AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
This month can be defined by Aquarius’s natural spontaneous urge for change. As we sense the beginning of spring, a transformation is likely to occur for air signs, including Gemini, Libra and most specifically Aquarius. We recommend focusing on expanding your horizons while still thinking logically.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to Mar. 20)
On Mar. 7, Saturn will officially fall into Pisces’ terrain. Fellow astrologist Nina Kahn refers to this event as “pulling off our rose-colored glasses, but it’ll also give us discipline and focus.” This shift in planets primarily focuses on Pisces’ new beginnings and future growth throughout the year.

ARIES (Mar. 21 to Apr. 19)
Romantically speaking, March is a favorable time for Aries to meet a potential lover. Ideally, you should be focused on nurturing relationships and creating cherishable memories. Experiencing love in all realms and aspects is a priority for Aries.

TAURUS (Apr. 21 to May 21)
For Taurus, this month may create a challenging career atmosphere. Standards may rise, creating work-related pressure and self-doubt. Despite the possibility of these problems occurring, you will receive recognition for the stress you’ve experienced.

GEMINI (May 22 to June 22)
Optimism is a crucial trait Gemini carries throughout March. Billy Joel once sang, “Slow down, you’re doing fine/You can’t be everything you wanna be before your time.” He was referring to the feeling of being overly eager to pursue your dreams and the desire to succeed. Opportunities have blossomed for you, new experiences have taught you lessons, and ultimately self-confidence will take you where you need to be.

CANCER (June 23 to July 23)
The beginning of March allows you time to focus on your studies, work and career. But upon the entry of Mars into your sign on Mar. 25, Cancer will be renewed in energy and purpose, opening a new chapter in your life. The spring brings positive changes to mental and physical health.

LEO (July 24 to Aug. 23)
March can be defined by Leo’s capability to reconsider and reflect on previous romantic affairs. If not handled properly, you may spiral and seek comfort in the wrong places. Allow time for some self-observation, but don’t over-scrutinize yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 23)
Indie singer Mitski once sang, “And there’s not much I can do, not much I change/I give it up to you, I surrender.” Using this as a reference, we encourage Virgo to not pursue relationships that are unrewarding. There’s nothing wrong with your behavior or simply being yourself. If someone doesn’t benefit you, are they worth it? If you don’t make changes yourself, the universe will make them for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
This month allows for a moment of self observation during the full moon on Mar. 7. With their nurturing, considerate nature, Libras are likely to be labeled “people pleasers.” While stereotypes aren’t appreciated in astrology, there is some truth to this assumption. Approach March with a goal to pursue projects and endeavors that benefit you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Mars represents our inner drive, our motivation to accomplish things and our future selves. Its transit into March holds a lot of value and will impact those born under Scorpio. Make sure you’re properly investing your energy into things of value to you. Don’t waste time with people, projects or relationships that don’t serve you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
For those born under the sign Sagittarius, March is an extremely family-oriented month. Saturn encourages you to dig deeper into issues that weigh on family. While revisiting old family dramas may not be an effective method to better things, it will draw you closer to the right people.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
You may feel extra critical of your work or ideas due to Saturn’s sudden change. Saturn is Capricorn’s ruling planet, so you are no stranger to stern self-criticism. It’s important to remember that your unique experiences are valued.
