Welp, this will be a long one, ya'll! Sooo much to cover so perhaps you'll want to save this and come back to it to digest in increments. I'll start by saying that March is always my favorite month astrologically - I always do my big launches around the Astro New Year. In Astrology, the New year is when Aries (1st sign of the 12 zodiac signs) Season begins. It coincides with the Spiring Equinox, marking new growth and new potential. Before we get there though we are still wading through the emotional waters of Pisces Season (Feb 19 - March 20). 

 

During Pisces Season we are asked to take a look at our inner worlds and connection to ourselves, our subconscious, our beliefs, our patterns - all the deep sh*t. Pisces Season can be like a big hug or a dark cloud depending on what's hanging out in the ole subconscious that needs to be let go. External shifts may challenge your inner strength to lock in some lessons or growth. It isn't a time to overdo or overcommit to things. Instead, what if we were with ourselves more, catering to our emotional needs, listing and connecting to ourselves? We can so easily distract ourselves with the go go go and what I call “anticipation disease” - “what's next, what's next??!”. Pause and reflect how far you've come and what you need. Can you challenge some beliefs or patterns that hold you back? Mindful practices, yoga, journaling, studying things like attachment styles, checking in on how you self sabotage, self soothe, etc. Pisces Season asks us - “do you have healthy coping skills or are you numbing out and just living in the grey, outside of your true potential?” (pssst over working can be a form of numbing out too). We all do to some degree! Pisces energy can get overwhelming so don't forget it's opposite sign of Virgo - set small goals for your day to day routine and see those small changes add up to big shifts.

 

Saturn moves into Pisces on 3/7 to lock in the above lessons! (also a full moon in Virgo this day!) This is a very big deal, it hasn't been in Pisces for since 1994-1996. When Saturn, the planet of Karma, moves signs (every ~2.5yrs) we feel it on a collective level. Pisces themes will be seen, felt and will need to be worked on. Yes, where Pisces is in your personal chart is very important for how you specifically will feel this transit - more on that later. But, collective (global) themes will surround Pisces. Saturn = hard work, commitments, dedication, lessons, challenges, restrictions, serious toned, maturation - Saturn also rules government, structures, authority, old school vibes. In Pisces, we as a whole, will be experiencing the good and bad around the things Pisces rules - belief systems (spirituality/religion), addictions, drugs and alcohol (poisons), therapy, healing, intuition, isolation/escapism, secrets, inner world / higher self, the afterlife, creativity, cinema, celebrity. Unfortunately, we as a collective can be a bit low-vibe. So, I tend to see the tough side of Saturn before we integrate the lessons it brings. 

 

Think back to March 2020 when Saturn went into Aquarius, the sign of community, equality, freedom, technology and hopes and dreams for the future. These things were restricted at first - the pandemic stripping us from our sense of belonging / friendships/ groups, our freedom, having to get used to annoying technologies and putting a damper on our dreams. But by the end of it - we learned the tough lessons on how important community is but also who is worthy of our time and energy - no more overcommitting. Things like zoom are the norm now (not to mention many advances in tech/AI) and we learned with these tools we don't need as much “face time” in offices which created more freedom and independence. We had major strides (always more work to do) with equality and race - so many lessons in how to treat each other and how to be open to learning beyond our lived experience. Also, I personally saw SO many people have the time and space to actually align with their dreams more authentically. See how Saturn gives us tough love? It always rewards hard work. 

 

In Pisces I expect to see some challenges around mental health, poisonous substances getting worse before better (water crisis in Ohio, fentanyl laced drugs, etc), blind faith / my faith vs yours (charlatans in the spiritual/religious spaces), isolation, to name a few. Perhaps a crisis that leads us to tend to our needs and deepening our beliefs. But by the end of this transit - I believe things like therapy and spirituality will be the norm (it may be the norm in some cities but trust me - this is not the “norm” in the collective yet). 

 

Are you a spiritual healer / businesses owner? This is a great transit for you! While many inauthentic spiritual people will be weeded out / exposed - the authentic ones will prevail and the world needs you AND will be more open to you. Reminds me of my tagline “taking the eyerolls out of Astrology” - maybe those eyerolls will be gone soon? People returning to or finding Religion - for the non woo-woo crew. 

 

I also believe we may not see the point in alcohol anymore - “sober curious” may be the new norm. We already see non-alc brands popping up everywhere, right? Further studies into psychedelics as therapy, less reliance on big Pharma and more addressing root causes. More studies around death and afterlife, death doulas, etc.  A sense of health within and addressing our forms of numbing out will be a big theme. We all get the chance to work hard at our inner world and inner connectedness. There is a through line in us all, in every religion, in our shared experiences/setbacks. Little kumbaya vibe is trying to emerge!

 

Where it will impact you? Where does Pisces start in your chart (pisces could fall in two houses)? This area of life is requiring some dedication. Here's an old video of mine on 'how to find things in your chart" - https://youtu.be/nyy8eGAU8BY 

Once you find where Pisces is in your chart, you can read this article on what to expect over the next few years. PS I read a ton of articles on this and didn't agree with many (lots of negative vibes around Saturn) but these are the most in depth I have found and they align the most with my experiences with Saturn. I did not want to write my own lol but find that sourcing / curating is a talent too :)

I always say that once Saturn has left a house - you can look back and be like “damn, I have that sht on lock, I am solid af there!” bc it makes you face sht and up level!

 

Jesus that was a long Saturn rant, ay? But so important! ALSO! If you have Saturn in Pisces - HELLO SATURN RETURN! Read up on Saturn return bc there is no more space for that here haha.

 

Astrological New Year!!!  (when sun enters Aries on 3/20 at 10am pst)

+ all planets direct + mars finally out of shadow = hallelujah! We've done the inner work from Pisces season and now we are asked - 'what are ya gonna do about it?".  It's time to be bold, to trust your gut, stop comparing or polling other people, take action, take the lead, initiate - it's magnetic time! You can treat the Astro New Year the way most people treat Jan 1st - set intentions, reflect back one the last year and what you've accomplished, manifest, vision board, set goals. January was filled with retrogrades and wonky as heck. This is the true new energy. Things may happen fast as this energy shifts over and we have a new moon in Aries the very next day on 3/21 - hello double dose of fresh starts and new opportunities!! 

 

Reflect : What would you do if you couldn't fail? What would you do if you had the confidence? What would you do if you shut out other people's opinions/expectations/projections? Be respectfully selfish now. It's time to plant the seeds, take the leap, make the change - it doesn't all need to come together this season, it just needs to begin. Eclispse season comes right after in April - adding to the momentum. They fall on 4/20 & 5/5  - the karmic shifting points of major change. Spring is LIT, y'all!

 

“Anotha One!” - yelled in DJ Kalid voice. If you are into Astrology / follow astrologers they're prob talking a lot about this one. But honestly - I focus more on how the individual is impacted and this is WAY more collective energy so don't get too caught up in it, imo! Yes, it's fun for us astro nerds to research but most people are just like “how does it impact meeeeee?” 

 

Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008 - (hello financial and political crises!) and now enters Aquarius from 2023 to 2044 - it does just give us a glimpse for a couple months and retrogrades back into Capricorn the rest of the year but anywho - it's major. I won't spend as much time as Saturn since that is more felt personally. Pluto is very much a "generational transit" spending ~ 20 years in each sign. It hasn't been in Aqua since 1778–1798. Pluto = transformation, extremes, research, investigating, upheaval, power, secrets, death & rebirth. Aquarius = technology, humanity, the collective, revolution, rebellion, equality, freedom, the future, innovation. 

 

One of the biggest thing this will bring is major evolution in tech / AI. Another  possibility is a revolution of sorts…nbd. We can look back at history (astrology is about cycles and themes) and last time Pluto was in Aquarius we had the Industrial Revolution and French Revolution. Power over the people is something that will be challenged - perhaps a new political system will emerge. Low vibe Aqua = god complex, know-it-all. High vibe Aqua = what are my unique skills and how can they support the group/the cause/the collective. There may be pendulum swings in each direction between power struggles vs equality and freedom. The Age of Aquarius is here. It's progress and change time! But it's a slow AF transit so while we may get a big theme emerging as it enters for real next year (or maybe these next few months when it peeks in) - for the most part it is slow change. Do a quick google search of “Pluto in Aquarius Astrology” and enjoy the rabbit hole!!

 

In your personal chart - Pluto moves so dang slow that chances are it likely isn't moving into a new house for most of us. But feel free to check the video above for where Aquarius begins in your chart - then google “Pluto transit x house” and read up! It is so slow that it becomes a background theme and it is definitely more a collectively felt energy - there are so many more important things to obsess over in your chart than this, in a nutshell. Fun nonetheless. 

 

You still with me? haha. Now onto my “Big 3”

 

Collectively for the Universal 7 year, March is a 1 month. 1 month is all about fresh starts and initiatives. Tied with the 7 year - soul aligned initiatives, starting mindful practices, studying/writing/launching things that interest you. You may still have a case of the bah-humbugs for the early days of this month, but optimism, energy, and excitement will soon turn on. The energy is giving anything is possible vibes!

Against the background of self-reflection and soul-searching year, this month's sense of freshness gives a spring in our step. I love that the 1month coincides with the Astro New Year! It's a high powered month but it's marked by your own determination and initiative. It's a great time to launch something, take on new challenges in your career, to start new endeavors, independent leaps, creative projects, be a leader… and just do the damn thing already! Reminds me of the quote - we only regret the things we don't begin - or something like that. This month is asking us to begin - in whatever way that means for you - it doesn't have to be external, it can be internal like working on what would help you feel more confident.

 

Reminder that 2023 is a Universal 7 year. The 7 holds the energy of the inward journey - the connection with the subconscious. We all, regardless of your personal year, will need to tap into our intuition. A grounded practice will be necessary this year. It's also a year of knowledge and creation - what have you been wanting to deep dive? Particularly surrounding mindfulness, intuition, writing, therapy and habits. This year will allow for emotions to bubble to the surface so that we can get to the root of limiting beliefs, self sabotage, avoidance and addictive tendencies. This is a year for everyone to FLOW rather than force. Go inward. Face the gunk and grow from within. side note : I have noticed the connection of Saturn with Numerology and Saturn into Pisces is SO 7 energy - notice all these connections?!
 

 

Ooooolala the card of the month is the Death Card! This is the card of fate. It signifies spiritual transformation and a time of change and new beginnings. And have no fear, it's a symbolic death - not actual death! “Death card represents the death of the external - could be career, relationships, family dynamics - anything that occurs outside of us and we may feel the pain of it's passing”. We are being asked to shed, to let go - beautiful representation of moving from Pisces season (end of winter) into new growth of Aries Season (spring). What needs to fall away? What external obstacles are in your way of the fresh start trying to emerge? (Projections / expectations from others could be some.). 

 

Are you clinging to things that no longer serve you because it's comfortable? Habits that hinder us can at the same time have worked at making us feel better but they act as a bandaid not a solution. This card asks - what are we overly attached to? Security comes up with this. It often times feels safer in the gunk - we can have a false sense of control in that space. What/who is holding you back from your new beginning?

 

This spiritual transformation this card represents may come from grief, loss or heartbreak that you have experienced. It can represent a difficult transition from an old situation to a new beginning.The Death card signals that one major phase in your life is ending, and a new one is going to start. But are you ready and willing to close one door, so the new one will open?  Sometimes we have to end something first with no promise for the new beginning and hope for something to emerge. That's scary - that takes trust. And sometimes when we do have an exciting change on the horizon, an opportunity for fresh start - that can still be scary because we don't have the comfort of experience! But boy, on the other side of that fear or self doubt… is magic.
 

Notice the Pluto themes in this card? Death & Rebirth…

Clean slate anyone?
