Eclipse season starts this month, cosmic beings. This means life is changing as we know it, and all we can do is buckle up and get ready for the ride. The month starts off on a relatively mellow note, as Pisces Season keeps going strong, encouraging all zodiac signs to slow down, self-reflect, daydream, and connect deeply with their intuition.
Mercury, the Planet of Communication, enters Aries on March 9 — where it will remain until May 15 (due to Mercury retrograde, which begins on April 1). Then on the 10th we experience the Pisces new moon, which opens up a six-month portal of divine inspiration and spiritual rejuvenation. The cosmos is infused with more Piscean energy with Venus entering Pisces (where it feels at ease) on the 11th, and Mars following suit on the 22nd. This month is a creatively fertile period, so do your best to let your imagination run the show while finding ways to remain grounded in the process.

The astrological new year begins on March 20 at 3:06 p.m. EST, with the sun’s entrance into Aries. This is a period of renewal for all zodiac signs, encouraging us to be bolder in the pursuit of our objectives. Then on the 25th, the full moon lunar eclipse in Libra revolutionises the way we approach love, relationships, and the idea of social justice. Prepare for these areas of our lives to be shaken up, on a personal and collective level.

Aries Sun & Rising
Aries birthday season begins this month — but before we get there, the first 18 days of the month are your annual hibernation season, as the sun continues to travel through Pisces, activating your sector of healing, closure, and spirituality. During this time, you’ll be getting more deeply in tune with your subconscious thoughts, fears, and desires. Allow yourself to explore your more sensitive nature without running away from what you find.
Mercury’s entrance into your sign on the 9th helps you have greater clarity and confidence when it comes to self-expression, and the Pisces new moon on the 10th is the ideal time to set intentions for how you’d like to heal inside and out over the course of these next six months.
Once the sun shifts into your sign on the 19th, the astrological new year begins, making the next four weeks an opportune time to take leaps of faith in the direction of your boldest dreams. No planets are retrograde this month, and with the Libra lunar eclipse occurring on the 25th in your partnership sector, chances are that you’ll manifest the right people to help you reach your objectives — while also clearing out the wrong people from your life.

Taurus Sun & Rising
Welcome to March, Taurus! You’ll feel at ease during the first three weeks of the month, as the Pisces sun continues to harmonise with your Taurus nature, as well as with Jupiter’s transit through Taurus. This is definitely your manifestation season — allow yourself to vividly daydream about what you want to magnetise into your life, particularly between March 10 and 20, when the Pisces new moon’s energy will be most potent.
Your planetary ruler Venus enters Pisces on the 11th, and Venus feels great in Pisces, so you’re likely to be shining more than usual over the course of the next month. This energy will lead to your sensual and emotional side taking over. Flirt and be flirted with, without reservation. You’ll also be open to making new friends during this period.
Once the astro new year begins on the 19th, your energy becomes more introspective, as your sector of healing and closure is activated. Then on the 25th, the Libra lunar eclipse activates your area of health and wellness, which could lead to a major wake-up call. Schedule medical check-ups around this time, or evaluate what changes are necessary in your daily routine to ensure that you’re feeling strong, inside and out.
Gemini Sun & Rising
Gemini, this month your planetary ruler Mercury shifts out of Pisces on the 9th and enters Aries, where it will remain until mid May. This harmonises well with your airy nature, and it activates your sector of friendship and technology. If you’ve been meaning to rebrand yourself or revamp your online profiles, you have the green light to do so. You’re also likely to meet new people or expand your social circle during this lengthy transit.

Meanwhile, the energy of Pisces Season activates your sector of career, so use the Pisces New Moon portal from March 10 to 20 to set intentions regarding ways to feel more emotionally stimulated and inspired by the work that you do. If you feel bored or disconnected from your job, this may be the time to start looking into new options. By the time Jupiter enters your sign in mid May, you may be on the path to living your best life.
The month ends with a powerful lunar eclipse in Libra on the 25th, which activates your sector of fun, fate, and true love. Whether you’re looking for love or not, love will be looking for you. This also means being honest about ways toxicity may exist in your current relationship dynamics. This lunar eclipse will purge unhealthy energy from your life, including the energy that may unconsciously be coming from you. Breathe through the growing pains and trust the release process.
Cancer Sun & Rising
Cancer, doors of opportunity continue to open up for you this month. It’s up to you to be brave enough to walk through them. During the first three weeks of March, your sector of expansion and long journeys is activated, encouraging you to step out of your comfort zone and dream bigger.
Last month’s Virgo full moon revealed ways that you may have kept yourself small, intentionally or unintentionally. Use the Pisces new moon portal from March 10 to March 20 to set clear intentions regarding where you see yourself in six months. If you’ve been wanting to travel or start a new course of study, this is an opportune time to begin that journey.

Once Aries Season begins on the 19th, your sector of career is activated. You may feel ready to ask for a raise or promotion, or to launch or scale your own entrepreneurial venture. Just pace yourself in the process, Cancer, as eclipse season begins this month, with the full moon lunar eclipse in Libra striking on the 25th, in your sector of home and roots. Since you’re ruled by the Moon, you may feel destabilised by this eclipse, so give yourself plenty of time to rest, hydrate, and integrate cosmic lessons at the end of March.
Leo Sun & Rising
Leo, this month you’ll be reflecting on ways to show up in a more emotionally transparent way, even if it initially feels awkward for you to do. Pisces Season continues to highlight ways that you may be overprotecting yourself rather than leaning into your intuitive awareness and letting down your guard. Use the Pisces new moon portal from the 10 to the 20 to set intentions that allow you to trust in the best case scenario and lean into softness and sensitivity. The Universe has your back and all is already well.

On the 9th, your planetary ruler Mercury enters Aries for an extended transit, shifting your attention to ways to invest in yourself through building generational wealth. Use this transit to brainstorm or initiate ways to generate passive income and/or multiple streams of income. Be bold and strategic in your approach, using the Pisces new moon on the 10th to intuitively assess ways to pivot your current priorities and make sure you’re maximising the use of your time.
Once Aries Season begins on the 19th, you’ll feel even more inspired to take leaps of faith when it comes to wealth building, which could lead to you looking into mentorship programs or studying ways some of your most influential figures have built their own empires. Once the Libra lunar eclipse strikes on the 25th in your sector of money and self-esteem, you’ll feel ready to face whatever unexpected challenges or plot twists come your way, because you’ve done the work to remember that your worth is more than just monetary. You are the essence of wealth itself, Virgo. Always remember that.
Libra Sun & Rising
This is a major month for you, Libra, as we’re experiencing the first eclipse of the year in your sign, on the 25th. You’ll feel the effects of this lunation loading all month long, but before it strikes you’re advised to use the rest of Pisces Season to organise and structure your life, in alignment with your deepest values.

Eclipses are unpredictable in nature — particularly lunar eclipses such as the one occurring this month — so instead of trying to plan and prepare for the eclipse, it’s best to strategise ways to simplify your lifestyle and clear out the dead weight, so that you can allow the airy vibes of eclipse season to purify you as needed. Use the Pisces new moon portal from March 10 to March 20 to visualise yourself feeling light-hearted, joyful, and free. What steps are needed for you to consistently achieve that lifestyle, Libra? Plant those seeds and begin that journey.
Aries Season begins on the 19th, and the astrological new year will help you fine-tune the relationships that you maintain in your life.

Figure out what mistakes you once made or tolerated in matters of the heart, and make a vow to learn from them and transcend them this month. By the time your lunar eclipse strikes on the 25th, you’ll feel, look, and act like a completely new being. You’ve risen from your ashes, Libra. Now it’s time for you to soar.

This is especially the case from March 10 to March 20, when the Pisces new moon’s energy will feel auspicious and will help catalyse you to new heights as an artist and lover.

Once the astrological new year begins on the 19th with the start of Aries Season, you’ll be in the mood to boss up when it comes to your daily routines and your health journey. If you’ve felt a bit lazy or lethargic during Pisces Season, the sun and Mercury’s presence in Aries will help you refresh and restructure your habits so that wellness is at the centre of your consciousness. Doing so will be helpful by the time the Libra full moon eclipse strikes in your spirituality and healing sector on the 25th. This eclipse will be emotionally potent and spiritually amplifying, and you’ll need all the rest and strength you can get.

Money continues to be on your mind as the month of March begins, Aquarius. But this is in a more ethereal way rather than a tangible way, if that makes sense. The sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Neptune all spend time traveling through this sector of your chart at one point this month, and this Pisces stellium is teaching you to allow material and financial rewards to naturally flow to you through the path of least resistance. Think about ways to attract greater wealth through simplifying the work you do. This isn’t the time to add more to your plate, but rather clear your plate of the non-essentials so that you can give more attention to what will maximise your returns. Use the Pisces new moon on the 10th to do a money ritual or visualisation exercise.
