Embrace unexpected circumstances and transform feelings of dissatisfaction into positive steps forward.

Hello, everyone. Your March Horoscopes are up! I am feeling grateful that February had one extra day this year to give us just a little more time before March hit. March is a mixed bag of energies that will in one way or another motivate us to change. I have to be honest, however, and let you know that it could get messy. You know that stage in a project where everything is pulled apart and to the casual observer it appears like chaos? Well, the Eclipses often turn situations and emotions inside out and then start shaking to get everything out for examination. It is the first step before progress. But to me, it’s the most important step. It gives us an opportunity to take a look at what we’re working with.

We start with a Solar Eclipse in Pisces on March 8th. Themes related to this eclipse include healing, faith, universal love, creativity, addiction, letting go and intuition. Endings and beginnings are often instigated around the Eclipses. If you think back to the last pair of Eclipses in September of 2015, you may find some common threads. Only you will know if it’s time to cut your losses or get out your needle and start mending. This powerful Solar Eclipse can help you to make peace with yourself and  others. Where would you like to make a new start? What do you need to let go of to make room for more of what you want? This will be a highly potent New Moon to set your intentions.

March 19th is the Spring Equinox and Astrological New Year! We can enjoy an infusion of fresh energy to help us set goals for the coming year. This is a fabulous time for resolutions and initiating new habits. New businesses, relationships and ideas will be primed for growth. What you focus on now can set the tone for the next 12 months so be careful what you wish for.

On March 23rd we’ll experience a Lunar Eclipse in Libra. Lunar Eclipses have the power to illuminate situations in our lives that require our attention.  In the sign of Libra, this Eclipse can help us to recognize where there may be imbalances in our relationships with a spouse, lover, friend or business partner. Our sense of fairness may be challenged in some way around this time. What might seem like a personal injustice could be a mirror to show us how to be more fair and compassionate to others.

Anyone with a birthday on or within a few days of the Eclipse dates is in for a big year! Transformation and change are headed your way and the more you can embrace it, the better.

Speaking of birthdays, cardinalfireastrology.com is two years old! On March 1, 2014, I sent my first blog post out into cyberspace. Since then, I’ve had the honor of learning and growing as an astrologer while sharing my insights with you. Thanks to everyone who reads this blog. The readership is growing and I’ve been fortunate enough to meet some of you through personal astrology readings this year.

I wanted to mention that I’ve created archives for the 2014 and 2015 monthly horoscopes. You can access them from the home page. I am not sure how much they will be used, but I thought they might be helpful to some people. Let me know if you find yourself looking back over an era in your life and revisiting that month’s astrology. I’d be curious how the astrology and your life events synched up.

For now, let’s all take a nice big breath and move into March 2016 together. There is much to be done, but we can only live in one moment at a time.
