Your Key Dates:

March 5: Find inner strength and show everyone just how fierce you are

March 6: Chase after your goals, address personal problems you’ve been avoiding

March 20: Prepare to go on a journey, tread lightly around gossip


You’re proud to be a Leo because you’re zodiac royalty, duh! It doesn’t really bother you when people (read: haters) call you self-involved because you know you’re a multidimensional person. On March 5, when Mercury-the planet of communication-goes retrograde, you may also find yourself drifting backwards as you reflect on the past. Through Thursday, March 28, recall the ways that your relentless quest to thrive has enabled you to push through extremely difficult times. Remember that the best validation always comes from within. You’re a natural performer but you’re also a very sensitive person who has overcome incredible odds with bravery, strength, and tenacity. Believe in your progress.

March 6 marks an extremely important cosmic milestone as Uranus (the slow-moving planet that governs innovation) cruises into the area of your chart linked to career and professional pursuits. The next seven years are going to be wildly transformative for your aspirations. With Uranus on your side, you have the power to achieve whatever the heck you desire. Naturally, this will take time to unfold, so don’t fret if change doesn’t happen overnight. There’s no need to rush when you’re building a legacy. For now, sit back, relax, and get ready for some truly magical transformation.

Coincidentally, yet another cycle begins on March 6, when a new moon in Pisces blankets the sky. This lunation is linked to ideas of intimacy and is part of a greater narrative that began on August 26, 2018. Under this velvety sky, reflect on emotional accountability. If you’ve been spending more time absorbing other people’s trauma and pain, direct your gaze inward. I know you want to fix everything, Leo, but if you really want to inspire others, you need to first unpack your own baggage.

If New Year’s Eve was a bit lackluster for you, I have fabulous news. On March 20, the sun’s motion into Aries marks the beginning of the astrological cycle. Over the next four weeks, the sun (your celestial ruler) will be activating the area of your chart linked to travel, philosophy, and intellectual expansion. Will you put some fancy stamps in your passport or will you cruise through an internet wormhole, solving some of the most enigmatic conspiracy theories? (Like, was Avril Lavigne really replaced by a clone named Melissa?!)

You’ll definitely be ready to spill some piping hot tea when the month concludes with a full moon in Libra on March 20. Full moons occur when the sun and moon-which represent truth and emotions respectfully-are in direct opposition in the sky. During this lunation, we can expect lots of juicy gossip into our orbit. Sip your Lipton slowly. Although the details are steaming rumors have a nasty way of coming back around and you don’t want to get scorched.
