March 2021 - Fair Winds

The astrology forecast for March speaks to the calm and healing energies we’ve been waiting for since 2021 began.  All those life lessons that we learned in 2020, now have the chance to be implemented.  The timing is perfect as the new astrological year begins this month and now is the time to think about resolutions and goals for the coming year. 

The month begins with Mercury now in direct orbit, the Sun in emotional Pisces, along with Venus.  Venus is exalted in Pisces, which means Pisces compliments Venus' nature so its energy is magnified. Venus in Pisces is loving, compassionate and creative.  This placement will bring an increased level of inspiration to your finances as well as your romantic life.  Those with creative gifts may feel very inspired during this period.  However, guard against having unrealistic expectations. 

Things get even more fun when Mars enters Gemini on March 3. Mars stays in Gemini the entire month, so expect to want to assert yourself in the form of fresh and exciting ideas.

For those of you who have heightened intuition or are sensitive to energy shifts, one of the most interesting astrological aspects happening this month is between March 3 to 11, both the Sun and Venus in Pisces will be squaring with the lunar nodes in Gemini/Sagittarius. When two natal planets activate the “nodes of destiny,” karmic connections get highlighted and fated events and encounters take place as the past and the future mix with the present. During this time, the Sun and Venus will also be forming conjunctions with Neptune also in Pisces, which peaks on March 10, followed by this month’s New Moon in Pisces on March 13. Artistry, intuition, and inspiration will be in the air, making this an auspicious lunation for beginning and re-working creative projects. This combination of energies is also one of the best for love, romance, and beginning a new chapter within a special relationship. 

When Mercury enters the sign of Pisces on March 15, our dreams become more vivid, our thoughts are looser, and our instincts are especially strong. Pisces thrives in a world of magic, fantasy, and idealism. While Mercury is here, our minds are more open and we can find solutions in places we’ve never even considered before.  

Then on March 20, the sun enters Aries on the Spring Equinox, and once again, we begin a brand-new astrological cycle. Venus also makes her entrance into the sign of the Ram on March 21, heralding a more passionate, bold, and spontaneous tone for both love and finances.  

We end the month with a Full Moon in Libra on March 28. Aries is about self-assertion, Libra is about compromise. With the Libra Moon, we’re especially aware of our need for relationships and all that comes with maintaining them. The Aries Sun, on the other hand, is self-assertive, leading, and personally courageous. This Full Moon urges us to strike a balance between meeting our personal needs and attending to the needs of a significant other. The Libra Moon is diplomatic, equality-focused, and fair-minded. The Aries Sun values authenticity over tact and is energized by independent efforts. The Full Moon illuminates this conflict. Relationship epiphanies occur now. We’re likely to experience revelations about our independence, need for others and partnerships.
