The Full Moon in VIRGO on March 10th brings charm, beauty, artistic creativity and mental excitement. By Elizabeth Joyce March 2009 The New Moon in ARIES on March 26th brings a great time to begin something you want to succeed in. PISCES: Polarity: Feminine Sign: Mutable - Element: Water – Planetary Rule: 12th House / Neptune – Feet - FOCUS: Visionary Ideals The Personal Signs Aries (3/21 – 4/20) You may notice that fewer love and social opportunities come your way between now and mid-April. This is not the time for a love commitment or a wedding. If you meet a potential romantic partner, be patient as it might take until the end of April or early May for the two of you to get together. Relationship misunderstandings are also more than likely now, so pause to think before you say what’s on your mind. Keep your eyes and ears open the week of March 10th’s Full Moon in Virgo. You could pick up some interesting information and undercurrents about continuing changes and new opportunities. Expected payments could be delayed this month, so postpone any major purchases. Continue to see friends and network through March 16th. Take some time at the New Moon on the 26th to think about what you want to accomplish over the next twelve months, both personally and professionally. Then put your goals in writing, get inspired, and begin to implement them. Most of your challenges this month are likely to be career related. Month’s end is the hotspot, so try not to push anyone’s buttons, or allow them to push yours. Even if you do know what’s best regarding a career matter, be wise and go along with the boss’s decision. Anything else will be a no-win situation. Exercise to relieve your stress. 50 I PhillyFIT Taurus (4/21-5/21) Life will frustrate you in March. Please keep this in mind when your personal plans stall, and think of it as an opportunity to refine your goals before your birthday month arrives in a month or so. Last month’s relationship will resurface after the march 10th Full Moon in Virgo. The positive news is that the matter should be resolved, at least to the point where you can move forward. Group activities associated with business or an organization are also impacted by the lunar energy and best postponed until April, if possible. You will have plenty of chances to see friends and meet new people. Among them could be someone who will be a valuable future contact. Use the first two weeks of March to reinforce your position with decision makers, and aim for the first week if you plan to make a presentation or interview. There could be delays in important job related matters, so be prepared to rely on your noted patience. Listen to your inner voice around the time of March 26th and the New Moon. It could reveal new insights regarding your love life, your job or schooling, and your values. Meditation can be effective now as both a stress reliever and a way to calm your mind and open it to fresh insights. Gemini (5/21-6/20) Last month’s stress and relationship issues will continue through the first three weeks of March. These issues will reach their peak at the Virgo Full Moon on the 10th. The good news is that this energy can put you a step closer to resolving the issues. Don’t expect this process to be challenge free, however. More than likely it will be a balancing act and a test of how willing you are to accept necessary changes in your career, domestic life, or both. You will be doing some traveling in March; and for some, this could be a relocation while for others a long business trip. If neither is in your plans, plan to get some R & R at a nearby luxury health spa, where you can party safely. Some friendships are rocky while others are at their best; however, your social life won’t be as active as usual. Be patient if a romantic liaison doesn’t immediately take off. It may be mid-May before you have a chance to know each other. March is tax season and it’s time to take a close look at your financial goals, or get busy setting them — including savings, debt reduction, and how best to maximize your earnings. It’s possible that you could net a raise or cost cutting perk to get yourself started on the road to financial freedom. Skip all but the most conservative long-term investments even if someone close encourages you to do otherwise. Be sure never to mix money with friendships. Lingering effects of lasts month’s upsets continue to advise you against travel and legal matters, especially the week of the Virgo Full Moon on the 10th. Be extra cautious on the road this month and consider public transportation or car-pooling if those options are available. Learning, whether in class or on your own, stimulates your mind and, although it may frustrate you at times, success comes with persistence. Laughter is a great antidote for the stress and strains of March. You’ll also benefit from an upbeat attitude and positive thinking. Spread this good cheer wherever you go and many people will brighten your day. You will be faced with challenging workplace issues around the time of the New Moon on the 26th. Power plays are possible and controlling people almost a given. Stay on the sidelines as much as possible and protect your position. Be very cautious if you want to pursue a workplace romance. Get acquainted on your own time. Anything else could put your job at risk. Despite the difficult relationships you’ll encounter in your career, now is the time to lay the groundwork for your success. Apply for a promotion if that’s your goal, or send out resumes if you are ready for a new opportunity. Whatever you do now will bring in results in late April. Finances are mostly status quo in March, but you will need to double-check that all bills are paid on time. Leo (7/23-8/22) You might want to postpone any travel until late April or early May, Leo. Delays and cancellations are possible any time this month, especially the last ten days of March. Legal matters proceed slowly, if at all, and a favorable outcome is unlikely if you initiate action now. In-laws and other relatives can really test your patience. The first week in March accents fortunate contacts, at least one of which will inspire you to have faith in yourself. You can also get good advice if you first do some research and then go to the right source. Check professional credentials rather than take anyone at face value. Then ask direct questions and expect direct answers. You will be in touch with many people this month. Partnerships benefit from open communication and passionate moments, but the Cancer (6/21-7/22) workplace relationships won’t be so positive. An March/April I 215-396-0268 I www.phillyfitmagazine.com
ego clash could trigger a power play, and although you might win a few rounds, the wisest choice is to say little. Later on this fall you’ll be so glad you kept silent. February’s financial stress follows you into March. Be open to change, take action to resolve issues, and turn the situation into a learning experience. Get your taxes done and begin a good budget. If you want to make some extra money, the third week in March could bring you a lead. Virgo (8/23-9/22) Finances are mixed throughout March as luck alternates with extra expenses. With careful planning and thoughtful decisions you should end the month in positive territory. Your resources may be limited until the Spring Equinox on the 20th. Safeguard financial information from prying eyes and be cautious with investments. March is the time to clean house and throw out unwanted items. Besides giving your place fresh energy you could make a profit on E-Bay or a consignment shop. Do look inside clothing before you toss though as a hidden pocket could yield some cash. At the Full Moon in your sign on the 10th a relationship could thrive, or end at this turning point that encourages you to think positively and move forward with confidence while blending your needs with someone else’s. Focus on details as tensions rise with deadline pressures. Even meticulous Virgos run the risk of overlooking important facts. Don’t hesitate to ask a coworker for help if you need to. Libra (9/23-10/22) Be prepared for some close relationships to stall and simmer down. If your feelings are wavering, consider putting your decisions on hold until the end of May, when all will become clear for you. March is not the time to make a romantic commitment or to form a business partnership. Looking for a slimmer, trimmer you Tension surrounds the workplace at the Full Moon in Virgo on the 10th. Expect more change, frustration, and added responsibilities. This might be enough to push you to seek a new position. That may or may not be a good thing because you are apt to move from one difficult situation right smack into another. More promising opportunities will arrive for you during the summer months. Now is the time to get started with developing an exercise routine. After the 13th it will become a lot easier for you to work out and develop a nutritious diet. Start slowly and give yourself a chance to adapt. Join a gym, walk with a neighbor, or try a yoga class. Also, be sure to schedule a physical check-up if you haven’t had one in awhile. Your social life promises to be interesting the first half of March. Also, this is a terrific influence for parents if you have children because you’ll both enjoy doing things together. However, be especially tactful with family members around the Aries New Moon on the 26th because things could get a little rocky. Scorpio (10/ 23-11/22) You can expect slow progress and mix-ups at work through mid-April. Coworker relationships will cool with this influence and you’re unlikely to get the support you need. Some co-workers will be just plain difficult this month, controlling and demanding. Keep a record so that you can discuss the situation with a supervisor, if necessary. You’ll enjoy the comforts of home this month, when you have time. It’s a good month to tackle home repairs and minor improvement projects. Keep an eye on appliances and pipes as one could spring a leak. March brings you many opportunities to socialize with friends. Some Scorpios will feel a zing of Love after the Full Moon on the 10th. Take a chance on someone new or ask a friend to arrange a date. If you’re a parent your children will surprise you this month, and it’s still wise to monitor their activities and get to know their friends. Relationships aside, you have a very busy March ahead of you. Deadline pressures mount as March unfolds. The week of the new Moon on March 26th brings you praise and the promise of a raise. Go all-out to impress decision-makers and take any minor setbacks in stride. Sagittarius (11/23-12/21) The effects of last month’s energy continue the first three weeks in March. Home life is hectic at times and the potential for change remains high. You may need to repair or replace an appliance, or make arrangements to care for an elderly or sick relative. With this strong emphasis on change you might get a sudden urge to begin a home improvement project. That is not the best idea right now. Window-shop, plan, and compare costs instead. Your communications will ease in early March. Listen when people present alternate views. If you do they’ll inspire you to delve deeper into the subject matter under discussion. But when driving, ease up on the gas and stay off the phone when you are behind the wheel. Work is likely to be stressful around the Full Moon on March 10th. You’ll be stretched thin, so much so that you might consider moving on or setting up a home-based business. Neither one is a wise choice this month, or this year, Sag. Be flexible, adapt, and ask others for help. March brings you an active social life. If you’re single you could meet a new romantic interest around the time of the new Moon on March 26th. Don’t be concerned if it doesn’t immediately take off. It might be a few months before you get a chance to know each other. If you’re a parent, your children may need some extra attention now. Capricorn (12/22-1/19) Your domestic life is March’s hotspot. You may need to do some home repair or purchase a new appliance. There will also be tense moments when personalities clash. Patience will get you further with loved ones, who are apt to be indecisive at times. March is not the time to purchase new furnishings or launch home improvement projects. Hold off until May. The March 10th Full Moon advises against any travel. Some relatives, possibly in-laws, may require more of your time and attention. As difficult as this may be, you’ll have the strength and determination to take action. Continue to drive with care and don’t let any car maintenance go. Finances benefit you in March, Cap. Be careful of the urge to splurge. What appears to be a great deal may not actually be so. Wait a day or so, think it over, and you’ll likely change your mind. Family life lightens up at month’s end. Use the last week in March to resolve any on-going issues, Encourage open, honest discussions. For the most part you’ll be on the same wavelength. Listen and appreciate each other’s views and then find a workable compromise to meet everyone’s needs. Aquarius (1/20-2/18) People will be less forthcoming in March, Aquarius. Expect to be frustrated at times when what you need is nowhere to be found or someone fails to come through for you. This influence also prompts you to think deeply about what you value and to ponder your life priority list. That can be a very positive and self-motivational tool. Be sure to clarify your thoughts and ask questions rather than make any assumptions this month, as misunderstandings could occur. Even so, difficulties could surround a relationship with a sibling, relative or neighbor; and unfortunately, it’s unlikely to get resolved until late April. Keep that in mind and say nothing that you might later regret. Finances continue to be a high focus. Careful spending is still the path to follow, and remember to check yours and your family’s credit reports if you didn’t last month. Check any billing statements for errors as soon as they arrive and be sure your property is adequately covered by insurance. Keep the faith. Much of your worries will be resolved the first three weeks in March, setting you free to go in a completely new and positive direction. You’re on the go this month, especially around the time of the New Moon on the 26th. The lunar energy could spark a desire for a weekend getaway, but that’s not a good idea because you could experience a mechanical breakdown. Stick around home and save your plans for another time, after mid-April. Pisces (2/19-3/20) Once the upsetting energies of the Full Moon in Virgo pass, Pisces, you’ll be able to put most of the influence behind you until the fall months, when they return for the third time out of five. Personal relationships are the focus and it will be tough to view them objectively. Try, anyway. There’s a valuable lesson here that both you and the other person can benefit from as responsibilities clash with the need for independence. You will feel a boost of energy and intuition on the 14th. Take advantage of the next six weeks to complete everything on your to-do list. One caution, be alert in the kitchen, on ladders, and when working with tools because you are accident-prone at this time. Although relationships have their challenges in March, you will enjoy your friendships and the workplace communication. Even so, you may be unusually sensitive to other people’s comments. Try to view constructive criticism as just that rather than negative feedback. Upon reflection you might find the message to be rather enlightening. Finances are mixed in March. On the upside, you could receive a windfall around the New Moon on the 26th. However, an unexpected expense could arise around the 6th. Be conservative and save.
