Super magic in March

Mercury enters Pisces as March begins, joining the Sun, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus in this sign. This makes for a soggy early March with intense focus on emotions, spirituality, and the condition of groups and collectives.

Seek healing and offer prayers for world peace. Unusual combinations and offbeat romantic gestures appear as Venus aligns with Uranus on the 3rd.

Giving form to the fires of creation is a dominant theme for mid-March. A double burst of love and inspiration floods the ether as Venus enters Aries on the 7th and trines her lover-boy Mars in Leo. Mercury and Jupiter whisper sweet somethings in harmony with the love planets. Venus’ contact with Saturn on the 8th requires that relationships and creative efforts are solidified, formalized, and manifested into being. Energies that have been muted or caged are set loose in a blaze of glory as Mars shifts into direct motion on March 10th.

A final gush of Piscean water engulfs the senses as Sun/Mercury and Moon/Jupiter offer a double dose of mystical and magical energies on the 14th. The following day, the New Moon in Pisces joins with Mercury and Uranus, encouraging free expression of these loving, soul-healing vibes. Take a fresh look at the world as spring flowers start peeking through the warming earth.

Mercury enters Aries on St. Patrick’s Day, and makes his trine to Mars. The leprechauns will be bouncing off the walls, but will rue excesses as Mercury opposes Saturn the next day. Enjoy that green beer in moderation! The Sun enters Aries on March 20th, heralding a magnificent Ostara/Spring Equinox. The Sun, at its zenith in the sky, is trine Mars in Leo. They magnify power, strength, courage, and heroic archetypes. Make a fervent wish at the moment of the Equinox. Mars and Saturn facilitate opening doors to opportunity on the 22nd. The Full Moon in Libra on March 29th tests the seriousness of commitments to make changes and improvements for the future. Venus enters Taurus, her own sign of luxury and pleasure on the final day of the month.
