's Venus's conjunction to the Saturn, Neptune and Aries,
6:59
and also the sextile to Pluto that's happening later in the
7:02
week. So we get that Aries feeling and
7:04
need for a pulse to move forward.
7:06
But this time Venus is doing all of this through conscious
7:10
empowered choice. Something's different.
7:12
And also it's creative, it's fun.
7:14
So I hope that we all feel a little bit like dancing into the
7:17
Venus and Aries. So if you don't know that song,
7:19
I encourage you to check it out. Let me know what you think if
7:21
you feel the Saturn, Neptune, the suspension in time, time,
7:24
longing, the dream, the moment before the drop, the moment
7:28
before the new beginning. And also remember, we were
7:31
talking about Saturn. So it might be that Venus
7:33
conjunct Saturn brings something to a completion or to an end.
7:36
There might be this readiness to finally let something go, to
7:39
walk away for good. And again, I think that plays
7:41
into the energy of these water trines between Mercury and
7:44
Jupiter where it's not necessarily super hyped, it's
7:47
not necessarily super fun, but there's something deeply
7:50
meaningful and deeply impactful and it's really supporting us
7:53
for the long term. So whatever decisions, whatever
7:55
commitments we're coming into on Sunday, these are really
7:57
important. Take them seriously.
7:59
Take your people seriously. On Monday, March 9th, that Moon
8:02
enters into Sagittarius again, ruled by that exalted Jupiter in
8:06
station. And Venus is going to make that
8:07
exact sextile to Pluto at 4°. So Monday is the song All Too
8:12
Well by Taylor Swift. And actually, I was reminded
8:15
when I looked up this song for the music video, I forgot that
8:17
she made that short film with an extended version of this song.
8:20
If you haven't checked that out, I highly encourage it.
8:23
I think this is so perfect for the Venus transits this week
8:26
because you see something that initially started as an
8:29
incredible wound, something that was incredibly hard and tender
8:32
and it was obviously life changing.
8:34
But the video when it comes full circle, when Taylor Swift
8:38
becomes the main character and steps onto the stage at the very
8:40
end, delivering this incredible creative body of work where she
8:44
alchemized. That's definitely a Pluto word.
8:46
It's like she alchemized all that pain, all that experience
8:49
and channeled it into personal empowerment and also raising
8:52
that empowerment, sharing her story to connect with others to
8:56
give a positive collective impact.
8:58
So think about that when you think about this Venus sextile
9:00
Pluto. On one hand, it's just sexy, and
9:02
on the other hand, maybe there's a moment where you start to get
9:04
curious or creative. How could you alchemize the pain
9:07
or the experiences that you've been through?
9:09
And also how could you raise them or share them to offer
9:12
maybe a potential impact on a greater collective level?
9:15
If nothing else, definitely let yourself dance on Monday with
9:18
that Moon and Sag and the Venus Pluto sextile if that's how you
9:21
need to move the energy and you dance it out because dancing can
9:24
be a very cathartic, helpful way for us to move intense energies,
9:28
move intense emotions. I would also like to say our
9:30
living chart work program, We did our Venus week last week and
9:34
there was quite a few Venus and Aries people in our group.
9:36
And I just want to say, I love you, Venus and Aries.
9:39
Like we need you. We need you to help us redefine
9:41
a lot of our Venus norms in society and collectively.
9:45
So if you have a Venus and Aries, how do you relate to it?
9:47
I'd love to hear or maybe just drop in the comments like, where
9:49
is your Venus? Do you love your Venus?
9:51
Do you relate to your Venus? I've got Venus and Sag, so I
9:54
love a good fiery Venus. All right, we digress.
9:57
Let's keep going. We're on Saturday, March 7th,
9:59
remember? Now we've got the Moon in
10:01
Scorpio, and this is when Mercury is making that exact
10:04
Kazimi, that inferior conjunction in its midpoint of
10:07
its current retrograde cycle. And that conjunction with the
10:09
Sun is happening at 16° of Pisces with the Moon in Scorpio
10:14
and this conjunction happening in a near perfect trying to its
10:17
ruler, Jupiter, currently stationed.
10:19
This feels like a moment of coming out of the fog, like
10:21
waking up to mirages. I was imagining somebody who's
10:24
been walking in the desert and they've been so thirsty for so
10:28
long, and they've been searching and searching and they've been
10:30
moving towards what they thought was a source of water.
10:33
But then as they're getting closer and closer, they start to
10:37
have a disbelief that it's actually real.
10:39
They start to question if it's actually just a mirage, and they
10:42
have a moment of hesitation, a moment of giving up.
10:46
But it's almost like in that moment, the moment of complete
10:49
surrender and acceptance, that the water source actually
10:53
becomes real and we're actually woken up out of the longing, out
10:57
of the dream, and given some sort of confirmation, some sort
11:00
of Kazimi clarity is arriving in the middle of this fog and might
11:03
be giving us back a sense of belief, a sense of hope.
11:06
There's also this sense because it's in Pisces, it's the place
11:09
where Venus is exalted. So it's an exalted heart.
11:12
There might be something that the heart remembers that the
11:14
mind forgot up until this point. So definitely take note what's
11:18
coming out through the fog. Or maybe the clarity is bringing
11:20
a new perspective shift. I'm looking back on everything
11:23
that's happened that's brought you to this point, and this is a
11:25
healing moment. It might might be emotional, it
11:27
might be tender. So make sure you've got all the
11:29
things that help you get cozy when you're getting into the
11:31
fields. And also this Mercury Kazimi,
11:34
this is reminding us that wisdom is what comes when we look back
11:37
on things that have happened. We reap the lessons, we revisit
11:40
the stories and the memories, but we do so from a more mature
11:43
vantage point. Again, from that place of
11:45
surrender of acceptance, but not closing the heart, actually
11:48
allowing it to open our hearts even further.
11:51
And the song that I was getting for this is Inner Bloom.
11:54
So if you've ever heard Inner Bloom by Rufus du Soul, it's
11:57
such a beautiful song. It's a classic.
11:59
The first half of Inner Bloom feels like it's a really
12:01
depressing song. Like it feels really sad, feels
12:04
like heartbreak and it's kind of circling you around and around,
12:08
suspending you in this atmosphere of sadness or of
12:12
heartbreak before there's this breakthrough moment and this
12:15
drop and inner Bloom, it drops actually into this beautiful
12:18
love story. And I am going to read you a
12:21
couple of the lines from the song, the lyrics, because the
12:24
other part of this kazimi on that same day, on Saturday,
12:26
don't forget, Venus is making that exact conjunction to
12:28
Neptune and Aries. So there's also this dreamy
12:31
romantic quality that's just compounding this Mercury kazimi
12:35
in Pisces. So listen to these lyrics.
12:37
This is crazy. It's so astrology good, so
12:39
aligned with this energy. Feels like I'm waiting, like I'm
12:42
waiting, watching for love. Dreams where I'm fading, fading
12:46
Feels like I'm dreaming, like I'm walking, walking by your
12:48
side. Keeps on repeating, repeating.
12:51
So free my mind, all the talking, wasting all your time.
12:55
I'm giving all that I've got. If you want me, if you need me,
12:58
I'm yours. So cute.
13:00
So definitely look out for some heart healing magic or some
13:03
healing perspective shifts, some wise new ways of understanding
13:08
that's bringing everything full circle on Saturday.
13:10
And then on Sunday, March 8th, we've got the Moon still in
13:13
Scorpio. And this is when Mercury is
13:14
making that exact trying to Jupiter.
13:16
Remember, this is the second trying in a series of three
13:18
because Mercury's retrograde. So you can think back to
13:21
February 16th of this year. Remember the day right before
13:25
our first eclipse of this cycle, what was coming up?
13:27
What information was coming through or maybe questions were
13:30
opening or conversations were opening.
13:32
Now where is it at? At this point?
13:34
Our clarity has just opened. The crescendo of eclipses is
13:37
starting to fade and settle, and now we reach a significant
13:40
turning point. It's a positive development,
13:42
even if that means it's coming through.
13:43
Because it's tender, it's emotional.
13:45
Remember, these are water signs. But it might just be washing
13:49
away the barriers to letting yourself move forward because
13:51
maybe you were holding on too hard, trying to grip some sort
13:55
of certainty or some sort of perspective.
13:57
Now it's not about being right. Now we get serious about who it
14:01
is we're committing to, what it is that we're building.
14:03
And we're building it with Sunday.
14:05
Not a day to miss on making those commitments to the people
14:08
that deserve your good heart, your time.
14:11
All right, let's get into Tuesday, March 10th.
14:13
So now we got the moon in Sag, still again ruled by Jupiter.
14:16
And on this day, Jupiter is stationing direct at 50° of
14:19
Cancer. Woo, ring the bells, ring the
14:21
Jupiter bells, let the balloons blessings off Jupiter.
14:24
A greater benefit has been retrograde.
14:26
And this is the point where we finally start to feel like
14:29
Jupiter and all the things it's trying to help us grow, heal and
14:32
build. Now we get some forward
14:34
momentum. So we've been feeling over the
14:35
last few months with that Jupiter retrograde that you've
14:37
kind of had to step back, maybe do some behind the scenes work,
14:40
some integration, some refinement on the things that
14:42
Jupiter expanded since the summer of 2025.
14:45
This last winter could have felt like a consolidation, almost
14:48
like we need to elevate the quality.
14:49
Before we could just add more. But now Jupiter stationing
14:53
direct. So look and pay attention.
14:55
What things are coming up around this Jupiter station?
14:57
Also think about the Cancer place in your house.
14:59
What house does Cancer rule and what things are you calling in?
15:02
How do you want to work with this Jupiter of these final few
15:04
months where we've got Jupiter in this really resource
15:07
position? What do you want to grow in this
15:09
area of your life and how can Jupiter help you?
15:12
By you acknowledging what your own potential upper limits are
15:15
to letting Jupiter help you, letting Jupiter bless you.
15:18
I also feel like this is going to be a sense of moving forward,
15:21
but without urgency, just like this knowing, knowing that yes,
15:25
we're ready, we're ready. We know where we're going and
15:27
what we want to build, what we want to create.
15:29
It's also growth without chaos and momentum without burnout.
15:32
And the song choice for this Jupiter station is Lanades Rd.
15:36
If you've ever heard The Road, it feels like you're driving
15:38
towards something that you already know is home and instead
15:41
of just staring at the road ahead of you, of just longing to
15:44
get to a place that feels like home.
15:46
Wow, that could be more perfect. My current situation, maybe by
15:49
this Jupiter station, we actually get on the road.
15:52
We feel like we're actually starting to drive, not only
15:55
because we know we have a deeper connection to what actually
15:57
feels like home for us, but we actually know what we need to
16:01
get us there. So definitely, if you haven't,
16:03
it's an all timer classic checkout Rd. by lane 8.
16:06
Maybe put it on for that Jupiter station to celebrate on Tuesday.
16:10
And then on Wednesday, March 11th, we've got that Moon in
16:12
Sagittarius making that exact square, the waning third quarter
16:16
square to the Sun in Pisces. And this third quarter phase,
16:20
the song that was coming to me, it's a little bit emotional.
16:23
It's Adele's Hello, and initially I was thinking about
16:27
Someone Like You, but I don't think that we're quite to that
16:29
moment yet. I feel like there's a nuance
16:31
about this third quarter lunar phase and how it's sitting at
16:34
the end of this eclipse cycle and this Mercury retrograde.
16:37
Adele's Hello is a song that's about looking back.
16:40
It's about acknowledging growth, recognizing distance, owning
16:43
what's changed. So this isn't a moment
16:45
necessarily a full closure, but we're reflecting across time and
16:49
we're revisiting our story with more awareness.
16:51
And remember, the third quarter lunar phase is always the best
16:54
phase for letting things go, for bringing things into completion.
16:58
And compounded onto all of that is that we're also ending this
17:02
astrological year. Pisces is our final sign in the

Zodiac before we get to that spring equinox next cycle.
17:08
And so everything is kind of pointing to this moment where we
17:10
take that, looking back, the emotional cathartic
17:13
understanding and the acceptance, the deep surrender
17:16
and now dissolving old emotional narratives, resolving old karmic
17:21
threads that might have come up during the Virgo total lunar
17:24
eclipse. Now, we might not actually call
17:26
the person from our past. We might just write a really
17:29
beautiful, intense fucking song about it and cry about it from
17:31
this new angle that's actually empowering because we're finally
17:35
ready to move on. We're finally ready to find that
17:37
closure. And I really think that's what
17:39
the moon in Sagittarius on Wednesday is ushering us into.

17:59
for the energies of this lunar cycle before we get into that
18:01
Pisces new moon, make sure to check out that Spotify link
18:04
below this episode. It's a custom playlist that I
18:06
made and I actually made this one intentionally to be played
18:09
on shuffle because this Mercury retrograde and this eclipse
18:12
cycle, it has felt like it is definitely shuffling all of us
18:15
around. So you can definitely check that
18:16
out. In addition to all those links
18:18
below this episode, like my one-on-one consultations, some
18:20
of those astrology products that I have for Saturn and Aries and
18:23
also that 2026 year ahead workshop that I did with
18:26
astrologers Whitney Crayons of Astro Arcana or Astro bestie and
18:30
also Alexander Blair of nine lives astrology.
18:32
Whitney also our Virgo moon resident queen.
18:35
She made this incredible custom digital workbook and that
18:39
companion workbook is included in the digital product.
18:41
Again, everything linked below this episode and I'm so grateful
18:44
for all of you being here, for all of your support on the
18:46
channel, the engagement in the comments.
18:48
I love getting to know some of you and getting to know some of
18:51
your charts. So thank you so much for
18:52
participating and for being here and supporting me and also
18:55
sending all of your wishes, your blessings for me to find that
18:58
home. Hopefully actually by the next
19:01
time we get to the next episode, I will actually have landed
19:04
settled into the new space that I am so ready to call home.
19:08
But for now, we're here and we can still get cozy.
19:10
We can still have our blankets and our candles, and we can
19:12
still talk cosmos. And then next week, wherever I
19:16
am, we're going to be here and we're going to get into the
19:18
final transits of this eclipse cycle.
19:20
And we're going to open the next lunar cycle getting into that
19:22
Pisces new moon, new lunar cycle.
19:25
So there's a lot to look forward to.
19:26
And I can't wait to see you back here with me next Thursday.
19:29
And with that, that brings us to the end of our episode.
19:31
Thank you everybody. I will see you next week.
