March 2024 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

March 2024

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until March 9th:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now.

You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.

From March 10th forward:

The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.

It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.

Eclipses

A Lunar Eclipse occurs on March 25th:

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 sixth house. Surprises surrounding work, working relationships, daily routines, or health issues 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. Flaws come to light and demand a clean-up. This could manifest as, for example, a work project coming to an end or bearing fruit, a surprising announcement on the job, a circumstance that calls for you to support a co-worker, a flurry of activity prompted by the demands of work or for your services, a surprising health matter, and other such possibilities. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you--even if it's a small act of kindness with a co-worker or bringing in something to brighten up your desk or office. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you've been toying with in your mind.

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

From March 3rd to 27th: 

Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.

From March 28th forward: 

Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until the 4th: 

Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas.

Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it's a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.

From March 5th to 21st: 

Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.

This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.

You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.

From March 22nd forward: 

With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.

It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.

This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures.

Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until the 9th:

Mars continues to energize your solar tenth house now. You bring much energy, enthusiasm, and drive to your career or to directing activities in your life during this cycle. You may be quite competitive during this period, preferring to achieve and accomplish things on your own. This attitude can, in some cases, be seen by others as an instigating or otherwise offensive energy, so be aware of that possibility.

This is a strong time for directly pursuing your goals, and, if you need that extra push or oomph to get a plan going, particularly a professional one, or to assert your desires, then this is the time. You are self-motivated, and your enthusiasm can be harnessed if you so choose.

From the 10th forward:

Mars is energizing your solar eleventh house now. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes.

As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

Overview Horoscope:

March 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aries:

You're well-positioned to wind down and tap into your intuition this month, dear Aries. It can be a time to tie up loose ends, deal with endings, bring projects to a close, and catch up on rest. You're segueing from a connected, involved period to a period of retreat and rest. You begin March with the Sun and Mercury in your privacy sector, encouraging you to consider ways to decompress and unwind. Both Venus and Mars check into the same area of your solar chart on the 11th and 22nd, and corresponding life departments require review and reflection.

The 10th brings a New Moon that reinforces your conviction to deal with loose ends and clear a path forward. Consider that you begin a new birthday year on the 19th! Personal new beginnings are in store. Until then, the New Moon can serve as a gentle push to put the past behind you with solid plans, actions, or even symbolic actions. You’re tying up loose ends or dealing with secrets, private matters, and karma. It’s a time to clean the slate, and you get solid support for doing so–you’re likely to feel both inspired and determined.

This month, you can feel especially excited about a behind-the-scenes project, activity, or even relationship. You may be taking an unofficial sabbatical of sorts when it comes to major decisions. While you may not blossom in an apparent sense quite yet, this is an excellent period for preparing yourself for busier times to come. Personal appeal is strong, and creative pursuits can thrive, particularly if you're doing something behind the scenes or on the last stretch of a special project. There is still much going on under the hood this month, and it's important work, as you're laying the groundwork now.

Still, there is a continuing focus on your social life and happiness goals--you can make rich discoveries along these lines. There can be nice developments with friends, groups, and networks.

Something interesting happens after mid-month: the Sun enters your sign on the 19th, awakening you to the start of a new birthday year, but Mars, your energy guide and planetary ruler, tucks into your privacy sector on the 22nd. As such, you're noticeable and connected, starting fresh in some ways, but you still have some processing, resting, and digesting to do before truly beginning anew. Venus, also in your privacy sector during this period, points to the need for more time to yourself and, fortunately, enjoyment and reward in the process.

In truth, at the start of April, Mercury will turn retrograde in your sign, and going slowly, even with the Sun in Aries from the 19th forward signaling the start of your birthday year, makes sense. Some things will need further review.

With assertive, energetic Mars visiting your soul sector from the 22nd on, you'll be reassessing your goals, needs, and desires. It's not the most decisive or energetic of periods in your life, but you find more comfort in private moments and require a little more rest than usual. If you don't recognize this need, there might be circumstances that enforce rest! It's an important cycle for discovering what you truly desire, and which pursuits may be less worthwhile for you. You're getting noticed with the Sun in your sign, but with Mars here, you don't always feel in the loop, but you may very well need a break now.

The Full Moon on the 25th is a Lunar Eclipse and is in your opposite sign, drawing your strong attention to relationships. This eclipse can serve as a cosmic push toward more fully recognizing and connecting with your relationship needs. Tension now can drive you to make important changes. This eclipse is about finding a balance between your autonomy/independence and your need for a perspective, person, or companion. It brings feelings you’ve kept to yourself–or even from yourself–to the surface. Listen to your emotions, but avoid making distracted decisions.
