March starts off with five planets in the sign of Pisces. Aries is usually a dynamo, but with your ruling planet, Mars, retrograde and so many planets taking a break, you do not feel as strong as usual. Because you are feeling so tired and worn out it’s a good time to take care of yourself. Make an appointment for an astrology reading or get a massage. The month starts out quiet so take time to listen to your intuition. By March 7th Venus has moved into your own sweet sign of the Ram and your ruling planet turns direct on the 10th. What a difference a week makes! Venus and Mars hook-up and there is a connection of love and passion that blows you away! The second half of March you have lots more energy and drive. Now is the time to put yourself forward. You are feeling romantic and sexy and no one can resist you!

As Mars turns direct on March 10th sweet Taurus is ready to buckle down and make some changes at home. If you have been thinking about a remodel, now is the time to act. You will be spending time on home issues so this can come out with company coming for a visit or you decide to do an early spring cleaning. I know most Bulls love to stay home but it looks like you are plenty busy this month and I don’t think you’re home much. This time is full of people. If you are looking for a job, now is the time to get in touch with an old friend and let them know you are looking. Don’t be afraid to step up and be a leader. Connections seem to flow easily all month. Make social contacts the first half of March when your people skills shine. By March 7th Venus slips into your 12th house of secrets and there could be a new romance you are not ready to share.

Gemini is still hard at work on projects begun last month. You still have Venus sitting at the top of your chart the first week of March so be sure to ask for help if you need it or use this time to deal with people that are not usually cooperative. Venus always helps smooth the way. The New Moon of March 15th can be another added bonus. You are offered a job if you are looking for one or are offered a promotion if you are already employed. All of these planets coming together can indicate changes in the workplace. I think overall this will benefit you with a renewed confidence and improved opportunities for advancement. Mars turns direct on March 10th and life gets more hectic. There is travel for business or long weekends out of town with friends. Be sure to make time for your friends because one of them could help you meet someone new that has you really paying attention.

The sign of the Crab has planets lighting up your life all month long. Some of the energies are great and some…. Not so much. Some of the great part would be Mars. Finally Mars has turned direct and your financial picture is starting to change for the better. Mars will stay here through June so you can see some real gain from now until them. At the beginning of March your ninth house of education has five visiting planets. If you are a teacher or involved in education in any way, this is a real boom. You receive recognition for a job well done. New positions open up and people make time for you. If you work in sales, well it just gets better and better. You easily make your quota or are able to bring in a new client that is a big fish. Kudos! Likewise you can begin a new course of study. It’s time to go to graduate school or even take a night class to study Spanish.

I love it when I get to tell people about receiving money. And that is you this month sweet Leo. Your money house overflows with energy and becomes a planetary hotspot. Usually this translates into extra cash. A bonus comes your way or you receive a big tax refund. Maybe more clients are booked this month or you win some cash on a scratch off ticket. The ways are endless but the bottom line is you are feeling more confident about fiancés than you have in a long time. With Mercury and Venus together the first week, it’s a good time to negotiate a raise or renew a contract. You and your partner may be having a serious discussion about family finances and how to balance the family budget. You will be feeling more relaxed about money. Just be sure you don’t pull out the old credit cards and spend any of this windfall before you have it.

Virgo is going to be enjoying a very romantic month. As March begins, we have Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Uranus and the Sun all in your house of love and marriage. For single Virgo’s this is the month to meet someone special. You are having an active social life and there seems to be an awful lot of new people who all think you are charming and wonderful. You can even start dating more than one person. Married Virgo’s will react to all this energy by spending some special time with their one and only. This can be a special romantic evening together, but it’s more likely that the two of you will find time to take a trip out of town and go somewhere you can relax and concentrate on each other. On March 7th lovely Venus moves into passionate Aries and sparks fly. There is plenty of passion going on in your life and the period between March 17th and March 30th.

Libra seems to be busy working this month, at least at the start of March. Your boss has you hopping with extra assignments and everyone seems to be turning to you as the go to person. The first week of March is especially favorable to sweet Libra. Now is the time to pitch your ideas to your boss, ask for a raise or bring different departments together to work. In short it looks like you can do no wrong. Even after Venus leaves on March 7th you still have plenty of planets working for you. If you need support either in your work life or personal life, March is the month to hire new people. Get yourself a personal assistant or place an ad for a housekeeper. You are able to find the best doctor or right professional to do your taxes. Take advantage of all the extra planetary help and make your life easier.

What fun! Scorpio has lots of planets in an area of your chart that deals with enjoying life. What could be better? Think about what brings pleasure into your life. Is it your children? Maybe finding new love? Or working joyfully with your creative talents? You can do all of the above this month sweet Scorpio. For many Scorpios this will be the month to start seeing a new romantic interest. There is so much activity here that you will be going to parties and turning those hypnotic eyes on a special new love. Between March 17th and March 30th your love life really heats up. And I’m just talking about single Scorpios either. Not only does your love life heat up but your work life does as well. Mars turns direct on March 10th and projects you put on the back burner heat up again. Take a chance because you have tremendous support from several planets. It’s a great time to shine.

There is no escaping all the energy swirling around your home. If the sign of the Archer is looking for a home, this is the month. You luck into your dream home. A lucky break comes your way. If you are thinking about a renovation, now is when you find the right contractor. And decorating? Don’t even get me started. Sagittarius will be shelling out big bucks to have the home of their dreams. Even if you have finished your renovation or redecorating now is the time to throw open your doors for a house warming party. And if you are not spending time on your home, believe me you’ll be dealing with family. Out of town relatives come to visit or you find yourself going to a family reunion. Sometimes old childhood issues and memories start to surface because there is a lot of energy here about the past. It’s not negative so embrace the chance to let go and grow!

For a sign that is considered to be quiet and reserved, Capricorn sure does seem to be talking a lot this month. March is all about how you communicate. How do you share your ideas and take care of the details of living? Venus is in loving Pisces the first week of March. Now is the time to iron out any difficulties with friends or relatives. You are able to listen and really share what is deep in your heat, something that is not always easy for you. I see lots of movement throughout the month. The sign of the Goat is getting ready for a move, but it could also be your company that decides upon a new location. Capricorn is the one put in charge of making everything run smoothly. There you are stuck in meetings and on the phone with various vendors. I hope you have unlimited minutes on your phone because March is a BIG phone month. But you handle it all with aplomb!

I get to give Aquarius some very good news this month. I see more money coming toward you. How’s that for a great way to start March! Mercury moves into Pisces on March 1st, joining Venus, Jupiter, Uranus and the Sun already there. This is your area of earned income so it’s likely that your increased bottom line is tied to your profession. Of course this can relate to a raise or promotion, but it can also mean a second job. For those looking for a job, I think March will see big gains. Just make sure you put aside a few dollars. There can be a desire here (especially the first week of March) to spend extra money on new clothes and fancy toys. By all means treat yourself to a nice reward for your promotion but set up a long-term savings plan for the rest. I would stay close to home this month as Saturn is fighting with that impulsive Aries energy. Curb your impatience and you’ll do fine.

Pisces starts the month out with several planets in your own sweet sign of the Fishes. There is an extra dose of glamour and charisma for you, especially the first week of March. People find you attractive and want to be your friend. Men and women want to ask you out. Yes siree, you are one busy soul this month. With so much energy illuminating your sign, there is almost nothing you can’t do. So ask for a favor if you need one and step out center stage. You will be feeling more sure of yourself and more ready to act on those feelings. Saturn faces off against some of this Aries energy and you end up feeling both positive and negative at the same time. It’s going to be a little confusing. It’s not too bad, but curb your impulsive tendencies in terms of investments. Do your homework instead.
