Prepare for a busy month full of deep dives, soul searching, and lots of feeling. Yep, March 2024 is all about tapping into your intuition, exploring your inner world, and letting your feelings be your guide. Sort of. Actually, March is a mixed bag, astrologically speaking—Venus & Mars both join the Pisces party, just as Mercury & the Sun move out of Pisces and into Aries. That’s normal astrology. However, the pièce de résistance—aka the not-so-normal celestial event that’s sure to cause a furor on TikTok—is the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Libra.
That’s right, eclipse season begins March 25, drawing your attention to the imbalance of power, decisiveness, and/or compromise in the area of your life ruled by Libra. (Don’t worry though, I’ve got your Eclipse Season survival guide covered.) Before that, Mercury enters Aries and you feel inspired to communicate your ideas with passion and conviction starting March 10; and that same day brings a new opportunity for your dreams with the Pisces New Moon. Venus then enters Pisces on March 11, sweetening the mood and encouraging you to connect with others on a deeper level. (This is a great time to nurture relationships and let your guard down, btw.)
The Sun enters Aries on March 19, marking the start of a new astrological year. This is a time for fresh beginnings and taking risks. However, confidence, energy, and gumption may be a little lacking, as Mars enters Pisces on March 22. (Mars is low-key sleepy in Pisces). The astrology of this third month of 2024 ends with a full moon lunar eclipse in Libra on March 25. This eclipse is a powerful time for letting go of unwanted, unskillful patterns of codependency or imbalance.
It doesn’t sound like a ton of astrology (or maybe it does?), and that’s because those are just the major transits happening this month. Here are the rest:
March 3 – Venus squares Uranus in Taurus
March 4 – Mars sextiles North Node in Aries
March 8 – Mercury conjoins Neptune
March 9 – Mars squares Uranus in Taurus
March 10 – Mercury sextiles Pluto
March 17 – Sun conjoins Neptune
March 21 – Venus conjoins Saturn in Pisces
Sun sextiles Pluto in Aquarius
March 24 – Venus in Pisces sextiles Jupiter in Taurus
Now do you see what I mean when I say it’s a busy month? There’s SO MUCH astrology happening in March, it’s low-key blowing my brain. Maybe it’s doing the same to you—maybe it’s even low-key scaring you and making you wonder if it’s at all possible to just stow away in your room and hide under the bed covers all month. (That depends on whether you work remotely or not, tbh.)
In reality, there’s no reason to fear March (or any other month), because astrology is just a mirror reflecting the themes and patterns going on on earth in your day-to-day life. It doesn’t control it—it really doesn’t even provoke it—it just reflects it. While also occasionally creating moments of tension & opportunity with which you can do what you wish; things shift and change, and that’s part of life, whether you study, believe in, or are obsessed with astrology or not. OK? OK. Enough sage wisdom & philosophy. Let’s get onto the good stuff, the horoscope stuff. (They’re loaded horoscopes, too!)
With all the planetary shifts and ingresses, transits and lunations happening, it’s important that you read / listen to the horoscope for your Rising Sign. Because it’s your Rising Sign that determines the placement of the houses in your birth chart, and those house placements determine where March’s astrology is happening for Y-O-U. OK? OK. So, without further ado:
