Your Star Predictions for March 2010 

Aries
If you feel as if you have been moving backwards, or getting nowhere really fast, I have news for you: this will stop on the 10th as your ruler, Mars, stops going backwards and starts to forward MARCH again. If something has not been going your way, this is the time to swing it around without forcing your opinion on others. Stop being disappointed with what IS and rather see how this can work for you in a different way than what you initially thought. You should have a lot of energy to be creative. In fact, by the 15th you should be going like a Boeing, guns a blazing. Locked, cocked and ready to rock, that’s you! Family, home and relationships feature strongly this month, especially relationships with family. Be straight with your family, especially your mother, without being brutal.

Taurus
So have you considered batting for the other side? Well maybe not like that, but when Uranus aligns with your ruler, Venus, on the 4th, you might feel that a total change of direction is necessary. If you feel unhappy with, or simply need a change in your sexual and/or verbal expression, well then, go for it! There might be some resistance from people that expect you to be a certain way, since you are sooo dependable and reliable, but you are not in the mood to be bothered by others’ opinions. By the 8th your dreamy mood has lifted and it’s all systems go, inventing new possibilities for yourself. You are feeling more motivated and have the help of fiery people around you to inspire you. Around the 12th you will experience some intense moments, but you might find the source of these feelings hard to pin down. Some things you just gotta let go.

Gemini
You feel as if you need to get those ducks of yours in a row. Only problem is, they refuse to be disciplined! They’re all over the show, some are lying belly-up sunnies-on, on the beach; some are smoking something delightful, sitting in a tree and giggling at the full moon, some are wearing fishnet stockings and stilettos, poaching platypus in Tasmania. You get the picture. Maybe you shouldn’t fight it. Enrol others (or bribe them!) to organise your world for you. Around the 8th, you are feeling either dreamy or having a spiritual awakening. It’s like, beautiful, man. Your logical mind, that you rely on so heavily, is taking a break and it’s time to tap into your inner creative resources. Don’t be afraid, go with the flow! This will lead you to new spiritual insights. Around the 18th dreamtime is over and it is time for action, despite circumstantial resistance.

Cancer
This month you are dealing with relationships, relationships, oh, and did I mention relationships? Your personality is well suited to being in a stable committed relationship. This trait also bodes well for business partnerships. It’s true that the caring understanding crab can also be overprotective and oversensitive, holding on to old hurts. At the beginning of the month you have to look at a significant relationship, deciding which aspects of the relationship is your responsibility and which is the other’s. This needs to be communicated clearly. State your case and ask your self what is the cost if you don’t. Fairness is on your mind, particularly the equal division of labour. This needs to be negotiated, however, not demanded. The 9th could be intense and the 15th brings a new, visionary beginning.

Leo
Feeling spiritually advanced, are we? Of course, it’s not your fault when you are simply superior to the minions. What can you expect from people that just don’t have the spiritual insight that you have? Don’t worry, somebody will recognise your talents without you needing to blow your own horn. Recognition is yours, speak softly and get heard. The consequence of this approach is more powerful right now. Leos that feel as if they were moving backwards, will start to make progress again around the 11th. The 15th sees you trying to make logical sense of that which cannot be approached by intellect alone. Rather employ your 6th sense and be aware of people’s non-verbal communication and you will receive more useful information. You might not think that being sensitive is useful, but I assure you that what is subtle can often be more powerful than what stares you in the face. The 17th calls for a radical personal change, despite resistance from other quarters.

Virgo
Are you fantasizing about going travelling? Those exotic destinations are whispering, come play, come explore… Maybe it’s time to heed to the call of the wild, but watch that budget, as your normal responsible self feels like taking a break and just splurging! Plans get bigger and even more exciting around the 8th, when there is a huge opportunity presented to you. What does your heart say about it? Listen to it. In the middle of the month, your imagination is in overdrive, inventing and dreaming. Or are those the shadows of nightmares? Dream away baby, because from the 18th it’s time for action! Light that rocket under your butt! The sequence of bringing ideas into being is “think, say, do”. Thinking time is over. Now it’s time for “saying”, but short on its heels is “doing” and this is where the focus lies. Don’t let other’s fears put you off your envisioned ideal. That’s their problem. Don’t make it yours.

Libra
It’s all a question of authority- who gets it, who wants it and who had it all along. Do you have it? Do you want it? It is possible that you are feeling a bit “less than” at the moment. There are issues of responsibility that you would rather just not deal with, but they are just not going away and ignoring them strangely doesn’t solve the problem. It just makes it worse. Career-wise you just can’t see your way clear and problems seem worse then they are. Around the 8th your energy swings from “woe is me” to “yes we can”. Great, keep it up, since you are not out of the woods yet. Align yourself with fiery creative people to keep up your inspiration. Exercise will also get your juices flowing, so tear yourself away from that screen and find some running/ surfing/ dancing partners. Indulging in your innate creativity will take the edge off life’s little jagged pills.

Scorpio
If you feel as if things were going backwards in stead of forwards, take heart. This state of affairs is about to change around the 10th, when your ruler, Mars, stops its retrograde motion and starts moving forward again and then it’s all systems GO! Projects that have gone nowhere thus far, get a creative injection and all of a sudden the world’s your oyster. Networking is very important to you this month and so is the power of relationships. So if you feel that you are saddled with that executive’s wife again at a function, think twice. She knows somebody that knows somebody that has just the skill or resource that you are looking for. You are also well positioned now to influence those that have a bigger impact than you have, on certain communities. Team up with these people, or ask their advice and you will reap the benefits.

Sagittarius
Normally you are the happy-go-lucky outgoing centaur who is the life of the party, but this month your focus should be on higher aims. It is time be silent and do some introspection. Transfer that outer “busyness” to the inner space and see what is cooking in the darker recesses of your mind and soul. Writing your thoughts and feelings down, would help you make sense of them. You run the risk of being misunderstood by people around you. Don’t frustrate yourself over this. Rather concentrate on finding clarity within yourself. Once this is done you can communicate this to those that matter. The 8th sees you in a very poetic mood, so write, write, write, but steer away from strictly logical thought processes. Keep those creative juices flowing.

Capricorn
We know that your world is a concrete place, and right now, it is even more so. You are the long term planner, but also the doer. You will be called on a lot this month. This is so as your competence is on display and what you tackle this month will have far reaching consequences. You are still in an excellent position for beneficial partnerships, however, some clarity between you and a significant partner is needed. This person might require less talk and more action from you. They want to move on a particular issue and you want to philosophise about it. Both of you might feel manipulated by the other. It’s time for a tête-à-tête. Your ruler, Saturn, now being in Libra, the sign of harmony and negotiation, makes you more prone to make compromises, than at other times. This is not a bad thing. Renegotiation of a contract is in order.

Aquarius
Most typical Aquarians believe that money is there to be spent, preferably on causes that make the world a better place to live in, which of course is not a bad idea. But Aquarians, more than any other sign need to understand that charity begins at home. No, it’s not ok to spend your children’s education fund to help those poor disenfranchised people in Outer Mongolia! Around the 9th there is some tension with a partner over how resources should be spent. Expect some heated debate from the other side. They would like to push through and you would like to think about it a bit more, but there is an important factor that you are not seeing. After the middle of the month things will have calmed down and a more satisfactory compromise is possible then. But don’t take off your thinking hat, as there is still a lot of discussion.

Pisces
Jupiter and the Sun are still smiling on you, so you have a double dose of luck and good fortune there for the taking. You feel a powerful urge to communicate what is inside of you, so the world better sit up and listen. Relationships feature strongly and romance is in the air. Yes, it’s time to write those love letters (ok, emails) and be as soppy as you wish. Your sensitivity is at a high point, so totally surrender and let the poetry flow. If there is some resistance from anybody, switch on your 6th sense and note their non-verbal communication, better still, just feel them and you will soon get to the bottom of the matter. Keep strong boundaries in place so that you don’t get overwhelmed by other people’s problems. You can’t fix the whole world, you know!
