PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 19)  Well, it’s a complicated month—what can I say? The good news is that Venus and Mars continue to move in tandem all the way til about the 26^th. That is a sweet pairing that is all about shared effort. There are some complications, though, especially the first week of March when they sit with Pluto. Uh-oh. Power struggles abound!  And the usually delightful Pisces new moon falls on the 2^nd, with the Sun and Moon within spitting distance of Jupiter, so all the tensions are exaggerated. Not only are there Pluto power struggles but Mercury makes a quick zip past Saturn for the first few days, adding to tension and angst.   By the 6^th Mars and Venus move past Pluto and enter Aquarius, lightening up the energy.   Use the week-long Sun-Jupiter conjunction to try to have a good time and even be excessive in that Piscean kinda way. It is Mardi Gras, after all. Go hear some music and dance in the streets! By the 11^th the Pisces Sun catches up to Neptune for a few days of the dreamtime.  Go with flow and indulge your creative side. Just remember that things you thought were settled may slip through your fingers.  The 18^th brings a Virgo full moon and you can expect to get a lot accomplished.  Then Venus and Mars make an angle to Uranus so expect your best laid plans to change.  The Spring Equinox falls on the 20^th, when the Sun enters Aries, crossing the Earth axis along with Venus.  Meanwhile Mercury in your sign of Pisces crosses Neptune for a few days of inspiration and also sloppy communication.   By the 26^th Venus in Aquarius starts pulling away from Mars and moves onto Saturn for the rest of the month.  It’s time to focus on your needs and ask for what you want. Jupiter gets close to Neptune and you will have trouble saying no to anyone or anything!

ARIES (MAR 20-APRIL19)  March starts out with some tension (well, duh, just look at the world!) with Mercury in Aquarius making a quick sweep past Saturn and the otherwise beautiful Venus-Mars conjunction sitting with Pluto.  Power struggles to the left of you, power struggles to the right.  And the March 2^nd New moon in Pisces lines up with Jupiter, so the intensity gets a wee bit exaggerated.  Try to stay calm and avoid crankiness. By the 6^th Mars and Venus move past Pluto and enter Aquarius so things should ease up. The Pisces Sun catches up to Neptune for a few days on the 11^th. Get ready to be a space cadet.  The Virgo full moon occurs on the 18^th with Venus and Mars making a powerful angle to Uranus, bringing changes of plans and lots of excitement. Then it’s the Spring Equinox on the 20^th, and the Sun enters your sign of Aries.  Expect the unexpected because of the Uranus effect, and also because Mercury in Pisces catches up to Neptune, so information and communication will be loopy.  At the end of the month Venus in Aquarius gets close to Saturn, making you all serious business in your relationships.  Try to lighten up and enjoy Jupiter and Neptune—be silly and extravagant.

TAURUS (APR 20-MAY 20)  Well, the month requires a lot of flexibility from you, not always easy from your hooves-in-the-ground Taurean self. March begins with a pesky but annoying Mercury-Saturn pass. Everyone is on edge, and understandably so.  Mars and Venus, in a beautiful conjunction for most of this month, spend the first several days of March sitting on Pluto.  Danger, danger, Will Robinson. Expect some struggles, people doing end runs around you, etc.  And it is all exaggerated by the Pisces Sun spending a few days with Jupiter.  And oh, did I mention there’s a new moon on March 2?  So yes, the first week of March is a hot mess.  Try not to get rattled or angry.  The good news is that by the 6^th, Mars and Venus pull away from Pluto and enter Aquarius, where they can act happy and help you get work done with some collaborative ease.  On the 11^th the Pisces Sun catches up to Neptune for a few days of inspiration and uncertainty.  Go with the flow – things may not be what they seem. The Virgo full moon is on the 18^th,  pulling in the effect of Venus and Mars squaring Uranus.  Things will feel wild and perhaps out of control – plans will change and your work will move in some new directions.  Then comes the Spring Equinox on the 20^th  and the Sun enters Aries. Yay spring!  That week Mercury in Pisces meets up with Neptune and you may want to hole up and write, because this is all about inspiration and your Muses are close. By the 26^th Venus moves past Mars and gets close to Saturn.  Harrumph.   That’s a serious aspect, good for renegotiating commitments.  March ends with Jupiter and Neptune paired up in Pisces. Now that’s a good time!

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) This is a very odd month with many contradictory influences.  One thing I can say for sure is that the first week is hard hard hard.  Mercury in Aquarius zips past Saturn, making you and everyone else tense.  Venus and Mars are in a beautiful conjunction for4 most of the month but during the first week of the month they sit with Pluto.  Yeah, war, power struggles, rear guard actions.  The Pisces new moon is on the 2^nd, and the Pisces Sun cozies up to Jupiter for a few days.  Normally that would be a great transit – and maybe it still be—but chances are it will amplify the angst.   So – deep breaths.   Things shift by the 6^th when Venus and Mars pull away from Pluto, and you can have some fun with this transit. Get things done and feel good about what you’re doing.  The Pisces Sun reaches Neptune on the 11^th  for a few days where you don’t know which end is up. Things get even more interesting on the Virgo full moon on the 18^th which has a strong influence of Venus and Mars squaring Uranus.  Expect the unexpected, and some new and expansive things may come into your life.   Spring arrives on the 20^th, when the Sun enters Aries. Right after that Mercury in Pisces catches up to Neptune for a few days of the dreamtime.  Use it for creative inspiration.  By the 26^th Venus starts moving faster than Mars and it spends the end of the month with Saturn, all tough and serious while Jupiter and Neptune want to have a party.  It’s a good time for renegotiating needs and boundaries and also for some fun. You’re a Gemini—you can handle doing both!

CANCER  (JUNE 21- JULY 21)   The start of the month is very stressful, not surprisingly in light of current events.  Mercury in Aquarius joins up with Saturn for some edginess, while Mars and Venus – which are in a beautiful conjunction til the 26^th – sit together with Pluto the first few days. Ugh.  Watch out for power struggles  and behind the scenes stuff. The Pisces new moon is on the 2^nd, and all this energy is amplified by the Sun catching up to Jupiter.  So yeah, the first week is rough. But Mars and Venus pull away from Pluto and enter Aquarius on the 6^th, easing the tension.  On the 11^th the Sun catches up to Neptune for a few days where things you thought were settled may not turn out to be. Just go with the flow.  There is a powerful full moon in Virgo on the 18^th with strong aspects between Mars, Venus, and Uranus.  Uh-oh. Expect changes in your plans—not all bad, mind you. There could be exciting developments.  Happy spring – the Equinox is on the 20^th when the Sun enters Aries.   Then Mercury in Pisces spends a few days with Neptune—use this highly inspired and creative transit to work your artistic practice. By the 26^th Venus moves away from Mars and catches up to Saturn, for some serious relationship work. But be sure to let the Jupiter Neptune conjunction help you celebrate!

LEO (JUL 22-AUG 21)  Well, it’s another important month for you because of the planets in Aquarius, your opposite sign…March starts off with a lots of stress, I’m afraid.  First, Mercury in Aquarius zips by Saturn in Aquarius, giving you a big fat headache of worry.  The new moon in Pisces falls on the 2^nd and the Pisces Sun is quite close to Jupiter, serving to exaggerate the global angst.  Venus and Mars, which are in a beautiful conjunction for most of the month, spend the first week of March sitting with Pluto in Capricorn.  That’s all about power, and power struggles, and backroom deals.  So it’s a rough week.  But it shifts a bit by the 6^th when Mars and Venus move into Aquarius, bringing a sense of shared effort and partnership.  By the 11^th  things get a bit wonky when the Pisces Sun reaches Neptune and things just aren’t what they appear to be.  Stay calm.  The 18^th brings a full moon in Virgo with a strong influence of Venus and Mars in an angle to Uranus.  Bring on the surprises, the reversals, the new and different.  Then happy spring on the 20^th – it’s the Spring Equinox when the Sun enters Aries.  Immediately after that Mercury in Pisces meets up with Neptune.  Expect information to be slippery and truth hard to come by. The only thing to do is to use this transit for creative inspiration and flights of fancy.  By the 26^th Venus pulls away from Mars and reaches Saturn in Aquarius.  It’s time to get real and make some demands in relationships. Jupiter in Pisces also  reaches Neptune so be sure to celebrate whatever commitments Venus and Saturn inspire you to make.

 VIRGO (AUG 22- SEPT 21)   Well, March is a rather impactful month for you, what with all the Pisces action. Just forget about the first week of the month – it’s a wash. It begins with a quick swipe of Mercury past Saturn, making everyone tense and cranky.  Makes sense, in light of world events….but still. The Pisces new moon falls on the 2^nd, and the Pisces Sun is getting very close to Jupiter.  I would normally tell you to go buy a lottery ticket with this aspect but not this time.  I’m afraid the Sun -Jupiter effect just exaggerates the tension this week, especially since Venus and Mars sit with Pluto at the end of Capricorn.  Power struggles, anyone?  Warmongering?  Rear guard actions?  Get ready for some personal power struggles too.  But it should pass by the 6^th, Venus and Mars—in a  beautiful conjunction til the 26^th —  leave Pluto and enter Aquarius.   By the 11^th the Pisces Sun catches up to Neptune for a few days of dreaminess, romanticism, and creativity.   The 18^th brings full moon in Virgo, and this powerful full moon has a strong Venus, Mars, Uranus influence.  This is all about change and the unexpected, and you might be a tad crazed.  Expect some plans to change, and to get a breath of fresh air.  Innovate, ring in the new.  Then it’s the Spring Equinox on the 20^th when the Sun enters Aries, followed by Mercury in Pisces lining up with Neptune for a good few days.  This is a great combination for creative and healing work but at the same time communication may be confusing.   Meanwhile by the 26^th Venus pulls past Mars and meets up with Saturn, facilitating relational process and commitments.   Be sure to celebrate those commitments and take advantage of the Jupiter Neptune conjunction at the end of March!

LIBRA (SEPT 22-OCT21)  What can I say—March is kinda rough, but you probably didn’t need an astrologer to tell you that.  It begins with a quick pass of Mercury past Saturn, just long enough to make everyone tense.  Venus and Mars, although in a beautiful conjunction til the 26^th, spend the first week sitting with Pluto.  War, power struggles, a general feeling of threat.  Yup.  And the Pisces new moon is on the 2^nd, and the Pisces Sun is very close to Jupiter. This is normally a sweet transit but this week I’ m afraid everything is just amplified and extra stressful.  Thinjgs do shift by the 6^th, when Mars and Venus move past Pluto and into Aquarius, lightening up the energy a bit.  By the 11^th Pisces Sun catches up to Neptune for a few days of dreaminess.  Be inspired!  Then here comes the Virgo full moon on the 18^th—now this is something you can wrap your head around. You’ll get a lot done, and expect some new directions or opportunities in your work. Stay open.   Then it’s the Spring Equinox on the 20^th, and the Sun enters your opposite sign of  Aries.  Mercury in Pisces catches up to Neptune for a few days of creative inspiration but also expect communication to be loopy as hell.   By the 26^th Venus pulls away from Mars and  lines up with Saturn.  It’s time for deep emotional work and recommitment.  Celebrate with the help of Jupiter and Neptune at the end of the month.  Be excessive!

SCORPIO (OCT 22-NOV 21)  March is kinda challenging, especially at the start.  It begins with a stressful little transit of Mercury to Saturn, making everyone tense.  And then there is a big transit of Venus and Mars to Pluto during the first week, surfacing lots of global paranoia and stress and bringing power struggles to the fore.  The Pisces new moon falls on the 2^nd, usually a gorgeous moon but Jupiter will amplify all the angst, sad to say. Things shift by the 6^th, when Venus and Mars move away from Pluto and enter Aquarius. In fact, Venus and Mars spend most of the month moving in tandem, which is beautiful for shared effort and collaboration. By the 11^th the Pisces Sun catches up to Neptune for a few days of inspiration. Use it!  Then there is a powerful Virgo full moon on the 18^th, concentrating a lot of Venus, Mars, Uranus energy, bringing ew and exciting changes.  Expect the unexpected, and stay open.  Happy Spring! It’s the Spring Equinox on the 20^th, followed by Mercury in Pisces lining up with Neptune. It’s the dreamtime, baby, and you’re a channel for all kinds of energies and inspirations.  By the 26^th Venus pulls away from Mars and cozies up the Saturn. Awk-ward.  Not really—it’s just more serious, a good time for renegotiating needs and commitments. Then have fun with the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction at the end of March.  Go dancing!

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22- DEC 21)  well, March ain’t easy, filed with contradictory planetary configurations.   Just get through the first week and you’ll be fine.   March begins with a pesky transit of Mercury to Saturn, and everyone is tense and worried about the world, and for good reason.  The usually delightful Pisces new moon falls on the 2^nd, and this one is …well.. complicated, as it funnels some intense Venus, Mars, and Pluto energy of war and power struggles.   The Pisces Sun is close to Jupiter but even this just serves to exaggerate the tension.  So this first week is a bust.  Things shift by the 6^th when Mars and Venus –in a beautiful conjunction til the 25^th—pull away from Pluto and enter Aquarius. That’s more fun and facilitates easier collaboration.  The 11^th brings the Pisces Sun crossing paths with Neptune for a few days of inspiration and also murkiness. You will have to work at staying clear.  Then it’s the powerful Virgo full moon on the  18^th with a strong influence fo Venus, Mars, and Uranus.  Expect change and the unexpected.  There may be some new directions coming in your work.  Happy Spring on the  20^th – it’s the Equinox when the Sun enters Aries.  Then Mercury in Pisces catches up to Neptune for a few days of dreamy inspiration.   By the 26^th Venus pulls away from Lars and meet up with Saturn, inspiring some  deep relationship work.  Celebrate your new commitments with Jupiter and Neptune at the very end of the month.

CAPRICORN (Dec 21-Jan19)  March is pretty chunky, I’m afraid. The start of the month is very stressful, not surprisingly in light of current events.  Mercury in Aquarius joins up with Saturn for some edginess, while Mars and Venus – which are in a beautiful conjunction til the 26^th – sit together with Pluto  in Capricorn the first week.  The issue for the world, and for you, is power, so be on the lookout for power struggles  and do not go down rabbit holes of paranoia.  The Pisces new moon is on the 2^nd, and all this energy is amplified by the Sun catching up to Jupiter.  So yeah, do what you can to stay centered. But Mars and Venus pull away from Pluto and enter Aquarius on the 6^th, which should shift the energy quite a bit and facilitate some satisfying collaboration.  On the 11^th the Sun catches up to Neptune for a few days where things you thought were settled may not turn out to be. Just go with the flow.  There is a powerful full moon in Virgo on the 18^th with strong aspects between Mars, Venus, and Uranus.  Expect changes in your plans—not all bad, mind you. There could be exciting developments, so stay open to innovation and new ideas.  Happy spring – the Equinox is on the 20^th when the Sun enters Aries.   Then Mercury in Pisces spends a few days with Neptune—use this highly inspired and creative transit to work your artistic practice. By the 26^th Venus moves away from Mars and catches up to Saturn, and it’s time to renegotiate some commitments, either in relationships or in your work.  Then raise a glass to toast your new agreements when Jupiter lines up with Neptune at the end of the month!

AQUARIUS (JAN 20-FEB 19)  Well, it’s another important month for you because of the planets in Aquarius…March starts off with a lots of stress, no surprise there in light of what’s going on in the world.  Mercury in Aquarius zips by Saturn in Aquarius at the start, giving you a big fat headache of worry.  The new moon in Pisces falls on the 2^nd and the Pisces Sun is quite close to Jupiter, serving to exaggerate everyone’s tension.  Venus and Mars, which are in a beautiful conjunction for most of the month, spend the first week of March sitting with Pluto in Capricorn.  That’s all about power and power struggles, and there may be shenanigans and threats to your position happening around you.  But the energies shift  a bit by the 6^th when Mars and Venus move into your sign of Aquarius, bringing more vision and a sense of shared effort.  By the 11^th  things get weird and uncertain when the Pisces Sun reaches Neptune and things just aren’t what they appear to be.  Stay calm.  The 18^th brings a full moon in Virgo with a strong influence of Venus and Mars in an angle to Uranus.  Bring on the unexpected, the spirit of change, the new and different.  Then happy spring on the 20^th – it’s the Spring Equinox when the Sun enters Aries.  Right after that Mercury in Pisces meets up with Neptune.  Expect information to be slippery and communication to be …well, not exactly honest. But use this transit for creative inspiration and healing.  By the 26^th Venus pulls away from Mars and lines up with Saturn in Aquarius.  It’s a great time to re-establish and renew partnerships and commitments. Jupiter in Pisces lines up with  Neptune so be sure to celebrate those commitments be excessive and outrageous!
