Aries
If you were a cooler, you’d be the busted out Bee Brand relic from the 1980s that my neighbor dumped in our alley last summer. Why? Because your chill is gone. It has evaporated, and it took a tiny piece of your sanity with it.
This month, you bring it back. Aries natives who have been feeling frazzled will be pleased to know that opportunities to relax are around the corner in March. This is your time to fold out the lawn chair, lean back, and enjoy a little dream time. If you’re able to take some time away from your obligations, do it.
If not, work on fine-tuning your routines so that you can squeeze out an ounce or two of tranquility. By the end of the month, you’ll be better equipped to handle the busy year ahead. Is a mind-expanding project on the horizon? Starting in on that would be a great way to end your March.

Taurus
You know what they say. Playing things too safe is the most popular way to fail. As a Taurus, you might be hesitant to take a risk. But if you do it this month, it may pay off tenfold. Take the time to work on creative projects and express your authentic self.
In doing so, look outward. Can your projects connect other people? The stars invite you to prioritize improving the world around you while you enjoy your creative boost.
Opportunities to connect also abound this month. If communication has been difficult lately, it should smooth out soon. You’ll find more opportunities to connect with others, though you should be sure not to overdo it. You may want to step away to recharge late in the month.

Gemini
Sometimes instead of jumping on the couch like a normal member of her species, my cat does things her own way. She digs her claws into the side of the couch and pulls herself up inch by inch, unbothered by the scratch marks she’s leaving as she reaches the top of the summit.
That’s you this month, Gemini. You’re making your mark as you climb to the top. This March, the stars shine their light onto your work. Whether you’re in school or have a 9-to-5—or anything in between—you have the opportunity to accomplish something good and grow your reputation.
New ideas will be abundant for Geminis who seek them out, so be sure to keep your Notes app open to jot down your light bulb moments. These may come in handy as you catch people’s attention.
Speaking of attention, you may find yourself drawn to new partnerships, romantic and otherwise. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the whirlwind of new people, but make sure you’re taking care of your old standbys too. Now’s the time to patch up any trouble spots.

Cancer
We have to leave the house sometimes. That means you too, homebody Cancer. This month, the universe wants you to expand. Get up and go for growth. What does that mean to you? The possibility for career momentum colors your March, though that is not the only place where you could see advancement.
Expansion is also a call to adventure. This month is a good one to set a lofty goal, then put a plan in motion. Not everything will happen at once, but if you stretch yourself—and not just on a lounge chair—you could see big results. Just make sure you have a clear idea in mind so that you can go forward with confidence.
Speaking of confidence, Cancers who have felt down lately may feel a surge in energy this March. If you do end up leaving the house, you could attract more attention just for being you. Nice.

Leo
Time for a reality check, Leo. As a charismatic leader with a flair for the theatric, you spend a lot of time on the proverbial stage. But what happens backstage is just as important. This March, it’s time to get your house in order. What do you see when you look inward?
For Leos who have been worried about money matters, March may finally bring an existing financial situation to a head. If you’ve been overspending, it may be time to get on the right track. Even if your bank account has been hunky dory, you may be presented with a challenging financial situation. Be careful with your wallet and you’ll be more likely to come out ahead.
At mid-month, you’ll find yourself looking outward yet again. You may be drawn to new people, new places, new ideas. Let all of these in as you make peace with past situations.

Virgo
March could be an important month for Virgos as old cycles end and new cycles begin. First up, you may be called to finally deal with challenging relationships. Now is the time to be honest. What’s working, and what do you need to let go of?
Apply this question not only to people, but to dynamics. Is there a change you can make to alter the course of a relationship? If you find the need to have tough conversations, make sure you stay authentic to yourself.
Speaking of authenticity, are you living the life you want to live? Many Virgos will feel drawn to making changes in how they present themselves. Don’t be afraid to transform yourself.
This month could also be an exciting time for those who have been working on a long-term project. You could make good progress this month—or even finish it. What comes next for you?

Libra
When the scales tip too far in one or other direction, it’s time to rebalance. That’s what your March is about, Libra. Calm the calamity and get your life in order. That may mean setting up new routines at work, at home, for your health, or in any other area that you’ve been struggling with. Whatever systems are broken, fix them.
It may also be time to set some boundaries. Are there people or things that are asking too much of you right now? It’s OK to say no if you need to. This is especially true for new relationships, which may come to the forefront this month. It’s always exciting to meet new people, but be sure to prioritize yourself.
At work, you may find that previously stalled projects are moving again. Once you get your routine settled, you might be ready to step up into the spotlight. By the end of the month, you should be ready to move forward.

Scorpio
On the playground of life, do you feel like you’ve been on the swings for a little too long? This month, the back-and-forth turns to forward momentum at last for Scorpios who are willing to work for it.
First things first: what are you excited for? Whether it’s silly or serious, embrace it! Follow your whims, and don’t stop until it isn’t fun anymore. Make art. Dance. Mush all the Play-Doh colors together. The universe says “Explore!” and you should listen. What do you have to lose?
Exploration is for all parts of life, even work. This month, you may find yourself excited by new projects, or even a new role. Likewise, a new relationship may begin to bloom. Is there someone you want to get to know better? Now’s the time to make it happen.

Sagittarius
Decisions, decisions. What do you wanna do, Sagittarius? This month, several areas of your life are asking you this question. At home, petty dramas could sprout into bigger arguments. Do your best to head these off before they grow too big. Remember, ignoring issues can lead to resentment later.
Even if there are no knock-down drag-outs among those closest to you, there could still be issues at home. It might be a good idea to do a sweep to make sure everything is in good repair. Make sure your finances are in a good place too.
Decisions may need to be made at work too. Do you want to stay where you are, or is it time to move on? It’s OK to change course, but make sure you have a plan in place. It might be best to wait until the end of the month to take big steps. By that point, things should be more clear.

Capricorn
There’s a lot on your mind this month, Capricorn—and not in a bad way. This March, your usual productivity is turned up, especially when it comes to churning out new ideas. You might have more than a few brilliant light bulb moments this month. When they come, avoid the urge to jot them down and hide them away. Now’s the time to share!
The power of persuasion is in your hands this month. Communication projects have the chance to attract more interest, so be sure to give your projects the attention they deserve. And don’t be afraid to go out of your comfort zone. Off-the-wall ideas could lead to deeper connections.
While your brain will be buzzing, don’t forget to tend to your garden at home. Make a point to connect deeply with your inner circle and to make your surroundings the peaceful sanctuary that you deserve. By the end of the month, you’ll be ready to head home for some much-needed cuddle time.

Aquarius
Careful, Aquarius. Money matters are on the line, and the universe is advising caution. This March, think about your financial safety net. Where can you cut back? Where can you earn more? If a new, lucrative opportunity comes your way, it may be wise to pounce on it. But even if earning more is not on the docket, there may still be ways to save. Watch unnecessary spending.
Not all is doom and gloom, though. Where austerity is advised in matters of the wallet, expansion is possible in your relationships. You could make new inroads in your inner circle this month, especially if you’re willing to get real with deep conversations. Don’t be afraid to ask for advice. Some of these people may end up being good partners for a future project.
By the end of the month, things will look more clear. With effort, a financial plan will help you face the future with optimism.

Pisces
A lovely month is shaping up for Pisces natives. March brings the confidence to take your life into your own hands. Don’t be afraid to initiate. Start a conversation, begin a new project, ask for more. Why not?
On the relationship front, this month may be the time to make a decision. Are you in or out? Don’t be afraid to have difficult conversations, and don’t be afraid to get your needs met. It’s OK to need more. Just make sure you’re clear about voicing your needs.
If you’ve been working on a creative project or getting to the bottom of a relationship issue, you could hit a milestone for it this March. Keep working at it, and things should be more clear by the end of the month.
