Your March 2024 Andscape horoscope

March comes in like a lion, but thanks to the start of eclipse season, it goes out like a lion too. Although the first planetary switch to take place this month doesn’t happen until the 9th, when brainy Mercury leaves intuitive Pisces for enthusiastic Aries, the winds of change will still be in full force as March begins.

While Mercury zooms through Aries, inspiring innovative ideas and new interests, we may jump at the chance to start a new project or goal. With an auspicious new moon in visionary Pisces occurring just a day after the planet of communication changes signs, the cosmos provides us with the creative spark we need to take a bold step forward.

One thing to keep in mind is that this mashup of planets between Pisces and Aries isn’t just about envisioning and creating what we want for ourselves, it also encourages us to find ways that we can harness our courage and empathy to guide and inspire others.

Once Aries season arrives, we’ll be just one week shy of a game-changing lunar eclipse in partnership-oriented Libra. We can expect the atmosphere to feel charged as the emergence of spring, the start of the astrological new year, and the return of the eclipse season ushers in new beginnings and some eventful twists and turns. Under the Libra eclipse, there may be dramatic shifts in relationships and alliances, on a personal level and on the global stage.

As the chaotic nature of eclipse season can often leave us feeling anxious and uncertain, Mars’ entry into Pisces encourages us to act on intuition and inspiration. If we’re wondering about our next move or how to execute a plan of action, delving within for the answers can help us get to where we want to be.

Aries

As Pisces season continues to spotlight your sector of endings and retreat, you may be reflecting on what you’ve accomplished and what you’d like to achieve. Although your birthday fast approaches, use March as an opportunity to ease yourself into the next chapter rather than rushing headfirst into it. Pisces season comes to an end on the 19th, but Mars, your ruling planet, enters dreamy Pisces just a few days afterward, lowering your energy. To make the most of March, use brainy Mercury’s visit to Aries to crystallize your ideas and map out your plans as your thinking will flow.

When the new moon in Pisces arrives, consider it your chance to rest, meditate, and make space for the new things to come. Meanwhile, Venus in Pisces will encourage you to enjoy some quiet time. With the arrival of your birthday season and a game-changing lunar eclipse in Libra shaking up your relationship zone, it will be time to let go of an old way of life and embrace something new. The only question is who will you be taking along with you for the ride.

Taurus

You might be quite busy this month, whether it’s pursuing your goals and advancing in your career, helping others and being more socially active, or all the above. However, by the time that brainy Mercury moves to Aries and into your zone of retreat and relaxation, your mind may need a rest. You may even need to do a bit of soul-searching too. As the Pisces new moon activates your zone of friendship and future plans, think long and hard about what you want to accomplish. As Venus also visits heartfelt Pisces, you may be moved to strengthen your ties to your community, or you may want to scrap a current goal to pursue something more fulfilling.

As Aries season unfolds, aim to put more thought into how you spend your time and energy. While you may enjoy being productive, you may have fallen into a deadening routine or run the risk of doing so. With a powerful full moon eclipse in Libra illuminating your zone of health and work, this can be your chance to change jobs, take charge of your wellness, or step back from one too many commitments.

---

Gemini

You may be doing your best to juggle all your responsibilities, including your career. If you’re aiming for a new job or entrepreneurship or seeking to gain more recognition in your field, the new moon in Pisces can help. As Mercury, your ruling planet, travels through Aries, visiting your social sector, you may be able to uncover opportunities or resources by way of your friends or through networking. Also, Venus in Pisces can aid you in building professional relationships and making lasting impressions, while Mars in Pisces can help you beat your competition.

If you’re feeling anxious about your career or the future, know that you can find the support and encouragement you need in your community. Tap into the power of Aries season to meet new people, reconnect with friends, or grow your online presence. Some Geminis might even be moved to help their community at this time by getting involved with activism or advocacy work. With a lunar eclipse in pleasure-seeking Libra impacting your zone of passion and creativity, doing what you love (and letting go of what you don’t) will be paramount.

---

Cancer

You may find yourself eager to branch out. Under the new moon in inspirational Pisces, you may decide to sign up for classes or workshops to expand your knowledge. With intellectual Mercury visiting Aries, activating your career sector, such classes could also help you advance in your field or industry. Additionally, there’s a possibility that you could secure an opportunity to teach, give a talk or lecture, or speak on a panel. Travel opportunities related to work or education might also arise.

Working with the power of the Pisces moon might help to unlock a renewed sense of hope for you too. Perhaps it’s time to seek spiritual guidance or pursue more meaningful experiences. As pleasure-seeking Venus and enthusiastic Mars visit Pisces, they will also be working on your behalf, helping to reinvigorate your zest for life. This newfound passion might also spill over into your professional life once the sun enters fiery Aries and reignites your ambitions. Though with a lunar eclipse in Libra shaking up your zone of home zone, perhaps relocation or an important family decision will also be a part of the plan.

---

Leo

March might be a bit wobbly for you emotionally. However, there’s a season for everything and for the first half of the month, it will be your season to go inward and self-reflect, strategize your next moves, and purge stuck emotions. Upon Mercury’s arrival to Aries, take heart in knowing that there will be some sun poking through the clouds. Mercury in Aries can help you to feel more optimistic about the future while reawakening your interest in travel and learning.

Before you take off on your next adventure or with your next idea, there may be some loose ends to tie up under the new moon in Pisces. Maybe it’s time to make a change in your life. This new moon could signal a personal rebirth, leading you to greater security and empowerment, as Venus and Mars also aid you in finding resources, boosting your self-esteem, and breaking toxic ties. When the sun reaches vibrant Aries, the winter blues should begin to dissipate. Expect the lunar eclipse in Libra to shift the way you think, or how you do business and who you do business with.

Virgo

Relationships are amplified this month. The arrival of the Pisces new moon could mark the beginning of a professional partnership or a new chapter within an existing union. As detailed Mercury travels through Aries, your zone of shared resources, it’s a good time to sort out money matters with your business partner or spouse, or work on settling a debt. You may be able to attract some money too. Charming Venus will be visiting Pisces, helping to make sure that any deals or agreements you make are a fair exchange.

Reciprocity will continue to be a theme as the sun makes its trip through assertive Aries. You may need to keep your boundaries strong (or work on strengthening them) and avoid getting into petty tit-for-tat drama with others. Since feisty Mars will be moving to Pisces, there may be conflicts or disagreements that arise that may require you to advocate for yourself or take responsibility for your feelings and actions. A tense lunar eclipse in fair-minded Libra may reveal a need for you to stop settling for less or giving until it hurts.

Libra

As multiple planets visit rejuvenating Pisces, energizing your work and wellness, you may be in hustle mode. If you’ve got too much on your plate, you may be pushed to reorganize your schedule or workload. Looking for a new job? Both Mercury in enterprising Aries and the new moon in Pisces can plug you into the right opportunity. As chatty Mercury moves through your partnership zone, opening the lines of communication, it can aid you in making contacts and connections. Mercury in Aries can also assist you in getting the support you need so you can alleviate some of the responsibility on your shoulders.

Between the new moon and an energy-zapping lunar eclipse in your sign, you may also have concerns about your health and well-being. Use the Pisces new moon along with feel-good Venus and active Mars to adopt healthier habits. If you’re dealing with a health issue that requires some extra care and attention, this month can help you get a handle on it. When Aries season arrives, the timing will be ideal for finding a doctor, holistic health practitioner or fitness trainer.

Scorpio

If you want to start dating again, find your forever person, or get a little more adventurous with your lover, a lovey-dovey new moon in Pisces will stop by to help. Seductive Venus won’t be too far behind, entering Pisces just a day after the new moon and ramping up the romantic vibes. Though with no-nonsense Saturn still in the mix, you may decide to redirect this energy toward yourself. It might be time to start prioritizing your happiness and rediscovering what turns you on. March will bring you some wonderfully juicy and creative energy to enjoy.

As busy Mercury blazes through Aries, heating up your zone of work and wellness, you might grow busier by the day. However, avoid pushing yourself too hard and neglecting your well-being. The lunar eclipse in Libra may leave you depleted as it zaps your zone of retreat and rest. Making time for self-care and pleasure will benefit your health, especially once active Mars moves to Pisces and Aries season begins. Also, allowing yourself to let go of anything that brings you more pain than joy will also be key.

---

Sagittarius

With your home and family life taking center stage until mid-month, you’re encouraged to put what you can on hold and check in with your family as well as with yourself. As the last few weeks of winter wrap up, staying in, staying cozy, and puttering around the house might be more enjoyable than being out and about or on the go. The new moon in Pisces is an auspicious time to begin looking for a new residence or getting a jump on your spring cleaning. Venus in Pisces will be stopping by for a visit, which can help you cultivate more peace and beauty in your home, like starting a garden.

When mental Mercury gets to enthusiastic Aries and enters your sector of love and creativity, you might be moved to take classes for fun, begin a do-it-yourself project, or learn how to make something by hand. Overall, Aries season can be a wonderful time to invite levity into your life. As an intense lunar eclipse in Libra shakes up your friendship sector, it may be necessary to step away from the crowd and focus more on yourself.

Capricorn

Expect this month to feel like a whirlwind with a flurry of people, projects, and appointments keeping you busy. If you have been thinking about building a new website, starting a newsletter or blog, or developing a workshop, product, or marketing plan, the new moon in creative Pisces can help you to reach your goal. Venus’ stay in Pisces can also support you creatively, besides helping you meet and connect with folks who may have an interest in what you do.

However, as quickly as this month might be moving, there’s no need to rush yourself to the finish line. With brainy Mercury visiting innovative Aries in your home and family zone, you may need to slow down and focus on your private life. When the sun reaches Aries by mid-month, you could be spending more time at home or fixing it up, visiting relatives or caring for a loved one, or ironing out a housing issue. Things get a bit gnarly around the lunar eclipse in Libra, which may create or exacerbate tension within a professional relationship or with a sibling. Avoid petty squabbles.

---

Aquarius

Money is probably big on your mind. Maybe you’ve been struggling financially or looking for ways to increase your capital. This month presents you with an opportunity to improve your situation. Harness the new moon in Pisces to find a new job, raise your fees, secure a raise, or start or grow your business. Mercury will be in enterprising Aries for most of this month and in your zone of communication, assisting you with marketing and self-promotion, talks and negotiations, sharpening your skills, and idea development. Similarly, Venus in Pisces will aid you in attracting resources while Mars will help you to find the courage to pursue or ask for what you want.

When Aries season arrives, your schedule may get increasingly hectic. Take care not to spread yourself thin and beware of mental exhaustion. The lunar eclipse in balance-seeking Libra could end up taking a few projects off your hands, especially if they’re preventing you from growing or expanding or they no longer align with your values. Aim to be choosier about who and what gets your time and attention. Think in terms of quality over quantity.

Pisces

Although having serious Saturn currently stuck in your sign might have you feeling more cursed than blessed right now, know that there are positive planetary shifts that are happening in March that may change your perspective for the better. Think of the new moon in Pisces as a love letter to you from the universe. If you’ve been craving a fresh start or a push forward, this new moon can help you shake off any stagnation or self-doubt. With attractive Venus and confident Mars on your side, you can manifest your desires with the power of self-affirmation.

Be clear about what you want though, as sending mixed or muddled messages to the universe can lead to frustration. Luckily, you will have Mercury in self-assured Aries in your zone of money and values, helping you to get specific. By the time Aries season arrives, you might be moved to go after a dream opportunity or create a life you’ve always wanted but never thought you deserved or could have. A soul-stirring lunar eclipse in Libra will push you to confront your fears and insecurities so you can reclaim your personal power.
