PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 19) Well! March is a wild month, so get ready! It starts off with a dreamy Sun-Neptune conjunction in your own sign at the same time as a busy little Mercury-Mars square. That’s kind of a contradictory combination, but please don’t stress about it since it’s quite fast. Just expect to be energetically distracted. Jupiter and the North Lunar Node sit close together for the first couple of weeks of the month, continuing the positive vibes in relationships. Speaking of Jupiter, it is moving retrograde in Virgo into its square to Saturn, which is quite exact for the last two weeks of the month. This is a major transit for everyone, and especially for mutable signs like yourself. It will challenge you to bring into balance some desires for expansion with the need for restraint, facilitating sound planning. The backdrop for this is likely to be global economic influences, but keep in mind that Jupiter and Saturn act in other arenas besides financial ones. But I digress…. There is a big total solar eclipse on the new moon in Pisces late on the 8^th. Remember that eclipses can bring surprises, especially if your birthday falls close to the 8^th… This new moon has strong aspects of the Sun to Saturn and Jupiter so the financial issues mentioned above may be very highlighted. There are also interesting Mercury-Neptune aspects, which are wonderful for intuitive process but be sure your getting the real facts about financial matters around this new moon. Mid-month, Venus moves into Pisces and squares Mars in Sag, which is nice for any kind of shared purpose or collaboration. By the 19^th Venus catches up to Neptune for a few days of delightful romantic exchange and artistic inspiration. Then it’s the spring equinox on the 20^th and on the 23^rd, a full moon in Libra and partial lunar eclipse brings some breakthroughs in how you see people. Get ready to have a projection or two fall away… Keep in mind that this month is the last serious blast of the Uranus-Pluto square, so the world may be rockin’ and rollin’ but we really are nearing the end of this dramatically tumultuous time….

ARIES (MAR 20-APRIL19) March is a wild month, so put on your seat belt one more time! Jupiter and the North Node in Virgo continue to sit together for the first week of March, bringing nice relationship dynamics. The dominant influence of the month, however, is the Saturn-Jupiter square, which starts moving into place by the second week of March. In fact, the new moon (and eclipse!) in Pisces late on the 8^th involves this aspect. Saturn and Jupiter can be a benevolent combo, an aspect of sound decision-making and realistic growth. Globally, expect a major economic shift over the next couple of months, and personally you will have the opportunity to be very grounded and act ….well, judiciously. Allow yourself to feel supported. Mercury in Pisces catches up to Neptune also right around this new moon, so you will be powerfully intuitive. The week of the 13^th brings a beautiful Venus-Mars square, nice for collaborative effort. Venus keep on moving in Pisces and right before the Equinox spends a few days conjunct Neptune. You’ll be in a dreamy and romantic state just in time for the Sun to enter Aries on the 20^th.   There is a full moon and partial eclipse on the 23^rd. This full moon will bring some surprising reality checks about relationships.

TAURUS (APR 20-MAY 20) March is a busy little month, astrologically speaking! A Jupiter North Node conjunction at the start contributes to satisfying and fun connections with people. There is a total solar eclipse and new moon in Pisces late on the 8^th. This powerful lunation captures the effect of the Saturn Jupiter square that is moving into position for a couple of months. This combination, which will have a big global impact on economies and politics, will bring you some re-orientation and perhaps resolution concerning to legal and financial matters. Additionally, it is a wonderful aspect for long-range thinking and planning, because Saturn and Jupiter together create a sense of balanced growth and stability. Nice! Keep in mind that around the new moon Mercury catches up to Neptune for a few days of spaciness… But it’s followed by a nice Venus-Mars square the week of the 13^th which facilitates shared effort and collaboration. By the 18^th Venus gets your creative juices flowing. Then it’s the Spring Equinox on the 20^th !   Yay!   There is a full moon in Libra (and another eclipse) on the 23^rd. The eclipses add a surprise factor to an already powerful set of lunations so expect this full moon to strip the clothes off of an emperor or two….By the end of the month the Saturn-Jupiter square is quite exact. Use it for planning.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Oh jeez, March is wild! The month starts with a weird combination of agitation and spaciness – at least it’s a fast moving influence. Jupiter and the North Lunar Node sit together in Virgo for the first half of the month, continuing the positive vibes in relationships. There is a powerful new moon and total solar eclipse on March 8^th, and this lunation has strong Saturn Jupiter aspects. Keep in mind that Saturn and Jupiter are moving into an exact square this month, and this aspect will dominate the sky for a few months. Since you are a mutable sign, this will have a particular effect on you. The new moon will bring some surprises – but that’s more a global thing. For you personally this is a time for you to face reality about resources and reallocate and plan. Saturn and Jupiter really emphasize sound planning, and long range thinking. It can definitely be about financial resources and real estate, and it is also about your internal emotional and creative resources. Saturn reins in Jupiter’s excess and Jupiter softens Saturn’s edges. Use them! Mid month Venus moves into a square to Mars for a few days of shared purpose and collaboration. Then Venus catches up to Neptune by the 18^th and you get all confused about romance. It will pass. Happy Spring on the 20^th! Then there is a Libra full moon on the 23^rd and also a partial eclipse. You’ll have to see a situation or relationship exactly for what it is….

CANCER (JUNE 21- JUL 21) March is kind of a crazy month, bringing some ups and downs. The Jupiter –North Node conjunction continues for a couple of weeks, which is very nice for connections and relationships. There is a powerful new moon in Pisces on the 8^th – and also a total solar eclipse. Eclipses add an element of drama to lunations, so this one will be interesting. The Saturn -Jupiter square which moves into position this month strongly aspects this new moon, so there will be drama. I expect global economic shifts and a major realignments in the US primary season….. Personally for you this Saturn Jupiter aspect is a different story. These two planets bring a kind of wisdom and solidity which will feel good. It is a time for you to take stock of your resources on all levels –but particularly financial — and do some long-range planning. Reallocate resources if need be – my sense is that a global economic hit is coming. Saturn and Jupiter have to do with maturity, and under their influence we can make sound decisions. But back to the personal planets…. Venus and Mars make a square for a few days starting on the 13^th, which is great for shared effort. Right after that Venus catches up to Neptune which will get your creative juices flowing. Spring comes on the 20^th (yay!) and then there is a full moon (and eclipse) in Libra on the 23^rd. You will see something surprising in a relationship….

LEO (JUL 22-AUG 21) March is a wild month, and kind of different from what we’ve been experiencing. Keep in mind that the dominant influence this month is a Jupiter-Saturn square. Globally, expect an economic realignment and personally, it is a great time to assess resources and make long-term decisions. But I digress.   The month starts with a weird combination of agitation and distraction, and then there is a powerful new moon in Pisces and total solar eclipse on the 8^th.   This lunation captures the influence of Saturn and Jupiter, introducing a sense of groundedness and accountability into the public sphere. Eclipses bring a surprise factor, so there is likely to be drama and change in the US political primary cycle as well as big economic shifts. Personally you too get to have a realignment. Saturn and Jupiter promote sound decision-making, especially in the financial realm. If you have decisions to make, this is a good time. Saturn reins in Jupiter’s excess and Jupiter softens Saturn’s toughness. The week of the 13^th Venus and Mars make a nice angle for collaboration and shared effort. It is followed by an inspirational Venus-Neptune conjunction, so indulge your dreaminess a bit in your long range planning. Then it’s the spring equinox on the 20^th, and a full moon and eclipse on the 23^rd. This full moon in Libra will help you clarify some relationships.

VIRGO (AUG 22- SEPT 21)  March is wild, but at least you have the benefit of Jupiter being in your own sign of Virgo. The month starts with you being uncharacteristically spacey and really busy at the same time… This moves quickly, and there is still the delightful Jupiter-North Node conjunction in place for the first couple of weeks, bringing good times with friends and intimates. Then there is a powerful new moon and solar eclipse in Pisces on the 8^th. This lunation carries strong Saturn-Jupiter influences, which is very important. Saturn in Sag and Jupiter in Virgo moves into a square this month and this influence will dominate for a few months, in fact. Globally it will have a huge impact, especially financially, and let’s hope the soundness of these planets knocks some sense into the US primary season… But for you personally is a time for making sound long-term decisions.   This influence helps us all assess resources and reallocate if need be, but it especially important for you as a mutable sign. By the end of the month the square is exact – really use this combination to make some decisions about your future. But back to the personal planets… By the 13^th Venus and Mars make an aspect that facilitates shared effort and collaboration for a few days. Then Venus brings some creative inspiration your way just in time for spring equinox on the 20^th. Then there is a full moon in Libra (and eclipse!) on the 23^rd. Get ready to have to see a relationship for what it really is.

LIBRA (SEPT 22-OCT21) If February was calm, March is a hot mess. The month begins with a weird combination of agitation and spaciness. Don’t worry – it passes quickly. The big news this month – and we will all feel it early in March – is that Saturn and Jupiter are moving into a square position.   This aspect is triggered by the new moon and solar eclipse on March 8^th. It is an interesting combination that globally will bring an economic shift of some sort and may introduce some sense into the US primary season. It is all about being reasonable, judicious, and planful, perhaps even wise, and it has a particular impact on financial realms. For you personally it is a great aspect for taking stock of your resources and making some long-term decisions. So be sure to use this aspect – you’ll have a few months of it.   Speaking of Jupiter, before it gets hooked up with Saturn it continues to be close to the North Node, bringing a lot of fun connections with friends and intimates. Back to the personal planets… Venus and Mars facilitate some good collaborations the week of the 13^th, and then look for romance and intimacy around the 18^th. Spring comes on the 20^th and then a full moon in Libra and another eclipse. This is a bog one for you – you may have to drop some illusions or have those rose-colored glasses taken away….. Just sayin’.

SCORPIO (OCT 22-NOV 21) March is kinda wild! It starts off with you feeling agitated and strange –ignore it, it passes quickly.   Focus more on the powerful new moon in Pisces on the 8^th. This powerful lunation is also a total solar eclipse, bringing some surprises and drama to the world. It also captures the energy of the Saturn-Jupiter square. Globally there is likely to be an economic hit and politically there could be some shockingly good judgment emerge. Wow, who knows, perhaps Saturn and Jupiter will knock some sense into the US primary season…. The Saturn Jupiter square is important for you personally but on a somewhat different level. It is about making sound decisions, and doing long-range planning. It is about assessing where you are investing personal resources—not just money but time and energy. These planets call forth wisdom in you. Use it! But also have a good time. Jupiter and the North Node will facilitate good connections with people for the first half of the month. Venus and Mars will emphasize shared effort and collaboration starting on the 13^th for a few days.   Venus and Neptune will bring creative inspiration around the 18^th. And then it’s spring!   There is a Libra full moon on the 23^rd – you’ll have to straighten out some personal boundaries.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22- DEC 21) March is kinda intense and interesting….It starts with a Mercury Mars square pulling you in a million directions. Between that and the Jupiter North Node conjunction everyone wants a piece of you. Get ready for the March 8^th New moon in Pisces and solar eclipse—it is powerful in its own right and it also pulls in the influence of the Saturn –Jupiter square. Saturn in Sag squaring Jupiter in Virgo is a very important aspect for you as a Sag, calling forth your most stellar wisdom. The world will go through some changes – mainly economic, but political ones too – because there is a kind of accountability that gets enacted. This influence gets into position this month and lasts a few months. For you, it’s a time to make decisions, plans, and think about the long-term. It is a time to ground your Sagittarian inspiration in real-world decisions. The arena is often financial and it is also more than that – time, energy, work, any kind of resource. Saturn reins in Jupiter’s excess a bit and Jupiter softens Saturn’s edges. It is an interesting time – use it! Back to the personal planets…. Mars and Venus make for collaboration around the 13^th, followed by creative inspiration on the 18^th from Venus and Neptune. It’s the spring equinox on the 20^th, and a full moon in Libra on the 23^rd. Check your boundaries!

CAPRICORN (Dec 21-Jan19) March is wild!   It starts off with a few days of agitation and spaciness – how weird is that?—but against a backdrop of Jupiter-Node fun with friends. Get ready for the new moon in Pisces on the 8^th, which comes with a solar eclipse and the beginnings of the Saturn –Jupiter square. Globally, it will be kinda crazy – expect a global economic hit and also some accountability.   This influence may be a righting of the ship in some ways. We may see US Republicans try to rein in Trump, for example. It will be entertaining, to say the least! But personally – this is a very important aspect because it has to do with assessing your resources – financial as well as personal, emotional, work, and spiritual.   It is time to use some grounded wisdom and engage in long term planning and decision-making. Don’t be afraid to reallocate resources. These are big, sound planets. Lean on them!   Meanwhile….mid month Venus and Mars pair up for a few days of excellent shared purpose, followed on the 18^th by Venus messing with your romantic expectations. Then it’s spring on the 20^th! There is a full moon in Libra and eclipse on the 23^rd – you will have to face some stark reality in relationships.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20-FEB 19) March is kinda wild but damned interesting! It starts with you being busy and distracted but that passes quickly. There is also the continuing fun aspect of Jupiter and the North Node inspiring you to have a good time with friends for the first 10 days of the month. Get ready for the big new moon in Pisces and solar eclipse on the 8^th. This important lunation captures the influence of the Jupiter-Saturn square which is the dominant aspect of this month and months to come. It operates on a few levels. Globally we will likely see an economic realignment, another piece of blowback from the banking crisis, and politically we will see some accountability exerted on the insane US Republican candidates. It will be interesting!   Personally, for you, it’s different story but no less important. It’s tie to make some decisions and plans, to think long-term, to assess your resources and reallocate. This can be about money and land, and also about other kinds of resources as well. Call forth some wisdom, honey, you have it in you.   Meanwhile Venus squares Mars for a few days on the 13^th, which is great for shared effort and collaboration. Creativity abounds a few days later. Then it’s spring! Yay! And a full moon in Libra on the 23^rd. Look for a reality check in some relationships.
