This month is an amazing one for introspection and looking to the inside, Taurus, as indicated by the retrograde of your ruler, Venus, right from the 1st. This Venus retrograde lasts all through March and into the first half of April, and initially takes place in Aries, or your sector of unconscious process and inner work. You are getting a very definite journey to the inner reaches of your psyche, which can nevertheless be quite productive when you can contrive to get out of your own way and let the universe flow through you. Mercury is retrograde as well this month, and also in the sign of Aries. The New Moon in Pisces from the last days of February governs the current monthly cycle, and is indicative, for you, of life goals and social connection, and yet with so much of this retrograde meditative impulse to contend with, might best be thought of as when following the Tao, allowing your intuition to take over rather than your planning mind. The lunar eclipse of late evening March 13th also sponsors intuition, with Uranus in your sign again featured, and with also the strong embrace of your unconscious process implied by five planets in this sector counting Neptune hovering on its edge. The solar eclipse ending the month, on the 30th, takes place in Aries with these same planets still lined up there. From your inner life all else flows.

As we enter March, we find ourselves in the window of the Pisces New Moon from February 27th. This sets you in the early days of a thirty-day cycle of new awareness centered around your community, and life goals, with people that wish you well featuring. In the four weeks ahead, it could benefit you to engage with on or offline social spheres and your wider circle, perhaps because of your job, family ties or experiences overseas. There is a studied optimism that you inhabit this month as you look ahead to a more integrated future.
On the 1st, your chart ruler Venus stations retrograde in Aries and your twelfth house of dream imagination, unconscious process, and inner work, with the Moon close by. With your ruler moving backward now in your healing house of the unconscious as well as secrets and hidden motives, you might amplify a transformation that’s underway – a soul-searching mission that’s incredibly personal and somewhat hidden from your conscious gaze. Note that you might become confused or conflicted about how to move forward, as you almost consciously refashion your identity and sense of self, along with the resources you will need to marshal for success.
From the 1st to the 2nd, the Sun in Pisces combines tensely with Jupiter in a square aspect. Jupiter is located in Gemini, so answers to its guide Mercury in Pisces, conjunct Neptune at this time. h, you may find involvements with a team or your peers impacts a practical plan. Friends and money might not mix, or getting things done in a group could be extra challenging. It might serve you to be clear and concise about your intentions, what you want to do, acquire or secure.
Mercury enters Aries on the 3rd, where it immediately makes harmonious ties to Pluto in Aquarius on the 3rd and 4th, in your ambitious zone of vocation and public image. The Moon in your sign these two days is also significant, and your feelings will be uppermost in your personal world and for others to experience. You might become more conscious of the transformative impact on career and profession that has been underway over these past several months, and it may benefit you to reflect on your role there in private, attempting to better understand these changes, and how they factor in with your goals and aspirations.
Then, on the 6th, the First Quarter Gemini Moon prompts you to connect to your position and what you do to contribute, be it in financial or more intangible terms. As the Moon is co-present with Jupiter in this configuration, a sense of real growth and progress might be made around your valuable input, along with added momentum in ways you build or make a living. The Pisces Sun is in a harmonious trine to Mars, now direct in the sign of Cancer. This lunation can represent conflict and yet may also breed confidence in social networks and indicate a way forward with close ties in your environment. You may notice that you have improved your relations, communication skills, and overcome challenging interpersonal dynamics with your neighbors.
From the 10th to the 12th, you find Mercury (still in direct motion) conjunct Venus (retrograde) in Aries, which brings even greater conscious understanding to interior matters. While you needn’t go it entirely alone, it is perhaps a favorable time to step back to fulfil certain obligations independently.
The Full Moon on the 13th and 14th is a total lunar eclipse in Virgo, or your fifth house of joy, creative inspiration, fertility, and personal gratification. Remind yourself of who and what you love. It may be apparent your overarching focus has been on collective interests – ensuring others happiness. This moment could reveal what’s been missing for you. With the Sun conjunct Saturn and in aspect to Uranus in your sign during this Full Moon, the unexpected competes with the normalized order of things for you, along with their inherent restrictions. A deeply personal sense of intuition might be able to overcome common sense for a greater sense of mystical process. You might be made more sure of changes around your purpose and identity, and of an important connection to society, a social scene, religious groups, or good cause.
Mercury stations retrograde in Aries on the 14th and 15th, just 24 hours after the Full Moon, so that now Venus and Mercury are backtracking in your sector of unconscious process, endings, catharsis, and rebirth. This is thus an entirely introspective period of time, from now until the end of the March month, and on into April. You are looking to the inside and might consider ways you could invest time for your healing, mental health, or even a make-over to your conscious understanding. Private spaces or alternative settings may facilitate practical objectives, since these planets guide your personal identity, finances, health, work environment, and regular duties. It might benefit you to temporarily escape your usual routine or workload, devoting yourself to a transitionary process. You might also take a spiritual approach to money, your wellbeing and values, or find you’re moved to be charitable.
Aries Season commences on the 20th, with the Spring Equinox (spring that is in the Northern Hemisphere) providing a shift encouraging you to fully surrender to what’s underway, perhaps focusing on nourishing yourself and those under your care. With the retrogrades of both Mercury and Venus highlighted, there remains an aura of introspection and second guessing, which for you involves unconscious process and inner work. You may feel a sense of isolation with several planets tucked away from the more active areas of your solar chart in this telling configuration, and you could yet take comfort in the knowledge that all this looking within yourself might be beneficial in the long run, productive of greater integration in a future stage.
At this juncture, also, Venus in retrograde arrives in a sextile aspect to Pluto in Aquarius, just as she did on February 7th (then in direct motion). Then,
Between the 22nd and 26th, the Sun meets Venus and Mercury in Aries, all three in your introspective twelfth house, and finding connection with Pluto in a sextile. You may come to even more conscious awareness of what it is you’re working on behind the scenes, and how this serves your long-term goals, ambitions and aspirations. Your public profile could require some sacrifices, in its long-term transformation of values, for example due to being a parent, spouse, business partner, or successful figure.
The 27th sees Venus dips back into Pisces meeting Neptune, which could feel a bit nebulous and spacey and yet infuse you with a renewed sense of the mystical, or prompt you to revisit your place among friends and groups you favor. There could be unfinished business in a group setting or among your network of peers.
On the 29th, the Moon joins the Sun for a partial solar eclipse and Aries New Moon, then just over 24-hours later (on the 30th), Neptune enters Aries. You might feel this shift as a spiritual recommitment or see it as an opportunity to retreat with close friends, community or those in your environment, in what could be an important moment of closure.
