Spring has sprung! On March 19th, the Sun enters Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, launching a new astrological year. The lengths of day and night are approximately equal as the Sun crosses the celestial equator on the equinoxes in March and September every year. Speaking of balance, on March 25th, a Lunar Eclipse occurs in Libra, the sign of the scales, calling for equilibrium between “self” and “other.” Relationships may be put to the test, or you might be compelled to juggle two other competing areas of life.

PISCES

February 19–March 20


You’re liable to change your mind on March 3rd when Venus in your subliminal corner disagrees with whimsical Uranus in your cognitive zone. You might suddenly crave a change of scenery, or someone could say something that messes with your mood. Don’t take the bait. As rash Mars has the same skirmish with Uranus on the 9th, you may need to pause and edit yourself. If you don’t keep unconscious urges in check, there’s a strong possibility you’ll say or do something you haven’t thought through.
Resist the temptation to shoot from the hip. Otherwise, your words and actions could come back to bite you. However, on both of those days, kindhearted deeds, imaginative ideas and off-the-radar efforts can all produce positive results.

March 10th serves up a New Moon in Pisces, symbolizing your annual fresh start. This is your opportunity to reinvent yourself in whatever way you like. Contemplate your persona, your appearance, the vibe you give off. How do others see you? Does that image match your inner identity? You might — consciously or unconsciously — change your look, your communication style or your body language as a reflection of the person you’re becoming. Venus sashays into your sign on the 11th for a three-and-a-half-week stay, transforming you into a social butterfly if you’ve been reclusive lately. Everyone will be drawn to your lovely aura, and hanging with your favorite people will help you make the most of your magnetism. You’ll feel like your most attractive, charming self during this period, so take advantage! Mars parades into Pisces on the 22nd for his biennial visit and will fuel your drive until April 30th. You’ll take charge of your goals and do what needs to be done to advance your personal agenda. While your vigor will help you prove what you’re capable of, you may have to dial it down if you start bulldozing others inadvertently. Stand up for yourself, but avoid petty fights. For best results, work independently as much as possible.

When the Sun and Neptune convene in your sign on March 17th, you could feel extra vulnerable and sensitive. If you get overwhelmed, take a step back from the world and meditate, listen to music or indulge in another healthy escape. On the 21st, Venus and Saturn rendezvous in Pisces, putting you in a serious mood and making you choosier about whom you spend time with. You’re exuding warmth and attracting others into your orbit, but it makes sense to narrow down your options now. You might start a long-term relationship or cut someone loose if your heart isn’t in it. You want to be with people who are right for you — or else be by yourself.

The Sun exits Pisces and segues into your worth realm on the 19th, shifting your attention from who you are to what you require and what you have. You’re identifying strongly with your belongings, finances, needs and values during this solar circuit. While mental Mercury is in this part of your chart from March 9th to May 15th, you could be preoccupied with money matters and other tangible priorities.

On March 25th, as a Lunar Eclipse jolts your sharing-and-depth arena, a close relationship could reach a crossroads. Should you go all in or cut your losses? Sex is likely to be passionate and intense, since emotions are running high. If you have a partner, their needs could seem pressing, calling for you to master give-and-take. This lunation also impacts your psyche, perhaps bringing difficult feelings to light so you can transform pain into power. A tremendous internal shift could occur, moving you past a fear or a loss, for instance. A series of eclipses from April 2023 to March 2025 is shaking up your personal resources and joint resources; your self-worth and values; and the merging of your priorities with someone else’s. Trying to negotiate “mine” and “ours” can get messy, and the upheaval in this part of your life can make you feel vulnerable. As the saying goes, the only way out is through.

Lucky for you, when Venus in Pisces vibes with Jupiter on March 24th, you’ll have a chance to socialize, meet people, perhaps spend time with neighbors or siblings and maybe even enjoy a getaway. On the 28th, a Venus-Uranus confab livens up your interactions once again and may bring someone new into your life. Express a hidden side of yourself or enjoy a spontaneous outing. You’re interested in people who stimulate your mind and get you to see things differently — and that may lead to encounters with colorful characters. Going with the flow and seeing where life takes you will be more exciting than sticking to routine plans.

ARIES

March 21–April 19


It’s not easy to be a team player on March 3rd when agreeable Venus in your network court clashes with erratic Uranus in your worth realm. Your personal values might differ from group interests, or your confidence or finances could be shaky. You may struggle to go along with the crowd and have a good time. If you’d rather do your own thing, try to break off from the pack without hurting anyone.
Your ruler, Mars, has the same spat with Uranus on the 9th, again suggesting that fluctuating self-esteem, funds or resources will have an effect on group dynamics. You might be chasing after a new goal and waver in your pursuit if your confidence dips and you’re not sure you have what it takes. Collaborations can bring about change, so don’t give up entirely on the idea of working with others.

The New Moon in your healing zone on March 10th prompts you to tend to your inner life. You might begin a new spiritual practice, incorporate more downtime into your schedule, download a meditation app, start a dream journal, go on a retreat or improve your sleep habits. After Venus slips into that part of your chart on the 11th, you’ll probably require more alone time. Don’t feel guilty in the next few weeks about enjoying a slice of solitude when you need it. Mars slides into that same corner on the 22nd for a nearly six-week stay, persuading you to work behind the scenes without expecting a lot of recognition. You can accomplish plenty on your own in a low-key setting if you avoid slipping into a regressive behavior pattern. It’s hard to assert yourself in a direct manner during this period, so don’t focus too much on making a splash. Try to be conscious of the ways in which you sabotage yourself, and confront the ulterior motives lurking in your subconscious. Dedicating yourself to helping others in need would be a great use of your energy between now and the end of April.

A Sun-Neptune meetup on March 17th will amplify your intuition and empathy, but it may also deplete you. Make a point of getting plenty of rest if you’re worn out. When Venus aligns with Saturn in the last house of your chart on the 21st, you might feel a little lonely or melancholy. But if you’ve gotten lost in fantasyland lately, this planetary pairing can help you snap out of it. Plus, it will persuade you to put up firm boundaries with energy vampires.

With the Sun rolling into Aries on March 19th, your birthday season officially gets underway! You’ll be full of vitality and confidence in the month that follows. And with Mercury in your sign from March 9th to May 15th, you’re able to express your ideas with a silver tongue. It’s only natural to put yourself first during the weeks ahead, Ram. Focus on setting your intentions for the coming year and making the right choices for yourself.

Relationship change is in the air when a Lunar Eclipse lands in your interpersonal angle on March 25th. This represents the fruition of a Solar Eclipse that occurred on October 14th, 2023, and if you glance back over the past five months, you might notice a change in your close connections. A partnership that began during this time could reach a fork in the road where you opt to commit, part ways or shift a dynamic that’s not working. The Aries-Libra eclipse cycle spans from April 2023 to March 2025, and we’re at the midpoint now. For you, this is the axis of self and other, so your personal identity and your important ties are being shaken and stirred—hopefully resulting in a better balance of me/we. You might formalize or end an alliance, get engaged, complete a collaboration or deal with relationship drama that’s been brewing for a while. A strong relationship will pass this test, but one that doesn’t serve your growth may need to shift or else reach its natural conclusion. Or perhaps the way you relate to people—and the role you play in your relationships—are due for an update now.

When Venus gels with Jupiter on March 24th, you have the confidence to identify what’s most important to you and to let go of something (or possibly someone) that doesn’t make the cut. Venus enjoys the same chemistry with Uranus on March 28th, which could inspire you to make a spontaneous sacrifice. Making clever use of your resources in order to help others can enable you to feel good about yourself in turn.


Taurus

TAURUS

April 20–May 20


With your ruling planet, Venus, in your ambition angle, you can produce creative work and earn a stamp of approval from decision makers. But Venus’s quarrel with Uranus in Taurus on March 3rd might tempt you to rebel against authority or bureaucracy. You want to do things your own way and shouldn’t stifle the very uniqueness that will help you stand out.
But see if you can manage to be both original and cooperative — working within a system, if necessary, to accomplish something with flair. When Mars has the same run-in with Uranus on the 9th, even though you’re highly motivated to achieve your aims, the path to success could get complicated. Recognize that what you do now may compel you to change or adapt. You might get into a conflict if someone tries to boss you around. Your rebellious mood will make it harder for you to defer, so consider stepping back and doing your own thing.

The New Moon lands in your humanity house on March 10th, inviting you to widen your circle — perhaps by making new friends and professional contacts or by joining an organization. You could get a group endeavor or a philanthropic effort off the ground soon. After Venus dances into that house on the 11th, you’ll be in the mood to socialize with your squad and maybe mingle with colleagues in your industry. In the next few weeks, say yes to large gatherings, where you’re bound to thrive. Mars shows up in the same part of your chart on the 22nd, giving teamwork and charitable work a green light. Your best strategy in the next month and a half would be to join forces instead of flying solo. Banding together with others can allow you to make a difference in the world.

But if you’re feeling vulnerable to peer pressure on March 17th, you might need to remind yourself that “no” is a complete sentence. While the Sun’s meetup with Neptune that day can put you in tune with a group, it might blur the boundaries between you and others. Try to savor the feeling of unity without compromising yourself. A similar Venus-Saturn rendezvous on the 21st can prompt you to officially join a group or make a substantial gesture to help a friend. If you’re having issues in your crew, or a particular friendship is on the rocks, this is an opportune time to work on the problems and try to get relations back on track.

With the revitalizing Sun sneaking into your retreat corner on March 19th, your energy dips as your solar year begins to wind down. It’s appropriate to spend time alone in a quiet setting during the month before your birthday season so you can recharge. Mental Mercury is hiding out in the same part of your chart from March 9th to May 15th, turning your focus inward. Reflect on the past, make peace with it — and then let it go.

A Lunar Eclipse shakes up the opposite house — your efficiency realm — on March 25th. If something specific is preventing you from being a productive person day in and day out, you’ll feel compelled to address the issue. It’s an ideal time to quit a bad habit once and for all. This eclipse, part of a cycle unfolding from April 2023 to March 2025, can bring something to a boiling point. A health crisis might convince you to make a lifestyle change, or trouble at the office might make you want to change jobs. If you’re stressed out, look at what’s keeping your life from running smoothly. What’s not working? Where are you stretched too thin? Now’s your chance to update your personal OS. You could decide to drop something from your schedule or diet; wrap up a project that’s taken up lots of your time; or declutter your workspace so you can concentrate on essential tasks. With the sun and Mercury hiding out in your retreat corner, part of you wants to kick back and drift, and this lunation can yank you back into reality, pushing you to do a better job of balancing your inner and outer worlds. Honor the connection between mind, body and spirit, recognizing that physical health is just one component of holistic wellness.

You’ll finish the month on a high note as Venus syncs up with Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus on the 24th and 28th, inspiring positive interactions and possibly sparking a fresh connection. To maximize the benefits of these planetary pairings, be yourself around others. Social activities — like fun with friends — are favored, and you’re very open to meeting new people now.


Gemini

GEMINI

May 21–June 20


Your desire for unfamiliar pleasures might inspire you to do something slyly subversive on March 3rd when Venus in your exploration center spars with Uranus in your subliminal zone. A radical turn of events can likely be traced to your urge to try new things. Don’t sneak back into your comfort zone. Own your appetite for adventure.
There’s an exception, though: If you’re in a great relationship, be sure you’re not sabotaging it out of boredom. Mars has the same dustup with Uranus on March 9th, so again, you might be in danger of acting on impulse just to rock the boat. You’re eager to venture out on a limb but may not be aware of your reasons. The more you strive to understand yourself, the better equipped you’ll be to act wisely and generate invigorating changes that don’t cause undesired disruption.

On March 10th, the New Moon in your achievement angle can inspire you to set fresh goals and revamp your reputation if it isn’t what you’d like it to be. A new chapter in your career or your life path may be in the works if you’re channeling your energy in that direction. Venus ascends to that angle on the 11th, coaxing you to do creative work, charm higher-ups and polish your public image over the course of the next few weeks. And finally, Mars climbs to that same peak on the 22nd, pushing your ambition into overdrive through the end of April. You’re motivated to pursue your highest aims and gain ground in your profession. Work on projects that matter to you, and if possible, operate independently. Mars doesn’t like answering to anyone, so neither will you! Try not to come on too strong with authority figures or boss your coworkers around. Take action on big plans and savor the thrill of progress.

The Sun and Neptune coalesce in that angle on March 17th, suggesting that if you’re unsure about where you’re headed in your career or your life, you may become disoriented by those doubts now. On the other hand, a higher truth about your spiritual purpose could seep in, so tune into your inklings. On March 21st, Venus and Saturn replicate the Sun-Neptune summit, prompting you to be more strategic when it comes to schmoozing your superiors and promoting yourself. Be mindful of the possibility that you might put people off with an authoritative air though, as this pairing can be a bit imperious.

The Sun charges into your community court on the 19th, energizing your friendships and group ties. Mental Mercury is in that part of your chart from March 9th to May 15th, shifting some of your attention to the various roles you play in other people’s lives. Teamwork, socializing and professional networking are all highlighted in the weeks ahead. Since Mercury is the communication planet, and this house rules technology, it’s an opportune time to focus on your online presence and convey your message through social media.

When a Lunar Eclipse electrifies your pleasure sector on March 25th, you may have an urge to enjoy life to the fullest and even show off a little. This eclipse marks the midpoint in a cycle spanning from April 2023 to March 2025 that has drawn your attention to fitting in versus standing out. You’re meant to find a better balance between those two things now, expressing your individuality without jeopardizing your ties to others. Becoming a more well-rounded, fulfilled human being will ultimately enable you to make an inimitable contribution to humanity as a whole. Individuating isn’t selfish; it’s essential. Give yourself permission to play, love and express yourself with abandon. You won’t be able to hide your feelings, and an emotional tidal wave could bring a romance to a make-or-break climax. It’s difficult to say which way it will go because eclipses are known to trigger surprising developments. A creative project you’re passionate about could come into full flower, and you could also have memorably epic fun.

If you want to be seen in a positive light, trust your intuition on March 24th as Venus syncs up with wise Jupiter in your subconscious sector. When Venus enjoys the same synergy with Uranus on the 28th, showing a hidden side of yourself can help you to come across well. If you tap into your unconventional streak, you can do your best creative work and impress people in positions of power. The part of you that secretly wants to shake things up can be an asset now.


Cancer

CANCER

June 21–July 22


Your personal life could experience a plot twist on March 3rd as amorous Venus tussles with indie Uranus. You might flirt with someone in your circle on a whim — harmless fun if you’re unattached, but potentially problematic if you’re not. If jealousy arises, bear in mind that intimacy and friendship are a tricky mix now.
You may just need a breather from an intense bond or strong feelings, and hanging with a group will probably feel easier. When Mars throws a similar wrench into relationships on March 9th, you might be torn between committing to one person and playing the field. Or sexual sparks that come out of nowhere might change a friendship. Maneuvering for control will lead people to revolt, so ease up and give everyone space to march to the beat of their own drummer. If it’s time to break free from something you’re involved in (or someone you’re involved with), this transit can be the catalyst.

It’s time to look at life through a wider lens on March 10th when a New Moon rises in your perspective house. Refresh the page on your worldview, exploring different philosophies and ways of life. This lunation can inspire you to be more daring and entrepreneurial, and you might decide to book a trip, sign up for a class or seek out some other horizon-broadening experience. After Venus sails into that sector on the 11th, you’ll feel even freer to explore a variety of pleasures. Date someone you’d normally overlook, enjoy a vacation fling, consider giving long-distance romance a shot or simply socialize with people who are very different from you. Relationships benefit from a spirit of adventure in the next few weeks, so get out of your comfort zone! Mars blazes into this expansive realm on March 22nd, dialing up your wanderlust and motivating you to branch out. Take a risk in the name of growth and learning over the next month or so. Venture into unknown territory, chase after fresh adventures, fight for a righteous cause, visit a foreign country.

With the sun and Neptune convening in that part of your chart on March 17th, you’re tempted to identify very strongly with a cause, principle or dogma — to an extent where you’ll be quite easily influenced. Try to make your peace with not knowing everything. Allow yourself to connect with — and care about — people whom you might be able to help in some way. Venus holds a similar summit with Saturn on the 21st, pointing to a possibility that the unfamiliar pleasure you’re enjoying will provide lasting satisfaction. Keep breaking new ground!

After the Sun climbs to the pinnacle of your chart on March 19th, you’ll be in a position to shine in public or in your profession. This month-long solar cycle fuels your drive to achieve big goals and put ambitious plans in motion. Mercury is in this success-oriented angle from March 9th to May 15th, keeping your eyes on the prize and enabling you to articulate your agenda.

On March 25th, a Lunar Eclipse jolts the base of your chart, triggering a flood of feels — and possibly a turn of events in your home or family. From April 2023 to March 2025, a series of eclipses is compelling you to improve your work-life balance. If you’re not juggling career and domestic concerns, perhaps you’re dealing with tension between your desire to make your mark in the world and your need for relaxing downtime. Maybe you’ve been so busy pursuing your goals you’re neglecting self-care. Your comfort is paramount now, so unwind at Casa Crab in whatever way you desire. You could finish a household project; family drama could flare up; or your living situation might change somehow. It’s natural to feel moody and sentimental now. Seek healthy outlets for the emotions that are bubbling up.

As Venus meshes with boundless Jupiter in your community court on March 24th, “the more the merrier” becomes your motto for the day. Whatever you’re doing, invite some fresh faces along for the ride or open up the guest list to friends of friends. You’ll enjoy getting to know new people. And when Venus has the same summit with impromptu Uranus on March 28th, you might have a spontaneous adventure with your squad. Take advantage of any opportunity to spend time with people who are different from you. It’s easy to make new friends under these convivial skies, and you might develop new interests through everyone you’re meeting.


Leo

LEO

July 23–August 22


An important relationship could veer off in an unexpected direction as Venus in your interpersonal angle needles erratic Uranus in your ambition arena on March 3rd. If you’re in an LTR, it may be a struggle to agree on your goals as a couple, and one of you may be itching for more autonomy. Regardless of your relationship status, a little flexibility will go a long way.
When feisty Mars has the same scuffle with Uranus on the 9th, you might provoke an unintended reaction from someone or form a partnership that leads to surprising results. Future plans may need to change. You can make that happen by hashing things out with another individual, though it won’t feel easy. Maybe it’s time to get things out in the open and find out if you’re heading in the same direction.

You could dive deeper into a close relationship and reach a new level of commitment after a New Moon rises in your merging sector on March 10th. Or you might soon seek outside resources such a loan or grant. It’s also possible that you’ll develop a new obsession and perhaps begin a passion project. With Venus slipping into that sector on the 11th, you’ll start to crave meaningful closeness with other individuals, and sex can stir up strong emotions. Sharing the real you with someone you trust can empower you and foster intimacy in the next few weeks. Doer Mars darts into that same house on March 22nd, revving up your libido and narrowing your focus to close connections and immersive endeavors. You won’t be inclined to scatter your energy in the next several weeks and will have the patience to see things through to the end. Try looking at this Mars transit as a highly productive rabbit hole.

A Sun-Neptune alignment in that part of your chart on the 17th coaxes you to connect with another person and tune into your own psychological undercurrents. Under this influence, boundaries are blurry, and everything feels intense and complex. Ground yourself by keeping it as simple as you can. When Venus runs into mature Saturn on March 21st, relationships are bound to feel like a big deal. This alliance underscores the importance of investing in another human being. If you’re not fully in it though, it could be time to reassess — and possibly sever ties.

In contrast, your ruler, the Sun, is due to blaze a trail through your exploration realm, starting on March 19th. In the month that follows, your personal viewfinder widens, and you’ll begin to see the big picture once again. Mental Mercury is hanging here from March 9th to May 15th, persuading you to broaden your mind through travel and other stimulating experiences instead of narrowing your focus to one person or thing, as Venus and Mars are inclining you to do. Exposing yourself to more of what the world has to offer will help you grow.

The opposite house, which rules communication and mindset, is rocked by a Lunar Eclipse on March 25th. Info could stream in, or you might have a conversation that shifts your thinking. A brilliant idea could also come to you out of the blue. If you’re a writer, you may finally finish a project or have a breakthrough. Your thoughts and emotions are closely connected now, making it easier for you to express your feelings, and you might be surprised by how much you disclose. A development in your neighborhood — or involving a sibling — could seem to come out of left field and compel you to respond. A series of eclipses from April 2023 to March 2025 is affecting your learning, communication, travel, thought patterns and beliefs. This particular one can cause you to change your mind or adjust to the amped-up atmosphere around you. If you feel pulled in a hundred different directions, take a breath and pick a few things you can address now. Your nervous energy can propel you to bounce from one thing to the next, but try not to let the eclipse send you into a frenzy.

Venus’s vibe with abundant Jupiter on the 24th implies that a creative partnership, a powerful connection or a financial resource will facilitate your success. And when Venus clicks with progressive Uranus on March 28th, passionate conviction or personal support can somehow catalyze a change in your professional position or the image you present to the world. If you’re in a serious relationship, your bond could take an interesting leap forward.


Virgo

VIRGO

August 23–September 22


On March 3rd, you’ll probably get distracted and crave an escape, due to Venus’s run-in with disruptive Uranus. Although you might simply shoot off on an enjoyable tangent, you could come up with an innovative approach to whatever you were doing or find a creative solution to a problem. Mars has the same skirmish with Uranus on the 9th, triggering feelings of restlessness and causing you to veer off track.
Don’t be too rigid. Give yourself an out when you need a diversion.

A New Moon rises in your interpersonal angle on March 10th, hinting that a fresh partnership — romantic, creative, business or some other kind — may be in the pipeline. Is it time to redefine one of your bonds or take it to the next level? Are your close relationships thriving? Are they based on mutual respect and support? With amiable Venus sauntering into that angle on the 11th, the next few weeks will be even more relationship-oriented. You can easily find common ground with — and enjoy the company of — other individuals, so put plenty of one-on-one plans on the calendar. If you’re ready to make peace with someone, extend the olive branch. And you definitely shouldn’t go it alone after proactive Mars shows up in the same part of your chart on March 22nd. Seek out a partner in crime, whether it’s an exercise buddy, a professional partner or a companion for your latest endeavor. For the next six weeks, one-on-one collaboration is the way to go. You might notice more tension in a close connection. This is a good time to get grievances out in the open and deal with them head-on.

But when the Sun and murky Neptune convene there on the 17th, it could be hard for you to understand your role in a relationship and see yourself from the other person’s POV. Maybe you’re giving up a lot to be together and you’re losing sight of your identity. If someone is eclipsing or exhausting you, try to get some distance in order to find your bearings and regain your vitality and individuality. The Venus-Saturn coalition on March 21st gives your bonds even more weight, and this might feel like a commit-or-quit turning point. Are you ready to make things more official? If so, you could decide to take the next step with your S.O. or seal the deal in a collaboration. But if a close connection isn’t working, serious Saturn can compel you to call it a day.

You’ll dive even deeper after the focalizing Sun enters your merging sector on March 19th, shining a light on an important relationship, a private emotional matter, a passion project or an investigation. You’ll give it your full attention, especially with mental Mercury lodged there from March 9th to May 15th. The Sun’s presence ensures that you’ll draw energy and strength from intimacy and sharing.

The line between your emotional needs and material desires is blurred by a Lunar Eclipse in your resources province on March 25th, increasing the odds of retail therapy. Or a financial payout could be in the cards, especially if you’ve recently made a change in how you earn an income or manage money. An eclipse cycle lasting from April 2023 to March 2025 has been shaking up your finances and outside resources — as well as your confidence and close relationships. Your money, possessions, self-esteem, personal values or assets are reaching a turning point now. Instead of immediately reacting to this development, you might consider how all of this is interconnected. How does your self-worth influence your attitude toward finances and belongings? Do your priorities reflect what’s most important to you? Are you making the most of what you have going for you? Does it feel like you’re lacking something? Do you fear losing what you have and subsequently hold on too tight? Under this Full Moon, you’re meant to honor your own needs while also respecting those of others. If you’re having trouble with the delicate balance of give-and-take, the eclipse could push you to keep working on self-reliance and sharing, without tipping the scales too far in one direction.

Venus’s alliance with expansive Jupiter on the 24th encourages you to enjoy a trip or an exciting learning experience with a companion. And the love planet’s hookup with Uranus on March 28th invites you to liven things up by sharing an unplanned adventure or another novel exploit. This pairing also favors meeting someone new and different — possibly while traveling. Even if you’re hanging with someone you already know, they could open your eyes in a valuable way.


Libra

LIBRA

September 23–October 22


On March 3rd, as your ruler, Venus, tussles with unpredictable Uranus, try to enjoy life in the moment without getting too hooked on the reaction you want to elicit from someone. Do what makes you happy, and if another person shares your feelings, that’s icing on the cake. Just remember their feelings are never going to be exactly the same as yours, because you’re distinct individuals.
An impulse to control the whole equation doesn’t leave room for pleasant surprises. Let people be who they are and give them a chance to love you for who you are. When Mars elbows Uranus on the 9th, a sexual attraction could ignite and perhaps catch you by surprise. Given the combustible nature of this cosmic combo, there’s also a chance you’ll pursue what — or whom — you want and not get the response you’re expecting. Don’t forget: That’s not always a bad thing.

On a more pragmatic note, the New Moon of March 10th lands in your efficiency corner. In the coming weeks, you could get organized, launch a job search, streamline your schedule, make medical appointments and tweak your diet or workout regimen. It’s a great time for developing a new habit that enhances your productivity or wellbeing. With Venus arriving in that corner on the 11th, you could start to enjoy your work more and take pleasure in everyday routines. It won’t be too hard to get into a nice, effective flow. And after Mars shows up there on the 22nd, you’re highly motivated to put your nose to the grindstone. Ideally, you’ll be able to blaze through your to-do list, tackle work projects, stay on top of daily duties and exercise regularly. You’ll get a charge out of being industrious and helpful, but you might butt heads when working with others, so operate independently whenever you can in the next month and a half.

A Sun-Neptune coalition in that same spot on March 17th implies you’re prepared to sacrifice in order to be of service. You could lose yourself in challenging work that feels satisfying. It’s important to take care of yourself so you don’t burn out. Venus and Saturn have a similar summit on March 21st, which could get you thinking about the work that’s required to strengthen a relationship or your health. Whether you’re trying to improve your wellness, your job satisfaction or an important connection, it’s time to recommit to this mission. You might analyze the problems you’ve having with someone or analyze where your self-care is falling short. This planetary pairing also nudges you to support colleagues and other people you often cross paths with.

Your connections with other individuals are highlighted as the focalizing Sun surges into your interpersonal angle on March 19th. You can derive energy from your relationships in the coming month and discover things about yourself through your bonds. With messenger Mercury also in that angle from March 9th to May 15th, you’ll be busy doing what you do so well — connecting one-on-one. So reach out and engage with others.

The spotlight is on YOU on March 25th as a Lunar Eclipse shakes up your sign. You’re at the midpoint of a cycle that extends from April 2023 to March 2025. Even if your life hasn’t changed dramatically during this time, you probably have. If you started something in the last five months, it might come to fruition now — or you may realize it’s not working. Self-evaluation is in order so you can assess what should stay and what should go. This eclipse can make you feel very emotional, temperamental and even needy. Put yourself first and advocate for what you need without infringing on others’ rights. If people aren’t supporting you the way you’d like, focus on nurturing yourself. You can’t avoid the spotlight now and might decide you’re not satisfied with how you’re coming across. This is an opportune time to get past an aspect of your image and release something (or someone) that isn’t nourishing you. Is it dimming your light? Time to move on. Eclipses tend to sweep things away like the tide, so you may not have much say in the matter. You’re meant to be transforming, not clinging to the status quo.

On the 24th and 28th, Venus’s mashups with Jupiter and Uranus encourage you to make work or everyday life more fun by pairing up with another person and maybe trying things their way. If you’re aiming to improve a certain relationship, you might have a bit of a breakthrough now, especially if you discover something about yourself.


Scorpio

SCORPIO

October 23–November 21


As Venus provokes unpredictable Uranus in your interpersonal angle on March 3rd, an unreliable person might disrupt your peaceful mood or your home life. It’s easy to get annoyed when someone throws a curveball at you, and there are times when you need to let them know it’s not okay. Just tune into your own emotional state before you call someone out.
It’s possible that you’re projecting your own feelings onto others. Better to find that out first! A similar Mars-Uranus scuffle on the 9th might prompt a sudden outburst if you’re holding in anger. Actions tend to be rather compulsive when Mars is residing at the base of your chart, triggering unconscious patterns. A relationship could be disrupted, particularly if you need to break free. If you get into a conflict, you may not be able to press pause, but even recognizing your emotions and motives after the fact can help you regroup.

On the 10th, a New Moon in your joie-de-vivre arena suggests fresh romance could be in the pipeline, or you might be on the brink of a fruitful creative period. This lunation inspires you to find untrodden paths to love and happiness — especially if you’ve been settling for anything short of an enriching, well-rounded life. After lovely Venus dances into that house on March 11th, you’ll be in the mood to get out and have more fun over the next few weeks. Schedule dates and nights out with friends, let your inner artiste out to play and wear your heart on your sleeve. Mars charges into the same part of your chart on March 22nd, firing you up to do as you please. You’ll be inclined to pursue creative self-expression, amour, hobbies and whatever else makes you happy. In the six weeks that follow, you might roll the dice and make the first move with someone you’re attracted to.

Bonding with someone you’re drawn to has an addictive appeal during a Sun-Neptune summit on the 17th. You’re susceptible to escapist fun and might overdo it. Plus, the illusion of healing someone with your love or being saved by an ideal lover is hard to resist. Getting lost in pleasurable emotions can be blissful, but it’s important to maintain your own identity if that bliss involves another person. When Venus aligns with staid Saturn on March 21st, a casual affair could turn serious. You might have a heart-to-heart about where things are headed and finally define the relationship or go your separate ways. Single Scorpios may see the appeal of commitment and decide to focus on connections that have LTR potential. If you’re diving into an artistic project or hobby, you could start to treat it as more than just passing fun.

After the energizing Sun segues into your efficiency corner on the 19th for its annual month-long visit, you’ll have the fuel to work hard AND improve your health. This can be a highly productive period as you zero in on your to-do list and get on your grind. And thanks to mental Mercury’s presence there from March 9th to May 15th, you’ll be able to think analytically, get organized and direct your efforts prudently.

Your attention shifts inward on March 25th when a Lunar Eclipse hits your subliminal sector. Don’t underestimate your dreams and hunches. All those symbols, messages and inklings bubbling beneath the surface are loaded with value. You could have some sort of spiritual awakening, as this eclipse makes it impossible to ignore your inner life. It’s part of a series spanning from April 2023 to March 2025 that’s impacting your inner and outer lives, compelling you to find a better balance between them. Secrets could come to light, or buried emotions may get dredged up. You might be overwhelmed by compassion and experience a feeling of oneness with the universe. If you’ve been clinging to something or someone you’ve outgrown, this lunation pushes you to finally let go. You’re clearing the decks for something better. Release any loss, regret, guilt, failure or mistake that’s haunting you. Forgive yourself! This eclipse wants you to hold the tension between striving to improve and surrendering to the peace of acceptance. Seek the middle ground between “control freak” and “out of control.”

Your interactions will feel free-flowing on the 24th as Venus gels with expansive Jupiter. You might meet a new romantic prospect if you’re open to that. The potential for love, fun and creative collaboration is also high on March 28th, thanks to Venus’s vibe with Uranus. An attraction to someone completely unexpected could spark, or you may enjoy hanging out with someone who strikes you as quirky and different.


Sagittarius

SAGITTARIUS

November 22–December 21


When amiable Venus quibbles with erratic Uranus on March 3rd, a change related to work, health or current circumstances might affect your pleasant mindset and compel you to shift gears. Don’t stress if things fail to unfold according to plan. Leave room in your schedule for variables. This transit might complicate communication. Talk in person if you can, and stick to the script to avoid miscues.
Mars and Uranus have a similar disagreement on the 9th, and your plan for how to proceed might clash with a situation that’s in flux. No matter how enthused you are about your ideas and intentions, you’ll still need to adapt to whatever reality you’re faced with. However, if you’re looking to spark a revolution, your assertiveness could foment change around you. This is also a good transit for pushing yourself to make changes that impact your job, your wellness or your daily routine.

Changes could impact your living situation when a New Moon lands in your domestic angle on March 10th. Renovating or relocating might be in the cards, or you might get a new roommate or a new addition to the family soon. It’s a good time to establish a new self-care ritual, since this lunation promotes enhanced comfort and ease. Venus enters that angle the next day, reminding you that there’s no place like home. In the next few weeks, you may feel like cocooning, redecorating, entertaining, hanging with relatives and relishing simple comforts like good food. And after Mars shows up in the same spot on the 22nd, you’ll be busier around the house during the month and a half that follows — perhaps tackling a household project or working from home. You might feel prickly, particularly around family members and people you live with. Keeping an eye on your mood can help to prevent compulsive behavior.

On March 17th, a Sun-Neptune conference in that part of your chart can lure you into private memories and emotions, and you might view them through rose-colored glasses. Alone time should soothe you, so don’t hesitate to carve out a slice of solitude. Venus holds her annual summit with serious Saturn on the 21st, and their meetup is also taking place at the base of your chart. You could get nostalgic or a bit blue and should once again make self-care a priority. You’re in the mood to nest and spend time with people who feel safe and familiar. Your craving for security might extend to a desire for romantic commitment. Or you could be focused on family or roommate bonds and what it will take to strengthen a specific relationship.

With the energizing Sun surging into your personal-fulfillment zone on March 19th (and communicative Mercury lodged there from March 9th to May 15th), you’ll be fired up to express your individuality and enjoy life. You want the freedom to be yourself and to do as you please, and having a good time is important to you now. Fun, romance, creativity, humor and leisurely pursuits like hobbies take precedence,

The Lunar Eclipse of March 25th shakes up the opposite house, which rules the network of people in your life. If a particular group is no longer right for you, you might feel ready to walk away now. Perhaps you’ll stop short of cutting ties and just switch up your role so your place in the group is different. Or maybe you’ve outgrown a difficult friendship and haven’t been able to pull the plug. This supercharged Full Moon provides the Do Not Resuscitate order you need. Strong feelings could cause drama in your squad, and you may be torn between playing peacekeeper and staying out of it. Or a social media post could blow up, since this house also governs technology. A team collaboration can reach fruition, allowing you to pivot to new goals and interests on your radar. This eclipse is part of a cycle that started in April 2023 and will end in March 2025. Your love life, personal fulfillment, self-expression, group affiliations, friendships and social media presence could all be feeling the effects. You’re called to balance marching to your own beat and falling in line. No easy feat! Feel free to be your authentic self, pursue what makes you happy and love whomever you choose to love. In the process, you’ll find your true tribe.

When Venus vibes with Jupiter and Uranus on March 24th and 28th, consider that your cue to hang at Chez Sag. You might simply savor the pleasures of home—or you could beautify and organize your space in one fell swoop, improving both the aesthetics and the efficiency.


Capricorn

CAPRICORN

December 22–January 19


You might choose temporary pleasure over long-term security when covetous Venus in your worth province provokes anarchic Uranus in your joy arena on March 3rd. Your desires are pretty concrete, and the urge to have what you want could come back to bite you. Think twice before you gamble on something (or someone) that’s far from a sure bet.
To keep life interesting and satisfy your whims, find small ways to rebel without breaking the bank or violating your values. When just-do-it Mars has the same battle with Uranus on the 9th, you’ll need to guard against impulse buys if you’re trying to stick to a budget. You can ride out the urge as long as you’re determined to exercise caution. Fortunately, there’s a possibility that you’ll quickly put your resources to good use and instigate spontaneous fun. You might try aiming for that positive outcome.

Learning is what you’ll most crave on March 10th as a New Moon rises in your mindset-and-communication zone. You might begin to ask questions, gather intel and assemble the pieces of the puzzle in your head. Soon, you could start studying something new, embark on a writing project or dig into your TBR pile. A development involving your neighborhood or siblings could also be imminent. Your attitude brightens, and your social life picks up, after Venus dances into that zone on the 11th. Noticing the warmth in your interactions and the beauty in your environment will keep your spirits high over the next few weeks. After Mars shows up there on March 22nd, you’re emboldened to speak up and advocate for yourself. You’re no pushover in the six weeks ahead and could successfully pitch an idea of yours. Restlessness might lead you to travel, or you might become more active in your community.

With the Sun and Neptune meshing there on the 17th, you may feel confused or gullible. But you could also read someone’s mind or discover spiritual truths. A similar Venus-Saturn rendezvous on March 21st turns your attention to weighty matters. You might secure a solid contact or meet an appealing older person. If you’re due for a serious talk with someone, lay your cards on the table and discuss where things stand between you. It’s also a good time to solicit friendly advice or organize a community event.

You’ll be more focused on home and family after the Sun slips down to your domestic angle on the 19th. Relaxing at Casa Capricorn is more appealing now than being out and about in the world. Familiar surroundings and people will ground you. You shouldn’t hesitate to carve out alone time to unwind and contemplate your private emotions. And while mental Mercury is in that sentimental house from March 9th to May 15th, don’t be surprised if your thoughts drift to the past.

A Lunar Eclipse at the peak of your chart on March 25th could spell a shift in your career path or life direction. A cycle of eclipses spanning from April 2023 to March 2025 is instigating changes in your home life and professional life and pushing you to find a better balance. Where you come from and what brought you to this point in your life are primary areas of focus. And yet, where you’re headed and what mark you want to make in the world are also grabbing your attention. You need a secure emotional foundation and stable home base that support you. Otherwise, you won’t be able to achieve your ambitious aims. And although you get sustenance from this comfort zone, you can’t stay there forever. This eclipse can push you into the limelight and compel you to rise to the occasion. Promote yourself and show off your capabilities. Assume a higher profile. A goal could come to fruition, or it might become obvious that you’re at a crossroads and should reset your GPS. If a certain destination no longer resonates with you, it’s time for a change. Maybe you’ve peaked and are ready for a fresh challenge.

On a different note, you’ll have the courage to wear your heart on your sleeve as ardent Venus harmonizes with honest Jupiter on March 24th. It will feel good to show affection freely, and you might make a love connection while you’re out having a good time. A similar Venus-Uranus encounter on the 28th can make your interactions pleasant and warm, and you might be attracted to someone new. Impromptu fun with a companion is highly favored, so snag a plus-one and enjoy life.


Aquarius

AQUARIUS

January 20–February 18


With Venus in Aquarius battling your ruler, Uranus, on March 3rd, a mood swing or a domestic disruption might come out of nowhere and make it harder for you to relate to people and project a pleasant vibe. You want peace, but there’s a private part of you that doesn’t feel settled and secure.
A parent or housemate might throw you for a loop, in which case you may need to address the problem before you can get back to enjoying life. Mars is also in your sign, mobilizing you to jump into action. But his spat with Uranus on the 9th hints that whatever you do could bring up unexpected emotions — and you can’t predict how the people around you will respond. You might try channeling this somewhat volatile energy into making necessary changes that improve your living situation. If you stay flexible, you may be able to further your own interests and liberate yourself from a situation you feel stuck in.

The New Moon in your worth precinct on March 10th will shift your attention to money matters. A fresh source of income could be in the pipeline. Start thinking about how you earn a living and how you might improve your finances. After Venus sails into that same house the next day, both your desire for nice things AND your ability to earn what you need can increase, making money “easy come, easy go” for a few weeks. Be on the lookout for financial opportunities, and try to match your taste to your budget if you’re worried about overspending. Mars arrives in that part of your chart on the 22nd, prompting you to deal more proactively with your finances and possessions in the six weeks that follow. Strive to make good use of your resources and to act in accordance with your values and priorities. You could drum up more revenue, but you could also splurge without thinking and regret it later. Press pause and ask yourself what deeper need you might be trying to fill.

A Sun-Neptune mashup in that house on the 17th can elicit fears around not having enough, not being enough, and losing what you have. You’re in danger of blending your identity with your belongings and your financial status — and thus, assuming that your material and monetary worth define you. Don’t lose sight of higher values, and don’t take unnecessary risks. Losing yourself in nature will be a welcome treat for your senses, so get outside and wander! You could become more serious about a plan to get what you want when Venus and Saturn convene on March 21st. You’re craving stability and security and are prepared to focus on practical steps. Get your priorities in order and surround yourself with reliable people.

The energizing Sun segues into your thinking-and-talking corner on March 19th, revving up your brain and breathing life into your everyday encounters. Turn your attention to your communication style, habitual thoughts, local community and siblings — and try to understand how they affect you. The month that follows is a great time for learning, taking short trips, connecting with people and expressing yourself. The same holds true while messenger Mercury hangs in that house from March 9th to May 15th.

When a Lunar Eclipse lands in your exploration sector on March 25th, an urge for adventure could push you to take a risk in search of new experiences that blow your mind wide open. A leap of faith may be necessary to see an entrepreneurial venture through to completion. It’s also possible that a publishing project or legal matter will reach a crescendo. Since your feelings and views are closely intertwined now, you’ll be extra outspoken and are likely to identify strongly with your POV. But this lunation represents your annual nudge to let go of an outdated belief that limits your growth. It’s part of a cycle of eclipses from April 2023 to March 2025 that’s changing the way you think. You might feel more restless than ever to explore the world through travel and education or to fast forward into the future where your vision is already a reality. An eclipse like this can generate a major epiphany that raises your consciousness and shifts your trajectory.

Venus’s chemistry with Jupiter and Uranus in your domestic angle on March 24th and 28th favors shopping for home goods. You might be surprised by your changing tastes, but you can rely on your instincts during these planetary pairings. Valuing yourself can also improve your living situation or a family matter on those days.
