This year promises so much acclaim in your career! You will see the truth of this on March 3, when Jupiter (good fortune), now in your fame and achievement sector, receives a rare aspect from Uranus, planet of surprise, in your workaday project sector. When news comes, it will arrive quickly and be completely unexpected, arriving like a lightning bolt! Expect a generous reward for all the superior performance you've put in. The harder and smarter you worked, the bigger your reward will be now.

A few days later, March 10, Mars will send glittering beams to Jupiter from your assignment house, so clearly the work you've done and work you will be assigned in March will lead you up the ladder of success. August will be another big month for career news, so keep putting the pedal to the metal so you can rack up victories before Jupiter departs to Virgo, August 11. Once good fortune Jupiter leaves your career sector on that date, he will not be back for twelve years. While you will continue to climb the ladder of success, you won't have the glittering conditions you do now - make the most of them.

Against all this, in the background, a golden triangle will appear in the heavens in March, linking your work projects (which should be quite divine now), your reputation and status (which is climbing by the minute), AND your earned income. Although employers seem to be tight fisted and unwilling to part with generous salaries, this month you seem to be persuasive enough to get your due. You can show VIPs that a lesser talent would not be able to fulfill the vast requirements of the position in the way you can do. Paying you more, in the big picture, would actually save the company money, for paying people who can't produce would be throwing money away. Even if the lower paid workers can produce, it would take an inexperienced person double the time to get the work done. This month you appear to be on top of your game and in line for the top job AND the right salary.

You may encounter only one day that may give you pause - March 15 - when Pluto, your ruler, will be in sharp odds with Uranus. A writing assignment or contract you are drafting for a client or proposed partner may not bring accord, so avoid this day and stay to yourself. Pluto's involvement suggests others will use their power and authority to get their way, and Uranus' involvement will bring an unexpected twist, but not necessarily the one you want. You'll have to stay on your toes on March 15, and even if you hide under the bed, aspects like this have a way of finding you. You are shrewd and resourceful, so stay confident. If anyone can handle a difficult person, it's you.

You need a fun social life, and the universe agrees. Send your RSVP to a party you may be invited to or a friend's offer to gather up the gang for a great dinner within four days of the full moon in Virgo, March 5. Alternatively, you may be attending a friend's wedding, and if so, you must go! Saturn will support this full moon, so among the people you meet, you may make a friend that will remain in your life a very long time. Group and community activities are also favored in the first ten days of March, so if you plan to give a charity event or help a humanitarian cause that you feel strongly about, as a committee chairman, give it all you have to give, for it will be quite a success.

An even bigger event is about to take place in your love life, with the solar eclipse, March 20. This will be a new moon on steroids, powerful and giving, and could help you find your one true love, or draw you closer to someone you've been dating. Neptune will fall close to this new moon, showering it with inspiration. Neptune will be beautifully angled to Jupiter and Saturn, giving you a sense of security and have you enthusiastic about your future together. If you are coupled up and hope for a baby, this same new moon could summon the stork.

Everything about this eclipse will be positive. Even at work, you may be approved for a highly creative project that allows you to show off the full range of your talents. (Your fifth house of love and children also governs your creativity, as this house covers the birth of all new forms.) Committed couples will find their relationship proceeds smoothly, as Venus will enter your relationship / marriage house on March 17 to stay until April 11, and this month send sweet vibrations to Neptune in romantic Pisces.
