Venus enters Aquarius on March 1st (11:45 am EST). This is the breath-of-fresh-air transit. Relationships, finances, self-esteem and values are given a shot of detachment, innovation and freedom. What used to matter may not matter quite so much as you’re able to step back and glimpse the bigger picture (Aquarius is the sign of the collective).

It may be time for an update to what you value, how you look or who you associate with.

Venus in Aquarius can emphasize the beauty of what’s unique or it can emphasize feelings of alienation. Much depends on how you deal with Venus-themed issues – do you feel like a misunderstood outcast or are you ready to embrace what’s yours? This isn’t a warm, fuzzy transit (independence is a huge theme) but it can be a relief for those who are ready to enjoy what lies beyond set definitions of beauty, success or popularity.

This transit sparkles for those who aren’t afraid to be themselves. Yes, this is a huge cliché, but it’s true. Whether you loath or enjoy what you see in the mirror, Venus in Aquarius asks you to celebrate who you are and what you have no matter what others think. Stepping away from the values that they assign to you can be tremendously freeing. You find it attractive/desirable/precious and they don’t, but suddenly it doesn’t matter what they think.

At the same time, consider where you feel free to love and be loved the way you want (without judgement or fear). Is there a place like that in your life?

Here are the aspects Venus in Aquarius will make:

  • Mar 2nd: sextile Chiron in Aries (0 deg)

  • Mar 10th: trine Juno in Gemini (11 deg)

  • Mar 11th: sextile Ceres in Sagittarius (11 deg)

  • Mar 21st: square Mars in Taurus (23 deg)

  • Mar 21st: sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius (23 deg)

  • Mar 21st: inconjunct North Node in Cancer (23 deg)

  • Mar 22nd: trine Pallas Rx in Libra (25 deg)

  • Mar 22nd: conjunct Black Moon Lilith (25 deg)

  • Mar 26th: Pisces ingress

March Horoscopes 2019

This month ahead is rather weird. The question for many of us will be: “Am I seeing through a distorting lens or a magnifying glass, or am I actually looking into a mirror?” Nothing is quite what it seems for most of March… To subscribe to the horoscopes or pick up your horoscope, click here.

March 2019 Astrology Forecast

March is a busy month in the cosmic calendar. On March 1, Venus enters Aquarius, bringing a friendlier but detached vibe in relationships. As this is an air sign, we need to make a mental connection. Politics may matter more, becoming either the glue that sticks us together or the issue that marks our differences. […]

I realize that political posts can generate a great deal of animosity.  I will attempt to be as unbiased as possible in my political posts and stick to the astrology, but it’s likely that some bias will slip through.  If this is uncomfortable for you, please stop reading now.  I have been writing a lot […]

February 28th, 2019: Taking Gentle Control

  • Sun in Pisces square Ceres in Sagittarius (9 deg)

  • Waning Sextile between the Pisces Sun and Capricorn Moon (10 deg)

  • Venus in Capricorn square Pallas Rx in Libra (29 deg)

Waxing Sextile

The Sun/Ceres square can illuminate tension around nurturing as Pisces’ release/vagueness clashes with Ceres in Sag’s enthusiastic (and pushy) expressions of care. As more care is offered the situation may become less certain. Too, a discordant truth (or loss of faith) about mothering or nourishment may be revealed.

The Waxing Sextile can provide some help as maturity and commitment (Capricorn) gives form to what’s vague (Pisces). If you’re trying to care for someone or nurture a project/potential and are frustrated by what’s undefined, this sextile encourages you to take control by gently (this is not about lowering the hammer) steering events. Step in as the compassionate parent and do what needs to be done.

Venus/Pallas

Venus/Pallas suggests some relationship tension as rules about partnerships, money or values clash with social strategies. Pallas is in a Venus-ruled sign, but Libra wants everything to be nice and pretty while Venus in Capricorn is all business. Strategies used to appease or obliquely win a battle will not blend with stricter (and more direct) definitions of what the other person wants.

Consider who’s in control and what has greater value: politeness or authority? Pallas’ Rx status is a hint, because this means strategies are currently under revision.
