March Astrology Forecast by Lila Sofiyah
March ushers us into another new cycle with our astrological year initiating with the Spring Equinox.
We have been moving through the last days of the Eclipse season and the first Mercury Retrograde of the year. Both powerful transits that have brought a time of reorientation, reassessment and revelation.
This month brings a strong mixture of Pisces and Aries energy.
Symbolizing the completion and the beginning, the old soul and the initiator.
A powerful cusp of rebirth that calls us into this new energy and seasonal start of our year.
What is wanting to come into completion?
What is being renewed or reborn?
This month, we have four [lanets meeting in Cazimi, in the heart of the sun this month, which makes this a powerful time of illumination and activation.
Starting with the Sun meeting Mercury in Pisces at the midpoint of our retrograde cycle. As the Sun moves into Aries it is joined by Saturn, Neptune and Chiron. The Sun’s meeting with Neptune brings a powerful energy blending intensity and intuition, ambition with devotion and amplifying our creative expression.
When the Sun illuminated Saturn we may feel the push and pull of the need for structure with the desire for freedom, which reminds us that we may need to slow down in order to come back to what’s really important so we can build a foundation that is stable and long lasting.
Chiron, aka the Wounded Healer, meets the Sun and brings the wisdom of how to turn our greatest wounds into our greatest gifts. Inviting us to recognize these parts of ourselves that we may have dismissed, buried or pushed away, so we can bring them into the light to be seen, witnessed and integrated.
Keys Transits of this month
March 3rd | Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse at 12° Virgo, 3:33am PST
This month starts strong with the Full Moon and Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo, a sign known for its devotion, dedication and practicality. Happening on 3-3 at 3:33am, this feels like a powerful alignment!
This Eclipse will be able to be seen around the globe for those in darkness at this time.
This is completing our Eclipse portal that has led us from the Solar Eclipse last month. And the last Full Moon of the astrological year leading us into the Spring Equinox less than 48 hours later.
The moon in Virgo reminds us of when we are in service to what matters to us, we are aligned with truth, aligned with love. Shedding light around walking with gentleness, acceptance and compassion, as we hold this not only for others though for ourselves as well. Allowing space to unravel, rest, be and nourish our body, heart and soul.
A powerful portal of transformation and change as the veils may feel thinner and our senses and intuitive gifts heightened during this time. Eclipses initiate an energy of surrender and release, creating space so that we can more clearly see the path that lies before us and the steps forward.
Knowing that we can ask for ease and grace to navigate whatever changes and shifts that may be arising. Meeting any challenges with presence and gentleness of whatever may have brought us to this moment. Trusting in the unfolding as we let go of what is no longer serving to create space for the new that is ready to be brought into form.
March 6th | Venus enter Aries
Venus enters the initiator of the zodiac calling us forward with its courageous energy.
We may feel a sense of our fiery passion being sparked within.
Giving us the courage to initiate and ignite what is calling us forward.
Encouraging that untamed part of us to unfurl and be stoked by this time of fertility and expansion.
Calling us to be daring and bold to follow the heart’s call to express our deepest desires.
March 7th | Sun conjunct Mercury at 16° Pisces
The Sun and Mercury meet in the midpoint of our retrograde cycle.
This Cazimi in Pisces brings a creative and compassionate energy. T
You may feel inspiration pouring in.
Less focused on our day to day life and more connected to our dreams and what is possible.
Communication may rely on more creative ways of expression such as through art, poetry, and music.
Trusting in our intuition and allowing our steam of consciousness to channel whatever wants to come through. Letting our inspiration and imagination guide rather than intellect.
Taking time to be with our own thoughts, feelings and reflect.
This is a powerful time of illumination as we allow the radiance of our expression to merge with our true self.
March 7th | Venus conjunct Neptune at 1° Aries
This transit asks us what we are stepping into. What are we creating?
With both planets newly moved into Aries in the first degree of this sign, and the recent Neptune and Saturn Conjunction at 0° Aries, this feels like a continuation of this initiating energy that will be a theme throughout this month.
Venus brings us into our hearts to express and share our love, connect with others, aligning us to abundance, our values and prosperity and what is truly important.
Neptune, the planet of dreams, illusions, visions, connects us to our intuitive abilities and divine connection to Spirit. Showing what may have been kept hidden or veiled while also connecting us to the highest levels of consciousness.
We may be asked to look at our dreams and see where we can ground them into reality instead of being swept into an idealistic fantasy
Channeling Venus’s love of beauty and Neptune’s ability to access the higher realms with Aries’s passion to fuel this energy into creating something magical and magnificent.
March 8th | Venus conjunct Saturn at 2° Aries
This transit merges Saturn’s drive for structure and commitment with Venus’s desire for love and beauty.
Aries is motivated by passion, and can be easily excitable and impulsive though this aspect brings a deeper calling is for grounded stability in partnerships, and a maturing of how we approach love and relationship.
With Aries’ independent nature and fast moving pace, the focus tends to be more easily on the “me” while forgetting about “we” though when it slows down and leans in, something beautiful and long-lasting can be forged.
March 13th | Friday the 13th
This month brings us another opportunity to deepen in with this auspicious day of the Goddess. Honoring this day to celebrate, to reclaim and remember the power of the Divine Feminine through this sacred number.
Moving through the veils, collective wounds and conditioning to come back into rhythm with these natural cycles within us and all around us.
Reawakening our creative magic, receptive nature, intuitive gifts, connection to beauty, alignment with nature and our desire to connect and nourish ourselves and each other.
Remembering and reclaiming all parts of ourselves so we can fully show up empowered and embodied here and now in this time to create a new future together for ourselves, for each other, for all women and all beings.
March 18th | New Moon in Pisces at 28°, 6:23pm PST
This New Moon is the first since the Eclipse portal and occurs two days before the Spring Equinox.
A powerful lead up into the start of this new seasonal cycle.
Perhaps we may be feeling the energy shifting with this time of renewal and rebirth upon us.
For some of us still in winter in our natural environment we may still be feeling this inward pull. Giving space for wherever we are in our own inner rhythm, trusting that everything seeds and grows in its own timing.
We have been moving through the season of Pisces and this new Moon occurs in the last 2 days of this sign.
How has the energy of attuning with our intuition, expanding our consciousness, following our creativity, listening to our dreamstate, connecting with our sensitivity and moving with our emotional landscape been?
Can we continue to follow this flow, to be receptive, adaptable and to trust in the unfolding of life?
What is being seeded in the fertile soil as spring takes hold of us?
Creating space to nurture yourself and receive all that is here for you. Remember what it is to listen to your inner rhythm and move from this place. Trusting your own flow to move into this next cycle of momentum replenished and rejuvenated as we plant the seeds and set our intentions for what is to come.
Letting the light of your soul guide you to open to receive the fullness that is here to experience.
Match 20th | Sun enters Aries 7:46am & Equinox
The threshold of the Spring Equinox is marked by the Sun’s move into Aries.
Initiating us into a new cycle of the astrological year and the seasonal wheel of the Year.
The Equinox os celebrated every 6 months, mark the halfway point between the Solstices when day and night are equal.
A reminder of our own dance with the balance within and the polarities that make up our natural world. Dark and Light, Night and Day, Masculine and Feminine, Earth and Sky. Through this duality, we can connect to unity from the place where they meet, merge and connect. As above, so below. As within, so without.
We connect in the Spring with the element of Air, the direction of East, the dawn, the time of new beginnings, a new cycle and new day.
Spring brings the energy of emergence, renewal, fertility and activity as we move into the more yang or active time of the year of expansion and outward expression.
Feeling as the energy builds and expands with each new blossom, leaf and shoot. Witnessing as the light returns and the warmth of the sun’s rays intensify.
Listening as the sounds of the birds, bees and frogs ripple through the air.
Everything awaking from its slumber after lying dormant during the winter and ready to unfurl, blossom and expand.
As we cross the Cusp of Rebirth from Pisces to Aries, we move from deep water to active fire. Aries, the initiator of the cycle, calls us to action, encouraging us to step into our Courage, Passion and Leadership. Inspiring us to take initiative to stand up for what we believe in, to be a trailblazer, pioneer, spiritual warrior and move into this new cycle with enthusiasm and confidence.
March 20th | Mercury Direct 12:33pm 8° Pisces
Mercury transits direct today. While the energy starts to move forward we may not notice full momentum until we move out of the shadow period.
The shadow period is the time it takes to return back to where it started before the planet went retrograde,which in this case is April 9th.
Mercury in retrograde allows us the opportunity for a reset and reorientation to what is most aligned now. With on average 3 of these retrograde per year it gives an opportunity to slow down and look within.
While it may not always feel convenient to slow down,, it can be necessary in the longevity of what we are creating to have these opportunities to re-access and revisit what is truly important so we can move forward from this place.
What insights arose during this time?
What opportunities are ready to be brought into being?
Trusting your inner voice that knows the way.
March 30th | Venus enters Taurus 9:01 am
A Feminine, Fixed Earth sign, Taurus shows us what it is to be embodied.
Reminding us to enjoy the pleasures of life, to move with a slow and steady rhythm that feels sustainable for our bodies and nervous systems and to deepen our connection to the Earth.
Taurus is one of Venus’s rulers, inviting us to connect and allow sensuality to be our guide. Whether through the food we eat, the smell of the flowers around us, the feel of a caress on your skin, the beauty of nature, the sound of the most beautiful piece of music. Letting our senses come alive and be our guide to experience and allow life to move through us.
Inviting us to drop deeper into our hearts and our longing to connect and create meaningful relationships with others. Creating awareness around what we value and what is important to us. Reminding us of the beauty that lives within and all around us, if we allow ourselves to receive it. Allowing Love to lead the way!
March snapshot: This is a transition month as we move through completions and initiations. Initiating the new astrological year and the season of spring. Allowing the wisdom of our own rhythms and the rhythms of nature to be our guide. Returning back to the pulse of the earth, of our blood and our heart to show us the way. Nourishing our roots and finding our supports as we ride the waves of the journey.
