March is shaping up to be incredibly transformative, packed with significant astrological events that invite deep reflection, letting go of the past and a powerful push towards a fresh start – a true cosmic reset. We’ve got two retrogrades, two eclipses, the Equinox, and a significant planetary shift – Neptune moving into Aries for the first time since 1861! It’s a lot, so let’s break it down and see how we can best ride these cosmic waves.
To make it simpler, we can look at these events in four key parts:
Part 1: The “RE” Zone – Retrogrades
Think of this as a cosmic call to hit the pause button. Retrogrades are all about the “RE” words: Review, Reflect, Reassess, etc. Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and values, is currently in retrograde until April 13. It’s like the universe is gently nudging us to revisit our relationships and what we truly value. Ask yourself: Are you happy with your current relationships? Are your finances aligned with your priorities? What truly brings you joy? Then, Mercury, the planet of communication, travel, and technology, joins the retrograde party from March 15 to April 7. This can bring potential communication breakdowns, tech glitches, and travel delays. Remember, it’s the universe saying, “Slow down, double-check, and be patient!”
Part 2: Eclipse Season – Dramatic Transformations
Eclipses are like cosmic wake-up calls. They can be dramatic events that mark transformations, endings, and new beginnings. They shake us out of complacency and force us to pay attention to areas in our lives that need change. The Lunar Eclipse in Virgo on March 14 highlights areas where we may be overly critical, anxious, or stuck in rigid routines. The invitation is to release the need to control every detail and trust the process.
On the other hand, the Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 29 amplifies the themes of new beginnings, action, and courage. It’s time to ask yourself: What new beginnings do you want to create? What are you passionate about?
Part 3: Equinox – Finding Balance
The Equinox on March 20 marks the moment when day and night are of equal length, a time of balance and transition. It is a powerful reminder to seek balance in all areas of your life – work, relationships, self-care.
Part 4: Neptune in Aries – Dreams and Visions
Finally, we have the planetary shift of Neptune from Pisces to Aries on March 29. Neptune is known as the planet of dreams, illusions, and spirituality. The last time Neptune was in Aries was back in 1861, a time filled with new ideas and visions for change. Aries symbolizes self-leadership and courage. This shift encourages us to embrace our dreams and take bold steps towards achieving them.
These cosmic events aren’t just happening to us, they’re happening for us.
This March, the universe is offering a powerful opportunity for transformation and growth – a true cosmic reset. It’s time to get intentional! Don’t let these potent energies pass you by.
To make the most of this transformative month:
* Choose one area of your life you want to focus on.
* Set clear intentions aligned with the energy of the eclipses and the planetary shift. What new beginning are you ready to embrace? What old pattern are you ready to release?
* Commit to daily meditation, even if it’s just for 5 to 10 minutes. Use this time to connect with your inner wisdom and visualize your desired outcomes. Focus on an affirmation such as “I am ready to embrace new beginnings.”
* Take at least one small, actionable step each day toward your intention.
Remember to be patient with yourself, practice self-care, and trust the journey. Stay grounded, stay open, and step boldly into your power!
In loving service,
