Aries
While it’s the end of the solar year for you (until March 20th), dear Aries, and this generally signals a period in which you are in the relative backwoods and possibly dealing with endings in your life, there is nevertheless much to be excited about in March. Uranus gets you all riled up and itching to make radical changes. You are building and strengthening your courage. The 10th is strong for romance and friendship. You can charm the birds out of the trees on the 16-17th, and you’ll be filled with wonderful (and possibly marketable) ideas. The 21st brings the gumption to jump-start the changes you’ve only been dreaming about. Life is certainly looking up! However, you may struggle with people or situations from your past around the 2-3.
