At the same time, we have a cluster of planets in the evolved sign of Aquarius; Venus and Mercury are joined at the hip for most of the month, sandwiched between Chiron and Neptune along with the north node. This wonderful combination will open the channels of inspiration. What would you really love to do? What have you been thinking of on and off but kept on the back burner? Do you have any artistic, musical or writing ability? If so now is the time to get creating. Likewise for the channels of divine inspiration - mediums, psychics and astrologers should all find this a month when the inspiration and other worldly wisdom flows. It is as well to act on any ideas that you receive this month, especially in the early to middle section of March as Neptune forms a close conjunction to Mercury and Venus, opening portals to spiritual and artistic realms. Indulge your fantasies, let your imagination soar, express your creative and artistic abilities. Let the child in you out to play. This is the month when our dreams come alive, and if given permission, will gently begin to take shape. Be like a loving parent to the playful child and allow your imagination room to roam; who knows what delightful inspirations could manifest.
But the inspirations don't end there because as Venus and Mercury make their way hand in hand towards Pisces, they form the fourth corner of a mystical doorway. Lining up with Mars in Cancer, Saturn in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn, Venus and Mercury complete a rather special rectangle in the sky and thus a portal of opportunity opens up. And what is the opportunity? Well, it may be slightly different for each of us, but I believe this doorway is inviting us to recognise our divinity and become creative spirits. This isn't just about expressing your creativity; it's about recognizing that every aspect of your life is a creation, from your relationships, your job, your friendships to the state of your finances, your hobbies and so on. Many of us have believed in the lie that we aren't creative offshoots of the divine and have thus boxed ourselves into living lives of mundane mediocrity. This portal offers us a glimpse of the cosmic truth; that we are all little Gods connected to the one Source, and as such we can manifest our dreams with a little courage, trust and self belief. The watery, dreamy influence of Cancer and Pisces combined with the practical, earthy Virgo and Capricorn urges you to bring your inspirations down to earth and give form to your magical ideas. Don't let them float around in the ether or languish at the back of your mind, but acknowledge that a creative life involves a few risks. And when you follow your heart, a magical cloak of protection wraps itself around you and your Guides step in to clear your path. Don't worry about making wrong choices just be glad of the experiences that your choices bring.
So nurture your dreams; feed them with time spent away from the mundane world. Instead of watching TV do something creative; read a book, play with children and engage in their world of make belief. Then bring in the practical side by making a plan of how you're going to turn your dream into a reality. Maybe create a collage with images representing your chosen desire. Or write a plan of action. Find out what you need to know, and then get on with it.
The month ends with an incredibly powerful full moon on the 21st. The opposing Sun and Moon are squared by Mars and Pluto - ouch! But, if as mentioned earlier, you are willing to undergo a transformation, to rebirth yourself into a new way of being, this doesn't need to be a painful time. However, all births involve some struggle so don't expect to glide effortlessly through this full moon, especially if you were born under a cardinal sign: Aries, Libra, Cancer and Capricorn. But you can expect to reap the rewards for the effort you put in. This full moon could be a real test of your ego though. If you want to pass the test, move away from power struggles, jealousy, anger, manipulation and needing to have things your way. Aim instead for fairness, honesty, sharing and harmony. And if you can at the same time work on whatever it is that keeps you locked in fear and then let it go, you will find yourself catapulted from a roller coaster 3rd dimensional way of living into a more enlightened 5th dimensional existence.
I'll leave you with a quote from an author called Foka Gomez who encapsulates the higher potential that can be found this month. "Magic is believing in yourself; if you can do that, you can make anything happen."
Weekly Forecasts
Aries
March 1-6
As the Sun languishes in your zone of contemplation this is more a time for solitude rather than action. Think of this as your yearly rest period, when you can take your foot off the gas a little and renew your mind, body and spirit. Focus too on celebration by channelling more of your energies into pursuits that you really enjoy, as this can be just as energising as taking a rest. Time spent with friends could also be rewarding so make some space for enjoyable social activities. At the very least, try this week to bring peace, balance and harmony into your world so that you can renew your batteries whilst being a source of inspiration to those around you.
March 7-13
Once again this is not a week to be expending your energy in draining pursuits, and as a new moon in your quiet zone encourages you to go within, this would be the perfect moment to take some time out from the busyness of the world and contemplate what you want from life. Another reason for striving for peace and harmony is the Mars-Pluto opposition which is capable of ruffling even the smoothest of feathers. However, if you make time for solitude, reflection, yoga, meditation, walking or whatever pursuit works for you in terms of restoring peace and contentment, you should be able to navigate the stormy seas of this volatile aspect. Use the powerful energy of these two planets for good by finding a constructive outlet for any pent up frustrations - sports, dancing, vigorous housework or channelling your energies into a meaningful cause will help alleviate any fiery outbursts. The new moon falls on the 7th, so focus your energies within and listen to the whispers of your soul - it's only when we're quiet that we can hear the gentle prompts towards the next step in life.
March 14-20
‘A successful man is one who has spent an entire day on the bank of a river without feeling guilty about it' This Chinese proverb has relevance for you this week as Venus and Mercury join the Sun and Mercury in your zone of quiet repose to remind you that there is more to life than being busy. If you can't find one day out of the week to relax then something may be out of synch. This proverb also challenges us to take time out without feeling guilty - something that seems to be increasingly difficult in today's world when not being busy is frowned upon. And yet it's only when the mind switches off that the spirit offers us guidance, insight, and inspiration. If you need a clue as to what to do next; if you would like to feel more inspired or wish that your imagination would spring into life like it did as a child, the best thing you can do is take yourself off for a bit of quality time with your soul.
March 21-31
The full moon on the 21st is a passionate one to say the least, and since it falls in your opposite sign you can expect a little tension in the air around this date. Relationships of all kinds but especially partners and family members could be strained to say the least, but if you've been responding to your soul's need to turn within over the last few weeks, you should be in a much better position to react to people and situations with love in your heart. One component of this full moon would be the need to compromise so try and make sure that everyone feels like they're winning. Meet others half way and try and put yourself in the other person's shoes. Watch out for defensiveness, power struggles, and self centred actions. When you've successfully navigated the personal challenges of this full moon, you may then need to tune your attention towards yourself and reassess where you're going and how far you've come. This is stock take time and it may be that you decide it's time for a new vision. Certainly with Pluto and Jupiter at the top of your chart, this is one time in your life when you can achieve pretty much anything you set your heart on. So this is a week to make some changes that will see you taking big leaps forward toward your true purpose in life.
Taurus
March 1-6
The focus this week is on your friendships and your social situation and to perhaps create change in this area, especially if you've been feeling isolated or disconnected from others. Actually, most loneliness stems from being with the wrong people and not because we're from another planet! If you feel alone ask yourself whether the people who you integrate with are your kindred spirits. If not, it's time to move towards likeminded souls with whom you can connect. By putting out the request, your guides may prompt you with subtle signals, so be open to invitations and take up the offer of the social gathering, sign up for the new course, apply for the new job, join the local sports club. You never know who you might meet and by opening yourself up to people, the more chance there is of them opening up to you.
March 7-13
A Uranian new moon on the 7th blows the refreshing winds of change upon your social life and hopes for the future. This is a perfect planetary combination if you're seeking to change things, especially where friends and your place in the community are concerned. It may be time to reach out and connect with others. It could be time to appreciate the people around you so that you deepen your connections which in turn will bring more happiness to your life. If you feel alone this new moon signals the beginning of changes so start by asking how you can be a better friend. Or maybe it's time to let one or two friends go if they no longer resonate on your wavelength. People change over time and sometimes we need to acknowledge this and let people go with love and grace. Finally, this new moon offers hope with all your social endeavours and shines light upon any opportunities that will enable you to move on. This is definitely a time to look to the future and embrace any changes that are occurring in your world, especially those that increase your role in the great scheme of things.
March 14-20
As Venus and Mercury join the Sun and Uranus in your zone of friendship and hope, this should be an enjoyable, optimistic week when you are able to see optimistic images taking shape on the horizon of your future. Find a reason to celebrate and enjoy some quality time with friends and loved ones. Think about where you're going and see if you can make the destination as well as the journey even more abundant, inspiring and satisfying. Be creative with your imaginings and know that whatever you can conjure in your mind is achievable in the real world. You may need to prioritise however, otherwise you could feel pulled in too many directions and end up achieving little. Decide what matters to you most and let go of the rest. Make a commitment to whatever or whoever you believe in and set your course for your true goals and desires. It is likely that some things will need to be sacrificed for the new energies, but once this process begins, you probably won't even look back.
March 21-31
A powerful full moon on the 21st draws your attention towards work and health matters this week, but take care that you don't project onto others what lies within your own heart. We are all guilty of this tendency to allow others to press our buttons when really we need to look within for the reason why we get angry. So if you feel angry with a work colleague try and find the deeper reason for your irritation. Are they a mirror for some aspect of yourself that you've been denying? If your body is communicating messages of discomfort, be still for a while and tune into what that part of your body is trying to tell you. This may be an appropriate time to slow down and contemplate whatever issues are niggling away at you. This is a full moon which asks you to consider changing or transforming either your work, your health or the way in which you spend your days. Perhaps it's time to be more adventurous and reach beyond your previous limits. ‘In order to discover new oceans, man must first have the courage to lose sight of the shore.' Andre Gide
Gemini
March 1-6
The planets would suggest that it's time for a new vision. Or, if you've been entertaining new hopes for a while, now is the time to start taking steps to manifest them. And the key to your success it would seem is passion. When we have passion in our hearts, very little if anything can deter us. So find something that you feel passionate about and set to it with gusto. Eliminate doubt and refuse to entertain your fears - these will diminish once you start moving. Be open too to change. Nothing is meant to stay the same forever, and if there's something in your life which feels stagnant, either give it a good shaking, or let it go so that something new can replace it.
March 7-13
Variety is the spice of life, and this is certainly true for the typical Gemini. You thrive on change, novelty and excitement and as a sparkling new moon takes place at the top of your chart, change of some sort is almost certain. Let go of anything which impedes your forward movement or makes you feel down, because at this point in time your heart should be beating with excitement, not ticking over in a ‘going through the motions' kind of way. Let your imagination lead you forwards. Allow it to play with different scenarios and indulge yourself in a spot of daydreaming. It is our dreams - both nocturnal and daytime - that are the signposts of our deeper longings. So step away from seriousness, drudgery and predictable monotony, and reach out instead for a more creative imagining of what your life could look like, if you only believed it were possible.
March 14-20
A doorway of opportunity opens this week and through it you'll come to a crossroads. One path leads to improved finances, another to an exciting career, a third to improved family and domestic situation and the fourth towards greater intimacy and more meaningful love life. Hmmn, now which path will you take? The one you feel most immediately drawn to is the obvious choice but then that means sacrificing all the other options that you would love to experience too. Or does it? Actually, the planetary line up is so magical that whichever path you take will mysteriously link up with all the others further down the line. So now all you have to do is get moving before this wonderful window of opportunity closes.
March 21-31
Do you follow your heart or bow to pressure and conform or compromise yourself? Actually, there is no choice really, because to sacrifice your dream in favour of doing what you feel you ought to do, what is expected or demanded of you, will undo all the good work you've been doing in the last few weeks. The full moon this week is stressful for everyone as it forms a grand cross involving Mars and Pluto. Phew! It's enough to make anyone want to batten down the hatches and run away from it all. But if you can stay true to your deepest feelings and strongest desires, you will emerge from all this with your sanity intact and a new path to dance along. Take a rest if you feel you need it but don't give up on any hope or dream that you've recently been entertaining.
Cancer
March 1-6
A change is as good as a rest, so they say, and this week would be an appropriate time to blow away the cobwebs from any neglected, flaking pillars of your life and try something new. Maybe it's time to venture into the unknown. If you've been hanging back, perhaps putting something off through fear, doubt or lack of confidence, now is the time to find some courage and make a move. Mars is about to re-enter your sign. It's as though you're being given a second chance to do something you might have shied away from the first time around. A more colourful existence awaits. All you need to do is be brave and step into it.
March 7-13
If you always do what you've always done you'll always get what you've always got. If you're not happy with the way things are, especially if they've been like this for some time, the only solution is to change things, and this might mean changing yourself. It might also mean that you need to stand up for yourself and fight for what you believe in. A powerful Mars-Pluto opposition could well bring about a tense situation featuring issues of control. No one can control you unless you agree to it, and likewise, you can't control others unless they concur. Take a look at how much control you have both over your own life and the lives of others. If you need to be more independent (or allow others room to breathe) then make a pact with yourself this week under the new moon to move away from dependency and reclaim your personal power.
March 14-20
The more tightly we hold onto something, the more likely we are to lose it. It seems you have a choice: to cling onto something or someone, trying to keep things the way they were. Or you can move into a new way of living and take the more creative, adventurous, freedom loving path. A cluster of planets in your zone of adventure says this is quite simply the time for a new approach. A time for new experiences and a change of scene. It's ideal for taking a trip somewhere new, but it's just as meaningful to sign up for a new course, make a new friend, eat at a new restaurant, go for a new job role or even to just take a new route to work. All that's required is to shake things up a bit to break the old patterns and bring in a fresh, new perspective. So over the next few days, be on the lookout for opportunities to do things differently or to have new experiences. This then may well get your imagination going, bringing in new ideas for more exciting times.
March 21-31
No one would expect you to sing and dance your way through this week's full moon on the 21st. Well, no one who knows anything about astrology, that is, for this full moon is about as potent and stressful as they get and it will have a strong impact on the way you are feeling. Now you have a choice. You can either use this information to expect the worst and use it as an excuse to be in a bad mood. Or you can take the ‘forewarned is forearmed' approach and do your best to adopt an attitude of loving and sharing, as opposed to fighting and squabbling. Whatever emotions this full moon stirs up, you would be advised to look deeper for the root cause. Could it be that boredom and frustration are provoking anger towards other people? The planets are lined up in such a way as to prod you into action. Issues to consider are your own personal desires, the needs of your nearest and dearest, your direction in life and your relationships. Maybe it's time to sit down and work out how much of your time and energy you currently devote to these areas and see where there might be an imbalance. If you are not doing enough for yourself and too much for others then you are right to feel angry, but only at yourself since this is the path you've chosen. Decide how you want things to be and focus your energies on doing what you enjoy and being with the people you love.
Leo
March 1-6
Only when we resist change does life start becoming uncomfortable. Some signs that something needs to change include, boredom, stagnancy and frustration. Perhaps there's something in your life that needs to transform and if so, now is the time to be thinking how you're going to do it. It can be difficult letting go of the old ways, but it's only when we do, that we can usher in the new beginnings that the soul longs for. Be receptive to what could happen and then be imaginative as to what you'd like to happen.
March 7-13
If you want to know how you were feeling yesterday, see how your body is behaving today. The body perfectly mirrors our thoughts, beliefs and emotions and with Mars burrowing around in your unconscious and Pluto in your house of health, don't be surprised if you're not feeling on top form right now. But instead of feeling fed up, look at what your body might be trying to tell you. What are you aching for? What in your life is causing you pain or sadness? What might you be holding onto? The new moon in your transformation zone signifies time for a rebirth. It's time to let go of all the outdated beliefs, patterns and actions that you've been repeating for so long. And in their place, welcome a completely new phase of life. If you need help, listen to your higher self for guidance, or feel in your heart what you need to do. Your relationship with one person inparticular should be a source of inspiration now so lean on them if you feel weak. Before long, you will gain in strength and emerge reborn into an exciting new era.
March 14-20
Some things can't be rushed. A cake needs a certain amount of time to cook in the oven - undisturbed - or it will sink. An idea needs a certain amount of time to gestate before its ready to be unleashed upon the world. Likewise there is something in your life that you wish were happening now, or at least showing some signs of happening. But there is much planetary activity in the hidden, deep, dark areas of your chart suggesting that things are taking place behind the scenes that you're not aware of. The Moon takes 28 days to go full cycle - it can't suddenly miss a sign and hurry up back to the beginning! Likewise, trust that whatever it is you're waiting for, will manifest, when the time is right.
March 21-31
As the Sun takes a battering from Mars and Pluto under the full moon on the 21st, so too may you feel battered and bruised. Emotionally, this could be a tough few days, but what emerges at the end of it will hopefully make it all worthwhile. If in the meantime though, perspective goes out the window, try and regain your equilibrium by taking yourself away from the situation. It would be a good time for a little excursion to blow away the cobwebs and stretch your mind to entertain new possibilities. Try and avoid power struggles but at the same time you need to believe in yourself and maintain some degree of power and autonomy. Once again, patience will be a key factor. A new beginning will emerge soon, but for now allow whatever is happening (or not happening) to run its course. When the time is right (which will probably only be in a few weeks) you will begin to feel much more motivated, dynamic and positive as you turn a corner and move into brighter times.
Virgo
March 1-6
It's time to give yourself some breathing space and take some time to nurture yourself. Too much work, analysing, duties and responsibilities can be very wearing so the planets ask you to make time for nourishing and invigorating pursuits. If a relationship is uncertain it may be because there's a change which needs to take place. Don't resist the change and know when to step back and say enough is enough.
March 7-13
A sudden change or development in a relationship could seem unsettling, but really if you look a little deeper you might be able to see that it needed to happen. Perhaps its time to move on, or maybe the relationship needs to change in order to grow. Maybe there are issues of freedom and independence that need to be addressed. Kahlil Gibran author of the Prophet, said "let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of heaven dance between you." And if you find yourself comparing yourself with others, know that insecurity lurks within the shadow and focus instead on all your strengths and unique beauty, affirming that you are lovable just as you are.
March 14-20
The arrival of Venus and Mars into your relationship zone should do much to ease any recent ups and downs. In fact, it should be easier now to dance along love's road and is ideal for sharing your thoughts and feelings. It's not just your love unions that can blossom now but all your one to ones, so take some time to form deeper bonds with people you care about or to forge links with those you'd like to know better. Share your ideas, philosophies and dreams, for two is stronger than one. Find ways also to bring creativity into your partnerships and be open to possibilities. Don't let fears, doubts and insecurities spoil things but work at eradicating these elements from your interactions with others. Expect good things and that is what you will get.
March 21-31
Despite the tumultuous full moon on the 21st, Venus dancing with your ruler Mercury could offer you a way through the ups and downs, and that is to be light, creative, loving (that's self loving as well as loving to others) and to focus on abundance rather than lack. The full moon for you could generate feelings of financial or material insecurity but this is easily alleviated by taking a more empowered and optimistic approach. Once again, seek to avoid comparisons as this is the fastest way to make you feel miserable. Be happy with who you are and what you've got, knowing that whatever is right for you won't be taken away. So seek to transform any situation that you find wanting - especially your financial and material circumstances - by having a clear idea of what you want and then taking constructive no nonsense steps towards achieving it.
Libra
March 1-6
An inspirational and creative week could be yours if you make time to allow your imagination free reign. A cluster of planets in your house of romance and art offers you the perfect chance to express what you feel, whether through paintings, music, dance, prose, play or romantic gestures. This is the area of love, self expression, games and children, and the one thing that connects all of these things is that they all come from the heart. So a good question to ask yourself this week would be ‘Am I doing enough of what I love? Another question might be, ‘Am I making the most of my creative abilities?' Since Chiron is involved, it may also be timely to look at any wounds or blockages that you might have in the areas of love affairs, children and creativity and set the intention to heal or remove them. With Mars poised to move back into the success region of your chart, you want to make sure that your heart and soul are clear of issues which could sabotage you since this is a rare opportunity to proceed with your dreams and ambitions and make some serious headway towards your true purpose in life.
March 7-13
Is there something you need to let go of in terms of your work or daily life? If so, the new moon is on hand to usher in new beginnings and bring positive, refreshing changes to your daily existence. If an opportunity comes along at this time, it would probably be prudent to take it, since the most important thing that you need right now is change. So don't ruminate too much over whether a forthcoming development or opportunity will be successful or not - simply enjoy the change of scene. This new moon on the 7th could inspire you to make empowering changes to your health and wellbeing. Perhaps there'll be an opportunity to take up some exercise that will invigorate you. Or you might stumble across a piece of health advice that is very relevant for you. Ultimately, the most important thing you need to be aware of this week is the need to move in a different way and shake things up a bit. Move away from that which leaves you feeling flat or that which has become too familiar or predictable, and move instead towards that which is exciting, new and unfamiliar. Mars at the top of your chart will give you all the motivation you need to be bold and dive into the unknown. Rudyard Kipling reminds us that, "Courage is not the absence of fear, it is the control of fear."
March 14-20
"Never hurry. Take plenty of exercise. Always be cheerful. Take all the sleep you need. You may expect to be well." This quote from James Freeman Clarke should provide all the inspiration and reassurance you need to create wellness in your body and spirit this week. With four planets in your zone of health and wellbeing your focus needs to be on getting yourself in a vibrant and energetic yet peaceful state. When our bodies are unwell - even with just minor aches and pains - it becomes difficult for the spirit to shine. The better you care for your body the more it will serve your spirit. So if changes in your daily life have left you feeling unsettled, or if too many work or other demands on your time have left you feeling depleted now is the time to restore some harmony. Integration could be the key, so work towards getting all the areas of your life - love, work, family, health, social etc - into a harmonious whole. Too much of anything leaves us depleted and hungry for that which is missing. So try this week to find a happy medium and all will be well.
March 21-31
Hopefully you took advice from last week and made time to nurture our body and spirit because this week's full moon on the 21st will test your strength on many levels. With Pluto and Mars squaring this full moon in your sign, you are apt to feel emotionally pummelled, so whatever is happening, make time to rest and recuperate. The most important thing to be aware of at this time is that you need to stand back and assess the situation. A sense of perspective may be hard to find as emotions and passions run high. The areas in question will be relationships, family and where you're going. This is why you need to stand back and have a little stock take. How far have you come in the last six months? Are you making progress? Where would you like to be in the next six months? It could well be that something needs to change and transformation of any of the aforementioned areas could be appropriate. So seek not to keep things as they are, but to change things for the better. If you feel you have to do it on your own, then do so. Mars at the top of your chart encourages your independence, motivation and boldness. So don't wait for others to give you permission, or to walk by your side holding your hand. It is time for you to make progress, to move forward and to have the courage of your convictions. This could be a week when push comes to shove but don't waste your time on pointless power struggles. Instead, grab the bull by the horns and do whatever you need to do for your health and happiness.
Scorpio
March 1-6
A rigid tree in a storm is more likely to break than a flexible one that moves with the wind. Try this week, to be like the flexible tree when the winds of aggravation might be blowing around you. A tense aspect with Mars and Pluto may make the idea of a warrior stance appealing but if you go in all guns blazing or get involved in power struggles the outcome may be less successful than if you apply grace and receptivity to the situation. Be open to whatever seems to oppose you and try dancing your way around the challenges rather than stomping through and flattening all the daisies! Also a receptive approach is one which will win you friends and lead you towards new experiences. A door slammed shut rules out all possibility but an open, curious, accepting mind is one which will make all the difference to your week ahead.
March 7-13
The new moon on the 7th challenges you to be true to yourself and to make choices which are empowering and which will take you closer to your purpose. It is an ideal time to begin afresh in a creative venture or to release anything which deadens your spirit. In fact, this could be quite a rebellious new moon as you realise that it is becoming increasingly important to come from your heart in all areas of life, but especially creative and romantic ventures and anything which really matters to you. With the Mars-Pluto opposition still active on this new moon, it is definitely a time for transformation, so be open and willing to shed your old skin.
March 14-20
As Venus and Mercury dance into your house of fun to join the Sun and Uranus, it should become easier to see the light at the end of the tunnel, especially if recent times have been a struggle. Your family and domestic situation inparticular may have triggered some sorrow. Release any sadness knowing that sometimes we have to let go of things in order to embrace new possibilities. Don't languish in your cave licking your wounds for too long because there are new adventures waiting for you out there. So pick up your dancing shoes, your paintbrush and your guitar (and whatever else signifies fun and enjoyment) and dance your way towards a more creative, colourful and enjoyable set of circumstances.
March 21-31
This week's full moon is one of rebirth and it challenges you to let go of something that's not working for you. It might be a habit, a situation, a job or relationship, or a limiting belief. It may not be easy but all things worthwhile usually have to undergo some kind of struggle, so be prepared to let go and push through to the other side. Since the energies are a bit topsy turvey - especially around the 21st - it is important to strive for balance. Mars and Pluto can make it tempting to think that manipulation is the key to getting a successful outcome, but you would in the long run do better by seeking to empower both yourself and others, and refusing to partake in hidden agendas and power games. Honesty and fairness will be rewarded this week, and an adventurous child like spirit will guide you effortlessly to where you need to be.
Sagittarius
March 1-6
As Pluto settles into Capricorn, the time has come to transform your material and financial situation. It is worth noting that if you wish, you could before long, become financially empowered and even rather wealthy. But first things first. Sagittarians score highly on blind faith and optimism which is good for ensuring that something or someone always steps in at the final hour to produce a happy ending. But if you want to be more in control of your happy endings and see more of them, you perhaps need to work a little bit at the one thing that Sagittarians don't score so highly on: discipline. If you would like to be free from debt, to earn more, or to plan for your future, then now is the time to knuckle down. Don't stay in denial about any aspect of your material life. Instead, take charge and relish the prospect of being more in control. Also this week, you could find yourself locking horns with another, especially in financial matters, and once again you need to stand firm but be fair. This is a year for big, bold enterprises but for now make sure everything is above board and out in the open before progressing.
March 7-13
A change is as good as a rest and under a Uranian new moon this philosophy applies itself most strongly to your home and domestic situation. So could it therefore be time for a change of residence, or a change of décor, or a change in how you relate to a certain person? Could it be time to generate more gratitude for what you have around you, perhaps showing your appreciation for those close to you? Certainly if you want to turn over a new leaf in your personal life this is the ideal time for starting afresh. The planetary advice would be: don't look back and relish your new beginnings, however big or small they might be.
March 14-20
More often than not we are prisoners of our own mind. It is our thoughts and perceptions which limit us, not our circumstances. One man's misery is another man's joy. So if there's a situation that is less than pleasing to you, perhaps you could reframe it. Can you see it in a different way, perhaps observing things about your situation that you'd never thought of before? Sometimes it's good to get other people's opinions or to observe others in similar situations. And if a situation really is unbearable, acknowledging that you have the power to change it (again, even if only in attitude) can be very liberating. Change or transform the way you see something and aim to infuse it with as much joy as is humanly possible.
March 21-31
Are you entitled to pleasure? Do you feel deserving of the good things in life? The full moon on the 21st would say that you do, but there might be a bit of tension in either coming to that realisation or getting to that point. Perhaps someone or something is standing in your way. If so, do they have a point or are you sacrificing too much? Or maybe it's your own beliefs that are stopping you from delving into the garden of delight and enjoying what's on offer. Maybe you tell yourself you've too much work to do, or perhaps you feel guilty for indulging in pampering or pleasurable pursuits. It's as well to remember that life is to be enjoyed not endured, so put aside whatever is making you resist joy, and make it your mission to have more fun.
Capricorn
March 1-6
Maybe all that's needed is a change of approach; a different system, a new way of seeing the situation, a different set of thoughts or philosophies. Changes are taking place both in your inner world and outer world - embrace them, for this is one time in your life when things aren't supposed to stay the same. Take a look at your life as a whole; does it work? Does it make you happy? If not, now is the time to have a rethink and start planning some changes. And maybe the first change begins with the belief that anything is possible.
March 7-13
Mars opposite Pluto in your sign is calling for a transformation. Although this may not be without some pain and struggle, whatever is happening in your world right now does so for a good reason. Perhaps things had become too stagnant, or maybe you're ready for a fresh set of challenges and a new host of experiences. Either way, the new moon on the 7th urges you to embrace change and to once again look for news ways of doing things. Throw out your old beliefs that say you're only capable of so much. Get rid of limiting ideas that say you have to work hard or that life is a struggle. These things are only true if you believe them. Nobody ever said a Capricorn's life was easy but for this year at least, with Pluto and Jupiter in your sign, the world is your oyster and the passport to pleasure is right there in your hand.
March 14-20
Imagination is the key to any puzzles in your world this week. And if that fails try inventiveness. So if you want better health, imagine yourself vibrantly healthy and affirm that this is true. If you prefer a more practical approach work with whatever you've got and strive for improvement. If you wish for more love and romance, imagine the sort of love life you'd like whilst at the same time taking practical steps to make it a reality. Make time for fun and adventure and give yourself enough space to rest and recuperate. A balanced life is what you need to strive for this week, and then to use the power of your mind to imagine and create situations that bring more colour and joy into your days.
March 21-31
If you're faced with an important decision to make, go for what is your most important priority. Therefore, if security is your priority don't make any rash moves. If success and achievement are your priorities, then go for that which will help you achieve your aims. If faced with a romantic choice, move in the direction that will empower you and help you to grow as a person. The full moon on the 21st is a passionate one to say the least, and you could feel pulled in various directions, but perhaps the most important direction is the one that will move you onwards and upwards. Focus on that which will feed your spirit and don't be manipulated or pressured by the demands or expectations of others. Be fair, yes, but you also have to do what feels right in your heart.
Aquarius
March 1-6
The theme for this week, and for much of the month, is abundance. You could be about to witness some big changes or developments in your financial state or your material life. Be open to opportunities that could bring positive changes but the most important thing is to be grateful for how much you already have. This gratitude acts as a magnet for more good things to come to you and the best way of doing this is to keep a gratitude journal. With Venus in your sign, it looks as though you should have lots to feel good about so take pleasure in what you do have and think positively about that which you would like to manifest.
March 7-13
The only thing that will stop you from having a successful outcome this week is if you block it by your own limiting thoughts. With a scintillating new moon in your financial zone there should be a change of some description on the horizon. It could be a change of circumstance such as a new job, but it could also be a change of attitude that will then later change your circumstances. Perhaps you want to change the way you do business, or summon the confidence to start a new enterprise. Maybe it's more important for you to change the way you view money, perhaps by either granting it more respect so that you can have a better relationship with it, or to put less emphasis on it if it has previously governed too many of your decisions. Your life choices should be heart centred as this is the only way to happiness, but there should also be a respect for what you do and the money that is exchanged for your services. So whether you're hoping for a promotion, an offer, opportunity, new venture or a positive outcome to a material matter, the omens this week would suggest you're on track to victory and success.
March 14-20
Are you currently making the most of your gifts and talents? Are you showing the world what you're capable of? Are you doing what you would love to do, or merely paying the bills? The arrival of Venus and Mercury into your zone of money and talents joining forces with the Sun and Uranus suggests that this is the time to question what you are doing and the way in which you earn your money. There has never been a better time for a change so don't let fear stop you from branching out and doing what calls to your heart. All new ventures and new beginnings are well starred now and if you are already doing what you love you can expect things to go from strength to strength. On a more personal level, be open to giving and receiving, from a simple compliment to a lavish gift. The more you can give and receive in equal measure, the more you will be able to accept the joy and happiness that is your birthright.
March 21-31
Whether you're already in the process of fulfilling your purpose and working hard at it, or whether you're at the early stages of manifesting your true destiny, the message is the same: pace yourself. Rome wasn't built in a day and the planets would like to remind you that there's no need to rush. Allow things to gradually unfold in their own good time. Often we impose unnecessary deadlines on ourselves simply because we think that's the way it should be. I want o have achieved X Y and Z by the end of the year, or I must have that new carpet fitted before my birthday party. Maybe we think we must have the new car because we've had our old one for four years and we always change it every three or four years. Go easy on yourself and relax your rules otherwise this week's full moon on the 21st could see you getting worked up unnecessarily. Keep where you want to be in clear sight, and work steadily towards getting there. The trick is to enjoy the journey and not be obsessed with the destination.
Pisces
March 1-6
"To a young heart, everything is fun." So said Charles Dickens who aptly describes your ideal approach to life this week. If you've been feeling a bit serious of late, now is the time to let playfulness make its way back into your days and great each new day with the enthusiasm of a child. Who knows what delights may lie ahead, but what we do know is that the more we expect and be grateful for good things, the more likely it is that we'll attract them. Mars is on the verge of returning to your house of fun so take a moment to contemplate how you can direct more of your energy into creative, playful or enjoyable pursuits.
March 7-13
Be ready to embrace positive change this week as an electrifying new moon occurs in your sign. This is definitely a time to let go of the old and bring in the new. So whatever feels stagnant and out of date should be gently released so that exciting new energies can flow into your life. Be open to possibilities and be prepared to do things differently - perhaps even to be different. If we keep doing what we've always done in the way we've always done it, how can we expect anything to change? So if you're normally the sort of person who says no, trying saying yes. Conversely, if you're forever saying yes, try saying no. If you hang timidly on the sidelines, try plunging in without thinking. If you're normally bold and impulsive, hang back and let others have their say. By being different you will open different doors which could lead you towards a whole new set of experiences.
March 14-20
This week should contain a stimulating mix of challenge and opportunity. The cosmos is active this week and none more so than in your sign. Firstly, a lovely pairing of Venus and Mercury as they waltz into your sign, bringing increasing confidence, the ability to communicate and ask for what you want along with the charm and appeal to have people falling over themselves to help you. There is no need to feel alone this week, or to try and do things on your own. Reach out and ask for help if you need it because there are plenty who would be glad to lend a hand. That's not to say however, that the course of your relationships will run smoothly this week as Saturn in opposition to Venus and Mercury in your sign call for some serious attention to this area of your life. Perhaps there is one person inparticular who needs your attention right now and this would be a good point to see if there are any relationships which could benefit from a transformation. Things don't have to continue in the same way, so be open to change this week, not just in your dealings with others, but in every area of life.
March 21-31
This week's full moon on the 21st is perhaps the most dramatic we could envisage and for you it will bring about changes with your financial and material status. Firstly, if a situation has reached breaking point, this full moon will clear the decks and allow clarity to illuminate matters. Secondly, avoid getting involved in power struggles, especially where money, possessions and property are concerned. Stand back and count to 10 before making hasty decisions. If you feel stuck and don't know which way to go, wait until this full moon has passed before taking dramatic action. Aim instead for constructive action, or make some decisions that will lead to your financial empowerment. If deprivation has been a theme, know that you don't have to continue in this way any longer. Make a decision now that you will work towards improving matters and put your focus on abundance and prosperity. If this applies to you, it may be that feelings of not being good enough may lie at the root of any lack. Begin to affirm on a daily basis that you are good enough and that you deserve good things by stating Louise Hay's favourite affirmation, I love and approve of myself. 11 times a day for 22 days should do the trick.
Card of the Month - Fighting
The confrontational image of the angry and defensive person in this card shows us what we are in danger of if we allow the passionate energies of March to bring out our less evolved qualities. It is probable that many of us will be tested this month, but how we rise to the challenge reflects how much we may still have to learn. Will we respond defensively in a suit of armour? Or with a loving embrace? From a prickly retort or a sarcastic comment to a full blown attack we must remember that our words have the power to hurt or to heal. Will we inspire others with our communications or frighten or depress them with our own fears and insecurities? There is a fork in the path - one path leads towards inspiration, the other towards fighting. They are not labelled and they look pretty similar at this point, so how will you know which path to choose? Close your eyes, get quiet, feel the love in your heart and let your feet start moving.
