March Astrology Highlights –
“Dancing with the Stars”
By Janis Page c2010
The spring equinox month of March begins by the speedy messenger planet of communication, Mercury, entering Pisces on March 1st. Mercury joins the Sun, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus, now giving us five planets in the watery mutable sign. Idealism, compassion, emotion and confusion abound! Almost immediately, on March 3rd Venus conjuncts Uranus, triggering surprises, magnetism, breakthroughs, sudden intuition, love at first sight.
But you knew things weren’t quite that easy, didn’t you? Have you noticed frustrations, blockages and delays, and stress in relationships? Our two retrograde planets, the heavies Mars and Saturn, continue to trudge slowly backwards locked in a sixty degree sextile of opportunity, which now Mercury as the last of the Pisces planets takes its turn activating a stressful yod, or ‘finger of God’ aspect. Yods gently – okay, make that relentlessly demand awareness and adaptation. Hurry up and wait! One foot on the gas, the other on the brakes!
Venus enters impulsive Aries on the 7th, and quickly opposes serious Saturn on the 9th, calling for a sense of patience and responsibility – and Aries is not known for patience, shall we say? The key phrase for Aries is ‘ready, fire, aim!’ But things might be feeling pretty intense around then, especially as on March 10th, fiery Mars in fiery Leo, finally comes to a full halt finishing its retrograde movement, to slowly resume forward, direct motion. Mars has been retrograde (Rx) since December 20th, and finally, much that has been held in frustration and delay will start to release and open. Those of you who keep asking (and you know who you are) yes, it will finally be ok to have first sex in a relationship, which is considered best to avoid during Mars Rx. I’d give Mars a few days to start to build momentum, though, and it won’t be fully out of its ‘shadow’ – the degree at which it turned Rx – till mid-May. But yes, after the 10th, frolic on!
Don’t forget that daylight savings time begins on Sunday, March 14th - spring is near at hand! The new Moon on March 15th brings our planet in Pisces count back up to five, with the Moon joining the Sun, Mercury, all in a close conjunction, and Jupiter not far behind. Here is a time for compassion, sensitivity, spiritual seeking. Then Mercury enters Aries on the 17th and quickly trines Mars and opposes Saturn. Watch out for arguments and resistance.
This new Moon sets the foundational energies for the spring equinox on Saturday, March 20th at 10:32am. The equinox chart shows a lot of motivation and possible discipline (and frustration and impatience) with the Sun trining Mars but also closely opposing Saturn, both squaring powerful Pluto in Capricorn. Be smart, be efficient, be organized, be prepared for your patience to be tested. And watch more power plays unfold on the national and international stage as well as around you. The equinox chart for Denver has the uranian transneptunian Hades smack on the ascendant. Ashes to ashes, some things will break down, time to release what has outlived its usefulness… acceptance…
The full Moon on March 29th has the Sun in Aries opposing Moon in Libra, past Saturn in that sign, still close enough to the square to Pluto to pay attention. This is softened by Pisces Venus in sweet sextile to Neptune conjunct Chiron. There is idealism, the possibility of romantic longing, and some spark with Chiron involved.
March is a month with a lot of both water and fire, and opportunity to practice greater balance and harmony between inner feeling and outer expression. Have a beautiful, spring awakening, as the light and so consciousness continues to rise. Blessings!

About Janis:
Janis is extremely psychic and works with 5 Angelic Mentors as a spiritual counselor and practical mystic. She also does distance healing and clearing.
As a teacher, spiritual counselor and astrologer for several decades, my traditional astrological background includes dial and asteroid study with Martha Lang-Wescott, and beginning tutoring in Uranian astrology with Ruth Brummund. I have given presentations on the planetary archetypes and music at Don Campbell's Mystery School as part of his teaching staff, and also to ROMA (Rocky Mountain Astrologers), the Colorado Federation of Astrologers, and the Colorado Jung Society.
My non-traditional astrological explorations include studying Tibetan astrology at the Tibetan Institute of Medicine and Astrology (Men-Tsee-Khan) in Dharamsala, India, and receiving initiation and studying its astrologically related and derived Kalachakra Tantra. As part of my interest in experiential and manifested astrological applications, I have also learned to do the Sufi dervish spins and walks of the planets from Sufi teachers Wali Ali and Pir Shabda Kahn.
I have many years study and experiential work in Native American, Tibetan Buddhist, and Jungian studies and dream work, including many years study with several shamans from different traditional backgrounds and lineages. There I have studied healing, oracle, energy studies, psychic imagery, Peruvian toning, universal laws and principles, and more. Using a meditation technique I call "direct inquiry" I have engaged with archetypal energies of the elements, planets, stars, and even a black hole. They are not accustomed to being "invited to tea" and are most intriguing and gracious guests!
In addition to my love of "dancing with the archetypes" of the planetary beings, I take a practical mystic and compassionate intuitive approach to my astrology readings as a means of spiritual counseling. I see a chart as "the blueprint to the soul's growth", and humorously, as "the contract in your lifetime orientation packet", providing keys of understanding in how to integrate and balance Essence, ego and mind in one's life and path. I have done astrological readings for people on every continent except Africa ~ yes, even Antarctica... I also teach astrology classes in asteroids, the uranian transneptunians, and the 90 degree dial.
I love to travel, and have taken spiritual journeys to India, Peru, Australia, Japan, Venezuela, and Greece. My travels support my Essence recall, as I take a multicultural as well as multi- and interdimensional approach to my life and work.
