PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY March 3 2025 to March 9 2025 Monday March 3 The Academy Awards Last night, the stars in LA appeared on the red carpet in their designer outfits. Although the Academy Awards present us with a world of glamour and success, sitting through that ceremony can't be much fun... not to mention the discomfort of some of those outfits! Today brings a chance for us less glam folks to shine. With Mercury joining Venus in the fiery sign of Aries, by focusing on what touches our hearts, we can find the kind of inner satisfaction that Hollywood success rarely brings. Tuesday March 4 Pancake Tuesday It's Shrove Tuesday, a day in the Christian calendar where all the ingredients in the kitchen cupboard are traditionally used up ahead of Lent. Celebrated around the world, although The Mardi Gras carnival in Rio is considered to be the biggest party, some of us will make our own entertainment by tossing pancakes (and trying to avoid them sticking on the ceiling!). Dynamic Mars, now direct, brings the energy to get creative. In everyday aspects of our lives, we can find ways to have fun. Wednesday March 5 Bunny Alert Whether or not you raided your kitchen cupboards and had fun making pancakes yesterday, or you just treated yourself to something deliciously sweet, we're in the season of Lent; the 40 days leading up to Easter is traditionally a time for reflection. And today, the planets are encouraging us to do just that. It's the perfect moment to think about the direction we wish our lives to take. As Mercury (intellect) links with transformative Pluto, we can find inspiring ways to instigate positive life changes. Thursday March 6 Michelangelo's Vision It's Michelangelo's birthday. When he sculpted David, over 500 years ago, did he have any idea about the impact his work would have - or the controversy he was creating? Even today, we're astonished by its perfection - and some people are still affronted by its nudity. He'd probably be astonished and delighted to know that a chunk of marble was still having such an impact! With Mercury (intellect) in fiery Aries, we can all access ideas that have a lasting, positive impact on our world. Friday March 7 Your Weekly Love Focus Horoscope It's International Women's Day tomorrow. And with great timing, the planets are aligning in a way that encourages us to pay attention to the people in our worlds (no matter their sex), who don't get the recognition they deserve. The link between the Sun and power planet Mars motivates us to take action that reflects our gratitude. And Pluto's involvement brings potential transformation. By showing appreciation for people we normally take for granted, this weekend will be extra special. Saturday March 8 Your Weekly Horoscope Although it won't be visible everywhere, the coming Lunar Eclipse dominates the week's cosmic outlook. Since these celestial events always happen in pairs, it will be followed, a fortnight later, by a Solar Eclipse. The first opens a portal, and the second closes it. So, get ready to allow new energy into your life. Old rules can be broken and new agreements can be reached. By drawing on past experiences, we can create positive change. There's magic in the air! Let's make the most of it! Back to Index           Oscar and Cainer's Daily Zodiac Forecasts
