The Sun is already strolling through your sign with numerous planets on their way, indicating this will be a very active and interesting month for you. It is also interesting to note that Venus and Mercury are traveling in close proximity this month in an on-going conjunction, which will blend their energies as they pass the various other planets along the way and those to which they throw an aspect of some kind. This starts out with a bit of an itchy aspect with Jupiter the first week of the month. Jupiter is currently hanging out in your Natural 11th House of groups, friends, organizations, coworkers, and hopes & wishes. The good news is that none of these planets is what you'd consider a bad actor. Jupiter and Venus, both, are considered benefic and often bring good luck; Mercury is somewhat neutral. This is also as good of place as any to note that from the beginning of March through well into June, Jupiter will sextile Uranus. A sextile generally means an opportunity and with Jupiter being the planet of expansion and good luck, this indicates that you're likely to find favor of some description during this time with some of those 11th House people in your life. If you're needing a favor or want to advance yourself in some way, more than likely you'll be able to do so during that time, so mark it on your calendar.

Putting them together in this particular position, exactly one sign apart, may indicate no more than an annoyance or two coming your way from one of those entities in your 11th House. During this time Venus and Mercury are in your 12th House of dreams, inspiration and spiritual development. This is one of your favorite places since Pisces rules this House on the Universal scale. With this lovely couple in that particularly place on your chart, especially as they move toward Neptune, your Sign Ruler, you're likely to be quite content and peaceful. Then, as the old '50s song so adequately expressed it, "Along came Jones." More than likely a friend or some group with whom you're associated calls you up and needs a favor or wants to put you to work in some way that you absolutely know through your strong intuitive powers is going to absolutely blast away that good mood like the effect your phone ringing in the middle of the night would have on a pleasant dream. This is not likely to be serious and you may just shrug it off as typical, which is probably your healthiest approach.

You're going to like this next one a lot, I suspect. The next stop on the Venus - Mercury Tour de Zodiac will be with Neptune. There couldn't be a combination or location more suited for Pisces than this one. This will certainly get you past that annoyance early on and there's a good chance this one will even be in force if and when the other happens and you'll be so blissful you won't even be bothered by it. Between March 3 - 13, give or take a day or so, this trio will be in a nice, cozy bear hug in Aquarius, your 12th House. This should be a time of literal pleasant dreams, a high degree of spirituality, and sense of being in touch with that other dimension that you prefer so much to normal existence. If you've been stressed out lately and could benefit from some R&R, this time is definitely the time for which to plan it.

The only thing you probably shouldn't do during this time is something that requires a high degree of logic, such as doing your taxes. That is not the time for an enhanced imagination and sense of dreamy contentment as it could ultimately result in a rather unpleasant encounter with the IRS. If your birthday falls during this same period, you are very likely to have a very pleasant and interesting year, though it may have the same downside of not being very conducive to reality. No matter how much you like that realm of existence, you know from experience that ignoring the real world usually has a price that you usually don't exactly enjoy paying. Thus, it will require some conscious efforts on your part to balance it out, but you'll have the opportunity to really advance yourself spiritually and have numerous pleasant excursion via your imagination. Also be warned that you'll probably drive those around you to drink during that time, as evidenced by Saturn's presence in that venue, i.e. your 7th House of relationships. Life is full of opposition, as you're certainly aware, but the good news is that the highs should be really high in the coming year if this aspect is reflected on your solar return.

Just before our happy pair arrives in your home territory, the New Moon will throw down the welcome mat on March 7th. Again, if your birthday is within a day one way or the other of that date, this will be on your solar return as well and will herald the arrival of a new phase in your life. Right around that same time, between March 4 - 14, the Sun will pass Uranus, meaning the planet, of course, not something of a more personal nature that would be physically impossible. :-) Uranus is the planet of change, surprises, and unexpected events. Thus, anything could happen during this time and since it's occurring in Pisces, your 1st House of personality, there's no telling what it could be. Since Uranus is so unpredictable, there's no way of knowing whether this will be good, bad, or indifferent, but this is likely to be a time when you're bombarded with one surprise after another. In other words, your life will be anything but boring during this time.

Then between March 11 - 18, the dynamic duo, Venus and Mercury, will throw a nice sextile to Pluto. I guess it's a bit of a stretch to call any aspect to Pluto "nice" but hopefully that's what it will be. Pluto slipped into your 11th House of groups and such toward the end of January. Pluto is the Zodiacal Molly Maid who has the job of rooting out any dirt or hidden issues that have been figuratively swept under the rug. However, since Venus and Mercury will be doing a good job of enhancing communications in very positive ways, if there's something from the past relative to friends or organizations that requires resolution, this is a very favorable aspect to accomplish that.

The next aspect our inner planet friends will throw will be a nice, friendly trine to Mars, who by then will be in fellow Water Sign, Cancer. Cancer is your 5th House of creativity, children and love affairs. Mars is quite subdued in this sign as his fiery nature becomes somewhat water-logged. Nonetheless, he's likely to generate some energy, including perhaps some steam, in that area. If you've been trying to communicate something to someone or something in your 5th, then this is probably a good time to do so. You'll be perceived in a very favorable way and you're likely to be able to express yourself clearly as well. Thus, if you're trying to put together a creative project, get your children to clean their room, or get the apple of your eye to have dinner with you, this is the time to go for it, or forever hold your peace. Or at the least, don't blame the planets if you procrastinate this opportunity away.

Between March 13 - 20 there may be some issues with your relationships. As noted earlier, Saturn is over there in your 7th House and he's not exactly Mr. Sponge Bob Square Pants. However, the good news is that the Mercury - Venus couple is doing a nice job enhancing your ability to communicate in a favorable way, so this is as good of time as any to work out any kinks (as opposed to kinkiness, though that might work, too) in your interactions with those close to you. Remember that the 7th House comprises all one-on-one relationships, not only significant others, meaning close friends and relatives and business partners are also included.

So that's the good news. Up until now I've avoided talking about the stuff out there that's less pleasant. You know the Universe, it's always balanced, so if there's a whole bunch of good stuff, there's bound to be some that's not so good. In this case, it's an opposition between Mars and Pluto that starts out at the first of the month and then gets progressively worse as the month continues. These two are definitely known as bad actors. Mars is all about aggression and Pluto is all about power and digging up secrets. Fortunately, as previously noted, Mars is somewhat subdued in Cancer, but he's still Mars and when he's in cahoots with Pluto it's usually going to start something. This action is going on between your 11th House of groups and your 5th House of children and love affairs. If there's anything hidden that needs to come out, or if someone with whom you're associated is on a power trip, a confrontation of some sort is likely. But that's just the beginning. Between March 18 - 25, the Sun gets into the act, throwing not only more light on the subject, but making it even more personal since the Sun is in Pisces for part of this time, i.e. until March 21 when he moves into Aries. The Sun will be just about in the middle and thus form a T-Square, throwing more conflict or a crisis or two into whatever tug-o-war is occurring between those groups and your kids, lovers, creative efforts, ego, or whatever. If your birthday falls those last few days that the Sun is in Pisces, this is going to be on your solar return and be an ongoing theme for the year. Remember you still will have the benefit of that Mercury - Venus pair, but nonetheless the year is not going to be a complete bed or roses.

The plot thickens even further with the Full Moon on the 21st of the month. This will serve to convert that T-Square to a Grand Cross. At least the Sun is out of your Sign and into Aries, but then Aries is your 2nd House of possessions, finances and pleasures. With the Sun in Aries, the Moon in Libra, Mars in Cancer and Pluto in Capricorn, which are all Cardinal signs, this is going to generate a lot of energy. If you can imagine four people who were all strong leaders but have entirely different personalities in a room, each with their own idea of how to run things, you can begin to figure out what this means. Libra is your 8th House of sex, transformation and other people's resources. Thus, for the ensuing month you're likely to have to deal with some financial or possibly sexual issues, or any other combination of 2nd and 8th House matters. If this Full Moon hits your solar return, well, you guessed it, it will be a theme for the year. So the bottom line is all that Mercurian - Venusian bliss is likely to have some competition. Fortunately the Moon moves quickly so the Grand Cross will be relatively short-lived. The Sun will also let go of Pluto by around the 25th, but will persist with that square to Mars until into the first week of April. This means any conflicts between your 2nd house of finances and pleasures and your children, lovers or creativity will continue during that time, but as April progresses, it should be resolved.

And the month isn't even over yet, but the worst part is at least fading. Between March 22 - 26, the Sun will be in quincunx to Saturn, which is likely to necessitate an adjustment of some sort between your finances (or possibly your pleasures) and your relationships. The good news on this one is that in about a month it should work out just fine. The parting shot from Mercury and Venus will be when they pay a visit to Uranus between March 24 - 29, much as they did Neptune earlier in the month. This three-way conjunction, or stellium, all in your 1st House of personality, is likely to bring about another change or surprise. As stated earlier, Uranus is pretty unpredictable, but Mercury and Venus should be a positive influence. If your birthday is during this period, the effect will be very strong, and as noted earlier, likely to reflect on you for the entire year. If there's something about yourself or your life that you want to change, this is the time to do it. The Universe will definitely be in your court and handling various issues for you to facilitate change. There's a lot going on this month, but you have plenty of astrological assistance out there to help you through any rough spots and more than likely your attitude will be positive, which is always a good start.
