Noted Chicago astrologer Anne Nordhaus-Bike returned to the Frank Fontana Show on WGN Radio yesterday to talk about the major astrology that's coming later this month and in early April.
Throughout the program, she and host Frank Fontana discussed why this time of year is so powerful and how to use its energies to improve our lives. They also took many calls and texts from listeners and shared simple ideas for overcoming stressful times and welcoming in better times.
Why This Month Is So Powerful
"Every year, we start a brand new spiritual and astrological year in March," Nordhaus-Bike explained. "This happens around March 20, when the Sun enters Aries. That's the first sign of the zodiac, and it's the start of a new year for all of us. This year, the Sun will go into Aries on March 20 at 5:46 p.m. U.S. central time."
March 2015 will be even more powerful than usual, however. "Since 2012, we've been forced to adapt and change because of the ongoing series of tough alignments between the outer planets Uranus and Pluto," said Nordhaus-Bike. "The last of seven alignments happens this month, on March 16, so the energies will be very high as we lead up to that time."

How to Make the Most of This Month
Once again, callers jammed the lines and sent in numerous texts during the show. While talking with callers and answering texts, Nordhaus-Bike talked about current planetary placements and key dates when planets—and energies—will shift. Also, she and Fontana shared several ideas with listeners about the power of thought and how to shift from difficult energies to a more positive and hopeful life.
As Nordhaus-Bike told one caller, "We have the Sun in Pisces right now. So if you can focus spiritually and pay attention to your dreams—what is your dearest dream that you would love to see?—if you do the visualizing now, you're going to be so strong when the planets and energies change in April."
