March 2012 horoscope for Cancer
Today, February 28th, the 12th Mercury starts to retrograde. If you want to get well informed about Mercury retrograde, please read my article about it.
March will be such a complex but interesting month!
In the middle of such a chaotic time in politics and global financial turmoil, we may experience a little prospect of recovery or at least a momentary rise in our hopes, thanks to Jupiter, the lord of prosperity and good fortune and Pluto the transformer and powerful planet, beautifully aspecting each other, for the first two weeks of March.
This is the third and last meeting of Jupiter and Pluto, which have been on and off since July 2011. The area where Jupiter is traveling in your chart is where you can see the light of hope.
Mercury the planet that rules transportation, travel, communication, learning, and the media, is retrograde from March 12th until April 4th. Mars and Saturn are retrograde as well, so we have to adjust our timing with the Cosmos; in other words, be patient and don’t hurry on your projects, but instead go over them as many times as is needed to make them absolutely perfect.
Success and improvement will come... slowly but surely.
And here comes the Equinox, representing the first day of the year in astrology and we are eager to start something new.
Did you ever try to drive your car with the hand brake pulled?
The car engine is on making that revving noise, the wheels are spinning but the car doesn’t move. That’s the feeling we are going to have in all activities in the month of March.
Mercury enters Aries on the 2nd and we tend to think less and talk more. We can get stuck in trying to prove our points of view. It’s healthier to stop shouting and quit proclaiming truths that are really only opinions.
Inner wisdom comes in silence! It is an excellent time for self-reflection.
However use the first 10 days of March, to get your tasks taken care of, like buying electronics if needed, traveling, moving, relocating, launching projects or presenting a business proposition before Mercury goes retrograde on the 12th.
Mercury remains in Aries until March 23rd.
Mercury in Aries will transit your area of career dear Cancer, you will get busier during this time, sending out emails, attending meetings and even taking a course to improve your skills.
If your work is in media, selling or buying, or if you deal with transportation or writing, this should be a time when action in these matters takes place in a more active way.
You may sign an important contract, one related to your business.
But watch out for Mercury retrograde from the 12th on, because then, no matter how hard you try, things tend to slow down and it’s not advised to initiate anything new at this time; don’t even buy a new computer or software, they can come with a defect or a difficult problem to solve, you may end up having to return your purchases. So it’s just better to not have to go through all this if you can avoid it.
Also, today the 2nd, your ruler the Moon is in your sign dear Cancer, making this a very special day, when you feel very good about yourself. It’s your monthly moon return, in other words, it’s a perfect day (the 3rd and the 4th as well) to start something new, be it a diet, to quit smoking… or to start a new job.
Venus the lady that rules love, beauty, the arts and luxury is entering the sign of Taurus, the most sensual and steady sign, today the 5th.
We don’t want superficial love, we want a stable relationship.
The arts will benefit from this time, which is lasting until April 3rd. We can see improvements in the cosmetic industry, like the launching of an amazing product or an FDA approval of a beauty contraption that can improve something relating to the human body.
We've got a languid demeanor that makes everything we do seem sensual.
This is party time dear Cancer, with Venus in your area of friends and groups; you will be the first one on the guest list. Your friends will beg for your presence in every social event, and let me tell you something… do you know “that friend” who looks at you a little differently? He or she may ask you on a date… Well it’s better to have a relationship with a friend than with a stranger right?
On the 8th, when the Sun rises, at 5:40 AM, there’s a full moon in Virgo, very close to Mars retrograde in Virgo as well, creating such a tense morning that will continue on for the next 7 days.
Let’s look at the big picture instead of picking the unimportant details and making a big deal of it all. Stick with what is really meaningful for you.
You feel energetic and sensitive during full moons dear Cancer, but sometimes you feel a little anxious and uptight, especially during this full moon, with Mars getting on your nerves. This full moon is in your area of communication, so with Mercury in you area of career this is the time you may be signing that contract I told you about before, and get ready, your agenda now becomes hectic.
During this full moon you are going to be doing a thousand things, running errands, people are going to talk your ear off, and you are going to be BUSY.
You are pushed to find a balance, do what you have to do, but take some free time for yourself to go on an adventurous trip or on a spiritual retreat during this full moon.
This full moon wants us to connect with the wholeness, the universal love and to the people dearest to us. Everything else goes, but the feeling of love is eternal.
Today the 12th Mercury starts to retrograde. If you want to get well informed about Mercury retrograde, please read my article at: Mercury retrograde.
Mercury is retrograde in Aries, the sign of action and energy. Mars the planet that also rules action and energy is also retrograde in Virgo since January 23rd and remains there until April 13th.
Mars is in Mercury’s ruling sign (Virgo) and Mercury is in Mars ruling sign (Aries); as we say in astrology, they are in mutual reception, which is when each planet is in the sign ruled by the other.
As I mentioned above, Mercury will retrograde until March 24th in your career area, so don’t expect for much results because for a period, no matter how much you try to accomplish your tasks things don’t move.
Don’t worry, after the 25th, Mercury will retrograde back to your area of long distance trips and you just better stay in town until April 3rd.
To understand what a mutual reception is Think of time-share house-swaps: you have an apartment in New York City and want to summer in Brazil; someone in Brazil wants to come to New York at the same time. The deal is made, you live in each other’s homes, getting very close together without ever meeting, and the mutual exchange touches both lives.
This fact will empower both planets and the retrograde action will be much stronger, which could create quite a frustrating energy. Currently, we can’t count on the energy we need to initiate something or to stay in action. We may experience problems in transportation, travel, railways, flying, in sending correspondence, computer related issues and most activities that include action, such as sports, protests and decision-making.
The working class can be impaired by things like having to wait for any measures or reform action about to be taken in their favor.
With everything, it feels like the whole world is in slow motion…
If we insist in acting fast and getting our projects done, we may become very frustrated because, IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AT THIS TIME!
“As above, so is below.”
For you dear Cancer this “mutuality” between Mercury and Mars will affect your business and communications area very much, so be very careful and attentive when sending out messages and documents (you don’t want to send the wrong message to the wrong person). Don’t sign any contracts until April 13th, because Mars is retrograding right in your area of documents, bureaucracy and contracts and of course communication. Don’t travel either; you can have all kinds of mishaps while traveling. Do your best and pray for the best!
We have to take this time to perfect out projects, redo them, review them, return to places we have been to before, and reconnect with people we haven’t seen for long time. We ought to research deeply subjects of our interest, and most importantly, we have to be patient and let the results unfold at their own pace.
Step back! Relax, Mercury goes direct on April 4th and Mars on April 13th and then you will have the best and most perfect and precise project or decision organized or made, ready to be launched.
Jupiter and Pluto, makes their last trine out of three, between March 8th and the 18th, and opportunities can knock on our door…
It’s a fantastic time to review your investments or make adjustments to your savings plan. Unfortunately this beautiful energy won’t be in full range, because we can’t count on Mars and Mercury, which will be asleep and slow.
But just the fact that they are retrograde and under this fortunate transit, may protect us from something harmful that could have been worse if we didn’t have this blessed aspect and the retrograding planets.
This planetary configuration could cause something like that lucky unsuccessful attempt to bomb Times Square a couple years ago when the police caught the bomber in time and avoided the worst.
For you my dear Cancer, I would just use this time to enjoy your friends, because networking for you is where you will find the gold. Friends can surprise you with a strong push to find you a new love, of course if you are looking for one.
But if you are having any relationship troubles, one very good friend of yours can do something that will change the scenario.
You can count on your friends; they will be there for you either to give you a shoulder to cry on or to introduce you to the love of your dreams.
The 13th is a SUPER LUCKY DAY for relationships. If you are attached, your relationship may go to another level today or you may get that feeling that you want this one to last forever.
Moreover, if your relationship is going through any troubles lately, today everything can be healed, with a help or push of a very good friend.
Single Cancer, you can find someone today who is going to change your life and you are going to love it!
The 14th is a super lucky day. This is one of those days when couples fall in love, the stock market rallies, we hear good news in a broadcast, and our hopes are raised. If you want to pick a day to have an important meeting, to set a date with someone special or to just have fun, this is THE day!
Venus is teaming up with Jupiter and Pluto, (and don’t forget Jupiter is in beautiful aspect with Pluto) and Mars is also in a fantastic angle with Jupiter and Pluto!
There aren’t many days like this one very often; mark this day on your calendar and share your experience with me in my blog, Yes! I’m 58; I want to know what kind of lucky experiences you had today.
Again dear Cancer one more 5 star day for romance. Anything can happen today. When you wake up, take a moment to meditate and ask the universe for what you want for yourself in relationships matters, like to find your soul mate, to heal your troubled relationship, make someone ask you out on a date… anything you want, you can get.
The sun enters the sign of Aries today the 20th. The Equinox is coming! Plan something for the Equinox in advance and enjoy the fast trip to reaching your goals.
This is your time to shine and show the world how talented you are dear Cancer. The Sun will be shinning in your area of career.
You can count on the help of celebrities and important people.
If you are an actor or actress, you may get the part you always dreamed about and your image will be all over the magazines and billboards. This is the time of the year you get more exposure, no matter what career you are in.
As this turbulent time goes by, which will end by April 4th you still have two weeks (until April 19th) to act under this great energy.
If you have a plan, improve this project as much as you can and show it off after April 13th.
Equinox happens twice a year, springtime and in the fall. It’s when the sun crosses the plane of the earth’s equator and day and night are of equal length.
The day the sun enters the sign of Aries, (same day as the Equinox) is seen by astrologers as the beginning (first day) of the astrological year. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac; Aries is the initiator, the pioneer, and always ready for action.
Aries' motto is "Ready to start”
When the sun enters the sign of Aries, the universe is open for new beginnings. There’s this energy of initiation which is appropriate for starting new projects, new routines, a new diet, a new exercise program, to launch a new book, an art exhibition, to change locations, to start a new job or a new life.
This energy is comparable to going sailing when there is a tailwind, and you don’t have to row, but just head the boat in the direction you want to go and enjoy the sailing without much effort.
However with Mars and Mercury retrograde the tailwind sailing can be replaced by the pulled brake while the foot is on the pedal effect. We should hold off on initiating anything today, but we can set new goals, make our resolutions for the year, or plan something to be implemented after April 13th. It’s a time to perfect our projects.
From March 19 to the 21st you are sensitive and generous. It’s a perfect time for meditation and healing.
The new moon on the 22nd in Aries marks the real first new moon of the new astrological year.
We can propose a change in ourselves, in our behavior and in how we approach our tasks more efficiently, how we connect with others, and how we bring out our creativity.
This New moon may get on your nerves, making you do tons of errands and hurrying on a project your boss (who’s unaware that Mercury is retrograding) wanted completed by yesterday. But this could be a chance to show to your boss or your partner, how special and irreplaceable you are!
Because even with Mercury retrograde, you will deliver the project in an efficient manner, dear Cancer.
The new moon in Aries underlines our uniqueness.
On the 23rd, Mercury goes back to Pisces until April 16th. Pisces represents mystical dimensions beyond what is immediately available to our five senses of this physical world, so things can be quite confusing, when dealing with mundane subjects…
Some can follow the wrong GURU during this time thinking he is the salvation for your soul, only to find out later he is only an impostor.
Traveling at this time could be quite confusing, you could miss a plane, or you could mistake your reservations and so on.
Don’t make any attempts to deal with immigration papers, and avoid international negotiations. But after April 4th, things get back to normal.
The Sun and Uranus join the same energy of Aries on the 24th, emphasizing the affirmation of the New Moon in Aries that we are unique and special.
There will be something that only you can do, a path that only you can walk, and a story that only you can write.
Bet on it!
Have a great month and happy new astrological year!
