SignOut

March Astrocast
One of the more significant dates this month is March
24, when Mercury goes stationary direct or forward.
Essentially this means that you can start new projects
after March 17, Saint Patricia’s Day. And for those
of you who are more familiar with astrology, Pluto goes
stationary retrograde on March 15. Days of excessive
tension are March 2–3, 14–16, 23, 30–31.
Days of excessive joy are March 6–7, 9, 18, and
25–26.
Pisces (Feb. 19–March 20)
Mercury is retrograding in your sign this month, making
this a big time of review for you in all facets of your
life. So, get ready to clean out those closets, desk,
and attics. Mainly, get yourself out of the closet so
you can have more room for your stuff. You are going
to want to look at where you have been more than where
you are going. If there are problems at work or with
your lifepartner, expect those to jump out and grab
you. You will have a hard time being quiet about all
that is going on. The unedited truth will find its way
out of your mouth no matter how hard you try to keep
it in. So, don't. The end of the month is much smoother
and that will be the time to start your new birthday
projects.
Aries
(March 21–April 19) This month is a
time to spend in reflection. You are more sensitive
than usual to your environment, friends, and grouchy
co-workers. And you are not going to be very diplomatic
either. Romantic relationships can either be very spontaneous
and full of fireworks or full of temper tantrums and
finger pointing. Try to remember that you are the one
who is in the sensitive phase. At work you are more
creative if left to yourself. Bosses who like to look
over your shoulder will drive you CRAZY this month.
Just like a flower bud opening her petals to the Sun,
all will be well again with the first day of spring.
Taurus
(April 20–May 20)
March is the month to review current friendships—time
to get rid of all those negative so-and-so’s, and
get some new pals. You are ready. Don’t be surprised
if you just find yourself totally bored with people
who you have been connected to over the years. Don’t
feel badly, it’s just the cycle of change: Prune
off that deadwood, make room for fresh spring growth.
Don't be surprised if this same feeling bleeds over
into your career. Likewise at your job, change is a-looming
here too. When the job tedium hits, don’t hesitate
to get that résumé in shape. You will
be glad that you have created some options for yourself.
Gemini
(May 21–June 21)
Big time review of career goals, directions, and life
choices for this month. Don’t make any permanent
decisions until after March 17. If there are problems
showing up, take that as a gift with which to better
see your situation. Romance and relationships are still
on unstable ground, especially at the beginning of the
month. You may want to hide your relationship problems
by overloading yourself at work: Your social life may
be better and business chat can be profitable, but do
keep the conversations light.
Cancer
(June 22–July 22)
You are really open to new ideas and other people’s
points of view. You are really ready to put yourself
into your career, but be careful about starting new
initiatives until after Saint Patricia’s Day. By
the time we reach the first day of spring, you will
be totally focused on career goals and dreams of future
security. But all work and no play is no fun, so take
some time to renew your interest in social, community,
or business associations. There are some real finds
here both for love and money. Travel, too, could be
great for your soul this month.
Leo
(July 23–Aug. 22)
Lots of questions arise this month about whether or
not your lover really values you for the person you
are. You will begin to feel used if you don’t have
a discussion about this. You are just looking for reassurance.
If this shows up as money problems between you two,
this is just a thin disguise for what is really at the
heart of the matter. You still may have to wade through
the money stuff to get to what is really wrong. Work
and relationships heat up after the 23rd. So, if you
are waiting for a time to get motivated, that will be
the day.
Virgo
(Aug. 23–Sept. 22)
Your relationships are on review. If you are having
real problems, this can be a time when you end your
current relationship. Even if things are perfect, you
are still looking at what direction you and your partner
need to go. Some strong commitment aspects are just
around the corner and you can expect to see them in
June. Your career is really opening up. Get ready. You
are going to be exceptionally busy. Get all you can
organized this month because you won’t have the
time as summer begins.
Libra
(Sept. 23–Oct. 23)
This is a great month to redecorate the work place.
Disorganization and things out of place are on your
pet peeves list. You may want to move out some of your
co-workers. If you ask them nicely enough, they just
may go. And make sure that you eat healthy, get plenty
of rest, and see the doctor; you are more susceptible
to stress at the work place than normal. In your relationships,
you want some adventure—especially after the 23rd,
when the passion and intensity really heat up!
Scorpio
(Oct. 24–Nov. 21) Your
creative juices are flowing this month. You’re
itching for problems to solve and worthy forums to show
off your bodacious talents. And those horizons to conquer
better be fun: If you’re not having a good time,
you’re really just not interested. But as spring
approaches, you’ll start settling down and making
some long-term commitments in both career and relationships.
The serious time will be here then. Until then, play
play play.
Sagittarius
(Nov. 22–Dec. 21) I hope you have plans
for going back and visiting your family and your genetic
karmic roots. Because planned or not, this is what you
are going to do. You have a longing to see the old homeplace
... even if the old homeplace is reminiscent of a Stephen
King novel. All this revisiting and re-evaluating can,
of course, be done in the privacy and relative safety
of your therapist’s office. At your own home, you
are fixing things up. You will want a nurturing environment
to let those ghosts of Christmas past out of the attic
and eventually out of your life for good.
Capricorn
(Dec. 22–Jan. 19)
You know all those little jobs and projects that you
have been putting off for the last four months? This
is the month to dig in and finish them up. I know, they
are everywhere and your list seems endless. But, being
a Capricorn, you’ll find you won’t be able
to rest until you have completed them all. Honor this
instinct; ride that Capricorn bulldozer to completeness.
If you don’t have all the many tasks completed
by the 17th, you will not be encouraged to finish them
again until the end of June. As spring arrives, so does
spring fever. You are really looking for something exciting
and different in your love life. If boredom sets in
with your current partner, you will be out looking for
greener pastures.
Aquarius
(Jan. 20– Feb. 18) You are getting those
finances in order, paying old bills, and dealing with
any problems that you have been able to avoid in the
past. This is a great month to do that. Be careful that
you don't become a penny pincher with all this refound
focus on your money consciousness. A place that you
will want to spend your money is on your home or apartment.
You could even move or buy that home that you have been
planning on. By the end of the month, you are more restless
than usual and your temper is showing. Look for some
new adventures that get you away from your routines.
