Astrology Transits for March 2023

Astrology for March 2023:

March brings a radical shift in energies and important transits. The month of March starts off with a conjunction between Venus and Jupiter (3/1) which brings luck to each of the signs in the area of your chart which is ruled by Aries.

As we move forward, we have a Full Moon in Virgo (3/7) bringing full awareness of the changes that we need to make in our routine and lives. It will help to illuminate areas which need a clean-up or overhaul. On the same day, Saturn enters Pisces. Saturn requires structure, discipline, hard work, and loads of effort in the area of your chart which is ruled by Pisces.

The middle of the month offers plenty of opportunity to figure out your vision, plans, and connect with the right people. It is not without challenges, so it will require you to be confident and assertive. Pay close attention on and around the date March 17th as there are 4 transits happening on that date: Sun conjunction Mercury at 26° Pisces, Mercury in Gemini square Mars in Pisces, Venus in Taurus sextile Saturn in Pisces, Venus in Taurus square Pluto in Capricorn.

March 21st, we have the New Moon in Aries which opens a new chapter and new beginning. This New Moon is rather important because in April we will have a Solar Eclipse in Aries on April 20, 2023. A Solar Eclipse is an exponentially strong New Moon. Look towards the new in your life. New doors opening, new opportunities coming in, new partnerships, or new people. In July, the nodal axis will shift to North Node Aries / South Node Libra. Events happening around the New Moon in Aries and Solar Eclipse in Aries hold relevance and are tied to the North Node in Aries nodal change.
