Astrological Forecast for March 2024
by Lou Valentino
It’s limited warm up time in March and more daylight will boost our spirits.
Daylight savings starts March 10th, so spring forward an hour. My birthday is on March 3rd as I turn 66 years old. Happy Birthday to all Pisces.
The astrological spotlight is on the sign of Pisces for most of March 2024.
Up till March 9th we have Sun, Saturn, Mercury, and Neptune in Pisces showing those with Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Pisces are finding a balance between the higher spiritual dimensions and the practical day to day responsibilities of life here on planet Earth.
Even though Mercury moves into the sign of Aries on March 9th, leaving Pisces, the new Moon on March 10th at 20 degrees of Pisces (5:00AM EDT), combined with Venus moving into Pisces on March 11th, the sign of Pisces is still in the spotlight along with possibly falling in love and attracting abundance.
Pisces is not known, by itself, to be the most physical dynamic sign of the Zodiac, and the abundance of water in this new Moon chart allows an ultra-sensitive personality with emotions that need calming. Do breathing techniques to flush out an overly emotional nature.
Saturn is helping Pisces keep the flood waters of emotional feelings bottled up. Saturn acts like the strong wall, dam, which stops the waters from causing an emergency flood.
Saturn normally has a less than positive personality considered malefic by nature, but it helps to have healthy boundaries with all this water building up around the new Moon.
Pisces is able to take its psychic, creative, daydreaming qualities, and mold them into something - to build (Saturn) and manifest what you want (Venus in Pisces) offering a clear direction in all areas of life both personally and professionally.
The new Moon chart, a day before Venus enters Pisces, shows both Mars and Venus conjunct in Aquarius.
Pisces should look to its friends who are born under the sign of Aquarius if they want to connect with more people. Maybe an Aquarius friend will introduce you to a new circle of friends and you will find a new romance if you are single.
Creative energies for musicians, photographers, actors and even people in sales who have Pisces energy are taking off this month.
The two T-squares in this new Moon chart point to residential moves or a job change or both happening at the same time for the signs of Taurus, Aquarius, and Pisces. A new beginning, new Moon, of your life.
Daylight Savings starts in the early morning hours of Sunday, March 10th. Temperatures will start to rise, and more daylight helps those who live in colder climates to look forward to leaving the depressive energies of hibernation.
The election in Russia will happen between March 15 to 17th. You don’t need to be an astrologer or psychic to know the troubles surrounding this country and its people. March and April are pivotal months for a war that is now in its third year.
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day on March 17th. I cannot believe it’s been 15 years since my wife Patti passed away from breast cancer on Saint Patrick’s Day in 2009. She wanted to be with her Irish mother and grandmother. Life continues forever and ever.
The Sun enters Aries on March 19th.
Happy birthday to everyone born under the sign of Aries. If you have Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Aries, this year, 2024, is a growing year since the North Node is moving through Aries and two eclipses this year are in Aries.
This helps to expand their lives in all directions, but Aries needs to slow down, or they could overplay their hands in the material world.
Aries is also the sign affiliated with war and we have seen an increase of war since the North Node moved into Aries in 2023. The only total eclipse this year, a new Moon solar eclipse, on April 8th will be in Aries.
This spells troubles in April as Mercury will station retrograde in Aries and remain in Aries for most of April. More on this in my April column. For now, let us enjoy the compassionate energies of Pisces to try and find sensitivity towards those who are victims of war crimes, gun violence and mother nature’s imbalances.
The Spring Equinox starts at 11:06PM EDT on March 19th.
It is also International Astrology Day. Time for an update on your astrological life. Groups will be gathering all over the world to celebrate an esoteric science that is gaining recognition by the day since Pluto started moving through the sign of Aquarius more strongly on Jan 20, 2024.
Just when you think Pisces is calming down, Mars moves into Pisces on March 22nd. This gives the sleepy, dreamy qualities of Pisces a confident boost till May 1st.
A wonderful time for those with Pisces energy to get back in shape for the summer days slowly approaching; to put their well-defined plans into motion before Mercury turns retrograde at the beginning of April.
All planets remain in direct motion till the beginning of April.
Palm Sunday is on March 24th, a day before the full Moon lunar eclipse in Libra at 5 degrees (3AM EDT).
Jesus Christ is the most recent example of the martyr complex associated with Pisces. The late prophet Edgar Cayce said Jesus was a Pisces and I saw a seasoned astrologer show Jesus’ birthday being March 1st.
The cross represents (Saturn), the traditional structures that did not want to change and dissolve (Neptune) into a more transcendental way of life. The real message of Jesus to the Gnostic believers transcended the walls of the church from within one’s own consciousness.
This is the ultimate message of Pisces. To use their suffering to raise their awareness and not get stuck in being a victim of their circumstances but to rise above and experience the bliss of divine intelligence.
This month of March is another opportunity to do this by stilling the mind and yoking it back into the sacred chambers of the heart in bliss consciousness. The goal of all religions, which includes the system of yoga, is to find the peace that passeth all understanding and move beyond a life of suffering to joy.
Prayer and quiet time for mediations is needed more these days than ever it seems with violence breaking out in several countries and mother nature trying to adjust to the continued ignorance of humanities ability to violate the laws of nature without respecting her.
The first eclipse of 2024 is the full Moon, and Libra is a sign that creates balance and beauty in life. This full Moon eclipse chart has a Pisces signature with four planets in water and four planets in mutable quality.
Libra does not want war but peace. If you have the Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Libra, you are putting any imbalances in your life back in order. This may have started around March 10th and Librans feel ready to create a sense of fulfillment, so their spiritual life is not wasted and drained on relationships that are not healthy.
Libra can give too much. This drains them. They cannot walk around with a mind that can’t draw sensible conclusions in every area of their life. They are ready to put their foot down and MAKE CHOICES rather than splash their energies in multiple directions feeling drained in the end and helpless.
With only one T-square in this full Moon chart, they can accomplish what they decide to do.
The Sun is sextile to Pluto and the Moon trine to Pluto, helps the signs of Aries, Aquarius, and Libra, find opportunities with ease and grace. Take advantage of these next six months, eclipse energy can last that long, to expand and grow in a powerful way with those you connect with.
The last day of March is Easter Sunday. It’s time for humanity to lift themselves up out of violence and suffering as Jesus did.
We have seen much of the emphasis on suffering in the Age of Pisces that Jesus initiated but we are moving ahead in the new Age of Aquarius. To rise above suffering into a brotherhood of non-violence and advanced technologies to benefit humanity, not sabotage it with more sneaky manipulative energies that we are seeing with A.I.
I wish everyone a happy spring of 2024. To create heaven on Earth and stop making a nightmare out of God’s beautiful daydream. Regardless of what you believe in and what branch of knowledge you follow, we all want a more peaceful and safer world that is based on love not violence.
