March kicks off the month with a New Moon in the sign of Pisces on March 2nd. Be prepared to feel quite different than you may have during the last New Moon in Aquarius. Although the Aquarian energy is kind and compassionate, there is also an emotional detachment to it. The focus was more about seeing the big picture and how you could best be used to serve humanity and society in general.
When the New Moon is in Pisces, your visions may have a dreamier quality. Your compassion and empathy are focused on others in your life. You can expect to feel sensitive and intuitive in a more spiritual way.
A New Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon are in a conjunction aspect and both in the same sign. This alignment provides the tendency for the two to mix their energies together. Because the Sun rules our outer self and the Moon rules our inner being, you will definitely feel more of this sweet and gentle nature on both levels. This is a wonderful placement for the New Moon since inspiration is also heightened with this position and can especially increase your creativity for any new seeds you want to plant at this time.
The Sun/Jupiter conjunction on March 5th continues this theme of spiritual expansion and the energetic vibe to help others which provides you with general feelings of happiness and well-being. Anything started during this time most likely will have a positive outcome in the long run.
On March 6th, the Moon then moves into the sign of Taurus. Your emotions begin to become more focused on security and the foundations in your life. This Moon will be shining a light on what you value and the emotional attachment that you have to your material possessions. This is also a relaxing type of energy where you enjoy the beauty of your home environment and experiencing life through the senses. This is a great time to enjoy the company of good friends, good food, good wine, and spending time outdoors getting in touch with your earthy side.
This day also brings the transit of Mars and Venus both entering the sign of Aquarius and in an exact conjunction with each other. Even though these signs are opposite, meaning Mars is a masculine energy and Venus a feminine energy, these two planets actually work well together and need each other to accomplish their respective goals.
When Mars and Venus are together in this way, you can expect some fireworks. The energy created is very passionate, intense, and dynamic. Your needs will be pretty straightforward, making it easier to know what you want out of a relationship and feel more satisfied. There is an adventuress aspect to this connection with plenty of room for experimentation.
On March 13th, the Sun and Neptune form a conjunction in Pisces, creating a hazy glow over your thoughts and visions. This can inspire some wonderful works of art or other creative forms of self-expression. Again, you experience an abundance of sensitive and compassionate feelings for your companions on this planet. All these thoughts and feelings can be experienced in either a positive or negative manifestation. At times, it can create a situation where you have trouble discerning reality from illusion. You may see things the way you want to through rose-colored glasses instead of through the clear light of day. Take advantage of this time of increased imagination and spiritual insights while doing your best to keep your feet on the ground.
The Full Moon in Virgo occurs on March 18th at 3:17 am. This means that the Moon/Sun polarity is on the Virgo/Pisces axis. These two signs are both very much about service to others, but in different ways. Virgo wants to be of service in very practical and grounded ways. Pisces is pulled toward selfless service in more spiritual ways. The point of this Full Moon is to find integration and balance of these areas. It’s about being down to earth and still allowing yourself to have dreams. A time to combine your inner knowing and feelings with practicality and details.
Remember, this is a time of forgiveness and gratitude. It is the high point and climax of the lunar cycle and the total illumination of being able to see everything you have been doing in preparation leading up to this point. You can use this time to ask yourself some difficult questions and create balance between finding your inner peace and your relationship in the outside world.
The area of life that this Full Moon falls in will be where your life is impacted during this Full Moon. For instance, if this Full Moon falls in your 1st house of self, it will be about evaluating yourself, your life, and seeing all the things you need to. This is the time of focusing on your own needs while considering how you can also serve the needs of others. The message is to find a balance between all your feelings and decide what you can do about anything that needs to be addressed in a practical way. Release trying to control everything and everyone.
On March 20th we welcome the Spring Equinox and Aries season. The Spring Equinox and the sign of Aries, mark the official arrival of spring, when the Sun crosses the equator, and the days and nights are equal in hours. For me, this is the best time of the year. Daylight wins out over darkness, and there is a feeling of anticipation, hope and excitement of new beginnings.
I believe we all, as a collective society, are ready to shed the heaviness of the past 3 years. We all want to greet this season and embrace the energizing warmth of the Sun. We can take advantage of the longer days and warmer weather to meet with our friends for long walks in nature, plant our garden for the summer harvest, have dinner alfresco, or plan outdoor adventures. Greet each morning with eagerness and that youthful remembrance of what each day may bring.
Aries season brings in similar energy. Aries is a cardinal fire sign. Every season begins with a cardinal sign with Aries signaling spring, Cancer is summer, Libra activates fall and Capricorn brings in winter. Aries season will do wonders for your mental health and light a fire under you to get you up and moving again. It’s the beginning of a new astrological year. A time to start again fresh. Allow this season to begin to propel you forward and take the initiative to start something new that you are passionate or enthusiastic about. Once Taurus season is upon us it will be time to take all those great ideas and new beginnings and build on them.
MARCH 2022 HOROSCOPES
Before you begin to read your horoscope for this month, I would like to point out that this is going to be a month where we all are going to be affected by the Mutable/Water element in a big way, and very differently depending on the area of life where it shows up in your chart. Not only is the New Moon in the sign of Pisces, but the Sun of course is also in this sign, as well as Jupiter (traditional ruler of Pisces) and Neptune (modern ruler of Pisces) and they are all traveling closely together in a pack. The emphasis of this sign and element will be creating a very interesting month for our emotions. If you read your horoscope from last month, notice how last month and this month’s New Moon predictions are synchronized.
ARIES – March 21 – April 19
This may be a challenging time since your personality is generally used to charging full steam ahead, fueled with a fiery zest for life. During this month, the energy will feel more “behind the scenes” rather than “front and center.” In fact, your most creative and imaginative work will most likely take place out of the public eye. This New Moon could bring to the surface something that has been lying dormant, bringing awareness of the things you haven’t been able to see before. The best use of this energy would be to find an authentic spiritual or meditation practice. Take time for solitude and allow for connection with your subconscious mind or inner self.
TAURUS – April 20 – May 20
This New Moon most likely will provide new friendships or groups that can bring about a better sense of belonging and the ability to connect with people who are on your similar wavelength. There is opportunity here for others to help you achieve your dreams and goals. However, with all this Pisces/Neptune energy, be aware that your emotions can be easily swayed by others. Remain true to yourself and be discriminating about any new friendships or new activities you become involved with. This is a great time when you can manifest and grow your following through networking, getting involved in group projects and fostering good will.
GEMINI – May 21 – June 20
Your career once again is front and center. Your emotional sensitivity is heightened regarding your professional standing and your life’s mission. You are coming to realize that your work must also be spiritually satisfying. Heightened feelings of sensitivity and intuition can bring up some feelings of disillusionment with authority in your career sector. This New Moon is bringing a new chapter into your career-related story. It is a good time to use your imagination in a new way to include long-term goals and gain recognition over something you have accomplished.
CANCER – JUNE 21 – JULY 22
Your emotions during this New Moon will be less about nurturing and more about adapting to new and changing ideas and philosophies. The New Moon is here to teach you something and offer new experiences through seeking your truth. This is a great opportunity for you to expand your mind by trying out some new perspectives on life and adapting your thoughts around more complex ideas. This Neptune/Pisces energy gives you the inner vision to create your own path and open yourself up to a higher consciousness.
LEO – July 23 – August 22
Pisces New Moon is transformative in how you deal with deeply personal issues surrounding areas of intimacy, and generally, wherever you are entwined with other people’s stuff. Your instincts and intuition will feel much stronger during this period with the ability to have clear insight into the motivations of others. This is a good time to investigate where in your life you carry the emotional and psychological baggage of other people. Consider how much power you give away in your most intimate relationships and strive for more balance.
VIRGO – August 23 – September 22
You may feel more emotionally dependent upon those you are in partnership with, putting others needs before your own and having greater expectations of your own needs being met through these relationships. Because this Pisces/Neptune energy can create unrealistic views of the people in your life, try to remain rational and logical about how you oblige others and what you expect in return from them. The New Moon can bring about a new story to this area of life where you can reexamine and work through any relationship imbalances.
LIBRA – September 23 – October 22
As the New Moon transits through your 6th house, work and health are a focal point. Because Pisces and Neptune are extremely selfless, you may find yourself focused on being of service to others. However, during this time it would be more beneficial to concentrate on your own health and daily habits. Instead, reflect upon what types of changes or new routines need to be added to improve your overall wellness and lifestyle. Incorporating stress relieving routines such as yoga or meditation will help balance your emotions and any work-related anxiety or tension.
SCORPIO – October 23 – November 21
The New Moon and this strong Pisces/Neptune/Jupiter energy is happening in your 5th house. You can expect this blend of planetary energy to bring more romance and creativity into your life. This is a great time to start a new love affair or kick the romance meter up a notch if you are already in a relationship. It is also a wonderful time to use your intuition and imagination to create something new whether it is artistic in nature, related to a new business project, or anything else that brings joy and lights up your soul. This New Moon is guiding you to bring more love and fun into your life.
SAGITTARIUS – November 22 – December 21
You may find yourself feeling more sensitive and emotional toward your family and your home base. The need for emotional security is strong, especially at the foundational level. This is a good time to bring new insight into how you can improve your family home and living dynamics. The focus will be on infusing your home with new energy and bringing in a new realization of what your family life should look like, not in an idealistic way, but one with a deeper intuitive knowing and spiritual connection.
CAPRICORN – December 22 – January 19
New thought patterns and new ways of communicating are emphasized. Because you are really grounded and practical, you usually get to the point and say what you have to say directly. This month may find you struggling for mental continuity and maintaining focus and concentration. Your imagination will also be more active, so take advantage of this watery energy and bring more emotion and creativity into your self-expression. This would be a good time to learn new skills or take a course in effective communication, writing, or anything where you can use your intellectual creativity.
AQUARIUS – January 20 – February 18
The New Moon is shining a light on your resources, finances, and your self-worth. Jupiter in conjunction with your Sun/Moon, will help you to better your financial situation, possibly through new opportunities coming your way. This placement should bring more confidence in the work you are doing and thereby increase your sense of self-worth. Try not to place too much importance on material things and use your creative imagination to find new and different ways to make money.
PISCES – February 19 – March 20
The New Moon in your 1st house represents the beginning of a new astrological year for you. This is an important time to plant the seeds you want to grow through the coming year. To decide who you want to be, how you want to present yourself, want you would like to achieve, to personally improve yourself and work on your development. Pay attention to your inner voice and intuition and follow its guidance on your path to self-discovery. Whatever is started now, should culminate or highlight something in connection with the Full Moon in your sign in September.
