Pisces, March 2016

March will definitely bring a turning point for you this year around super important themes in your life, like money and relationships, and, most importantly, your relationship to yourself.

In our monthly horoscopes, we provide a more in depth look at what's happening in the sky. You can read the rest of our monthly horoscopes here.

March will be a revealing month for you, Pisces: There will be two eclipses, one of which will take place in your sign! This is definitely a big deal, but don't worry my fish, you won't need to swim away in a panic. Eclipses are life-changing lunations; they allow us to see things in a new light. While eclipses can be stressful, they push us toward new experiences and encourage us to purge unhealthy things or people from our lives. Oh, and by the way, Pisces: Happy solar return! Let's take a look at how March will flow for you:

Two planets shift signs on March 5: Mercury enters Pisces and Mars enters Sagittarius. Mercury in your sign will be wonderful for your mental acuity. You Pisces people have a very creative way of thinking, and sometimes you trip over your words; however, with chatty Mercury in your sign, you'll feel much more confident in expressing yourself. The whole world will be on your intuitive, empathetic, and poetic level.

Warrior Mars in Sagittarius will be activating the sector of your chart that rules fame and fortune, so this is a marvelous time to focus on conquering any career goals or concerns around your reputation or popularity.

March 8 brings the new moon solar eclipse in your sign! Before we unravel the meaning of this eclipse for you, let's take a quick look at one of the other astrological alignments that will be going down for you on March 8: The Sun (in your sign!) will be opposite the planet of good luck and abundance, Jupiter. Expansive Jupiter happens to be your traditional planetary ruler (dreamy Neptune is your modern ruler), and whenever either of these planets do something, we know you'll feel it majorly. Jupiter loves to exaggerate and consume, so your relationships could have a really bloated feeling to them today. You might feel like bigger is better, but today would be a better day to observe than to take actions, especially around any situation that involves a partner.

March 8 is a powerful and potent time in terms of realizing who you truly are, how you want to be seen by the world, and how you'd like your relationship to yourself to be.

Now, onto the solar eclipse! This is a powerful and potent time in terms of realizing who you truly are, how you want to be seen by the world, and how you'd like your relationship to yourself to be. A solar eclipse is an amped up new moon— the vibe is still and quiet, but you can feel massive shifts taking place, and often the changes that occur are complete surprises. In general, with an eclipse, you can trust that anything that's not good for you anymore will be taken away from you… and anything you really ought to try will be presented to you in a very obvious fashion. I'm sure you've asked yourself countless times in your life, Who am I? You're one of the most introspective (and emo) signs in the zodiac, after all. This eclipse will bring major insight to that very important question.

On March 11, communicator Mercury meets Neptune, both of which are in your sign, so expect a super strong boost in your psychic abilities! Neptune can be a tricky planet for detail oriented Mercury to work with: Watch out for liars today and perhaps hold off on making any commitments. But don't get too paranoid about things, either (Neptune also rules paranoia)!

On March 12, sweet, seductive Venus enters your sign! This is so awesome for feeling desirable, attractive, and confident. Your sign is surely the dreamiest in the whole zodiac, so Venus loves being in your sign— the vibe is ultra romantic and fantastical!

On March 15, you'll feel some excellent vibes in your social life when Mercury gets a boost from power planet Pluto, connecting you to people who have inside scoops, VIP access, or some other hard-to-get hook up. That said, watch out for some exaggerations in terms of what people say they can offer you, due to Mercury's opposition to Jupiter.

March 16 is definitely a day to network—you could find yourself hooked up with some pretty incredible people.

March 16 brings one of the most exciting days of the month! Your ruling planet Jupiter will make an easy aspect to Pluto, which will bring super good vibes to your partnerships! This is definitely a day to network—you could find yourself hooked up with some pretty incredible people. Inspiring conversations will go down today, so definitely go on a date or hit up some parties where you can mingle with likeminded people.

On March 20 (the spring equinox!) the Sun says goodbye to your sign and enters Fire sign Aries, illuminating the sector of your chart that rules material wealth. This next month is all about working out what's valuable to you and reflecting on your financial needs. Aries is one of the bossiest signs of the zodiac, so please take advantage of this fierce vibe to get your wishes met around cash!

Also on March 20, Venus meets Neptune. In addition to being a planet all about love, Venus rules over beauty, values, and money. Neptune is the planet of illusion and fantasy, so this is a super whimsical day around any and all the Venusian themes you'll be working with.

Neptune rules film, and since you'll be feeling mega attractive with Venus in your sign, this could be a perfect day for a photo shoot. Or—since your mind will be so focused on cash, with the Sun entering Aries and with Venus's love of material goods—perhaps you will choose to use today's energy to cast some money spells. No matter what, when love planet Venus meets spiritual Neptune, people fall head over heels, so expect to be swept off your feet in some area of your life!

March 23 is one of the wildest days of the month, Pisces!

Mercury enters Aries on March 21, which will find you thinking about your cash flow again. Mercury is the planet of logic, so lots of problem solving and negotiations around money, your personal belongings, or figuring out what's valuable to you will go down.

March 23 is one of the wildest days of the month, Pisces! You'll be working on two issues today—this financial stuff we've been talking about basically nonstop and your relationships and reputation.

Jupiter is currently in your opposite sign on the zodiac wheel—down-to-earth Virgo, where it's expanding your relationships—while Saturn is currently in Sagittarius, stirring stuff up around fame and recognition. Over the last few months, you've experienced huge growths in your relationships and have found yourself taking a more mature, conservative stance on issues concerning your public image.

Your selfies of you wearing wild makeup have morphed into selfies with you carrying your brief case, showing your followers who's boss. Anyway, on March 23, Jupiter and Saturn will square, which is a super intense astrological aspect. This will create major tension between your relationships to your partners and your relationship to your public. If you're been irresponsible at work due to too many morning sleeping in with your boyfriend or girlfriend, or if they're really annoyed that they're never in any photos on social media with you, you'll hear about it today.

If you're been irresponsible at work due to too many morning sleeping in with your boyfriend or girlfriend, you'll hear about it on March 23.

One of the trickiest issues about March 23 is that the Sun will meet Mercury. When the planet of the ego sits with the planet of the mind, people have a hard time thinking objectively, so be aware today that people will be extra unwilling to see things from your point of view.

Oh, but the real tricky thing about March 23? It brings the full moon lunar eclipse in Libra! Libra is the sign of balance, and you're doing so much this month focusing on your cash. This eclipse will teach you where you really stand with your partners around sharing resources—like cash, cars, or even a shoulder to cry on (that's definitely valuable, and something which is often not equal enough in relationships)! Libra is also the sign of relationships, and issues around intimacy and sex will certainly come up for examination today. You're not afraid of deep shit, Pisces, but this eclipse will give you tons to think about and lots of feelings to process.

On March 25, taskmaster Saturn stations retrograde (meaning, it pauses in the sky, then turns around to retrace its steps through the zodiac). Saturn is all about structure, commitment, and hard work, so you'll be rethinking a lot of your professional goals. Commitments and responsibilities you've taken up since last August will come up for reexamination. Don't be afraid to ditch some projects if they're not working for you!

March will definitely bring a turning point for you this year around super important themes in your life, like money and relationships, and, most importantly, your relationship to yourself. You feel everyone else's feeling so deeply, Pisces, that you sometimes forget to deal with your own issues. Not this month, thanks to the eclipse! Happy birthday, Pisces!
