Bohemian Horoscopes: March 2020.
Aries (March 21-April 20)
The Virgo Full Moon (on March 9) encourages you to be super-practical, as you learn to take on less and delegate more. Then on March 10, Mercury moves forward and communication improves. March 20 is a lucky day to initiate ideas, kick-start new ventures and pitch professional projects. Creativity and motivation are high, but try to maintain a sense of balance and perspective. Then Saturn transits into your hopes-and-wishes zone on March 22. So make sure your dreams for the future are robust and realistic. The devil is definitely in the fine details.
Taurus (April 21-May 21)
When Mercury reverses into your career zone on March 4, it’s not a good time to initiate a professional project, apply for a promotion or look for a new job. Instead, be a patient Bull and wait until after Mercury goes direct on March 10. Venus and Uranus pair up in your sign on March 8-9, when a close relationship could radically change or a burgeoning romance could suddenly blossom. Then capable Saturn shifts into your career zone on March 22, for the first time since 1994. So roll up your sleeves and get to work, as you power through tasks and tie up loose ends.
Gemini (May 22-June 21)
The Full Moon (in earthy Virgo) falls in your home zone on March 9, so get your house in order and tackle domestic chores with extra Gemini gusto. Then Mercury (your patron planet) finally moves forward on March 10, when a car or computer problem should start to improve. Then serious Saturn shifts into your travel zone on March 22. Although you’re desperate for a heavenly holiday, a new cycle has started that requires hard work and involves extra responsibilities. Be patient: if you stay the course and complete projects, then you’ll travel in style later on.
Cancer (June 22-July 23)
On March 9-10, the Full Moon lights up your conversation zone and Mercury moves forward in your intimacy zone. So communicating with others will gradually improve and a close partnership should prosper. However, you need to take great care with joint finances over the next three years, as thrifty Saturn moves through your money-from-others zone. Absolutely avoid taking on more debt than you can realistically handle. And if you lend money to someone else, then get all the details in writing and realize it will be a long wait before they can repay you.
Leo (July 24-August 23)
On March 9, the Full Moon fires up your finance zones, which encourages your tendency to be hasty with cash and careless with credit. Then on March 10, the Sun and Jupiter also boost your extravagant streak. But big impulse buys now will just lead to major money headaches later on, so do your best to shop prudently. Then Saturn powers into your partnership zone on March 22. So you may decide to let go of a difficult relationship that’s no longer working. Single Lions, look for lasting love with someone who has a mature and responsible outlook.
Virgo (August 24-September 23)
The Full Moon lights up your sign on March 9, so confidence and self-belief are the keys to success this month. As comedian Billy Crystal observes, “To be great, you need to believe in what you’re doing.” With Mercury finally moving forward on March 10, all forms of communication should gradually improve as you express yourself in more direct and digestible ways. Then task-master Saturn shifts into your work zone on March 22. So there is the potential for conscientious Virgos to do very well, as long as you are patient and persistent.
Libra (September 24-October 23)
It’s all about love this month, Libra! Mercury turns direct on March 10 and Saturn moves into fellow air sign Aquarius on March 22 (both in your romance and friendship zone). Then the New Moon lights up your partnership zone on March 24. So you’ll be preoccupied with issues involving a relationship of the romantic or platonic variety. But you need to be much more realistic about a situation with a lover, potential partner or close friend. Make sure you don’t have ridiculously high expectations that are almost impossible for them to reach.
Scorpio (October 24-November 22)
On March 9, the Full Moon lights up your hopes and wishes and peer group zone. So it’s vital that you focus on positive friends who support your goals and encourage your dreams. As Liza Minnelli observes, “Don’t listen to anyone who doesn’t know how to dream.” But Saturn could stir up unresolved problems with a family member over the next three years. So you need to be at your diplomatic best and nip problems in the bud before they progress. You also need to keep up-to-date with routine maintenance around your home.
Sagittarius (November 23-December 21)
Your best days are March 8-10, when Mercury moves forwards and the Sun-Jupiter link is wonderful for matters involving money, business, real estate and family matters. Love and work are also connected in unexpected ways and some single Sagittarians will fall for a cute colleague, client or customer. Then Saturn, which rewards hard work and due diligence, switches signs on March 22. So, over the next three years, the more time and effort you put into education, communication, social media and local community projects, the more successful you’ll be.
Capricorn (December 22-January 20)
For the first three weeks of the month, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto are all powering through Capricorn. So passion, confidence and a conscientious can-do attitude will take you far. Then on March 22, your patron planet Saturn leaves your sign (yeah!) and moves into your money and self-esteem zone (boo!). So, if you want to do well financially over the next three years, then spending sprees are out and serious long-term saving is in. It’s also a productive time to take a long hard look at your personal values and restructure your priorities for the future.
Aquarius (January 21-February 19)
Thank goodness Mercury turns direct in your sign on March 10, when communication problems should clear and delays and disruptions should settle down. Then Saturn — planet of ambition, discipline and responsibility — shifts into your sign on March 22, for the first time since 1994. So it’s time to redefine your personal boundaries and work extra hard, as you capitalize on your unique Aquarian talents. Your motto for the month is from writer and illustrator Dr. Seuss, “Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”
Pisces (February 20-March 20)
There’s a magical Sun-Neptune connection on March 8, when you’ll feel increasingly creative and compassionate. So it’s the perfect time to break out the paintbrushes or help someone in need. But resist the Piscean tendency to be vague and indecisive. Fortunately Mercury moves forward and the Full Moon’s in earthy Virgo (on the 9th and 10th) which will help you be more grounded, disciplined and discriminating. If you spend too much time in fantasy-land, then you’ll miss early warning signals about a relationship problem that’s been simmering on the sidelines.
