March
arrives with the promise of newness. Things are itching for resolution--
to make space for what is to come. Last month’s eclipse
season brought some interesting shifts and now is the time to
further actualize what has been brewing. However, this month seems
to center around fear issues; so be sure that it is not the fears
that are being actualized. Mars glides
into Cancer on the 4th, emphasizing the release of past
conditioning, especially from the family. ‘As within, so
without’ dictates that everything is here to teach us about
ourselves. This doesn’t mean that it’s always a direct
reflection, but the inner issues are always there. If annoyances
persist, then seek to further release that part inside that is
attached and judgmental. Learn the lesson and the class can end. The 5th
is ‘super lunar occultation day.’ The Moon will occult
Mercury, Venus and then Neptune. These alignments call for deep
acceptance of and centering in the present. The temptation would
be towards futuristic visions and ideas, which are totally fine,
as long as they don’t serve as an escape from the eternal
Now. Bring the visions into the present. The Sun sextiles
Jupiter on the 6th, hopefully fusing practically and flexibility.
Keep making those thematic plans; just make sure to leave room
for the details to shift. Venus conjoins
Neptune, also on the 6th, so don’t let financial
fancy influence those plans too much. This combination supports
the release of financial paranoia and the reallocation of that
attention to appreciating oneself. Mars opposes
Pluto for the final time on the 7th. This has been an ongoing
opposition, but this is the first in Cancer/Capricorn. This stimulates
more purging of our worlds: home, body, emotions, people we let
in, etc. But ideally, this has already been ongoing and resolutions
will be forthcoming along with a deeper awareness of what we really
want. The New Moon
is in Pisces, also on the 7th, enhancing the urge to take
a break from everything and get some space to contemplate and
process. This lunation asks that we keep inactivity/nurture on
our list of things to do. The Sun conjoins
Uranus on the 8th, bringing itchy impatience and rebellion
up to the surface. We can fight change or just flow with it, but
the issue now is speed and timing, we can have our own tempo if
we respect that everything/everyone else does too. Mercury conjoins
Neptune on the 9th, leading to strange thoughts and perceptions.
Visions and intuitions would be likely now, but watch out for
the standard Neptunian rose colored glasses delusion. Venus moves
into Pisces on the 12th, bringing peace and tranquility
to the tired nerves. This is Venus’ favorite place to be--getting
lost in the enjoyment of the Divine in all its forms. It’s
good for relishing music and nature and all things imaginative. Venus sextiles
Pluto on the 13th; once again we are being asked to go
deeper into enjoying the ride. However, we must respectfully acknowledge
and let go of the fears in order to achieve this; for when they
are suppressed, they gain more power over us. Mars sextiles
Saturn on the 14th, requesting a fine balance of patience
and determination. Again, don’t let fear be the focus, but
respect that it does exist on some level as a natural human condition.
Resolve to overcome the doubts and trepidations of experience. Mercury moves
into Pisces on the 14th, initiating an intuition-over-rationality
period. It’s much easier just to follow the flow than to
try to figure things out. Appearances can be deceiving, so seek
the truth of the under layers, which again, could require some
space and reflection. Mercury sextiles
Pluto on the 15th, bringing old mental constructs to the
surface for release or indulgence. This combination pushes us
to respect confusion, both our own and that of others. Venus opposes
Saturn on the 15th, calling for solidification of goodness
in relationships. Respect and mutual support are the optimal manifestations;
while worry and bitterness represent the difficult side. Intuit
how to be practical with those ideals; how to bring the higher
level versions further into being. Venus trines
Mars on the 16th, facilitating playfulness, togetherness
and romantic enjoyment. Relax, have some fun, put the worries
on the back burner and proceed towards pleasantness. Mercury opposes
Saturn on the 17th, stimulating some feistiness and sparring.
Exercise, debate and playing games are all good outlets for this
kind of energy. Watch out for sharpness but don’t deny the
martial tendencies. Spring begins
as the Sun moves into Aries on the 19th. As always, this
emphasizes being true to oneself while maintaining respect for
others. This particular Aries season highlights how we deal with
old versions of the self and how much we tone ourselves down to
cater to the fears of others. It’s clearly centered on that
fine line of doing one’s thing while avoiding other people’s
bubbles--because some might be waiting to burst. The Full Moon
is in Libra on the 21st, featuring a tight square to Pluto.
This leaves lots of room for people to project their undesirable
aspects onto the world around them, so beware. However, it could
also help to undo many of these lingering misunderstandings. Stay
centered and don’t take anything too personally. Mercury conjoins
Venus on the 24th, making it a little easier to communicate
with loved ones and enjoy the mundane. Remember to reinforce all
those loving connections that keep us going through the days. Mercury sextiles
Jupiter and conjoins Uranus on the 27th, pushing all our
minds into the higher realms. Where’s it all going? Is it
achieving its potentials? Should we really be asking these questions
or just hiking the trail? Let the mind travel and consider potentials,
but don’t do anything rash. Venus sextiles
Jupiter and conjoins Uranus on the 28th, bringing relationships
and finances into this equation of weighing the highest possibilities
and visions against the present status. This can be used to infuse
the seeds of the epic into ground or squandering on fantastical
‘coulds’ and ‘what ifs.’ Jupiter sextiles
Uranus, also on the 28th, giving an extra surreal twist
to existence. It’s a funny combination because it wants
to know the outcomes before their time; a lust for knowledge really.
However, the trick is not knowing, because this can clutter the
consciousness with the unnecessary. The key is to understand that
which we need to as deeply as we can, without a dependence on
external confirmation. Way easier said than done, but isn’t
everything? And maybe that’s the point. The Sun squares
Mars on the 30th, urging us even more into the present
and out of the emotional past. The word courageous means being
in the heart, and that is what is being asked of us. Being brave
doesn’t mean living without fear, it relates to living with
it. All in all,
March could be an extremely productive month, allowing us to make
giant leaps of faith into our purest selves, but challenging us
with all the old fears in the meantime. The theme focuses on bringing
the future into the present and releasing the limitations of the
past. How this is to be done is not easily said; but we can do
this work simply by being. Simple is beautiful.
