As we welcome March 2024, we are greeted with a strong flow of Piscean energy, which will enhance our creativity, compassionate side, and intuition.
As we reach the center of the month, we welcome the Equinox and the start of the astrological new year. This is a time to celebrate and invite fresh energies into our lives. The energy grid of the planet will be buzzing too, allowing us to raise our vibration and get excited for what’s to come.
As we reach the end of the month, relationships are likely to be on our minds as we begin our first Eclipse Season for the year. Eclipses are always a highly transformative time and it seems that our focus under this Eclipse Season will be on our relationships.
By the end of the month, life could be looking a bit topsy-turvy or upside down, but it is worthwhile remembering that Eclipses always put us where we need to be.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the key dates for the month-
March Astrology 2024
March 3- Venus Square Uranus
Venus in Aquarius will come into a square alignment with Uranus in Taurus. This is a potentially volatile combination that can stir up deeper thoughts and feelings when it comes to our relationships. We may be feeling confused around matters of the heart or we may experience an awakening when it comes to love and what it means to us. This energy is subtle, but is likely to build as we reach the Libra Lunar Eclipse at the end of the month.
March 8- Mercury conjunct Neptune in Pisces
What a dreamy, creative energy to work with! Mercury and Neptune coming together in Pisces brings a heaping dose of creative inspiration that can help fuel our imaginations. Use this energy to work on creative projects or dream up new and exciting experiences for yourself. You can also use this energy to deepen your spiritual practice and intuition.
March 9- Mercury in Aries
Mercury shifts out of dreamy, intuitive Pisces and into fire sign Aries. We will be feeling more directed and clear on how we are feeling and how we wish to express ourselves.
March 9 – Mars Square Uranus
Mars in Aquarius will square Uranus in Taurus. This can create some tense energy and add to any feelings of irritability. If there is some tension brewing in our lives, this planetary combo may cause things to bubble over. But, whenever Mars is involved, things tend to get heated quickly but also resolved quickly.
March 10- New Moon Pisces
The Pisces New Moon is dreamy and romantic! Beautiful energy flows from this New Moon, allowing us to create, deepen our spiritual practice, and work in etheric realms. There is supportive energy around this New Moon for creative work and our ability to manifest will be high. Use this New Moon to set intentions and visualize what you wish to call in. In fact, this is one of the most powerful New Moons we will have all year for visualization work. Close your eyes and imagine up your dream scenario. See in your imagination the job you want, the life you want, and allow your genuine feelings to flow as you do. This New Moon is also a positive time to step out of your mind and into your body. Feel your way through the energies.
March 11- Venus in Pisces
Venus moves into watery Pisces, making us feel more romantic and in touch with our inner feelings. This is a good time to explore our relationship with love and how we choose to give and receive love in our lives. Our relationships with others may also be on our minds. We may be feeling softer and more compassionate.
March 17- Sun conjunct Neptune
Another creative and inspiring day! There is definitely a theme brewing in the first half of the month with all of this dreamy, creative, and ethereal energy flowing through. Neptune aligning with the Sun in Pisces can bring waves of creative inspiration our way, but we do need to be mindful of those rose-colored glasses. Things may appear too good to be true, or we may not be looking at the whole picture. Allow your creativity to take the lead but be mindful of making long-lasting decisions on this day. Trust your intuition, and if something feels off, listen.
March 18- Mercury Enters Shadow Phase
We have enjoyed zero major planets in retrograde for the last month, but now Mercury will begin slowing down in preparation for its retrograde on April 1st. While the energy will be subtle to begin with, we will want to pay attention to the signs and messages of the Universe around this time. If you are dealing with contract negotiations or communication issues, do your homework because more information is likely to come to light.
March 19- Equinox + Start of Astrological Year + Aries Season Begins
It’s one of the most powerful and magical days of the year! We welcome the start of the astrological new year and the start of Aries season as well as the Equinox! The energy grid of the planet will be alive and well today as we celebrate equal hours of night and day and the beginning of Spring or Autumn. With the Aries Season beginning today, too, the energy of fresh starts will be strong, encouraging us to begin again and wipe the slate clean. As we start the new astrological year it is also a power time to set goals and intentions for the new cycle ahead.
March 21- Venus Conjunct Saturn
Venus and Saturn come together in Pisces for a deep and meaningful. This is a time to get real with how we are feeling. We need to take a practical approach when it comes to matters of the heart and perhaps step up and take responsibility for our actions and our current situation.
March 22- Mars in Pisces
Mars now enters the dreamy sign of Pisces, helping to bring a softening to any tense or heightened emotions. While we can use this energy to activate our calm, it can sometimes also lead to sluggishness or a lack of motivation. Don’t push yourself too hard under this energy; allow yourself to flow.
March 25- Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Libra
Eclipse Season begins with a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Libra. The theme for this Eclipse is all about our relationships and the power dynamics within them. We may find ourselves needing to release or do away with power struggles in our relationships or relationship dynamics that are making us feel powerless. Because this is a lunar eclipse and a south node eclipse, it does seem that an ending is going to occur. This ending could be a big one, but it could also be more subtle, like the ending of a thought pattern or dynamic. Eclipses are always a highly transformative time, so chances are this period and leading into the upcoming Solar Eclipse on April 6th, that some big changes and shifts are underway.
