It’s time for the March 2024 horoscope, yet I feel I still need to get February out of my system. The end of winter brought two family bereavements – so apologies for not being able to produce my usual lunation report for the recent Full Moon in Virgo. Some seasons need to have the line drawn under them – and this winter falls into that category. As I write this, the north wind is blasting the clouds above – so it looks as though spring will have a cold beginning. As green shoots push through the rain, snow and ice, it’s a reminder that nature is remarkably resilient – and old life always gives way to new.
Astrologically, spring arrives with Aries on March 21st; until then, we have a mutable period of changeability, not knowing how things are going to be from one moment to the next, as befits the Pisces season. That’s reflected in the astrology for this month too, as the sun and inner planets make a number of brief, but interesting, aspects to the outer planets. There are moments that will cause you take note – and then move on. The big Venus influences at the end of the month may hold the promise of better things to come, and as next month brings some big astrological events, enjoy them while you may.
March 2024 Horoscope: Aries
The Sun moves into your sign on March 21st and, before that date, you may feel as if you’re in isolation. It may be self-imposed or it may be that the world has simply forgotten that you exist – either way, you’re going to feel as if life is happening ‘behind the scenes’ until your personal Sun rises once more. That’s not to imply that things are quiet; as the month begins you will start to put a few things together and you may begin to understand where you fit into the ‘big picture’. Sometimes, things don’t make sense until we look at them from a higher plane – that opportunity may come to you as the month begins.
Whatever is being revealed, may or may not be the cause of the serious tension that’s going to erupt as the second week of March begins. Friends, in-laws, technology and money, stability and security: the March 2024 horoscope suggests that any combination of those things may cause a headache this month, as someone oversteps the mark and a nasty surprise may be the result. If you’re not aware of any contentious issues as the month begins, you soon will be. And truth may be in short supply. By the end of the month, mending fences may be the best thing to do. Accept – and make – any apologies with good grace.
March 2024 Horoscope: Taurus
The month begins on a sociable note, as there is a pile up of planets in your friendship zone. However, the early part of the month may be the best time to plan your pleasures, rather than partake in them. The March 2024 horoscope suggests there may be a good reason to take this approach: some of you may have a major reason to celebrate later this month. Most of you will simply begin the month knowing that it’s always good to have something to look forward to – and by the second week of the month, you’re going to realise that if you want something to happen, you had better be the person to make it happen.
Taurus is often accused of being passive, but the New Moon in Pisces will plant the seeds of a future that owes more to your imagination than reality as you perceive it right now. Visualisation techniques can be a useful way of affirming your life goals; that energy is available to you this month, so use it to further your ambitions and go for what you really want out of life – you may surprise yourself by how effective you can be. One more thing: mid month there maybe an element of secrecy to your actions – though that’s not necessarily going to be a bad thing. Your ruler Venus has your interests at heart by the end of the month.
March 2024 Horoscope: Gemini
The month opens with an emphasis on your career and you’re likely to be concerned with wanting ‘more’. More recognition, more responsibility or more money? Only you will know the answer to that question. The March 2024 horoscope suggests there is a restlessness about you this month that may cause you some unease – but it’s that unease that has the potential to drive you forwards. Direct your energy wisely, as it will be easy to become stressed – especially as the second week of the month begins. The New Moon in Pisces sows its seeds in your career sector, so use your imagination to get ahead.
That imaginative theme carries on mid month, as planetary influences build up at the top of your chart. Venus is going to be a major player for you during the second half of this month – and that means love and money will be uppermost in your mind. If you want to succeed, then you’re going to have to be prepared to go for what you want. this month you can do so with charm – and you may be lucky: being seen in the right place at the right time is a possibility this month. You may attract attention for the right reasons – and if you do, be prepared to take advantage of any unexpected opportunities that come your way.
March 2024 Horoscope: Cancer
The March 2024 horoscope suggests your mind may be on distant shores as the month begins, but there is a darker undercurrent and you may be tempted to share your concerns with anyone who’s prepared to listen. This easy going, socially active start to the month may be overshadowed, as you receive some surprise information from (or about) a friend or acquaintance that shocks or upsets you. This may involve a secret or deeply personal issue – or one that impacts on your sense of how well you thought you knew that person. News about separations, arguments or financial problems may come your way, though they may not affect you directly.
It may be a good idea to distinguish between idle gossip and the truth, as misunderstandings may be expensive – and that’s especially so mid-month. You are usually able to rely on your senses, but this month it will be easy to overlook important details – and be aware that someone may want to keep something from you. You may have to learn to take a philosophical view – and that is something the New Moon will help you to do. As the month draws to a close, you’re going to find it much easier to take an expansive view of life – especially if it’s from the window seat. Getting away from it all has never looked so good…
March 2024 Horoscope: Leo
The Sun is your ruler but, as the month begins, you may feel as if it’s behind a cloud. If you want your life to turn that corner, how about taking charge of the agenda? The March 2024 horoscope suggests that passivity is not an option, as you need to face up to reality – and work with it. However, ‘when life gives you lemons, make lemonade’, may be your motto this month – and your career may be the place that needs a soda injection. You may find yourself under pressure from your partner to make a few things happen, or you may take the initiative to form a partnership that will bring you significant benefits.
And you don’t need me to tell you which one is best. By the time of the new Moon, you will have reached that significant turning point – even if you don’t realise it just yet. All will be revealed in the months to come. Meanwhile, Venus and Mars are moving from your relationship sector to the house of profound and lasting change. If you want to draw the line under an unproductive part of your life and move on to better things, start doing so by the end of this month. The Sun in Aries makes you much more optimistic; life is going to move into a forward trajectory, so don’t fight against the direction of travel.
March 2024 Horoscope: Virgo
The month opens with the Sun shining on your relationships – and you may be asking yourself how to move things forwards. The March 2024 horoscope suggests that you want to push your partnerships in a new direction – and that applies to professional partnerships too. Expansion – in some guise – is on your mind, so if the door opens, walk through. It’s a good start to the month, so enjoy it while it lasts. The second week of the month brings some explosive tension – and it’s likely to be focused on your career. Sudden events may have ramifications elsewhere.
There may be a few heated discussions in either your work or personal life, but sometimes you need to clear the air – and that may happen this month. When the Sun moves into Aries, you’ll be focused on some far-reaching and permanent changes – any uncertainty or indecision you felt mid-month will evaporate, leaving you clear about the direction you need to take. The pressure also eases in your relationships; you have the opportunity to make change and make progress – but only if you take your commitments seriously as a first step. It’s a time for constructive dialogue – as the Full Moon will make clear at the end of the month.
March 2024 Horoscope: Libra
The March 2024 horoscope suggests the month begins with your focus on work – and you have the opportunity to make some far reaching changes. Now is the time to look at why certain things are not working for you in the way that you would like them to. Sometimes our belief system lets us down – and that’s especially so if you harbour negative beliefs about your own abilities. You are capable of much more than you think you are – and it’s the ‘think’ bit that gets in your way. Adjust your mindset and the benefits will fall into place. However, in the second week of the month, be prepared for an upset…
Sometimes, upsets are an essential part of life’s rich experience. This time around, you may be forced to change the way you express yourself. Asserting your individuality is often a real challenge for Libra, because you need validation more than most. Putting your own needs first may be the challenge this month – especially if you are reluctant to do so. Don’t overlook things just because they may involve hard work – getting your hands dirty (in a symbolic sense) may be what you need to do. Your ruler, Venus, is well placed to assist: a surprising opportunity or act of generosity may come. your way.
March 2024 Horoscope: Scorpio
Expressing yourself comes easily as March begins – especially in your personal relationships. The March 2024 horoscope suggests that you may have some news for your partner – or they may have news for you. There may be an opportunity for you to have some deep and meaningful conversations or some fun time together – and neither of those is a bad option. By the second week of the month the tone changes: home and family matters are going to erupt in a way that causes some friction. The friction may be between you, or it may be that only one of you is suffering from some kind of annoyance.
What affects one generally affects you both, so take care that you don’t absorb the negativity that’s flying around – or add to it unnecessarily. Staying active at home, or taking the lead in family matters may help to ease the pressure. However, the risk is that you both become frustrated by an inability to resolve a certain issue – and that’s when the sparks could fly. You will be relieved to learn that peace will break out by the middle of the month. Calling a truce will be beneficial, howsoever it occurs. Late in the month, Venus’s presence will keep things that way – and your focus will be in making things work out.
March 2024 Horoscope: Sagittarius
The month starts with a domestic focus: you have the opportunity to get a few things in order, but in true Sagittarius style, you’re more likely to have your mind on bigger things. You hate to be contained, so the chance to expand your life in any way is always welcome. The March 2024 horoscope suggests that expansion may be related to your diet. If you’re suffering from the effects of the festive season, it may be time to embrace a new regime. A warning: the signs are that by the second week of the month you may be shocked into taking action. It’s always better to be ahead of the curve.
What you don’t need is a lecture from anyone about the right way to respond to the challenges that will come your way. There will be some vigorous debate – and the issue under discussion may be your inability to see something that’s in plain sight to everyone else. Something’s got to give and when it does, you’ll find that you have to go back to basics – and just be yourself. The New Moon in Pisces will be helpful, as it will enable you to rise above the petty squabbles that seem to be following you around. Sometimes you need to engineer a diplomatic retreat – this month is that time.
March 2024 Horoscope: Capricorn
You have a few things on your mind as March begins – and the only pressing issue you may have is choosing between the numerous things that are competing for your attention. That sounds like a good start to the month – and it should be as your pleasure zone is well-starred. The March 2024 horoscope suggests there will be many opportunities for you to enjoy yourself – but the second week of the month may be troublesome: you may be assertively stubborn about a particular issue. Whatever it is, it’s going to be ‘your way or the highway’. You have been warned.
Arguments often arise from misunderstandings – and that is a possibility in the middle of the month. Either you fail to understand what someone is telling you, or you don’t express yourself with clarity. There is another possibility, however, as you could be the victim of a deliberate lie – so be aware of anything that seems fraudulent or too good to be true. As the Sun moves into Aries on March 21st, your focus shifts to your home and family. You’ll be relieved to learn that harmony is restored towards the end of the month, though the Full Moon suggests you may need to focus your attention on your career.
March 2024 Horoscope: Aquarius
The March 2024 horoscope suggests you may be counting the pennies, as there is a material focus to the first week of March. If you’re discussing some form of expenditure, it’s likely to be home and family related; if your home needs a refresh this springtime, this month is a good time to go ahead with your plans as your enthusiasm is high. Be careful not to overlook the detail, as this may cause things to cloud over by the second week of the month. The problem may be that one of you wants one blue and the other wants green – and neither of you is in the mood for compromise.
There is also the possibility that you haven’t really worked out how much it’s going to cost – you may not be happy when you receive the final bill. Money matters are going to remain an issue all month;Venus in your chart suggests you may need to be realistic about what you can afford – however you may be able to afford more than you originally thought. There is the opportunity to make a ‘big ticket purchase’ in the last week of March – though there are also signs that this may be an impulse purchase rather than a well-considered one. That’s fine if you can afford it – and if you can meet the cost, go right ahead and enjoy the moment.
March 2024 Horoscope: Pisces
This is your month and the March 2024 horoscope suggests it’s going to be a busy one for you. That ‘busyness’ may be external or it may be that your mind is simply full to overflowing. Pisces has boundary issues, and you find it so hard to say ‘no’ to anyone – or anything. So, if you’re feeling overburdened – even in a pleasurable way – remember you don’t have to say ‘yes’ all of the time. By the second week of March you will know what I mean by that , as the risk is you will be feeling stressed. This may be in relation to a specific issue or simply a more generalised experience, but it won’t be pleasant.
You may feel as if you’re unable to say how you really feel about a particular situation that’s making you unusually angry. You’re a peaceful person, but something could make you flare up – and that’s a difficult thing for you to handle. You may feel unable to express anger – and that may lead to you seeming two faced: you’re mad as hell. on the inside, but you appear as placid and amenable as ever. As the month progresses, you may find it easier to resolve this dilemma, as Mars changing signs will help you to become more direct and assertive – in your own sweet way of course.
