As you enter March, you will do so in a low-key way. The full moon of March 1, in Virgo, 11 degrees, will light your behind-the-scenes sector, suggesting you are happy to fly under the radar and work quietly on a project. This is a very positive full moon, with lovely beams from Saturn, and no matter what you work on, whether on a product introduction or on strengthening a new relationship, as two of many possible examples, what you do with Saturn near will stand the test of time.

This sector also rules intuition as well as secrets, so if you feel someone has not told you the entire story on a certain topic, you will likely find out about it now. On the other hand, this is such a lovely time of the month, with such a supportive full moon, someone may have a surprise for you – something you will be thrilled to hear.

I am particularly excited to see that your ruling planet, Venus, on March 1, will be in the most enchanting aspect possible to good fortune Jupiter, called in astrology to be a trine (with each planet 120 degrees from the other). This will help you get work if you are looking for work, and with Venus there, you would love the work you do. Jupiter is in your house of earned income, so you would be paid generously, too. You can choose part-time or full-time work – it appears that either kind of work would be available to you.

All full moons have an area of influence of four days. Venus is not only a planet tied to money, but also to fun and love, so if you are invited to a party, wedding, or other event, you will find the atmosphere quite enchanting and otherworldly. Planets will spin a dream of an evening, so in the first weekend of the month if you get an invitation, by all means go.

Put a star on March 13, when the Sun and Jupiter will be in heavenly sync. VIPs will favor you, and if you apply for a job, you are likely to get it. If you are a manager and need to hire recruits, or if you have to hire people for your home life, such as a nanny, babysitter, gardener, contractor, or personal assistant, for example, you will be able to find a gem, for you are under the best possible aspects on March 13.

One of the biggest days of your month will come at the new moon, March 17, the new moon in your sixth house of work projects. With three heavenly bodies in Pisces, including the new moon (27 degrees) and Sun, along with Neptune, any new job you take would rely heavily on your artistic abilities. This has to be great news, for you will be able to show your signature style.

This same part of your chart shows the preventative measures you take to remain vibrant and well, or return to health if you have been under the weather. This new moon will open opportunity to feel better, to get a diagnosis, or if you need one, to start a physical therapy program that works. In terms of a diagnosis, if your intuition tells you test results you get this month seem off, or are surprising you and your doctor in some way, you might want to ask to have it repeated, for Neptune’s presence suggests that an error might have been made in the lab.

This new moon will also be a fine time – one of the best of the year – to start a new fitness program. With several heavenly bodies traveling through water-signs, you might enjoy taking up a water sport. I love that Jupiter, giver of gifts and luck, will be in perfect angle to this new moon – this is a major shot of good fortune. If you have not been feeling well, you should find the right doctor for a second opinion, for Jupiter is not only the planet of good fortune, but also the planet of miracles, and you may be able to find a medical practitioner who understands your condition and has a remedy for you. You may finally experience greater comfort. If you feel losing the last ten pounds would be a miracle for you, hit the gym – finally that dream will be possible for you.

One note of caution: statistics show most accidents happen in the home, and with Mars about to conjunct Saturn on April 2, you need to keep walkways clear of toys and items that might trip you up. Mars and Saturn are both in Capricorn, a sign ruling bones and teeth, so you will want to do all you can to strengthen them. I am not saying you will have a problem, but I do caution you to watch where you walk at month’s end. Also if a tooth seems troublesome, give your dentist a call.

In the early part of the month, until March 17, you will have Mars in Sagittarius in your third house. You may be traveling short distances, some for pleasure but more likely for business, because quick trips appear to have a profit motive.

You may also be focused on your sister or brother in early March, as news may be emanating from a sibling or a cousin. With Mars in your third sector, this seems very likely. In general the first part of March will be a very busy phase, and you will have to field emails, ringing phones, meetings, and more – it will seem that everyone will need you. Still, Sagittarius is a fire sign that blends nicely with your air-sign Libra element, so you have got this, and you will handle all with confidence.

Mercury will go retrograde in Aries from March 22 to April 15, so the chances that you might make a few errors in documents will rise. Go slowly, especially if you are doing your own taxes. Even if you have an accountant, go over all the calculations and see if you generally agree with what she or he filed.

After March 17, until May 15, you appear to be very focused on property, whether the home you are thinking about is your main residence, your country house, or other property where you may be the temporary caretaker. Whether you need to buy, sell, rent, buy furniture, renovate, repair, or make any other changes, Mars will give you an array of choices from March 17 to May 15.

As Mars gets closer to Pluto next month on April 26, I am wondering if you will begin changing the structure of the walls or fixing up the basement. That seems very likely. Or, you may be thinking about the plumbing of the house and asking a plumber to come in and fix pipes. If you are thinking of enacting these kinds of plans, you can start collecting estimates from various suppliers.

At the start of your focus on property, you may feel the task is arduous and a little overwhelming because Mars will be very close to Saturn. Mars will make you want to act quickly, but Saturn will caution you not to move so fast. Saturn will win out, so you will have no choice but to slow down. That’s fine – don’t be blue. You will have Mercury retrograde in your partnership sector, so you may find that your spouse does not agree with your plans, your ex does not send the child support promised, or that the contractor you hired is bringing up unexpected problems that have to be fixed before he can proceed. You get the idea – it’s all part of Mercury retrograde.

As time goes on, you won’t feel overwhelmed anymore – Mars will separate from Saturn – so any feelings of any burden you might have felt will lift, but you still will feel the weight of responsibility that you appear to have taken on. It is alternatively possible you will be focused on one of your parents or other elderly relatives who need your kind help and advice – you will absolutely want to be there to help.

One bright spot will arrive on March 28 when Venus conjuncts Uranus in perfect alignment in Aries. One of the partners or collaborators in your life, or your spouse, will have a sweet surprise for you, and it will make you very happy. Put a star on this day.

The month will end with a tough full moon in Libra, 11 degrees, March 31. Saturn and Mars will be in hard angle to the moon in Libra, and at the same time to the Sun in Aries. Saturn and Mars will be equidistant from both the Sun and moon, beaming 90-degree square aspects to both. Squares bring obstacles and Saturn will always remind us that we have to fulfill promises and obligations before we can do anything else.

Something about your home, and your plans, may trigger a disagreement with your mate, steady live-in lover, or roommate. Or, it may be that your family doesn’t like something about your partner, or your plans, and trigger a lot of tension. Again, this is not your first rodeo, and you can handle this. Nothing that comes up will be unexpected, because Uranus is NOT involved (and Uranus is known to bring sudden surprises). Instead, I have a feeling you know this is coming.

If your birthday falls on October 3, plus or minus four days, or if you have Libra rising 11 degrees or the natal moon at 11 degrees, you will feel the effects of this full moon very strongly. Libras born at other times of the month might not feel any affects.

As the month opens, you may be dragging your little feathers. Where did my social Libra go? You seem to be temporarily heading into hiding and hibernation for a few days, and if so, you have the right idea. With a full moon in your twelfth house of privacy, you seem to need time to collect your thoughts and sort out events, and there will be no better time than at the full moon, March 1.

This does not mean you have to be completely alone; it means you will want to spend time with those who mean the most to you – close friends and family. As a matter of fact, you may be invited to a beautiful family of close friends or family over the weekend of March 3-4 and with Venus, your ruler beaming Jupiter, this is not a celebration to miss. Accept and go!

The third house is also the house of quick travel, so if you did not pack and go in February (very likely), you can still flee town before Mars leaves Sagittarius on March 17. From that point on, March 17 to May 15, your mind will be squarely on your home and property. If you have to move, your best choices will surface at this time, and if you need to sell, your best offers.

You will get another chance to settle property and family matters three months from now, over the full moon June 27, but with Saturn putting his fingerprints over that particular full moon, you won’t get an appealing offer. Focus in March, April, and May to settle real estate choices.

The new moon of March 17 will bring news of a highly creative project that will tickle your imagination in the days and weeks to come. With Neptune conjunct the Sun and moon, anything you do involving the arts would likely excite you. If you do not work in the creative department at work, but do have an artistic pastime you love to do, take your project seriously now, and work with passion. You can easily elevate the quality of your work now and make others sit up and take notice.

If you are not feeling well, Neptune will have a different influence on your health, because this month Neptune might cloud test results. The fact that Mercury will retrograde too, starting March 22 to April 15 won’t help matters, as Mercury is known to scramble information. If test results seem to baffle your doctor, or seem in some way wrong to you, ask to have a repeat of the tests. You may also want to get a second opinion. It would be better to have all medical tests done during the first half of March, prior to March 17.

With Mars and Saturn in Capricorn conjunct at month’s end, don’t skip dental exams, and at the gym, work to build strong bones. Watch where you walk, and at home, keep walkways clear of objects and toys, especially at night.

The month ends with a full moon in Libra, putting a big accent on you and your dreams and desires. Something or someone dearly important to you is about to bring news, but it could go either way – welcome or not. On one hand, a partner in love or business might surprise you in some delightful way, because Venus, planet of love and profit, will be conjunct Uranus, planet of unexpected developments. However, Uranus never does what we think he will do, so we simply have to remain open to whatever comes up.

Saturn, however, will be in hard angle to the Sun and moon on the full moon March 31, making you feel that you are carrying too much responsibility and possibly making you feel overwhelmed. Mars and Saturn will be conjunct in your home sector, giving a set of mixed messages. Take time to sort out what you need to do, and don’t let anyone pressure you into making rushed home-related decisions. Mars will make you impulsive, but Saturn will ask you to go slowly, and Saturn will win this tug of war. Keep an eye on your parents or other older relatives, as Saturn rules older people, as someone in your family may need your assistance.

Knowing this full moon might be stressful, see if you can line up an extra pair of hands to help you at month’s end. Do so even if the tasks you offload are menial, for you will be calmer for having planned ahead. At a full moon like this one, it is impossible to know which way events will go. You may get news that will require you to go in a different direction, and so you will appreciate having an elastic schedule and a willing helper. With freedom to move as needed, you’ll more easily sail through this period like a pro.
