March 2012 horoscope for Libra
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 is entering you area of relationships, dear Libra, enhancing communication with your spouse or partner. This is a good time to talk with your spouse about changing some patterns that are harmful to the well being and health of the relationship.
Sometimes we just keep doing the same things over and over, leaving it in default; nagging about the same issues and then you suddenly realize you are stagnating on the same point. You fight all the time and you just don’t know how to act differently and you keep encouraging the other person to fight back as well.
Use this time to think about it, to rebuild and resurrect your marriage or committed relationship.
Make a commitment to each other to stop seeing the other one evasively. Propose a change, to stop repeating the same mistakes and start seeing and acknowledging the positive qualities each one has, not the negative ones.
This can make your love life develop and go to a better place and you will reconnect in more pleasant and new ways.
Mercury is going to retrograde in this area, giving a great chance to operate these shifts in your relationship.
Today the 4th, you are asked to balance love and work. It’s okay to be extra responsible, so long as you fulfill your spouse’s need for affection; your partner is keen to spend some quality time together, so give the attention he or she needs.
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.
Your ruler, the goddess of love, beauty, luxury and all the beautiful things life can offer is entering the sign that is also ruled by Venus, your brother sign, Taurus.
This is going to be very beneficial to your finances and to your intimate relationships; at this time money and love can get along and very well.
This area if related to shared money, to the assets that belong to both of you, to divorce settlements, tax, credit cards and sex. So all these matters will benefit with the help of Venus…. Yes dear Libra the area of sex as well…
The 6th is a romantic day, you are in love with love and very generous with other human beings. Venus your ruler is beautifully aspecting Neptune.
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.
You may need to be alone, dear Libra to balance all the activities in your life. Work has taken your breath away lately, you have being deeply involved with the material world, and you are not feeling whole, because you are not allocating your time with the other side of life, such as spirituality, and meditation. Please get in touch with your soul, connect with what is beneath the surface and a hidden matter may be revealed to you.
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.
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.”
This is all about relationships and a better understanding of your inner needs dear Libra.
This is a time when you really should take some time to be alone, reflecting upon your life and I’m sure meditation can open up more channels of understanding yourself and your mottos.
You can choose not to pay attention to this moment, and not even make any effort to repair your relationship, and in this case you may become very confused and lost, because the planets will act randomly without your control.
So take the reins of your life and align yourself with the Cosmos.
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.
You can feel protected in matters of money dear Libra, the planet of luck and good fortune is on your side. You could receive a very valuable gift from your spouse or partner. He or she may be doing a very lucrative deal and you will benefit as well.
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.
This is an amazing day for you dear Libra, your godmother, Venus is enjoying the good will of Jupiter, and they are teaming up to make you happy, be it through money or sex, or both.
It’s a very lucky day; you can hear very good news. You have a range of possibilities and opportunities today.
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.
Your attention goes to your dearest one, your spouse or someone you have a committed relationship with.
The down side is that you may neglect your own needs in the name of love. Balance is always the best approach to any matter in life.
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.
And here it comes, a beautiful and unique new moon in your area of relationships. Needless to say, if you have worked hard in creating a balance and a more pleasant coexistence with your spouse dear Libra, you will get the rewards and be amazed at how you can step to a better place, when individuality and respect go side by side. I bet you will have more time to love each other from now on.
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.
Mercury goes back to you area of work and health and before you think about scheduling a medical exam, I’ll advise you not too, until passing April 4th.
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!
