March Forecast

Look for mental sparks to fly this month. Even with the Sun in dreamy, emotional Pisces, March 2008 begins with an abundance of mental energy. Mercury and Venus in brilliant Aquarius and Mars in brainy Gemini inspires flirtatiousness, ingenuity and unconventional ideas, especially for Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) and Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) signs.

Romance turns dreamy
However, Water sign transits soon take over, making relationships, intimacy and spirituality priorities for everyone. Mars transits into Cancer on March 4th, and Venus and Mercury transit into Pisces on the 12th and 14th respectively. This places Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) and Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) front and center in the romance arena. And for everyone, imagination, intuition and artistry will be kicking into high gear. Then some fire gets added to the mix when the Sun enters Aries on the 19^th, which heralds the Vernal Equinox.

Full Moon eruption
The New Moon in Pisces conjunct Uranus on the 7^th also emphasizes spirituality and exploring your imagination. The Uranus influence can be jarring as it boots you out of your rut. Unconventional solutions and activities are favored.

But it’s the Libra Full Moon on the 21^st that everyone should watch out for. It forms a T-cross with disruptive Pluto, which has the power to wreak havoc on your emotional equilibrium, especially if you’re a Cardinal sign (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn). Try to avoid confrontations – and stay centered!
