Sagittarius, March 2018

Mercury begins its retrograde this month, so plan ahead with your horoscope, Sag!

Welcome to Pisces season! Pisces is a sensitive Water sign, and this time of year always finds you in a soft and nostalgic mood—but you’ll have no time for that at the start of March. The month opens with a full moon on March 1, in Virgo, a sign that gets shit done. This full moon is major for your career; a climax around a professional goal you’ve been striving for will take place.

On the same day, Venus will make a harmonious connection with your planetary ruler Jupiter— as will Mercury on March 2, and the Sun on March 13. Jupiter is the planet of luck, so these easy connections certainly bode well for you, especially in your personal life. Expect a big boost in your intuitive abilities and for easy vibes to flow at home, with your roommates, your family, and your loved ones. Sagittarius, you’re known for having a giant mouth, but a special secret may be shared during this time. Cherish it!

The energy shifts on March 6, when both Mercury and Venus enter fellow Fire sign Aries. Aries season officially begins on March 20, with the Sun’s entrance into this sign as well. This is such an exciting season for you, Sagittarius. You love to party, and lots of fun, flirtation, and reasons to celebrate are on the way. This is a wonderful occasion to connect with your crushes and lovers or, if you’re not in a romantic mood, to make art and enjoy the company of the people you love.

Mercury in Aries says what it wants, whenever it feels like it, and Venus in Aries is confident and sexy. Aries season is certainly your vibe, dear centaur! A date to circle on your calendar is March 20, when Mercury meets Venus—this will be a very exciting day, wonderful for socializing. If you’re looking to hook up with someone, this will be a fantastic time to make it happen. Another great day for creativity and romance is March 28, when Venus meets with Uranus, encouraging people to take risks.

But before you march straight into party time, there’s a new moon, in Water sign Pisces, on March 17. This will bring you an opportunity to reconnect with yourself around your emotional needs: your boundaries, your need for safety, and your desire for privacy. Practically speaking, this is a wonderful time for redecorating your home, doing some energetic cleansing in your space, or even looking for a new place to live. Building an ancestor altar is also a wonderful way to work with the energy.

You love to party, and lots of fun, flirtation, and reasons to celebrate are on the way.

On the same day, Mars enters Capricorn, bringing your focus to money. You aren’t exactly materialistic, Sag, but you do like to party, indulge, travel, and buy more books than you can read. All of that does require cash, as well as the ability to budget. Mars in Capricorn will energize you to manage any issues you have around earning, and it will challenge you to get real about your spending. (This may only happen after a few ill-advised shopping sprees if you’re resisting learning Mars in Capricorn’s lesson about spending strategically!)

Mercury goes retrograde on March 22, in Aries, and stays retrograde until April 15. Old love interests are likely to return for you to either flake on again or make out with again. You may also find yourself ready to delve into a creative project you had to put on the back burner. Mercury retrograde is fantastic for working on old projects—but not so much for starting new ones.

Avoid signing contracts at this time, as the terms may change. Watch out for miscommunications, delays, and technical difficulties. Mercury, the planet of communication, will be on vacation, so don’t expect things to make sense or to feel your sharpest. Go with the flow, take a nap, and don’t push forward—instead, look back.

A full moon in Libra arrives on March 31, lighting up the sector of your chart that rules your social life, so some drama is sure to take place. Full moons are a time of release. You may be reaching the culmination of a creative project that you’ve been working on, or perhaps a climax will take place in one of your romantic relationships. Pay close attention to the dynamics within your friendships. Libra is a sign concerned with justice—have things felt fair lately? Air sign Libra is also an intellectual sign. How deeply are you truly able to connect with the people you’ve been partnering with? These are all key things for you to contemplate at this time.

The month wraps up with Venus entering sensual Earth sign Taurus on March 31, bringing blessings to the sector of your chart that rules your daily routines and rituals, self-care and wellness, and your day job—basically, all the mundane, everyday stuff you need to focus on. You could run into a cutie as you do your chores, and generally, the mood will be easygoing and kind at your place of work. If you’re looking for a new gig, this is a fantastic time to charm your way into one. It’s also a wonderful occasion to edit your wardrobe or give yourself a spa treatment.

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