March 2024 marks the beginning of the eclipse season with a Lunar Eclipse in Libra.
The eclipse season is when things ‘happen’ – this is when the Universe sets the stage for interesting developments and unpredictable twists and turns. All, with the goal of helping us align with our path and purpose in life.
Never, ever fear the Eclipses. Life sometimes unfolds in mysterious ways, but it all makes sense in the grand scheme of things.
In March, the energy shifts from Aquarius to Pisces. We are still recovering from a tense Aquarius season. Not only did we have the first Aquarius season with Pluto in the sign, but the Aquarius planets applied quite a few tense squares to Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus.
While at the beginning of the month we are still dealing with some squares in Aquarius/Taurus, the rest of March has a totally different vibe. Things feel less dramatic; we feel less stuck, and ready to move on.
On March 20th, 2024 the Sun enters Aries, marking the beginning of a new astrological year. Just like people have birthdays, the Earth has a birthday too. This is a time to press the ‘reset’ button at a collective level, and embrace the fresh energy of new beginnings.
Another highlight of March is the applying Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus. At the beginning of March, Jupiter and Uranus are 8° apart, and by the end of the month, they draw closer, only 3° apart.
The anticipation is getting exciting! Pay attention to the themes that emerge during this time – they will culminate later in April.
March 3rd, 2024 – Venus Square Uranus
On March 3rd, 2024 Venus (at 19° Aquarius) is square Uranus (at 19° Taurus). This is a rebellious aspect that could bring disruptions in areas of our lives where we normally don’t like disruptions, such as relationships or finances.
However, since Venus and Uranus are in mutual reception, they support each other, looking for creative ways to make things work.
The Venus-Uranus square can inspire us to explore unconventional relationship dynamics, or experiment with new ways of managing our finances. A square doesn’t have to be disruptive, if we reframe it as an invitation to do things differently.
March 8th, 2024 – Mercury Conjunct Neptune
On March 8th, 2024, Mercury is conjunct Neptune at 27° Pisces. If you’re into astrology and the healing arts, you probably hear it all the time “pay attention to our dreams”.
Mercury conjunct Neptune in Pisces is THE “pay attention to your dreams” transit, so even if you’ve heard it one thousand times before, you really want to pay attention to your dreams now.
Mercury is our personal ‘translator’, and Neptune is our unconscious, so when Mercury is conjunct Neptune – especially in Neptune’s home sign, Pisces – we have a unique opportunity to access our unconscious and make sense of some important messages that we may overlook, or find confusing otherwise.
And if you don’t remember your dreams (many people don’t) then pay attention to your daydreams. Where does your mind wander when you have some alone time, you’re in the shower, or when you’re surrounded by water?
March 9th, 2024 – Mars Square Uranus
On March 9th, 2024 Mars (at 19° Aquarius) is square Uranus (at 19° Taurus). Mars-Uranus squares are known to be impulsive and even reckless. They often start with a sense of tingling or restlessness, compelling us to ‘do something’ – anything – because we simply can’t stay still.
If we’re not aware of the deeper drivers behind these impulses, they can escalate into an urge to turn our lives upside down and break free from any real or perceived limitation.
As with all transits – especially tense transits – awareness is key. It’s not always the world that needs to change to fit our ideals of freedom – but ourselves.
March 10th, 2024 – New Moon In Pisces
On March 10th, 2024 we have a New Moon at 20° Pisces. The New Moon is conjunct Neptune and sextile Uranus in Taurus. This is an auspicious New Moon, filled with the potential for serendipities and unexpected opportunities.
Thanks to Neptune, our intuition is heightened, while the sextile to Uranus brings innovative ideas and the courage to embrace change. At the New Moon in Pisces, anything is possible, if we open ourselves up and trust in the flow of life.
March 10th, 2024 – Mercury Enters Aries
On March 10th, 2024, Mercury enters Aries.
Aries is the “a little less conversation, a little more action” sign. With Mercury in Aries, our communication becomes more direct, assertive, and focused on taking immediate action rather than dwelling on details or overthinking.
That being said, this is not your typical Mercury in Aries transit. Mercury will spend a long time in Aries due to its upcoming retrogradation in April. This means Mercury will spend an unusual amount of time in the proximity of Chiron and the North Node, activating opportunities to revisit and rewrite self-sabotaging patterns of thinking.
During this transit (which is active until May 7th, 2024), we can find healing by addressing old wounds and embracing new perspectives that align with our highest potential.
March 11th, 2024 – Venus Enters Pisces
On March 11th, 2024, Venus enters Pisces. Venus is exalted in Pisces, which means it feels great in this water, a compassionate sign.
Venus in Pisces is the proverbial mermaid, diving deep into the ocean of emotions and seeking union with the divine.
When Venus transits the sign of Pisces, we are encouraged to embrace compassion, empathy, and spiritual connection in our relationships … and why not, seduce a sailor with the enchanting melody of our hearts.
March 20th, 2024 – Sun Enters Aries
On March 20th, 2024, Sun enters Aries. Happy birthday to all Aries out there!
The March equinox is also the beginning of a new astrological year. This is a great time to press the ‘reset’ button and start all over again.
The Aries season is a time to “just do it” – follow our instinct and take action. If something feels right, then it probably is!
March 20th, 2024 – Mercury Conjunct Chiron
On March 20th, 2024, Mercury is conjunct Chiron at 18° Aries. This is the 1st conjunction in a series of 3. The other conjunctions happen on April 15th, 2024, at 20° Aries (with Mercury retrograde) and the 3rd on May 7th, 2024, at 21° Aries.
Mercury-Chiron transits are an opportunity to examine our wounds, and discover their hidden treasure of wisdom and growth.
With Mercury conjunct Chiron, it’s words, thoughts, and memories that will trigger our old wounds and hurts.
When Mercury is conjunct Chiron, we often recall some hurtful things someone has said to us. Parents or siblings who bullied us, teachers who undermined our self-confidence, colleagues or peers who made us feel odd or inadequate.
This transit is an opportunity to dig deeper into the root causes of our pain and reframe our understanding of ourselves and our experiences.
March 21st, 2024 – Venus Conjunct Saturn
On March 21st, 2024, Venus is conjunct Saturn at 12° Pisces.
Venus is our subjective lens – our values, preferences, likes and dislikes.
Saturn is the planet of structure and reality. Saturn makes things real, anchoring abstract concepts into tangible forms.
Pisces is an imaginative and empathetic sign that invites us to explore our subconscious and spiritual dimensions.
Venus conjuncts Saturn in Pisces is an invitation to bring our subjective perceptions into tangible reality.
This is a great transit to create not a vision board (a “vision” is more of a Jupiterian thing) but a “mood board”. A mood board is a collage of images, text, and other elements that evoke a particular mood or feeling – as opposed to a ‘vision’ which is more intellectual.
Your feelings, intuitions and innermost desires are often challenging to express in words, but can find resonance through imagery and symbolism.
March 22nd, 2024 – Mars Enters Pisces
On March 22nd, 2204 Mars enters Pisces.
Mars in Pisces is the archetypal chameleon; he’s still doing the Mars thing – he still takes action, but in a Piscean way.
This means he will act according to circumstances. It means he can easily change his mind, or adapt to the flow of events.
Is not that he’s flaky, but from the Piscean angle he has perspective – he can see how everything is connected – how the flap of the butterfly’s wings can cause a tornado.
Just like the ocean moves with the currents, allow your intuition – rather than the rational or logical narrative – guide your actions.
March 25th, 2024 – Lunar Eclipse In Libra
On March 25th, 2024 we have a Lunar Eclipse at 5° Libra. The Eclipse is trine Pluto at 1° Aquarius, giving us an opportunity to delve deep into our relational dynamics and transform them for the better.
Libra is the sign of relationships and one-on-one connections. At the Full Moon in Libra, we may have some epiphanies about our partnerships.
It takes 2 to tango, and when one partner steps on other’s foot, tensions may arise. But the important thing here is not that the dance has been disrupted, but rather what it’s trying to tell us about the dynamics at play.
Great relationships are based on the art of being present, and operating from a “We” narrative, without forgetting about the 2 “Me” that make it up.
A Lunar Eclipse is a super potent Full Moon. Some relationship dynamics may reach a culmination point, asking us to address them with Libra’s proverbial balance and fairness.
March 2024 is quite a month… but April 2024 is even more interesting. This is when we have a very powerful Solar Eclipse (conjunct Chiron) and the most anticipated Jupiter-Uranus conjunction. Until then, have a great March!
