March is a wild month, but the action isn’t starting quite yet. This week isn’t a calm before the storm, but an opportunity to embrace change, organize your thoughts and be a little delulu about it all. The moon is waning and though things aren’t chill, they are quiet. Focus on what you want to let go versus what you’re trying to build, at least for this week.
(Horoscopes follow for each sign. If you know your rising sign, reading for that sign too will provide further insight.)
Are you manifesting or just living in a total fantasy? Under this week’s skies, it’s very easy for you to get caught in your head and filled with self-doubt. Try to take time to relax and rest rather than stress this week, and trust things will click into place on the 9th when Mercury enters your sign helping you to articulate your needs.
This week’s mantra: “Patience.”
Experimentation is key this week as your ruling planet Venus squares off with innovative Uranus on the 3rd. Why not go on that blind date? Or get up and sing at the open mic? Or wear those painted jeans out in public? Though making any permanent aesthetic changes (dying your hair, replacing your couch, getting a tattoo) isn’t advisable under these skies, it’s important to have some fun.
This week’s mantra: “Risk.”
It’s important to be discerning about who you’re taking instructions from this week. Your ruling planet Mercury meets up with illusory Neptune on the 8th putting a haze over everything you do. It’s a great time to be creative, but a horrible time to attempt anything technical. Miscommunications can’t be avoided, especially at work. Mercury gets out of the fog by the 9th, entering Aries where conversations are, to your relief, much more direct.
This week’s mantra: “Imagine.”
Your energy is low this week, and you may be reaching your final thread of patience when it comes to an ongoing conflict with your spouse, business partner or roommate/bestie. Venus and Mars both square off with Uranus (on the 3rd and 9th) bringing some new solutions to the same old problems and hope that all will soon be resolved.
This week’s mantra: “Negotiate.”
Miscommunications are frequent this week as Mercury meets up with Neptune on the 8th, putting a haze over everything until the weekend. Lines are blurred and you might be spending money you don’t have or getting too involved in someone else’s business. The sun connects with Uranus on the 9th bringing a surprise that leads you in a more positive direction.
This week’s mantra: “Navigate.”
Are you falling in love or is everything falling apart? Since Mercury entered Pisces on February 23rd, you’ve been very focused on other people, particularly your romantic partner, and things become all-consuming as Mercury meets up with Neptune on the 8th. To pull yourself out of the haze, you need to figure out what’s theirs and what’s yours.
This week’s mantra: “Separate.”
The week starts with a bang as your ruling planet Venus squares off with innovative Uranus on the 3rd inspiring a new entrepreneurial venture or collaborative creative project. Your problem isn’t a lack of ideas, it’s that you’re working too hard at your day job to get your other projects off the ground. Who can help you make these ideas into a reality?
This week’s mantra: “Collaborate.”
If you’ve been crushing on someone, you might be wondering whether it’s time to make a move. Is this real or is it just a distraction? Communication planet Mercury meets up with imaginative Neptune on the 8th, putting a romantic haze over the whole week. Use this energy to write your feelings down whether that’s in a journal or in a poetic text to your crush.
This week’s mantra: “Charm.”
Shake-ups at work have you feeling unsettled this week. Your most unassuming coworker just announced that she’s leaving to start her own business. If even she can find something better, what’s stopping you and your work bestie from branching out and starting a venture of your own? Mercury enters Aries and your creativity sector on the 9th bringing you all kinds of innovative ideas.
This week’s mantra: “Expand.”
Frustrations around communication are at an all-time high this week. Between your Hinge date ghosting, your boss ignoring your vacation request and your sister sending you seven-minute long voice notes about nothing, you’re ready to throw your phone into the ocean and permanently unplug your Wifi. Once Mercury enters bold Aries on the 9th though, you get your confidence back and are happy to boldly confront everyone who dares leave you on read.
This week’s mantra: “Direct.”
For the last few weeks you’ve been contemplating whether or not you should make a bold choice around your image and personal style and on the 3rd, you come very close to doing something drastic that you’ll later regret. Instead of flippantly piercing your nose or getting a butterfly tattoo, try switching up your makeup instead.
This week’s mantra: “Redirect.”
Your creativity is at an all-time high this week as you write work emails in verse and turn every grocery list into a song. Who needs clarity when you can write poetry instead? With Venus and Mars still hanging out in your unconscious sector, you’re more interested in the big picture than you are in nailing down the details. Just be mindful of others who might need you to be more specific about what you need.
This week’s mantra: “Flow.”
