Taurus, March 2018

As tiring as full moons are, again, this one will be blessed by a lovely connection between sweet Venus and lucky Jupiter, which suggests that there will be supportive, easygoing vibes in your partnerships. It will be easy to connect with others on an intellectual level and enjoy the luxuries life has to offer!

March 3 is an exciting day for your social life—chatty Mercury will meet your planetary ruler Venus. It’s a great day to hang out with your friends, but the vibe today is likely to be lazy, thanks to the Sun meeting with hazy Neptune. It’s a perfect day to chill with like-minded people, forgetting your worries. (I can’t legally advise you to smoke some weed, but Neptune is the planet of drugs, so do with that what you will.)

For you, little cow, Pisces season is big for connecting with friends; however, as the month goes on, more planets will enter Aries and activate the sector of your chart that rules rest and solitude, meaning that you’ll find yourself more interested in going to bed than going out. Mercury and Venus both enter Aries on March 6, putting you in a private mood, and Aries season officially begins on March 20 with the Sun following them. Aries is the sign of independence, and you’ll want your space.

Your ruling planet Venus squares off with Saturn on March 13, creating tension within your relationships, especially around communication—specifically, around understanding each other’s values, philosophies, and beliefs. The mood today won’t be cuddly, but you’ll be able to learn some valuable lessons. Even though romance won’t be in the air, people will be eager to understand one another. This is thanks to the Sun, in unity-seeking Pisces, making a harmonious connection with the planet of good luck, Jupiter on the same day.

There’s a new moon in Pisces on March 17, activating the sector of your chart that rules your social life (watch out for the new friends you’ll be making). This new moon will also ask you to get in touch with your hopes for your future. Pisces is a sign that loves to dream—what are your dreams, little cow? Also on this day, Mars enters fellow Earth sign Capricorn, encouraging you to go on an adventure. If you’re in school (or applying to programs) or working on something you want to get published, action planet Mars will boost your energy.

Mercury goes retrograde in Aries on March 22 (and stays retrograde until April 15). This transit will not find you at your sharpest, Taurus. You know how you love taking naps? You’re going to love naps even more for the rest of the month. I would warn you to avoid travel (expect delays!), to watch out for miscommunications, and to avoid making important agreements, but I don’t think I need to, because you probably won’t be moving far from your couch. I will warn you not to buy expensive items or electronics at this time, because you can do some serious damage shopping on your phone between naps. Old worries, forgotten bad dreams, repressed emotions, and secrets will resurface for you to process and heal during this Mercury retrograde. You can also expect to run into people from your past.

The second half of the month will bring some interesting turns for your planetary ruler Venus. It clashes with Pluto on March 23 and meets Uranus on March 28. Pluto is the planet of the underworld. This is a freaky energy that leads to powerful transformations, but when it’s in a tense aspect with indulgent Venus, we have to watch out for jealousy, power struggles, and obsession. If you sense someone is using fear tactics to control you, definitely say goodbye at this time. Watch out for sudden flashes of genius and intuitive insight when Venus meets Uranus—trust the messages that arrive in your dreams and listen to your inner voice. A new cycle around love, money, and freedom will begin as a result of this connection.

A full moon in Libra, the sign of balance, arrives on March 31. This is a critical time for you to dump bad habits and to cut any overwhelming tasks from your schedule. If a situation has been building up at your day job, the climax is likely to take place during this full moon. Ditto around any health issues you’re working with. The Sun might be in Aries, a sign that doesn’t mind head butting its way into a confrontation, but this full moon will be in Libra, a sign that wants to compromise. Finding solutions that work for everyone is what this full moon is all about.

This is an important time to be honest with yourself and others about how much work you can take on. Do not say yes to things just because saying yes will make you seem nicer or because it’s easier than rejecting someone. You can be stubborn as hell, and you usually don’t have a hard time saying no; however, there are a few areas of life where you tend to say “yes” to everything for the sake of being nice or easy, and that’s at work or when you’re dealing with your health.

Saying yes when you need to say no will eventually lead to some drama happening, and that drama is going to happen during this full moon. Use the energy of this full moon to release your people-pleasing ways and to just be the bitch who says no—which is really who you want to be anyway!

The month wraps up with your ruling planet Venus entering your sign on March 31—exciting! Having your ruling planet in your sign will certainly find you feeling like yourself. The vibe will be sensual and seductive, so hit up your crush—you’re going to feel way cuter now. You’ll also be feeling creatively inspired (and in the mood to shop), and things will be generally going at your pace: nice and slow, no rushing, pushing or fighting. Well, maybe a bit of pushing and fighting, because it is still Aries season, but you’ll be in a better mood so it won’t be so annoying anymore!

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