March is the month when the Astrological New Year begins, on 21st the Spring Equinox. This year there is a full moon in Virgo on 5th and solar eclipse on the 20th in the last degree of Pisces and then the Sun enters Aries to herald the new dawn of spring. There is also the last exact square aspect taking place between Uranus and Pluto. This clash of the giants, transiting Aries and Capricorn respectively, has been slugging it out since 2012, so expect some shifts regarding new ways vs old ways and future vs past. This takes place around 16th and 17th when the slow separation begins from this tense aspect, which can be vibrated and felt in time.
Aries Mar 21st-Apr 20th
You start the month with your fiery ruler Mars and gentle Venus in your sign. These two will transit Uranus and shake things up by offering you an exciting and trailblazing passage that will leave you with a new determination on how you want to run your world. Anticipate a surprise in the early days 4th/5th, step back, take the back seat and keep your head around 16th and enjoy the closing days from 18th when it will feel like a healing balm has been massaged into your ego. This comes just in time for the total eclipse when you can recharge, revitalise your internal sunlight. Then on the 21st, bask in your BRILLIANCE, you are the pioneer, of the new astrological year.
Taurus Apr 20th-May 21st
There appears to be so much going on behind the scenes, yet however covert people try to be the truth just keeps popping out revealing the state of play. Make use of this but also add a pinch of salt to the tales as someone just maybe trying to help you but do they have all the facts? You are feeling a tad misplaced from your usual grounded self on the 5th when the full moon in Virgo focusses on details you may not have , but this gives you the opportunity to a see a more visionary path, a slight fork in the road that could be a good spin-off or a project for the future. Allow your imagination to explore and discover a creative approach as when your ruler Venus enters your sign on the 18th your creative juices are more than idealistic ideas, they become a tangible design for your future structure.
Gemini May 22nd-Jun 22nd
So much is taking place in your working life and yet you are wondering if this is all talk…wait until after the 14th when things become clearer. That does not mean you just sit back and wait, your input is needed to shape the blueprint that is underway, a blue print to reshuffle a situation that requires care and your excellent communications. You are the person for this job, just be aware to encourage that adapting and adjusting are paramount to a smooth change. Once the smaller shifts are underway the bigger transformation can follow in calm and secure way that will benefit the well-being of many. By the 21st you should find that an arrangement which has hung around unresolved can also be tackled. The waiting time is over and your references are sound. Around the 15th when Saturn turns retrograde in your opposite sign be straight and begin to untangle the threads that hold you restricted, you can move forward to a clearer time once you are clear in what you want to happen and how that can benefit you personally. It is time to create an easier balance both at home and at work.
Cancer Jun 23rd– Jul 23rd
You are often underestimated, your sensitive and caring nature can be misinterpreted as a push over or you are a soft touch, but your business head is also ultra-sensitive and this month those that have misinterpreted you are in for a rude awakening. Granted you may have encouraged this misjudgement, but not through conscious malice or manipulation, but through your niceness and concern for others. But they have moved on, leaving you feeling a tad redundant…but as Pluto and Uranus go head to head on the 16th your business head returns, your astute knowing takes shape and your business judgement is back on form. It has been a tough time, but you have not just recovered, you are more sure of who you are and what needs to be done. You most of all have the strength and insight to bring things to a successful result…This month is a time to come out of your shell, go do your stuff, as only you can.
Leo Jul 24th– Aug 23rd
Things haven’t been too bad on reflection, but reflection can have time to heal and repair some unpleasant understandings. Now you are collecting the last bits of one particular data you are in a stronger and kinder space both towards yourself and others. This is the result from the internal work you have been working on. Not too many have been aware of the internal conflict you have been bringing together, merging and developing to create a more solid behind the scene organisation of who you are. This month you can celebrate a job well done, a mission accomplished, an undertaking that has paid off. As you move forward with your held high do take a moment to reflect back and by the 20th you will see how far you have travelled and how much you have gained. There could be a lovely surprise to validate you around 30th or this could be a beautiful realisation that the reflection you see is one you truly like.
Virgo Aug 24th-Sep 23rd
A full moon in your sign on the 5th highlights the need to look at a situation that needs your analytic perception. This doesn’t need an immediate resolution but it will require some thought to work out the plus and minus of a relationship to either develop it into something more meaningful or dissolve it gently into the past. Try to see your part in this, as the emphasis is on your choices not someone else’s behaviour. To do nothing is an avoidance, and that is the hall mark of anxiety, so this month work out what is making you anxious, then decide how you want things to develop, then communicate this in your open and truthful way. You can wrap it up however you want, pink bows if you are feeling romantic, red satin if you are feeling hot, or something of your emotional choosing. However you wrap things up your authentic emotion must shine through.
Libra Sep 24th-Oct 23rd
March finds you a little topsy turvy, well not you but someone around you is sending mixed messages that have you all in a spin. So how do you react? Try to go with the flow, try to respond by mirroring and reflecting back the shifts, try not to take them too seriously as it may just be an inconsistent method of getting your attention. At times you may become irritated, at times you may feel blessed but whatever you are feeling does rather indicate they have your attention. This can be rather mind-altering and could take your mind away from some mundane tasks, so stay anchored and do the stuff you need to do but also enjoy some exciting distractions. From mid-month you are getting in the swing of things and by the end you are running the show.
Scorpio Oct 24th-Nov 22nd
You are feeling on top of things but also waiting for developments to unfold. This begins early in the month where a positive quality enters allowing your more playful way to shine. You are in demand. Some surprise invites could throw you leaving you scratching your head on making decisions on where to go and who to go with. You can afford to indulge in a bit of self-choice, it doesn’t have to have any productive result other than you are enjoying yourself. Your wise counsel will be sought out around the 13th/14th. You will be at your most insightful, balanced with a deep compassion. This is a potent combination that will bring you the recognition you so profoundly deserve. By the 18th your attention moves towards your financial world and agreements, again you have the deep insight to know how to play it and come out not just winning but thoroughly liked too.
Sagittarius Nov 23rd– Dec 21st
You have moved on, but as Saturn turns retrograde in your sign on the 15th this could feel as if the past is still present, albeit in a ghost like fashion. We are history, but we are also present and future so a delayed situation may need to be cleared up or at least not ignored. This may come up as a surprise but if so then welcome the opportunity to take a last look at some part of your life as in a few months the present and future will be all the clearer for it. By being reminded around the 5th and 14th of what is working and what you may need to move on from will give you the space to make your plans, exercise the way to achieve your desires and free yourself from out grown restrictions. In between this you will be in a lighter frame of mind and making ways to find the time to relax and play. Again this month looks for a better balance for you to live the life you want, a new balance to incorporate more of you is underway.
Capricorn Dec 22nd– Jan 20th
Back in 2012 there started a process of massive changes, some were irritating, some disappointing but has brought you to a new space of understanding of what you can take forward and what you move away from. The last Pluto square in your sign to Uranus in Aries takes place on the 16th, this should make clear of your way forward. It may not be a sudden result but it should be flagged up and a green light indicating the way to go. Above all else be sure in your capabilities, your resilience and your vision. These qualities have been hard earnt, they part of who you are but you have also learnt to adapt, wait and know timing is so important. You have mastered these, now go out into the world wiser in its workings and wiser in your capabilities. By the 18th the softer side of life enters and you begin to relax into a easier way of living your life.
Aquarius Jan 21st-Feb 19th
What can take you by surprise this month? Your ruler Uranus squares up to Pluto one last time. As you have support this month you should also be guarded and careful around your finances as so much is going on the obvious could be overlooked. Yes, the changes are taking place but be careful not to go too far too soon. Some things can be adjusted or re-educated to the changes and if so it would be a shame to dismiss parts of yourself that can and will add to the changes you have planned. Watch for the odd push to move too quickly, things are building so quickly, but ultimatums are always in someone else’s interests. You are powerful this month, proceed forward, take what serves you well, educate what can be educated and stand back and watch the transformation you have waited for.
Pisces Feb 20th-Mar 20th
It’s not that you will be asleep for the first part of the month, but just buying yourself a little time before you announce yourself. Problems could arise as others may have written you off as they trail braze into the month, more fool them as they have miscalculated your tenacity and determination. They have done this as they have completely missed your style which is to firstly know what is going on, secondly wait to see how it all develops and thirdly, by the 20th with the full eclipse in your sign, you are ready to act. You will announce yourself, all in good time, as you know better than most that timing is everything. Your timing is spot on and the trail blazers will stand to salute you as the leader into the new way.
