Overview for this Month: Cancer (All)

March 2016

March is a month of personal development through learning and experience, dear Cancer. You're looking for inspiration, and likely to find it. There is quite a bit of focus on work, health, and career as well this month. In many ways, it's a month of preparations and adjustments.

From the 6th forward, there can be more demands from your daily life and work. Mars moves into your sector of daily routines, habits, work, and health, stirring up the pot, and will spend more time than usual in this part of your solar chart in months to come due to an upcoming retrograde. Saturn is already here reminding you of your duties. Things can get complicated, but ultimately sorting out your routines will reward you greatly.

The Solar Eclipse on the 8th sends you in new directions. This can be a time when you are thinking of making big changes, such as a new course/line of study or direction. You are more inclined to follow your heart and your passions, although you're likely to have to deal with the mound that's already on your plate and come to some form of compromise in order to get the time to do so. Look for people, places, and ideas to stimulate and inspire you on the 10th and then the 19-21. Personal appeal is wonderful at this time. Travel, adventure, and publishing can be in focus.

Perhaps the biggest challenge of the month is sorting out an overloaded schedule. You are hungry to learn, connect, and explore, but you also have a lot to manage. A Jupiter-Pluto influence that has been with you to some degree since October returns strongly mid-month, pointing to real rewards in the areas of learning and connecting. There can be a motivating, supportive meeting of minds with a partner. You might be the go-to person for information and know-how. Some of you could meet someone special through the phone, online, at school, or possibly in your own neighborhood. You could find motivation to pursue a dream project. Transportation and communication opportunities can open up. Even so, Jupiter-Saturn and Jupiter-Uranus challenges can remind you of the limits of time and energy - you'll need to find a balance and do some simplifying or you'll end up feeling drained and pulled in too many directions. If you've taken on too many personal projects or interests, you could find that this impacts your attention to responsibilities or professional goals. Look for ways to divide your attention in a more balanced way, even if this means cutting back on certain activities. Otherwise, the activities that you enjoy most can eventually feel burdensome.

Any problems brewing in your domestic or personal life can reach a head around the Lunar Eclipse on the 23rd. This can be experienced as a cosmic push for you to make changes in order to bring your life back into balance, particularly if you've been putting too much of yourself into your work and responsibilities. You'll be reorganizing your priorities now - a repeating theme in March! Some of you could make a final decision about a move or career change. The last week of March can be strong for recognition of your talents and hard work.

March 2016 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

March 2016

 

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until March 20th:

The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar ninth house now. This is a cycle in which you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines. You may feel a little restless if you don't find ways to explore. It's an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective--a broader one--whether you initiate this process or you make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently. Your energy is strong, open, and friendly right now, you come across well to others, and you are a little bolder and adventurous than usual.

From March 20th forward:

The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your "place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle. You want to shine. Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.

Eclipses

A Solar Eclipse Occurs on March 8th:

A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.

The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar ninth house, suggesting that a new approach to the way you expand your horizons, be they physical or mental (or both). New travel plans, education goals, or adventures may be formed in the coming months, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to expand your personal world is a strong potential. This is a phase when you will be especially busy initiating new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.

A Lunar Eclipse Occurs on March 23rd:

A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.

This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar fourth house. Surprises surrounding your home, family, and domestic life are in store. Something that has been in hiding or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of house and home, property, family, parents, and foundations is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination of a project on the home, an event involving a family member or parent that grabs your complete attention, a flurry of activity in your home that demands attention, and other such possibilities.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until March 12th:

Venus continues to move through your solar eighth house during this period. You are attracted to the deeper elements of relationships and social interactions now, rather than what you meet on the surface. Mysteries fascinate you and you could be looking for others' motives for doing and saying what they do. It's a good time to feel supported by others, whether it's financially or emotionally. It's also a strong cycle for discovering your own hidden talents as well as fascinating things about a partner.

From March 12th forward:

Venus graces your solar ninth house during this period. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don't seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous when it comes to love. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn't consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life--who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until March 5th:

Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income. You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don't verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.

From March 5-21:

Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture. You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.

From March 21st forward:

Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now. Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies. You may be turned to for advice or for your opinion on important matters. Although approachable and ready to communicate, you are less inclined towards chatting about frivolous matters now. You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until March 6th:

Mars continues to energize your solar fifth house. This brings increased energy and enthusiasm to romance, child-rearing, and creative or recreational endeavors. It can also bring some strife to these areas of your world in some cases. For the most part, however, a romance could pick up pace, you are self-motivated and inspired on creative and expressive levels, and your self-confidence is well-received by others during this cycle. You are more willing to take little risks and you are competitive in a mostly friendly way. In your enthusiasm to take the lead, try to be sensitive to and respectful of others' needs.

From March 6th forward:

Mars animates and energizes your solar sixth house. You have more energy for work and your daily routines tend to speed up during this transit. Perhaps you have a larger workload than usual. It's a great time to take charge of your health. You have much energy at your disposal to pick up (or step up) a health and physical activity program. It might be hard for you to work with others in a harmonious manner during this transit, and disputes with co-workers are possible. If you are feeling especially angry, frustrated, or restless, it would be wise to find little projects and things to do so that you can channel excess energy constructively. If health is affected, fevers or infections are more likely.

March 2016 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

March 2016

 

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

All month:

This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details.

March 2016 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

March 2016

 

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until March 10th:

The Sun continues to highlight your solar eighth house. Your attention turns inward, as well as to close personal relationships on a deeper level. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other's money, such as the resources of a partner, inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes. You are more intense in your mood and disposition, and perhaps even secretive, at this time of year. You are more in touch with the deeper and even primal elements of your own personality, and more able to see these things in others. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.

From March 10th forward:

This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months.

This eclipse occurs in your solar eighth house, suggesting a new approach to the way you share money and resources or get along with a close partner on an intimate level. New intimate liaisons or arrangements surrounding support from others (loans, joint finances, alimony, and so forth) may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to employ self-mastery skills. This is a phase when you will be especially busy initiating new projects or activities that increase your resources. You may experience increased awareness of others�what makes them tick�as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.

Until March 4th:Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector. Meaningful and harmonious relationships--both social and romantic--define you during this cycle, affecting your mind, body, and soul. Financial or social success may come to or through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery works to your advantage! Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It's not about you right now--it's about someone else close. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.

From March 4-28:

Venus graces your solar eighth house now. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.

From March 28th forward:

Venus graces your solar ninth house during this period. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don't seem to satisfy.

A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn't consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life--who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until March 16th:

Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income. You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don't verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.

From March 16th forward:

Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture. You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to energize your solar fifth house. This brings increased energy and enthusiasm to romance, child-rearing, and creative or recreational endeavors. It can also bring some strife to these areas of your world in some cases. For the most part, however, a romance could pick up pace, you are self-motivated and inspired on creative and expressive levels, and your self-confidence is well-received by others during this cycle. You are more willing to take little risks and you are competitive in a mostly friendly way. In your enthusiasm to take the lead, try to be sensitive to and respectful of others' needs.

Overview Horoscope:

March is a month of personal development through learning and experience, dear Cancer. You're looking for inspiration, and likely to find it. There is quite a bit of focus on work, health, and career as well this month. In many ways, it's a month of preparations and adjustments.

From the 6th forward, there can be more demands from your daily life and work. Mars moves into your sector of daily routines, habits, work, and health, stirring up the pot, and will spend more time than usual in this part of your solar chart in months to come due to an upcoming retrograde. Saturn is already here reminding you of your duties. Things can get complicated, but ultimately sorting out your routines will reward you greatly.

The Solar Eclipse on the 8th sends you in new directions. This can be a time when you are thinking of making big changes, such as a new course/line of study or direction. You are more inclined to follow your heart and your passions, although you're likely to have to deal with the mound that's already on your plate and come to some form of compromise in order to get the time to do so. Look for people, places, and ideas to stimulate and inspire you on the 10th and then the 19-21. Personal appeal is wonderful at this time. Travel, adventure, and publishing can be in focus.

Perhaps the biggest challenge of the month is sorting out an overloaded schedule. You are hungry to learn, connect, and explore, but you also have a lot to manage. A Jupiter-Pluto influence that has been with you to some degree since October returns strongly mid-month, pointing to real rewards in the areas of learning and connecting. There can be a motivating, supportive meeting of minds with a partner. You might be the go-to person for information and know-how. Some of you could meet someone special through the phone, online, at school, or possibly in your own neighborhood. You could find motivation to pursue a dream project. Transportation and communication opportunities can open up. Even so, Jupiter-Saturn and Jupiter-Uranus challenges can remind you of the limits of time and energy - you'll need to find a balance and do some simplifying or you'll end up feeling drained and pulled in too many directions. If you've taken on too many personal projects or interests, you could find that this impacts your attention to responsibilities or professional goals. Look for ways to divide your attention in a more balanced way, even if this means cutting back on certain activities. Otherwise, the activities that you enjoy most can eventually feel burdensome.

Any problems brewing in your domestic or personal life can reach a head around the Lunar Eclipse on the 23rd. This can be experienced as a cosmic push for you to make changes in order to bring your life back into balance, particularly if you've been putting too much of yourself into your work and responsibilities. You'll be reorganizing your priorities now - a repeating theme in March! Some of you could make a final decision about a move or career change. The last week of March can be strong for recognition of your talents and hard work.

About  Our Monthly Horoscopes:

Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from a previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July's horoscope. This is normal and expected. Transits don't suddenly change as the calendar month changes.

These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.

The Lunar Cycles section reveal lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as "Your Personal New Moon" and "Monthly career peak" repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.

The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts, and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes, simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
