Aries Horoscope for March 2015

You are coming to an exciting stretch, Aries. This month is a season of transition, as you near your birthday time of the year. You are perhaps more aware than ever of the cosmic impulse that is there for you, to grow beyond previous high-water marks of awareness as you aim at an ultimate practicality. You suddenly find yourself two or three steps forward and by acting upon novel information, thereby discovering your own empowerment. While it is a fearful thing to leave even a dysfunctional past behind for an unknown situation, and this remains a powerful factor that never gets any easier, it might be scarier yet to remain in stasis. With your inner being more fully engaged, you could come to recognize that it is your life and no one else's and that you must live it to the fullest, no matter what.

As the month begins, you are full of verve and vitality, while also feeling the almost entirely unconscious impact of your deep center of creativity and intuitional understanding. This is because the Sun in Pisces makes within you a symbolic chime with all that is occult; that is to say, hidden from conscious view, representing what can be termed your solar sector of dream imagination and inner process, while your ruler Mars, traveling through your sign, and widely trine a prominent Jupiter in your sector of self-expression, makes for a comfortable and social time, when connection with others is easy and relatively successful. You thus inhabit two worlds simultaneously, the inner world of unconscious process, where hidden factors of your personality operate for better or for worse, and the surface layers of your more egoic personality. This is ever the case but it is very dramatic in this month's configurations due to both of these levels being brought to life so strongly.

One astrological indicator that stands out from the timing of the late Aquarius New Moon that began this current monthly cycle was the placement of your ruler, Mars, in connection with relationship-oriented Venus, in your twelfth solar sector of unconscious process and about to cross into your sign during the intervening ten days before the start of the present month. You come more fully into the presence of others after this initial period of the New Moon, and still further once the Sun enters your sign with the Spring Equinox, of the 20th. As you do, you bring some reminders of your dark and unknown parts of yourself into the light f consciousness. You partake strongly of both a conscious and an unconscious factor as you enter into the first week of March. Although you generally tend to think of events happening to you, followed by your reaction to these events, it might be useful for you to consider this the other way around; imagination leads you into unexpected realities that your mind conceives and that you then explore, as the universe obligingly serves up to you what you have secretly all along expected.

As you go through the hopefully graceful upside of this very exciting and stimulating month, there is also to consider the timing of the Uranus-Pluto square, highlighted this first week in the days leading up to the March 5th Full Moon, and then also at the moment of their exactitude taking place on the 16th. There is a years-long buildup to this last of seven exact hits perhaps constituting a gradual escalation of a series of nudges on the part of the cosmic agencies, mild as long as you heed them, more definite over time when you ignore their message. An important metamorphosis likely needs to take place in the way that you exercise power over your own life, or fail to, with which you are thus gradually coming to terms.

The late Pisces Solar Eclipse and New Moon, nearly coincident with the Spring Equinox as the Sun enters your sign, is a very important time for you as well, neatly dividing the current month into two distinct parts. Up until the 20th, as epiphanies transpire almost daily, you are in a preparatory mode, afterwards acting on the transformation that has already in large part taken place.
