Gemini, March 2018

All full moons are sensitive, emotional, and tiring, but this one especially so. You’ll be in a nostalgic mood, reflecting on your childhood and your family relationships. You’ll also find yourself working out issues around where you want to live and how comfortable you feel at home, and focusing some more emotional subjects, like boundaries, safety, and security. You put on a brave face for the world, Gemini, but you’re quite sensitive, and during this full moon, you’ll want to curl up with a loved one at home, feeling safe and able to be vulnerable and real.

Fortunately, some luck will flow during this full moon: On the same day, lovely Venus connects with abundant Jupiter, which will be especially beneficial for your professional life or any responsibilities you have to take care of. Your planetary ruler Mercury will connect with Jupiter on the next day, March 2, bringing some exciting opportunities your way. You’ll feel a boost to your imagination and creative abilities on March 4, when the Sun meets dreamy Neptune in Pisces. This is also a fantastic day to connect with friends and network, thanks to Mercury and Venus meeting in Pisces as well.

Mercury and Venus both enter Fire sign Aries on March 6, finding you excitingly making plans for the future and enjoying your social life. Aries season officially begins with the Sun entering this sign on March 20—which will be another very social day of the month for you, Gemini! Mercury and Venus will meet in the sky again today, inspiring you to have fun, and igniting some intellectual connections between yourself and the people in your life. Another exciting day to watch out for in your social life is March 28, when Venus meets with rebel planet Uranus, finding you mingling with very exciting people. Emotionally, you’ll find yourself eager to break free of whatever rules or restrictions are holding you back from being your authentic self.

Mercury squares off with Saturn on March 11. This will be an inopportune time for communication because, to put it bluntly, everyone will be in a shitty mood. Also on this day, Mars connects with Uranus and the Sun connects with Pluto. Unexpected meetings are likely to take place, and a brilliant a-ha moment will arrive, too .

A new moon in Pisces arrives on March 17, marking the beginning of a new cycle around your career and your reputation. Pisces is a psychedelic, intuitive, and imaginative energy; Pisces knows anything is possible. What is your wildest dream for you career? What do you want to be remembered for? This is a profound time to visualize the sort of rewards and recognition you’re aiming for. If you’re in a witchy mood, taking a magickal bath for success is a great way to work Water sign Pisces’s energy.

Also on March 17, Mars enters Capricorn, igniting one of the most intense sectors of your chart: the part that rules sex, death, and taxes. This is a powerful time for cutting ties. It’s not in your nature to burn bridges, for a few reasons: First off, your ruling planet Mercury is all about travel and thus finds bridges very handy, and you’re also the social butterfly of the zodiac, seeking to make connections, not break them. Alas, sometimes the party has to end—and aggressive Mars in curmudgeonly Capricorn knows this well.

While some endings will be taking place, you’ll also be able to form deeper intimate connections in your sex life or regarding any other kind of relationships you’re engaged in. This is a powerful time to pay off a debt—or to ask for more money. Mars in Capricorn will activate the sector of your chart that rules shared resources, so if you’re looking for someone to invest in you, this is an exciting time.

One of the most crucial days for you this month is March 22, when Mercury goes retrograde in Aries. (It will stay retrograde until April 15.) Mercury retrogrades have a bad reputation—they’re typically associated miscommunications and delays, making this a bad time to start new projects, sign contracts, travel, or make important purchases. Technical difficulties abound while Mercury is traveling backwards through the sky, as do misunderstandings. Aries is a sign that likes to charge ahead, but while Mercury is retrograde in the sign of the fiery ram, it will be hugely detrimental to speak without thinking beforehand.

Expect to run into old friends and to reminisce about the dreams you had for your future long ago. While this isn’t a great time to start new projects, it is a good occasion to pick something back up that you previously had to put on the back burner. Because you are ruled by Mercury, these retrogrades can be especially upsetting for you; however, that needn’t be so. This time period could also be extremely relaxing for you, as you’ll have space to turn your ever-running mind off and slow down.

A full moon in fellow Air sign Libra arrives on March 31, illuminating the romance and creativity sector of your chart. An exciting party may take place, or a date with plenty of fireworks, or perhaps you’ll unveil a new creative project—lots of exciting things will be brought into being. Sure, drama will likely be in the air, since people will be extra emotional and exhausted, but that doesn’t mean this won’t be a thrilling time for you!

Venus will spend most of the month in Aries, finding you busy socializing; however, the mood will shift on March 31 when it enters Taurus. You’ll find yourself in a quieter, shier mood. It’s time to slow down and relax. Taurus is a slow, sensual energy—and Venus’s time in Taurus will be especially intriguing for you, as it’ll activates the sector of your chart that rules hidden things and secrets. You may find you sharing hush-hush information, doing things behind the scenes, or maybe even doing something in private with a lover (or may with money, as Venus rules both cash and love). Perhaps a secret ceremony, affair, promise, or getaway is in order? On a deeper level, Venus in Taurus will find you shedding old skin around what you thought you valued.

Good luck this month, Gemini, and see you in April!
