March 2021 Horoscopes: Piscean Tenderness and Aries Initiative Bring Loving Actions

Welcome Best Beloveds, 

We start the month with that special rainy day creativity that comes with water and air placements dominating the stars before moving into a more action oriented period of socialization and confident and competitive fun times brought on by fire and air signs dominating the skies.

We kick off March with Pisces Season in full swing. Pisces season usually feels a little bit like an 80’s love ballad. And this year is only slightly different. We’re seeing a different side of Pisces thanks to the Aquarian influences. The dreamer of the zodiac is showing us how they like to get weird. Behavior that others may interpret as hibernation, Pisces experiences as a spiritual psychedelic dreamworld. The first half of the month is a good time to take an artistic approach to life and love. Practice lucid dreaming, painting, poetry, music, dance, and other creative pursuits that delve into the subconscious realm of our psyche. 

Venus and the new moon in Pisces invite us to release our expectations about what is “required” for love to be true and simply embrace that love is a flow of emotion, not a set of duties that must be fulfilled, or words that must be said in order for love to be “real.” 

Mercury, the moody (but currently behaving) gay grape vine veteran of the zodiac, enters Pisces on the 15th, reminding us that sometimes there isn’t a logical explanation to emotions that come up during difficult conversations and we’d be better off following our intuition and exercising empathy to deepen our understanding and devotions.

Mars, the roller derby and board game loving butch of the planets who always calls you ‘hun’, enters Gemini this month, making us a little blunt, a little restless when we’re asked to shut up and listen. And adding some good humor, sharp wit, and powerful confidence to our words. When the sun and Venus, enter Aries this month you might feel ready for a fun challenge,  try playing a new board or card game, a new sport, a new sex position. Be sure to fuel your need for action and independence to keep things fresh in your romantic relationships. Look for closure in your life around the full moon in Libra. 

The month ends with a rather difficult pause as our hard hitting roller derby loving Mars and controlling leather daddy Saturn conjunct in Aquarius, causing obstacles to arise. Instead of getting caught up in the little things, try to take a broad perspective and lean into the artistic, intuitive, empathetic wisdom of what you learned during Pisces season to guide you through this potentially difficult transit. 

I invite you to remember that astrology is a tool for reflection and self-awareness. It is a tool we use to take the temperature of the world and reflect on how we might respond. Horoscopes allow us to reflect on ourselves and our world. It helps us pay attention to our moods and relationships and opens us up to finding new ways to navigate our thoughts and actions. It’s important to remember that anything I write here is meant to be used as such a tool and not as a prediction. The stars and planets do a lot of talking, but ultimately we each must decide our own path in life. The astro literate are encouraged to read their Moon and Venus signs first.

Astrological Themes of 2021 that are coming up this month: 

Jupiter in Aquarius

A breath of fresh air, changes in thinking, truths come to light, equity and social
