The Full Moon in VIRGO<br />

The Personal Signs<br />
Aries (3/21 – 4/20)<br />
You may notice that fewer love and social opportunities<br />
come your way between now and mid-April.<br />
This is not the time for a love commitment or a<br />
wedding. If you meet a potential romantic partner,<br />
be patient as it might take until the end of April or<br />
early May for the two of you to get together.<br />
Relationship misunderstandings are also more<br />
than likely now, so pause to think before you say<br />
what’s on your mind. Keep your eyes and ears<br />
open the week of March 10th’s Full Moon in Virgo.<br />
You could pick up some interesting information<br />
and undercurrents about continuing changes and<br />
new opportunities. Expected payments could be<br />
delayed this month, so postpone any major purchases.<br />
Continue to see friends and network<br />
through March 16th. Take some time at the New<br />
Moon on the 26th to think about what you want to<br />
accomplish over the next twelve months, both personally<br />
and professionally. Then put your goals in<br />
writing, get inspired, and begin to implement them.<br />
Most of your challenges this month are likely to be<br />
career related. Month’s end is the hotspot, so try<br />
not to push anyone’s buttons, or allow them to<br />
push yours. Even if you do know what’s best<br />
regarding a career matter, be wise and go along<br />
with the boss’s decision. Anything else will be a<br />
no-win situation. Exercise to relieve your stress.<br />

Taurus (4/21-5/21)<br />
Life will frustrate you in March. Please keep this in<br />
mind when your personal plans stall, and think of<br />
it as an opportunity to refine your goals before<br />
your birthday month arrives in a month or so. Last<br />
month’s relationship will resurface after the march<br />
10th Full Moon in Virgo. The positive news is that<br />
the matter should be resolved, at least to the point<br />
where you can move forward. Group activities<br />
associated with business or an organization are<br />
also impacted by the lunar energy and best postponed<br />
until April, if possible. You will have plenty of<br />
chances to see friends and meet new people.<br />
Among them could be someone who will be a<br />
valuable future contact. Use the first two weeks of<br />
March to reinforce your position with decision<br />
makers, and aim for the first week if you plan to<br />
make a presentation or interview. There could be<br />
delays in important job related matters, so be prepared<br />
to rely on your noted patience. Listen to<br />
your inner voice around the time of March 26th<br />
and the New Moon. It could reveal new insights<br />
regarding your love life, your job or schooling, and<br />
your values. Meditation can be effective now as<br />
both a stress reliever and a way to calm your mind<br />
and open it to fresh insights.<br />
Gemini (5/21-6/20)<br />
Last month’s stress and relationship issues will<br />
continue through the first three weeks of March.<br />
These issues will reach their peak at the Virgo Full<br />
Moon on the 10th. The good news is that this<br />
energy can put you a step closer to resolving the<br />
issues. Don’t expect this process to be challenge<br />
free, however. More than likely it will be a balancing<br />
act and a test of how willing you are to accept<br />
necessary changes in your career, domestic life,<br />
or both. You will be doing some traveling in March;<br />
and for some, this could be a relocation while for<br />
others a long business trip. If neither is in your<br />
plans, plan to get some R & R at a nearby luxury<br />
health spa, where you can party safely. Some<br />
friendships are rocky while others are at their best;<br />
however, your social life won’t be as active as<br />
usual. Be patient if a romantic liaison doesn’t<br />
immediately take off. It may be mid-May before<br />
you have a chance to know each other. March is<br />
tax season and it’s time to take a close look at<br />
your financial goals, or get busy setting them —<br />
including savings, debt reduction, and how best to<br />
maximize your earnings. It’s possible that you<br />
could net a raise or cost cutting perk to get yourself<br />
started on the road to financial freedom. Skip<br />
all but the most conservative long-term investments<br />
even if someone close encourages you to<br />
do otherwise. Be sure never to mix money with<br />
friendships.<br />
Lingering effects of lasts month’s upsets continue<br />
to advise you against travel and legal matters,<br />
especially the week of the Virgo Full Moon on the<br />
10th. Be extra cautious on the road this month<br />
and consider public transportation or car-pooling if<br />
those options are available. Learning, whether in<br />
class or on your own, stimulates your mind and,<br />
although it may frustrate you at times, success<br />
comes with persistence. Laughter is a great antidote<br />
for the stress and strains of March. You’ll also<br />
benefit from an upbeat attitude and positive thinking.<br />
Spread this good cheer wherever you go and<br />
many people will brighten your day. You will be<br />
faced with challenging workplace issues around<br />
the time of the New Moon on the 26th. Power<br />
plays are possible and controlling people almost a<br />
given. Stay on the sidelines as much as possible<br />
and protect your position. Be very cautious if you<br />
want to pursue a workplace romance. Get<br />
acquainted on your own time. Anything else could<br />
put your job at risk. Despite the difficult relationships<br />
you’ll encounter in your career, now is the<br />
time to lay the groundwork for your success. Apply<br />
for a promotion if that’s your goal, or send out<br />
resumes if you are ready for a new opportunity.<br />
Whatever you do now will bring in results in late<br />
April. Finances are mostly status quo in March,<br />
but you will need to double-check that all bills are<br />
paid on time.<br />
Leo (7/23-8/22)<br />
You might want to postpone any travel until late<br />
April or early May, Leo. Delays and cancellations<br />
are possible any time this month, especially the<br />
last ten days of March. Legal matters proceed<br />
slowly, if at all, and a favorable outcome is unlikely<br />
if you initiate action now. In-laws and other relatives<br />
can really test your patience. The first week<br />
in March accents fortunate contacts, at least one<br />
of which will inspire you to have faith in yourself.<br />
You can also get good advice if you first do some<br />
research and then go to the right source. Check<br />
professional credentials rather than take anyone at<br />
face value. Then ask direct questions and expect<br />
direct answers. You will be in touch with many<br />
people this month. Partnerships benefit from open<br />
communication and passionate moments, but the<br />
Cancer (6/21-7/22) workplace relationships won’t be so positive. An<br />
