What’s Your Florascope? March Edition

Aries (Mar 20 – April 19): Venus, the planet of Love, Beauty, Money, and all things we desire is turning retrograde in your sign on March 4th. This apparent backwards motion continues until mid-April. It is an opportunity for you to take stock of how you present yourself to others. Do they see you as a generous and caring spirit? In your yearning to feel loved, nurtured and cared for, it’s important to recognize other’s needs, what you bring to the table and that you can balance each other in a healthy way.

Taurus (April 20 – May 19):  Your ruling planet shifts direction this month and you may be losing sleep over financial matters. Don’t be concerned, as with Mars in your sign, more ambition is available to you than you’ve had in years. Use this new-found energy to get a fresh perspective and re-ignite your goals. What would it take for you to be more productive and achieve everything you wish? Ideally, a rethink of your creative vision could lead to new monetary opportunities.

Gemini (May 20 – June 20): You are trying to be on your best behavior, despite Mars steaming in your 12th house. You may have lost patience with the people in your community and possibly with your friends. March finds you reviewing the journey you have taken with these people and if they are up to the role they play in your life. You may do a big re-alignment of the individuals with whom you surround yourself. If you find this is the case, you should be aware that nothing is permanent at this time and if you wait until mid-next month, you will find a more practical solution.

Cancer (June 21-July 21): As Jupiter visits your 4th house this year, members of your sign get to indulge their love of family and the sweetness of a cozy home. But March brings major activity in your 10th house of career and you cannot help but focus your attention on this area of your life, despite feeling pulled in two directions. There are many questions that will arise now which will further examine your relationship with your chosen profession. Is it fulfilling your needs financially and are you emotionally satisfied? Ultimately it is best if you can integrate family and career so that they are equally supportive and you don’t feel you are making sacrifices.

Leo (July 22 – August 21): Your mind is expanding in an unprecedented way, as you are becoming more curious as to what the vast, wide world has to offer you. You are yearning for exotic lands and to meet the people who reside in them. Their beliefs, their customs, how they relate – all of it is fascinating to you right now. This is due to a profound desire to look outside of yourself and raise your levels of awareness to understand love on a global level. You want to fully comprehend your role in this world and in the universe. In this way, you are not just a traveler of the world, but also of the mind and spirit.

Flower/Herb to Seek Out This Month: White Cottage Roses, Dill, Mint, Cilantro

Virgo (August 22 – September 21): Virgos are not known to have robust sexual desires, but you may surprise yourself in March. With a preponderance of planets in Aries in your house of passion, you will have stirrings that may be unexplored. Use this exciting energy to explore and invite fire into your life. As the North Node of Destiny continues its journey through your sign, you will remain practical, so there’s never a chance you’ll get out of control. Now you can throw a little caution to the wind and not worry about when the checkbook gets reconciled.

Libra (September 22 – October 22): In March, Venus the planet ruler of your sign will be making a backwards motion in your opposite sign of Aries. There she will be joined by a preponderance of planets, all in your relationship house. This is a perfect time to re-evaluate the commitments you have made to others and review your love history. It’s unwise to start anything new in these weeks, as it is time to revisit the past. You prefer peace and serenity to making waves, so you may be hesitant to pose questions to partners, as you may not wish to hear the answers. Much helpful information can be revealed if you are completely honest with yourself and others.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 20): March may be a busy month on the work front, with unexpected projects and new deadlines. Former colleagues may make a re-appearance to lend expertise and join in the teamwork. Importantly, it is best to pay attention to your physical energy levels. Scorpios are known for their extremes and the temptation may be there to push your body harder if you keep late work hours. Remember to get adequate rest and allow for rejuvenation.

Sagittarius (November 21 – December 20): Ongoing challenges from Saturn and Neptune have acclimated you to new levels of responsibility, which is not typical of your life.

However, your fiery juices are receiving a boost this month, as supportive planets gather in your 5th house of entertainment and creativity. This can give you the impetus to break free, socialize and have fun. Make use of this time by returning to aesthetic projects where you can find fresh inspiration. It’s also a great time to call up the old friends and attend a soirée.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19): While Capricorns almost always prioritize their profession over anything else, you are realizing the benefit of having a support system in your life. Whether it is a biological family or an extended network of souls who you relate to as family, you now understand and are grateful for those who have your back. But like purging your old roller skates from your closet, you also feel the need to relieve yourself of familial situations that have run their course. If they prove to be less than supportive, now is the time to find out and perhaps take a step back.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18): In the concept of Dharma, they say it is important to use consciousness when choosing our words. Aquarius is an air sign, the dispensers of knowledge in the zodiac, therefore your words are always significant. March is one of the times when you need to be very aware of the language you use so that your words do not come back to haunt you. It is also essential to recognize that your ideas have value and sharing them now could be incredibly satisfying.

Flower/Herb to Seek Out This Month: Winterberry, Sage, Carnations, Moringa 

Pisces (February 19 – March 20): As yours is a water sign, you are quite familiar with the cycles of ebb and flow. Money is no different, as it is an energy that is designed to change hands, causing a natural sense of the tide coming in and out of your wallet. Relationships with money are often complicated, even more than relationships with people. The energies of the month are focused in your house of finances and you’d do best by re-evaluating your sense of self-worth and the value of your skills. Are you satisfied with what you receive for your level of expertise? If you are not, this is the perfect month to make changes that keep you on your path, but respond to the call of a greater sense of self-worth.
