The week ahead is going to bring an eclipse and several planetary shifts. It is important to find a moment of peace because the frenetic energy can spread, causing us to take on the stresses and anxieties of others, making self-care more vital than ever.
Major transits for the week:
March 2: Mars dives into Pisces. Situations may become tense, but they will quickly be tempered by Mars’s desire to make things copacetic. Although drama may be occurring, it can be easily remedied at this moment.
March 3: The total “Blood Moon” lunar eclipse in Virgo. This lunar event will be extremely dramatic and explosive. All the more reason to hide under the covers as people want to pop off and let their feelings be known — all the good, bad, and ugly sentiments that they’ve been holding onto. Choose to release your energy in other productive ways to ensure that no one’s feelings get hurt.
March 4: Venus in Pisces meets up with Uranus in Taurus. We’ll want to take a walk on the wild side and let others notice the parts of ourselves we hide — except today we are being totally open, excitable, and carefree as we represent ourselves, throwing caution to the wind and living our lives.
March 5: The Sun in Pisces and Jupiter retrograde in Cancer link up. The cosmic combination of these two planets serve to ignite our passions and heighten our passions. Enjoy the intensity, vibrancy, and sparkiness that today offers.
March 6: Venus enters Aries, intensifying the way we partner with others. Our emotions are fired up, pushing us to seek out friendships and relationships that boost our confidence and make us work for affection.
March 7: The Sun and Mercury retrograde align in Pisces. We can expect communication to be concise and direct, as the energy does not allow for mincing words. There will be no room for mishaps or problems as we are geared towards total and complete control over chaotic matters at this time.
March 7: Venus and Neptune connect in Aries. We could be extremely paranoid or exhausted due to the Neptunian vibe, which is why it’s best to stay in our lanes and not create problems with others, even though we may be tempted to do so.
March 8: Venus forms a conjunction to Saturn in Aries. The need to control could cause issues. Instead of expressing ourselves in an austere way, be kind and compassionate. We never know who else is coming through, which is why we must be sensitive to everyone’s feelings.
The next few days will be marked by artistry, sentimentality, and tenderness. There may be moments when you get frustrated, but overall, the energy seems chill as you are currently trying to take on different projects at this moment in time. Relax and enjoy the sweet energy of the week.
The process of setting temporary intentions gives you a chance to implement goals and desires in the material world. Your thoughts and heartfelt sentiments can become tangible commodities as you use your talents to make our dreams a reality. This can be an extremely extraordinary week if you let it.
By keeping your focus on networking and reaching new people, you should find the attention and validation you seek. Try not to worry too much about what others might be saying about you right now. Remember that true confidence comes from within and isn’t reliant on how others view you.
Follow through with any goals you dream up, as the cosmic shifts are making you jump from goal to goal before reaching the finish line. While there is an overall cheerfulness now, you will want to be on guard and watch for a lack of patience in yourself and others.
If you feel like you need a bit of cheering up, use this energy as an excuse to spoil yourself a tiny bit, but don’t go overboard with your spending. The tension that is building up throughout the week will eventually come to a head and release, calming your mind.
If you need some healing, a meditation session will take you far. It’s a great week for resolving ego issues, thanks to the celestial helping hand. If there are any behavioral patterns, bad habits, or personal situations you’d like to be rid of, this is the moment to do it.
While there will still be work to take on, the week will flow at a comfortable pace, giving you space to tackle your to-do list with leisure. You may catch yourself daydreaming to escape the mundane — lean into these visions and desires to craft your ultimate fantasies into something meaningful.
Pleasant surprises and synchronicity are likely to cultivate this week, due to Mercury retrograde and the total lunar eclipse. Use this planetary activity as inspiration to do something sweet and unexpected for someone you care about to help spread some love and luck around. Embrace the excitement and have fun.
Pent-up aggressions find their way out, but if you find yourself on the receiving end of someone else’s temper tantrum, try to diffuse the situation diplomatically, or you could end up in some seriously hot water. Try to loosen up by meditating and taking a break from extremely frustrating matters.
Unfortunately, if you do find yourself tossing and turning throughout the night, it is the after-shock of scattered energy that is developing during the first part of the week. Another result can be organization, so take time out to rethink your responsibilities, and reassign tasks that can be put off.
This is a good week to review your finances and identify ways to reduce unnecessary costs. What can you release and what can you tighten in your budget? Getting out of your comfort zone and starting to save money can be scary and daunting, but worth it in the end.
This is your chance to set up a new story when it comes to romance. If it is a time to take a risk and leave the past behind when it comes to matters of the heart. If you want to go out, plan for a romantic dinner for two.
