MARCH :

IN THE HEALTH STARS

planets that are a part of this motivational energy are still quite active .
But that doesn ’ t mean you have to participate in the anger and fear , nor does it mean that you must hit the snooze button and hide under the covers for three months . The higher purpose of this spring is to open your value system and beliefs to claim a higher perspective . When outer planets are in a challenging pattern with each other , they act as a catalyst to energize society to speak up for the world they want to create . Uranus in Aries wants to revolutionize everything immediately . Pluto in conservative Capricorn wants change to come in a more traditional , security-oriented way . Jupiter in Libra ideally wishes to expand your philosophy and belief systems so both you and the world can live in a higher balance . The god of thunder is also requiring you to shift the relationships in your life to more accurately include those who resonate with you philosophically , and release those people who are going in a direction different from your own .
Both Venus and Mercury are retrograde during this forecast , so please understand that adaptability and exploring new possibilities is required . Instead of getting caught up in all of the emotional fears that are rising to the surface , know that the world is in the process of choosing the values humanity will live by in the years ahead . Before judging harshly the ideas and values of those who disagree with you , practice listening openly and fairly . Oftentimes , if you are willing to look at the opinions and beliefs of others , you will find a common thread of truth even though the outer expression looks so totally different . Jupiter in mediating Libra helps you find that common thread , thus allowing reasonable compromises and solutions can come forth .

MARCH :

The big astrological news of March is Venus entering her retrograde cycle from March 4 until April 15th . Venus turns retrograde less often than all the other planets , so her revise and renovate cycle is of heightened importance . The goddess of love represents your relationships , money , marriage , art and beauty . Relationships of all types , including your relationship with yourself and your finances , are up for review . It is a bit complicated because

A big challenge ( or motivation ) has been shaking up your life for several months now , and it continues to be present .

most of this going backwards cycle is in Aries , not Venus ’ s favorite sign . It will be common to feel like you want to be in relationship one day , and off on your own the next . Consider where your life has become out of balance between your relationship needs and your individuality needs . Use this cycle to beautify yourself and your possessions . Be willing to assert your values to be in a greater flow with the universe . Venus retrograde will complete her remodeling process in Pisces in April . If you are living in illusion or fantasy , expect your bubble to pop . Positively , Pisces brings forth a higher vision from the intuitive side of your nature , and it adds a spiritual dimension to all type of relationships .
Spring equinox is on March 20 at 3:29 AM PDT . A chart cast now gives a hint about your path in the next three months . A big challenge ( or motivation ) has been shaking up your life for several months now , and it continues to be present . It is as though your buttons are being pushed from multiple directions with the universe rattling the cage to wake you up and set you free . Pluto urges you to let go and trust your clear connection to Creation . Uranus stimulates you to explore new possibilities and meet new people . Jupiter encourages you to expand beyond perceived beliefs and limitations to tap into something larger and better . This high anxiety energy receives help from the asteroid Vesta if you are willing to make quiet time for her . Vesta is in nurturing Cancer now , and she is the goddess who leaves lower order activities of the mundane world to open to higher frequencies in the temple . Because she tended the fire , you may want to sneak away for a fire ceremony to release the past and open to a higher vision .
