Your Weekly Horoscope for March 28, 2021
Alex Sandoval
According to weather folklore that stems from ancestral beliefs, March might come in like a lion, but it's supposed to go out like a lamb. This year, March isn't exactly exiting the stage quietly. With impulsive, daring Aries season about to be in full swing — by the end of this week, the sun, Venus, and soon, Mercury will all be in the fire sign — and a relationship-oriented full moon shaking things up, this will be a dynamic week to head into with eyes wide open.
A week that was made for speaking up — especially when it comes to matters of the heart — kicks off on Sunday, March 28 with a Libra full moon that's exact at 2:48 p.m. ET/11:48 a.m. PT. Partnership-loving Libra is ruled by romantic Venus, which already made this full moon all about relationships, but it will also oppose Venus, currently in Aries. If you're single, you might want to spend your time with someone who's really not right for you just to assuage loneliness. If you're attached, underlying tensions with your S.O. could arise. But because the moon also forms a harmonious trine to serious Saturn, there could be a positive upshot to all of this challenging madness: You may arrive at a more mature, serious frame of mind or commitment once the storm has passed.
The next day, Monday, March 29, communicator Mercury and dreamy Neptune pair up in watery, imaginative Pisces, making it a day to immerse yourself in creative or spiritual pursuits.
On Tuesday, March 30, social Venus in Aries forms a friendly sextile to taskmaster Saturn in Aquarius, amplifying the need to connect with others. And as with the full moon, given Saturn's involvement, this aspect is all about a particularly serious, grounded form of love and affection.
Wednesday, March 31, the month wraps up with the confident sun in Aries forming a helpful sextile to Saturn in Aquarius, cranking up perseverance, focus, and determination. If you can be methodical, you should be able to get things done and feel like the end result is solid.
On Friday, April 2, communicator Mercury sextiles powerful Pluto, and surface-level convos just won't cut it. You'll want to go deep and truly understand your friend, colleague, or partner on a whole different level and come away from the interaction transformed.

Finally, the week wraps up on Saturday, April 3 with the first planetary shift of the month: Messenger Mercury joins the sun and Venus in Aries, bringing a bolder, more assertive, and hair-trigger vibe to the way we express ourselves, think, research, and connect.

Do you feel seen and fulfilled by the people you strive to see and fulfill? If you're getting the short end of the stick, it's time to talk it out and work toward reciprocity. And from Saturday, April 3 to Monday, April 19, messenger Mercury in your sign can light a fire under you to present all those big ideas you've been batting around behind the scenes.

Around Sunday, March 28, when the full moon lights up your fifth house of romance, you might feel bummed if lighthearted fun, connection, flirtation, and sexy sparks aren't exactly available in abundance at the moment.

Around Sunday, March 28, when the full moon in your fourth house of home life opposes social Venus in your tenth house of career, you could be thinking about how all that recent pressure to be a rockstar on the job is motivating, but how, right now, it might be keeping you from bonding with people you love and activities that bring you joy. Meditate on how you can exert your energy more equally between work and life, so you don't end up flirting with burnout. And on Friday, April 2, communicator Mercury in your ninth house of higher learning forms a friendly sextile to transformative Pluto in your seventh house of partnership, and you could find it's easy to brainstorm inventive, eye-opening respites from the daily grind with your S.O. or a dear friend.

Your weekly highlights: Love ❤️and Wellness 🍏
This week's full moon, on Sunday, March 28, is happening in your sign, Libra, so you'll no doubt be feeling extra sensitive — especially in regard to your closest bonds, given that it opposes your ruling planet, sweet Venus, in your seventh house of partnership. If you're single, even though you might be feeling lonely, resist the temptation to lean into a connection that's not cutting it, and think about how you might be able to offer yourself that love instead. And if you're attached and need to tackle uncomfortable terrain with your S.O., know that it'll feel better to express what's in your heart than to not. And on Monday, March 29, messenger Mercury and dreamy Neptune pair up in your sixth house of wellness, urging you to infuse your fitness efforts with a spiritual twist.

Then, while communicator Mercury is in your sixth house of wellness from Saturday, April 3 to Monday, April 19, you'll get the green light to catch up on doctor appointments you might've been putting off or research a new fitness app or piece of equipment (perhaps a Peloton bike or affordable alternative?) to add to your home gym. Although you could actually be tempted to dive right in to whatever game plan's on your mind, taking a slow, steady, calculated approach serves you best.

And from Saturday, April 3 to Monday, April 19, messenger Mercury in your fifth house of romance will have you feeling like being even more expressive and creative in how you're connecting with your partner or someone special.

Your weekly highlights: Career
and Relationships
Around Sunday, March 28, when the full moon falls in your tenth house of career, you might have an opportunity to step into the spotlight or take on a leadership position on the job. Being that you're so driven and dedicated to your work, this is no doubt music to your ears, but the emotional full moon energy — and opposition to relationship-oriented Venus in your fourth house of home life — could also have you thinking of ways to strike a better balance between your professional and personal aspirations. You can look to your ruler, taskmaster Saturn, currently in your second house of income for guidance. Focus on the tasks and projects that make you feel most valued, and you'll feel right on track. And from Sunday, April 3 to Monday, April 19, messenger Mercury in your fourth house of home life could amplify your desire to connect with loved ones and enjoy time-honored traditions.

You're no stranger to wanting to go against the status quo, but around March 28, when the full moon falls in your ninth house of adventure, you might want to break free of your same old routine. Whether you're sick of that workout you've been sticking to for weeks or just need to get out of your place and see something new, you'll be itching for fun and excitement. Thanks to a positive trine to serious Saturn in your sign, you'll do well to think pragmatically about how you can satiate not only your appetite for something new but get after personal goals now.

And on Monday, March 29, communicator Mercury and dreamy Neptune pair up in your second house of income, urging you to apply your imagination to your money-making efforts.
