Your Stellar horoscope for the week is here: Feb 25-Mar 3

In March, events are worth getting excited about.

This month, as Pluto (transformation), Saturn (discipline) and Mars (power) all change signs, a powerful celestial procession is taking place. The “March of destiny” represents a fundamental cosmic energy shift. It’s a chance to take control of the future and lay the foundations for a more purposeful, inspired way of living. Pursuing dreams is scary. But sticking to rigid frames of reference prevents us from embracing opportunities – so ignore the butterflies! In March, events are worth getting excited about.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20)

Shouldn’t you be doing something? Don’t you have tasks that need completing? Duties to attend to? Promises to fulfil? Aren’t people expecting things from you? Of course! Which is why you need to set some boundaries. Next month’s “March of destiny” brings opportunities your way. And you need to create the space to welcome them into your life. In March, although you can’t just shirk your commitments, you can reset everyone’s expectations. If not, you risk missing your chance to take advantage of the cosmic gifts coming your way.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20)

Has anyone told you how wonderful you are lately? Have you been the beneficiary of lavish gestures? With Venus in your sign at the start of the month, your romantic prospects are promising and your financial prospects are good. Add the “March of destiny” to the mix, and your outlook looks highly auspicious. With the knowledge that you’re being protected by a kind cosmos, although you can’t expect all your dreams to come true, don’t rule out the chance of some of them coming to fruition.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21)

You know the feeling when you’ve settled down to watch a film or a TV show and you realise that you’ve seen it before? Unless it was spectacular, you’re likely to find something else to watch. Sadly, we don’t find it so easy to switch off the thought patterns that repeat in our minds. The same old movies play in our heads. We live out the same fantasies in our dreams. Which is why the change ushered in by the “March of destiny” is so precious. The courage and ability to move on from tired ways of thinking is priceless. Set your sights high.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 22)

The search for perfection is bound to lead to disappointment. Or so it seems – some people believe that even though everything has its drawbacks, the shortcomings, in their own way, are perfect. Or they would be if we knew how to see them from an enlightened perspective. Although things in your world might not be perfect in March, they will certainly improve. If you want to maximise the astrological blessings coming your way, don’t focus on the inevitable. Set your sights on what’s hopeful; you won’t be disappointed.

CANCER (June 23 - July 23)

There will be less uncertainty in March, less need to worry about what you “should” be doing, and less hesitation about the direction you’re heading towards. What’s going to replace it? More enthusiasm and more motivation. Fresh ideas. Surprising opportunities. Chances to make progress with plans that seem stuck. Better support. And better connections with your associates and loved ones. All you really need to remember in March is that trouble lies behind you, not ahead. The new month brings evidence for you to be hopeful.

LEO (July 24 - August 23)

March will be a month of revelation. It brings a series of events that will change the way you view your world. Which doesn’t mean you’ll find yourself in new territory; it’s more that you’ll be able to see opportunities you haven’t previously been in a position to recognise. As the month progresses you’ll gain understanding about people you care about. You’ll have insight into how you can be more fulfilled and more financially secure. Don’t feel bad if you see things for the first time that you could have seen earlier. No regrets! Just be glad, and embrace it all.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23)

The difference between success and failure might seem obvious. Some people show all the signs of being successful, but suffer from low self-esteem. While others haven’t done much to take notice of, but can’t stop talking about how great they are. There are times when we think we’ve done well, but later realise that we missed the point. And other times when we think we’ve failed, and later appreciate the value of the experience. This month, if you set aside previous judgments about how well you’re doing, success will be yours.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23)

You could look at what’s going on in your life and conclude that things need to change. Or, you could look at it and decide that it’s perfect. What does this tell you? It tells you about opinions and expectations. Which is helpful, because it’s much easier to change an attitude than to change a situation. If you’re prepared to seek inner guidance, strength and inspiration, the “March of destiny” will guide you towards fulfilling your deepest needs in March. Your task is to be sensitive to your heart’s desires. The power is in your hands.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22)

You’d like a certain situation to improve. The problem is that the more you think about it, the more complex it gets. In March, rather than waiting for a wand to appear out of nowhere, why not see how much magic you already have at your disposal? The “March of destiny” brings a sprinkling of fairy dust and a boost of positivity. With so much celestial support available, if you invest time in this problem, you’ll find simple solutions to the complications. It’s going to be easier to sort out than you think.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21)

Although they say that familiarity breeds contempt, it’s also true that it nurtures friendship. We like what we know. Sometimes, the connection with someone we’re close to stops us from seeing their shortcomings. Conversely, an issue we find challenging in a stranger can be overlooked in a loved one. Furthermore, we might dislike something in a new environment that we don’t even notice in our present surroundings. In March, consider the obvious. Something (or someone) has much more potential than you realise. Act on this, and you can transform your world.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20)

You like to think of yourself as the kind of person who forgives most people for most things. Even if you feel cross, you find ways to be reasonable. Yet every now and then something either really irritates you, or totally inspires you. The new month raises your determination levels to new heights. This is not a time for self-doubt. Nor is it necessary to try to suppress your feelings – trust them, and follow them. The “March of destiny” enables you to balance your passion with your motivation to get what you want.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19)

There’s a saying from the north of England: where there’s muck, there’s brass. It means that there’s money to be made doing jobs that other people find distasteful or dirty. It seems to you as if the only way to achieve what you desire is by doing something disagreeable, and sometimes we have to dig around in difficult environments to find the buried treasure. The “March of destiny” provides you with both the tools you need and the determination required. With a little effort this month, you can find something you’ve been yearning for.
