Leo Horoscope for the month of March, 2011

At this time you may be preoccupied with personal introspection and transformation. You may have been noticing some old, out dated feelings or values that you are ready to let go of, Leo. If life and work keep you feeling too busy to spend the time needed for self growth and connecting to your feelings, you may actually get frustrated or depressed, so try to slow down and find the time for reflection. A vacation or retreat right now would be great, but if you aren’t able to do that, try getting outside and taking a hike. At this time you may have a very difficult time focusing on work and you will want to spend time daydreaming and having fun, but make sure that you don’t overindulge in food, alcohol and lazy behavior. You might even feel you need to shed yourself from a relationship but you may not want to do that impulsively now. Give it a little time if you can, because you will be thinking more clearly in a few weeks and you may regret it. You may want to consider discussing what has been on your mind and the relationship in question with someone you consider a role model or father-figure. If you take the time you need to relax, have fun and take time for self-reflection, you should be able to keep a clear enough head to plug away at work and lay the ground work for becoming an even better you! There are actually a lot of things working with you at this moment, even though you may not notice them. Your thoughts have been fairly serious and after the first week of March, you will be thinking quite clearly, but don’t get hung up obsessively thinking about something. If you find yourself going over the same thought or idea and it is distracting, try analyzing why you are unable to move on. Maybe the root of the obsession will help you with your current need for rebirth, but don’t let it keep you from moving forward. Generally speaking, if you listen to your instincts and add some common sense, take responsibility for yourself and your actions, you will come out of this month with a sense of identity that you are ready to work on and be proud of.

Cancer Horoscope for the month of March, 2011

Cancer, have you recently had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and a need to look for answers to the big questions in life; or have you found a hobby or interest you want to explore? This is a great time for digging in deep and studying things you are interested in or traveling to expand your horizons. This trend will continue for the first half of March and there are a lot of energies in place right now helping you. Life has been moving pretty smoothly lately - fight the urge to be lulled into the idea that things will continue to be this easy. There is a feeling of being caught between wanting to take on more responsibility and wanting to let go of responsibilities that are weighing you down. Remember that with freedom comes responsibility, so don’t lose site of the things you have been working for. Discipline is being tested right now and part of that test is finding out if you can stick to the plan when the pressure is off. This is the time to buckle down and make sure that work is getting done and you are prepared for the unexpected. This is also an important time to evaluate what you have been doing and looking at how you can plan to push on to success. The first week or so of March will be favorable for communication, clear thinking and clearing your desk of those work projects that need to be completed. As the month progresses, you will get busier and communication and cooperation may become more difficult, so don‘t lose the opportunity to get as much done as possible. Also, make sure to pay attention if you seem to be obsessing over a thought or idea. Not only could this be distracting for accomplishing your goals, but you may try cramming the point down other people’s throats without realizing it. Instead, take a quiet moment to examine the thought or idea it’s self. Is your subconscious trying to tell you something? This is also a relaxing time for emotional cancers in a relationship since love seems to be balanced and stable and there is a realistic sense of the other person in your life. If you have wanted to discuss something with your significant other, now may be a good time; however try to be aware of any power struggles that may arise. You cannot force someone else to do what you want and you will not appreciate them trying to control you. If power plays arise, you will need to examine the root of the problem, and if it is a person of authority, be careful. Now is a good time to start an exercise routine like yoga – something that helps strengthen the mind-body-spirit connection because balance is key for you this month.

Gemini Horoscope for the month of March, 2011

This has been a time of pressure and for the last few weeks you have been dealing with some tensions that may be causing you to feel restless and ready for a change. A lot of this tension may be presenting at work or in your community, where it may feel like everyone and everything has been working against you lately. You may feel as if your brain has been working overtime, yet you can’t stay focused on anything productive, even though there has been a lot to do. You are accustom to a high level of mental activity, so maybe you haven’t noticed how irritable you seem, but your subconscious aggressions can cause you to have more disputes with others than usual if you are not in touch with your actions and why you are doing what you are doing. Picking your battles will make this month’s transits less stressful. Believe it or not, what you are facing right now can really help you in the long run if you can compromise on the small stuff and show those around you that you can be a leader in the work place and your community. Your natural ability to see both sides of a situation should help you to keep from being too attached to your own ideas. If you have a significant other, or start a relationship right now, you will find that things are easy going and you can find a lot of pleasure being together. There are many helpful influences right now and pressures at work and with others will start lightening up toward the end of the month when communication starts to flow more easily. There is a mercury retrograde that starts on the 30th of March, but that isn’t all bad; some time for mental reflection can be very useful after all the brain activity you have been faced with. Try to keep your balance this month so that you can start laying the ground work for any career advancements you may be dreaming of or working toward.

Taurus Horoscope for the month of March, 2011

You have been fairly social with friends and groups that you are involved with and this will continue for the first half of the month with a flurry of activity and lots of calls and communication. You will have an ability to cooperate and will learn a lot about yourself and how you fit in with others. Your mind is sharp and communication is favored allowing for a lot of positive outcomes with groups and friends. You may be asked to step up and lead at this time, don’t shy away since this may be an opportunity for you to really get something done. Be careful, however, not to overindulge in fattening or rich foods and try not to avoid responsibilities in favor of pleasure and daydreaming. It’s OK to enjoy yourself, surround yourself with beauty, and love affairs will be favored, but don’t let yourself slip into the illusion that if you ignore it, it will go away. You are feeling very generous now and love affairs started at this time may feel especially romantic and selfless, and as long as you can stay realistic, this is a wonderful time for relationships. As the month passes, you are feeling more introspective. This is a good time for evaluating the previous year and taking stalk of what you have accomplished. If you find you have childish or outdated behaviors that no longer serve their purpose, it is time to let them go. As the mood becomes a bit more serious at the end of the month, make sure to start buckling down to get the work done. As you prepare for your solar return, you have a lot of influences coming up that will allow you to lay the ground work for positive change in your life for the next few years. Don’t let this subtle energy pass you by without taking advantage of the opportunity to begin a new chapter of your life.

Aries Horoscope for the month of March, 2011

Spring is always a time of rebirth for you, Aries, but this spring is going to be particularly full of energy and a desire for change. Your mind will be buzzing with thoughts and inspiration for a new you in this upcoming year and you may be considering ways to improve yourself or your situation. Although you will want to talk about all your exciting ideas with friends, also make sure you take time to sit quietly with your thoughts for contemplation. I know that this isn’t your strong suite, so maybe some moving meditation such as Yoga or Tai chi will help you collect your thoughts. If you have been having any tensions with friends or associates, there may be an opportunity this month to smooth things over, as you will have moments of positive energy and the ability to impress others at the beginning of the month. Just make sure to be honest with others and try not to put on a show. Let your natural enthusiasm for your new venture shine through; you never know when a friend may be able to lend a hand or have a good suggestion. Try not to get overwhelmed when you think of all the work that may be ahead to accomplish all you want to do. Work at trying to keep a positive attitude and balancing your current responsibilities with your desire to socialize and daydream about the future. As long as you are getting your work done, make sure to find some time to play; especially if your recreation involves something physical that can help to expend some of the energy that will be building up right now. You have a real need to shake up your routine and break away from the norm. This may help you with this personal change you want to make, but make sure that you are taking risks and making changes that will be positive and healthy, not risky just for the thrill of it. Also, try to get any technical work or contracts completed and signed before the 30th, as Mercury goes retrograde on this day and things could get a bit muddled after that.

February 6, 2011

Although we will continue to feel the influence of Saturn in retrograde until June, the trine to the Sun that has been making the Saturn influence particularly uncomfortable, is finally starting to separate today. Any projects or changes that you began on Wednesday’s new moon should have plenty of energy to carry it through.

As a general rule, I find that most projects should be started on or as close to the full moon as possible, but this full moon was especially useful because of the Sun-Mars conjunct that has been forming and lending its energy. There is also a great deal of help with Mars trine Saturn helping to push you forward at a steady pace instead of the sporadic, hard to handle energy that can sometimes be associated with Mars.

One of the good things about this long Saturn retrograde is the opportunity for reflection and self evaluation. There is not any Neptune influence causing you to daydream about what might be; no rose colored glasses to cloud your outlook. This is a good time to honestly listen to any gut feelings about what you need to clean up or finish in your life that will allow you to go forward in June when Saturn goes direct again.

February 2, 2011

I had a great talk last night with a dear friend of mine about the pressure that Saturn has been applying in her life lately. She has been dealing with career, relationships and priorities for months and she said she was beginning to feel like it was never going to end! As I have been looking through daily transits, I had to admit that everything seems to have been setting off Saturn lately, which unfortunately has been in retrograde, just in case things haven’t been difficult enough.

Now, I know that different people have varying degrees of difficulty with transiting Saturn, but one thing that I wanted to remind her of, and anyone else that seems to feel as if the universe has been handing them one difficult situation after another, is that this is a time for reflection. Take a good look at what can be let go of and how your life can be simplified. Sometimes the universe (and especially Saturn) puts just the tests and blocks in our way that we need in order to remind us of what is important and what we need (or don’t need) to truly create the lives that will make us happy.

If you have been sad, depressed or full of self doubt, thinking that maybe you have headed down the wrong path or are not accomplishing what you wanted to in life, remember that you are always exactly where you need to be in order to learn the lessons you must and move forward. Pick yourself up and remember that this too shall pass. Try to listen to what your inner voice is telling you and start letting go of what is not necessary. Once things are more simplified, your Saturn transit will be more constructive and less destructive – the harder you fight this change, the more obstacles will be put in your path so figure out what the flow is and go with it.
