Your March Horoscope for Gemini
Click for VIP Access to Susan
The month starts out with a lovely meeting of graceful Venus in perfect alignment to good-fortune Jupiter. They are meeting in Aries, usually a once-a-year event that’s always in a different sign and house of the horoscope. Everyone of every sign will enjoy this conjunction, but you may appreciate it a little more than most because Venus and Jupiter are meeting in your house of friendship. You may make the acquaintance of someone who interests you and could become a friend later.
This is a highly social vibration, so you may be invited to a friend’s party or wedding, a charity event, or a lavish humanitarian fundraiser. (Jupiter does nothing halfway—he and Venus both love luxury.) On the other hand, you might want to treat yourself and purchase an expensive item you’ve had your eye on or go to the spa or salon and have an indulgent treatment.
I had pointed out March 1 and 2 at the end of my February forecast, so maybe you’ve already planned to do something special. These dates fall on a Wednesday and Thursday and will still be strong on Friday and Saturday, March 3 and 4, as the aspect gradually dissipates. On Friday and Saturday, the transiting moon will be in Leo, and that is quite a wonderful place for you. A quick, fun, and romantic trip might be in the cards. All Gemini will enjoy this. According to the degrees that Jupiter and Venus are meeting, if you were born within five days of June 1, you will have a double dip of pleasure.
Next we have the full moon in Virgo, 17 degrees, on March 7, to light your house of home and family. You may be taking a trip to visit your mother, father, sibling—a member of your immediate family—or possibly a cousin. Or you might be finishing up a home remodeling project or even concluding a deal to buy your dream house or rent a bright, new apartment. If you have been shopping, you may have furniture delivered, or you might see workmen finalize repairs or construction. If you have been working with a landscape artist, your property makeover will be finished, and you can enjoy the results. As you see, this full moon will bring a conclusion to a home or family matter.
I feel you will love this full moon because it comes packed with unexpected news and happenstance. Uranus, the planet of surprise, now in Taurus, will be beautifully oriented to the full moon in Virgo, and happily, Uranus will take a predominant role—he will rule the day.
Virgo is ruled by Mercury, and Mercury will be conjunct Saturn, indicating that you will be taking a measured, thoughtful approach to all that happens this month, especially in regard to your career. (Both Mercury and Saturn are found in your tenth house of honors, awards, and achievement.) Saturn is a newcomer to your tenth house of prestigious career advancement, and he is settling in for a nearly three-year stay. Soon you will be offered a role with greater responsibility, and if you commit to it, you will rise to a new and higher level of visibility in your career. This is new—you have not had Saturn in your tenth house since 1993-1996. If you were in the workforce back then, you may have started on a new track that brought you much success in subsequent years.
Last month you had a new moon in Pisces on February 19, when something may have been bubbling regarding a new project or position, and it would be one that would again raise your profile. Think about the phone calls and meetings you may have had recently—you might have planted an important seed that will have the potential to grow to enormous heights if you give it the nurturing it requires. If you don’t feel anything important happened, you still have Saturn, Mercury, the Sun, and Neptune in your tenth house—that means you have a lot of planetary energy you can harness in your career. The force is with you.
Mark March 27 on your calendar—think of it as a fragrant bouquet sent to you from a loving universe.
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.
This sweet new moon will bring a big boost to your social life. If you have been cooped up inside, working hard, you will enjoy going out, seeing friends, and having a much easier time. You will have four celestial bodies in your eleventh house of hopes and wishes—the Sun, the new moon, Jupiter, and Mercury—and all will be in the sign of the renewal of life—Aries. Platonic relationships come under the domain of this house, so your relationships with friends will grow and deepen. You may be moved to work on a humanitarian or charitable effort this month as this house is also associated with compassion for those who are suffering and need to be championed and aided in substantial ways.
The activity in this house could also bring several romantic evenings.
Before you even get to the new moon on March 21, however, you have one outstanding day when Venus in Aries will signal her lover Mars in Gemini on Saturday, March 11.
This day, March 11, is a very magnetic vibration that will increase your attractiveness beautifully. Whether you’re single or attached, this day could be a standout for you. On this same day, Mercury will receive a wink from Uranus, bringing surprises, possibilities for travel, and fun conversation and banter. The perfume of honeysuckle will linger in the midnight air on this very special weekend date, March 11.
A very important day for you, perhaps the finest of the month, will be March 27 when there will be the annual meeting between your ruling planet Mercury and good-fortune Jupiter. Each year these two planets meet in a different sign, and this year they will meet in Aries, a highly compatible fire sign to your air-sign element, and they will be in this magical eleventh house where the new moon will energize March 21 for weeks ahead. Mark this date on your calendar—think of it as a fragrant bouquet sent to you from a loving universe.
SUMMARY
Click for VIP Access to Susan
You may have temporarily assumed that it will be nearly impossible to advance in your career no matter how hard you work because it’s been so difficult to make progress lately, yet nothing could be further from the truth. You will have an enormous opportunity to elevate your career, but to see progress, you will need to take on more responsibility and strive to reach new heights. Indeed, to make progress in the coming weeks, months, and three years, you will need to work with taskmaster Saturn, who will enter your tenth house of honors, awards, and achievement on March 7, when he enters Pisces.
Think of Saturn as an experienced tutor who will guide you into a new area of your specialty, one that will require you to work hard with a spirit of total commitment and concentration—at the exclusion of just about everything else. Saturn is known to be demanding, but Saturn knows how to bring out and hone your greatest strengths. His method is similar to that of a drill sergeant, so at times you might doubt he is really on your side, but Saturn is working in your interest, and he is certainly effective. It’s been a long time since Saturn visited Pisces—the last time was from May 1993 to May 1996.
This time Saturn will remain in your prestigious career sector (tenth house) from March 7, 2023, to February 13, 2026. If you are old enough, think back to 1993 through 1996. If you were at least 20 or older, what were you doing at that time in your career? Did you accomplish something that you were proud to share with others? You were much younger then, but you may be able to pick out a theme that will again come up now and bring you to a new level of expertise, garnering much industry respect. Of course, you may not have even been born yet, and in that case, Saturn will now give you a big chance to make a name for yourself.
March 7 will be important for another reason, for it will bring the full moon in Virgo, filling your fourth house of home and family. You may conclude a major aim regarding your home at this time, like moving to a new address or completing a major renovation. Alternatively, a family member—such as your mother—could surprise you with news, like giving you a check or gift you did not expect because she had kept her generous plan under wraps until now. No doubt about it, you are in for a wonderful surprise at this full moon on March 7.
Pluto will be moving to a new sign too—which is big news. Pluto hasn’t moved signs since 2008. Pluto orbits at the outermost ring of our solar system, and he takes 248 years to circle the zodiac. This month Pluto will enter Aquarius, a sign that blends well with your Gemini Sun sign, for Aquarius is a fellow air sign. This month Pluto will enter Aquarius on March 23, but will leave on June 11, giving you a preview of what’s to come next year when he re-enters permanently in January 2024 to stay until January 2044, a whopping 20 years.
Your ninth house, where Pluto will reside for such a long time, is an area that you are very comfortable with—it rules absorbing information and also shares the knowledge you take in through communication. The ninth house rules higher education, publishing, broadcasting, and the digital world, as well as distant travel. If you don’t travel far and wide, it may be that your work will grow in influence, so your work will travel for you—extending across the globe. This is a mind-expanding trend, one that I feel you will be deeply affected by having Pluto in Aquarius and the massive transformations it will bring to society. We will all be moving away from a consumer-based economy (things we shop for that we can see and feel) to a more information-based, creative, and digital world. You, more than most signs, will feel comfortable in the world that we are heading toward.
Mars has been moving through Gemini since August 20 and is still in your sign, which is unusual for Mars, a planet that usually makes much shorter trips of about seven weeks through each sign, not one that lasts seven months. Having Mars in Gemini has been a wonderful advantage, for it has put you in a leadership position.
At the same time, there was a possible downside to having so much energy and electrical charge directed your way from Mars. At times you could have felt you were subjected to too much stimulation. You are a live wire to begin with, always running on nervous energy, so you soon found you needed to find ways to cool down and de-stress. When Mars went retrograde from October 30 to January 12 (which must have felt like an endless set of weeks), no matter how hard you worked, you felt as if you weren’t seeing the results you had hoped to achieve. You WERE putting in a lot.
When Mars went direct on January 12, you gradually entered your best period of all, which you are still in now. You will have until March 25 to use this precious energy directed to you by Mars to take control of a competitive situation and convince VIPs that you’ve had the right solutions all along and that management should allow you to prove this to them. On March 25, you will lose Mars in Gemini, not to return until next year on July 20, 2024, until September 4, 2024, a period of six and a half weeks (not seven months!).
Returning to March, you will be thinking about your career a lot now as you have the Sun, Saturn, Mercury (your ruler), and Neptune (the planet of creativity) crowded in your tenth house. Not only will you get sweet surprises from home-related developments but also in events related to your career this month.
It won’t be all work and no fun this month—you will have plenty of time for friends after the new moon on March 21 when the new moon will be in Aries, your eleventh house of happiness, joy, and friendship. Jupiter will see to it that you expand your circle quickly to include new faces and that present friends will reconnect with you as well. This will open quite a social season for you, and it appears many of your new pals and acquaintances will likely be self-employed and give you insights on how to follow your dreams. New friends will inspire you and show you that no idea is too big to tackle. It’s a thrilling trend.
Will you encounter a spectacular date to put a gold star on for fun with friends before the new moon on March 21? Yes, one of the best of the year! This aspect comes once a year. On March 1 and 2, when Venus and Jupiter will conjoin—this time in Aries—bringing love, laughter, luxury, and pure enjoyment. This energy will spill into the weekend of March 4 and 5, too. This conjunction of two lovebird planets will help you realize that golden days can show up on what you assume would be an ordinary day but turns out to be much more bewitching.
Your other spectacular day will be Monday, March 27, when your ruler Mercury will conjoin Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, both in Aries. Wishes can come true, dear Gemini, and this date will prove this to you.
