March Astrology
BALANCE AND RENEWAL
March will be springing forth with fresh growth and new beginnings as we welcome the Spring Equinox in on March 20. The beginning of the astrological New Year brings with it extra wind under our wings when it comes to revisiting those personal goals.
Astrology guides us, like a cosmic compass, and helps us navigate our way through our lives with the support of the shifting energies of the sun, moon and planets. Not only do the celestial heavens watch over us, but help us understand where our strengths and weaknesses may lie, highlighting opportunities that are within reach and encouraging us to get the most out of our days.
SUN
We begin with the sun’s journey. When the Sun enter’s a new zodiac sign, it brings with it different energy. For the first half of the month the Sun will be shining in Pisces. This wise and sensitive water sign Pisces could be working its charm on you by getting your creative juices running. You may be feeling especially productive at this time…
On March 20 the Sun enters Aries, the start of the astrological year! This fiery dynamic sign may just be what we need to get a project started empowering us to take charge of our lives and initiate new action plans!
MOON

An equinox, meaning ‘equal balance’, is one of the two times of the year when the amount of daylight and nighttime hours are just about of equal length. The vernal equinox marks the start of Spring!
Spring Equinox Ideas
Plant! Sow seeds. Fun to spend seeds with a little intention scribbled on a piece of paper in the soil.
Contemplate! Light a Candle. The flame can represent creation and this little ritual can be a way to tune in to your own inner light. Light your candle, then close your eyes and take a few deep grounding breaths.
Cleanse! Clear the decks, sage the house, dust away those wintry cobwebs.
Full Moon ‘The Worm Moon’ on March 25th
Full Moon in Libra and Prenumbral Lunar Eclipse
Full moons mark the end of the monthly lunar cycle, and are a good time for healing thoughts and reflection. The full Moon in March goes by the name of the Worm Moon. The name celebrates all those wiggly earthworms that begin to appear as the soil warms inviting robins and other birds to feed!
It’s eclipse time again (this happens every six months) guiding us back to our hearts. This first lunar eclipse of 2024 dovetails with the full moon in Libra on March 25th. There will be four eclipses in 2024, each of which will bring matters to light and help us evolve.
