Aries
March 21–April 19
Hey, Aries, this is your March 2021 horoscope. My name is Katie Sweetman with Empowering Astrology. Let’s look at your astrology for this month. So the big news this month is the fact that Mars, your planet, changes signs. Now, wherever Mars is pointing towards sort of talks about where the main focus is at any certain point. Mars will spend about five, six weeks in one sign apart from, you know, a retrograde here and there. We had that in 2020.
But for the last five, six weeks, you’ve had Mars in Taurus since January 6. So this has been a time about material stability, material security, gathering resources, focusing on your money, your income, how you earn living. But when Mars goes into Gemini, it’s a very different story. Taurus and Gemini are very different science. If Taurus is Earth, is the physicality of life than Gemini is the mind, it’s ideas, it’s information, it’s movements.
So when Mars goes into Gemini on March 3rd, you’re going to start a new five-six week chapter of really exploring your mind, which means taking classes and learning, reading, getting, you know, kind of lost in conversations. There’s a busyness to Mars in Gemini, in fact, restlessness. So it’s quite possible that you feel like you’re a little restless for most of March going into April, you may be even on the go because Gemini is a sign of travel as much, of course, as we can do these days.
Now, this part of the chart is more about travel on a smaller scale. So whether it’s running around your neighborhood, running around your town, having to go back and forth to get things, it just might be a, like I said, a busy month, but not one where you’re going too terribly far from home. In general this is — we have to also note that the eclipses have been happening in Gemini and Sagittarius. Now, with the last time we had eclipses was the end of November, going into December.
But we have to sort of see Mars, even though it’s your planet as a trigger. And I mean this you know, it brings the eclipse story forward, even though it happened three or four months ago. We’re going to have, by the way, eclipses in Gemini in June — June 10th. I know I’m kind of getting a little bit ahead of myself, but this means that whatever story was seeded back in November, December about I travel, about education, about ideas and information, learning how you use your mind and even choices. I think it’s important to understand that Gemini is the sign of choices.
So you may be having to weigh some choices right now, especially with Mercury. It’s been a little bit with Saturn, you made serious choices, but that’s where a lot of the main focus is right now. And there’s kind of this dichotomy happening this month. You know, like I said, Mercury — not Mercury — Mars and Gemini is a very restless place for your planet. Meanwhile, for, you know, you still have a lot of planets over in Aquarius. Aquarius is a sign of friends, community networking.
So maybe, you know, this restlessness or information or ideas or connections happening with your friends, your social network, your professional network as well. We can’t forget that it’s Pisces Season and Pisces represents the end of your zodiac calendar. So your birthday is the start of your personal year. So Pisces is the sign that happens before Aries. Ergo, it’s the end of your personal year. When you get to the end of your personal year, it’s time to pull back.
It’s time to reflect. It’s time to look at everything that’s happened over the last year, the choices that you’ve made, the directions you’ve gone and what worked, what didn’t work. I realized 2020 was obviously a very extraordinary year. So just sort of measure the distance between this birthday and even the month before your birthday and your last birthday. Pisces is a very spiritual sign. So when we have the Pisces New Moon on March 13th, you’re opening up a new lunar month, which is about exploring deeper existential questions.
What does this all mean? Why am I here? What am I doing? You need to kind of go within. You need to find those answers within. Now, Pisces talks about the search for meaning, but the search for meaning is not happening in a book. It’s not happening in another country. It’s not happening in another, you know, education. It’s happening within so that — mind you, you know, as I was saying earlier, Mars and over in Gemini is so much about information, ideas, movement, restlessness, travel, but there is this sort of push and pull going on.
So maybe as you’re doing a lot of inner work this month, you’re talking about how you feel. You’re talking about what you’ve experienced over the last 12 months. You’re talking about your inner truth, where even your faith, your convictions. So do know that when we when you in particular get into Pisces Season, don’t push. Even though I said this kind of odd story that’s happening, like, you know, it is about movements, but at the same time, you can’t go too fast.
It’s still Pisces Season. So, this new moon is also a great time to sort of make a list of what you want to let go, especially as you go into it and prepare for this new year. Jupiter is over in Aquarius, so maybe you’re getting involved with spiritual groups or maybe you’re thinking about how do you create more spiritual community or nourish your friendships on a spiritual level, Jupiter. It’s kind of sort of close to Saturn in the sky there. You know, they had their conjunction back in December.
So, do keep in mind that you’re in the two-year period where you have to get really serious about the people in your life, the type of friends that you have, the type of networks and communities that you’re part of. The Saturn is a little brutal when it’s in this part of your chart. It’s sort of going through your contacts and your phone and just saying nope, nope, or on social media, you know, who are your friends?
So, this new moon might ping this sort of deeper story about who are your friends. You know, speaking of pinging deeper stories, this new moon is at 23 degrees of Pisces. It’s exactly square, as we say, astrology, the Sagittarius New Moon on December 14th of 2020. So, this new moon has some eclipse energy. Eclipse energy means that sort of one chapter is ending, another is opening. There’s some twists and turns. Things are happening quickly.
People are coming in and out of our life, just sort of giving you a heads up. Of course, when the planets start to — I think it’s just Mercury goes into Pisces on March 15th — again, it’s another time to slow down, to reflect, to give words to your intuition, maybe even your dreams. Maybe you’re keeping a dream journal. But when the Sun goes into Aries on March 20th, you start your birthday season. So happy, happy birthday, Aries.
Now, of course, when the Sun goes in the Aries, it’s the start of the astrological year. It’s the start of your personal year. It’s a time of new beginnings here in the northern hemisphere. It is the start of spring. So these green shoots coming out of the ground after our long winter. So when the sun goes into Aries, it’s going to pick up on Mars in Gemini and you’re going to want move, go, travel, explore.
There’ s going to be a lot — there’s going to be a very different energy as you go into your birthday season as opposed to the couple of weeks or a few weeks before the first few weeks of March.
The next day, Venus goes into Aries. Now, Venus is not, you know, traditionally at home and Aries, but it does give you a little boost, a little bit of charm, a little bit of, let’s say, pizzazz. Venus is this planet that normally wants to focus on diplomacy, cooperation, relationships. And, you know, this is your relationship planet. So maybe you’re entering a little bit more of a dynamic phase if you are in a relationship for the rest of this month, if you’re not in a relationship, maybe somebody is coming into your life, maybe something that’s really kind of challenging or making, you know, that Aries side get very interested and excited.
Later this month — speaking of relationships — we have a Libra full moon on March 28. This full moon puts the spotlight again on relationships, but not just romantic relationships. It’s all relationships. This part of your astrological chart talks about socialization, interaction, meaning we, you know, even though you’re an Aries, even though you’re here to teach us how to do things alone, how to lead and be courageous, the full moon and Libra is a reminder that you can’t do everything by yourself.
You have to find harmony. You have to find balance. You have to find cooperation. This full moon will put a spotlight on a relationship. It could be a romantic relationship that you are currently in or somebody coming in if you’re not in a romantic relationship or just might put a spotlight on how you interact with people. Venus is over and Aries, as I was saying earlier, but it’s also making something called a conjunction to Chiron. So, there’s something about this full moon that’s kind of touching on pain point.
Maybe you need to have more courage in relationships. Maybe you need to stand up for yourself, or maybe there’s something about how you’re interacting with somebody that’s kind of hitting … hitting like a sort of pain point. Chiron talks about the things that we have to heal. So, there’s something with this full moon that something has to be resolved and maybe it’s on a relational level. Maybe it’s just simply on how do you bring more harmony and balance into into your life?
Because if you look at the sky right now, everything’s sort of on one side of the sky. All plants sort of bunched up and about three or four signs right now. So, there’s there’s not a lot of balance. It’s sort of lopsided at the moment. So how do you create more balance in your life? And let’s not forget that Saturn is an Aquarius. It’ll be an Aquarius for the next couple of years. And at the heart of all of our astrology in 2021 is a need to bring balance back to our life, both on a personal level, on a systems level, on a network, on a humanity level.
