This is yet another month of outer planet interactions, Sagittarius, leading to revelation and transformation. The recent and quite potent eclipse New Moon in late Aquarius that governs the first two weeks of March – and beyond, when you consider the nature of an eclipse – involves several of these, namely regarding Uranus, Neptune with Saturn, and Pluto. Interestingly, Uranus lies in close square alignment with this recent New Moon, suggesting that surprise events and unexpected revelations might continue to be the order of the day all through March. Then, too, the storied Saturn-Neptune conjunction, a blending of antithetical archetypes, was also quite prominent in the planetary patternings of the recent Aquarius eclipse, bringing to Aries, or your sector of creativity and romance, some rather unusual factors of idealism, potentially illusion, over-idealism or even delusion, along with a bursting of this bubble and a falling back to practical reality. Pluto is additionally featured, in extremely close parallel with your ruler, Jupiter, which is located in your eighth sector of intimacy, depth work, and person evolution. With Pluto in Aquarius now, there is also the ongoing metamorphosis of your communication style and its effectiveness, along with your efforts at learning more about your own beliefs and worldview. With Mercury being retrograde or in recovery for all of March, and located in your sector of home, family, and your psychological roots, there is as well an introspective and personally reflective air to the proceedings as you reexamine family ties and, potentially, factors of early childhood. The Virgo Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse takes place on March 3rd and makes for a potent juncture involving your sector of career and vocation, emphasizing your public presence there. Because Jupiter is highly featured in this Full Moon eclipse and located in your sector of intimacy and personal evolution, this month continues to be full of profound change and developmental progress. The second half of March is punctuated by the late Pisces New Moon of the 18th, the Aries solstice of the 20th, and the station of Mercury to direct motion, also on the 20th. This latter part of the month features no fewer than seven planets lined up in Aries, counting the new 21st century planet, Eris, a Feminine Warrior energy in support of soul intention. This March month therefore remains something of a wild ride, right up to its closing weeks, and is yet productive also of important and novel insights for your unfolding future.
The following was written by our guest astrologer, Lauren Hansen. You can find her here.
Previous New Moon Eclipse in Aquarius – February 17th
The late Aquarius Solar Eclipse New Moon from last month continues to influence this month as the lunation cycle initiated in that timing remains in play, activating your third sector of communication, learning, and local environment, while also tying in your domestic and private life. For the March month’s first two weeks, powerful turning points in regard to these areas of your life might certainly continue to occur! Considering the eclipse degree from back then being in such close square to Uranus, sudden shifts in your internal world and within your mental process might take place as art of your reaction to this unsettled energy. Your perspective around your own emotional patterns could shift, or familial dynamics alter, along with the ways you tend to communicate and ingest information.
Saturn-Neptune conjunction – Strongest to March 7th
This is one of the most significant configurations of the whole year and it’s very influential during March. Activating your fifth sector of creativity, self-expression, pleasure, and desire – this conjunction marks a profound threshold where inspiration meets practical limits, and dissolution meets structure. You may notice uncertainty around creative direction, romantic dynamics, or what genuinely brings you joy. At the same time, this transit supports the slow emergence of a more evolved relationship with pleasure and self-expression. Ideally this time can invite you into a whole new conversation with your desires and inner compass, one that is rooted in your own devotion to your authentic expression. This dynamic unfolds gradually, and asks for patience, steadfastness, and passionate dedication to your own creative spark. In regard to your creative expression, this current early spring timing might turn out to be a huge turning point.
Mars Enters Pisces – March 2nd
Mars’ ingress into Pisces brings Mars into your fourth sector of the internal world, family and domestic life – the sector that is also highlighted by the recent eclipse New Moon in Aquarius. Some level of frustration or conflict could find its way into your home and family dynamics as you feel an urge to assert more independence or separation. Your feelings may be more passionate and reactive in this timing as well.
Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo – March 3rd
The Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Virgo brings your emotional awareness to your tenth sector of career, public life and authority. Emotions might arise around how well your external goals pair with your domestic lifestyle and family responsibilities. You could experience a highly impactful turning point that provides a clearing which allows for more harmony between these areas. Your deep psychological roots are also invoked and could influence new emerging horizons in creativity and, potentially, romantic attitudes. With the Sun and Moon in positive aspect to joyous Jupiter, new opportunities can become available to grow and to shift in your perspectives.
Sun Trine Jupiter – March 3rd - 6th
The Sun in your fourth sector of home, family and your emotional world forms a supportive trine to Jupiter, your ruler, in your eighth sector of intimacy, shared resources, and emotional depth. This is one of the most beneficial transits of the month! Emotional awareness facilitates emotional intimacy and transformation. Being present at home and with family could allow more trust and bonding to flourish.
Venus Enters Aries – March 6th
Venus ingresses into Aries, the sign of her detriment, and your fifth sector of creative expression, children, pleasure and romance. This transit supports spontaneous fun with children, enjoying new creative projects and incorporating more passion into your potential romantic connections. Key relationships in your life could flourish now and throughout the remainder of the March month!
Venus Conjunct Neptune and Saturn – March 6th - 9th
As Venus infuses the Saturn-Neptune alignment with her beneficial urge for pleasure, bonding, and peace, you may find ways to integrate more love, joy and artistry into the new structure that is being born around your creative self-expression and amorous or idealistic ties. You could find yourself devoting more time to creative outlets or welcoming romance in a new way, plus also prioritizing joy with any children in your life.
Jupiter Stations Direct in Cancer – March 10th
Jupiter, your ruler, stations direct in Cancer, positively enhancing your eighth sector of sexual intimacy, transformation, death, and shared resources – directly affecting your key relationships and potentially offering you a more positive sense of self. Partnership agreements could take a sudden extra emphasis or allow resolutions of existing issues. New opportunities could also arise this week around how to make the most out of your shared resources. You might also be facing how to process death more effectively or how to react in crisis. Subtle psychological rebirth in one way or another might be a distinct possibility now and new opportunities for your intimate unions could also arise as well to expand your world.
Mercury Retrograde Conjunct Mars – March 13th - 15th
As Mercury retrogrades in conjunction with Mars, in your fourth sector of home, family and your internal world, you may revisit familial frustrations in different ways or rethink how to communicate in a more reflective manner around any conflict you are having with loved ones.
New Moon in Pisces – March 18th
The New Moon in late Pisces brings a refreshing energy to your fourth sector of domestic life, family and your internal world. Your relationship to pleasure, children, romance and creative expression could also be affected, increasing your focus there, greatly enhanced also by a line-up of planets in Aries. Surprises and unexpected enlightenment continue to be the rule rather than the exception, affecting your sense of security and your communications, while intuitional information can contribute to your understanding of your developing beliefs and worldview. This is a powerful juncture for members of your sign, especially with regard to ideas and actions referencing legacies, partnership agreements, or personal evolution.
Aries Equinox – March 20th
As the Sun enters Aries, additional attention comes to your fifth sector of creativity, self-expression, pleasure and desire. The Aries Equinox marks the astrological new year, renewing your perspective as you regard your creative projects. The Aries line-up now stretches to seven planets adding in the Sun and the Moon, for quite a load of energy in this important area. You are more present, aware, action-oriented, and passionate about this area of your life with the Sun joining the stellium of planets featured in Aries.
Mercury Stations Direct – March 20th
Mercury/" class="air" title="Click to learn more..." data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="bottom">Mercury Retrograde in Pisces shifts as Mercury stations direct in your fourth sector of home and family. With Mercury standing dead-still in the sky, the symptoms of the retrograde continue in a different mode, and you might continue to find yourself reflecting on familial patterns or the fundamentals of your psychological roots. Miscommunications and confusion within your dwellling or with its inhabitants might still persist and will likely taper off as Mercury continues to pick up speed over the next few weeks. You should be able to apply what you have learned about your own inner depths to the upcoming April month ahead.
Sun Conjunct Neptune and Saturn – March 20th - 26th
The profound conclusions you’re beginning to have around your fifth sector of creative self-expression, pleasure, and any children in your life become more complex as the Sun highlights the illusionary and remarkable Saturn-Neptune conjunction, now fading, conjuncting first Neptune, exact on the 21st, then Saturn, from the 2nd to the 26th. This could assist you in taking action and being more present around making shifts toward more authentic creative expression and reckoning with devotion to pleasure. The second part of this period may reveal greater dedication to the pursuit of your creative projects, along with encounters running up against limitations or internal resistance which can also supply valuable lessons as long as you are willing to absorb them.
Venus Conjunct Eris and Chiron – March 25th - 26th
As Venus conjuncts Chiron, boosted by the additional presence there of Eris, you may desire to express or process rediscovered inner wounding affecting your creative artistry, perhaps by sharing your experience with loved ones. You might be able to recognize these deeper issues that can arise to disrupt your sense of self-worth and stability – perhaps involving relationship dynamics – as ripe for healing and moving on.
Venus Enters Taurus – March 30th
Venus ingresses into Taurus, the sign of her domicile, and your sixth sector of day-to-day events and environment along with habitual behaviors, bringing in gentle and sweet tones to your daily routines, health and workplace setting. This transit also supports finding more stability and quality – you may feel the urge to beautify your workspaces, bond with coworkers or integrate more pleasure into your daily routines.
