March signifies massive celestial turning points, as we enter a new astrological year, and the outer planets push us into a new era. Expect unusual, otherworldly historical events, as Saturn, planet of systems and restrictions, moves into dreamy Pisces on the 7th. Serious Saturn has spent three years in Aquarius, since the pandemic, reminding us of our commitment to our communities. In Pisces, Saturn dissolves collective illusions, and reminds us of the importance of spiritual matters, amping up our inutuition and encouraging us to master our emotions. Powerful Pluto is moving into Aquarius on the 27th, after spending 15 years in Capricorn. Pluto is our generational shadow-work, and in the sign of the water-bearer, we are examining issues that apply to everyone, advancements in technology, and an exposure of hidden things. There might not be an AI takeover or alien visitation, but both Pisces and Aquarius are known for their absurdity and otherworldly appetite, so March promises to be a legendary month.

With Mercury in Pisces for the first portion of the month, we are feeling, more than thinking. It’s the season of new beginnings, and we start off the month with a conjunction on the 2nd between Venus and Jupiter in Aries, expanding our appetites for new beginnings and promising to be a day of luck and pleasure. Venus in Aries is keen to assert her independence, and wants us to be bold in our pursuits. This is the perfect day to reclaim lost confidence and commit to our sense of self-love. We might be eager to send a risky text, or assert our emotions proudly. On the 7th of the month, following Saturn’s ingress into Pisces, we are graced by a full Moon in Virgo. This highlights our mind-body connection and encourages us to examine our habits and daily rituals. How can we be more grounded and regimented, even in the face of collective shifts? What do we need to release from our daily routine? How can we clear the clutter?

The astrological new year begins on the 20th, when Aries Season begins, initiating a brand new cycle of astrological energies. The Sun in Aries provides us with a fiery jolt of confidence and we are bold, bursting with god-given impulsivity. A New Moon on the 21st in the sign of the Ram encourages us to answer the age-old question: What do I want? Use this date to focus on your passions, as in this upcoming era, anything is possible.

TAURUS//TAURUS RISING

With Venus, your planetary ruler, in your dreamy psychic sector until the 16th, you may be getting intuitive hunches that can’t be ignored. Some of these messages may be about the company you keep, and you are being prompted to be more reserved about your energy. As Saturn completes a three year cycle of pressing you to make relational changes, you are graduating from the endless lessons of rotating social dynamics. What kind of company do you see yourself with? How do you want to feel around your counterparts?

On the 16th, Venus moves into your sign, you are bestowed with a much needed appreciation of yourself and your surroundings. You are magnetic, feeling yourself, and your perception is attuned to what is beautiful. Venus can bring what you need towards you, effortlessly, so enjoy. With Pluto stationed in your house of career and the public, you are in line for VIP attention, eager to make your artistic mark on the world at large. Set your sights on what you want to build, long term, particularly on the New Moon March 21st.

GEMINI//GEMINI RISING

Pisces season means wading through unprocessed emotions, and in this case, it pertains to your place in the world. What dreams did you abandon that need to be revisited? What do you believe is possible? How can you employ your imagination, and use it as a tool to help you get where you are going? In this upcoming decade, the barrier between our inner worlds and outer worlds will be sheet thin.

With Mars spending its final month in your sign, you are redirecting your mission, eager to weigh out two paths, two options. Decide on what feels right in your body, and let go of the cerebral chatter. Your career comes into the spotlight late March, as the planets push you to take on more responsibility, and go after what you truly desire. With the planets in Aries encouraging you to make bolder, sharper and more focused moves, any step you take will be supported.

CANCER// CANCER RISING

Your imagination is flourishing thanks to the pile-up in Pisces, and you are prompted to cultivate your intuitive gifts. Visualise, ponder and day-dream about the next astrological year. A Full Moon in Virgo on the 7th encourages you to speak your mind, and assert your vantage point. You are recalibrating and in need of a change of surroundings, even if it just means adding some feng-shui to your apartment in order to create a more sustainable sanctuary.

With Mars having spent almost 6 months in your sector of sleep and isolation, you may have found that your energy levels have been low. Good news, Cancer, on the 25th, planet of drive and will, enters your sign, giving you a grandiose sense of vitality and motivation. In the interim, enjoy the slow down. Tune into your body.

LEO// LEO RISING

With Saturn having been stationed in your relationship sector for nearly three years, you have had your fair share of “tough love” life lessons. You have grown, learnt and recovered from relational blockages, and Saturn transitions on the 7th, opening the floodgates for new love to pour in. You want longevity over meaningless flings, and your appetite for intimacy is enhanced. With Saturn preparing to station in your sector of Sex and rebirth, what you truly desire is changing. This transit erodes away anything false, and will bring in karmic connections and counterparts.

A Full Moon in Virgo on the 2nd prompts you to release any hindrances that prevent you from seeing your worth. With the planets ingressing into fellow fire sign, Aries, you are supported in finding new avenues for self-expression and creativity. Let your mind ponder the improbable, and take risks.

VIRGO//VIRGO RISING

Pisces season brings your attention to your confidants and counterparts, as you merge and blend with those you surround yourself with. You are privy to playing the role of “healer” and “helper” in your dynamics with others, but with Saturn stationing in your sign of relationships, firmer boundaries may need to be set in stone.

This month’s Full Moon falls in your sign on the 7th, presenting itself as a gateway to transmute any old habits or hindrances that keep you in loops. You are encouraged to surrender old narratives or story-lines about the way you are perceived and loved. Pluto is eroding away at intimacy blockages for the next decade, and you are ready to receive what you give out so freely: healing.

LIBRA//LIBRA RISING

March emphasises your mind-body connection, as you find the thread between the physical and spiritual increasingly thin. If you can treat disharmonies by amping up the self care, you are destined for success. Learn how to keep one eye inward and one eye outward, and when you perceive lapses of reciprocity, take it as a cue to self comfort.

When the Sun moves into Aries and we kick off a new astrological year you are prompted to take initiative when it comes to your dealings with others. Make the first move. Be bold, brazen and self-assured. This next astrological decade wants you to learn the delicate dance between pleasure and bodily care, as you figure out when to let your hair down and when you need time for self discipline.

SCORPIO// SCORPIO RISING

March bestows a playful, childlike curiosity back into your life. You are feeling experimental, creative and divinely inspired. Let yourself act like a child, but avoid the theatrics. Utilise this energy by sharpening your creative skills and channelling your intensity into artistry.

Mid-month the focus shifts to your friends and networks, and your social calendar promises to be bustling. You are exploring activities that don’t set your energetic bank account back, friends and counterparts that enrich your life rather than drain it. Look for fellow creatives who share your sharp focus and boundless ambition. With Pluto, your planetary ruler, shifting gears into Aquarius, your network becomes a major asset.

SAGITTARIUS// SAGITTARIUS RISING

The month begins with a rare celestial configuration, when your ruler Jupiter conjoins with Venus in Aries. This means keep your eyes on the prize, attune yourself to your most ridiculous and theatrical desire. Believe in the impossible, and tune out any voices that keep you in self doubt.

You are going through a rebirth, a period of time where your own insight matters more than anyone else’s. Your own commitment to your energetic field and personal mission may be tested by friends, but there are roads you have to go down alone. This doesn’t mean you won’t meet co-conspirators on the way, but March marks a new beginning, a brand new trail, and a cycle of interdependence, free of the hindrances of vampiric dynamics.

CAPRICORN// CAPRICORN RISING

You’ll be happy to hear that purge planet Pluto is graduating out of your sign, culminating a decade-long transit that prompted deep transformation. Now, the focus shifts to your self esteem and pocket book. It’s a great time to take inventory of your many talents, and expand your avenues for earning.

Your belief in self directly corresponds to the opportunities that make their way to you, and March offers you insight into how you can accumulate more self worth. The planets in Aries emphasise your home sphere, encouraging you to reassess your living quarters and perhaps inspect family dynamics and how they have shaped your picture of self-worth. Communicative efforts may be foggy until the end of the month, so utilise this time to go inward.

AQUARIUS//AQUARIUS RISING

You survived and thrived Saturn’s stern station in your sign, and emerged with a better sense of self-discipline and mastery. In the upcoming decade, Pluto shines its sharp focus onto your sector of identity. You are ready to conquer fears and explore the more hidden, secretive aspects of your personality. This is an amazing time to do shadow work of any kind, and practice giving love to the aspects of self that rarely get attention.

You may be prompted to do research, investigate family history or uncover global secrets. Either way, the spotlight is on transformation. With the planets moving into Aries, fortune favours the bold, and risks you take in the name of making necessary changes are supported three-fold.

PISCES//PISCES RISING

Self-discipline might not be your strong suit, as you are one for dissolving boundaries, surrendering to atmospheres and moods. However, with Saturn moving into your sign, you are being prompted to take on more responsibility, to become a spiritual master and strategize for long term goals.

Saturn brings rich rewards over time, but it can also give you a rude awakening, especially if you have been lollygagging in dreamland and neglecting your own wellness. This is a call to become more mindful about where you place your time and energy, and use your psychic detective skills to guide your direction. Starting to think about the energy you want to gravitate towards and that which should be avoided is key. Let your sensitivity be a skill, rather than a crutch.
