Leo Monthly Horoscope March 2018

Leo (Born July 23 to August 2)
AND Leo Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Leo:

March 2018 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until March 20th:

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 20th 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. 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.

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

Until the 6th: 

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 6th 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 the 6th:

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 6th 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.

Mercury is retrograde from March 22nd to April 15th:

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of personal finances, as well as communications with friends or groups, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Major financial initiatives should be avoided. Remember that friends don't mean what they say and don't say what they mean, and take what you hear with a grain of salt. Group meetings may be delayed or cancelled.

Occurring in your solar ninth house this time, extra care should be exercised regarding travel or education plans. Delays or complications are very possible in these areas. Go over applications carefully before submitting them and make sure you understand instructions clearly. Expressing your opinions now might come across in entirely the wrong way. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with professors and lawyers as well; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until March 17th:

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 17th 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.

Overview Horoscope:

Leo Monthly Horoscope for March 2018: March begins with a Full Moon and a call to manage your money, resources, and talents, dear Leo. While emotions run high around the time of a Full Moon, they can prompt the formulation of a new plan for improving your life. If you've been undervaluing your contributions, whether to work or a relationship, this is a time for recognizing and affirming your worth, value, and capabilities.

Even so, a broader theme of March involves developing and building your close relationships. Strong cosmic activity in your intimacy sector encourages you to work on power dynamics and sharing in a relationship. Of course, getting to know your own capabilities, limits, and worth is a healthy part of any exploration of dependencies on others or outside sources, and this is what this Full Moon is about for you.

The 3-5 brings an exceptional focus on your solar eighth house, and you get the chance to dig deep and get to the heart of a relationship or private matter. This is a time for emotional repair, healing, and deep understanding, or at the least, the first steps towards these things. You're learning what and who you value. Emotional honesty is essential now, and you're courageous in the face of discoveries, even if they seem to touch on a soft spot. Yearnings can come into full force now with the Sun's spotlight on Neptune in your eighth house, as well as clear opportunities emerging to talk and think about them or otherwise make sense of things. There can be questions of boundaries in your relations with others, and possibly some confusion over shared resources or financial transactions. Be a little more vigilant if you're dealing with these matters, since you're inclined to see what you want to see when you're personally invested.

The 6th brings both Mercury and Venus into harmony with your sign and into your sector of spirit and adventure, easing flow of expression. The Sun will enter this house of your solar chart on the 20th, and as March progresses, your personality opens up to the rest of the world and new experiences more and more. This is a brilliant time for reaching out beyond your usual routines and exploring new ideas, activities, and places. It's a great time to learn, teach, and share thoughts. Publishing, higher education, and journeys are highlighted now.

Throughout March, there are tense aspects to bodies in your solar ninth house from Saturn, Pluto, and later, Mars, in your work and health sector. This suggests some battle or innerly-conflicted moments between your need to explore, learn, and enjoy some measure of freedom or freeform activity, and your ambitions to take care of business, work, routines, and health. You'll be best off finding a balance between these two genuine drives and avoid pressuring yourself to do more than is feasible and healthy. As well, Mercury turns retrograde in your solar ninth house on the 22nd, pointing to the need to slow down and reconsider some elements of your plans, programs, or ideas.

Jupiter has been bringing an exceptionally positive vibe to your domestic projects and home life since October and will continue to do so until November. On March 9th, Jupiter begins its four-month retrograde cycle, signaling the need to reassess matters, slow down if you've been overreaching, and perhaps make some refinements and tweaks to your plans. Any slowdowns encountered now offer you the chance to look at your plans from a different perspective so that you can, at a later date, move forward with them with more confidence. Excesses in your domestic life can be recognized and cut down during this opportunity period. Brand new initiatives or launches may fare better when Jupiter is direct from July forward.

The New Moon on the 17th can bring the chance to start fresh in an intimate relationship, with financial or emotional support, or on a self-empowerment initiative. On the same date, Mars enters your sector of work, health, and routine, and during this two-month transit, you'll want to take action on these matters. It's a strong period for applying extra energy or muscle to your work and working environment, self-care programs, and health initiatives. It can be an active time for stepping up your work and service efforts, pursuing increased wellness, and organizing your daily affairs. Mars knows what it wants and can be bossy, especially in the sign of Capricorn, and while this can be helpful in moderation, you may want to watch for impatience in your work and fitness endeavors and disagreements with people you work with.

The Sun's entry into your adventure sector on the 20th feels fresh and motivating. You're inclined to seek out new or renewed learning experiences and detours from the usual routine. You're seeking inspiration and very likely to find it. You may very well inspire others along the way! Mercury's retrograde turn on the 23rd may seem to slow you down, but in fact, helps you pace yourself.

The Full Moon on the last day of the month brings your attention back to home, your neighborhood, those close to you, and your daily affairs. It's a call to take care of the details of your life, and it's also a reminder to stay involved and up to date with the people and current news in your personal life, even as you venture out and about.

Leo (Born August 3 to 12)
AND Leo Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Leo:

March 2018 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

All month:

The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.

All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets.

This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

Leo (Born August 13 to 22)
AND Leo Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Leo:

March 2018 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until March 10th:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar seventh house--your partnership sector. This can be a time of much learning through the mirror of close relationships. It's not the time to push your agenda or personal plans forward; rather, it's a cycle in which you are at your best when you recognize the need to form alliances, to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some balance in your life.

It's a strong period for putting yourself into another person's shoes and to better understand him/her. You may be meeting with someone strong and assertive by nature now, or a partner is more assertive and needy of attention. There may be some competitive feelings between you and a significant other now. Focus is on reconciliation, forming or cementing bonds, diplomacy, consultation, one-on-one interactions, and negotiations. You may feel a little drained physically now, temporarily.

From March 10th forward:

The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.

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

Until March 23rd: 

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 23rd 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

This month: 

Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.

Research is also highly favored. It's easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.

Mercury is retrograde from March 22nd to April 15th:

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of personal finances, as well as communications with friends or groups, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Major financial initiatives should be avoided. Remember that friends don't mean what they say and don't say what they mean, and take what you hear with a grain of salt. Group meetings may be delayed or cancelled.

Occurring in your solar eighth house this time, extra care should be exercised regarding any financial initiatives that involve shared resources. Delays are very possible when it comes to receiving support, loans, and taxes. It may be better to side-step arguments with loved ones that revolve around intimacy and sexuality just for now, or approach these matters with more sensitivity if they can't be left for a better time. Investments made now may not go the way you want them to, particularly those involving joint finances. It may be hard to rely on the input of your partner now, and money you were counting on may not be forthcoming. It's best to budget rather than spend during this period, and in fact it's an excellent period for review. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with financial officials and intimate partners; or take this time to re- examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars animates and energizes your solar fifth house. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic. You have a likeably competitive, more energetic, and pleasingly assertive temperament during this transit. However, in some cases, you may be coming on too strong or aggressively, or meeting with aggressiveness in romantic relationships.

Overview Horoscope:

You'll be best off finding a balance between these two genuine drives and avoid pressuring yourself to do more than is feasible and healthy. As well, Mercury turns retrograde in your solar ninth house on the 22nd, pointing to the need to slow down and reconsider some elements of your plans, programs, or ideas.

Jupiter has been bringing an exceptionally positive vibe to your domestic projects and home life since October and will continue to do so until November. On March 9th, Jupiter begins its four-month retrograde cycle, signaling the need to reassess matters, slow down if you've been overreaching, and perhaps make some refinements and tweaks to your plans. Any slowdowns encountered now offer you the chance to look at your plans from a different perspective so that you can, at a later date, move forward with them with more confidence. Excesses in your domestic life can be recognized and cut down during this opportunity period. Brand new initiatives or launches may fare better when Jupiter is direct from July forward.

The New Moon on the 17th can bring the chance to start fresh in an intimate relationship, with financial or emotional support, or on a self-empowerment initiative. On the same date, Mars enters your sector of work, health, and routine, and during this two-month transit, you'll want to take action on these matters. It's a strong period for applying extra energy or muscle to your work and working environment, self-care programs, and health initiatives. It can be an active time for stepping up your work and service efforts, pursuing increased wellness, and organizing your daily affairs. Mars knows what it wants and can be bossy, especially in the sign of Capricorn, and while this can be helpful in moderation, you may want to watch for impatience in your work and fitness endeavors and disagreements with people you work with.

The Sun's entry into your adventure sector on the 20th feels fresh and motivating. You're inclined to seek out new or renewed learning experiences and detours from the usual routine. You're seeking inspiration and very likely to find it. You may very well inspire others along the way! Mercury's retrograde turn on the 23rd may seem to slow you down, but in fact, helps you pace yourself.

The Full Moon on the last day of the month brings your attention back to home, your neighborhood, those close to you, and your daily affairs. It's a call to take care of the details of your life, and it's also a reminder to stay involved and up to date with the people and current news in your personal life, even as you venture out and about.
