March's Cosmic Forecast: Our Divine Re-Emergence
The winter cold is melting away with the beginning of warmer weather, and our world is re-emerging from its slumber. In most western cultures, we celebrate the new year at the beginning of January. But astrologically, the true new year begins in March, coinciding with the Spring Equinox and Aries season! This month is the start of the Western astrological wheel, as we move into a new 12-month cycle. March will activate passion and fiery determination to our intentions and ideas. With this astrological new year, we will begin to take action on projects we have been planning since the beginning of January. March is asking us energetically to reflect on the lessons of 2020 and begin to apply them moving forward! We can feel more playful during this time, as our inner child will want to indulge in more pleasure. The need to socialize will be persistent, and we can feel called to come out of our hermit shell in order to connect with others and the world around us.
March is co-ruled by dreamy, intuitive Pisces and fiery war lord Aries. Pisces rules the subconscious, our dream state, the connection to our Higher Self and our spirituality. They are mutable, flexible to change, and understand that beauty can be found everywhere and in everyone. The New Moon in Pisces on March 13 will ask you to reflect on your previous year and what you have learned on an emotional and spiritual level. Focus your New Moon in Pisces intentions on how you would like to apply these lessons moving forward. In what ways are you different from who you were 12 months ago? How did you grow and how did your spirituality deepen? What still needs to be healed within you? These are all important questions to reflect on with this New Moon transit.
Shortly after this New Moon, on March 15, our communication planet Mercury will also enter Pisces. We will feel compelled to communicate our dreams outwardly to our community. Our intuitive downloads will be extremely heightened! Spirit messages will be at every corner and show up for us in all forms of communication, from conversations to social media posts. Take heed during a Pisces Mercury transit! Pisces rules fantasies and illusions, some of the information we will be receiving will not always be what it seems. Seek out the deeper meaning and intention behind others’ words. We will feel less in a fog when Mercury moves out of Pisces later in the month!
On March 20, on the eve of the Aries Sun season, comes the Spring Equinox! We are welcoming the warmer temperatures, the birthing of the new, and the beauty and abundance that surrounds us. Our spirits are being reborn and coming alive once again! There is a restoring of inner balance that is created for all with the spring season. The deep self-reflective work that was asked of us during winter will now be implemented as we head into the seasons of light. With the combination of fiery Aries and this seasonal new year, ask yourself what truly inspires you? Then follow those inner desires and passions unapologetically! The Spring Equinox reminds us that there is always an opportunity to create inner harmony within ourselves. This occurs through the balance of our inner light and our darkness!
We will have two celestial bodies in Aries beginning March 21. Our Sun, the ruler of our identity and ego, and Venus, our planet of love and relationships, will be in this fiery cardinal sign. The energy will move us from our fantasy realm into fire-oriented action! At its divine point, Aries is self-advocacy, our inner warrior and protector, and our general. Using the lessons of the past year and the culmination of Pisces season, how can you show up better for yourself and within relationships? Many of us suppress our feelings, such as anger, to keep the peace in our relationships. Aries teaches us that our anger is there as a form of protection and to get our needs met! We can transmute our inner fire to be constructive, versus a destructive blow out later down the line. Use the cardinal fire energy to inspire you! Get physical, advocate for yourself and your ideas in spaces and relationships where you have been disempowered.
The Full Moon occurs on March 28, in diplomatic and harmonizing Libra. The Aries/Libra axis embodies the balance of our own needs vs. the needs of others. If you want to improve relationships and partnerships, the Libra Full Moon energy can help you shed bad habits, patterns and unhealthy connections. Reflect on where there is an imbalance of give and take, tangibly and energetically, in your life. This Libra Full Moon is the reminder that we cannot give from an empty cup and to rely on our communities and connections for divine support. You can see clearly with this transit who is important to you for your growth and which relationships need to come to a close to help make space for the new!
Treat the month of March as an energetic new chapter for yourself. As you arise from your winter solace, challenge how you show up in the world around you. Where do you want to grow and take the reins in your life? Prioritize your dreams and commit to your passion projects fully. They deserve all your determination just as much as you give it to others! The dreams and passions you have are important, and your individuality is a blessing. This month is a reminder that you are your own best champion!
