Astrological Events Happening in March 2024

We start the month with a week of silence from the stars, with Mercury sitting uncertain in Pisces. We're still struggling to collect our thoughts and communicate our perspectives, thanks to Saturn bringing a harsh reality check to view. This transit may bring insecurity, confusion, and shame, but it's also an opportunity to reflect and make positive changes. Use this time to re-evaluate your approach and build a stronger foundation. As Mercury escapes the clutches of Saturn and moves into Aries on March 9, 2024, it joins Chiron and the North Node, giving healing power to your words. So, speak kindly to yourself!

The last new moon or full moon ahead of eclipse season takes place this month on March 10, 2024, in the sign of Pisces. New moons are often championed as a chance to start fresh, but with so many life-changing transits coming in just a few weeks, now's a good time to relax and luxuriate in small pleasures. Flip on your favorite music, light some incense, spread out your tarot cards, and enjoy the revitalizing energy of the new moon.

On March 11, 2024, Venus enters Pisces, joining rigid Saturn. Under the influence of this transit, we feel pressured to take ourselves more seriously to be worthy of attention and affection. This alignment gives us the desire to take a more structured approach to our hobbies and casual pleasures, committing to a deeper level of attention. Now is a great time to engage in some reflective meditations around your awareness and unconscious feelings. Linger in the moment as long as you can. You're trying to rush ahead into the unknown–but why? Once eclipse season begins, fate takes over.

All the confusion will be cleared away once the sun enters Aries on March 19, 2024, lifting the fog and starting off Spring. We can feel a sense of change on the horizon, but the cosmos will make us wait another week for the lunar eclipse in Libra on March 25, 2024, to really get a taste of what the future holds. Eclipses are about finding your future, so it only makes sense to call new things into your life once you've absorbed the energy and lessons from each eclipse. With these eclipses happening across the Aries-Libra axis, your journey during this transit is to reimagine your identity and pursue greatness.

March 2024 Horoscopes for Each Zodiac Sign

Curious to learn what the stars have in store for you this month? We recommend reading the horoscopes for your sun and rising signs for the most accurate message.

Aries (March 20-April 19)

Your month looks pretty uneventful for the first few weeks, giving you plenty of time to develop stronger relationships with the hidden aspects of your inner self. Mercury enters your sign starting on March 9 but enters the pre-retrograde shadow right around the start of Aries season. You'll have more mental energy than time to execute your ideas for most of March, but getting outside forces to work with you is easier said than done. Pick your battles, or you might find yourself blowing the situation out of proportion. As Aries season begins, your confidence will return just in time for the lunar eclipse on March 25. It's time to prioritize yourself and focus on personal growth.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Friend or foe, Taurus? Everything about your relationships changes this month as Venus and Saturn in Pisces put pressure on your non-romantic connections. You'll feel drawn to spend more time with your friends but could suddenly end up on the receiving end of a cold shoulder without knowing what you did. This will seem like a shock for some people, while for others, you've been expecting something like this for a hot minute. Luckily, the lunar eclipse in Libra on March 25, brings movement in your work life and routines, possibly even more success and responsibility. Your star is rising once again, so it's expected those phony friends might find their way back. Don't let them gaslit you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Gemini, this is a month to surround yourself with positivity and high vibes. Your usually charming and bubbly aura might feel burdened by insecurities and self-doubt while Mercury is in Pisces, so you could use inspiration from outside sources. Communication feels unclear until Mercury enters Aries on March 9, so only make promises you can keep this month and double-check the details. You may experience conflict with authority figures at work, but don't let it dampen your spirit. Use the lunar eclipse on the 25th to inspire you to make positive changes in your life. Follow your intuition and take inspired action towards your goals.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The answers you're looking for are out there, Cancer, but it might be better to skip the adventure and stay indoors this month. You may be tempted to try and get away from your problems during the new moon in Pisces on March 10, but you can't force yourself to relax in a different destination. Before you pack your bags, be sure you're not taking your problems right along with you! Venus entering Pisces will inspire you in your creative endeavors, making it a great time to take care of any home beautification projects you had in mind ahead of the Spring Equinox on March 19. During this month's lunar eclipse, your focus on home and family may be heightened, and creating a sanctuary for yourself can offer solace in uncertain times.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You're getting your personality back this month, Leo, but you won't reach full power until the start of Aries season on March 19. With Mercury and the sun in fire signs, you'll feel your sense of radiance and confidence quickly restored. Now's the time to combine your talent with your passion and find new outlets for self-exploration. You're seeking ways to define your identity outside your past relationships or family dynamics. The lunar eclipse in Libra on March 25 will disrupt your extended network and close connections, causing some emotional truths to be suddenly revealed. You might decide you need to get away for good to finally move on.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This month, you may have to set boundaries and determine what you are willing to tolerate, Virgo. With Saturn moving through the area of your relationships and partnerships, Venus and Saturn in Pisces are putting pressure on you to stand up for yourself when people disrespect you. It's important to be clear and direct with your words because Mercury in Aries could cause unexpected problems. During the upcoming lunar eclipse in Libra, you may have the opportunity to learn some valuable lessons about boundaries, although it may not happen in the way you expect. You may experience financial challenges that require you to have a thoughtful conversation about how much you value certain things versus what you get out of them.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22)

Libra, prepare to be swept up in a whirlwind of cosmic energy this month as the stars bring big changes to your sense of self-worth and value. On March 11, Venus enters Pisces and puts pressure on your routines and health habits as Venus moves toward a conjunction with Saturn on March 21. This celestial alignment may challenge you to reassess your daily rituals and prioritize self-care. As you undergo this profound metamorphosis, be prepared for shifts in your relationships around the lunar eclipse on March 25. Your newfound sense of self-worth may cause ripples in your interpersonal connections. Some may struggle to adapt to the changes, while others will celebrate your growth and evolution. Trust that the right people will stand by your side.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This month, Scorpio, prepare for a rollercoaster ride of emotions in matters of the heart. Venus and Saturn's cosmic dance over the next few weeks may leave you feeling moody and introspective about love. You may grapple with feelings of rejection or longing for a deeper connection. The new moon in Pisces on March 10 offers you a chance to release any pent-up heartache and embrace new beginnings. By channeling your energy constructively, you'll find catharsis and a renewed sense of purpose. During the lunar eclipse in Libra on March 25, expect a profound examination of your values, particularly in money and intimacy. Are you truly sharing your deepest thoughts and desires with your partner, or are barriers holding you back?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

As Aries season ignites your spirit with boldness and enthusiasm, Sagittarius, embrace the fiery energy but proceed cautiously. The urge to assert yourself and make your presence known may be strong, but be mindful of your power over yourself and others, especially during Mercury's time in Aries. As eclipse season illuminates the depths of your heart, you may find yourself drawn to community-driven initiatives and causes that align with your values. Use the lunar eclipse in Libra on March 25 to put yourself out there. By making your presence known, you'll forge deeper connections and enrich your sense of belonging within your community.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This month, Capricorn, you might find yourself navigating a maze of misunderstandings. Sudden shifts in how other people behave around you could leave you feeling outside the loop or even purposefully slighted, with a lot of the petty drama culminating around the new moon in Pisces on March 10. Resist the temptation to get entangled in the mess and maintain your composure–the eclipses make people act weird. Keep your head down leading up to the lunar eclipse in Libra on March 25, as it'll bring a sudden shift in the circumstances that were causing earlier challenges. New information about who or what was creating resistance for you will be revealed, along with insights into how to address them.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

What began as confidence changes are manifesting as tangible shifts in your prospects, Aquarius. You're leveling up, recognizing your worth, and raising the bar for what you expect from life. It's time to see the other side, and during this month's new moon on March 10, it's your chance to align your actions with your dreams. Venus and Saturn are putting a pinch on your values for the first half of the month, meaning you might have to take an audit of your life. The lunar eclipse on March 25 casts its luminous glow upon your sphere of knowledge, education, and new philosophies, heralding a period of introspection. Use this cosmic energy to chart a path toward a more secure future.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

March brings a powerful reminder of the importance of specificity in your manifestations. The universe responds to clarity and directness, and this month's new moon on March 10 gives you a stage to ask for what you ask for in precise terms. As you navigate this month, pay close attention to the intentions you set. The lunar eclipse in Libra on March 25 may bring unexpected abundance into your life. You might find yourself with more resources or opportunities than you know what to do with. However, resisting the temptation of frivolous and impulsive spending is crucial. Instead, focus on using these blessings for better long-term investments.
