Scorpio, 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.

You're a very complicated person, Scorpio. You're a Fixed sign (born in the middle of the season), which means you're all about stability. But you're also the sign of death and rebirth, meaning that change is kind of your jam. March brings lots of change, Scorpio: A bunch of planets shift signs, changing the vibe here on earth, and we have two eclipses! Let's take a look at your March:

Two planet shift signs on March 5: Mercury enters fellow Water sign Pisces, and your traditional ruling planet, Mars, enters Sagittarius. You'll feel these changes take place in two of your favorite areas: your cash flow and your love life! Your creativity and self-esteem will also get a nice boost. Warrior Mars in Sagittarius will invigorate you to work out some financial concerns, and Mercury in Pisces will inspire communication between you and the people with whom you like to party, create, flirt, or generally have a good time.

Fellow sensitive and psychic Water sign Pisces occupies the sector of your chart that rules joy—whether that means frolicking in graveyards and summoning demons or taking selfies in your leather undies. Pisces, the sign of limitlessness and interconnectedness, reps the area of your chart that rules parties, flirting, and romance, create art and any hobbies. Children also fall in this sector of the zodiac (I guess because they bring joy, or something?). Anyway: Lots of focus will be on Pisces this month, which means how (and with whom) you have fun with will be a topic of interest. In addition to Mercury entering Pisces on March 5, we have a new moon solar eclipse in Pisces on March 8, and Venus enters Pisces on March 12.

The solar eclipse in Pisces on March 8 will mark a big shift in your life around having fun. Your sources of inspiration will shift, your taste in lovers may change, and, if you haven't been having enough fun lately, this eclipse will push you to party. Eclipses have a super intense energy about them, so having one take place in such a celebratory part of your chart will certainly be interesting. Expect to learn something new about how you like to enjoy yourself and about the people you like to create with, make love to, or nurture.

Sexy Venus, the planet of love and money, enters Pisces on March 12, which will definitely create a kinder, more balanced vibe around the themes you dealt with during the eclipse. Pisces is very gentle and empathetic, and Venus picks up a very understanding and giving vibe while in this sign.

The spring equinox arrives on March 20 when the Sun enters Aries, illuminating the sector of your chart that rules your daily routine. This includes your day job and also your health and habits, so expect to work with these themes over the next month. You'll find yourself focusing even more on this area of your life when communicator Mercury enters Aries the next day, making this a great time for you to talk with someone about your health or to meet with your boss about making your workload less challenging—either by hiring more helping hands or allowing you to alter your schedule to something more manageable. Mercury is all about details; when it's in energetic Fire sign Aries, it's a great time to get organized.

On March 20, Venus meets Neptune in Pisces, bringing some confusion to your world. Not much will make sense today, but take comfort in the fact that it's not supposed to. Neptune is the planet of fog, fantasy, and mystification. Mixed messages in romantic or creative relationships are definitely something to watch out for today— Neptune can bring out liars or people who are thoughtless and flaky. Venus is the planet of love and affection, and when dreamy Neptune is around it, it's easy for people to get swept off their feet. Enjoy today's whimsical vibe, but spend the day with people you trust.

March 23 is one of the most intense days of the month! Jupiter challenges Saturn, the Sun meets Mercury, and we have a full moon lunar eclipse in Libra.

Let's talk about Sun and Mercury meeting in Aries first, since my advice for you is short and sweet: Don't offer any excuses today, because people will not really care for anything other than their own opinion. Also, because this will be occurring in the sector of your chart that rules "everyday" issues, be mindful of your health and your responsibilities and try not to let your ego get in your way. If you feel yourself trying to be right about something on this day, know that you're being influenced by the fact that the planet of the ego, the Sun, is sitting right with the planet of logic, Mercury.

The planet of abundance, Jupiter, is currently in down-to-earth Virgo, and the planet of commitment, Saturn, is in the sign of the free spirit, Sagittarius. This is a lot of complicated energy to contain, and, to top it off, these two will square each other on March 23. Squares are tense aspects that force things into action. You'll feel this energy manifest in your finances, around your self-esteem, and in your social life. If your friends don't think you're cool enough to sit with them at the lunch table, you'll learn about it today—or, possibly, if you're miles ahead of your circle in terms of being responsible, confident, and stable, you might decide it's time to go.

Also on March 23, we have the lunar eclipse in Libra, which will be illuminating a very sensitive and private sector of your chart. You Scorpios are famously mysterious, and under this eclipse you will be in an even more solitary mood. If you haven't been resting enough, it will bite you in the butt during this eclipse. You're extremely psychic and sensitive to the vibes around you during this time; take care of yourself by spending today in a quiet, private place where you can find balance—which is one of Libra's key words.

Saturn stations retrograde on March 25! Like Mercury, Saturn also goes retrograde, retracing its steps through the zodiac. Saturn rules commitments and hard work, and its retrograde will find you rethinking these themes—especially in the realm of money and other material issues that came to the fore starting back in August, 2015.

If you feel like things have been dragging on the financial end, you have grumpy Saturn to blame, since it's been hanging out in the financial sector of your chart. But, don't worry— Saturn might be a drag, but this planet leaves hefty rewards when it's through with you. Think of Saturn as a really grumpy, rich grandpa: He might not be very affectionate or warm, but when he says you've done a good big, you know he means it. And he'll leave you a fat inheritance, too.

On March 26, both of your ruling planets get some action. The Sun trines your traditional ruler, Mars, and Venus makes a helpful connection with your modern ruler, Pluto. Whenever a sign's planetary ruler does something, we know that sign will feel it in their lives— and you'll have two such aspects happen today, so the 26th is definitely a day to mark in your calendar!

The Sun represents vitality, so it receiving good vibes from energetic Mars will certainly boost your sense of wellbeing as well as your confidence. You'll especially feel this burst of energy around your health and wellbeing, as well as at work, around your chores, and even in terms of your finances.

When Venus meets with the lord of the underworld, Pluto, the vibe will be super confident and sexy. Venus rules both money and love, so the vibe could manifest either financially or romantically (or both ways!) today. When Venus connects with Pluto through a harmonious aspect, the vibe is super sexy and confident. Lots of juicy information will come your way today.

March brought tons of change, but as a Fixed sign, you'll find a way to stay solid through it all. This month, focus on getting all your shit in order: Finish all your chores, kick some habits, get healthy, and figure out your work situation. Next month, when the Sun enters your opposite sign, Taurus your world will be all about your relationships, and, as one of the most passionate signs in the zodiac, you will totally lose interest in the boring, mundane stuff— so get it all sorted out now! And enjoy the beginning of spring!
