March is one intense month astrologically, with Venus returning home to Taurus, the Sun combining with Neptune, Mercury Retrograding into Aquarius, and Mars in a potentially destructive alliance with Pluto. And to top it all off, Saturn moves to Aquarius, and we have the Vernal Equinox and the start of the celestial year.
Could someone from the past re-enter your life? As Mercury reverses into your social sector, it is possible. This month combines sensual desires with an urge to jettison old habits and take up new ones. And as the Sun enters your sign on the 19th followed by a New Moon on the 24th, you’ll be in your element and ready for a fresh start. With sobering Saturn and Mars in your social sector from week three, it can be time to make a positive difference in your community.
Taurus 21 April – 21 May
Ready for an image change? As sweet Venus enters your sign early on, doing so can affirm your individuality and give you a confidence boost. And romantic feelings can surge with the March 9th Supermoon, whether solo or spoken for. Even so, the Sun’s move into a secluded sector for four weeks can be an opportunity to reflect on your priorities and find closure on lingering issues. From March 21st, an ambitious streak can see you embracing more responsibility.
Gemini 22 May – 21 June
You may find yourself drawn back to places and experiences to find closure on key issues. But as Mercury turns direct from March 9th, you might also note a renewed interest in studies that could help you thrive in the future. The Virgo Supermoon in week two can coincide with a family drama, so avoid making hasty decisions for the best outcome. Saturn’s visit for some months into your sector of far horizons, may be a call to give a lively new opportunity some serious thought.
Cancer 22 June – 23 July

Leo 24 July – 23 August
As sweet Venus enters your sector of ambition from the 4th, a little charm can work wonders if you need to impress the right people. Go easy around March 9th though, as a powerful influence across your financial axis could find you splurging. If you invest rather than spend Leo, there’ll be no reason for regret. Travel adventures call out to you from the 19th, making this a good time for a vacation. Relationships take a more serious turn though, and can bring much food for thought.

Take extra care around the 9th Capricorn, as there is potential for a spat as a Supermoon in your communication zone can stir up feelings. And while there are opportunities for a new beginning on the home front, money matters might be a priority too. As Saturn your ruler moves in for a temporary stay, you’ll be keen to get finances organised.
Aquarius 21 January – 19 February
You may want to take extra care with finances during the first week, as a dynamic lunation in your sector of shared assets brings money issues to the fore.

This can be an opportunity to clear the air and move forward. With Mercury turning direct on the same day, watch out for mixed messages though. With prudent Saturn entering your spiritual sector from week three for a few months, reflection can bring life-changing insights.
