Welcome to your March horoscope! Optimism is high with Pisces season in full swing. Having made it through the reality checks of late February, there are still some lingering confusions (which peak on the 8th), but once communication planet Mercury enters bold Aries on the 9th, conversations are at least much more productive and direct.
The new moon in Pisces on the 10th offers a compassionate reset; it’s a chance to forgive, forget and move on with your life. But while some stories are graciously ending, other narratives roll in with the tide. Venus enters Pisces, the sign of her exaltation on the 11th, bringing out everyone’s romantic side. The vibe is: falling in love too fast. Just make sure you’re not entering a delulu era around the 17th when the sun meets illusory Neptune and Mercury meets the unbridled North Node. Just because someone’s making big romantic statements that feel good in the moment, doesn’t mean this is meant to last. If you can’t pull yourself out, the universe will humble us all on the 21st when Venus meets up with Saturn and what’s actually possible becomes clear.
The spring equinox arrives and Aries season begins on the 19th—Happy Solar Return to our favorite forever young hotties like Pedro Pascal, Reese Witherspoon and Paul Rudd. Mars joins Venus in Pisces on the 22nd, releasing us from the rigidity we’ve felt around conflict over the past six weeks. There’s more willingness to see things from multiple points of view and less care about getting it “right.”
The turn toward spring is also when things get decidedly unsettled as it’s also eclipse season—a period of a few weeks every six months when sudden beginnings, endings and breakthroughs become the norm. This kicks off with a lunar eclipse in Libra on the 25th. Expect March to end with shake ups to all things Libra: relationships, beauty, aesthetics and art as many of us choose to give up people-pleasing tendencies and choose ourselves instead.
