MARCH 2023

An overview of March 2023.

The month of March, is a gate, a milestone and a stepping stone. The stars of our galaxy, are here to be your transportation vehicle, no matter your destination. The major focal points for March, are Saturn and Pluto. How can this help you? A simple way to put it, is this; keep the balance between your material pursuits and your spiritual needs. It is more than OK to feed your mind and your soul but in this world, you need to cherish your body and the physical world around you, as well. By cherish, I mean, it is actually required, in my humble opinion, of us humans to use our cognitive skills to create and prosper. The manner in which we will continue to pursue our goals and its affects on our planet, is what will be scrutinized under this very powerful shift of Saturn in Pisces and Pluto in Aquarius*.

How to maneuver through March 2023, aspects and dates.

Use the first two weeks of the month to put your affairs or projects in order by taking action and with due diligence. Watch your wording on the 2nd, if it is explosive or too judgemental, you may miss out on a life changing personal or financial connection. There is a soft, dreamy and altruistic essence in our communications, March 3 to 19. Stay alert however, to deception, drugs or any escapist tendencies. Saturn enters fluid Pisces on the 7th, increasing our intuition, creativity and empathy.

On the flip side, it can make us feel insecure, introvert and scattered, which makes it a good time (on the 12th, 17-18th) to begin a healing process or rebuild your self confidence, via a Life Coach, Therapist, or join a related program. Look out for injuries on hands, legs, escapism or taking the easy way out on the 15-16 and 17th, especially the mutable zodiac family (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) or if you have points to your chart here. It is great news indeed, on the 17th, when loving and financial safety oriented Venus, happily enters her ‘astro-kid’, Taurus until April 11. During this time frame we can stabilize our practical affairs and learn to stand on our own two feet. We can also be kinder, sweeter and romantic but connected to reality.

On the 18th, Venus sextiles Saturn. It is a good time to set solid foundations in your financial and personal exchanges. Stubbornness and possessiveness can also surface here. It is worth mentioning here, that introverts can become explosive extroverts, especially the fixed zodiac family (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) or if you have points to your chart here. Get ready for an Aries stellium (Mercury, Sun, Jupiter, New Moon in Aries) after the 20th, giving you the green light, go! By the way, did you check your brakes, literally and figuratively before the 20th? No? Please do!!! On March 24, Pluto begins a test drive in Aquarius, until June 11. Sustainability is the magic word to successfully enter ‘this astro-gate’ for the next 20 years!

Mars enters intuitive, affectionate, caring, brilliant and nagging Cancer on the 26th, until May 20th, fortifying such characteristics. Your approach to life becomes tenacious. Avoid nagging, unhealthy attachments or power, control games. Why? Because you don’t need to, your nurturing side and brilliance, will win the opposition over. On the 30-31st, Mars in Cancer trines Saturn in Pisces. Lucky water signs…

Structural SATURN enters altruistic Pisces on March 8, 2023 to May 24. 2025 and sextiles Uranus, during this journey. It is revolution time; revolution of the mind, the soul, growth and fair treatment, including fair trade. It can be erratic energy, so hopefully the human kind, will choose to work smart, over the next 20 years, not hard.

Transformative PLUTO enters humanitarian Aquarius on March 24, 2023, until 2044. Sustainability, truths that hurt, sexual identity issues and knee jerk reaction to injustice, are some of the subjects on the global table. Technology: friend or faux?

Uranus is direct. Space exploration peeks. Stay connected to and aware of, our Earth’s needs.

In March, balance dreams and reality… and move forward.

There is a Full Moon* at 16 degrees 40′ Virgo, on the 7th.

On the day Saturn enters contemplative and altruistic Pisces until 2026.

It affects us all but mostly the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces) and people with points to your chart here. You are directly affected by this Full Moon, if your birthday is June 1-11, September 1-11, December 3-13 and March 1-11.

In order to harvest the positive influence from such a moon, you need to find and keep the balance, between your practical nature and needs, to your spiritual nature and needs, logic vs emotion and over analyzing vs being scattered. Virgo is meticulous, dependable, inspiring and judgemental when provoked. It follows its intellectual instincts and analytical abilities. Pisces, its polar opposite, is intuitive, altruistic, it ebbs and flows and can be rather averse to responsibility or structure. Balancing our daily routines and creating a healthy environment becomes vital. Digestive track, nervous system disorders and injuries on extremities can occur, if we don’t.

This Full Moon brings to light our intellectual needs, our worries or what we fuss over and the truth behind perfectionist tendencies. It is trined by Uranus, which brings innovation, personal and collective awakening. With this unpredictable planet in highly compatible to Virgo and Pisces, Taurus, we can bring stability in our lives and secure the longevity of our endeavors, especially if they are connected to New Age everything! For example, if you work in the service industry, an innovative idea can help upgrade the quality of life for those concerned. This idea or product, could be patented and become a lucrative endeavor. Want to really elevate yourself this Full Moon? Nurture your soul. How? Be generous. Balance, as always, is key.

There is a New Moon** at 0 degrees 50′ Aries, on the 21st.

Transformative Pluto enters rebellious Aquarius on the 24th for 21 years.

It affects us all, but mostly the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) but also the last degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces) due to degrees in proximity. You are directly affected by this New Moon, if your birthday is March 16-26, June 16-26, September 17-27, December 17-27.

A new life journey has begun, as you thrust forward, pursuing your dreams and turning them into your new reality. Mercury, our thought process and contracts, is also nearby in the self sufficient powerhouse that is Aries. This is a significant new beginning, as it occurs on the first zodiac sign, on its first degree, at 0 and 50 min. Aries rules the head, so you can become a leader in your field, a ground breaker or a risk taker. Difficult as it may be to brake your stride, knowing when to shift into the right gear, is the key to your success. This includes, knowing what to say, how to say it and better yet, when to not say a thing and simply observe… Balance out, putting the pedal to the metal vs hitting the brakes!

IT SMELLS LIKE SPRING SPIRIT

Astro-highlight for February 2023: Task master, tenacious, hard work rewarding, albeit limiting, Saturn, is now direct. Translation? Have you been patient, worked hard, consistently and kept an open mind to changes? You are slowly coming out of the woods and depending on your chart, your hard work begins to pay off, as March rolls in. You probably are exhausted, like an athlete is, a few meters before the finish line. Keep plugging along, don’t give up now, your finish line is in front of you, March 7-24 to May 16-17, 2023, depending on your chart!

Astro Tip for the Fixed zodiac family (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, or people with points to your charts here); the North Node (Karmic evolution) at 04-05 degrees Taurus and 04-05 degrees Scorpio. Saturn is at an uncomfortable angle but in direct motion and is here to reward, or not. Collect good Karma, understand that limits can be a blessing in disguise: remember how you were treated in the past and don’t fall for the same act again (nebulous Neptune is retrograde). Do not be dictatorial, especially if you are a political leader with your Sun/Ascendant or points on Leo/Scorpio primarily.
