Cancer, March 2018

If you’ve already overcome this challenge, fantastic! If not, the full moon in Virgo on March 1 will find you getting a whole lot off your chest. This is a hugely powerful opportunity for communicating openly. Full moons are a time of culmination and release. It’s time to let go of an idea that’s no longer serving you, or test the new theories you’ve been brewing up during imaginative Pisces season.

Full moons can be intensely exhausting and emotional; fortunately, this one will take place while there are tons of lucky vibes in the air. This is thanks to sweet Venus connecting with Jupiter, the planet of abundance, on this day. The day after—March 2—messenger planet Mercury will also connect with Jupiter. Plenty of Water-sign energy will be flowing today, finding you feeling comfortable and in your element as the full moon in practical, down-to-earth Virgo has you assessing your emotions, sharing information, and connecting with others. Expect news to come your way, too. Virgo is a sign that wants to make sense of things, so expect to do plenty of analysis early this month. Like you, Virgo loves to be of service to others, and during this full moon, finding way to benefit your local community is a fantastic way to work this energy.

Pisces season finds you brewing up big ideas—but Aries season is nearly here, which will give you a chance to show off your stuff to the whole world. As the month progresses, more and more planets will enter Aries, igniting the sector of your chart that rules success, recognition, and rewards. Both communication planet Mercury and love-and-money planet Venus will enter Aries on March 6. The Sun follows soon after, officially kicking off Aries season on March 20.

This is a fantastic time for pushing things forward professionally: Mercury will help you network, and Venus’s charm will bolster your ability to charm the masses. Venus is also the planet of what we value, making this a superb time to really reflect on what, exactly, you want to get out of your career, just how important popularity is to you, and what you want to be known for.

With that said, Mercury will go retrograde on March 22, which will find you rethinking issues concerning these themes until Mercury turns direct again, on April 15. During Mercury retrograde, focus on completing projects you’ve already begun instead of starting new ones. Watch out for miscommunications, delays, and technical difficulties, and if you can, try to wait until after the retrograde is over to make commitments. Aries wants to zoom ahead, but things are going to move slowly at this time—which can be a good thing! You love having time and space to plan and prepare, Cancer.

There’s a new moon in Pisces on March 17, bringing new opportunities your way. This new moon will activate the sector of your chart that rules higher education—certainly mark this date on your calendar if you’re in school or applying to programs—as well as travel. You’ll be eager to see the world on this date. Pisces is a very philosophical sign, so this new moon will also find you exploring your spiritual needs and having deep conversations with inspiring people. Take note: On this same day, Mars enters Capricorn, which will ignite the relationship sector of your chart. Expect your partnerships—romantic, professional, and otherwise—to get a big boost in energy (as well as some possibly confrontational vibes!).

On March 23, Venus squares off with Pluto, which is currently in Capricorn. This is another crucial day for your partnerships, romantic and otherwise. Venus is charming and luxurious, and it loves to indulge. Pluto is the planet of power. When these two energies clash, uncomfortable emotions tend to come up, such as jealousy and obsession. Power struggles will arrive—bratty vibes will abound, and you may need to watch out for manipulation, too. Powerful transformations may certainly take place today; just avoid giving into petty, vindictive, shady behavior.

March 28 is an exciting day for you professionally. Venus will meet with Uranus, kicking off a new journey around you doing your own unique, independent thing in the public eye. Because you can be shy, Cancer, people mistake you for not being industrious and self-motivated—but they’re so wrong. You have so much you want to accomplish, and your crab claws will stop at nothing to get you there. Seductive Venus’s meeting with rebellious Uranus will find you tapping into your inner maverick and showing the world how innovative, inspiring, and surprising you can be.

The month ends like it began—with a full moon. The full moon will take place in Air sign Libra on March 31, and it’ll illuminate the home and family sector of your chart. These are both themes you haven’t spent much time working with, due to Aries season finding you zeroed in on work and your life in public. Full moons are potent times for emotional release, and this one will find you purging emotions relating to your private life: your living situation, your relationship to your family, and even things from early childhood may come up for your process.

Libra is a sign that’s concerned with fairness, but we all know that it’s not a perfect world, and things rarely end up being totally just. It’s important to forgive, forget, and move on. Make adjustments where you can, Cancer, but at the end of the day, this full moon wants you to ask, Do I feel safe and secure in my home and personal life? And if the answer is anything but a strong yes! then you should make time to confront these issues.

Also on March 31, Venus enters Earth sign Taurus, bringing blessings to your friendships. This is a wonderful time to connect with friends and reevaluate what you want out of your social life. Reconnecting with lovers (and creative partners) on an intellectual level is also a great way to work this energy. Good luck this month, Cancer, and see you in April!
