ARIES (21 March – 19 April)

Mercury’s Movements

The planet of communication, Mercury, has been retrograde since February 17th. Traditionally, this is a time to put off major decisions as things are not what they seem and new information often comes to light when Mercury turns direct.

This happens on the 10th, a key date in this month’s astrological diary. If you have something important you want to deal with or activate in your life, it’s worth using the timing of astrology and wait for Mercury’s change of direction.

Things will start to make more sense, however, from the 4th. This is because Mercury leaves Pisces, a water sign, and heads into Aquarius, an air sign on this date. Mercury in Pisces is dreamy and romantic, yet potentially illusory and confused. You’re better off going with the flow and stepping outside of your usual routine when Mercury is floating around in Pisces’ realm.

Mercury in Aquarius is an easier planet/sign influence, as Aquarius is more structured and organised. You can start list-making and planning ahead with confidence. Aquarius rules friends and groups in your horoscope and you may reconnect with people you were in contact with earlier in the year.

You have more time to get together or events conspire to bring you back into contact. Pick up again where you left off with a group, club, society or organisation that inspires you or you believe in.

Saturn Enters Aquarius

This could be more important than you realise because the slower-moving planets are also entering Aquarius. By this time next year, Aquarius will be the star sign of the moment. Therefore, it’s time to consider where and how friends, groups, associations and/or social projects are going to be part of your future path.

Aquarius rules your hopes and wishes, your place in the world, the activities and organisations you get involved. On the 22nd of this month, Saturn enters Aquarius where it remains until July 1st. Then, on December 17th it will return to Aquarius for the subsequent two years.

This is a major planetary shift as it takes Saturn, the planet of structure and authority, responsibility and discipline, almost 30 years to circuit the zodiac. Saturn in Aquarius is egalitarian with a social conscience.

You may be stepping up to take on a new role and what gets put in place this month could be the catalyst, the trigger. Certainly, it’s important to factor in why community, politics, environmental and humanitarian concerns are going to become more significant to you moving forwards.

Mars Capricorn/Sun Aries

This could turn out to be a big month for you because your ruling planet Mars remains in Capricorn at the peak of your horoscope until the 30th. Mars in Capricorn is the empire builder and Capricorn rules your career and vocation, your future path.

Some of you may be boosting your status or reputation, adding letters to your name or gaining qualifications and prestige. Pace yourself this month especially as the Sun remains in Pisces and the most hidden sector of your horoscope until the 20th, the day of the Equinox.

This is the key turning point for you as the Sun enters your star sign Aries on the 20th and there’s a stunning Mars/Jupiter conjunction in Capricorn on the 20th. This is followed three days later by a Mars/Pluto conjunction in Capricorn on the 23rd.

Put all this together and potentially you have power. Jupiter is the planet of good fortune which expands what it touches. Pluto at its best rules power and transformation. You may need courage and bravado to make the most of this power combination so get ready to do battle.

There is a competitive feel to this period in the month. You could be taking on someone at the top, fighting for justice or what you believe is right. You might find yourself up against a formidable force. Yet, with the Sun in Aries, and Mars in Capricorn, both planets in their signs of exaltation, you are the courageous one and have strength and determination in bucketloads.

This is when you could come into your own and gain confidence and self-assurance. Note the New Moon on the 24th also falls in Aries, a symbol of new beginnings. It’s an ideal time to set your intentions, launch a project, make a fresh start in life. Look after no. 1 as the Sun begins its journey around the zodiac one more time.

Money & Work

Also, this month, Venus is in Taurus from the 5th onwards. Taurus rules money and Venus is indulgent. This combination is about gifting, enjoying your spoils, having a liking for the good things in life. Venus is your partner planet. If you’re married or in a relationship, it’s an excellent time to be productive and work at securing your future together.

The Full Moon on the 9th could be interesting in this respect. It falls in Virgo, another earth sign and there’s a Venus/Uranus conjunction in Taurus on the 8th. This could be a lucky time in the month when things go your way, especially with regard to work, money and assets.

Yet, Uranus promises change and things can happen unexpectedly. Yes, you may receive a gift or bonus. Or, you may find that your work situation shifts dramatically and this has a knock-on effect on your earnings or monies received. Keep close tabs on money this month and put more energy into your work and career. It’s here where there’s the possibility to fly high.

Friends In High Places

Finally, on the 30th, your ruler Mars enters Aquarius and immediately joins up with Saturn on the 31st. You are in the thick of the planetary activity this month as your ruler Mars join forces with all the slower-moving planets.

It’s not a month for the faint-hearted. Instead, step up in the world, stand up for what you believe in and join forces with people who are aligned with your vision, your goals. It’s a month to get on the right side of people of influence and people in high places without falling prey to corruption or wrong-doings.

TAURUS (20 April – 20 May)

Venus in Taurus

Your planet Venus enters your star sign Taurus on the 5th where it remains throughout March. This is a lovely placing for Venus, the planet of love & money, art & beauty in the star sign of sensuality, comfort and indulgence.

Put all this together and you too may be seeking more beauty in your life. Take walks in nature, visit an art gallery or discover your inner artist. Slow down the pace of life with Venus in Taurus and get involved in hands-on activities whether you’re a gardener, a cook, a builder, a sculptor, a craftsperson.

This month’s Full Moon takes place in Virgo on the 9th, the sign ruling crafts. One day earlier, Venus sits next to Uranus in Taurus, a symbol of surprise and sudden moves. Ultimately, your star sign needs financial and emotional security. Yet, this is a new wave with Uranus, the planet of change, bringing a sense of disorder to your life or a new wave.

Step out of your comfort zone during the Full Moon weekend and do something different, exciting and uplifting.

Earth Sign Energy

There are a predominance of planets in earth signs – Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn – right now, so this is your time. You’re in your element. Action planet Mars is in Capricorn until the 30th ruling travel and study in your horoscope, adventure and the bigger picture.

This is where you find Jupiter too, the planet of expansion and good fortune. You may be considering a move abroad or want to study or learn at a university or school. Mars is strongly aspected on the 20th when it’s conjunct Jupiter and on the 23rd when there’s a Mars/Pluto conjunction, also in Capricorn.

This whole combination feels extreme. It can give you extra power and determination to move your life in a new direction. Or, you could find yourself under pressure if you’re studying or involved in a research project. You may find your beliefs are challenged or your religion. Or, you end up in a competitive situation and need to be resilient to keep moving forwards and win your place or pass your exam.

A lot depends how much you’re ready to embrace what’s new, how much you want to leave the past behind and focus on your future, your next steps. At the end of the month, Venus in Taurus teams up with Jupiter and Pluto on the 28th and 29th.

This is when you’re back in flow and you can push things through easier. Mars often indicates a battle, that you have a fight on your hands. Choose your timing wisely if you’re keen to broaden your horizons.

Remember too that Venus is your planet and Mars is your partner planet. If you’re in a relationship or married, you need to work together as a team. Find the time to consider next steps for both of you and how you can bring more adventure into your lives, at the same time as feeling emotionally and financially secure.

High Flyer

Certainly, this is a month when you’re wise to aim high and look at what next and there are a couple of reasons for this. Firstly, communication planet, Mercury, retreats back into Aquarius on the 4th, your career and vocation sector. You may be revisiting a job or project that you started in January. Or perhaps, you’re reviewing your current situation or reconnecting with old contacts.

Mercury turns direct on the 10th, a significant turning point. As this takes place in Aquarius, it’s about your career and vocation, your status and reputation. You may hear the news you’ve been waiting for or finally get the go-ahead with a new role or job.

Ideally, use this turning point to explore your options and follow things up if people have gone quiet on you. Mercury’s change of direction is ideal for second chances. This could help you sort out a technological issue as Aquarius rules all things modern, including technology.

Saturn enters Aquarius

There’s another reason why you’re wise to think about your future path. This is because Saturn, the planet representing structure and authority, responsibility and discipline, enters Aquarius on the 22nd where it remains until July 1st. Later this year, on December 17th, Saturn returns to Aquarius where it stays for the subsequent two years.

This is a major shift in astrology as it takes Saturn 30 years to circuit the zodiac. If you’re old enough, think back to what happened last time around when Saturn was in your career and vocation sector. Also, notice what opportunities arise this month.

Are you ready to step into a new role or position? Alternatively, are you thinking of retiring or your current job or role is coming to an end? Both are possible as Saturn represents authority and commitment, also endings.

Plus, on the 30th, action planet Mars joins Saturn in Aquarius and they combine forces on the 31st. This is a strong force and you need to consider whether you’re the one upping your game.

Or, whether you’d be wise to back down or change tack if you’re up against a formidable boss or authority figure. A good question this month is to ask yourself where it would be most meaningful and worthwhile to channel your time and energy.

The Equinox

The other key planetary shift this month is the Sun’s move into Aries, the first sign of the zodiac on the 20th. This is the day of the Equinox and perfect for making a fresh start. The New Moon on the 24th continues this theme.

Aries is the sign behind yours in the zodiac, so this is about inner work and retreat, not only forward-moving action and motion. Perhaps, you need to factor in relaxation if life suddenly becomes busy. Or, strengthen your inner self to handle any big changes that come your way. Certainly, it’s a good month to develop your inner grit and determination.

The Sun’s move into Aries is a sign to take good care of yourself and to be there for other people, especially those in need. This is likely to be one of the most important months of the year for you as you consider where you’re heading and why.

GEMINI (21 May – 20 June)

Mercury on the move

It’s an important month for you and timing is key to your success. Firstly, Mercury, your ruling planet, retreats back into Aquarius, another air sign sign, on the 4th. This could be helpful for you as Mercury’s been retrograde, i.e. on go slow in water sign Pisces since February 17th.

Mercury retrograde in Pisces can feel like a double whammy of confusion and illusion. You may have felt lost or out-of-sorts or had a sense that things are unravelling in your life, rather than moving forwards.

Mercury in Aquarius is more logical and rational. Write things down, make lists, plan ahead. Notice if you change your mind regarding a trip away, a course or another adventure. That’s perfectly possible while Mercury is in retreat.

Turning Points

The key date for you this month is the 10th when Mercury turns direct. This often coincides with a turning point in your life. Sometimes, you hear the news you were waiting for or you’re more clear about what you want and why.

The 10th is a positive date to make key decisions and this is confirmed because Mercury turns direct one day after a Full Moon on the 9th. Full Moons are a symbol of completion and culmination and a time to trust your natural intuition.

This Full Moon cuts across the Virgo/Pisces axis of the zodiac representing the foundations of your life, your career & vocation, your home & family. Plus, one week later, Mercury returns to Pisces on the 16th to complete its journey through the star sign at the peak of your horoscope.

This could turn out to be a key month for you with regard to your future path, your next steps in life. There could be some big changes coming your way, a significant shift, whether due to external circumstances or a change of mind or change or heart on your part.

Your progress isn’t linear by any means. Instead, allow yourself time to ponder and reflect and consider all your options. This could feel unsettling for you but view this as a necessary process.

Saturn enters Aquarius

There’s a possibility that you may be ready to set off on in a completely new direction. This is because on the 22nd, Saturn, the planet of authority and responsibility, moves into Aquarius and the sector of your horoscope which rules travel and study, the bigger picture in life.

Saturn remains here until July 1st and returns to Aquarius on December 17th where it remains for the subsequent two years. As it takes Saturn 30 years to circuit the zodiac, this is the start of a brand new chapter and an ideal time to rethink where you’re heading and why.

You may be considering emigration or a move abroad. Or perhaps, you want to take a sabbatical or gain new qualifications. Being an air sign, you’re curious about life and your love of knowledge and learning will be stimulated as Aquarius becomes the star sign of the moment.

For some of you, this could coincide with a change of plan or the realisation that one dream may not happen. Remember that Saturn rules endings as well as commitment.

You either commit to a 2-3 year course of study or you recognise what’s not going to come to pass. Reviewing and reassessing your future goals is part and parcel of this month’s astrology.

Money Matters

Money may be a factor here as Mars, the action planet, is in Capricorn and your joint finance sector until the 30th. This is where you find Jupiter, the planet of expansion and good fortune. Also, Pluto, the planet of loss and transformation.

The key dates in this respect are the 20th and 23rd when Mars is first conjunct Jupiter and then Pluto. This combination is extreme and suggests you may have a battle on your hands with regards to money.

Perhaps, you’re fighting for what’s rightfully yours. Or, you’re entering a new financial phase when you have a lot of power and you can call the shots.

If you step into a new role or position this month, which is possible with the emphasis on Pisces and your career sector, then this could have a knock-on effect on your finances.

However, the opposite is also true and a change of job could see a significant financial shift when you need to take action and fast. Know when to cut your losses and when to dig deep to preserve your finances.

The Equinox & Venus

Other factors to consider include the Equinox on the 20th, the day that the Sun enters Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. Aries rules friends and groups in your horoscope and it’s an ideal time to reach out to other, to reconnect. The New Moon falls in Aries on the 24th, an ideal date to join a group, club or association or be with people who lift your spirits.

Also, Venus, the planet of love and relating, is in Taurus from the 5th onwards. This is the most hidden sector of your chart which can sometimes indicate unrequited love, hidden feelings or a love affair.

The period around the Full Moon feels especially emotional when Venus unites with Uranus on the 8th. This combination is impulsive and spontaneous, a time when anything goes.

CANCER (21 June – 22 July)

Mercury Direct

Mercury, the planet ruling communication and the mind has been retrograde in Pisces, a fellow water sign, since February 17th. This month, on the 4th, Mercury retreats back into Aquarius where it turns direct on the 10th.

Mercury’s move into air sign Aquarius feels more logical and structured. If you’ve felt lost or been going around in circles, this could be a helpful shift for you. You are one of life’s daydreamers but there are times when you need to leave the realm of the imagination and manifest your dreams in real life.

This month does have a back-to-work feel about it, whatever that means for you. For example, Mercury’s move into Aquarius lights up your joint finance sector. Now’s the time to start renegotiating or working things out financially. You may return to a conversation or project that began earlier in the year as you have new ideas or news.

The turning point could be the 10th when Mercury turns direct bringing new information to light. This is also the time in the month of the Full Moon, always significant for you as you’re a Moon child. The Sun remains in dreamy, romantic Pisces during the Full Moon on the 9th but the Moon is in practical Virgo.

This would be a good time to go somewhere different and be in new surroundings. If a good friend suggests a last-minute get-together, take advantage. Think about expanding your horizons and get away the weekend leading up to the glorious Full Moon. This is a time to trust your intuition and start making those key decisions in your life.

Money Matters

Money becomes more important in your life from the 22nd onwards. This is when Saturn enters Aquarius where it remains until July 1st and returns to Aquarius on December 17th. It’s then in this key sector of your horoscope for the subsequent two years.

Therefore, what takes place this month could set a new precedent or be the start of a new phase in your life. This is linked to your financial situation whether one form of income is coming to an end. Or alternatively, you’re ready to commit to an investment, a mortgage or loan. Saturn takes 30 years to circuit the zodiac so think back to what you put in place on the previous cycle, if you’re old enough to remember.

Saturn is the planet of endings, also commitment, discipline and long-term goals. Saturn’s great for planning for the future and you’re wise to consider your next steps regarding your financial future. This is what the new phase is about for you.

Career Goals

The other reason why things are heating up for you is because of the Sun’s move into Aries on the 20th, the day of the Equinox. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. In your horoscope, it represents your career and vocation, your status and reputation. Again, you have your eye on the future when key planets enter this sector of your horoscope.

Plus, the New Moon this month falls in Aries on the 24th, a symbol of new beginnings. It would be an excellent date to start a new job, apply for a job or launch a project. There’s a theme of starting over during this New Moon.

Fiery Relationships

One area where life could be full on for you in March is relationships, whether personal, professional or both. This is because you have Mars, the action planet, in Capricorn and your relationship sector throughout the month. Mars only changes star sign on the 30th.

Mars rules passion and the libido. For some of you, you could be in the throes of a full-blown love affair, exploring your sexuality. Yet, Mars also rules conflict and competitive situations. Therefore, you may find that one relationship in your life brings more arguments than usual. You could be involved in a power play, whether at work or in your personal life.

The key dates here are the 20th and 23rd when Mars first unites with Jupiter, then Pluto. Jupiter is the planet of good fortune. So perhaps, you’re involved with someone who’s a force of nature, a powerful individual who lifts you up and brings something new to your life. Pluto is a different influence altogether as it’s the planet of transformation, also power and loss.

This astrology could coincide with the end of a relationship. Or, you find yourself taking on someone powerful, perhaps at work or in a different situation in your life. Certainly, any aggravation could come to a head during this key period in March.

Loyal Friends

Ensure you have the support of good and loyal friends in March. Venus, the planet of love and relating, is in Taurus and your friendship sector from the 5th onwards. This is where fun and happiness can be found, in your group activities and being with the people in your life who know you best.

Venus teams up with Jupiter and Pluto on the 28th and 29th in a helpful and supportive planetary pattern. Whether you’re the one offering support or you have someone in your life to lean on, this is where strength and kindness can be found.

Financial Goals

Finally, Mars enters Aquarius on the 30th and immediately clashes with Saturn at 0 degrees Aquarius on the 31st. This is a hot spot for your financial affairs.

Someone could lay down the law. Or perhaps, you’re the one who needs to dig deep and show your grit and determination. Mars will remain here throughout April, another key month for money matters.

Use The Timing of Astrology To Guide You To Success: Weekly Star Guide

LEO (23 July – 22 August)

The Sun, your ruler, is in water sign Pisces until the 20th. Pisces is an emotional, sentimental star sign, sensitive and caring. This sector of your horoscope is about money on the one hand, also things that are hidden. You may be dealing with deep emotions while the Sun is here. Or venturing into unknown territory.

Turning Points

Communication planet, Mercury, has also been in Pisces but retrograde since February 17th. This is not the time to make major decisions or investments but this changes on the 9th/10th when two key events take place.

Firstly, there’s a powerful Full Moon on the 9th cutting across the Virgo/Pisces axis of the horoscope. This is the financial axis in your chart and Full Moons often bring clarity. You see your situation clearly and you’re wise to trust your intuition.

This is an exceptionally powerful Full Moon as it pulls in key planets; Neptune in Pisces and Jupiter in Capricorn. There’s some magic involved, whether you receive a gift or you have a sense of life being in flow.

The day after the Full Moon, on the 10th, Mercury turns direct and this is always a green light in astrology. You may hear news you’ve been waiting for. Or perhaps, you receive a payment or information that helps you make a key decision.

Mercury returns to Pisces on the 16th and moves out of its shadow phase on the 29th. Use this period to renegotiate finances and get back on track with money matters. Line up key meetings or interviews to ensure you know where you’re heading and why, both financially and emotionally. Often, the two are linked.

Work & Health

Capricorn remains an important star sign this month as Mars is here, the planet of action. Plus, you have lucky Jupiter, the planet of good fortune in Capricorn throughout 2020. These two planets meet on the 20th, a key date for taking action, especially with regard to your work and health.

These are the areas of your life that Capricorn rules – your work and routine, your lifestyle and health and service to others. There’s a lot of planetary energy here throughout March and some changes are imminent.

After Mars meets Jupiter, it encounters Pluto in Capricorn on the 23rd. This whole period feels intense as pressures build. For some of you, this could coincide with the end of a project or job. Or perhaps, you recognise where life is overly stressful and you need to make changes.

Venus In Taurus

Certainly, this feels as if it’s an important month for you with regard to your work and career, your vocation and future path. There’s not only strong emphasis on the star sign Capricorn but Venus, the planet of relating, is in Taurus and your career sector from the 5th onwards.

The key date here is the 8th when there’s a Venus/Uranus conjunction in your work sector. As this coincides with the Full Moon cutting across your money axis, you would expect this to be a time of change.

It might be that external circumstances are the reason for a new wave coming in. Or perhaps, an opportunity that’s too good to miss out on. Be open to all things new and do what you can to ensure your life works for you rather than the other way around, i.e. work to live, rather than live to work.

Venus is helpful at the end of March on the 28th and 29th. This promises support from someone in a position of influence. Or, finding the right team to work alongside. Lean on other people when necessary and don’t feel you have to go it alone.

Saturn Rules Partnership

This is another key feature of your current astrology as Aquarius, your opposite sign, begins to take prominence. Firstly, communication planet, Mercury retreats into Aquarius on the 4th and turns direct here on the 10th. This could be a significant turning point for a close relationship.

If you want to have a big conversation with someone in your life, whether personal or professional, do so on or after the 10th. The 22nd is another key date for negotiations, especially with regard to your work and future path.

More importantly, your partner planet, Saturn, is on the move. For the first time in 30 years, Saturn enters Aquarius on the 22nd where it remains until July 1st. It returns to Aquarius on December 17th where it remains for the subsequent two years.

As Saturn rules endings and commitment, this could go either way depending on your personal situation. A joint venture or business partnership could come to an end. Or, a personal relationship reaches a peak point. You need to decide whether you’re on or off. There are no in-betweens when Saturn takes charge.

To add to the heat of the situation, passionate Mars enters Aquarius on the 30th and immediately joins Saturn at 0 degrees Aquarius on the 31st.

This can play out in different ways but it’s important to note that this will be a definitive time for your one-to-ones. You’re either giving a relationship your all. Or perhaps, you encounter an individual who’s going to play a significant role in your life moving forwards. One way or another, it’s a tipping point.

VIRGO (23 August – 22 September)

Use The Timing of Astrology To Guide You To Success: Weekly Star Guide

LIBRA (23 September – 23 October)

Love & Relationships

Venus, your ruling planet, moves out of Aries and your relationship sector on the 5th. However, that doesn’t mean that relationships aren’t important in March. In fact, a lot of key planetary activity is lighting up the romance and relationship sectors of your horoscope.

Firstly, communication planet, Mercury, retreats back into Aquarius and your romance sector on the 4th. It turns direct here on the 10th and changes star sign on the 16th. Mercury’s change of direction often brings new information to light or you hear news you’ve been waiting for.

Sometimes, you change your mind, perhaps about a love relationship. You can, however, start to be more confident about making key decisions once Mercury is back on track. And, if someone reappears from your past, get to know them better, pick up where you left off and initiate any important conversations.

Also, later this month on the 20th, the Sun enters Aries and your opposite star sign. This is the date of the Equinox, a symbol of fresh starts. Plus, four days later, there’s a New Moon in Aries, a symbol of new beginnings. Whether you meet someone new or you’re starting over with someone already in your life, this is a lively vibe for love and relationships.

Sometimes, your energy dips when the Sun is in your opposite sign. Other people have the upper hand and you may find yourself in a competitive situation once the Sun enters Aries.

If so, dig deep and find your inner confidence. This is especially important if you’re pitching for a job or contract or you’re at an audition or interview. Other people will battle hard so ensure that you’re ready and raring to go as well.

A Deeper Understanding

What may help is to understand yourself on a deeper level. Venus, your ruler, enters Taurus on the 5th where it remains throughout March. Taurus is one of the hidden sectors of your horoscope and it’s an ideal time to pursue self-development or gain more insight about your inner motivations.

This is especially true for you when Venus aligns with Uranus on the 8th. You could have a flash of insight or inspiration on or around this date. Uranus is taking you into places you’ve not explored before, whether you’ve recently encountered death or the dark side of life.

Sometimes, it’s when you step more fully into the breadth of life experiences that you learn more about yourself. This is potentially what’s happening throughout March.

Practical Matters

On a more practical level, Taurus rules money and joint finances in your horoscope. Here, there may be sudden changes, perhaps linked to your family, your home or a property deal.

At the same time as Venus is cruising through Taurus, you have Mars the action planet in Capricorn and your home and family sector. This is a powerful placing for Mars and it’s reigniting issues around home and family, your past and where you come from.

This is a good time to be pro-active and get ahead, especially if you’re keen to renovate your home, move somewhere new or meet up with long-lost family.

The period around the 20th to the 23rd feels full on as Mars encounters Jupiter in Capricorn on the first date and Pluto in Capricorn on the second date. Jupiter is the planet of good fortune, urging you to expand where you live or expand your family. Reach out and reconnect when Mars and Jupiter unite.

The Mars/Pluto conjunction is more challenging as it can bring matters to a head. If you’re in a situation where control is an issue or someone dominates, this combination could coincide with an ultimatum. Be wary of what you get involved in and be wary of other people who throw their weight around. Take a step back if necessary.

Come the 28th/29th of the month, Venus, your ruler teams up with Jupiter and Pluto in a supportive connection. This is a much better opportunity to work things out with loved ones, an estate agent or another individual connected to home and family affairs.

Work Flow

Up until the 20th, the Sun is in Pisces and Mercury returns here on the 16th. There’s a flow around your work and health with this combination. The Full Moon on the 9th highlights your work and routine, your lifestyle and your health. Do whatever’s necessary so you feel in flow. Find work that’s meaningful and be of service to others.

If you’re looking for work, Mercury’s return to Pisces is ideal for chasing people up. Think second chances and try again where you failed earlier this year. Also, get on the right side of other people and use your diplomatic skills to ensure you’re a good team. This will help your life to go with the flow.

Saturn Enters Aquarius

Finally, there’s a major move this month when Saturn enters Aquarius on the 22nd. It remains here until July 1st and returns to Aquarius on December 17th where it stays for the subsequent two years. Aquarius not only rules romance in your horoscope, also children & pregnancy, entertainment, creative projects and luck.

Basically, it’s the good things in life. Therefore, on the one hand, you might find it easier to commit to a hobby or leisure activity. You might be ready to start a family or spend more time with your kids. Wherever you find Saturn, you can be more focused as your levels of self-disicpline are heightened.

Yet, remember that Saturn can flag up an obstacle and is one of the planets linked to endings. Therefore, it could be make-or-break time for a relationship. Or perhaps, you have to make a tough decision regarding a child.

Mars enters Aquarius on the 30th and meets Saturn on the 31st. This could highlight an issue or situation for your partner. Or perhaps, you’re forced to make a significant decision about one of the areas mentioned above. There will be more ease and flow in this area of your horoscope once Jupiter joins in at the end of 2020.

SCORPIO (24 October – 22 November)

The Mars Factor

Your planet Mars has been in Capricorn since February 16th and Mars is strong in Capricorn and your communication sector. However, communication planet, Mercury, has been retrograde since February 17th. Therefore, as much as you may have wanted to get ahead and make things happen, Mercury retrograde often flags up a stop-start scenario.

This means that when Mercury turns direct on the 10th, you get the green light. Any news you’ve been waiting for or information you require could transpire at this time. It’s a positive time to chase things up too, especially if post has gone missing or you’re waiting on other people to help you out.

After the 10th, Mars is back in action big-time and you’re wise to make the most of this. Capricorn not only rules communication, also study and teaching, your local community and neighbourhood. You might be ready to speak your mind or use your voice to get heard. You may be studying for a test or exam or want to play a key role in your local neighbourhood.

Get things moving in these areas of your life and reconnect with neighbours or siblings. The key period in this respect is the 20th to 23rd. Firstly, Mars unites with Jupiter on the 20th and this combination is fast and furious. Jupiter is the planet of opportunity and good fortune, encouraging you to share your wisdom and experience and join forces with other people in making a difference.

Whether you’re on a social mission, you want to help others or you’re busy writing, this combination helps you to get things moving and fast. Expand your reach, find a publisher, get your voice heard in the media. Podcast, talk, be on the radio.

The 23rd is significant too because Mars and Pluto join forces, your co-rulers. This combination sometimes feels intense, even obsessive. You could find yourself in a position of significant power. Don’t give up easily and be resilient. Dig deep to ensure you achieve your goals. One word of caution is to choose your battles wisely. Mars does like a fight and this is strong Mars’ energy.

People & Relationships

Also, this month it’s a good idea to get the right people on your side. Venus, your partner planet, is in Taurus from the 5th, your opposite star sign. Venus teams up with Jupiter and Pluto on the 28th and 29th. Look out for a person, possibly a woman, in a position of influence, someone who can help you moving forwards. Get on the right team in March and you can go far.

Venus in Taurus promises a sensual love life. Plus, you have Uranus, the alternative planet, currently in Taurus and, on the 8th, Venus and Uranus come together. This date is potentially romantic for you. There’s a Sun/Neptune conjunction in Pisces and your romance sector on the same day.

If you’re in a relationship or married, make the most of this stunning planetary activity and do something special. If you’re looking for love, get out and about and go somewhere new as love could come into your life unexpectedly.

The Full Moon on the 9th feels both social and romantic for you. Certainly, it’s a time to embrace love and life and feel the depth of your emotions. Be open to friendship, spend quality time with your kids and do more of what you love.

The Pisces vibe continues throughout March as the Sun is in Pisces until the 20th and Mercury returns to Pisces on the 16th. This is one of the most creative sectors of your horoscope so use it well.

Take up a hobby, prioritise fun and entertainment, ensure you play as well as work. You need dreams and inspiration in life to keep you feeling fulfilled. Explore something new from the 11th to the 14th when your creative juices are in full flow.

Home & Family Affairs

Communication planet Mercury highlights another area of your life this month as it moves back into Aquarius on the 4th. It then turns direct here and leaves Aquarius on the 16th. Aquarius rules your home and family, your past and where you come from. You may be readdressing a situation or issue in these areas of your life as Mercury switches direction.

It’s a good time to talk to family or discuss a home or property move. Once Mercury is back up to speed, you can get things moving again and make any key decisions in your life.

Plus, on the 22nd, there’s an important shift as Saturn enters Aquarius. Saturn remains here until July 1st and is back in Aquarius on December 17th where it remains for the subsequent two years.

This is big astrology as it takes Saturn 30 years to circuit the zodiac. If you’re old enough, think back to the last time Saturn was in Aquarius and whether this coincided with major moves regarding your home and family.

Saturn is the planet of commitment, responsibility and authority. For some of you, this may be a time when you’re thinking about putting down roots or settling somewhere new.

For others, there could be a significant ending in this area of your life, perhaps a break with the past. Or, you may find yourself caught up with your parents or your ancestry. You could be returning to the past in a way you hadn’t envisaged.

Also, your planet Mars joins Saturn in Aquarius on the 30th and they unite at 0 degrees Aquarius on the 31st. This is important for you and it’s likely that events at the end of this month require your input. You may need to make some tough decisions. Or perhaps, you’re stepping in to support someone close to you. Do whatever’s necessary.

Work & Health Goals

Finally, the Sun’s move into Aries on the 20th signifies the Equinox. Four days later, there’s a New Moon, a symbol of new beginnings, in this same sector of your horoscope.

Aries rules your work and health, your lifestyle and routine, also service to others. It’s here where you can make a fresh start and feel re-motivated to boost your energy and crack on with your work goals.

SAGITTARIUS (23 November – 21 December)

Mercury Moves

Mercury’s on the move this month as it retreats back into Aquarius on the 4th. This is still the Mercury retrograde phase but it could feel easier for you once Mercury leaves behind the watery world of emotional Pisces.

Pisces rules your home and family sector, your past and where you come from. When Mercury is retrograde in this sector of your horoscope, sometimes you’re transported back into the past or you find that your emotions are foreground as sentiments run strong.

Once Mercury is back in Aquarius, there’s less floating around and confusion and more structure and logic. Mercury works better in an air sign than it does in a water sign. Aquarius also rules your communication sector. Therefore, you may find that you’re thinking more clearly and it’s a good idea to start making lists and manage your time well.

Mercury’s change of direction comes on the 10th when Mercury switches bak to forward motion after three weeks on go-slow. This is often a significant turning point, whether important information comes to light or you hear news you’ve been waiting on. 

For you, it’s a positive date to chase up correspondence or get back in touch with anyone who’s gone quiet on you. Reopen the lines of communication once Mercury’s back up to speed.

Saturn Enters Aquarius

Mercury remains in Aquarius until the 16th but there’s a more important planetary shift taking place. This is the fact that Saturn enters Aquarius on the 22nd where it remains until July 1st. Saturn then returns to Aquarius on December 17th where it stays for the subsequent two years.

This is an important planetary move as it takes Saturn 30 years to circuit the zodiac. If you’re old enough, think back to the last time Saturn was in Aquarius and what was important for you then. This is your communication sector, ruling the spoken and written word and linked to study and teaching. 

As Saturn rules commitment and discipline, you might be considering a course of study or want to train as a teacher and pass on your wisdom. This is a strong transit for writing too and becoming a voice of authority.

For some of you, this may coincide with taking on a more significant role in your community, your neighbourhood. Aquarius rules siblings and close relatives. However, as Saturn is the planet of endings, this could also be a time when you decide to take a step back from a leadership role.

Home & Family

This may be linked to what’s happening within your family, at home or with regard to your career or future path. Returning to the star sign, Pisces, this area of your life continues to pull you forwards. The Sun is in Pisces until the 20th and Mercury returns to Pisces on the 16th, although no longer retrograde.

Therefore, the ebb and flow of family life, your legacy, your connection to the past continues to draw you in. The Full Moon on the 9th highlights these key issues and the Full Moon is a time of clarity and intuition. This is when the Sun in Pisces and your home and family sector opposes the Moon in Virgo and your career and vocation sector.

During this Full Moon, you may feel more emotional as your sentiments are stirred. It’s a good date for making decisions related to your work and family. You may find your priorities shifting. Or perhaps, external circumstances mean that you need to rethink your working life or your commitment to loved ones.

Also, when Mercury is back in Pisces from the 16th onwards, you could reconsider a home move or be ready to get back in touch with someone from your past. Follow wherever your intuition leads you and tie up any loose ends in these areas of your life.

Money Matters

Money is a key factor this month, thanks to the emphasis on the star sign Capricorn and your personal money sector. This is where you find Jupiter, your ruling planet, and Jupiter remains here all year. It’s active this month on the 11th, 20th and 28th. 

Also, action planet Mars is in Capricorn until the 30th. The key dates here are the 20th when Mars and Jupiter unite and the 23rd when Mars and Pluto unite. The Mars/Jupiter conjunction is fiery and feisty and requires bold moves around money matters. As Jupiter is the planet of luck and good fortune, you may receive a gift or bonus. It’s potentially a good date to take a risk around money.

Three days later on the 23rd, the Mars/Pluto conjunction is less convincing. You may find yourself in a battle around money. Or perhaps, you’re dealing with a debt or loss. Certainly, Pluto invites you to go in deep and this whole combination feels intense. 

You need to be bold and courageous when it comes to money matters and be clear where your intentions lie. Also, ensure you value yourself highly and you don’t allow other people to dent your confidence. If you need to cut your losses, you could choose to do during this period.

However, note that Saturn leaves Capricorn on the 22nd and this could be the start of an easier period for you financially. Saturn’s been in Capricorn since December 2017 and it can coincide with lack or hardship. 

You may be grateful for Saturn moving on, although it does dip back into Capricorn for the last six months of the year. Certainly, it looks as if there’s going to be a significant shift around money and finances during this key period in the month.

Other factors to consider include Venus in Taurus from the 5th onwards. Taurus rules your work and health sector and Venus is the planet of relating. Therefore, ensure that work is social and you have supportive people in your life on a daily basis. This combination can be fun and is great for teamwork.

Fire Sign Joy

Finally, the Sun moves into fire sign Aries on the 20th, the day of the Equinox. You may feel a surge of energy on or around this date. Sometimes, it can be unsettling for you when planets are lolling around in emotional water signs. You prefer action, motivation and spontaneity.

This comes in spades once the Sun is in Aries followed by a New Moon in Aries on the 24th. Set some new intentions around love and romance, children and pregnancy, entertainment, creative projects, luck and play. Bring more joy and pleasure into your life and do more of what you love.

CAPRICORN (22 December – 20 January)

Saturn Leaves Capricorn

This could turn out to be an important month of the year for you and there are a couple of major reasons why. Firstly, your planet Saturn changes star sign on the 22nd. Saturn leaves Capricorn and enters Aquarius, your personal money sector.

This is always an important shift of planetary energy as Saturn stays in one sector of your horoscope for just over two years. Saturn has been in Capricorn since December 2017. 

As Saturn is the planet of authority, commitment and discipline, notice where you’ve stepped up your game or become more serious about your personal goals and aims. As with all the planets, there is a flip side to Saturn and sometimes it can slow you down or indicate a period of hard work or hardship. 

Some of you may find that things start to move quicker this month, especially once Mercury turns direct on the 10th. This is one of March’s key turning points but there are other significant dates too.

Capricorn Activity

This has a lot to do with the other planets in your star sign Capricorn. Mars has been here since February 16th but this has coincided with Mercury retrograde since February 17th. Usually, when Mars is in your star sign, this is a go-for-it period when you feel revved up and ready for action.

Capricorn rules not only your personal goals and aims, also your image and profile and how the world sees you. It’s about your physical body as well, your strength. Mars is a strong, masculine energy, great for training or getting fit. It’s a brave and bold planet and a good time to make courageous moves when Mars marches through your star sign.

The key period for Mars this month is the 20th to the 23rd. Mars teams up with Jupiter in Capricorn on the first date and Pluto in Capricorn on the second date. Jupiter is the planet of opportunity and good fortune. You may experience a win on or around the 20th and feel fired up. 

Pluto’s influence is more intense. Yes, it’s the planet of transformation but it also symbolises power and loss. Be wary of power games when Mars and Pluto come together. 

You could be up against someone who’s an invincible force. Or perhaps, you’re the one who needs to stand your ground. There’s a lot happening in your star sign this month so pace yourself and choose your battles wisely. 

Love & Connections

Venus promises a lighter, more playful influence as she graces your fellow earth sign Taurus from the 5th. Taurus rules romance in your horoscope, also children, creativity, entertainment and luck. Be indulgent and bring more joy and pleasure into your life. 

The 8th feels particularly uplifting when Venus and Uranus unite. Sometimes, this can coincide with falling in love. Whatever opportunity arises, you’re wise to act fast and be spontaneous to make the most of this lively planetary influence. And, be there for the ones you love if necessary.

The Pisces’ influence remains strong this month, especially around the Full Moon on the 9th. This is the date before Mercury turns direct and it’s an ideal time to trust your intuition. The light of the Full Moon often brings clarity and Mercury turning direct can bring information to light or you receive news that you’ve been waiting on.

Pisces is an emotional water sign and in your communication sector, this is about making genuine connections with other people. Expand your reach and do what feels right. Pisces rules siblings and neighbours, also your local community. The Sun is here until the 20th and Mercury re-enters Pisces on the 16th. In fact, Mercury isn’t out of its shadow phase in Pisces until the 29th.

Therefore, the theme of reconnection remains strong. Follow up on conversations or chase up past connections. Read more, watch movies and feed your imagination. This can be a creative phase for you when you need dreams to believe in and people in your life who stir your soulful nature.

Money Moves

Money is also an important factor this month as Mercury retreats back into Aquarius on the 4th, turns direct here on the 10th and remains in your personal money sector until the 16th. Any decisions you make after the 10th could prove beneficial. Chase up any monies owing from earlier in the year.

The big move, however, is your ruler Saturn entering Aquarius on the 22nd where it remains until July 1st. Saturn then returns to Aquarius on December 17th where it stays for the subsequent two years. Decide what you’re ready to commit to and where you’re ready to move on. These are Saturn’s themes, planning financial long-term goals, also stopping any drains on your money.

Aquarius will be the star sign of the moment in 2021. Hopefully, if you’ve made the most of the powerful planetary energy in Capricorn, you value yourself highly and you’re ready to expand your horizons, play big and make the right moves. 

The Equinox

Finally, the Sun’s move into Aries on the day of the Equinox, the 20th highlights your home and family sector, your connection to the past. The New Moon on the 24th also falls in Aries, a symbol of new beginnings. You may be on the move or ready to put energy into family affairs.

AQUARIUS (21 January – 18 February)

2021 promises to be a big year for you and it’s this month, March 2020, which could point you in the right direction. In fact, this is likely to be one of the most important months of the year for you and there are a couple of reasons why.

Mercury in Aquarius

Firstly, Mercury re-enters your star sign, Aquarius, on the 4th where it remains until the 16th. As March begins, Mercury is still in its retrograde phase and has been on go slow until February 17th. When Mercury moves back into Aquarius, this feels easier for you. You may know what you want or find it easier to plan and get organised.

The turning point comes on the 10th when Mercury switches direction in Aquarius and begins its forward motion once again. Look out for a green light on or around this date, listen out for news or information that you’ve been waiting on.

Also, it’s an excellent date to initiate an important conversation, chase up correspondence or return to an idea or project that you began earlier this year. You may find it easier to think straight and make key decisions in your life from the 10th onwards.

Saturn’s Big Move

The big move, however, involves your ruling planet, Saturn. Saturn has been in Capricorn and the most hidden sector of your horoscope since December 2017. This month, on the 22nd, Saturn enters your star sign, Aquarius, for the first time in approximately 30 years. It takes Saturn almost 30 years to circuit the zodiac.

It might be helpful to think back to the last time Saturn was in Aquarius and what it meant for you then. Saturn does leave your star sign on July 1st this year but re-enters Aquarius on December 17th where it remains for the subsequent two years. And, in 2021, Saturn will be joined by Jupiter, a powerful duo.

So consider what this means for you. What are you ready to commit to? Alternatively, what do you want to bring an end? Saturn is the planet of authority and responsibility, also hard work and effort. Sometimes, when Saturn is in your star sign, this helps you flex your levels of self-discipline and you find you’re ready to commit to a new project or goal. You might be willing to take on a position of leadership too.

Yet, this can also coincide with a period in your life when you take on too much or you’re working overly hard. Be aware that this is possible and keep close tabs on your health, your attitude and well-being. Don’t allow the gloomy side of Saturn to take hold. Be vigilant.

Getting Tough & Letting Go

For some of you, the end of the month will be a time when you feel fired up and ready for a new challenge. This is because action planet, Mars, joins Saturn in Aquarius on the 30th and they meet at 0 degrees Aquarius on the 31st. This is strong planetary energy, great for physical goals and being bold and courageous. You may need to stand your ground and lay down the law.

Be wary of which battles you commit to and notice where your competitive nature kicks in. Also, ask whether you’re becoming too rigid or stubborn. It’s an important time for self reassessment with such strong planetary influence in your star sign.

There is a theme of letting things go as well during March and bringing certain matters to completion or an ending. This is because there’s strong influence on your previous star sign, Capricorn and the most hidden sector of your horoscope. Mars is here until the 30th and on the 20th and 23rd, there are powerful planetary aspects taking place.

Firstly, Mars unites with Jupiter in Capricorn on the 20th, then Pluto in Capricorn on the 23rd. The Mars/Jupiter combination could coincide with a religious experience or an inner breakthrough. You may be on retreat or be delving deep into a personal growth or transformational process. This could also be the theme of the Mars/Pluto conjunction as Pluto can take you deep within.

If you are under pressure or feeling stressed, however, consider carefully whom you want to be around and where you need to stop and let go. Powerful individuals could take their toll on your well-being, especially if someone’s energy is draining or too intense. Be firm and resolute with yourself and others.

Getting In Flow

Money matters require your attention this month but you may feel more in flow once Mercury is direct. The communication planet re-enters Pisces and your money sector on the 16th and only leaves its shadow phase on the 29th. So, there is a theme of revisiting money or reviewing your assets, possessions or values.

The Sun is in Pisces until the 20th and there’s a glorious Full Moon cutting across the Virgo/Pisces axis of the horoscope on the 9th. This Full Moon gains support from other planets and it’s a powerful date to make a key decision around money. For some of you, there may be an unexpected gift or bonus. Or perhaps, you have a revelation which helps you decide what steps to take next.

This could be linked to your home and family, your past or where you come from. You may find that good karma is repaid on or around the Full Moon. Plus, you currently have Uranus, your co-ruler in Taurus and your home and family sector. From the 5th, Venus, the planet of love and money is in this same sector of your horoscope.

And, on the 8th, Venus and Uranus unite. This combination promises the unexpected, a surprise get-together or a move that helps things slot into place. You might find the perfect lodger or dream home; you could come up with a way to make life easier for you and the ones you love. Use this powerful planetary energy to move things forward in a good way.

A Fresh Start

Finally, this month, the Sun’s move into Aries on the 20th heralds the Equinox and the start of a new zodiacal year. Aries rules your communication sector and it’s a spontaneous fiery energy which feels positive for you. Also, for your relationships as the Sun is your partner planet.

There’s a New Moon in Aries on the 24th, a symbol of new beginnings. Wherever you’ve felt held back in life, leap into action and get things moving. The New Moon in Aries promises a fresh start.
