Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. — Harriet Tubman
The month opens with a six-planet rolling stellium in Pisces (Sun, Saturn, Mercury, Moon, Neptune, Venus and the North Node). The concentrated planetary activity in Pisces at the beginning of the month gives us the opportunity to dream big dreams. Everything begins with a dream, an idea or a spark of intuition. The first part of March has that imaginative, intuitive, creative energy in abundant supply.
The activity and energy shifts in the second half of the month when the emphasis moves to Aries. Aries energy is an active, dynamic, courageous and, sometimes, aggressive energy that is perfect for charging ahead toward your goals.
Some major, important shifts this month are:
- Venus stations retrograde on March 1.
- Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse at 24 Degrees Virgo on March 14.
- Mercury turns retrograde on March 15.
- Partial Solar Eclipse of the Sun at 9 Aries on March 29.
- Neptune moves into Aries on March 30.
March 1: Venus Stations Retrograde at 10 Degrees Aries. Venus retrograde in Aries brings out issues of independence (Aries) versus cooperation (Venus). It also speaks to the need to re-evaluate what you want from life. You can actively and courageously pursue your dreams once Venus turns direct on April 14. Then, when Venus re-enters Aries on May 1, you will be ready to act on your dreams. The more you plan now, the more successful you will be at that time. Ask yourself:
- Are my actions and daily conduct in tune with my values (not someone else’s values)?
- Am I meeting the needs of those close to me? If you no longer wish to meet their needs, what is the best way to withdraw from the conflict?
- Do you want more love in your life. If yes, what can you do to attract a lover, friend or other supportive person into your life?
- Does my financial situation reflect my values? If not, what can I do to improve or change my financial situation?
March 2: Sun Square Jupiter at 12 Degrees Pisces/Gemini. The Sun square Jupiter infuses us with a sense of optimism and confidence. However, it can also bring overconfidence, overoptimism and overload. The warning is that too much of anything can be problematic. Be wary of doing too much and vow to listen to, and honor, others’ opinions under Sun square Jupiter.
March 3: Mercury Enters Aries. Mercury in Aries speeds up your thought processes and your communications. Your mind may be revved up like a race car, and your words rush out before the brain is engaged. Take part in physical activity to slow your racing mind. Mercury in Aries is ideal for thinking up new ideas. Jot such ideas down, or you may forget them under this supercharged energy.
March 5: Mercury Sextile Pluto at 3 Degrees Aries/Aquarius. There may be lots of talk (Mercury) about deep psychological ideas and issues (Pluto) when Mercury is sextile Pluto. Mental health breakthroughs may be in the news now.
March 8: Sun Trine Mars at 17 Degrees Pisces/Cancer. It’s hard to sit still when the Sun is trine Mars. You want to take action and make things happen. Sun trine Mars brings problem-solving ability and the potential for big accomplishment. You may be more reactive now, so count to 10 before engaging in conflict.
March 11: Mercury Conjunct Venus at 8 Degrees Aries. Social (Venus) conversations (Mercury) easily flow now and there is a spirit of compromise and agreement in the air. This is an optimum time for a gathering with your friends or for other social events.
March 12: Sun Conjunct Saturn at 22 Degrees Pisces, Sextile Uranus at 24 Degrees Taurus. Whereas Sun square Jupiter on the 2nd brought a sense of optimism and invincibility, the Sun conjunct Saturn brings you down to earth. Saturn is reality, restriction, discipline and rationality. Though you may be prone to feeling limited, depressed and fearful now, the Sun conjunct Saturn is excellent for sound judgment, steady accomplishment and success in overcoming obstacles. Patience is the key to overcoming any obstacles.
March 14: Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse at 24 Degrees Virgo at 1:54 AM EST. Sun Conjunct Saturn Sextile Uranus at 24 Degrees Pisces/Taurus.
Expect the unexpected with the Sun and Saturn sextile Uranus. Use the few days before and after this Virgo Lunar Eclipse to:
- Declutter and organize your physical surroundings.
- Release old habits and routines that are no longer useful.
- Detox and release old emotional hurts, grudges and traumas.
- Trust your intuition and honor your dreams.
- Practice inner peace.
March 15: Mercury Stations Retrograde at 9 Degrees Taurus. Use Mercury retrograde in Taurus to take another look at your finances and to prepare a new budget. It is a good time to take a personal finance or investing class. Because Taurus rules both money and love, Mercury retrograde in Taurus may bring old relationships to the fore. Unresolved issues with past relationships or money matters. may pop up again, giving you another chance for a permanent resolution. You will begin to see the positive results from the changes you made when Mercury turns direct on April 7.
March 19: Sun Conjunct Neptune at 29 Degrees Pisces. Your intuition, imagination and creativity are soaring to new heights now. Record your dreams and ideas. When the Sun enters Aries tomorrow, you can begin to implement the best of those ideas.
March 20: Sun Enters Aries. Each year there is a big shift when the Sun enters Aries. The Sun in Pisces for the last month was focused on feelings of compassion, and connection to your fellow earth inhabitants. When the Sun is in Aries, action, agression and competition predominate. It is time to fight for your beliefs.
March 21-25: Sun Conjunct Venus and Sextile Pluto at 3 Degrees Aries/Aquarius. As the Sun moves through the sky, it conjuncts Venus, and then Mercury and then all three of them form a sextile to Pluto. Look for intense interactions (Pluto) with others of like mind (Aquarius). Your survival needs are amplified now (Pluto) and you are ready to fight (Aries) for what you love and value (Venus.)
March 27: Venus Retrogrades Into Pisces and Conjuncts Neptunes at Zero Degrees Pisces. Things and people may not be what they appear to be when Venus moves backward to conjunct Neptune in Pisces. This would be a good time to enjoy a concert, film or candle light meditation session. Set your new Moon intentions now while your intuition and sensitivity are heightened.
March 29: New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse at 9 Degrees Aries at 5:57 AM EST. Saturn Sextile Uranus at 24 Degrees Pisces/Taurus. The New Moon is always symbolic of new beginnings. The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries is especially geared toward big shifts and startling new beginnings. It’s time to forge a new path despite the obstacles and challenges around you. Saturn sextile Uranus fosters exciting, unexpected breakthroughs (Uranus) with the potential to manifest, due to Saturn’s steadying influence.
March 29-30: Neptune Enters Aries, Conjunct Mercury at Zero Degrees Aries. Neptune’s historical entry into Aries brings a compassionate, gentle strength combined with courage and activism with the desire to make a difference in the world. The last time Neptune was at zero degrees Aries was in 1861 at the time of the US Civil War. Neptune will be in Aries until early spring of 2039. Here are some things to look for when Neptune is in Aries.
- Crumbling and dissolving of old structures.
- Expansion into wider, more multi-dimensional consciousness.
- Old politics, economies and religions fall away – they struggle to maintain their power base.
- Young people take over with new ideas and new problem- solving methods.
- Your identity and sense of self becomes more empathetic and intuitive.
- New understandings about mental health, the human brain and psyche, drugs, addictions, illness, neurological discoveries, medicine.
- Artistic and creative endeavors will thrive.
- More water events: floods, water purification methods, etc. Water will definitely be in the news.
