March 20 sees us enter a new calendar year, bringing with it the fiery energy of Aries and a chance for a fresh start
ARIES
Happy Birthday, early Rams! This month, your ruler Mars enters Gemini. With Mars in Gemini you are speedy, chatty, and eager to learn. Utilise this energy to expand your ideas and amp up your physical momentum by trying new things. There is an emphasis on collaboration and finding people to help you reach your goals. Sharing isn’t always your strong suit, you’d much prefer to get things done yourself – but remember to pay it forward and reep rewards from the connections you make. Towards the end of the month, the Sun and Venus enter your sign, amping up your ability to be recognised and received well. Use your birthday season to speak loudly and proudly about your creative projects as the celestial bodies are working beautifully in your favour.
TAURUS
It’s time for you to closely inspect your self-esteem, and get into the habit of treating yourself with love and kindness. With the Sun shining in the sign of Pisces, you can use your imagination to work in favourable ways. Ask yourself, am I envisioning the worst-case or best-case scenario? How can I be better at directing daydreams? You are a natural artist, dear Taurus, and it's time to embellish your innerworld by giving yourself more attention. Lucky for you, financial assistance is in store in March, and your mind will not be so sharply focused on your bank account. Expect momentum and change, as all the planets are direct, pushing you to go out and learn new things.
GEMINI
With both the North Node and Mars in your sign for the month of March, you are treading on highly charged territory, presented with fated events and a sense of understanding that destiny is calling. What needs to be cut from the big picture of your life? Mars shining in your sign might make you a little more temperamental than usual, but gears you up to battle against any obstacle in the way of success. It may seem like there is a divine intelligence working through your relationships and career movements, all asking you to step into a space of greater self-ownership and individuality. This is a fabulous month for your work, dear Gemini, and you have everything it takes to take your work to the next level.
CANCER
If February brought up some interpersonal drama, March offers you a reprieve and calm. It’s time to restore your energy and incubate in your wildest dreams. With the Sun shining in psychic Pisces, you are more intuitive than usual, so be sure to tend to the vision you have for your life long term. It’s an optimal time to pay attention to your dreams and lean into those quiet intuitive nudges about the direction you are heading in. Warrior planet Mars is activating your career sector, opening the road ahead and putting you in a position of greater authority in terms of how you are received by the world at large. When the Sun enters fiery Aries on March 20, you will be boosted to a new pinnacle of self-ownership.
LEO
With the Sun radiating in imaginative Pisces for most of March, you are given an overabundance of creative inspiration. You already have a sunny, romantic vision of life, and the Sun in Pisces helps add to your idealistic world view. It might be hard to find room in your busy schedule to put all your ideas into action, so try and take some time for yourself. Venus is shining through your house of friendship and community, making you in demand and opening the doors of probability and potential in your existing networks. Take some time to slow down before the astrological new year on March 20, when the Sun embarks on a brand new cycle in fellow fire sign Aries.
VIRGO
With the Sun radiating in your opposite sign Pisces, your relationships to others are emphasised. You are learning the art of surrendering control and it’s important to identify when other people's problems are simply, not your problem. You need a break from overthinking and luckily the stars are ushering you to adopt a more romantic perception. Love is in the cards for March and you may meet someone who forces you to feel rather than think. Existing relationships are imbued with greater emotional reciprocity and romance. This is a great time to open up and let your hair down, give yourself the gift of fun.
LIBRA
March is asking you to spruce up your spiritual practice, and try out new methods of healing. It may be time to take a less cerebral approach to your mental health, and instead try energy work or develop a meditation practice. With Mars in Gemini, our headspace can be quite chatty, so carve out time to surrender overanalysis (particularly of relationships) and find your center. Venus is moving into your house of partnership in late March, imbuing a romantic, receptive energy on all of your one and one connections. This is a perfect time to use manifestation to pull the right people toward you. Work with the New Moon on March 13 to set intentions around the kind of relationships you want more of.
SCORPIO
With Mars, your co-ruler, entering experimental Gemini, you may be eager to try out new methods in both the bedroom and the workplace. Mars in Gemini creates hot-headed discussions but also motivates you to speak to your passionate nature. With the Sun shining in fellow water sign Pisces for most of March, your psychic abilities are amplified. Use this eerie power for good- and not evil, particularly when you accurately detect what people DO and DON’T want to hear. As the resident Sex-God of the zodiac, you have a responsbility to tend to your erotic appetite, and March provides plentity of opportunities to experiment with arousal. When the Sun enters fiery Aries on March 20 for the Astrological New Year, you are given a boost of vitality – so keep your focus sharp on all you want to accomplish in the upcoming year.

SAGITTARIUS
The Sun in Pisces beckons you to connect with your inner child, either through play or creativity, which comes naturally to you. You are given greater access to your imagination and intuition during this period, so make time to do some inner listening and perhaps get creative about developing a mindfulness practice. Freelance and entrepreneurial work is emphasized for you, so you have the room to fit play into your schedule. It’s time to spruce up your intention-visualisation abilities, and plan for the next astrological year, which begins March 20 when the sun enters Aries.
CAPRICORN
It’s Pisces season, so things can feel a little illusory, and it’s time to inspect where you have been over idealistic about the fine-print in some of your relationships. It may feel as though everyone around you is rather spacey, and as a result you can feel impatient as the go-getter of the zodiac. Harness this energy by using a more imaginative approach to reaching your goals, and visualise where you see yourself in the upcoming months. When the Sun begins a new cycle in Aries on March 20, you will regain a sense of vitality and passion for projects not yet materialised.
AQUARIUS
Last month’s Mercury retrograde had you inspecting the stories you mistook for truth about your sense of identity. Luckily, in March, all planets are direct, requiring you to embrace newness and innovation rather than reflection. With the Sun radiating through Pisces for most of March, it’s time to stop postponing and start intending. Work with the New Moon on March 13 to lay down a framework for the future ahead. Things may feel surreal, but dreams are merging with reality, so daydream with intention. A new astrological cycle begins when the Sun enters inspired Aries on March 20, replenishing your energy and invoking your call to action.
PISCES
Happy Birthday Season, dear Pisces! As always, birthdays are a time of reflection and manifestation, and with Venus shining in your sign for the beginning of March, you have the ability to attract what you need towards you, with little to no effort. Use this time to tend to your imagination, and play the tape of where you want life to take you. You are supported by the cosmos, so surrender any fear or doubt that you are being adequately carried to the best possible destination. When the Sun enters Aries on March 20, we begin a brand new Astrological cycle, and you will feel inspired and motivated to pair the dream with action.
