Now that we have made it through the Lunar Eclipse, March’s next hurdle is Mercury Retrograde, which begins at 11:46 p.m. Pacific time on March 14, 2025. As always, it’s wise to back up your electronic devices when Mercury, the planet of communication, is deviating from its usual path forward. For Substack writers, here’s how to back up your Substack posts and subscriber list.

, Pisces III: Every New BeginningTurner wraps up Astrologers’ Co-Op’s year-long collaborative series on the decans. Weekend Entertainment Guide started in March 2024 when the decans series did because Astrologers’ Co-Op writers (I wrote Cancer II) were encouraged to link to other Astrologers’ Co-Op pieces on their own social media. I appreciate Turner’s leadership on this project!
, The Jupiter-Saturn Square: a Moment of International CrisisAnderson looks at the Jupiter-Saturn square that has been ongoing since summer 2024, noting how it is playing out in Donald Trump’s current efforts to restrict immigration.
, Greek mythology and Myers-BriggsFrauenfelder connects the Myers-Briggs personality types to gods and goddesses from Greek mythology. When I take Myers-Briggs tests, I score either INFP or INFJ — I am close to the P/J midline but solidly INF. That means I correspond to the NFs:
NFs: Hephaestus (INFP), Persephone (INFJ), Prometheus (ENFJ), Aphrodite (ENFP). These are the Idealists.
I have, over the past few years, noted significant correspondences between my personal life and the stories of Persephone and Prometheus.

What’s going on with Bitcoin?
Bitcoin has had a rough month. The current Lunar Eclipse in Virgo emphasizes a difficult configuration in Bitcoin’s natal chart, Saturn in Virgo opposite Uranus in Pisces. Bitcoin, like any surly teenager, is now experiencing a Saturn opposition — having lived half a Saturn cycle, the teenager comes up against the constraints of the adult world. The Trump administration has been paying more attention to crypto lately, but so far being taken seriously has mainly resulted in Bitcoin getting dragged down along with the volatility in the non-crypto markets.
However, transiting Saturn in Pisces will eventually move on. Then, by the end of April 2025, transiting Jupiter in Gemini will start to square Bitcoin’s natal Saturn-Uranus opposition, which is likely to lift its price.
