The Moon’s Position on the Third Day After Birth
Maternus writes that on the third day after birth, a newborn begins to absorb its first nourishment.

Transiting Venus in Aries (March 6–30)
A planet’s position in detriment represents its fundamental debility: “If it is in detriment in relation to its domicile, it is like a person who is their own worst enemy.” In this particular interpretation, a planet in detriment indicates a certain degree of socially unacceptable behavior, excess, an inability to maintain wholeness, as well as a certain degree of corruption in what it represents.
