March is yet another in the ongoing series of high-intensity monthly cycles, Libra, as indicated by the recent eclipse New Moon from mid-February in Aquarius, or your fifth sector of romance, joy, creativity, and any children in your life. This potent lunation cycle kicked off by the eclipse, and governing the first two weeks of March, again features the outer planets of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, with Saturn in conjunction with Neptune thrown in for good measure. We do have a powerful square to Uranus from the eclipse degree that presages further surprise events and revelations affecting your eighth sector of intimacy and depth work, allowing personal evolution to prosper, plus indications that your relationship issues continue being put to the test, with the potent Saturn-Neptune conjunction completing at that time in the first degree of Aries, corresponding to your partnership sector. With Pluto in Aquarius also highlighted in this recent solar eclipse, being in close parallel with a stationing Jupiter, his transformational effects for your creative process are also still very much with you as the March month gets underway. Additionally, Mercury is now retrograde in your sixth sector of health and day-to-day habitual routines. You may find yourself in an introspective state around these kinds of thoughts, to include reviewing and sorting out which of your existing habit patterns may have gotten past their shelf life and be ready to be left behind. The Virgo Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse of March 3rd is also quite potent, featuring fortunate Jupiter at the top of your chart, in your sector of career and profession. Your twelfth sector of unconscious process and inner work is thus highlighted, meaning that in seeking to resolve the questions required by your restless current mentality, you might need to explore the depths of your psyche, and of your intuition, for the most pertinent answers. Then we have the late Pisces New Moon of the 18th, and the Aries Solstice of the 20th, when no fewer than seven planets are arrayed in your opposite sign. This is a powerful indication for the complexity of your relationship dynamic in the latter part of the month, and, with Venus there in partile square with expansive Jupiter, the chance as well for positive outcomes. In any case there will of course be lessons to which you will do well to pay close attention, as your own pathway forward into authenticity could be your own most important production.

Previous New Moon Eclipse in Aquarius – February 17th
During the first two weeks of March, the New Moon Eclipse in late Aquarius is in effect in terms of the thirty-day cycle that continues to unwind right through to the 18th date of the subsequent New Moon. This solar eclipse lunation cycle continues to activate your fifth sector of creative expression, pleasure, and any children in your life. Your sixth sector of day-to-day routines, health and work environment may also be affected. Due to strong Uranus is this recent New Moon eclipse, a disruptive or simply surprising event might shift your romance or project focus, cause a creative outburst within you or maybe a new inspiration towards joy that you hadn’t fully explored heretofore. In the Pisces sixth sector of service as well, in this recent New Moon eclipse, along with the North Node conjunct Venus, your ruler, there is also the highlighted presence of Mercury, so that a thoughtful reassessment of your higher purpose or life mission is likely to be on the menu for the current month. By the beginning of March, with Mercury is moving retrograde through this same sector, represented by the Pisces sign, there will be an introspective quality to your experience as your search for better answers to the question of where your life is taking you, and why.
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 seventh sector of partnership and how you relate to others – this conjunction may mark the edge of a key seed moment for your partnership dynamic. What you expect from others or what you expect from a partner, meets a defining limit laced with illusion and potentially confusion, and yet also some sense of the realization of the end of illusion. At the same time, a seemingly well-established boundary could disintegrate. Disillusionment around a particular relationship can arise – the rose-colored glasses, coming off. Since this aspect can feel confusing or disorienting, it might help if you can build your capacity with uncertainty. The rippling out of this transit might, over time, assist you in restructuring your boundaries and expectations within relationship, as well as how you show up.
Mars Enters Pisces – March 2nd
As Mars ingresses into Pisces, he slips into your sixth sector of service, routine tasks, workplace, and health. While you may be a taskmaster during this transit, you will likely notice that your ability to work quickly could be energized, and perhaps involve a dedicated partner. It could be a prime time to adjust any bad habits that hinder your productivity or health, and to address conflicts that may arise in your day-to-day habitual experiences. You might want to be careful of burnout and it would be wise to quickly tend to any irritations or inflammations that come up in the body.
Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo – March 3rd
The Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon in Virgo brings emotional awareness to your twelfth sector of unconscious process, retreat, spiritual healing, and inner work. With a Pisces stellium in opposition illuminating your sixth sector of daily habits/tasks, physical health, and your workspace, you may recognize how an outgrown habit has been hindering you, or the way that newly formed depth explorations could trigger a new level of awareness around what is going on in your subconscious. Because Venus is in aspect to Chiron, The Wounded Healer, itself in a conjunction with Eris, there is a lot to be gained by attempting to delve into internal wounding that might bee ready for a greater degree of living acceptance, leading to healing of such issues. There could also be revealed an imbalance between the attention you give to “productivity” verses the time you spend recharging so that this might need re-adjustment as well – or an event may force that restructuring. Jupiter blesses this eclipse with potentially expansive and growth-oriented outcomes.
Sun Trine Jupiter – March 3rd - 6th
The Pisces Sun transiting your sixth sector forms a supportive trine to Jupiter in your tenth sector of authority and public/professional life. This is one of the most beneficial transits of the month as it creates a symbiotic connection between your sector of workplace environment and your sector of career! Either may improve from the connection. During this short transit, you may find rewards for hard work, or you may find it energizing and fulfilling to earn recognition for what you do to be of service at this time. You could keep your eyes out for new career opportunities and ways to advance as Jupiter blesses your public status.

Within partnership, this enticing transit supports prioritizing physical passion and adventure together, as you’re inclined to seek pleasure through activities that make you feel alive! Premature relationships may become stronger due to an increased enthusiasm around the idea of partnership, and you’re more attracted to bonding with others in general.
Venus Conjunct Neptune and Saturn – March 6th - 9th
As Venus infuses the Saturn-Neptune alignment with her positive impulse towards peace, pleasure and ease – you may find new ways to integrate more balance, love and understanding into the new structure being born around your relationship and partnership dynamics. A compromise could be ready and available to help smooth out recent relationship issues and this moment can act as a lovely starting point towards more understanding and acceptance within relationships.
Jupiter Stations Direct in Cancer – March 10th
When Jupiter stations direct in Cancer, he positively enhances your tenth sector of professional goals, public image and authority! This transit supports receiving accolades in your professional life, recognition from superiors, being given the opportunity to up level your social standing. This transit assists you in feeling more confident about career direction and choices. Focusing on your long-term objectives may feel especially fulfilling.
Mercury Retrograde Conjunct Mars – March 13th - 15th
As Mercury retrogrades in conjunction with Mars, in your sixth sector of health, habits, workplace and service — it could be a good idea to check in with how well your physical energy and body has been handling your workload, an adjustment to health routines may be due. Reworking or rethinking how to effectively communicate through conflict with coworkers may come up as an old work issue could recur and intensify during this transit. Work projects that involve extra mental attention may also be to theme.
New Moon in Pisces – March 18th
The New Moon in late Pisces brings a rejuvenating energy to your sixth sector of workplace, health habits and service to others. Also affected could be your seventh sector of partnership with important others, creating new focus there as well.

Since the New Moon forms a productive sextile to Uranus, you may be in for a series of lovely surprises or revelations that might serve to catalyze clarity around how to take better care of your health, discard old, outmoded habits, or to more effectively bond with your partner. This New Moon features Venus, your ruler, in close aspect to fortunate Jupiter, as of recently now moving in a forward direction, and this presages good luck in all that you may attempt in the coming weeks.
Aries Equinox – March 20th
As the Sun enters Aries, the Aries Equinox begins and marks the start to the astrological new year! An outbreak of enthusiasm radiates through one of the most sensitive sectors of your chart – your seventh sector of partnership and others. You may passionately form new relationships or tend to current partnerships while you are more present within them now. The Aries Sun also helps heighten your awareness around what you expect out of your relationships – encouraging you to be more forthright and authentic when expressing yourself to others.
