March 2014 horoscope - Aries

I follow the sidereal calendar; this is the monthly solar horoscope for birthdays from 14^th April to 15^th May or Aries Ascendants or Moons

Aries, March is a busy month for you both physically – i.e. you are busy sorting things out running from A to B to get things done but also in terms of relationships which is the one area of your chart where you are seeing a major rewind and restart. Things that have been left unspoken are now discussed, perhaps more carefully than before and perhaps with more thought behind it than before. Both Mars and Saturn are going backwards this month until May and July respectively, making sure you digest and take on board any lessons around relationships that were put in your path. This is not necessarily a time of action and a lot of forward movement although the eclipse in April is a turning point, it is more a time of consolidation. Many Aries are now keen to form close and committed partnerships and there always has to be some level of give and take. This is what you realise now. Equally, every new relationship has a period of adapting and getting to know each other and even if you have been in the same partnership for some time, you are now being asked to rediscover this person or work on underlying issues and currents that have determined the flow of the relationship for some time if not years. It’s important to be honest now with your partner and your feelings and encourage the same from him or her. 
 
Generally speaking, from an astrological perspective, March is an exciting month with Jupiter, the planet of luck and abundance moving forward on 7th March, Saturn and Mars going retrograde for quite some time and two new Moons in the same month. The first of the two takes place on 1st March in Aquarius and in the area of your chart to do with your gains, your hope and your wishes and your future. Much of this may be tied into your living situation. Whatever you put into motion now will bear its fruits around September to December 2014. Once this new Moon has passed, Jupiter moves forward again in the area of your chart to do with your own efforts, handmade goods and crafts, sales, communications, writing and skills training. You may have developed some of these areas in the past months and if you have found that you’ve learnt something new around any of these points, it would have most likely been around communication with others – in particular you partner. You may have found a way to better express how you feel or what you want. Much of this is the result of you thinking a lot at the moment – you also change your mind a lot these days but this is part of the process. March is also a month to crack on with your own business ideas where you can rely on your own efforts only. If this is the case (and even if not!), March will become a busy month work-wise towards the end of the month as, first of all through the full Moon on 16th March in Virgo. This full Moon is in the nakshatra of Hasta and is ruled by the Moon. According to ancient astrology, this nakshatra has the power to manifest what one seeks and is a placement of healing through the hands but also through the mind, i.e. our intellect. As this nakashatra is ruled by the Moon, we’re also trying to protect what we have and those we love avoiding any unnecessary disruption and risk at all cost. During these times, there may also be a tendency to parent our partners which now comes from a need to comfort and protect those around us. For you, healing can take place quite physically if you have been feeling unwell or stressed. 
 
Secondly, Mars, the planet of action, goes retrograde on 2nd March until 20th May and also enters your house of daily routines, work and health issues. There may be obvious issues to work on in these areas but if not, then this is a good time to focus on nutrition and exercise and for some of you even helping others to do the same. This can be a time of healing for you on a number of levels if you are willing to see the bigger picture and do the ground work in terms of health and work. The end of March is a time to recuperate from the past year – although it may not be easy to relax at the moment, try and take some time off. It’s the calm before the storm, before you have to go knuckle down again during a busy April that – work and relationship-wise – will keep you on your toes. Have a great month, Aries!
