We begin the month of March with Venus going retrograde in Aries on Saturday, March 1st. Venus represents what we love and value. While Venus is in Aries we are learning how to love and value ourselves. Connecting with others in a new way is likely to be our experience while Venus is retrograde in Aries.
Mercury enters Aries on Monday, March 3rd. Mercury is the planet of communication. It is important to speak our truth and communicate honestly to others while Mercury is in the sign of Aries.
A First Quarter Phase Moon occurs in Gemini on Thursday, March 6th. Gemini is ruled by Mercury. The authentic communication of our ideas to others is favored at this time.
The Moon enters Leo and Daylight-Saving Time begins on Sunday, March 9th. Leo is ruled by the Sun. A time of more light could brighten our spirits.
A Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse occurs in Virgo on Friday, March 14th. The emotional focus for the next six months will be on our health, work and service.
Mercury goes retrograde in Aries on Saturday, March 15th. Impulsive decision-making is not favorable while Mercury is retrograde in Aries. Clarity is at a premium. Major life decisions may need to be delayed until we have all the facts.
The Sun enters Aries on Thursday, March 20th. This event symbolizes the beginning of Spring and is known as the Spring Equinox.

Venus retrogrades back into Pisces on Thursday, March 27th. This is a signal for us to pause and connect with our inner guidance and intuition before taking action on manifesting what we truly want and value.
A New Moon/Solar Eclipse occurs in Aries on Saturday, March 29th. This is the same day that Mercury retrogrades back into the sign of Pisces. The urge will be to take action on new projects but the wisdom is to wait until Mercury goes direct on April 7th. This period of reflection and restraint is further emphasized as Neptune enters Aries on Sunday, March 30th.
Neptune in Aries encourages us to seek spiritual guidance before taking action on our desires and objectives. It is prudent to check in with our intuition before making decisions or taking direct action. A thoughtful and spiritually inspired and soul motivated approach to our actions and decisions is recommended.
