Events in February may have triggered a need to retreat in March. Aries usual modus operandi is full steam ahead but this month beckons you to slow down and contemplate. It may be time to revisit your spiritual purpose. Has something shaken your beliefs? If so do you need a sacred sojourn? Listen to the Pisceans in your life. The time has come to transcend the daily grind and renew your sense of service to the community. You may also benefit from a vacation in nature, somewhere isolated, or from attending a religious course of study. Clarity comes as Mercury moves into your Zodiac Sign on March 6.

Friends, associates and groups are likely to feature more prominently than usual during March. You can share happy moments with your social circle, join a new group or club or simply seek the support of like-minded individuals. Your hopes, dreams and wishes can come true as the planets align. You may seek the company of friends, but you are also likely to share happy moments with a partner or potential partner. Your ruling planet Venus is exalted in Pisces and the fortunate planet Jupiter is in the marriage sector of your Solar Chart. Therefore this is a month to mate, date and relate.

March is your month to shine in your career. If you have been planning changes or working on a professional project then you are likely to reap the rewards this month. People in high places recognise your worth and support your goals. Four planets in your public sector augurs well for any project that places you in the limelight, particularly one associated with the arts, spirituality or anything connected to the human psyche. You are centre stage this month. In some cases marriage is highlighted, as you adapt to a recent commitment or make plans to make a vow.

It is time for a cultural experience. You need to move out of your comfort zone and broaden your horizons. This could be through travel plans, a new course of study, or a visit to a religious event or a cultural festival. World events are the focus rather than your usual home and family. Personal finances may need to be considered before you take the first step. If travel to a foreign land is within the budget then you can proceed. Otherwise you may like to befriend the infamous search engine Google and look up local international festivals.

Joint resources are on your mind during March. If you are married then it is likely that your shared bank accounts and finances need some attention. If you don’t have common accounts then you are likely to reassess your personal investments. An event may have changed your income in the previous month and now you investigate your nest egg, or how to create one. It is also possible that you are planning to dip into your savings for a big purchase. Two eclipses last month triggered changes and now you are learning to deal with the after-effects.

When it comes to relationships Virgos have high standards. You know what you want in a partner and how you want to be treated. You have a lot of love and loyalty. Whether you realise it or not there is a fine line between having high standards and expecting perfection. This month the planets are aligned in the relationship sector of your Solar chart and you have the chance to focus on the status of your closest relationships. Do you expect too much? If so, how can this change? This is true whether you are in a committed relationship or seeking a partner.

Primping and preening are your thing as you like fashion and style. Vogue-loving Librans are the likely reason why “accessorising” has become a verb. This month you have permission from the planets to go full steam ahead with your grooming rituals. You feel the urge spruce up your wardrobe, sort your accessories and update your shoe collection. You may even go for a complete change of style. This is true no matter what your gender. March is your month for details. Your household is also likely to come under your scrutiny. The health and hygiene of yourself, your loved ones and your pets is highlighted.

Pleasure and creativity are the name of the game this month for Scorpios. As long as you can afford it financially and all is safe then you can let loose and fly. It is time to live in the moment and play. Let young children be your example of spontaneity and free-flowing fun. It is time to reclaim your heart and fill it with joy. Everyone’s idea of fun can be different. What gives you joy? Find the answer to this question and let the games begin. Romance may also be in the air. If you have a partner go with the flow or watch out for someone new.

The time has come to focus on your private life. The start of the year has been busy, almost in “hyper drive”. Now you can draw a breath and focus on your home. You can start a clean-up of your house, work in the garden or relax in a deck chair and pay others to do the chores. As you scrutinise your private needs you may feel the need to make bigger changes such as moving house, or taking a much-needed vacation. This is not so much a trip to a foreign land but rather a holiday at home type experience where you and loved ones can enjoy re-charging the physical and emotional batteries.

The communication sector of your Solar chart is lit up like a beacon during March. This means that you may receive some important news that needs to be dealt with. It is also possible that you are focussing on learning new ways to connect with others. As US businessman Paul J Meyer says: “Communication – the human connection – is the key to personal and career success”. Therefore any new skill that you can attain this month is likely to be a foot in the right direction, personally and professionally even if it forces you out of your comfort zone. March is also a good month to re-examine your investments.

The planets are aligned in the money sector of your Solar Chart this month suggesting that the time has come to develop your confidence through expressing your individual skills and abilities, especially when it comes to turning your innate talents into income. Building a successful career and having disposable income is intimately tied to your feelings of confidence. In other words, when you are connected to your purposefulness, your sense of authority, power and authenticity, cash will flow. This month it time to work out the importance of money and material goods in a realistic and honest way, so you can feel comfortable about yourself and your personal values.

March is significant for Pisceans with five planets in your Zodiac Sign at the start of the month. You are at your most powerful if you can maintain your equilibrium. This is your month to listen to your intuition, share your wisdom and honour your personal successes. You can start the month with some personal development or simply by enjoying your own interests, anything that is soothing and gentle. Your focus can be more self-centred. As the month progresses you are likely to have more energy and can expend more energy in sporting or action-packed interests. A new philosophy may also appeal right now.
