March 2012 horoscope for Virgo

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.

Your ruler planet Mercury is the star (or the noisiest planet) in March, making aspects and retrograding in the sigon of Aries, which is not the most comfortable sign for Virgos and worse still, in your area of money and shared money, your favorite subject.
If you are working on your taxes dear Virgo, be extra attentive, you can miss an important item and you don’t want the IRS auditing your company or your personal life.
You can forget payments, the bills may be late or misdirected, and if you deal with investments, you are more prone to make mistakes at this time; all that ends on March 24th, when Mercury goes back to your area of relationships.

On the 3rd, someone could be very provocative and you will not resist to say something harsh back, but on the other hand, you can be the provocative one, but in a better way… Showing how sexy and what a tease you can be.
You can turned an argument into a pleasant “momentum.”

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.

Venus is in the area of international matters; foreign persons and overseas trips.
My first bet is that you can fall in love (and it will be reciprocated) with a foreigner.
In search for enlightenment, you can meet a special person who can open a new world of possibilities for you.
It’s a good time to explore the world and all its infinite possibilities.

Today you are also up to something different and eccentric dear Virgo. Be yourself, free yourself and do what your heart tells you to do. Creativity and spontaneity lift the soul!
Do something wild!
You may hear great news today!

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 going to fall in your sign dear Virgo, and very close to Mars, the fiery planet who has being dwelling in  your sign since last November 11th 2011, and we know how uptight you have being since then, and during  this full moon things will peak. Any wrongly said word can sound like an insult to you; a gentle blow in your ears can be an invitation for a duel.

Sometimes, even when we know how our emotions will act, we still can’t control them… But you can minimize this effect by taking a floral called RESCUE and you can find it in any health store. I love floral remedy, they affect your emotions and it’s safe even for babies, animals or flowers. You just take 3 drops under the tongue 3 times a day.
The closest people to you, specially the dearest ones, can be the target for your anger so avoid arguments and the “we need to talk” approach at this time.

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 mutuality event has your name on it dear Virgo. Sorry but Mars is in your sign and Mercury your ruler is in Aries, the sign that doesn’t match with Virgo.
You have to organize every part of your life closely and carefully at this time, but also leave some room for eventualities and change of directions at the last minute.
This messy moment can affect all parts of your life, relationships, business, career and money (above all).
So it’s advised that you don’t invest in any major career move, pay attention to all the details (and you are good at that) and don’t trust your intuition; recheck everything before considering it finished.

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.

If you are traveling at this time or even if you have a permanent residence in a country other the one you were born in, this aspect can benefit you in many ways.
If you are a lawyer, you may be very successful with the results of a case you are handling at this time.
This is a good energy for writers looking for a publisher or an agent, but not for launching your book, because all the retrograde planets can mess up the results even if it’s an amazing book with the best potential.

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.

For you dear Virgo, if you use your imagination and lift your soul out of the material world, you can have a very pleasant time, and all the hot sex you can wish for.
You are ardent and passionate today, and you are overflowing. If you are single, you can attract any human being looking for a soul mate today, or just looking for a hot person like  you.
And if you are attached… You know what to do! Have sex! Hot, hot sex! And enjoy your dearest one.

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 attention now goes to your finances, but also to the area of sex and mysteries.
This is a good time to reorganize your finances since they have been on a roller coast lately.
Release the wild side of yourself… release your deepest desires; let the wind mess up your hair… do things you never thought about doing not even in your wildest dreams!

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.

On the 21st, the Sun and your ruler planet Mercury are teaming up, gathering their energies and making it a good day for you.

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 in your area of finances can be a call for new organization in your savings, credit cards, tax and life insurance. Have all this organized. Start a new approach to take care of your money.

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 retrograde could create some craziness in your relationships, so be careful with what you say and be attentive to what you hear. However, the good side is that you can rebuild your relationship if it’s in trouble or if you are single… and if you are alone looking for a new love, you could get a call from a ex, proposing a date and you are back in love rebuilding a new relationship with someone from your past.

Mercury in Pisces can help you to see the wholeness of life, the beauty of totality instead of the worrying about small unimportant details; and your “mentor” could be someone who can be madly in love with you dear Virgo.

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!
