Aquarius, March 2016

In our monthly horoscopes, we provide a more in depth look at what's happening in the sky. You can read the rest of our monthly horoscopes here.

March opens with lots of excitement, Aquarius! On March 2, the planet of peace, love, and beauty, Venus, will have a pleasant interaction electric Uranus (which happens to be your modern planetary ruler). Prior to Uranus' discovery, Saturn was considered your ruling planet, but now you have two. Whenever either of these planets has something going on in the heavens, we know that stuff will be happen down here on earth for you.

Venus is currently in your sign, making you feel lovable and sexy, and Uranus is in fun Fire sign Aries. When these two planets connect, you'll make some exciting discoveries, hear some interesting gossip, and have some very inspiring conversations.

Mercury and Mars change signs on March 5, shifting your focus quite a bit. Mercury, the planet of communication, enters Pisces, the sign of limitlessness— a vibe you totally are ready to feel in your financial life. Mercury in Pisces is activating the sector of your chart that rules cash, so expect to have plenty of conversations around how you can grow your bank account.

Also on March 5, warrior planet Mars enters Fire sign Sagittarius, which will ignite the social sector of your chart. As the sign of friendship, you have no problem getting invited to parties; however, that doesn't always mean you actually have the energy to attend them. Now you will!

Your traditional ruling planet, Saturn, gets some action on March 6 when it's squared by the Sun. Squares are super tense aspects, so expect to feel some stress today. The Sun is currently in empathetic, creative Pisces, where's it's causing you to figure out what's important to you. Pisces is the last sign in the zodiac, so it's totally natural that you're asking yourself, In the end, what's really important to me?

Saturn is in free-spirited Fire sign Sagittarius, where it's encouraging you to chase your dreams. But are your dreams practical? And how can you chase them if you don't even know what's really important to you right now? Again, Pisces rules that financial sector of your chart—so how can you chase your dreams if you have to worry about bills? This could be a super stressful day; however, this is an important, worthy issue to sort out, and once you do, you'll be much happier for it!

March 8 is one of the biggest days of the month, thanks to the new moon solar eclipse in Pisces! A lot of what happens in March concerns your cash flow, and this eclipse is no exception. Eclipses tear away things from your life that no longer work for you and bring exciting possibilities. This eclipse won't just have you thinking about your income—it will also cause you to reflect on issues with your self-esteem. Eclipse energy is super intense. Take it slow today and keep your ego in check: In addition to the eclipse, the Sun, the planet of ego, will oppose excessive Jupiter today, so watch out for exaggerations!

Venus enters Pisces on March 12, bringing some love to the financial sector of your chart: yay! Venus is the planet of all things good—romance, beauty, poetry, and art. Venus loves to be in sensitive, artistic Pisces. You'll be a fancy mood, Aquarius! Venus in Pisces will inspire you to remember how talented and unique you are; you'll definitely feel a boost in your self-esteem during this period.

The spring equinox arrives on March 20, shifting your focus from cash to communication. This transit occurs right in time, since Venus will also meet hazy Neptune on this day. Venus and Neptune will create confusion in the money and worth sector of your chart, and you'll find yourself confused about what's important to you—or perhaps a material issue will go straight over your head.

But no worries: With the Sun in Fire sign Aries illuminating the sector of your chart that rules the mind, you will definitely be able to figure out the answers to whatever is frustrating you. Plus, when Venus and Neptune meet, the vibe is super creative and dreamy. As foggy as life might feel on this day, you'll likely be able to enjoy getting a little lost. On March 21, Mercury enters Aries, bringing you even more mental clarity, so you shouldn't be in the dark for too long.

March 23 is another big day this month! Jupiter squares Saturn, the Sun meets Mercury, and we have a full moon lunar eclipse in fellow Air sign Libra! Eclipses alter the way we see the world, and after this one in the sign of harmony, you'll definitely have a much more balanced view of the world. This eclipse will be activating the part of your chart that rules learning and growth, so any traveling or schooling you're doing will be touched by this energy. Eclipses are exhausting, and so much more is going on this day, so be prepared!

The planet of good luck and abundance, Jupiter, is currently in flawless Virgo, occupying a super sensitive and psychic area of your chart. Virgo is a very analytical energy, and it's been inspiring you to sort through some difficult situations ultra logically and in a very practical, down-to-earth manner. Saturn, the planet of responsibility, is spending time in Sagittarius, the sign of the philosopher, and it's occupying the sector of your chart that rules your connections and social circle. Saturn is a super mature, conservative vibe, so you have not been fucking around when it comes to choosing whom you will and won't cultivate friendships with.

When Jupiter and Saturn clash on March 23, relationships that haven't been deep enough will demand your attention. If conflict doesn't pop up in your relationships, you might find that Jupiter and Saturn manifest their energies in the form of mental stress about complicated emotional issues, like grief or even intimacy. Not every problem can be solved by thinking things through, and sometimes you just have to feel your feelings. Some people think you Aquarians are unfeeling—this is definitely not true, and anyone who does think this about Aquarians will learn a lesson today!

One of the tricky things about today is the fact that the Sun, the planet of the ego, will meet with the planet of the mind, Mercury. People won't be very flexible in their way of thinking. This isn't a day to try to convince someone of anything—they'll have to get there themselves.

On March 25, Saturn stops in the sky and begins retracing its steps through the zodiac. During this Saturn retrograde, you will be reexamining the friendships you've made and, in general, the dreams you've dreamt up since last August, 2015. This is a time to review the social structures in your life and deeply reflect on whether they are supporting or hindering you.

The month wraps up with Mercury connecting with both of your ruling planets, on March 29 and 31. On March 29, Mercury makes an easy aspect with Saturn, which will create such a strong vibe around communication and connection. On the professional front, mentors and authority figures will be super open to hearing you out. Otherwise, this is just an awesome time to express yourself and socialize.

On March 31, Mercury meets Uranus, which is such a great combination. Mercury is the planet of the mind and of logic, and Uranus is thought by many to be the higher octave of Mercury, representing total genius. When these two planets come together, your mind will be incredibly sharp. Surprising news will come your way today— don't worry, even if it's crappy, you will have the ability to work out pretty much any problem under this combination!

March will be complex, Aquarius. Lots of changes are coming, especially around how you express yourself and what you find valuable. You're the genius of the zodiac, and you're used to having everything under control— eclipses have a way of taking that control away. Can you go with the flow? I think so: You can do anything, Aquarius!
