The universe will speak very clearly to you in March. Mars, now in Libra, will start to retreat backward, from March 1 to May 19, and this is important to note because Mars is your ruler. During that time, you should not initiate any new relationships or ventures - the gold, dear Aries, will be found in past projects and people you already have started to see and know. Focus on things that need to be tweaked. Aries always likes to forge forward with vigor, but with Mars out of phase, if you do, you will only spin your wheels and get nowhere. The more you push, the more frustrated you will be.
Instead, use this time to reconnect with previous contacts and develop those further. Work on projects you’ve already started but may have put aside for various reasons. Saturn will go retrograde too, from March 2 to July 20. Saturn is the natural ruler of your house of fame and honors, so if you are looking for a new position, think of all the people you have worked with in the past, and contact them now to see if you can continue the relationship. Do not launch any major product or service launches yet - wait until late May, at the new moon, May 29, or better yet, middle-to-end of July.
Saturn will retrograde too, starting March 2, but Saturn will have a milder effect on you than Mars retrograde. You might have to wait for checks from your insurance company or other money you are owed (or hope you are owed, like approval on your student loan or receiving your tax refund). If you need to have an interview or presentation, despite Saturn retrograde, March 13 will be a beautiful day, when Saturn will work flawlessly with the Sun. Accept a position in late May, but if you like, since good jobs take a lot of interviews to win, you can start to open talks now.
The start of March will be ideal for taking time alone to simply sit and think. Daydreaming will be valuable now, so indulge your urge to do so. All great actions begin with people who were secure enough set aside great dreams and then later set about to enact them, even when naysayers warned that their visions could never be realized. The new moon of February 28, still very strong in the first ten days as March opens, will help you become more of a visionary than you think you are capable of doing.
In regard to your home, if you had hoped to buy or sell property, but the bid you gave or received was not quite right, you may get a second chance in early March to make or get an adjusted bid. Jupiter, now in your house of home, will speed direct March 6, after having been languishing in retrograde since November 7. When it comes to property, you will have plenty of opportunity, but it will be up to you to make good things happen. Look at your options - you will have several that please you.
Looking at work, this month you may get a new assignment from a former client, and if so, you are free to give it your all. If the project is from someone new, be wary - you need to work extra hard to make sure your approach is correct, so keep asking questions, and before you begin, summarize in a memo all you have to do. It’s very possible you will wrap up a project too, within four days of the March 16 full moon. If you need to hire people, wait until the end of May - you won’t get the right candidates now.
One big project seems to be wrapping up at the full moon, March 16, and the applause - and possible large check - will make you feel very secure. This is a good full moon, for you seem to make good money as a result of what happens, and you will likely leave the situation or the talks feeling more financially secure.
If you have been concerned about your health, things should reach an end point at this full moon. You may end a series of physical therapy sessions or a certain medical protocol. If you have had a bad cold or get one now, it won’t last long - it will end shortly after the full moon. (Getting a cold on a new moon is not the same - that cold can last a very long time if you don’t take care of it. Of course you should take care of ANY cold!)
By the time you get to March 20, the Sun will enter Aries, signifying the start to birthday time for you in the coming weeks. This will give you more control and energy.
The new moon in Aries, March 30, however, is difficult and will bring obstacles to some of your most dearly held plans. At this time, with Uranus conjunct the Sun, you will enter into an environment where unexpected news will come to you, possibly from more than one source.
You have been growing very independent, so if anyone tries to hem you in, you’ll rebel forcefully. That could be in regard to a relationship with anyone or in regard to a career situation. Pluto will be in hard angle to the Sun in Aries too, so a client or boss may become difficult and demanding, and although you’ll be tempted to respond in an equally forceful way, the less you say in the ten days that follow March 30, the better.
You are getting more skilled at dealing with these type of bossy VIPs, as Pluto and Uranus have been raging at one another since March 2011, creating havoc in your career life. Soon this phase will be over, dear Aries, but not in 2014. With Mars in Libra now through July, be a team player - share the load, and don’t even try to be the star. As one Aries told me, the strongest player in the game on those reality shows is always the first one to be voted off the island - that strong person threatens everyone. This is a terrible commentary on group dynamics, but I will advise you to go along with everyone until Mars leaves Libra in late July. Mars is currently in your house of partnership, and so teamwork is your key to success - share the work, and share the credit. It won’t always be this way!
