Overview for this Month: Leo (All)

March 2016

The month ahead puts strong emphasis on love relationships, intimacy, and money matters, dear Leo. Later in March, learning, sharing, publishing, and possibly some adventure can be part of the picture.

Mars moving into your solar fifth house on the 5/6 is supportive energetically speaking. There are less obstacles in your way as you go about your business. It feels easier and more natural to assert your desires. This is about discovering or pursuing your passions. Hobbies and creative or competitive pursuits, or a romance, can be in focus. This can also reinforce business savvy, as it stimulates better timing, improved energy, and increased courage. However, with an upcoming retrograde that begins in the middle of April, there can be some complications to deal with. Saturn is in the same sector, so that it's a good idea to firm up some of your plans and bring more structure to your creative projects and play time. For some, a relationship may be in need of more regularity or predictability so that you can come to better balance in your life.

Even so, there is a large focus on your solar eighth house and its themes: debts owed or due, emotional and material support, intimate relationships, and power dynamics. At least one inner planet is in this house at any given time this month, and for part of it, three. As well a Solar Eclipse occurs here on the 8th, which can bring on a need to take charge of your financial or intimate affairs. A new beginning on the level of financial or emotional support is possible now. This begins a good period in which to get a handle on shared resources, to manage difficult dependencies, and to grow an intimate relationship. Earnings and talents are in focus with Jupiter in your sector of resources, and its trine to Pluto suggests it's a strong period for setting goals and pursuing them. A project begun last fall may be spreading its wings or could need your attention. You can be especially motivated to produce, build, accumulate, and prove your worth. There could be job offers or you could be making your own job opportunities now, and, for some, there can be significant gifts or bonuses. There is also excellent energy for healing the body and improving health. Jupiter is also challenged by Uranus and Saturn this month, however, and if you've been overdoing your focus on the material world, for example, you may need to look for ways to balance things out. This can mean simplifying or leaning up your projects, working harder, improving self-discipline, cutting out some of your more frivolous activities, or putting better schedules and structures into place. You may also need to find ways to balance out practical application and experimentation, as you're excited about learning new things but this can eat a lot of your time and you also need to put food on the table.

When it comes to close relationships, the 10th and 19-21 are powerful for growing your spiritual connection. Try not to turn a blind eye to money details this month, as tempting as it is.

Communications, studies, publishing, and connecting are in stronger focus from the 20th forward. A Lunar Eclipse on the 23rd can stimulate some drama, as small issues loom large. However, what emerges now can bring you to an important turning point. It can be an especially busy time when it can be difficult to focus on the things that inspire and drive you. Your words are more powerful now, so use this energy well. For some, it can be a time for a book or web site launch or announcement, a studying opportunity, or other turning point related to transportation and/or communication. This is the last of a series of eclipses that falls along your communications axis, and you are likely to want to bring a project to fruition or make a final decision. The 20-21 stimulates a desire for adventure and excitement, and the 23-26 awaken a strong need to express yourself creatively.

March 2016

 

Leo the LionOverview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until March 20th:

The Sun continues to highlight your solar eighth house. Your attention turns inward, as well as to close personal relationships on a deeper level. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other's money, such as the resources of a partner, inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes. You are more intense in your mood and disposition, and perhaps even secretive, at this time of year. You are more in touch with the deeper and even primal elements of your own personality, and more able to see these things in others. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.

From March 20th forward:

This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details.

Eclipses

A Solar Eclipse Occurs on March 8th:

A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.

The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar eighth house, suggesting a new approach to the way you share money and resources or get along with a close partner on an intimate level. New intimate liaisons or arrangements surrounding support from others (loans, joint finances, alimony, and so forth) may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to employ self-mastery skills. This is a phase when you will be especially busy initiating new projects or activities that increase your resources. You may experience increased awareness of others�what makes them tick�as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.

A Lunar Eclipse Occurs on March 23rd:

A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.

This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar third house. Surprises surrounding your siblings, neighbors, or classmates are in store. Something that has been in hiding or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of communications is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination of a writing project, an event involving a sibling that grabs your complete attention, a sudden opportunity for an adventure or trip, a flurry of activity in your immediate environment or neighborhood that demands attention, a letter or other communication that holds a big surprise, and other such possibilities.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until March 12th:Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector. Meaningful and harmonious relationships--both social and romantic--define you during this cycle, affecting your mind, body, and soul. Financial or social success may come to or through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery works to your advantage! Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It's not about you right now--it's about someone else close. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.

From March 12th forward:

Venus graces your solar eighth house now. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until March 5th:

Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house. You can be especially aware of your "audience" in your communications now, which tend to be diplomatic and respectful during this cycle. You may be encountering an especially chatty or communicative partner, or meeting youthful, talkative people. At this time, you love to hear others' opinions and perspectives, and it's an excellent time to do so. Others can spur on your own thinking and decision making processes now, simply by offering another perspective. You are thinking a lot about others, a partner, and relating in general, and in some cases perhaps worrying over these things.

From March 5-21:

Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing. Research is also highly favored. It's also easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.

From March 21st forward:

Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture. You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until March 6th:

Mars continues to activate your solar fourth house. More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home. You desire to take the lead, but you should do so in a respectful way so as not to get anyone's goat.

From March 6th forward:

Mars animates and energizes your solar fifth house. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic. You have a likeably competitive, more energetic, and pleasingly assertive temperament during this transit. However, in some cases, you may be coming on too strong or aggressively, or meeting with aggressiveness in romantic relationships.

March 2016

 

Leo the LionOverview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

All month:

The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery. All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets. This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until March 10th:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar seventh house--your partnership sector. This can be a time of much learning through the mirror of close relationships. It's not the time to push your agenda or personal plans forward; rather, it's a cycle in which you are at your best when you recognize the need to form alliances, to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some balance in your life. It's a strong period for putting yourself into another person's shoes and to better understand him/her. You may be meeting with someone strong and assertive by nature now, or a partner is more assertive and needy of attention. There may be some competitive feelings between you and a significant other now. Focus is on reconciliation, forming or cementing bonds, diplomacy, consultation, one-on-one interactions, and negotiations. You may feel a little drained physically now, temporarily.

From March 10th forward:

The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes.

This eclipse occurs in your solar seventh house, suggesting a new approach to dealing with others is in order. A new set-up in existing partnerships or a new relationship altogether may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your one-to-one relationship skills. This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of the need for someone significant to lean on or to rely on. You may also begin a consulting position or you could enjoy an increase in clients if you already work with people one-on-one.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until March 4th: Venus continues to move through your solar sixth house now. This is a time when beautifying and/or bringing harmony to your working environment is a priority to you. You might find more opportunities to socialize with co-workers, perhaps even meeting a new friend through your work or health routines. You are likely to bring more tact and diplomacy to your relations with the people you work with now. You may not be as productive as usual during this period, as the focus is more on social relationships and pleasure than on getting the job done. Improving health and vitality through pleasurable activities such as massage might be in focus now.

From March 4-28:

Venus graces your solar seventh house during this period. This is a time for extra attention to a partner or significant other, as well as from that person! You are more inclined to flatter and charm others during this cycle. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.

From March 28th forward:

Venus graces your solar eighth house now. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until March 16th:

Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house. You can be especially aware of your "audience" in your communications now, which tend to be diplomatic and respectful during this cycle. You may be encountering an especially chatty or communicative partner, or meeting youthful, talkative people. At this time, you love to hear others' opinions and perspectives, and it's an excellent time to do so. Others can spur on your own thinking and decision making processes now, simply by offering another perspective. You are thinking a lot about others, a partner, and relating in general, and in some cases perhaps worrying over these things.

From March 16th forward:

Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing. Research is also highly favored. It's also easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to activate your solar fourth house. More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home. You desire to take the lead, but you should do so in a respectful way so as not to get anyone's goat.

Overview Horoscope:

The month ahead puts strong emphasis on love relationships, intimacy, and money matters, dear Leo. Later in March, learning, sharing, publishing, and possibly some adventure can be part of the picture.

Mars moving into your solar fifth house on the 5/6 is supportive energetically speaking. There are less obstacles in your way as you go about your business. It feels easier and more natural to assert your desires. This is about discovering or pursuing your passions. Hobbies and creative or competitive pursuits, or a romance, can be in focus. This can also reinforce business savvy, as it stimulates better timing, improved energy, and increased courage. However, with an upcoming retrograde that begins in the middle of April, there can be some complications to deal with. Saturn is in the same sector, so that it's a good idea to firm up some of your plans and bring more structure to your creative projects and play time. For some, a relationship may be in need of more regularity or predictability so that you can come to better balance in your life.

Even so, there is a large focus on your solar eighth house and its themes: debts owed or due, emotional and material support, intimate relationships, and power dynamics. At least one inner planet is in this house at any given time this month, and for part of it, three. As well a Solar Eclipse occurs here on the 8th, which can bring on a need to take charge of your financial or intimate affairs. A new beginning on the level of financial or emotional support is possible now. This begins a good period in which to get a handle on shared resources, to manage difficult dependencies, and to grow an intimate relationship. Earnings and talents are in focus with Jupiter in your sector of resources, and its trine to Pluto suggests it's a strong period for setting goals and pursuing them. A project begun last fall may be spreading its wings or could need your attention. You can be especially motivated to produce, build, accumulate, and prove your worth. There could be job offers or you could be making your own job opportunities now, and, for some, there can be significant gifts or bonuses. There is also excellent energy for healing the body and improving health. Jupiter is also challenged by Uranus and Saturn this month, however, and if you've been overdoing your focus on the material world, for example, you may need to look for ways to balance things out. This can mean simplifying or leaning up your projects, working harder, improving self-discipline, cutting out some of your more frivolous activities, or putting better schedules and structures into place. You may also need to find ways to balance out practical application and experimentation, as you're excited about learning new things but this can eat a lot of your time and you also need to put food on the table.

When it comes to close relationships, the 10th and 19-21 are powerful for growing your spiritual connection. Try not to turn a blind eye to money details this month, as tempting as it is.

Communications, studies, publishing, and connecting are in stronger focus from the 20th forward. A Lunar Eclipse on the 23rd can stimulate some drama, as small issues loom large. However, what emerges now can bring you to an important turning point. It can be an especially busy time when it can be difficult to focus on the things that inspire and drive you. Your words are more powerful now, so use this energy well. For some, it can be a time for a book or web site launch or announcement, a studying opportunity, or other turning point related to transportation and/or communication. This is the last of a series of eclipses that falls along your communications axis, and you are likely to want to bring a project to fruition or make a final decision. The 20-21 stimulates a desire for adventure and excitement, and the 23-26 awaken a strong need to express yourself creatively.

About  Our Monthly Horoscopes:

Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from a previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July's horoscope. This is normal and expected. Transits don't suddenly change as the calendar month changes.

These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.

The Highlights section reveal lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as "Your Personal New Moon" and "Monthly career peak" repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.

The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts, and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes, simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
