In March, we have two ongoing conjunctions carrying over from February. One is Sun and Saturn and the other is Mars and Venus. If you have planets situated in 15 to 20 degrees in your natal chart, you will be impacted by these conjunctions directly.
Rahu-Ketu Axis in Pisces-Virgo Continues
Of course, we also have the beginning of the eclipses– they continue to occur in the 6/12 axis – Virgo and Pisces. Themes of health, healing, debts, loans, illnesses, disputes, spiritual pilgrimages, foreign moves, letting go of old chapters, new beginnings, and prophetic dreams will continue. Depending on where this axis falls in your chart you can experience this.
Ketu in Virgo will dissolve the sixth house significations without much effort. For instance, if you are type of person that likes to fight you will lose interest in this now. If you were afraid of moving to a far-away land, you may be curious of doing so now. If you were afraid of trusting yourself and taking chances, you may learn to do so now.
Venus transits Aquarius from March 7 till March 31
Mars-Venus conjunction for the first week of March can bring structure and stability in career and money matters.
On March 7, Venus moves into Aquarius. Venus does well in Aquarius and can bring gains, fulfilment of goals, and aid in finding another source of income. It is also good for connecting with old friends and networks.
Mercury transits Pisces from March 7 till March 26
Mercury goes from being Rahu’s sign of Aquarius to sharing space with Rahu in Pisces. Mercury Rahu conjunction is good for speech, making decisions.
But with Mercury in debility, it may bring opportunities to take shortcuts in your dealings, you can experience manipulative behaviour in others at this time. It can also result in miscommunications and unclear thinking.
New Moon in Aquarius in Purva Bhadrapada on March 10
First big event of the month is the new moon in Aquarius in Purvabhadra on Mar 10. This is a powerful new moon cycle with both Jupiter and Saturn strongly placed, and Saturn further boosted with Venus close by.
Its an excellent cycle for networking, business deals, and investments. It can also be a good time to make new friends and meet people that will be instrumental to you. Whatever you undertake now will have a long-lasting impact.
Mars in Capricorn till March 16, Aquarius from March 16 till April 23
Mars remains in its sign of exaltation in Capricorn till Mar 16. Here, it is still sharing space with Venus.
Mars and Saturn aspect Aries, and with Jupiter there, if there was anything that you wanted to start now is the time. A new chapter in life, a new job, new project, new business, new relationship. The start of the chapter can happen very quickly, suddenly, and can ensure longevity too. With dignified placements of all the slow-moving planets, it’s a time that you can achieve success.
Mars then moves into Aquarius where it joins Saturn and Venus making its transit more complex. You can see quick progress in areas that are ruled by Rahu. The momentum will pick up now, though at this time Venus and Saturn are stronger than Mars. So, the Mars impulse will be curbed and allow for a strategic approach to problem solving. Solutions will present themselves to you though you may want to time your action as Mars is moving toward a conjunction with Saturn.
Sun transits Pisces from March 15 till April 13
On March 15, the Sun moves into Pisces. This is normally a good place for the Sun as it performs well in Pisces and is nearing its exaltation sign of Aries. With Rahu’s presence in Pisces, his transit will fuel your ambition – but you can overlook details now, so wait till Mercury leaves Pisces before making big commitments.
With the concentration of energy in Jupiter and Saturn’s signs, it’s a good month to make progress and steer ahead with your goals and ambitions.
Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo in Hasta on March 25
Then, we have the big event of the month – on Mar 25, we have a lunar eclipse in Virgo in Hasta. We have a gandanta debilitated mercury sending its 7th aspect to this eclipse. Here, it is important to listen before expressing yourself, as you can say the wrong things and regret it later.
We also have the 8th aspect of Mars on this eclipse. So, you may be faced with a challenge, you will have the resources to overcome it however. There is a distinct conflict now between your emotions and your rational thinking. The breakthroughs that appear now from the external world will make it easy for you to take a firm direction if you cannot decide how to navigate now. So pay attention to omens at this time.
Hours after this eclipse on March 25th, Mercury moves into Aries promising fresh starts. See what mercury rules in your chart. Here, you may see a new chapter wanting to begin, but due to mercury’s upcoming retrograde transit in early April, you will be going back and forth with beginnings and endings, with a final culmination by May 10th.
Venus enters its exaltation place in Pisces on March 31
At the very last day of the month, on Mar 31st, we see Venus going into Pisces, its exaltation place. Here, Venus joins Sun and Rahu. Venus in Pisces will accentuate learning new subjects, overseas travel, buying luxury items, and spiritual inclinations. This transit will peak next month in April.
Overall, its an eventful month, some unexpected opportunities can show up in your life now.
