The March 2024 Lunar Eclipse in Libra marks the beginning of eclipse season.
Eclipse season is when things “happen” – the universe sets the stage for interesting developments and unpredictable twists and turns. All of these are designed to help us align with our life path and goals.
Never, ever be afraid of a solar eclipse. Life sometimes unfolds in mysterious ways, but in the grand scheme of things, it all makes sense.
March, Energy transfer from Aquarius to Pisces. We are still recovering from the intense Aquarius season. Not only are we experiencing the first Aquarius season with Pluto in the sign, but the Aquarius planet is forming quite a tense square to Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus.
While we’re still dealing with some Aquarius/Taurus squares at the beginning of the month, the rest of March has a completely different vibe. Things feel less dramatic; we feel less trapped and ready to move on.
March 20, 2024 Sun enters Aries, marking the beginning of a new astrological year. Just like people have birthdays, the earth also has birthdays. Now is the time to hit the “reset” button on a collective level and embrace the fresh energy of new beginnings.
Another highlight of March is Applying the conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus. At the beginning of March, Jupiter and Uranus were 8° apart, and by the end of the month, they were even closer, only 3° apart.
The anticipation is getting more and more exciting! Pay attention to the themes emerging during this time – they will peak later in April.
March 3, 2024 – Venus square Uranus
March 3, 2024 Venus (Aquarius 19°) Square Uranus (at 19° Taurus). This is a rebellious aspect that can bring disruption to those areas of our lives that we don’t normally like to have disruption, such as relationships or finances.
However, as Venus and Uranus receive each other, they support each other in finding creative ways to make things work.
Venus square Uranus can inspire us to explore unconventional relationship dynamics or try new ways of managing our finances. Squares don’t have to be disruptive if we reframe it as an invitation to do things differently.
March 8, 2024 – Mercury conjunct Neptune
March 8, 2024 Mercury conjunct Neptune 27° Pisces. If you’re into astrology and the healing arts, you’ve probably heard “focus on our dreams” all the time.
Mercury conjunct Neptune in Pisces is a “pay attention to your dreams” transit, so even though you’ve heard it a thousand times before, you really want to pay attention to your dreams now.
Mercury is our personal “translator” and Neptune is our unconscious, so when Mercury conjunct Neptune – especially in Neptune’s home sign of Pisces – we have a unique opportunity to access our unconscious and understand something Important information that we may overlook or otherwise become confused.
If you don’t remember your dreams (and many people don’t), then pay attention to your daydreams. Where does your mind wander when you are alone, taking a bath, or surrounded by water?
March 9, 2024 – Mars square Uranus
March 9, 2024 Mars (Aquarius 19°) Square Uranus (at 19° Taurus). Mars square Uranus is known to be impulsive, even reckless. They usually begin with a tingling or unsettling feeling that forces us to “do something” – anything – Because we simply cannot stay still.
If we are not aware of the deeper drivers behind these urges, they can escalate into an urge to radically change our lives and free ourselves from any real or perceived limitations.
As with all transits—especially tense ones—awareness is key. It’s not always the world that needs to change to fit our ideals of freedom—it’s ourselves.
March 10, 2024 – New Moon in Pisces
On March 10, 2024, we have New Moon at 20° Pisces. The New Moon in Taurus is sextile to Neptune and Uranus. This is an auspicious new moon, full of potential for windfalls and unexpected opportunities.
Thanks to Neptune, our intuition is heightened, while the sextile to Uranus brings innovative ideas and the courage to embrace change.
At the New Moon in Pisces, anything is possible if we open ourselves up and trust the flow of life.
March 10, 2024 – Mercury enters Aries
March 10, 2024 Mercury enters Aries.
Aries is the sign of “less talk, more action”. With Mercury in Aries, our communication becomes more direct, confident, and focused on taking immediate action rather than getting hung up on details or overthinking.
That being said, this is not a typical Mercury transit in Aries. With April about to go retrograde, Mercury will be in Aries for an extended period of time. This means Mercury will spend an unusually long time near Chiron and the North Node, initiating opportunities to revisit and rewrite self-sabotaging thought patterns.
During this time (active until May 7, 2024), we can heal by addressing old wounds and embracing new perspectives that are aligned with our highest potential.
March 11, 2024 – Venus enters Pisces
March 11, 2024 Venus enters Pisces. Venus is rising in Pisces, which means it feels great to be in Pisces, a compassionate sign.
Venus in Pisces is like the proverbial mermaid, diving into the depths of the emotional ocean in search of union with the divine.
As Venus transits Pisces, we are encouraged to embrace compassion, empathy, and spiritual connection in our relationships…and why not, seduce sailors with the mesmerizing melodies of our hearts.
March 20, 2024 – The Sun enters Aries
On March 20, 2024, the sun enters Aries. Happy birthday to all Aries!
The March Equinox is also the beginning of a new astrological year. This is a good time to hit the “reset” button and start over.
Aries season is a time to “just do it” – follow our instincts and take action. If something feels right, it probably is!
March 20, 2024 – Mercury conjunct Chiron
March 20, 2024 Mercury conjunct Chiron Located at 18° Aries. This is the first in a series of 3 conjunctions. The other conjunction occurs on April 15, 2024 at 20° Aries (Mercury retrograde), and the third occurs on May 7, 2024 at 21° Aries.
The Mercury-Chiron transit is an opportunity to examine our wounds and discover their hidden treasures of wisdom and growth.
With Mercury conjunct Chiron, words, thoughts, and memories will trigger old hurts and hurts in us.
When Mercury conjunct Chiron, we are often reminded of something hurtful someone said to us. Parents or siblings who bully us, teachers who undermine our self-confidence, colleagues or peers who make us feel weird or inadequate.
This transition is an opportunity to dig deep into the root causes of our pain and reframe Our understanding of ourselves and our experiences.
March 21, 2024 – Venus conjunct Saturn
March 21, 2024 Venus conjunct Saturn Pisces 12°.
Venus is our subjective lens – our values, preferences, likes and dislikes.
Saturn is the planet of structure and reality. Saturn makes things real, anchoring abstract concepts into tangible form.
Pisces is an imaginative and empathetic sign, inviting us to explore our subconscious and spiritual dimensions.
Venus conjunct Saturn in Pisces invites us to bring our subjective perceptions into tangible reality.
This is a great shift from creating a vision board (“vision” is more of a Jupiter thing) to creating a “mood board.” A mood board is a collage of images, text, and other elements that evoke a specific emotion or feeling, rather than a more rational “vision.”
Your feelings, intuition, and inner desires are often difficult to express in words, but resonance can be found through imagery and symbolism.
March 22, 2024 – Mars enters Pisces
March 22, 2204 Mars enters Pisces.
Mars in Pisces is the quintessential chameleon. He’s still doing Mars things – he’s still taking action, but in a Pisces way.
This means that he will act according to the situation. This means he can easily change his mind or adapt to circumstances.
It’s not that he’s unstable, but from a Pisces perspective, he’s perceptive – he can see how everything is connected – how the flapping of a butterfly’s wings can cause a tornado.
Just like the ocean moves with its currents, let your intuition—not reason or logical narrative—guide your actions.
March 25, 2024 – Lunar Eclipse in Libra
On March 25, 2024, we have Libra 5° Lunar Eclipse.
The Solar Eclipse trines Pluto at 1° Aquarius, giving us the opportunity to delve deeper into our relationship dynamics and change them for the better.
Libra is the sign of relationships and one-on-one connections. At the Libra Full Moon, we may have some epiphanies about our partnerships.
Tango is a two-person dance, and tension can arise when one partner steps on the other’s toes. But the important thing here isn’t that the dance is disrupted, but what it’s trying to tell us about the dynamics of the game.
A good relationship is based on the art of being and working in a “we” narrative without forgetting the two “I’s” that make it up.
A lunar eclipse is a super powerful full moon. Some relationship dynamics may come to a head, requiring us to resolve them with the balance and fairness that Libras are known for.
March 2024 is a pretty long month…but More fun in April 2024. This is when we see a very powerful Solar Eclipse (conjunct Chiron) and the most anticipated Jupiter-Uranus conjunction. Until then, happy March!
