The month of March is full of intense planetary influences and changes. It offers us the opportunity to reevaluate our lives and how we think. In addition it gives us the push to move in a new direction. The planets can act as little instructions: showering down on the earth messages and hints of how to increase our awareness, move towards higher consciousness, and evolve spiritually. However many times our greatest growth can come through crises. March begins with the Sun conjunct Uranus on the first, an energy of change and perhaps not all going as expected. Then the next day Mercury goes retrograde, however it isn’t just ordinary Mercury retrograde, Pluto, the planet of deep transformation is involved, pushing us to go into the dark recesses of our own thought and behavior mechanism. Saturday the 4th Jupiter, the planet of optimism and exuberance goes retrograde, shining upon us the thoughts of wanting something bigger and better. On Sunday the 5th Venus, the planet of what we love and value, moves back into Aquarius finally moving past her “shadow” from the retrograde that began in December. You may find issues that came up around your friends and lovers resolved at this time. The lunar eclipse falls on March the 14th, it is reflects the question; how do we have balance in our lives, how do we work, and still have time for growth and spiritual development? An internal awareness of wanting that resolution but not making changes towards it can create health and stress issues. The 20th is the spring equinox, a burst of optimistic energy asking us to put into our lives the activities we love and that bring us joy. Travel and adventure is highlighted, as is physical activities you can enjoy outdoors, take that yoga class out of the studio and onto the fresh lawn. Saturday the 25th Mercury moves direct, enabling us to implement some of the ideas that had been brewing internally. The Solar eclipse on Wednesday the 29th is a time for new beginnings in what we are doing, what we want, and how we express ourselves.

Aries (March 21 - Apr. 19)
With the Solar eclipse in your sign it is a time to step back and rethink what you want and how you want to get there. Your old patterns of thinking may no longer support you; you can meet someone new that has a completely different perspective on your situation. The competitive side of you may need to step out but pay attention to what the true message is saying. Do you really feel that someone is trying to “get one over” on you? Or is it just your perception of the situation? You may find that simply by stating your truth and letting it go what you want will fall into place without the struggle or conflict, what a concept! You may feel held back until the 20th, then a breath of fresh ideas comes your way and the universe is supporting you to move forward.

Taurus (Apr. 20 - May 20)
Conflict and struggle that may have begun in late September or early October can be coming to a conclusion. Jupiter is moving retrograde in your house of partners, there may be a change of influence from those you work or live with. Look for opportunities to stretch and grow professionally, there could be a side of you resisting change, create a mantra for yourself that empowers you to make the changes you want, and quiets the voice in your head that is sabotaging your efforts. This is a good month to look at your long term desires around financial responsibility, eliminate or consolidate debts, and make sure you feel that you own your belongings instead of being trapped by the payments and the belongings owning you.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Lots of your friends may be going through personal change or even chaos in their lives. You will be giving them support and even information on how they may improve their situation. Remember to take the time you need to rest and rejuvenate. The first two weeks in March is excellent for going through your home and cleaning out all the clutter that has accumulated, donate those old clothes and gadgets that are hanging around and getting in the way. Mars is moving through your sign, so take advantage of the warrior energy to get things accomplished. If you have only been thinking about a new exercise and diet routine now is the time to take action.


Cancer (June 21 - Jul. 22)
You may find yourself susceptible to many emotional influences this month. Your work environment could be full of deadlines that can’t be completed, too much to do in too little time. Remember to breathe and focus. This is an especially important month to eat healthy; you know the foods that take you away from your center, make friends with your body and ask it what it needs, then listen, even negotiate for your favorite treats with a healthy dose of what your body wants. March is an excellent month to learn to communicate in a way that is more powerful, not placing blame, or justifying, or explaining, simply allowing yourself to communicate what you want, how you feel, then letting it go.

Leo (Jul. 23 - Aug. 22)
If you are prone to drama you may find your world very interesting this month. Whether you bring the drama into your life by your actions, or if it just seems to follow you and announce unexpectedly “hey let’s do drama!” (as if it was a good idea). The choice now is to evaluate whether you are in a situation you want or how did you get so far off track from what you said you wanted? Go back and rethink and reevaluate if you still want the same dreams, if not it is time to recreate new ones. Look at your debts this month and see if you can’t get rid of the unnecessary problems. A power struggle with a younger person or child may erupt by the end of the month; look at the situation from the other person’s perspective.


Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22)
Problems in your relationships may erupt this month. It could be with your significant other or people you work with. This can be a great gift of a spiritual exercise to see how their behavior is something in yourself you have and don’t like, or something that you are judgmental towards. You have been undergoing much transformation the last few years and it still continues. The full moon on the 14th is especially significant to you. Find more harmony and balance in your life. Make the time to take care of your needs and create more time for the activities that allow you to grow spiritually and mentally. If you have gotten away from your diet and exercise routine this is the month to reclaim it.

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22)
Situations around your work may come up that you feel are unfair. Think of the big picture; ask yourself what is the benefit for me in having this situation? What is the universe trying to get me to do? Do you want a different job but have a list of reasons why it is not the right time to change? What are you afraid might happen? What are your biggest fears? Is there anyone in your life that you need to “retrain” them how to treat you? Getting back to the gym, taking a yoga class, in general getting in shape is being supported by the universal influence. Venus moving back into Aquarius bodes well for romance and having fun.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 22)
There is much chaotic intensity this month that you could drink in and enjoy. Be conscious that you aren’t pulled into the negative side of the vibration: arguing and power struggles over situations beyond your control. With Jupiter at its power position on the 4th in your sign, take time to meditate and project to the universe what you want to manifest. Your love life heats up this month, long talks getting to the heart of the matter can stretch into many a late evening. Saint Patrick’s Day can be full of surprises. It is an excellent weekend to take off with your sweetheart and enjoy the depths of each others company.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)
What is your dilemma between work and freedom? Do you want a cozy home or life of adventure? How much do you value your independence or someone to dream with? These are the questions the universe will be asking you to answer. Is it time to break away and start anew? Or will you simply bring the same problems to a different place? The beginning of the month you may find yourself being pulled into fights that just are not worth the time or effort. Save your strength for something that you really believe in. The ushering in of spring will be a breath of fresh air, you may want to get out of town but circumstances could hold you back. Get out of the house and explore someplace you haven’t been to yet, even if it is simply a new bistro or coffee shop.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)
There can be a turn around in your finances this month. Money may come through that was held up, or you find a way to earn a little extra. Look at where you are spending your money and make it be a conscious choice that it is something you will be able to use or will help you. New plans can be presented at work, or more likely changing from the old, then changing back again. So many fools, when are they going to grow up? Even though it may be a waste of time as you see it, they simple need to learn it the hard way. Do you ever do that? Lighten up and have some fun with the mistakes, it will all pass. A friend may show up in your life that gets to the core of who you are without you expecting that. Spend the time to develop the relationship and see where it goes.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)
Venus goes back into your sign showering you with a little pleasure. Nothing that is earth shattering or immensely huge, just a hint here and there to appreciate the simple pleasures of life. Fill your world with the little joys, your favorite muffin, meeting friends for lunch, and an afternoon off to do your errands when everyone else is working. Work can go well for you this month, if you are in a position to expand and ask for more now is the time to do it. If you are contemplating making a career change, wait until Mercury goes direct on the 25th, but take the month to get the entire scoop on the new company or industry that you can. Frustrations or blocks that you may have felt financially could take until the end of the month to clear up. Work from the spiritual side for abundance, look for a book or course that teaches the principles of wealth coming from thought form.

Pisces (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20)
Happy Birthday Pisces. What an intense month we have for March, it means that your year can be intense and full of changes. Change can be good, this is the year when you can consciously create the reality you want. Many opportunities will present themselves for you to expand your spiritual awareness and growth. Various classes, courses, and workshops will whisper to you. Listen to your internal whispers and follow the inner knowing. Become conscious of your internal critical voice that is holding you back, pay attention to how you are feeling, and if it isn’t joyful or pleasant, change your actions do something different until it is. This is your time to step away from what you don’t want and move towards your dreams.
