Hold onto your hats. March is going to be one of those months. Anytime you have a month with an eclipse in it you know that there will be a shift in the wind. On top of that we have the LAST Uranus/Pluto square on March 16. Let’s all take a moment and let that sink in.

Guys . . .

It’s the last one.

This month’s final square is the culmination of a journey that took us through some of the most difficult astrology that we’ll ever face. Each square — there have been six since June 2012 — shook up our lives until they were unrecognizable. And it’s safe to say that you’ve had to reinvent yourself more times than you care to admit over the last few years. Now, the worst of the storm will pass this month.

Although tempting, don’t start celebrating yet. We still have to get past the finish life. Further, there’s a lot going on astrologically this month as Venus and Mars tangle with the Uranus/Pluto square, Saturn turns retrograde, and a solar eclipse at 29 Pisces. Take a tip from the Pisces Sun — make sure you schedule some alone time to reflect, meditate, and check in with your inner guidance.

Don’t forget to co-create with this energy as well!

Aries

You’ve been in the hot seat the past few years. How could you not with Uranus and Pluto clashing through some of the more sensitive parts of your chart? That said, last month was all about taking a break from the action, conserving your energy, and resting. It’s been a long fight after all. The pause may have been frustrating at times, but you really needed the downtime. Now it’s March and your ruling planet, Mars, has moved into Aries and what a difference a month makes! You are revitalized and ready for action. And here’s the thing — Mars doesn’t visit Aries that often — only once every two years — so you may feel an echo back to that time or maybe you feel like yourself for the first time in a while. Having Mars in Aries this month is a much needed ally because there’s a lot of cosmic gear shifting. First, Mars will join up with the Uranus/Pluto square on March 11. This is high stress astrology, the kind that challenges you to make tough yet necessary changes. I know much has changed, but think of this like one last push in a labor that has dragged on since 2012. You are transforming, Aries. Everything has led up to this month. Where are you headed next? Who will you become? The solar eclipse on March 20 will be a rebirth in time for your birthday. Book your consultation to learn more about how March will unfold for you.

Key Themes: Action, rebirth, reinvention, ingenuity, career, direction, status, reputation, travel, publishing, faith, beliefs, education, spirituality.

__________

Taurus

Taurus, in many ways March will be the end of the road for you. You’re nearly done with one cycle around the Sun and with Venus pulling you behind the scenes the first half of March, you will start the month off in a quiet, contemplative mood. Like the end of a season, there’s the sense of having come full circle. So, what have you learned? What do you need to let go of? What are your hopes and wishes for the future? As you retreat and think about your next steps you may feel low on energy as well. Make sure you rest, meditate, and connect to that quiet space within. Take care that you’re grounded this month because the first week of March may push your buttons. In addition, your dreams may also be unusually vivid. It’s as though the cosmos has been trying to get a message through and often dreams are the easiest way. With that in mind, keep a journal close by so you can write them down. This time will also touch on religion, belief, and spirituality as well. By March 17, Venus will arrive in Taurus and you’ll be back in the swing of things. Keep an eye on relationships this month, too. They will need your attention around the middle of March when Mars, your relationship planet, tangles with the Uranus/Pluto square. Something will have to give and it may be time for a powerful change. Book your consultation to learn more about how March will unfold for you.

Key Themes: Retreat, rest, recuperation, withdraw, spirituality, dreams, inspiration, beliefs, philosophy, religion, endings, knowledge, education, rebirth, transformation.

__________

Gemini

With the majority of the planets near the highest reaches of your chart, this is the time of the year when you are naturally stepping out into the world. Pisces, for instance, is your career sign and for much of March the spotlight will be on status, success, and the direction your life is headed. Think professional recognition and taking those next steps in your career! But with Mercury still a bit sluggish after its retrograde last month, it’s been a little slow going. Take note that Mercury will finally leave Aquarius for Pisces on March 12 and push you out on to the world stage. This will be a month to really make a name for yourself; you certainly will have everyone’s attention. And with Saturn holding you to his high standards, don’t forget to work hard this month. Another area that will heat up is community, friendships, and your goals for the future. March will be a bit of a volatile month for everyone and Mars and Uranus in particular will provoke you to stay true to yourself and your ideals even when others may question its merit. If you need to be weird, Gemini, be weird. If you have a vision for the future that others think is crazy, don’t doubt yourself. This will also be a good month to seek out your tribe, specifically the people that will inspire you to make a change in your life. Keep in mind that the solar eclipse on March 20 will kick off a two year period where you will be shift gears in your career. Book your consultation to learn more about how March will unfold for you.

Key Themes: Career, status, success, debut, community, friendships, the future, hopes and dreams, commitment, responsibility, relationships.

__________

Cancer

As one of the more intuitive and sensitive signs of the zodiac, you’ve felt the storm brewing. How could you not; you are an antenna for the collective and your emotions have been kicking up more than usual. So, what’s on the horizon? March will bring a series of major astrological alignments, the variety of which you’ve been dealing with off and on over the last few years. One will be the last square between the planets Uranus and Pluto, a force that has rolled through your life since 2012 and seismically altered the landscape. The first thing to keep on your radar is career. Ever since Uranus came to the highest reaches of your chart in 2011, the direction of your life has drastically changed. With that it mind, the second and third weeks of March may be a time when you are making that last major push to change careers or reinvent your place in the world. Uranus demands authenticity. Pluto demands you start from a clean slate. If taking the next step gives you anxiety, get out a pen and paper. Sketch out what your new career or direction looks like. If you don’t know where to start, what would your career look like if money and time were not a factor? Be bold, Cancer. The cosmos is giving you a major nudge this month and you likely will not be able to put off needed changes much longer. Having said that, the other thing to keep on your radar is home. You may have a decision to make about where you live in the beginning of April. Book your consultation to learn more about how March will unfold for you.

Key Themes: Career, status, reputation, title, ambition, rebirth, awakening, new beginning, direction, relationships, power, family.

__________

Leo

What do you believe in, Leo? Has your faith been shaken the past few years? Or have you had an awakening? Maybe you changed religions or spiritual paths? With the planet Uranus playing a role, your perspective on life has likely changed over the past few years. So, as you step into March, faith and belief will be a key theme as will education and communication. This may be the month when you publish your groundbreaking ideas or set off on an adventure that will radically change your view of the world. Here’s the thing to keep in mind: Ever since Saturn arrived in Sagittarius back in December, there’s been a major focus creativity and identity. What do you have to share with the world? What is your talent? March will urge you to get your name out to the widest audience. Don’t be shy, Leo. (Not that you ever were.) The other area that will be a focus this month is home and family. When Mars navigates the choppy waters of the Uranus/Pluto square during the second week of March, you may feel pushed to make a change in where you live. This could be a move or something as simple as rearranging the furniture. Regardless, there’s may be an urgency to make changes, something that will help you break from the past. If it’s not home, then it may be emotions bubbling up from deep within. If childhood was less than pleasant, how do you finally release yourself from the grip of memories? Use the final Uranus/Pluto square on March 16 to do a final purge. Book your consultation to learn more about how March will unfold for you.

Key Themes: Faith, belief, philosophy, wisdom, creativity, identity, talents, self expression, career, status, direction.

__________

Virgo

This year will be a turning point for you, Virgo. Not that you were ever one to shy away from responsibility, but the arrival of Saturn at the bottom of your chart has been telling you that it’s time to start building a stronger foundation. In many ways this work will start in the home. Have you been thinking of a move? Making a change in where you live? Maybe strengthening your ties with your family? If you are building a new foundation, then March 14 may bring a milestone in this initiative. If anything, you need a new foundation because you’ve been making many changes, many of which have been taking place behind the scenes. The new you needs a new place to build upon. The other area of focus this month will be relationships. This is the time of the year when you naturally reach out to make connections to others or strengthen your existing partnerships. In fact, when Mercury arrives in Pisces on March 12, you’ll finally feel like you’re moving forward after spending the last two months slogging through work and projects as well as dealing with health and nutrition. Finally, this month will bring the last square between Uranus and Pluto, a titanic clash of energy that has rocked the world since 2012. Although you have not experienced its effects like some of the other signs, you haven’t been immune to change. Again, start laying that new foundation, like clearing the rubble and building stronger than ever. Book your consultation to learn more about how March will unfold for you.

Key Themes: Home, family, where you live, responsibility, commitment, relationships, partnerships, transformation, rebirth, intimacy, power, finance, security, resources, wealth, legacies.

__________

Libra

One more push, Libra. You’re almost there. The final square between Uranus and Pluto will arrive on March 16, the last in a series that began in June 2012. So much has changed since then; you’ve changed as well. And there were times when you weren’t sure if you’d make it, but here you are. The first two weeks of March have all the makings of high stress astrology. With that in mind, make sure you have a solid regimen of self care in place. If you need time alone, spend time alone. If you need to book a massage or talk to a therapist, get it on the calendar ASAP. Uranus and Pluto will bring a lot of emotional material to the forefront, so don’t be surprised if you’re sifting through memories and healing from the past. If the energy feels overwhelming, keep in mind that Uranus and Pluto are not out to punish, but rather push you to make a huge leap in your evolution, leaving the old, outworn, and broken behind. You got this, Libra. You’re practically a champ by now. The gift in this is that if you’ve needed the confidence to do something completely different with your life, March is your month. So, what do you need to change? Make a list and be brave. After all, your ruling planet, Venus is in warrior Aries for the first half of the month, giving you a fighting spirit. Then, after March 17, Venus will settle into Taurus for the rest of the month, turning your attention toward financial security, power, intimacy, and transformation. You can do this! Book your consultation to learn more about how March will unfold for you.

Key Themes: Transformation, relationships, awakening, home, family, roots, emotions, connections, the past, memories, legacies, security, money, finance, power, intimacy, secrets.

__________

Scorpio

For many people the past couple of years have not been easy. Uranus and Pluto rolled through with the force of a tidal wave. That said, Mars, your ruling planet, will join Uranus and Pluto on March 11 and you will have an opportunity to use this potent energy to transform in profound ways. Did I just say opportunity? Why yes, I did. You’re a Scorpio! You live for these jumping into the fire moments. How else will you know you’re alive? So, take a deep breath. And with the final Uranus/Pluto square arriving on March 16, this is a big month for you to make a big leap forward, but it may mean leaving something behind. With Uranus in the part of your chart governing health and wellness, this will be the perfect month to make a radical change in how you eat or how you take care of yourself — even how you handle the details of daily life. Pluto’s long term stay in Capricorn will mean that you will be busting through old communication blocks this month as well. On March 17 Venus will move into Taurus, turning part of the narrative toward relationships. You’re moving into a part of the year when you naturally start to seek out others after hibernating or staying close to home. In fact, the second half of this month will be one of the more opportune times this year to meet someone new or make a new connection. Book your consultation to learn more about how March will unfold for you.

Key Themes: Breakthrough, transformation, diet, health, schedule, projects, communication, learning, writing, speaking, relationships, creativity, self expression, identity, career, status, achievement.

__________

Sagittarius

This will be a big year for you, Sagittarius. Why? Because Saturn will be paying a long term visit to your sign and, over the next couple of years, you’ll be rising up to his high standards. Yes, it’s pressure and work, but you can handle it. (Just call on your patented faith and optimism.) When Saturn turns retrograde on March 14, you may feel his scrutiny more than ever. But all Saturn is trying to instill is a rock solid sense of commitment, determination, and responsibility. Keep that in mind as you ride through some of the more chaotic energies of this month. March 16 will bring the final square between Uranus and Pluto, the last of seven clashes between the planets of revolution and non-negotiable transformation. It’s been a long journey for everyone and you’ve had to make radical changes in how you express yourself and your talents, but you’re coming to one of the times in your life when you’re at your most visible. So, of course, show off your talents to the world. Show them all then positive changes you’ve made. Your ruling planet, Jupiter, has been in regal and dramatic Leo since last August. Then, come next August, it will reach the highest point of your chart and turn the spotlight on career and achievement. Good thing you have Saturn keeping you focused on what’s important. Book your consultation to learn more about how March will unfold for you.

Key Themes: Direction, responsibility, commitment, getting older, self expression, identity, talent, publishing, broadcasting, travel, faith, religion, belief, philosophy, money, income, stability, material security.

Capricorn

If you’ve wondered why so much has changed the past few years — change being an understatement — look no further than the planets Uranus and Pluto. In astrology Uranus is the planet of revolution and it’s been camped out in the bottom of your chart since 2011, bringing sweeping changes to home and family. Pluto, the planet of non-negotiable transformation, has swept through Capricorn since 2008, clearing a path in its wake. As you come up to the last clash between these two planets on March 16, feeling the energy rise around you, know that this is your final push. You can do this, Capricorn. You’re birthing a new life! If you’ve felt powerless during this long stretch of upheaval, remember that you can co-create with this energy. If this time is about change and new experiences that are quite different than before, what do you want to use this energy for? What do you want to birth into your life? Where do you want a breakthrough? No doubt you have the power to create something amazing amongst the rubble. That said, Mars will be winding its way through Aries this month and you may feel a push to make a change in the home — this could be a move, remodeling, or reinventing the space you live in. Your career or direction in life may need a reinvention as well as Venus passes through Uranus and Pluto on March 4. Again, what is your new vision for your place in the world? Time to start climbing a new mountain, Capricorn. Book your consultation to learn more about how March will unfold for you.

Key Themes: Rebirth, transformation, reinvention, clearing, release, home, family, emotions, memories, connections, career, reputation, status, title, direction.

__________

Aquarius

Where do you belong? Who are your friends? Your community? What are your hopes for the future? With Saturn slowing down and changing direction on March 14, you may be seeking the answers to these questions more than ever this month. Saturn is your ruling planet and he has you on a quest for much of this year and into the next. While it may take a while to find the answers, March will be your first chance to sit down with Saturn and do a review. Maybe you’ve discovered that the people you thought were good friends are not so much. Regardless, this is an area of your life you’ll be strengthening. So, join a group this month. Network. Find your tribe. Saturn will be pleased if you do. Another area of focus this month will be career. With Mars passing through the heavy hitting energies of Uranus and Pluto, change is on the agenda, especially in the days around March 11. At the heart of Uranus and Pluto is a push for you to do career in a way that is authentic. If you’ve been working in an industry that your heart is just not in, this may be the month that you feel pushed in a new direction. You may even have an epiphany that will open you up to new possibilities. Don’t be afraid to be innovative. Then again, you’re an Aquarius, the sign that is naturally the genius. If you have an oddball idea, don’t hold back. Get it out there! Book your consultation to learn more about how March will unfold for you.

Key Themes: Community, networking, tribe, connection, friendships, schooling, classes, learning, communication, travel, writing, speaking, the unconscious, dreams.

__________

Pisces

Ever since Saturn arrived in the highest reaches of your chart last December, you’ve entered a major chapter in your life that will center on career, success, and making a name for yourself in the world. But in many ways the first few months of 2015 will merely be a preview of things to come. Once Saturn starts to pull back on March 14, you won’t return to this space until later this year. So take a look around. Make note of decisions and commitments you’ve made in the last two months. It may be November before they fully unfold. Another area of focus this month will be income and financial security. You may feel extra motivated, especially with Mars in Aries, to come up with new sources of income or innovative ways to make money. In short, Uranus — and Pluto as well — are trying to get you to make a break with the past, to reinvent yourself, and to break free of any old limitations. Thankfully this process will be a little easier with your ruling planet, Jupiter, harmonizing with Uranus this month. Keep an eye on the March 20 solar eclipse, You’re coming into a time of new beginnings. In 2015 and 2016 the eclipses will fall across Pisces and Virgo, the later of which is your relationship sign. If you are single or dating, the next two years may bring a major relationship milestone and Saturn already has you thinking of commitment. If you are in a partnership, what does the next big step look like? Book your consultation to learn more about how March will unfold for you.

Key Themes: Money, income, finance, material security, resources, innovation, transformation, friendships, tribe, community, the future, career, status, success, achievement, milestones, turning points.
