The Full Moon at 16 degrees of Virgo arrives on March, prompting us to find that elusive balance between practical tasks and our emotional, spiritual life. It is a cerebral moon that over-analyzes problem solves and offers ways to make our lives more efficient. It is about simplicity and paring down where we want to streamline our life. Virgo loves to organize everything into categories, yet with Pisces in the mix, we need some intuitive and creative inspiration. Listen to music for inspiration, as it may guide you straight where you need to go with some subliminal messaging. Clarity may be elusive, but if you drop into your intuition for the answers and not your rational mind, you may find it. Mars squares this lunation — creating tension, irritability, and impatience. It is wise to channel this energy into a project, so organize your home, routine, or something else. This Full Moon is a bright light in the dark part of the sky — are you a light for others, or is someone an illuminating force for you?
Saturn in Pisces is an epic shift, as we have a new big boss for the next three years. This is a paradox of two opposing energies — Saturn is boundaries, strict but rewarding as a ruler, while Pisces is boundless, ready to dream up fantasy worlds with little to no doubt in their mind at all. Because Saturn is the planet of tough love, hard work, structure, and reality checks are all that can become a part of the norm. In contrast, Pisces swims in the realms of emotions, dreams, and mysticism. Pisces has little interest in rules, schedules, or keeping appointments — whereas Saturn is all about rules and structure. Pisces seeks unity and connection, but Saturn is all about setting those important boundaries. As a result, we will need a more flexible and fluid approach to life. Spiritual practice, emotional care, and creative expression will require our attention over the next three years.
Saturn's harsh reality checks can be uncomfortable when filtered through Pisces' dreamy imagination world. It's like pulling off our rose-colored glasses. But it'll also give us discipline and focus for turning those ephemeral daydreams into something lasting. It will prompt us to outgrow our escapist fantasies, fully face our feelings, and find strength in vulnerability. We must be gentle with ourselves and others as we navigate new terrain for the next three years. What long-term patterns or habits are you ready to change? Saturn teaches us to overcome obstacles, strengthen our boundaries, and grow through our struggles. Saturn in Pisces can help us move beyond the superficial to connect us with the divine and all sentient beings.
Pisces will bend fluidly and flexibly — it gets around things that other signs do not. Saturn in Pisces is about legacies that permeate and continue on and on. The Dalai Lama was born with Saturn in Pisces, exemplifying the noblest qualities of Saturn in Pisces. Pisces is the sign of sacrifice; while stepping away from the world's distractions, you will hear your calling ring out in the silence — we hope you're ready.

She brings connections that are lasting, loyal and trustworthy. Do spend time in nature, parks, or green spaces; it soothes and heals.

ARIES SEASON: MARCH 20, SUN ENTERS ARIES

MARCH 21: NEW MOON IN ARIES AT 0 DEGREE
The new moon at 0 degrees of Aries arrives on March 21, bringing exciting fresh starts and new beginnings. It is a high-energy lunation that encourages you to envision the future and imagine the goals you wish to achieve that are meaningful to you. In addition, Mercury is closely aligned with the New Moon, adding an intellectual quality, or you need information before initiating new projects. Ruled by Mars at the end of Gemini indicates that variety and the ability to get things started will ebb and flow. This lunation brings a burst of motivation, enthusiasm, and an increase in energy so that you can take on the new initiatives. Get moving and embrace the way you feel!
On March 23, Pluto enters Aquarius for the first time since the 18th century. The planet will stop at 0 degrees in Aquarius from March through June 2023 before a brief final tour of Capricorn. After this, on January 21, 2024, Pluto will station in Aquarius for two decades. These next few months will become what is the trailer for the movie, the preview, and the taste of the massive cosmic shifts to come. The God of the Underworld, Pluto, represents subconscious forces, ruling everything below the surface. Pluto is associated with wealth, power, secrets, mystery, death, and underworld journeys. The revealer of secrets, it is death and rebirth, the destroyer and transformer. Pluto’s transits reveal what must be broken up and rebuilt for the betterment of humanity.
A shift from air to water happens towards the end of the month. We had Mars in Gemini for the last seven months, an air sign — this means we were overstimulated mentally, and our nervous systems were out of whack. Now that Mars is in Cancer, the pace is slower. It is about feelings, tenderness, protectiveness, and sensitivity. Mars is about motivation, so our mood affects us more during this time. We will have fluctuating energy and motivation. When inspired, go for it; when you feel tender or sensitive, honor it. We must feel safe to make decisions with Mars in Cancer or else anxiety will rule over our daily lives.
March brings the most important transit of the year as stern Saturn enters dreamy Pisces. These two make for strange bedfellows — Saturn is strict and goes to bed early every night, while Pisces drifts away in a fantasy land and stays up late while binge-watching Netflix.

Aries, you always follow your impulses, blazing off to conquer your next quest. However, Saturn has other plans, directing you to withdraw inward and listen to your intuition and innate wisdom to guide you.

It is a time of reflection as you clear away and process self-sabotaging behaviors, habits, or people; it may be subtle or glaringly obvious. Drop into the dreamy world of Pisces, be gentle with yourself, and do not let the past define you. Cheers to letting go and moving forward in a bigger and better way than you've ever imagined.

Your ruler Saturn will enter Pisces on March 7, staying until 2026. For the past six years, Saturn has been in planets that he rules, holding a firm grip on our lives. Now, it will enter into a foreign domain, emotional, tender Pisces — this is fluid, flexible, and nonlinear. In contrast, Saturn sets boundaries, time, and structure. As a result, Saturn will soften and be less rigid; he is like the lenient parent, letting you do your thing. Your house of communication, short trips, and learning will be under Saturn's dominium for the next three years. The endless text messages, emails, and social media scrolling are under review.

You are officially set free on March 7, when Saturn will leave your sign and enter Pisces.
