Creative flow, Intuition and sitting in indecision - Astrology of March 2024
The energy at the start of the month feels mostly harmonious. After moving through the gateway of upper limits (if you chose too) at the end of February the start of March brings ease when it comes to opportunities and abundance. With a little effort the energy turns in your favour.
The tricky day to navigate is the 4th with the potential for something out of the blue (don't say I didn't warn you!) be especially careful here when it comes to money and matters of the heart. On the 9th there is inspiring deep intuitive insight through connection, communication and journaling.
The Pisces new moon occurs on the 10th and while itis a great time to set intentions around deepening your creativity, connecting with your dreams, your intuition, your spiritual practices, know that this Moon is being influenced by some other energies bringing in that element of uniqueness and change, unexpected accidents, anger or frustration. So be extra careful with this moon and be sure to be moving your body.
Venus begins her tour through Pisces on the 12th and This energy is dreamy, magical and creative. The divine feminine within us is bringing love, pleasure, personal values, money into the Piscine areas of our chart. Allow yourself to indulge in the sweetness of life. Take some time to do something that feeds your soul, something you value dearly, that truly brings you joy!
There's extra creative and spiritual energy around on the 17th and then we begin again. The 20th marks the equinox and the start of the new Astrological year as the Sun moves into Aries. There is also room for progression in transformation on the 22nd. This could feel uncomfortable because sometimes putting boundaries on what we love is tricky. You might just be bringing another level of maturity to the aspects of your divine feminine.
As the month draws to a close you might feel the need to escape this reality or find yourself suppressing your emotions. Take extra care around the 25th as eclipse season begins. What do you need to let go of? No rituals, no ceremonies, this energy is dynamic enough! Happy March!
