There is an overlapping of the ordinary and the extraordinary this month, one that truly makes this a month of major new beginnings. Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of March in Pisces, this is always a month for new beginnings and until your birthday month ends on 21st March, this is the point in any year when you are laying down the foundations for this new solar year. While that is still the case, this moves to a whole new level when Saturn returns to Pisces on 8th March, bringing one three decade long Saturn cycle to a close while beginning the next. Just as Saturn has spent the last three years in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart as you reflected on and learnt what you could from the journey this has taken you on, you will spend the next three years laying down the foundations for the future. Saturn is here now until 2025, leaving within weeks of Neptune, who he will spend the next three years with. Neptune has been in Pisces since 2008, but it is Saturn’s resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes and the power he gives you to move mountains if you have to that will allow you to start turning dreams into reality. Jupiter only left Pisces in December, ending the foundation year of a new 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion and to now move into a new Saturn cycle and right in the heart of your birthday month makes this a chance to fully embrace the future. And if you are wondering what the future might hold, then first impressions suggest a lot to be excited about. The month not only gets off to a potentially lucrative start with Venus and Jupiter, the planets of money and luck aligned in your income sector until 2nd March, but there is more where that came from. Venus is only here until 17th March but as this is the same day that Jupiter will move into his final two months here and with Mercury returning on 19th March with the smart head for money needed to get your head in the game and the Sun on 21st March, they will continue from where she left off. Luck has been on your side since the start of the year, but it is only now that this is becoming more obvious. Meanwhile, until leaving your home and family sector on 25th March, Mars is fuelling a drive to make things happen and get things done as his longest visit in eight decades draws to a close. It is then that Mars will return for a belated visit to a playful and creative part of your chart.
This is one month where you can’t judge a book by its cover, with surprise developments on both the romantic and relationship fronts. In both cases, you will have to wait until later in the month, with the impression that there is nothing to see here persisting through the first three weeks. However, your heart’s over the horizon radar will be telling you otherwise. As you move into the new month there is no planetary activity in either your romantic or relationship sectors and hasn’t been since last year, making the Moon’s return to your romantic sector from 1st March to 4th March a valuable chance to get the month off to a romantically charged start. These romantically charged lunar vibes are only here for a few days but they will leave you with a major sense of anticipation. Something is cooking and you can sense it. It is just a few days later that the Moon will not only move through your relationship sector from 6th March to 9th March but will clash with the Sun to create a Full Moon on 8th March. This is a Full Moon that will always fall at some point during your birthday month and as your personal and relationship needs clash, this is a chance to better understand what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. This is still business as usual and par for the course at this time of year, but you are drawing closer to the changes ahead. It begins with Venus, the planet of love returning to your communication sector on 17th March to begin a mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice. While this is more indirect support for matters of the heart and your relationships her timing is perfect. It is just five days later that the dwarf planet Ceres, who had left your relationship sector in December will retrograde back in for a double dip visit on 23rd March, resuming her deep dive into your relationship needs and priorities. It is just two days later that Mars will return to your romantic sector, beginning his own two month mission to fuel your romantic passions and fighting spirit but also some of the most romantically charged months of 2023. Venus will be there to help you get the most out of both. Meanwhile, Saturn’s return to Pisces on 8th March will be personally empowering, will give Mars and his romantic passions some backbone and hold a balance between your personal and relationship needs to account.
While the dwarf planet Ceres will continue her deep dive into your financial needs and priorities until she retrogrades back out of your financial sector on 23rd March, she has never been focused on the money so isn’t threatened nor does she feel the need to compete with the growing planetary presence on the income side of the financial fence. As was the case last month when the Sun and Mercury moved into opposition, there might still be times when a balance between money coming in and money going out is put to the test. However, this will simply help in Ceres’ deep dive into your financial needs and priorities at a time when there is real income growth and expansion possible. Think of Ceres as the safeguard to ensure money coming in doesn’t flow out just as easily. For if there was one month when there could be extra money coming in this is it, with the month not only starting with both Venus and Jupiter in your income sector but with the planets of money and luck aligned here until 2nd March, for the first time in over a decade. The time that Venus spends in your income sector can be the most lucrative weeks of the year and whether Jupiter was here or not, until leaving on 17th March she will be doing her best to get things moving. As Venus will leave just as Jupiter moves into the final two weeks of his longest quest for income growth and expansion in over a decade, the timing couldn’t be better. Two days after Venus leaves, Mercury will return with the smart head for money needed to get your head in the game and to think on your feet, with the Sun returning on 21st March to turn the solar spotlight onto your income situation, matters and options as he does at this time each year, though it has been 12 years since Jupiter was last here at the time. It is a day later that the Moon will not only return on 22nd March but as the first of two New Moons here, the second four weeks later and this time as a solar eclipse. The momentum that Venus can create before leaving will be in safe hands.
