March 2007 Forecast

Key Events:  

Full Moon 3/03/2007 (Eclipse)

New Moon 3/18/2007 (Eclipse)

Mercury Direct 3/08/2007

The lunations this month are particularly significant because they're also eclipses, which give them even more punch.  New Moon eclipses start something that will be an issue until the next Full Moon eclipse six months later and, as this implies, a Full Moon will complete something that began six months prior.  The Full Moon on March 3rd is in Virgo, your Natural 7th House of relationships, and should yield a culmination of some sort in this area.  This issue began almost six months ago (September 22 to be exact) with the last New Moon eclipse.  That one fell in your Natural 8th House of intimate relationships, death and regeneration, and other people's money so probably had something to do with one of those areas.  Its culmination in the 7th House indicates that a relationship is involved in some way with its resolution. 

The New Moon on the 18th will be in your Sign and will signal a new beginning of some sort, not only because it's also an eclipse, but likewise because it will help launch your Solar Return, especially if your birthday is between March 16 - 22.  (You've probably always suspected that your birthday had some cosmic significance and you're absolutely right.  If you're wondering what this year is going to hold for you, I highly recommend our Solar Return Report, which will give you as many as 30 pages of information on what to expect.) 

You ruling planet, Neptune, is still hanging out in Aquarius, your Natural 12th House, which encompasses your subconscious.  This is very much "home" to Pisces and you're likely to be undergoing some significant long-term growth in this area.  Neptune is in opposition to Saturn, which will help facilitate various reality checks as Saturn is wont to do.  Pisces tend to live in their own world but this might drag you kicking and screaming into the real one in some way or another, perhaps due to something related to your job.  You're probably working harder than ever, yet don't seem to be making any progress.  Saturn tends to have a very sobering influence and since he's retrograde, this is going to be one more thing nagging on your subconscious.  This effect will be especially strong for those with birthdays between March 5 - 15.

Mars is transiting Aquarius, also, which could stir up a few things as well.  The Mars, God of War, and Neptune, King of the Deep, don't necessarily get along too well, so expect something to get your attention during the last half of the month that is likely to have a noticeable effect on your subconscious.  You may find yourself being a little more aggressive in your thoughts, actions and opinions and wonder where it came from.  For most Pisces this will probably be a good thing, since you tend to be a bit too passive and tend toward being a martyr when things aren't going well.  A little more fight at the core level may help you get past any issues you're dealing with these days and take a more assertive attitude toward life in general.  From March 16-19 look out for a surprise or unexpected event of some sort, most likely of a personal nature.

Changes are probably all around you on a personal level, anyway, which undoubtedly will tie into these new insights, whether you initiate them yourself or they're imposed upon you with as much grace as the flu.  As a Mutable sign Pisces usually floats along quite well on the winds of change unless they force you to face something you'd really rather ignore.  As a fish you should be aware that swimming upstream is really not your best course of action, so bear that in mind when you try to resist the inevitable, whether it's high tide or a tsunami. 

There has probably been a fair amount of action in your career the last year or so, more than likely on the good side.  A few opportunities have probably fallen into your lap with little or no effort on your part.  I hope you have taken advantage of these events rather than taking them for granted or, heaven forbid, letting them pass you by.  You have probably also noticed some very real changes in how you interact with your peers and/or how you feel about your vocation.  More than likely you've tuned in with typical Piscean intuition and noticed that there's a lot going on behind the scenes, some of which may not exactly be above board.  Your awareness of these various currents and undertows has probably been somewhat of a rude awakening, but rather than simply responding emotionally, you need to seek to understand them and what your part may be if you feel you've been victimized in some way. 

On the bright side, Venus will be smiling upon your 2nd House until the 18th, which is likely to make you crave luxury a little more than usual.  This could take various forms, from food and drink to clothes or other items that bring you physical or emotional comfort.  If you must buy something electronic, however, I recommend waiting until after March 8 since buying anything electronic or mechanical when Mercury is retrograde is usually a bad idea.

You should notice that something subtle has changed within you by the time this month is over and you can look forward to further development along similar lines in the coming months.
