There are many different facets of astrology and one of those are planetary transits. Transits happen when a planet moves from one star constellation to another. These planetary shifts can change and affect our energy or direction throughout each month. Nevertheless, I would encourage people to not base their entire life around astrology and instead use it as a guide.

With that being said, here are the most important planetary transits this month:

Venus enters Aquarius on March 6th

The key themes of Venus in Aqua will be learning to love without barriers and dealing with detachment in relationships. Now this by itself, won’t be a bad thing. But if you’re a very social person then this may be off-putting at first. But it will be more of a mutual detachment and it will only be subtle. The Venus in Aqua also encourages spending time with friends more and having less social anxiety overall.

Mars enters Aquarius on March 6th

With Mars in the independent, eccentric sign of Aqua, you can find yourself being much more standoffish and bold when talking to people. You might have more of a “do your own thing” mindset and be less focused on being involved in your social groups. With this, you will also be feeling more whimsical and might take on random endeavors or go on adventures with your friends spontaneously.

Mercury in Pisces on March 9th

The key themes of Mercury in the sensitive, intuitive sign of Pisces will be: enjoying creative projects, being more humorous, and feeling more shy and reserved. Since Pisces is a very intuitive sign, you will most likely be feeling your way through situations rather than using reasoning and evaluating events. But with this transit, you may find yourself occasionally overpowered by emotions. If this happens, you should seek peace and solitude and allow yourself to recuperate.

Full Moon in Virgo on March 18th

The Full Moon in Virgo will be the final Full Moon before what’s deemed the Astrological New Year, marked by the Equinox on the 20th of March. This Full Moon will be for releasing emotions and speaking our truth. In the organized, structured sign of Virgo, the Full Moon may reveal to you where you may be struggling to find a balance between rest and recuperation versus over-structuring and over-organizing. This Full Moon may also show you where you need to gently release certain obligations or things weighing you down.

March should be filled with many interesting events with these transits, so make sure to pay attention to when they come. Again, I would recommend using these horoscopes as a guide and continue to use your discernment throughout the month. And of course, enjoy March as we transition from the cold to the warmth and sunshine.
