You are particularly personally charming in a spontaneous, natural way during this solar cycle. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. It's a good time for recreation, romance, connecting with children, and enjoying and performing the arts. Your ego is tied up in your children, romantic relationships, and creative output now, so that you can be especially proud of these people and things. You can also be over-sensitive about these matters if you feel you are not getting enough appreciation.

From March 20th forward:The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It's a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now. It's time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.

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 fifth house, suggesting a new approach to love, children, or creative projects. A new set-up in existing love affairs or a new love affair altogether may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to express yourself spontaneously and creatively. This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of your need for fun and leisure activities.

Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.

This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar twelfth house. Surprises surrounding the compassionate care and attention you give others, as well as the work and service you render, may be 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 sectors of self-undoing, privacy, and dreams is involved. This could manifest, for example, as a situation that tests your faith and compassion, a culmination or fruition of a service you render, an event that calls on your urge for privacy and reflection, and other such possibilities. Finding a balance between practical concerns and spiritual or non-material matters is what this Lunar Eclipse is about for you.

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

Until March 12th:

Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house now. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.

From March 12th forward:

Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem--in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until March 5th:

Mercury continues to transit your solar fourth house. Your thoughts tend to revolve around personal matters, especially family, home, and domestic issues. You enjoy, more than usual, discussions and stories about the past and about family. You are more rational and objective when it comes to your relationships with those close to you, so it is, in fact, a good time to open up discussions with family. There can be increased activities in and around the home during this cycle. You are not as interested in worldly matters and career as you are in your personal life for the time being.

From March 5-21:

Mercury transits your solar fifth house. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong. Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.

From March 21st forward:

Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills. Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now. You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until March 6th:

Mars continues to activate your solar first house, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general. This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and to take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive. You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.

From March 6th forward:

Mars energizes your solar second house. You have more energy at your disposal to make money, but also to defend your values. This can be a very resourceful time, when you make the most of what you have. You have much energy for new money-making projects, or for stepping up existing ones. You may be over-identifying with what you have and own, and you could be trying to prove yourself (your worth) to others using money and possessions as the means to do so. If conflicts occur during this transit, they are likely to be over issues of ownership. This is a time when impulse buying is at a peak. You probably should avoid using credit right now, simply because your spending habits may be excessive and impulsive.

Overview Horoscope:

By the 6th, Mars moves out of your sign and into your resources sector. Due to an upcoming retrograde, Mars will actually return to your sign and you get a chance to go over recently made plans. For now, you're moving on and forward, and your desire to take charge of your finances strengthens. You can be a little tough with yourself when it comes to making money, and perhaps a little tough on others if you're not feeling valued. You're also quite motivated to work harder for your money.

The Solar Eclipse on the 8th may clear the path for a new start in a romance or a creative project, and possibly even a new creative field. You are making big decisions about recreation, hobbies, love, and children now. The 10th and then the 19-21 are especially strong for all of these matters. Listen to your intuition, and don't be afraid to strut your stuff, put your work on display, share your ideas, and connect with people you want to spend time with. Personal magnetism is wonderful this month, and especially around these dates.

Jupiter's presence in your social sector has been good for your social life in general, and since October, you've benefited from a Jupiter-Pluto trine, which peaks again now (in mid-March). This is a good time for building a following for your ideas or your work. You can be feeling especially confident about what you have to offer others and the community, and put more faith in your own goals and dreams. You may be taking the lead in a group or people may be looking to you for guidance. New people coming into your life could inspire you to make important changes and improvements. If you've been overdoing your attention to friendships and your social life, or taking on far too many projects, Jupiter's challenging aspects to Uranus and Saturn this month will help you get back on track. Be sure that work and health matters get their due attention. Do a reality check with money and resources before putting more of these things into new projects.

The Lunar Eclipse on the 23rd can serve as a wake-up call if you've been neglecting self-care. Mental and emotional health need attention. If you don't feel up to par, it may be that you're overextended. You'll be faced with the need to slow down now. You might also need to bring closure to a neglected or unresolved issue in your life. By the 24-26, you'll be in the know, and ready to share the load in order to really get things done.

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

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

All month: The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors! You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year. This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.

This is a period of recharge, of getting in touch with your innermost feelings, of connecting with your roots, and of spending more time and energy on home and family. Home and family matters capture your attention and are a strong source of pride now. It's a time when worldly matters are not as important to you.

If you've been overdoing your attention to friendships and your social life, or taking on far too many projects, Jupiter's challenging aspects to Uranus and Saturn this month will help you get back on track. Be sure that work and health matters get their due attention. Do a reality check with money and resources before putting more of these things into new projects.

The Lunar Eclipse on the 23rd can serve as a wake-up call if you've been neglecting self-care. Mental and emotional health need attention. If you don't feel up to par, it may be that you're overextended. You'll be faced with the need to slow down now. You might also need to bring closure to a neglected or unresolved issue in your life. By the 24-26, you'll be in the know, and ready to share the load in order to really get things done.
