As you navigate the recent tides of change in your life, take some time to rest and recuperate this month. February was all about recalibrating your approach to both physical and mental health; while March is less intense overall, there’s still one more health-related eclipse to handle. On the 3rd, as the Virgo Lunar eclipse delivers a pivotal moment regarding physical health and workload, try to manage your fears and worries. I feel like a broken record, but this has been a major theme for you for a while — and all of the subconscious sludge is now rearing its ugly head for real. The only solution is to face it head-on. Plus, you’ll have plenty of cosmic support! Think of this month’s astrology as the stars showing you how to do this life area better. So while I do recommend keeping your schedule light (especially towards the beginning of March), I also urge you to take a swim through your subconscious. See what’s rooting around in there. Clean out what sucks and keep the rest. Mercury is still retrograding through this area of your chart, meaning it’s an excellent time to review things. (Hopefully you’ll have gained some clarity by the time the messenger planet stations direct on the 20th!) Some key dates to pay attention to include the 7th, which could reveal hidden truths, and the 13th, a day full of fateful messages, thoughts, and ideas. Use the energy of the 9th to cultivate mental peace; the 15th, however, may indicate a challenging mental state or agitating conversations. The Pisces New Moon of March 19th is a potent lunation best used to (excuse my French) get your mental shit together. It’s possible that whatever plagues you is relationship- or family-oriented in nature (this will be especially evident during the days leading up to this New Moon), but it’ll be good for you in the long run. Focus on healing, nurture, and abundance and things should fall into place. Additionally, if you’ve been experiencing a really BIG home-and-family era (the kind where growth is inevitable but also kinda hard), things should feel more manageable by midmonth and you’ll begin to see the benefits of your hard work moving forward.

It’s also a very lovey-dovey few weeks! Once Venus moves into your sign on the 6th, she’ll not only be busy infusing you with extra charm, charisma, and creativity — she’ll also be making important connections with other planets to ensure you feel these effects even more intensely. It’s a perfect time to revamp your look and indulge in some much-needed self-care; it’s also a great month for making connections in the real world. However, expect some confusion and/or various buzzkills around the 7th through the 10th. As Venus meets with vague Neptune, then stern Saturn, then power-hungry Pluto, that week could be a vibe. (You should get some good material for your creative projects out of it, though.) Watch out for flagging vitality (or even an identity crisis) on the 22th and 25th. My last bit of advice is to let yourself daydream throughout the month — better yet, keep a dream journal and jot down those hazy visions you keep waking up to. Your subconscious will be super active, and it’s not all bad! There are nuggets of imagination and spirituality hiding in there, so dig ‘em up!

March is a total whirlwind of friendship and community events, and you’ll be so ready to lock yourself alone in you room by the end of it! But first, your love life. The events surrounding March 3rd’s Virgo Lunar eclipse could be pivotal — pivotal enough to alter your attitude towards love, pleasure, and creative output. That’s no surprise to you, however; those themes have been unfolding for a long time, and you’ve been busy recalibrating your approach. Old patterns will be released during this eclipse, ones you’ve had a tough time letting go of up to this point, especially if you’ve been dating within your friend group. Try to focus on purging your overly-critical tendencies. This is not about lowering your standards — it’s about revising them to match your current desires. Same goes for any creative projects. (And kids, if you have them.) If you’re feeling grim about your prospects, don’t despair. As of the 6th, Venus, planet of love and connection, will be in Aries and your 12th house, which can activate any lingering subconscious fears or resentments. Say it with me: it’s just a phase. The first week or so of March is particularly grimy, with a vague buzzkill-y feel that could cue romantic depression. As Venus conducts meetings with foggy Neptune, then stern Saturn, then dark-and-stormy Pluto, try to ride the various waves of confusion, limitations, and power dynamics. Use this energy to transform yourself from the inside out. You could also run into your neighborhood crush on the 18th, but you may want to keep it a secret! In fact, the astrology of March is giving very secret love affair. Do with that what you will.

But back to the social stuff. On the 2nd, Mars enters Pisces and your community-centered 11th house, indicating potential friendship drama that could build until it bursts around the 15th. If you’ve been overthinking your role within your community or social circles, the best day to seek clarity is the 7th; as Mercury becomes flooded with the light of the Sun, the messenger planet could deliver important insights. Pay attention to the conversations you have at that time, as well as any news or thoughts that ping your intuition. The 9th is the best day to have an important meeting (or send that email), while the 13th has the potential to deliver path-altering news. March 19th’s Pisces New Moon is your annual chance to heal your non-romantic relationships or even find a new community to belong to. Again, don’t let your subconscious fears get in the way of your true desires. Mercury stations direct the very next day, so things should begin to feel a little more…normal. The 22nd is an interesting day, full of conflicting energies: you may feel full of vim and vigor or totally spent and exhausted (or both). The last few days of March will offer some more internal clarity. How are your own mental games impeding your progress? Think on that. Oh, one last thing: if you’ve been putting a lot of effort into writing, tech, sibling relationships, learning new skills, or your local scene, you‘ll start actually seeing the fruits of your labor after the middle of the month. Enjoy!

The intense focus on career continues this month — and so does that pesky work vs. family life thing, especially during March 3rd’s Virgo Lunar eclipse. This is a major moment within all things home and family, but it might not feel that major, simply because the leadup has been such an obvious, long-term undertaking. A lot of releasing has been accomplished over the last year or so. That may have involved buying, selling, or renovating your home; family dynamics have also been a prevalent theme. This eclipse represents yet another purge, one that should be approached with intention. Something may be in its final stages; whatever it is, the cosmos is encouraging you to recalibrate your standards so they match your current goals and desires. Of course, your career trajectory is a considerable factor, and it’s definitely on the move this month. Mars, planet of energy and action, is poised to stir things up, so don’t be surprised if your workplace is a whirlwind of activity. A word of caution: Mars can also create conflict, so try not to seek it, because it will find you! Expect a surprise on the 4th (perhaps even a romantic surprise). If you’re seeking clarity over something that’s been gnawing at you, the 7th and 13th are good days to stay receptive to messages and intuitive insights, while the 9th is perfect for initiating important conversations or blasting through any work involving tech or writing. Oh, and make sure you don’t say the wrong thing (or CC the wrong person) on the 15th. As Mars challenges Mercury, verbal arguments and/or tech issues could pop up. On the plus side, it’s a great time to do (or say) something brave. Mercury has been retrograding through your career sector for several weeks now to help review your path, but the messenger planet will station direct on the 20th — solid ground is in sight. The Pisces New Moon of the 19th delivers a fresh start on a platter, so meditate on what you want to accomplish over the next year. Clarity of vision is key to making it all happen. Additionally, if you’ve been pouring a lot of energy into growing your assets, you should begin to see forward movement by mid-March! Some snags may arise around the 18th, but it’s nothing you can’t handle.

The rest of March is really all about friendship. Once Venus enters Aries and your community-centered 11th house on the 6th, a flurry of activity will ensue. The vibes are a bit hit-or-miss, however, especially from the 7th through the 10th. Those several days are rife with confusion, miscommunication, power-struggles, and blockages. That’ll all clear up soon! Try to separate fact from fiction as best you can. If a creative collaboration comes your way, entertain the idea! It could be fruitful and fun. One last thing: if you’ve been working on getting your finances in order, you’ll start to see the fruits of your labor after the 11th!

You’re smack-dab in the midst of a life-changing period of time. There’s two ways to look at it: either you’re being transformed by growth, or growing by deliberate transformation. This cosmic energy is seeping into every aspect of your life, but we’re talking about March now, and March wants you to keep an eye on your career moves — while continuing to pursue your education or spiritual expansion, whether that’s in a more formal environment or via YouTube. As the Virgo Lunar eclipse of March 3rd laser-focuses on themes of writing, communication, travel, local events, and sibling relationships, it’s your job to divvy up its progressive energy towards the kind of learning that furthers your ambitions…and the kind that makes you feel happy, curious, and engaged. This eclipse is akin to an extra-powerful Full Moon; be aware that an ending of some kind could lie ahead. It may be incredibly emotional and, as the only Moon-ruled sign of the zodiac, you’re extra affected by Full Moons (let alone an eclipse!), so try to give yourself space to process. Whatever happens is a goalpost pointing to the next twist in the road. Once you get over the eclipse hump, the rest of March’s themes will begin to unfold; while they’re undoubtedly similar to last month’s (the cosmos feels very…heavy-handed lately), they have their own flavor and serve their own purpose. Once Mars enters Pisces and your expansive 9th house on the 2nd, you’ll find yourself pouring more energy towards those aforementioned topics, but watch out for Martial agitation — the planet of action is also the planet of fights and challenges. If clarity’s what you seek, stay receptive to messages and intuitive insights on the 7th. As Mercury greets the Sun, revelations can occur. Same goes for the 13th, another day that promises fateful news or information. Try to schedule any important tasks involving communication or tech on the 9th; the celestial weather will be supportive and your efforts will have a better success rate. The 15th, however, can bring harsh words and tech issues, but it’s also the perfect day to courageously communicate. The Pisces New Moon of the 19th is a potent one. Sit with your thoughts and emotions. The goal is intentional creation, and you need clarity to carve your new path. This lunation will directly affect higher education, travel, spiritual pursuits, even publishing — anything wide and far-reaching. If you’re still confused about the role of these themes in your life, you’ll find some relief once Mercury stations direct on the 20th!

Now, back to career. Expect better luck, a more harmonious work environment, and creative collabs once Venus enters Aries and your ambitious 10th house on the 6th. (Perhaps even a little office romance?) Don’t get too carried away; the ensuing days are full of confusion, blockages, and annoying power dynamics. It’s a transformational little week, so put it to good use! The 18th is a powerful day to make some moves, though you may simultaneously experience some BIG relationship energy. Last but not least, once Jupiter resumes forward motion on the 11th, all the change you’ve been implementing, the progress you’ve been striving for, will begin to fall into place. Focus on growth. You’re doing great.

For you, the astrological climate of March is psychologically and spiritually complex. As the planets do their thing, you’ll feel compelled to create a more sustainable relationship between mundane matters and the urge to share, merge, and transform, especially around the time of the Virgo Lunar eclipse of March 3rd. This eclipse, which has the energy of an ultra-powerful Full Moon, is all about editing your relationship to money, security, and self-worth. Lunar eclipses reveal and release — and while more external manifestations are certainly possible (i.e. a new job or income shift), it’s important to consider this moment as an emotional financial audit and an opportunity to clarify and refine. The Virgo eclipse asks: where are the inefficiencies surrounding my finances? How can I implement better systems? Strategic adjustment is necessary, so listen to the cosmos and make it happen! Not to sound like a broken record, but there’s also a huge emphasis on shared resources this month. Whether it’s moving in with a partner or dealing with things like taxes, inheritances, and passive income, you’ll be positively driven towards those themes due to the presence of Mars in your 8th house of “other people’s money.” It’s likely you’ll experience heightened intuition and empathy surrounding shared resources, but be wary of any related drama or surprise expenditures. At the same time, you’ll feel a powerful desire to lose yourself in intimacy — to completely merge with another human being. This is a recipe for extremely deep and fantastical sexual experiences! Emotions may run high; you could also find yourself struggling to make a decision. If you seek clarity, stay open on the 7th, 9th, and 13th, all days that feature the help of messenger planet Mercury. Pay special attention to the information and conversations that pop up, especially ones that tickle your intuition — and, not for nothing, once Mercury stations direct on the 20th, things should feel much clearer in general! Meanwhile, the Pisces New Moon of the 19th will provide the fresh start you need to move forward.

As you navigate these currents, the other life areas that will positively glow with energy this month all involve personal expansion. Higher education, spiritual and religious journeys, long-distance travel — however you decide to grow, the universe is on your side! Expect good luck and a renewed interest in these topics once Venus glides into Aries and your explorative 9th house on the 6th. (You could also meet a potential romantic partner abroad or in class!) The vibe will be a little wishy-washy, however, at least for the first two weeks of the month, and you may encounter blockages, power struggles, even deception — try to turn any challenges you face during this time as opportunities for growth. By the end of March, you’ll get what I’m trying to say. One last thing: as Jupiter also ends its retrograde period on the 11th, you’ll begin to see the fruits of your labor, especially when we’re talking about self-care and mental health. Cleaning out the psychic attic is no joke, but you’re doing great.

March definitely storms in like a lion, especially for the Virgos! As the Virgo Lunar eclipse flies into town on the 3rd, you’ll find yourself facing a personal turning point. An identity shift has been in the works for the past year or so; while you’ve been editing and refining your life path, outgrowing past versions of yourself, even totally revamping your look, this eclipse will amplify your efforts to the next level. Lunar eclipses symbolize culmination and release; you may have to come to terms with the complex emotions that often accompany such a big change! It’s important to recontextualize your approach to, well, yourself — as a Virgo, you’re notoriously self-critical and perfectionistic, but, at a certain point, those tendencies become inefficient. (Gasp! The horror.) Other themes that could arise include independence vs. partnership, heightened self-awareness, and a renewed commitment to self-care. This defining moment forms a pretty major contrast to the rest of March’s astrology, which is extremely focused on your closest relationships. It makes sense: in a lot of ways, relationships can be journeys of the self. Regardless, once Mars enters Pisces and your partner-centric 7th house, expect the spice level to ramp way up…but stay wary of potential agitation, arguments, or breakups. (Mars loves to start drama.) Messenger planet Mercury has been moving backwards through this life area, prompting some reevaluation. While Mercury stations direct on the 20th (yay!), it makes several influential connections before that occurs. If you’re looking for more clarity or help making a decision, messages you receive around the 7th, 9th, and 13th could prove helpful. Watch your words around the 15th; as Mercury meets Mars, verbal sparring is likely. Mars also brings courage, meaning this is also a good day to have that scary convo! Meanwhile, March 19th’s Pisces New Moon brings the perfect opportunity to course-correct your relationships. Plant those fresh seeds!

The rest of the month swings the focus to heavier matters. As Venus enters Aries and your transformative 8th house, you’ll feel an intense urge to, like, merge souls. Venus makes some iffy connections early in the month, however; as she greets Neptune, then Saturn, then Pluto, the 7th through the 10th could be a confusing, restrictive several days. Deception, roadblocks, and power issues may crop up, but these are also deeply transformative days. Whatever happens, use it to fine-tune your values surrounding intimacy, obsession, and shared resources. In fact, financial themes, especially ones involving taxes, inheritances, grants, monetary gifts, and (of course) shared resources will also jump to the forefront this month. If you’re looking to grow your assets, the 18th is a great day to do just that. (It’s also an extremely perfect day for a decadent date.) To cap it off, let’s backtrack to the 11th, which is when Jupiter resumes forward motion from its seat in your communal 11th house. Any friendship or community issues you’ve been experiencing should ease up and resume forward motion by then!

March is yet another busy month, and you’ll be feeling the crunch, especially once Mars enters Pisces and your workaholic 6th house on the 6th! To really grasp this month’s vibe, however, we have to backtrack a few days. During the Virgo Lunar eclipse of March 3rd, you’ll feel a sense of culmination surrounding mental health, isolation, spirituality, and whatever the heck is going on in your subconscious. This eclipse is a practical reset — another powerful opportunity to clear, refine, and purify your mental state. It’ll likely be an emotional moment; the vibe will be that of spiritual decluttering, which may cause buried grief and resentment to rise to the surface.  Remember, this eclipse is about letting go, so keep the focus on managing anxiety, prioritizing rest, and eradicating any long-held patterns of self-sabotage. You’re closing a very private chapter, one full of invisible burdens, so stop trying to fix what isn’t yours — it’s not winning you any martyr points, trust me. It’s just draining your life force. Keep this in mind throughout the month because, as I said, it’s a busy one! A lot of your energy will be directed towards work, but health matters will also become a focus. It’s possible you’ll experience workplace drama or minor illnesses, but pets may be a focus, too! If there’s something work- or health-related that’s been nagging at you, the astro weather of the 7th, 9th, and 13th is ideal for intuitive messages and insights. Verbal (or text) fights are in the air on the 15th; as Mercury butts heads with Mars, tempers will flare. This is also a good day to do something you’ve been putting off — something that requires extra energy or bravery. March 19th’s Pisces New Moon is a perfect opportunity to imagine your ideal future, especially when we’re talking about work and/or health. As a bonus, Mercury ends its retrograde on the 20th, ensuring things will feel slightly more…normal. 

While work is certainly keeping you up at night, it’s possible your love life is, too! Once Venus enters Aries and your relationship-oriented 7th house on the 6th, the lovey-dovey vibes will commence. If you’re single, the next few weeks are a great time to mingle — just watch out for any initial confusion, blockages, or power struggles, especially within your closest partnerships. The 18th is a delightfully decadent day; use it accordingly. You could also experience something around that time that sparks personal growth. You’re up for a major, major relationship-defining era of your life and all the little things you experience along the way will eventually gel into a more solid, definable situation — whether that means your situationship moves forward or you ban casual sex from your life forever, your choices during this time will eventually form the landscape upon which you build all future relationships. Make good, true-to-you choices. Finally, you’ll begin to see some career movement after the 11th. The seeds you’ve planted, the growth you’ve experienced, will begin to bloom. Enjoy!

March is a month during which your attention and energy will be mostly divided between a few major life areas: work, health, and your love life. The very beginning of the month, however, does feature a major moment within your friendships and communities. As the Virgo Lunar eclipse of March 3rd swoops in to help you continue the ongoing karmic cleanout you’ve been dealing with, ask yourself these questions: am I doing all of the emotional labor in my friendships? Have I outgrown my social circle? Am I constantly trying to manage everyone else’s chaos?! If the answers to those are a big fat yes, then it’s time to make some edits. That could mean ending a friendship, relinquishing a community leadership role, or adjusting your efforts to match what you’re receiving from others. And if you don’t feel that way, it could mean you’ve simply outgrown some of those friendships. Whichever way this energy manifests in your life, this eclipse is set to reveal something that will align your emotions with what you know you have to do. Your mood may be heavy; Lunar eclipses are akin to ultra-powerful Full Moons, meaning they often bring end-of-an-era vibes. It’s also possible something related to your love life is a catalyst for any friendship drama. If not, themes of dating, sex, and creativity are definitely a distraction! (If you have kids, your parental responsibilities could also be a contributing factor!) Once Mars enters Pisces and your decadence sector on the 2nd, expect heat and spice and everything nice — but be wary of arguments or splits. (The planet of action is also the planet of fights and aggression.) If you’d like more situationship clarity, stay receptive to any news, info, or conversations that tickle your intuition on the 7th, 9th and 13th. Messenger planet Mercury is super active during those days; you could learn something important. Verbal sparring or harsh news are both possible around that time, too. The Pisces New Moon of March 19th is a perfect opportunity to realign your romantic, creative, and parental goals; meanwhile, Mercury ends its retrograde period on the 20th, so things should pick up speed shorty after regardless! 

Alongside all the friendship and love life activity, you’ll have to contend with something regarding your physical health and/or workplace drama. On the 6th, Venus glides into Aries and your busy 6th house, indicating a values reset surrounding health, work, daily routines, even pets! Venus loves to sprinkle a little magic wherever she goes, so these life areas should feel extra lucky and blessed for a few weeks — with some caveats. As Venus makes some fated connections around the 7th through the 10th, she’ll first greet Neptune, then Saturn, then Pluto — indicating a week full of confusion, blockages, and power struggles. (Workplace romances may also be on the rise…) Things will feel a little lighter by the 18th, however. Last but not least: if you’ve been on a spiritual, educational, or travel journey this past year, you should begin to see the fruits of your labor once Jupiter stations direct on the 11th — meaning all the effort you’ve been applying will begin to solidify!

March opens with a powerful Virgo lunar eclipse on the 3rd that will directly affect your career goals and development. Over the past year or so, you may have been questioning, restructuring, or otherwise dealing with something career-related. Perhaps you’ve been considering swerving off your current path — or even tossing it all away to run a beach bar in Bali. (Sagittarius energy, amiright?) Whatever’s going on, it definitely involves purging old ambitions and desires. This eclipse, which is akin to a super-powerful Full Moon, will reveal so you can release. It’s a pivotal moment that will help you figure it all out, but it’ll likely also be emotional…with a dash of over-analysis. As a Sagittarius, you tend to go against stereotype when it comes to your career — but you’re actually a die-hard perfectionist! As the eclipse shines its light on your emotional state, try to process and then release any feelings of inadequacy or overly high expectations. (The classic adage “don’t sacrifice the good for the perfect” comes to mind.) Perhaps your home life has something do with it — so much of the astrology this month centers on your ancestral 4th house, indicating that home and family are taking up a lot of mental and emotional real estate! That’ll ramp up even more once Mars enters Pisces on the 2nd, but try to keep an eye on any related drama or issues. If you’ve been buying, selling, renovating, or redecorating, you’ll be feeling this energy. One major thing to look out for, however, are family arguments and rifts, which are more likely under the influence of instigator Mars (especially around the 15th). If you need to make a decision and seek more clarity, messenger planet Mercury is there to help, especially on the 7th and 9th, two days chock full of intuitive insights. Meanwhile, March 19th’s Pisces New Moon is a lovely time to plant intentional new seeds for this life area: where would you like to steer your home and family life moving forward? More good news: Mercury ends its retrograde period through this same life area the very next day, meaning that annoying slow and vague feeling should clear up shortly after!

You’ll also be flooded with awhole lot of romance and creativity this month! Venus, planet of love and beauty, moves into Aries and your decadent 5th house on the 6th, meaning you’ll experience a lovely few weeks within those topics. The vibe is a little iffy in the beginning, however; as Venus encounters Neptune, then Saturn, then Pluto from the 7th through the 10th, expect some confusion, roadblocks, and power dynamics to crop up. Any heavy vibes should clear by midmonth — the 18th is a particularly lucky day for love, romance, and creativity. If you have kids, this energy will affect those relationships, too. And if you’ve been feeling extra imaginative and creative lately, I encourage you to get to it! Last but certainly not least, as Jupiter also ends its retrograde on the 11th, the topic of shared resources will feel a lot lighter. Things will begin to move forward, and your efforts will finally feel like they’re going somewhere.

If you feel extra drawn towards travel, advancing your education, or fostering a closer connection to the spiritual world, there’s a good reason: as the Virgo Lunar eclipse lands on March 3rd, a powerful moment of culmination around those topics will arrive with it. Your beliefs and worldview have been in a long-term process of refinement; this eclipse is slated to shed its light on something that needs to be purged before you can move forward with the plan. (You’re a Capricorn — I’m pretty sure you have a plan!) Teaching and mentoring may also be themes; same goes for publishing, legal matters, or being of service to others in some way. Release those outdated religious frameworks and replace them with something truly expansive: the goal is embodied wisdom, not blind faith. This focus on learning and expansion is one that lasts throughout the month; while it’s actually been a vibe for a while at this point, the action definitely picks up once Mars enters Pisces on the 2nd. The planet of action and energy has the ability to infuse you with a burning desire to pick up new skills (especially ones that will firther your career), especially ones involving communication, writing, or tech. Other life areas that may be woven into the themes of March are sibling relationships, local events, and everyday transit (especially short trips). If you’re experiencing any confusion or decision paralysis regarding any of the above, try to engage your intuition on the 7th, 9th, and 13th; the astro weather of those days is perfect for receiving helpful intuitive messages and insights to clarify your path. Stay alert for any verbal/text fights or tech issues on the 15th, however. As Mars tangles with Mercury, others will be testy and ready to lash out! March 19th’s Pisces New Moon is your annual chance to set new goals and course-correct, and if you have any writing or other communication-based projects brewing, that’s the best day to work on them! As Mercury finally stations direct the next day, the process of reevaluating those life areas will wrap up and you’ll feel closer to knowing how to proceed.

You’ll feel the family love this month, too, especially once Venus enters Aries and your home and family sector on the 6th. Venus loves to create beauty, harmony, and balance. While she’ll be busy sprinkling some of that on your home life throughout March, she first has to deal with vagueness, confusion, roadblocks, and uneven power dynamics from the 7th through the 10th. This energy has the potential to affect your family life, as well as anything involving real estate, home renovations, moving, and/or selling, but things should clear up by the 18th, which is one heck of a lucky and decadent day. This is also a truly lovely moment to accept help from a partner, romantic or otherwise. (It’s a cute date day, for sure!) Speaking of dates, you’ve been on a lengthy relationship journey, one that’s been very healing and full of personal growth. If you’ve been experiencing any snags or stagnation, that should clear up after the 11th. Jupiter’s on your side!

You’re fresh off an intense February and, while the dust may be settling a bit, it seems as if the cosmos would really like it if you focused more on your finances this month. March 3rd’s Virgo Lunar eclipse lands in your intense 8th house, indicating themes of shared resources and “other people’s money” (yes, this is a legit astrological term!), an umbrella which includes taxes, inheritances, grants, and monetary gifts. A Lunar eclipse is akin to a turbo-charged Full Moon, meaning this will be a moment of revelation that leads to release. It’s a culmination, the completion of a cycle — emotions may be running high, but remember: it’s all in the service of welcoming something better into your life. You may also be mired in themes of trust and intimacy, healing from trauma, even deep personal transformation, and it’s okay to take a break and hide from the world during this eclipse! Consider releasing your inner critic surrounding these matters, as well as extreme perfectionism and feeling like you need to be of service at all times. Unfolding alongside this energy is a reinforced emphasis on self-worth, income/financial security, and your relationship with possessions and material things. As Mars enters Pisces and your money-centric 2nd house on the 2nd, you could find yourself pouring even more energy into these matters, but be prepared for the possibility of increased expenditures or other financial dramatics. A related surprise could fall into your lap on the 4th. If you’d like some clarity surrounding your finances, the best days to find it are the 7th, 9th, and 13th, all days that could deliver messages or insights to help you move forward. Watch out for the 15th, however, which is when Mars bombards Mercury — verbal/text fights or tech issues may arise. March 19th’s Pisces New Moon is your annual chance to recalibrate your financial situation, so use it wisely! Be clear with yourself: write down your goals and intentions until you have an actionable plan. Mercury is set to station direct the very next day, meaning the financial audit will wrap up shortly after! 

Alongside all the money stuff lies several side quests involving communication, learning, writing, and/or tech, as well as sibling relationships and your neighborhood. As Venus enters Aries on the 6th to sprinkle some love on all of the above, it’s time to start any related projects you may have brewing. The ensuing days are a bit cloudy, however: as Venus greets nebulous Neptune, buzzkill Saturn, and power-hungry Pluto, you may encounter confusion and roadblocks. That should clear up by the 18th, however, which is also a lovely day for romantic pursuits (especially in the workplace)! Speaking of work, if you’ve been on a long and arduous journey of rehabbing work, health, and daily routines, you’ll begin to see some progress after the 11th. As Jupiter returns to full strength, you’ll reap the rewards. 

A renewed sense of urgency, action, and aggression will infuse your entire life once Mars enters your sign on the 2nd — but I bet the relationship-oriented Virgo Lunar eclipse of the 3rd will occupy your psyche for most of the month! You’ve been on a journey of cleansing and healing outdated (read: unhelpful) partnership patterns for over a year now, and, in addition to any eclipse-related purging and releasing, you’ve had Jupiter in your love and pleasure sector ramping up the spice factor to really move things along. While the experiences of the past few months have prompted a major growth arc, it seems you still have a few things to let go of before this era completes. Precise and clarifying, this eclipse wants you to recalibrate your standards in order to anchor what partnership style or philosophy works best for you. Goodbye projection, ta-ta mirroring — hello discernment, boundaries, and accountability. Conversations surrounding romantic expectations may crop up; train your focus on realistic standards and problem-solving. This energy also extends to business partnerships or other close one-on-one relationships! Remember: limerence is cool and all, but you want a functional relationship. Once Jupiter ends its retrograde period on the 11th, you’ll feel more equipped to begin applying all you’ve learned along the way.

Back to Mars. As I said, Mars will enter Pisces early in the month, which, aside from lighting a fire under your butt, will have you energetically revamping your identity, appearance, and life path. If you still have some lingering unanswered questions (i.e. decision paralysis jet fuel), I encourage you to stay receptive to intuitive insights and messages on the 7th, 9th, and 13th. Mercury is especially active on those days and any new info you come across could provide helpful hints and support. Be wary of verbal tiffs on the 15th, however. As Mars tangles with Mercury, tongues will wag and printers will crash. March 19th’s Pisces New Moon is (obviously) especially relevant for you, so use it to dream up the newest version of you. Stay rooted in your self-worth, especially once Venus moves into your financial sector on the 6th. Venus provides extra luck and harmony, which usually translates to increased cash flow, but the ensuing days are flooded with confusion, roadblocks, and annoying power dynamics. If that’s your experience, it should clear up by the 18th, a lucky day that’s also ideal for decadence and canoodling! Last but certainly not least, Mercury will end its retrograde period on the 20th, meaning that pesky identity crisis is on its way out.
