Both Mercury and Venus are retrograde during March and April, causing confusion and misunderstandings in relationships. However, it is also a time of renewal as we start the season of spring and enjoy all it brings. This is intensified by a lunar eclipse in Virgo on 14 March, and a solar eclipse in Aries on 29 March.
Notable Astrological Dates
14 March – lunar eclipse, 23 degrees Virgo
29 March – solar eclipse, 9 degrees Aries
Pisces
You will need to be very careful in the financial area of your life this month. Both Mercury and Venus are in retrograde in your money sector. The best way to deal with this period is to be frugal and disciplined in order to gain control of your finances.
Aries
The retrograde of Venus and Mercury is in your own sign this month, putting a focus on relationships in general and how you respond to the emotions of others. You are going to need to be very patient over the next four weeks, learning the art of compromise when dealing with other people’s insecurities. The solar eclipse in your own sign on 29 March highlights these themes.
Taurus
Your planetary ruler Venus is retrograde in your solar 12th house, which ignites the secretive part of your personality. This is amplified from 15 March, when Mercury goes retrograde in the same house as Venus. This is a month of self-care, reflecting and listening to your inner needs.
Gemini
Your planetary ruler Mercury goes backwards in the sky from 14 March, causing misunderstandings, but also a chance to review projects. This is an excellent time to sit back and allow things to play out before making any major decisions. The energy is directed internally, and therefore it’s about checking in with what feels right for you.
Cancer
The solar eclipse on 29 March lights up the career sector of your chart, helping you to forge ahead with new ambitions. This month sees you reaching out to make a real difference to your future and where you see your life going. The next four weeks are about you being honest with yourself.
Leo
There is still a real focus on the financial aspect of your life this month, as Mars once again transits your second house. This is an important month for creating change in how you earn your money and what value you put on yourself. If you get this right, life begins to move into new and exciting directions.
Virgo
There is a lunar eclipse in your own sign on 14 March, which means that certain aspects of your life will come to a conclusion over the next six months. This may feel like an internal reset, or a process of letting go of situations or people around you that you realise no longer properly serve you.
Libra
Your ruler Venus is retrograde in the partnership area of your chart. This usually indicates a period in which the emotional area of your life, in all forms, will take the prime focus for a while. It is also a period to reflect on how you respond to the needs and emotions of others. Be diplomatic, but don’t sacrifice yourself.
Scorpio
Your ruler Mars is moving forwards in your solar 9th house of adventure and travel for March. This month increases your ability to see the big picture in projects that have been slow in recent weeks. This is a period to take advantage of your energy levels that will help you accomplish a lot in a short space of time.
Sagittarius
Your ruler Jupiter is moving forwards in your 7th house, bringing new people into your life who will have a profound effect on your world. However, be careful not to give too much of your energy to those around you. It’s imperative that you conserve some time for yourself.
Capricorn
There is a lot of activity in the home sector of your chart, and this will demand a lot of your attention. You must learn the art of compromise and diplomacy to gain the trust of those close to you. If you are able to achieve this, you will be rewarded by the end of the month.
Aquarius
This is a quieter month for you, but only so you can catch up from the last six months. How you communicate with others is going to be the key to getting the best from the month ahead. However, with the planets Mercury and Venus both in retrograde in your solar 3rd house, you might need a lot of patience with others.
