Aries: This week, when the Sun sextiles Jupiter on the 1st of March, it’s a good time to reach for your goals and to make your own opportunities. It is not a day to be passive. On the 3rd, beware of a potential to lash out or overshare. There can be a struggle to communicate what you are truly feeling. Overall, this week continues to be about learning and connecting. 

Taurus: On March 1, when your ruling planet, Venus, in Aquarius sextiles Chiron, the asteroid of strength through vulnerability, you can expect a therapy session of some kind around your love life and your approach to relationships. You may be unboxing how your self esteem plays into your idea of romance or how you try to soothe wounds of the past with spending or materialism. It can be tough, yet eye opening and can help to free you from toxic cycles. Your mind is very powerful. This week, you generally feel focused, busy and deep in reflection. Your emotions run deep but mellow. 

Gemini: This week, your ruling planet Mercury opposes Lillith on the 3rd in a transit, which creates tension in communication. There is a potential that your words come off more harshly than intended, so be sensitive in your choice of what to say or keep to yourself. That aside, as we move into March, you continue to feel very business minded and goal oriented. This is a time to refine how you communicate. In love and relationships, you should continue to step out of your comfort zone and keep an open mind. 

Cancer: After a burst of full moon energy and an enterprising Virgo vibe, you are waning much like the moon. Not to say that you are losing power but more that you are taking a much-needed break that is part of a regenerative cycle. On March 1, the sun sextiles Jupiter, the planet of good fortune. During this 24-hour period, you can enjoy a boost of optimism and inspiration, carrying it with you through the new month.

Leo: Your ruling sun sextiles Jupiter, the planet of luck, as we enter the first day of March. This transit creates a boost of optimism and positive energy. It is an ideal day to make your own opportunities and not to wait passively for the things you want to just drift your way by chance. On the 3rd, the planet of communication meets in friction with the complex aspect of Lillith. Be careful not to come across callously, this transit can cause one to speak harshly. A Venus Chiron aspect can cause you to reflect on ways in which hurts from the past create difficulty in current relationships.  

Virgo: As we move into March, you continue to reap the powerful energy from last week’s full moon in your sign. You have momentum to explore your emotions and increase your self awareness and attunement. A positive Solar aspect with Jupiter, the planet of luck, on the 1st is a reminder to make your own opportunities and take initiative to create the things you want to see in the world. As Venus and the asteroid Chiron form a sextile on the same day, you find yourself reflecting on how feelings of unaddressed heartbreak or low self worth have been holding you back.

Libra: On March 1, your ruling planet, Venus, sextiles the asteroid of strength through vulnerability known as Chiron. This transit can point out some unhealthy coping mechanisms that may need to be explored and replaced with more beneficial skills. Art and music can be a great way of tapping into your feelings during this time. Early March continues some of February’s themes of hard work, self improvement and attention to details. 

Scorpio: As we head into March, the sun creates a positive aspect with Jupiter — the planet of luck — on the 1st, where it reminds you to do some self promotion and to have faith in yourself. There is a boost of optimism and a sense that you can create your own opportunities. When Mercury opposes Lilith on the 3rd, you can be tempted to be contrarian and stir up controversy, for better or for worse. This will be an interesting week.

Sagittarius: We ring in March on an exciting note when the sun forms a positive aspect with your ruling planet, Jupiter, on the 1st. Your self esteem gets a boost and you feel ready to do some self promotion and to seize new opportunities that come your way this week. This week can also be a time of self reflection and you might use your newly gained insights to smooth out some misunderstandings in your relationships.The moon in your sign on the 2nd inspires quiet creative time. 

Capricorn: We begin March with a solar Jupiter sextile, which brings a boost of optimism and good luck on the 1st. This energy can help you to be more of a self starter and to actively seek out the kinds of opportunities that you want. The waning moon in your sign on the 4th brings up a need to surrender, rest and recharge in an emotional sense. A Venus Chiron aspect on the 1st brings up how your self esteem might be negatively impacting your love life. 

Aquarius: Early March tends to be a practical time where you focus your energy on creating stability in your life. A solar Jupiter sextile on the 1st creates a boost of good luck and optimism. It can be a good day to take action and be direct about what you want. On the 3rd, a tense Mercury-Lillith transit can create potential to speak too harshly or to have things come out wrong. Be sure to speak with care and sensitivity. The waning moon in your sign on the 7th reminds you to take a break and recharge your social battery. 

Pisces: March continues the energy of late February, where you are inspired to express yourself, make improvements and just generally enjoy things. A positive solar and Jupiter aspect on the 1st creates a 24-hour period of good fortune and good vibes. It can be a good time to self promote, seize new opportunities or to shake off any remaining bits of self doubt. This week, you might be doing some deep reflection about your love life and relationships. You are feeling pensive and reserved about romance.
