Socializing escalates at the start of the month as the Sun, Venus, and Neptune in Aquarius energize friendly gatherings. Your inner activist may make an appearance as well. Then fantasy and spirituality take over mid-month as Venus joins Jupiter and Uranus in imaginative Pisces. The Sun entering Pisces on the 18th heightens the whimsical vibe, but it's also time to focus on your spiritual life, heed your intuitive guidance, and visualize your dreams.
Transit Tales
Mercury transiting into Aquarius on the 10th energizes innovation, technology, and brainstorming. Discussing your vision for the future can bring some unexpected insights. Group discussions are favored, too.
In the romance arena, Venus enters Pisces on the 11th and conjuncts expansive Jupiter on the 16th, which heightens the idealism in relationships -- and the temptation to get swept away by fantasy. It also favors using your imagination for artistic inspiration. Globally, this influence helps us see the Divine connectivity of all living things.
Planets in Motion
Mars continues its retrograde travels (through March 9), making it difficult to initiate new projects. Focusing on improving the ones you've already started will strengthen your direction.
Saturn is also Retrograde (through May 29), which produces some backtracking as well. It's time to review your attitudes about commitment, work, boundaries, and goal-setting. Taking care of unfinished tasks will bring a sense of completion -- and clear the way for new opportunities to enter your life.
Lunar Magic
The New Moon in Aquarius on the 13th favors the launch of activities involving groups, technology and humanitarian efforts. It especially favors networking for personal and professional opportunities. Jupiter casts an expansive glow over the Full Moon in Virgo on the 28th, which energizes health-related activities, work opportunities, spiritual endeavors, and philanthropy.
