March 2012 horoscope for Leo
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.
While Mercury is in your area of long distance trips, international matters and philosophies, this area will have an extra buzz. Until March 6th you can fill out any application for an international document, you can travel or schedule a trip; you can follow a path of spirituality or anything you wish.
From March 13th on, you should cancel any trip you have scheduled for this period of time dear Leo. You can experience all kind of mishaps and come back home more stressed than when you left.
Don’t even think about filling out an application for a green card, a passport or any immigration document after the 6th, we always consider 7 days before Mercury starts retrograde, because the energy becomes slow and prone to mistakes and problems.
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.
You are very artistic and you love everything that is splendid and sophisticated. As does Venus; the goddess who is all about luxury, gold, and grace. If your business is related to subjects related to luxury, or beauty, dear Leo, you can have a super artistic and creative time. As the month of March goes by, Venus will improve your career and take it to the next level.
Actors and actress, you have the best energy! You can get “the opportunity” to show how talented you are.
Artists, photographers, fashion designers, dancers and musicians could be very successful at this time as well.
On the 3rd, someone will push the wrong button on you and God knows how loud your roar can sound dear Leo.
Maybe your partner is mad at you because you are acting like an out of control spender… and between us…. he or she is right. You have been throwing money out of the window since Mars entered your area of money last November 11th 2011.
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.
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.
This full moon is again all about money, and you have to control your urge to spend it. You may find many convincing excuses like “I need this” but before you create a hole in your savings account or in your salary be honest with yourself: “what difference in your life does this new dress make?”
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 said above, Mercury will retrograde in your
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.”
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.
For you dear Leo, this mutuality effect can affect your pockets. You can get very confused when dealing with money; you are so prone to make a wrong decision dear Leo, so be very careful, don’t spend, don’t borrow, don’t lend.
International negotiations should be avoided or double-checked in every small detail.
You could be robbed on a trip during this time, and this could get so nasty, so I really have to advise you on that.
I know your career is going through a splendid time and you may want to spend the money you know will come, but at a period like this, we have to count on the unforeseen ODDS.
Sometimes things do not unfold, as they seem like they should.
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.
This beautiful aspect could lead to a massive improvement in your work. Your career, which has grown of late, will get to its best moment. You could ascend to a higher position in your job; you could become the CEO of your company. If you are an assistant you may take your boss’ position. It’s the touch of Midas for your career.
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.
You have no idea, how this splash of stars can improve your career. Some of you could become a star over night.
You will feel empowered in you position and co-workers will be impressed with your capability and talent.
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.
The Sun, your ruler, is shinning in your area of travel, so you can go on a trip after the 13th and have a dream trip.
You can get to know very important people who will be very agreeable.
This is a fun moment for you, the sign of Aries is your brother sign and both are fire signs, and so you will feel very connected with the universe.
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.
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 represents a call of freedom for you. You may find some ways of pursuing your spiritual path. It’s a time to explore the world, to travel, to get to know other cultures and to learn.
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.
Again! Money matters are in jeopardy, be very careful if you use money that doesn’t belong to you, like credit cards, tax payment or worse, the money you share with your partner or spouse.
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.
This is an amazing energy for you dear Leo, it’s a very special day; things can change for you in an unexpected way, for better. Use your imagination and creativity in every way that you can.
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!
