Your March Horoscope for Gemini
Let’s now turn to look at Mars, which has been in your sign since August 20, putting you up front and in focus. Mars gave you plenty of energy, courage, and drive over the past six months, and you have several more weeks to go. Mars’ long stay in Gemini is unusual. Seven weeks is more typical, not a total of seven months. Being the leader of the parade, you were under pressure to perform, and you had to deftly handle obstacles as they came up because everyone was looking to you for direction. At times you may have felt like everybody—at home and at work—needed you at once. Sometimes you wished you could have simply cloned yourself. The large amount of stimulation may have been a little too much. Adding to the pressure, Mars went retrograde from October 30 to January 12, a time that no matter how hard you worked, it was an uphill battle to make any sort of substantial progress.
Still, having shown you the down side of Mars in your sign for so long, make no mistake, having Mars in your sign (or your ascendant) is a privilege and a competitive advantage that can help you achieve major success. You may feel you were working too hard without any breaks, but soon you will be able to feel a sense of ease you’ve not experienced in months. For now, use Mars in Gemini, from March 1 to 24, before Mars leaves on March 25.
When Mars moves out of Gemini and into Cancer, you will spend more money than you have lately. You seem to have a very good reason, and the expenses appear to be expected. You may be buying a house, renovating, having a baby, investing in your business—there are many possibilities, too numerous to list. This period of high expense or major check writing will not be very long—only extending from March 25 to May 20, thank goodness.
The new moon in Aries, 1 degree, that will arrive on March 21 will be very special, for it lands the day after the vernal equinox, the first day of spring, in the Northern Hemisphere. Any planet at 0 or 1 degree Aries (or any cardinal sign—Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn) is said to have hit “the Aries Point,” and is considered to have super high energy.
