March 2009: The signs of Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, and Virgo are
emphasized in March. Venus turns retrograde on the 6th (until April 17th),
signaling a period of slowdown and rethinking in the realms of love and
finances. It's time to backtrack in these areas of life, and this can mean we
have less confidence for the time being. Later in the month, Jupiter quincunxes
Saturn and semi-squares Pluto. Saturn has retrograded back in the sign of Virgo,
far enough to pull out from its opposition to Uranus (for the time being). Mars
moves into Pisces in the middle of the month. A Full Moon occurs on the 10th at
21 degrees Virgo, close to Saturn. A New Moon in Aries (6 degrees) occurs on the
26th. The month promises to be a little less dramatic than January and February.
Aries

Venus entered your sign in February, augmenting your overall charm and perhaps
bringing gifts, money, and favors your way. This month, Venus moves "backwards",
and it's time for introspection. This is particularly true after the 15th, when
Mars enters Pisces, the sign just behind yours. It's time to revise your plans
and put off new initiatives until you have more confidence in them. Others may
not be getting you--perhaps misunderstanding your intentions--for the time
being. A partner may be distant. A New Moon on the 26th brings new discoveries
and a feeling of newness to your life. Still, take your time before moving
forward. The Full Moon on the 10th brings some chaos on the job front, but
nothing you can't handle. The first week of March is strong for business income,
friendships, and group associations. It's an unusual month in which you are
inclined to retreat yet others are vying for your attention. Use March for
budgeting rather than buying, resting if you can, and revising plans.
Taurus

Venus, your ruler, turns retrograde this month, signaling a period of
reflection. You are likely to pull back a little, as you take the time to revise
and perhaps question your plans. Matters from the past creep up and demand your
attention. This is a good month in which to solve old problems and finally lay
them to rest. Nevertheless, your public or professional life is quite busy,
particularly in the first week of March. Friends are supportive. Despite your
inclination towards retreat and rest, your social agenda is hectic. There is
bound to be some drama in your romantic life, particularly around the 10th. A
lover (and in some cases, a child) needs some attention, and it's time to sort
that out. A surprise surrounding a friend or family member is likely on the
12-13.
Gemini

Some complications surrounding friends and lovers are quite possible this month,
and you're likely to find these people in your life dredging up old issues. Give
others space. There's a lot of activity on the career front in March. While you
begin the month in an adventurous mood, you quickly realize that there are a lot
of responsibilities to take care of. Family matters grab your attention as well,
around the 10th, and then on the 12-13, surprising events and communications
occur through your work. The 1-2 brings excitement surrounding a travel
opportunity. Strong days of opportunity occur on the 2-5 and then the 10. Watch
for pressure build-up on the 18.
Cancer

There are some wonderful and perhaps surprising opportunities that have to do
with legal affairs, travel, or education this month, particularly around the
12-13 and 21-23. Nevertheless, complications and setbacks are likely, but are
only temporary. Career matters could be causing you some concern, but try not to
fret over details. Instead, come up with a better game plan. April will bring
opportunities to begin anew. A relationship is reaching new depths of intimacy
in March, and there's quite a bit of talk and activity that stimulate changes in
how you approach each other, particularly in the first week of the month.
Leo

Your close personal relationships continue to take center stage in your life
this month, dear Leo. A close partner could seem a little mysterious or even
elusive, but this only serves to intrigue you more. It's a good month for
deepening a connection, but do prepare yourself for some communication snafus.
Travel, legal, or educational plans may not be moving forward at the speed you'd
like them to be. The 10th brings some financial matters to light, demanding your
attention. Likely, money shared, borrowed, or loaned will be big topics on the
table now. In fact, some surprising events surrounding shared possessions and
funds, as well as intimate matters, are likely around the 12-13 and 21-23. The
12-13 also brings an exciting connection with a lover.
Virgo

The month begins with a strong focus on your health and work routines, dear
Virgo. You could be digging up interesting information now, and there is likely
to be quite a fuss over it in the first week of the month. The focus turns to a
close partnership or friendship towards mid-month, when a special someone could
be putting his/her cards on the table. While it's not a time to sweep matters
under the rug, some care should be taken in all love matters this month,
particularly those surrounding shared finances and intimacy. It's a good month
for redesigning your budget, but it's not strong for making big purchases. You
could easily regret your purchases next month, so take the time to think about
it before you leap forward. The 10th brings a surprising revelation.
Libra

March brings a more serious tone than February, dear Libra, although the first
week is likely still about "fun and games". Work matters become increasingly
into focus, and you are feeling more introspective. It's not that you lack
confidence, but you tend to recognize the need to look within for answers.
Questioning your plans is likely, and in fact quite necessary. A close partner
may be distant or hard to read this month as well. Some disconnects in the love
department are likely. These will clear up mid-April. For now, try not to push
matters (or others). Give them space, and give yourself space as well. Surprises
on the job or regarding health are likely on the 12-13 and 21-23. The 11-12 also
brings some fabulous news and highly motivating conversations.
Scorpio

You're moving towards a more playful and fun frame of mind in March, dear
Scorpio. Romantic surprises are likely around the 12-13 and 21-23. There could
also be surprising turns of events surrounding creative projects, children, and
family matters during these periods. Invitations to go out and have some fun
should be grabbed. While love matters do pick up pace, some care is necessary
when it comes to a close partnership. You might find that a partner is a little
distant or hard to reach this month. These matters will clear up mid-April, and
simply require you to be patient and understanding. The 10th brings your
obligations to friends or groups to light. Going over past errors or problems is
likely on the job.
Sagittarius

The first week of March continues the busy theme of last month for you dear
Sagittarius, after which life settles down a tad. While there are bound to be
some surprises on the home front, particularly on the 12-13 and 21-23, your
focus is on settling in and keeping the peace. The 10th brings the culmination
of an important work project or a scurry of activity on the job. Events occur
that highlight your responsibilities in your professional life. From the 6th and
until mid-April, a lover may be distant or in a phase of rethinking matters. You
might also take this time to re-assess your goals on a romantic level.
Capricorn

The month begins with continued attention to your personal finances, dear
Capricorn. You have big ideas about how to increase your income. While you will
continue to brainstorm about money-making endeavors in March, your attention
also turns to learning, communicating, and networking. A surprise communication
is likely on the 12-13, and work brings unanticipated events on the 21-23. If a
lover seems distant or a love affair appears to stall this month, it just means
that it's time to reassess matters. You could also find that you experience
creative blocks this month, which will clear up mid-April.
Aquarius

The first week of March is very busy for you, dear Aquarius. You are getting a
lot of attention, and others are turning to you for advice. Money matters become
a big focus from the 8th forward, and unanticipated events surrounding your
personal finances are likely, particularly on the 12-13 and 21-23.
Responsibilities to others, particularly on a financial level, become hard to
ignore around the 10th. The 12-13 is also a strong period for enhancing or
attracting a close partnership. Creative projects could bring financial reward
this month.
Pisces

March is a strong month for reassessing your finances and making a budget, dear
Pisces, but it's not a favorable time for making important purchases. If you do
make a big outlay, you are likely to regret it next month, so hold off if you
can for the time being. It's better to hold on to your money now. From the 8th
forward, you're getting a lot of attention. A partner has your wants and needs
in mind, and work matters are favored. Your responsibilities to a special
someone are hard to ignore around the Full Moon on the 10th.
