This comes with a small warning, however. Mercury, planet of communication, travel, and technology, will be retrograde (backward) from March 12 through April 4. For the first ten days, Mercury is in Aries, your tenth house of career. There could be delays, computer crashes, and all manner of tension at your job, including clashes with an authority figure. This is, however, a good time to put the finishing touches on an old project, since Mercury retrograde turns us back to the past.
From March 23 through April 4, Mercury backs into Pisces. This is an unfavorable time to travel (if you do, prepare for delays). You may also need to bite your tongue, as the uber-honest ninth house doesn’t mix well with Mercury retrograde. Catch yourself if your life starts to feel like a debate team championship—do you REALLY need to be right or play the know-it-all? This month, that hardcore “truth serum” you’re swilling will be a bitter elixir to others. If you need to have a heart-to-heart (and you may), put on the kid gloves and avoid making sarcastic or flip remarks. You can never be too tactful or diplomatic during Mercury retrograde.
Retrograde setbacks aside, a powerhouse career moment arrives at the Aries new moon on March 22. It’s a great time to seek a promotion, apply for a new job, or to spin some inspiring and ambitious new goals. What would you like to achieve in the next six months? Sit down and outline a plan, step by step, to achieve that. The March 8 Virgo full moon could bring an exciting invitation, message, or opportunity, possibly through friends. Stay tuned—this could be the news you’ve been waiting for, Cancer.
LOVE & ROMANCE:
Romance isn’t the hotspot of your chart, but on the upside, there shouldn’t be drama either. Love planet
Venus and risk-taker Jupiter are both in Taurus, your eleventh house of groups and friendship. Valentine’s Day is ovah, winter hibernation is thawing out, and the social springtime energy is awesome for your love life now. It’s time to get out in the world, whether you’re coupled or not, and to interact with other people. Single Cancerians could meet someone fun through mutual friends or by taking a chance and hitting a party or networking event. Push yourself to go to that awkward-at-first cocktail hour (or even a singles event)—you’ll find you have the gift of gab! There should be like-minded people to banter with, and at the very least, you could make some new friends. Some Cancers could feel sparks with a previously platonic pal, or you could be successfully matched up by mutual friends.
The eleventh house rules technology, so online dating is extra promising now. With worldly Jupiter here, you could attract someone from another culture or even a different town. Keep an open mind to long-distance relationships, though—if the connection is there, it’s definitely worth exploring right now.
Coupled Cancers may need to hash out a few disagreements. Passionate Mars is retrograde in Virgo, your third house of communication, from January 23 through April 13. You may be feeling a little defensive or quick to react now. Easy there, o’ Bickersons—you can solve your issues without arguing. Tension could be heightened by Mercury’s retrograde from March 12 through April 4, a time when misunderstandings run rampant. The question to explore: what are we REALLY fighting about? You may have some values and goals out of alignment, or perhaps an unmet unrealistic expectation you’re still stewing about. Sit down and talk this through—if you address it as a couple, any resentment or disappointment can be healed. Focus on closure and on speaking to each other in considerate, mutually respectful ways…no matter how stressful your life may be.
MONEY & CAREER:
The hitch in all of this action is Mercury retrograde, a cycle notorious for scrambling communication, technology, and travel. Mercury retrograde falls three or four times a year, and this round is from March 12 through April 4.
On March 8, the Virgo full moon beams into your third house of communication.
If you’ve been waiting for an answer on a bid or project, the full moon could finally bring that news. Even if it’s not what you hoped to hear, at least you’ll gain closure, which will allow you to either move on or seek other avenues. If you truly believe in something, don’t give up—just get creative. This is your time to be flexible and think outside the box. Be willing to let your ideas take different forms, and avoid getting fixated on things going one specific way. When you allow yourself to see new possibilities and explore them before acting, you’ll realize just how many options you have.
A great time for such consideration is from March 23 through April 4, while Mercury is retrograde in Pisces, your expansive ninth house. Dig up an old idea that you shelved or back-burnered, because it could actually have real potential now. Timing is everything, and it might just be the perfect moment for something that wouldn’t have been as marketable a couple years ago. It’s certainly worth a look. The ninth house also rules higher education, so you might consider returning to school, taking a workshop, or dabbling in some creative training.
HEALTH: MIND, BODY & SOUL:
Another reason to head out of home base? Tough Saturn is retrograde in Libra, your domestic fourth house, from February 7 through June 25. You could be feeling claustrophobic or even a little depressed inside those four walls. A relationship with a parent, child, or female relative could be going through challenging times or growing pains. Rather than dig your heels in or try to change the situation, you might just need some time apart. Pursue your own outside interests for both perspective and much-needed space. You may also be feeling uncomfortable in your own skin, perhaps even lacking in the self-care department. Push yourself to get those weekly facials, massages, or manicures—a little pampering goes far. Are you getting enough iron, calcium, and nutrients? Have your doctor test your blood to make sure your body is getting everything it needs to stay healthy and strong.
