Your Key Dates:
March 5: Avoid excessive gossip, reread all text messages before you send them
March 6: Start getting rid of toxic things and people in your life that no longer serve you, get to know acquaintances who can help move you forward
March 20: Tap into your creativity
You’re the social butterfly of the zodiac (duh, you’re governed by Mercury, the planet connected to communication and expression). Sipping tea with friends is one of your favorite pastimes, but you may want to put down the kettle this month because Mercury begins its dreaded retrograde cycle on March 5. Yes, honey; it’s drama.
All signs are impacted by Mercury retrograde, but this cosmic motion impacts you more than others. Through March 28, be sure to reread your message before pressing “send,” especially when it comes to your professional pursuits because Mercury will be sliding backwards in the area of your chart linked to career. This is not the month to give your supervisor a piece of your mind.
The silver lining of Mercury retrograde is that it offers a wonderful opportunity for introspection. When Uranus, the planet of innovation, moves into Taurus on March 6, it will kick off a new, seven-year cycle of reflection. This is a big deal, Gemini babe! With Uranus beginning its slow waltz through your subconscious zone, you can expect some major shifts relating to your emotional processing. You may discover that you’re ready to confront—and subsequently break—the toxic patterns you haven’t been able to escape. In order to embrace beginnings, you must also accept endings.
On March 6, the moon meets the sun in Pisces at 15º, sparking a new moon. This is a terrific day to expand your reach, whether you’re increasing your follower count on Instagram or adding new connections on LinkedIn. Perhaps engaging these distant acquaintances can perhaps propel your career forward. Just try not to come off as too thirsty!
The month concludes with two important cosmic motions occurring on March 20: Aries season begins at 5:58 p.m. EST followed by a full moon in Libra at 9:43 p.m. EST. Under this sky, explore the full range of your creativity. You don’t need an easel and beret to call yourself an artist (though that is a cute look)—you simply need to have confidence in your ideas. This lucky lunation will help you figure out exactly where you need to be directing your focus, enable you to fortify your bonds with people who truly believe in your vision, and feel inspired by support.
