While the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of March in your career sector, rarely with so much else happening at the time or that this is happening as you reach a major turning point. The Sun, Venus and Mercury will always return to your career sector at around this time each year and since 2012, it has been to join up with Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams. In March 2023, Saturn returned, teaming up with Neptune for only time in our lifetime, together giving you the resolve and the motivation to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes in order to turn dreams into reality. While that is the case this time as well, it is also for the last time. On 31st March, Neptune will leave and while he and Saturn, who will leave in May will retrograde back in later in the year, it will only be for a few months. Before leaving on 20th March, the Sun will connect with both and with Neptune leaving 11 days later, with all the insight needed to make this count. With Venus having already moved through your career sector and Mercury leaving on 3rd March, this should leave Neptune and Saturn back on their own. Instead, it was in the closing days of March that the dwarf planet Ceres returned for her first deep dive into your professional needs and priorities in four years while Venus will retrograde back in for a do over on 27th March and Mercury on 30th March. With Mars back in direct motion in your income sector but leaving next month, now that the brakes have come off this will give income potential something to hitch a ride on. Meanwhile, until the Sun returns to your sector of friendship, teamwork and networking on 20th March and Neptune on 31st March, this is where Venus and Mercury will be working to start forging connections. Venus, who has been here since early March will turn retrograde on 2nd March and Mercury, who will return on 3rd March, will turn retrograde 12 days later on 15th March. As well as keeping them in your friendship sector until the Sun returns on 20th March, this will see them retrograde back out and back into your career sector.
While this is not a time of year when you would normally expect any planetary activity on the romantic or relationship fronts, there are surprise developments on one front and on the other, everything you need is already banked. It is on the romantic front that you have everything you need banked and especially when it comes to both a sense of what you want from love and the boundaries needed to continue to make this a priority. This is thanks to the 18 months the South Node had spent in your romantic sector before leaving in January. It is the Moon’s monthly visits that will keep the spirit of romance alive. These will also be the most romantically charged days of any month and the timing of this month’s visit is spot on. Returning from 15th March to 17th March, while this will be an ordinary monthly visit, this will set the scene for a romantically charged weekend. Meanwhile, it is on the relationship front that there have been some surprise or unusual developments for this time of year. It was towards the end of last month that the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment and especially commitment to your relationships returned for her first visit to your relationship sector in four years. Normally here for three months, Juno will retrograde back out again next month and return later in the year. Because Juno will turn retrograde on 20th March, a month to the day after returning, she has been slowing down since she returned. This is putting her in harmony with Venus, who begins the month at a standstill in order to turn retrograde on 2nd March. This will see Venus move back towards Juno, with the two drawing closer as the month progresses, making this a stunning month for friendship and relationship building. With Venus, the planet of love not leaving until 27th March and Juno in retrograde motion by then, both will be holding the doors open to the past. Helping to capture this will be the Moon’s return to your relationship sector from 20th March to 22nd March.
By the time you move into the new month Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos has only been in direct motion in your income sector for five days, but already there should be a noticeable shift. Mars has spent two months in your income sector before leaving in early November, something that at the time saw him clash with Pluto in your financial sector. By the time Mars retrograded back into your income sector in early January Pluto was gone, but the Sun and several planets were there, with the warrior planet of the cosmos having to once again face pushback from planets on the other side of the financial fence. Because Mars had retrograded back into your income sector and he was in the final degrees of your income sector for weeks, before a planet could leave your financial sector would clash with Mars, bringing old financial tensions to a head. The last planet to leave your financial sector was Mercury, who left at the end of January. Apart from the Moon’s monthly visits, there will be no more planetary activity in your financial sector until the end of the year, taking the pressure off Mars just as his direct turn has taken the brakes off income potential. The Moon will make its first visit to your income sector since Mars turned direct from 8th March to 10th March. This is something that can sharpen your nose for money and act as a trigger while helping to jumpstart anything stalled. These will also be some of the best days of the month across the income, work and career fronts, due to the friendly aspects the Moon will make as it moves through. With no planets in your financial sector for the Moon to clash with, there should be a renewed sense of confidence as well. With no planetary activity in your financial sector, the Moon’s monthly visits have become a lot more important, with its return from 22nd March to 24th March a chance to check in on money matters.
