March is the Astrological beginning for the new year, the birthday of Earth as we celebrate. It’s when the Sun moves from Pisces, where it is an energetic yolk, contained yet connected to source into Aries where it’s transferred into a vessel and life is born. In astrology, we calculate the energy of the whole year based off this particular equinox, so 2020 has still been looming in the collective subconscious for the beginning months of this year. A time of shedding for us in the Southern Hemisphere and a time of new life in the Northern Hemisphere, the planet itself is always in perfect balance. She is constantly sharing her cycles and energetic openings with us, when we tune into these changes, we deepen our connection and understand our own essence – the one thing we share with all.
There’s how the equinox will influence the signs – check your Ascendant!
Aries
Around the transitioning of the Equinox, many planets are hiding in your 12th house. This will generally have caused you to feel a lack of energy or drive for the last 2-3 weeks. You have been needing to retreat before the Sun enters your sign later in April. Allow yourself to find more balance in the amount of energy you give and receive. You may be prone to escapism also – witness what triggers disassociation to find the crux of the patterns. Your inner voice will be quite loud during this time, remember to listen to hear the tone of your own reflection. Mars in the 3rd will be activating your communication, both internal and external. With the management of emotional communication, work connection and networks begin to open for you.

Taurus
The beginning of March should have been quite social for you. With Venus moving through your 11th house, your awareness is reaching further than its usual bounds. Maybe your discussions with yourself or friends have been explaining your horizons and creating new energetic spaces for you to fill with dreams and intentions for yourself. The Equinox will be in your 12th house. This will give you time to reset so that by April you’ve rested enough to utilise the Aries energy. Mars in your 2nd house, bringing in manifestations from the mental plane to the physical. Be careful not to get caught up in retail therapy during March, it’s a resting month, not a spending month. The planets are tempting you.
Gemini
This Equinox is quite intense for you, Gemini. The energy will come in quite fast and is an opportunity for you to process some repressed anger present. As there is a lot of pressure building in your 12th house with Mars moving through it, you will be more prone to reacting than usual. This is just a test from the universe to see how you react to your environment. Stay true to your essence. As this energy is strong, it’s a good idea to use it to benefit you. There is a lot of activity in your 10th house, which is the house of career and the public perception. You could be changing your job, path or the way you present yourself. The energy of the Equinox is mutable, a shift from one stage to the other. You’re mirroring this energy, it’s working.
Cancer
You’ve been in a rough patch, Cancer! Take a deep breath, let it all out. It’s time to release a lot of the emotions you’ve been storing in your body for the past few months. Deep in your heart you know you’re in a state of growth but you seem to be blocking creative inspiration. What’s that about? Mars is in your 12th house, so use this energy to complete cycles and patterns that have been keeping these emotional themes prominent in your life. If you have addictive tendencies they will be more active over the next month – just be aware of that urge. There is energy pointing to your 9th house which means It’s a great time for you to begin a spiritual practice. Incorporating breathwork or media ration into your daily ritual will deepen your emotional stability and connect to self.
Leo
The Equinox reveals the inner psychoanalyst in you, Leo. All the energy is sitting in your 8th house of secrets, finances, sexual expressions and death. This means there may be a secret of yours that becomes exposed during this time or you may begin to witness parts of your nature that have been hidden from you. It’s a really good time to see a therapist or begin working on reprogramming your patterns with cranial-sacral techniques. There is financial support coming in for you, it may be taxes, inheritance, or collaborations from the past. Beginning to work with others in April will be rewarding for you in the future. This energetic shift is from personal to external for you, so be generous with your energy – you’ll get it back. Your sexual energy is intense right now, so you may be attracting someone you wouldn’t expect.
Virgo
We’ve seen the completion of certain cycles come up in March for you, possibly in your sphere of relationships. It doesn’t have to be an ending, but a shift from one way of being to another is occurring. There is quite a lot of energy in your 7th house of relationships. If you are single, it’s a really good time to begin calling in your partner and embodying a feeling of being full so that you can attract another person whose cup is also full. If you’re in a relationship, your partner should become more active or take more initiative in regards to their health or expressions of their identity. You may be offered more work, as a lot of responsibilities will present themselves to you by April. Make sure you maintain healthy boundaries within work / authoritarian relationships. This will be a very active month for you after the Equinox. The energy supports you.
Libra
It’s time to do some equinox cleaning, Libra! Most of the planetary energies are in your 6th house, which is the house associated with Virgo and its tendencies. A perfect time for you to be physically, mentally and emotionally organising and cleansing, giving you the opportunity to remove unwanted attachments and lighten your load. This should feel very much in alignment w
ith where you feel you’re at right now. You may have a lot of work on your plate, or you may be starting lots of new projects and meeting deadlines. There is a lot of potentially chaotic energy coming in for you in work and home life but if you apply a little Virgo to your routine you’ll be able to reap the benefits. Also, Venus moves into your 7th house, don’t over socialise yourself! You need time to rest and reflect, but use the desire to connect to attract the right people into your life.
Scorpio
Ohhh, Scorpio, this is a treat for you. You’ve had a few rough months, but as Mars in Gemini moves into your 8th house, the truth will be revealed. Mars in Gemini is a walking lie detector, so you will be extra sensitive to the undercurrents of those around you. Your cave walls are extra high and are protecting you from receiving any more stings for a while. You will be inspired to dive deeper into your perceptions, you’ll be following more trails and illuminating shadows all around you. It’s a potent time to do some honest self-reflection through a medium of astrology, seeing a psychic, plant medicines or breathwork. A deep psychological realisation is available to you if you’d like to embrace and embody that potential healing. If not, you will be looking to expose what others need to heal within themselves. Your power is strong, watch where you are wielding it.
Sagittarius
Time to ground yourself, Sag. I know you’ve got itchy feet. You’re ready to move around, travel, gain a new skill or increase your repertoire of knowledge. Just be sure that you are really nourishing your body and staying connected to the needs that your physical being has. You may be meeting a lot of new people, but with the Equinox falling in your 3rd house you have a great opportunity to deepen those relationships. Thanks to the energy behind you to take communication to the next level, you have the potential to inspire others to join your campaigns or collaborations. it’s an excellent time to sign deals and contracts. The Mars aspects of the chart say there may be a “shark” around you – your intuition will know who that person is, so keep some distance. When April comes around, you’ll be fully in your power and the creative fire within you will be blazing.
Capricorn
Where did the time go, Cap? You are very busy right now – you have so many activities and errands in which you need to prioritise and find the proper balance. You’ll be doing quite a lot of moving around. Be careful not to bring your emotions into these movements or you may attract something negative. Be careful! You may be connecting more to neighbours, work colleagues or people who can inspire or support you in your work. There has been a black cloud over your head for the last few weeks though, Capricorn. After this Equinox, you should be able to shake that off and step back into your routine and domestic goddess / god-self. You are coming back into your power, you just needed to learn that when you allow yourself to be in those states you attract them back into your life.

Aquarius
Okay Aquarius, how was having these planets in your 1st house? Jupiter and Saturn are staying there for this entire year, so this is potentially one of the most important years of your life. You have more free will than ever as you come out of the darkness of having these major planets in the 12th house of your subconscious. Your brain should be operating in a new way. Those planets offered you new opportunities, ideas and alternative paths for you to follow. The main focus of the Equinox energy is in your 2nd house of values. This provides you with potential opportunities to be more proactive about the way you make your money. You’ll be connected more, being more social, things start moving, it’s been a little too still for you but April will bring you the pace you need in order to stay in movement. Your inner child is calling to emerge.
Pisces
This is a very potent month for you Pisces – actually the most important month of the year and it’s not because it’s your season. Jupiter and Saturn are in your 12th house and will be this entire year. This means that the next 12 months will allow you to see your shadow and the patterns you created to keep operating from the shadow place. February would have been a dead zone for you, your light was dimmed with all the illumination of your deepest wounds. Alas, this all means that you are just in a phase of growing and completing. The darker parts are over if you’ll allow them to be. Relocation is on the cards for you – this will change the course of your life and strengthen your independence. There is so much light in you, Pisces. Ut will pour out of you when you find your flow.
