ASTROLOGY: Year of the Wood Rooster
March 3, 2005

By Arlan Wise

The Chinese New Year, and LOSAR, the Tibetan New Year, began on February 9, 2005. In their system of astrology, this is the year of the wood rooster, or bird. When the five elements and 12 signs combine, the cycle is 60 years, which makes 2005 resemble 1945. Wood rooster years are fertile ones, crops are good, and any business connected with wood or metal thrives. It’s a year to stay near home and strut around the yard.

The written materials on wood rooster years make it sound very Saturnian. There’s an emphasis on law and order. It’s a year to straighten up, pay off your debts, and put your life back into order. This is the year for strategic planning. It’s a good year to lose weight, reduce your excess, and be frugal. The rooster is called the taskmaster, one of Saturn’s names.

The negative writings speak of an unusual number of earthquakes. It is an unlucky year for marriage. Roosters don’t like water and so businesses concerned with water don’t do well. It will be a slow year for the fishing industry.

You are a rooster if you were born in 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993.

Mercury turns retrograde on March 19. Use this time well so you can coast through the three Mercury retrograde weeks.


Thursday, March 3 Moon in Sagittarius. This is an energetic day when you’ll feel ready to climb mountains. You need to address the conflict of what you can actually accomplish versus what you dream of doing. You will have to face the consequences of overdoing if you don’t think before you act. It’s a day when you’ll want to go over the top.

Friday, March 4 Moon in Sagittarius, VC from 4:45 pm until 5:12 pm when it enters Capricorn. This is another high-energy, somewhat restless day with a promise of artistic breakthroughs. Venus and Uranus come together to shake up your love life. They want to give you one of those special moments you’ll always remember. Take a risk and let it happen. Mercury enters Aries, making it easier to say what you mean.

Saturday, March 5 Moon in Capricorn. It’s a first-rate, serious day to take care of work, errands, chores, and responsibilities. Do all the work today; tomorrow is a VC day. You’ll be able to follow your list and schedule and zip along from morning to night, accomplishing and achieving. Words have healing power today; you can find the right ones to help a friend.

Sunday, March 6 Moon VC Capricorn, enters Aquarius 6:49 pm. VC Sundays are a true day off. Relax. Follow your favorite Sunday routine. Chill out.

Monday, March 7 Moon in Aquarius. Mars stands opposite to Saturn today, making this a day of reckoning. Think of yourself as a crash test dummy and today is the test that shows how secure you’ve made your life. It’s hard to move with speed or try to enter new territory without great frustration. Today will feel like walking in the deep snow.

Tuesday, March 8 Moon in Aquarius, VC from 10:28 am until 7:32 pm when it enters Pisces. The VC energy adds to yesterday’s feeling of running up against a wall. It does give you discipline and the ability to keep your focus. Get up early to take care of what must be done today. Take it real slow for the rest of the day. Catch up on reading trade journals and newsletters.

Wednesday, March 9 Moon in Pisces. The mysticism of Pisces colors the day. Your right brain is enhanced. Let your imagination flow. It’s not the time to catch up from the beginning of the week. It’s a day for art, poetry, and music. Tonight is the dark of the moon, because it’s Pisces, it’s a night for breaking through to the other side.

Thursday, March 10 Moon in Pisces, VC from 11:44 am until 9:03 pm when it enters Aries. New moon in Pisces is a magical day. Listen to spiritual music. Spend some time and effort to doing volunteer work. Help someone who is in need. Visit an elderly friend or neighbor. Help a sick or overwhelmed friend. Write a big check to the tsunami fund. Meditate on the sea.
