Astrological monthly forecast for March 2024
The month of March is named after Mars, the Roman god of war.
According to the Roman calendar, March (or Martius) was the first month of the calendar year.
March also marks the beginning of the astrological new year with the entry of the Sun into Aries, the first day of spring or the vernal equinox.
That’s why March always feels like a new beginning, a month of hope.
March 2024 starts promisingly with the Sun in Pisces sextile Jupiter in Taurus!
In the first ten days of March 2024, our cosmic messenger Mercury makes its way through the waters of Pisces. With Mercury in Pisces we are more attuned to our emotions and those of others. Mercury in Pisces makes thought processes more imaginative, colorful and intuitive and can be a catalyst for change.
With zero retrograde planets and a planetary Stellium in independent and forward-looking Aquarius, the pace of life increases in March 2024.
With the composite energy of Venus, Mars and Pluto in Aquarius, the progressive sound of Aquarius will echo in March 2024!
Themes such as innovative leadership, political and economic issues, social change, restructuring, sustainability and the management of our natural resources remain topical, while transformations and upheavals take concrete forms.
Mars in Aquarius plays the leading role in the first three weeks of March 2024 and brings a clear message. Together we are strong!
Together we are strong to fight for freedom, equality and protection of those who need it in a rapidly changing world.
Astrologically speaking, the peaceful age of Aquarius has arrived, but that does not mean that there is peace on Earth, on the contrary.
Our fundamental freedom, to live in freedom with each other, freedom of speech, freedom of expression with respect for our individuality, our fundamental right, has never been so heavily fought.
Much can be accomplished in March 2024, but tensions may arise in interpersonal relationships and groups, there may be protests, struggles for leadership in politics and labor collectives.
March 2024 shows a ‘quiet’ start, but the atmosphere becomes more intense after the New Moon in Pisces on March 10, 2024.
This increasing tension is also related to the exact tension square formed on March 9 and 10, 2024 between Mars and Uranus at 19º on Taurus/Aquarius.
Mars, the embodiment of masculine energy in innovative Aquarius square unpredictable Uranus in unyielding Taurus, could be the big explosive wake-up call of 2024.
There may be sensational news that may be related to a natural disaster or transport delay or a transport disaster, such as by plane or train.
With the planetary occupation in Pisces in March 2024, we also have to take flooding, mudslides and problems at sea.
The positioning of Pluto on the first degree of Aquarius this month may be the cause of major problems with electricity supply and an increased risk of landslides, but it also has a major influence on power relations in the Middle East and the US.
From March 11 to May 15, 2024, Mercury travels through the fiery spring sign of Aries.
Financially, the middle of the month will be an ambiguous period.
Additional purchasing power also means more money is spent.
With Mercury in Aries, action is driven by impulse, so initiatives can be taken to generate money.
The Eclipse Season begins in the second half of March 2024 and will bring about massive changes on a collective level and in our personal lives until mid-April 2024.
Keep in mind that Mercury goes retrograde in Aries next month, so in the second half of March 2024 (from March 22, 2024) we will be in Mercury’s ‘retrograde shadow period’.
We then have to take delays in the areas of media, internet and transport into account.
The first round of the Russian presidential elections will take place on March 17, 2024.
Of course, Vladimir Putin will win, but the situation in Ukraine is expected to escalate again, with increasing hostilities and challenges for Russia.
The European Union will face internal divisions among its member states, with potential shifts towards greater national independence and significant changes within the EU.
Economically, Russia is facing difficulties due to sanctions and trade restrictions.
A promising energy will emerge in the second half of March 2024!
Jupiter in Taurus continues to grow towards an exact conjunction with Uranus in Taurus.
Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Taurus shows a period of structural global changes and innovations affecting governments, international relations, economies, technologies and financial systems.
From March 20 to May 20, 2024, the innovative, creative and surprising energy of Uranus in Taurus is magnified by Jupiter in Taurus, which can contribute to stability and prosperity.
We can then expect changes in the financial market, but also in the field of climate change.
This exact conjunction falls on 21º Taurus from April 18 to 21, 2024.
On March 21, 2024, the Sun enters the Spring sign of Aries, the birth point, the beginning.
The astronomical beginning of Spring and the beginning of the astrological year. We celebrate the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. The Sun rises exactly in the east and sets exactly in the west, so day and night are the same length.
In Aries, connection is turned into action. The Sun grows in strength and fertile nature comes back to life.
A particularly powerful period in which new energy can lead to constructive change in ourselves and in the world around us.
On March 22, 2024, Venus and Saturn will form an exact conjunction at 12º in the water sign of Pisces, the beginning of a new cycle. With this conjunction, confidence grows for better cooperation at work and dedication in relationships.
A day later on March 23, 2024, red Warrior Mars enters the water sign of Pisces.
Red Warrior Mars travels through Pisces until April 30, 2024. Mars in Pisces is more thoughtful, so it’s wise to finish things before starting something new.
Mars in Pisces brings us into contact with what drives us inside, so it is positive for spiritual and creative projects and selflessly dedicating yourself to a good cause.
The cyclical Moon’s Nodes will remain on the Aries/Libra axis in 2024, so the theme of polarization remains current. The Lunar Nodes are intertwined with the cycles of the eclipses.
There will be no fewer than three eclipses in 2024 on the Aries/Libra axis.
The first Eclipse of 2024 is an annular or penumbral Lunar Eclipse on March 25, 2024.
This Lunar Eclipse at 5º07 in Libra is the sequel to the Solar Eclipse in Libra on October 14, 2023.
A relationship or situation that arose then can be ended with this Lunar Eclipse.
Astrologically speaking, 2024 is an important year for the United States due to the 2024 Eclipses on the Aries/Libra axis. In any case, shifts are coming and the importance of balance is emphasized. It’s time to evaluate partnerships and find balance in different aspects of life.
This Lunar Eclipse has the most influence on the cardinal signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.
On Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024, summer time starts and the clocks go forward one hour.
In this polarized world, the drive for progress and individual freedom is unprecedented, personal, social and collective. The storm has not subsided yet…
The unrest in the atmosphere and on earth is enormous, we see this not only in climatic conditions, but also in continuous unexpected events, unrest, desperation, addiction, escapism, scarcity and violence.
Our world will continue to evolve, nothing will remain as it has been.
Fortunately, in these turbulent times we can count on the underlying spiritual healing energy of the North Node conjunct the Wounded Healer Chiron in Aries.
The more we realize that we are destroying our planet and thus ourselves, change is possible.
We have to do it together, otherwise it will never work.
It is up to us whether we make the choice to move our lives toward a higher purpose or whether we continue to follow the path of greed and destruction.
Holding on to a common goal and not losing sight of our authentic self contributes to a stronger collective consciousness.
We have to do it together, otherwise nothing will change.
I hope that this beautiful Spring Equinox month can bring us greater appreciation and awareness of the beauty within yourself and the wonderful world we live in.
