MARCH 1-7:
OVERVIEW:
There's the old adage that March either comes in as a Lion or goes out as a Lion. Despite the apparent climate change, I'd say that according to the stars, March shall come in more as a Lion and, hopefully, goes out as a Lamb :0 ! Pisces itself on first appearance seems like a peaceful, "go with the flow" kind of sign, which it often is. Howsoever, being the final of 12 signs, it also embraces so much more vital energy than one would expect. Thus, we never really know what the month shall bring. Let's keep in mind that, altogether, Pisces is highly intuitive & super creative (ruling dancers, photographers, actors, doctors, psychics and politicians); it's a chameleon capable of almost shape-shifting; and that unlike it's opposite sign of Virgo, Pisces seems to have no apparent boundaries. Its symbol of two fishes tied together but swimming in opposite directions should, however, give us pause. Deceit is the opposite side of the coin that, otherwise, holds so much promise. While Creative Muse Neptune is the planet that can bring about the greatest of fortunes, if we handle this energy selfishly we may, instead, suffer gravely. 

Of the four elements, March heralds a stellium of four planets in Water-sign Pisces (Sun, Messenger Mercury, Stern-teacher Saturn, and Creative Muse Neptune) + the Moon in Scorpio that starts off March! Next we have Love's Duo, Venus and Mars in unconventional, yet, humanitarian sign of Aquarius, along with Transformer Pluto also in visionary, high-tech oriented Aquarius. Then we have Good-luck planet Jupitar and Awakener Uranus in Earth-sign Taurus; while only after the first week in March is there a planet in active/expressive Fire signs, Communicator Mercury that enters enthusiastic Aries, ahead of the Sun!

The first forecast week has 5 days out of 7 featuring a sextile (+), which is a 60 degree aspect with complementary elements that, mainly, don't have friction with one another. Along with the better known trine and conjunction, these aspects are all considered favorable. Since there is little friction, we need to actively take advantage of the flow of. It's during this apparent (deceptive?) calm that there is an undercurrent of disturbance that becomes exact on the 2nd Saturday of March (March 9)...which is what makes me believe that March shall come in as a Lion. 


Starting with Friday, March 1, transiting Sun in compassionate Pisces sextiles generous Jupiter in Taurus: that's while the Moon is ending its course in personal and private, sexy Scorpio. These are amiable enough energies with which to end a work-week. Come Saturday (March 2), as the Moon enters risk-taking, yet philosophical Sagittarius, it forms a sextile with Change-agent Pluto in its early station in progressive Aquarius that thinks out-of-the-box. Enjoy this more pleasant day of the weekend, for come Sunday, March 3, Love-goddess Venus in modern-thinking, often extremist Aquarius squares Unpredictable Uranus in Taurus! Being flexible and open to the unusual may save the day for you. Even then, though Aquarius itself often surprises, it may not appreciate the kind that Uranus deals out.

Monday, March 4th, may still be under the spell of Planet-of-the-unexpected Uranus, but Mercury in Pisces, active on Monday, deals much better with Uranus's unconventional behavior. The Moon enters work-oriented and seasoned Capricorn later in the day; meanwhile on Tuesday, March 5, the forgiving Pisces Sun and Capricorn Moon collaborate with one another. 

Over-the-hump day Wednesday, March 6, Moon still in conservative Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces. We're at ease and follow the routine of our "daily grind" without undue complications. Moon later enters detached/objective Aquarius. Soon enough on Thursday (March 7), the out-of-step Aquarius Moon squares Jupiter in Taurus. Jupiter, ruler of the 9th House of higher education and law, may cause someone to take a preachy, self-righteous stance if some boundary has been crossed. It's around this time, too, that some of us may feel disturbing vibes of Action-planet Mars in Aquarius nearing Awakener Uranus in Taurus. There may be trouble-makers that surreptitiously are plotting to put someone out of one's comfort zone. Since CHANGE is the name of the game--and during March we can't always tell from where the winds of change will blow--consider how you might negotiate or compromise with someone who's been rubbing you the wrong way for some time now. At least think about how to near a win-win situation.

MARCH 8-14:
As the weekend approaches, we continue feeling pressure. On Friday, March 8, i.e., Messenger Mercury conjuncts nebulous Neptune, which can be disorienting at best or deceitful, at worst. There are, however, those that under such an aspect, and specifically during Pisces-time, have learned to decipher correctly messages sent us from the Universe. Here's a chance to practice listening to our intuition that may be advising us in how to unravel complex situations and issues, especially dealing with relationships. The transiting Moon in Pisces emphasizes this possibility.

Then on Saturday, March 9, dynamic Mars squares off with often-unaccountable Uranus in also-stubborn Taurus. Watch tempers, yours as well as someone else's; take care, too, to avoid possible accidents. These vibrations and/or their fallout may be felt through the remainder of this week, especially as the Sun/Moon align to form the upcoming New Moon. On Saturday,, too, Communicator Mercury now enters enthusiastic, passionate, and possibly impulsive Aries. What's more, all three major religions, Christian, Judaism, and the Muslims celebrate important holidays this month. 

As per each New Moon and Full Moon, emotions surge. The Sun and Moon come together at 19 degrees Pisces. In this case, as good luck would have it, both Lights sextile Planet-of-the-unexpected Uranus, encouraging us to look toward an unconventional approach or source to assist making decisions and changes. This would be a good time to list some short-term goals to strive for in the interim before the Full Moon, a lunar eclipse this time in Libra, come March 25. The New Moon on March the 10th shall be most important this time because no one on Earth will for a time see the Moon! Then in a while there shall appear the sliver of a crescent Moon when Ramadan shall start, continuing through the Lunar Eclipse later this month and ending the fasting with a Full Moon Solar Eclipse come April 10. Best wishes.

Moving on to Monday, March 11, Love-goddess Venus leaves one-of-a-kind Aquarius for the sign of the romantic, Pisces! At this point Venus leaves behind her cohort Mars, still at 21 degrees Aquarius. The Moon on this Monday remains in speed-loving, ardent Aries. 

March 12, a Tuesday, through Thursday (March 14) have only Moon-contacts to work with, though the after-affects and fall-out of earlier happenings continue to be felt.  This Tuesday, Moon enters steady and practically-oriented Taurus...good for making progress toward the goals started under the New Moon. The next day (Wednesday, March 13), transiting Moon joins up with Jupiter that brings us opportunities, as well as helpful people. Ceres, nurturing asteroid, sextiles Disciplinarian Saturn now through the next week, encouraging us to help or accept the help of another. 

There's a bumpy stretch come Thursday, March 14, as practically-oriented Moon in Taurus meets up with high-tech & visionary Mars in Aquarius. As transiting Moon slips into the more outgoing, communicative Moon in restless Gemini, harmony is reestablished. 

MARCH 15-21:
Before we move on, a word or two re Love-goddess Venus in Pisces, since Venus entered this sign just last Monday (March 11), after the Full Moon. Venus in Pisces will be foreshadowing the Sun entering exciting and excitable Aries just this week. "In romance, Aries is both passionate and idealistic, red hot and totally in love, or still waiting for "the right one" to rock its world. This sign won't settle just for anyone. Even when you've found each other, Aries keeps its independence. But you'll get lots of space, too; though that does not mean you're free to wander. Maintain your independence and your zest for life. Aries needs an equal and exciting partner (M.Collins, "Dining by the Stars, An Astrological Cookbook," p.5).

Meanwhile, the Moon enters congenial & loquacious Gemini on Friday, March 15, and sextiles Messenger Mercury already in Aries. Over the weekend (March 16, 17), starting on Saturday, the talented, multi-tasking Gemini Moon trines Action-planet Mars in also-Air sign Aquarius--time to explore some favorite haunts within one's neighborhood. Bring along your blood-relatives! 

Then, Sunday, March 17, Sun in late Pisces joins Pisces's ruler Neptune. Since Pisces sets no boundaries, avoid over-indulgence in alcohol or other such substances, taking care even with prescription medication, since we're super-sensitive now. This aspect tends to make us more aware of others and instils the desire to help them. Or we may just feel drained and prefer to withdraw from the material world. Instead we may prefer music or another form of artistry, or meditation to soothe our souls. As Moon enters family-oriented Cancer, the comforts of home and our close, intimate circle beckons.

Monday, March 18, the only aspect on hand is Moon-in-Cancer's sextile to Awakener Uranus, encouraging us to find answers in out-of-the-norm solutions. At the same time, we're warned to hold off on making decisions or judgments because of next week's Full Moon Lunar Eclipse when new, additional information will come to light!

Next day, Tuesday, March 19, Moon enters proud Leo, a Fire sign, preparing us for the excitement of tomorrow, Wednesday, March 20, when Sun leaves the more personal-and-private, intuitive world of Pisces for direct, dramatic, speed-loving Aries, with its favorite color of Red! "Spring has sprung!" could be our motto now. As the intrepid Leo Moon squares generous Jupiter, feeling exuberant, we may overstep boundaries and in some way over-extend ourselves. Carefully exult -- is that even possible-- in Spring-follies as the Sun enters the astrological New Year in Aries! Today and Thursday (March 21), Sun in Aries immediately sextiles Change-agent Pluto in Aquarius. We're "feeling our oats," whatever our age! Use the positive energies of this aspect to do spring-cleaning or make other changes to "spiff" up your life! Though for many, March has more solemn spiritual meaning, too, with Easter coming super early this year, the 31st of March.

MARCH 22-31:
Starting with Friday, March 22, as if to temper springtime feelings, Mars leaves rebel-rousing Aquarius for "go with the flow," Pisces, mellowing what follows. Mars in Pisces, in time, tends to wear the opposition down, like water, constantly, dripping on stone! Moon, meanwhile, enters opposite-to-Pisces sign of practically-oriented and analytical Virgo, who also knows how to enjoy the comforts of life. Now we have both inspiration (Pisces-ruled) and hard-work that makes our dreams come true (Virgo!). All set for the upcoming Full Moon, but to be kept reined in, since this remains cautious pre-eclipse time! Oh, and, by the way, today, too, features lovely Venus conjunct disciplinarian Saturn, another aspect that seems contradictory but can work in our favor. Venus is a good antidote for dour Saturn, while Saturn gives structure and longevity to the love that Venus desires.

Saturday, March 23--day before Palm Sunday for Christians--begins the Hebrew Festival of Purim that lasts through March 24 for many, while also into Monday, March 25th, for the faithful in Jerusalem. Purim celebrate the salvation of the Jewish people in the ancient Persian Empire. Fortunately, the day remains endowed with the positive vibrations of yesterday; that's while the Virgo Moon trines Planet-of-the-unexpected Uranus.  Surprises are more likely to please, than otherwise! 

Then on Sunday, March 24th, Christians celebrate Jesus entering Jerusalem & Purim holds over into today for the Jewish faithful. Aspect-wise, Venus sextiles Good-luck planet Jupiter! Jupiter not only rules faith and hope, but also legal affairs (of the 9th House), as well as accentuating Love and Romance. Faith, Law & Love, also are favored under the present-day's Libra Moon!

And, Lo, the Full Moon, a Lunar eclipse, at 5.07 degrees Libra rises Monday, March 25! In general, Full-moons are tension-ridden as Sun and Moon oppose one another, signifying the meshing of two points of view and our efforts at their balance. The eclipse brings about new revelations that need considering. Since this is a Lunar Eclipse, it shall affect our personal and private lives, more so than public standing and goals. Those whose planets fall between 1-10 degrees in Cardinal signs of Aries, Libra, Cancer, and Capricorn, would especially feel repercussions. 

More about eclipses: Whereas, the Solar Eclipse that fell in late degrees of Aries last April 20, urged us to be more assertive re our individual needs, this Lunar eclipse stresses for us to concentrate on new, improved ways for interacting within relationships, all kinds of relationships! Look to wherever Aries (Sun) and Libra (Moon) are found in your chart and this will indicate areas that need balance. Presently, the Libra Moon "has the ball in its court." We should look to be more fair-minded, negotiate, compromise, and, in general, be more forthcoming with one another. 

Tuesday and Wednesday (March 26,27), we're still under the effect of the Lunation, of course. This Tuesday, too, the Moon in Libra is contradicted by Communicator Mercury in Aries that likes to do things his way. Next day, Wednesday, Moon enters intense, mystic, and, oh, so sexy, poker-faced Scorpio. This is complementary energy for the dynamic Mars in sensitive and creative Pisces. Our feelings and actions are "in sync!"

And then, March 28, for Christians Maundy Thursday, when the Last Supper took place and Jesus washed the feet of his disciples, Love Goddess Venus in compassionate Pisces sextiles Awakener Uranus. This then, should be a memorable day for those that wish to honor and adore their Savior. In general, Look to unusual and unexpected people and sources to show us the way. In love, strive to pleasantly surprise and interest a loved one.

Friday, March 29, and the upcoming weekend (March 30, 31) we're sort of in the middle between still noticing and experiencing the Lunar eclipse in Libra, while being aware that there's a New Moon Solar Eclipse coming up on April 8 in the sign of Aries! In other words, to keep our options, minds, and hearts open. To help us do just that Sun in pioneering Aries trines, for the entire three days, the philosophizing world-wanderer, also fiery Moon in Sagittarius! The Moon, in addition, sextiles Change-agent Pluto in Aquarius enticing us to experiment with changes we want to make. 

Then Saturday, March 30, at the home base, though, there's some tempering or restricting of enthusiasm, as the Moon meets up with stern-teacher Saturn in Pisces. By Sunday, March 31, also Easter for many of the world's faithful, astrologically this is a quiet time aspect-wise. We may have taken on extra on responsibility (yesterday's Saturn contact) and have "a plan" to resolve problems, as the Moon, still in risk-taking but also religion-honoring Sagittarius, trines Communicator Mercury in Aries. Best wishes not only for a Happy Easter but to all those that follow the three special religions of this world.
