5 Reasons Why You’re Going to Feel March’s Astrology

I am a simple bimbo who is a hobbiest astrologer who is slowly learning how the transits affects the personal and collective. On a personal level, I have been looking forward to March’s and April’s astrology since I had a peak in September/October. This is arguarably the biggest astrological times of 2023. We have a lot of main characters moving around, and a ton of action happening in Aires which is the baby of the zodiac signifying new beginnings and The Fool.

Saturn is Switching Signs

For the past 2 and a half years, Saturn has been comfy (and by comfy I mean uprooting our perceptions of existential life and time) in its ruling sign of Aquarius. The sign of humanitarian activity and collective shifts, really gave us a run for its money as we saw how people responded collectively and as humanitarians during a worldwide pandemic. With Saturn switching into the sign of Pisces on March 7th, time will tell what this period of time will look like for us. I can only speculate that with the planet ruler of Jupiter, and the house ruler in the 12th house that it will be a little more gentle than Saturn in Aqaurius.

Intuitively, I feel that maybe this is about the wall coming down on the pipe dream of the never ending consumption and exploitation of people and natural resources. If we are at the end of the zodiac wheel, and the next wheel rotation is a new start in Aires- maybe this is where we meet our limits. When climate change gets to a point that isn’t ignorable, and we pull our heads out of the sand as we realize that we can’t keep living like this anymore. The entire system will need to be rebuilt in the subsequent decade with Aires rebuilding from what Pisces tears down, following Taurus with more solid structures. How much of a shift in the systems will we see? That is the question.

Daylights Savings

Yes, I know this isn’t technically an astrological event, but if you live in a place that observes Daylight Savings, you realize that radical effect that this has on your day to day and how you particpate in the world around you. This is like, manmade astrology. This is how we decided to control the sun. It's bizarre, and I wonder what the longer term effects will be. As the world gets hotter, maybe it will become more practical for us to have less sunlight during the daytime to stay cool.

I digress, on March 12th we gain one hour of daylight our 6pm sunset becomes a 7pm sunset. How glorious. I began to tear up writing that. As we inch closer to the summer solstice, these are such sacred days to behold. The energy of the switch, we all change our demeanor. We step out of hibernation mode, and we spring into action as plants and animals wake up, and we step into the versions of ourselves that sees the sun after 5pm. Two totally different people.

The Astrological New Year

This is the time folks. We all know that New Years seems like a hazy, drunk stupor because it is in the middle of fucking winter and they had to put a few holidays together to give us modern humans a reason to live during the bleak midwinter.

Now is the time, March 20th. We get our spring. Our sweet, sweet spring. This is the time where we plant that seed. Where we took the time during the winter months to get to chill, destimulate, and simplify. This is the time of the year where we all awaken together, and it is truly a beautiful thing. The flowers start to grow or bloom, birds become frequent. The sun is really starting to kiss our shoulders. Plant your seeds for this equinox, because it is happening during…

Eclipse Shadow Period

Eclipses get a bad wrap for being disruptive and chaotic. Eclipses are my favorite astrological energy to manifest with. People advise against using this transit as a time to manifest because it can be unpredictable. I feel like eclipses are freaking quantum leaps, and yeah, it can be jarring but… gestures broadly at everything. We are in a time where we need to be taking mystical risks and experimenting. For humanity, we are all an all hands on deck type of situation to ensure some semblance of socitey to remain.

This eclipse will be in Aires, which is The Fool, the baby, the sign of new beginning. This will take place on April 19th, bookending Aires season as we start with the solstice and end with an eclipse. In my book, that gives the entirety of Aires season quite an edge that will really cut any loose ends, or end anything before you get too into it.

Pluto Enters Aquarius

The only thing I keep hearing about this one is that the French and American revolution happened the last time that Pluto was in Aquarius from 1777-1797. You take a look around and you realize that you don’t need to be astrologer to realize that something has got to give. Pluto entering Aquarius around the same time a Saturn enter Pisces is my main astrological thesis as to why I think that that Saturn in Picses will give a stir to the systems that be.

Here’s the thing, we only get the revolutionary “24601” until this June when Pluto retrogrades back into Capricorn for the rest of 2023. I think with the eclipse, Saturn, and Pluto all changing things up I think March is the beginning of some radical shit that is going to echo on until early summer, and then pick up again in 2024.
