It's a wonderful month, for Venus, your ruler, will spend almost the whole month orbiting within a few tiny degrees of Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck. That is sure to bring you a shining month, for almost all things important to you will go your way. Further, there will be more shimmering aspects that will go far beyond this exceptional pairing of two gorgeous planets. Financially, you will be golden, and it's hard to imagine anyone saying "no" to you for any application to raise funds, whether they represent financial aid for college, a claim for an insurance policy, or the fair division of property in a divorce, as a few examples. The area of the chart that glows brightest is this (eighth house) area of money that is referred to as "other people's money." This kind of money delivers funds in a one-time chunk rather than be parsed out over the course of time, say, in the way salary typically is done. What is happening in the heavens is that four sweet planets - Jupiter, Venus , Mars, and Pluto - are zooming though space to reach predetermined spots to form a golden triangle in the sky. This will happen to perfection mid-month , on March 12 and 13, but you will feel the energy sooner, at the full moon, March 8. These particular planets will link your twelfth house of confidential matters, your eighth house of other people's money, and your fourth house of home and family in extraordinary harmony. Together they will bring you the kind of luck you've not seen in many years. There are so many ways you might benefit from the lovely triangulation of planets. The area of other people's money is particularly bright, especially if the funds you seek are related to your physical home or other property. If you need to buy or sell a house or condo, or to negotiate an agreeable rate for a first mortgage, you should start taking action in the first week of March. If you already have a mortgage, early March would be the right time to meet with your banker to find out if you would qualify for a refinancing plan to gain a much improved, lower interest rate on your present mortgage. If you have been suffering because your house is "under water" (worth less than your mortgage implies), see your banker now, even if you have applied for help and have been turned down in the past. Something seems to have changed in regard to your possible remedies, so go to your banker to ask what solutions the bank suggests are available. You don't have to buy a house to gain the benefits this month - you can rent , too. Let's say you have always dreamed of renting a cottage for two weeks in the summer, in a choice seaside setting, but never thought you could afford to do so. You may now find the perfect one, at an affordable price that you simply can't pass up. When it comes to real estate, in early March you'll have the Midas touch. Your good fortune with home may come though other means, not through your physical home or other real estate, but rather, through the kindness of a beloved relative. You may receive a generous cash gift from your mother, or an inheritance from a beloved uncle. You may discover a treasure in the attic of a relative's house you are about to sell and later have it appraised - and sold - for thousands. There are so many possibilities! The full moon on March 8 will fall in your twelfth house, so it appears that talks you may be having are still in the confidential stage (no matter what you happen to be discussing). That's fine - you will have several more months to perfect your idea and your strategy before you take matters out in the open. Keeping talks quiet will benefit you. Mercury will be retrograde this month from March 12 to April 4, and additionally, Mars will continue to retrograde until April 13, a holdover from January 23. You will almost certainly encounter delays by the time you get to the middle of March, but when you do, don't fight them - go with them . It appears it will be a partner or adversary who tries to hold things up, but rather than protest, go with the flow. Mars rules your partnership / marriage house, and Mercury is currently IN that house, so it appears whatever is happening to frustrate your efforts to get things done, matters are out of your control. Cooperate as best you can and show a good attitude. If possible, as odd as this may sound, try to slow things down even more. You need to get to April before you agree to any financial plan. Ideally, you will want to reach a deal after the new moon, April 21, one of the best of the year. That new moon just brims with financial good fortune. For now, delays will benefit you. Your focus on your partner, collaborator, or a competitor will increase at the new moon in Aries (2 degrees) on March 22. At that time, four planets will be crowded into your seventh house, the area of your chart ruling not only the people who align with you and support you in a serious, contractual way (in love - as in marriage - or in business), but also those people who challenge, criticize, or compete with you and who are prone to attack your credibility. You may be surprised to learn that such opposite types (both the good people and the evil ones) could occupy the same part of your chart, the seventh house. It all comes down to how that house is aspected by other planets, and also how transiting planets relate to those found in your natal chart. I can't see your natal chart from where I sit, of course, but I can see the former situation, conversations each planet will have with the others this month. With Uranus so very close to the Sun and new moon, it's clear one partner will be volatile, but I am not sure if this is in a good way (he or she is a genius) or a bad way (this person is a lunatic.) Either way, you won't be able to predict what your partner will do next. Since it would be futile to try to anticipate his or her behavior, you will have to simply look at any visual clues you can find to discern the mood or mental state of your partner or opponent. This won't be as hard to do as you might assume. With Mars in your twelfth house now through June, your intuition will be working in a powerful way and will give you the information you need. Trust your gut. The twelfth house is very "right brain" - the part of your mind where information comes in to your brain through the visual side, not from the, more analytical, objective left side. You will have to be physically in the presence of your partner/ opponent to get the clues you need, so do as little as possible over email. The phone is better as you will be able to judge inflection, but nothing beats being with your partner to pick up more clues. There are other things going on this month. You may have a family member who has been infirmed in a hospital, nursing home, rehab center, physical therapy center, or other institution of confinement. If you feel that your relative has not been making enough progress, or that you've been drowning in paperwork, meetings, or other bureaucratic work at this institution (to help your relative), you will see much better progress next month. Should it be you, instead of a relative, who is in the hospital or other care facility for a procedure, the same is true - you will see things move forward at a better clip by April, especially by the end of next month. Now let's look at one tough day to avoid for any kind of meeting with a top person, especially in regard to real estate or family matters. That day will be March 29, when Pluto will challenge the Sun, and news is not likely to be what you want to hear. An authority figure may give you too few options, and you may feel pushed into a corner, forced to accept a course of action you would rather resist. I would say not to schedule any meetings near this date. This person may be a banker, perspective seller or buyer of a house, or even your father or other major figure in your family, as a few examples. If you have to have a meeting, you would need to watch and listen rather than to enter into a discussion because it would be more of a tug-of-war than give-and-take. If your birthday falls on or near October 1, you will feel Pluto pressing on you now. In your career, several surprise developments may come up after the new moon , March 22, and a friend will set things in motion. By all means investigate that opportunity, but because Mercury is about to retrograde, keep your talks simmering slowly. If you are self-employed, you may want to quickly form a business partnership or joint venture this month, or hire an expert, such a new lawyer or publicist, but you would do best to put off that decision. Aim to finalize details of a final agreement in late April, a time you will feel more support. Romantically, having your ruling planet Venus in such good form is a great start to March. As I mentioned before, Venus will bring happy experiences in all realms of life, ones that go far beyond delivering good financial news. Your allure will be high, so you can rely on your innate magnetism to attract love to you. Mars, however, is retrograde, so the chemistry may prove to be off in time. It's not the best time to meet someone new, but see how you feel. If you are getting close to deciding about marriage with a long-time partner, it might be best to wait to pop the question (or to respond to a proposal by to commit your heart forever). Wait until after Mars goes direct April 13. ( Mars rules your solar seventh house of serious commitments.) When you see the date, April 13, as the date Mars goes direct, don't jump too quickly on that date. A difficult day is due for matters of the heart right after, on April 15, when the Sun in Aries will oppose Saturn in Libra. You don't want to have any important talks about love and commitment or for any business reason on that day. It'll be too dreary a day for that! Allow some space of days, for sure! In general, if single, meetings and attachments are likely to come up quickly but flame out just as quickly unless you proceed slowly and allow things to develop gradually. Build a good foundation. Don't over-emphasize the appearance of your perspective partner - there could be additional treasures within someone who doesn't immediately "grab" your attention. By going slowly you will avoid the danger of assuming that this new person has sterling qualities that really aren't there or, on the other side, miss golden traits that person does possess but that you never saw. In a month like this, what you see immediately is not what you necessarily get! Single or attached, one day that might be great for love will be March 13, when Venus will align with Jupiter. You will feel the energy of this lovely day earlier, over the full moon, March 8 plus four days - those are your days! Also watch March 24, when the Sun and Uranus will conjoin to produce a lively date night. I should say however that when Uranus is involved, you never know which way things will go. Uranus is the planet of surprise, and is also the natural ruler of your solar fifth house of romance AND the house that rules pregnancy / children. You may have a surprise meeting of someone new and you may find that person to be quite intriguing. If you are attached and dating a while, March 24 could bring all sorts of news, such as learning that you (or your partner) are pregnant. If you are not planning to have a baby, be extra careful this month. Or, on the downside, near March 24, you may suddenly realize you can't continue with your partner any longer, hoping against hope that things will get better. Under a situation like that, things may end rather abruptly. There are endless possibilities, but all of them relate to extreme situations - dramatically unhappy or wildly happy. Uranus will often push things to one end of the spectrum or the other in a very high contrast way so you can see the situation more clearly. If you are basically happy and attached to your partner, then late March's vibrations may simply mean you will need to dance with your partner without stepping on his or her toes. Surely with all the planets on the western side of the chart, your partner will be in control. I want to make something clear. The person you will think about most this month could be your mate or steady romantic partner - or not. Rather, it might be your agent, business partner, or headhunter, as a few examples. As said earlier, your seventh house rules all serious, close relationships and alliances of all kinds, so don't automatically assume it will be your romantic partner who will be the erratic person in your life. It could be someone you work closely with at work, like your agent (or if you are the agent, one of the talents you represent), for example. Knowing you may come up against an unpredictable person may help you keep your armor on, so that you won't feel broadsided if anyone near should act up. Keep in mind, however, that this energy works two ways. Conversely, near March 21 and the two weeks to follow, you may be very happy with the person you are close to and view this person as capable of generating many progressive ideas, even ones that border even genius. If your birthday falls on September 24 or within five days of this date, you will feel the effects of this new moon in Aries the most. If you have other planets at 2 degrees Aries, Libra, Gemini, Sagittarius, or Aquarius, you will feel it too, and there is a chance you may benefit from it. It won't be long until you find out! Summary March comes brimming with good financial news, almost all from a source outside of your regular standbys. New funds may now stem from a bank loan or insurance company payout, or money may come from one of your parents, as some of many possible examples. The meeting of your ruling planet, Venus, to good fortune Jupiter from March 8 to 14 will give you a rare kind of financial luck and sense of security you've not felt in a long time. Despite financial good fortune, you may also be focused on an overall lack of control in regard to a partner's plans and actions. If this person is someone like a spouse or business partner / agent or lawyer who you are aligned with and want to remain with, you may have to compromise. You appear to want to take a conservative course, but your partner seems in opposite mode and drawn to a major risk-taking, entrepreneurial project that will be coming up soon. Arguing your case won't have much effect on your partner now , so choose your battles carefully. Libras born in September seem to be the most undecided about what to do. Mars (until April 13) and Mercury (March 14 -April 4) will be retrograde, so for now, do nothing and decide nothing. If the person you are thinking about is a competitor, detractor, or critic, or someone who is clearly out to discredit you (such as a lawyer would do in court), you need to expect the unexpected. Keep listening to your intuition , for it will guide you in the right direction. Jupiter's closeness to Venus shows you are holding all aces, but you seem strangely unaware of your advantage. By next month, you'll be met with less opposition and can win more of your points. Keep talking, for a number of good ideas will likely surface if you do. By late April you can seal things with a signature or a handshake. If you can't wait to late April, sign things in early March, no later than March 9, or table talks to April 21 and beyond. I wish there were a mid-course, but that seems to be it. Watch your health in the early part of the month. The full moon of March 8 may show up any weakness in your constitution, and you may crave quiet, peaceful time alone. In early to mid-March, you might need rest and you will benefit from reflection. Think about all the recent life events you have experienced to center yourself and plan your next move. Life has not always been easy for you, for you are dealing with Saturn in Libra, an aspect that adds many new responsibilities. Libras born at the end of September are dealing with Uranus opposed to their Sun, also a strenuous aspect that requires flexibility and resourcefulness in the face of challenge. If you are single, it seems you have put lots of emphasis on a perspective partner's appearance and the chemistry you feel. Looks, dear Libra, fade in time, and chemistry can take you just so far - both are wonderful to have in a relationship, but you need more. This month, look deeper, and you may find a heart of gold and love that could last forever. Dates to Note for Libra: Most romantic dates: March 12-14, 17-18, and 27-28. Protect your health within four days of the full moon March 8. A sensational day for matters related to property, real estate, home, family , and money would be March 12. March 12-April 4 Mercury will be retrograde, so take no important actions then. A gold-star day will be March 13, with Venus, your ruler, conjunct Jupiter; this is a five-star day, not only of the month, but also of the year. Due to Mercury retrograde, use the full moon March 8, operative to March 11, for any initiation. A new chapter starts up in your marriage or partnership on the new moon March 22. Watch for news you don't expect in the ten days to follow. Your partner is about to be surprising - or unpredictable March 24.
