Emotions are going to rule this month.

We have Eclipse — Lunar eclipse in Hasta, Moon’s nakshatra.

At the start of the month, Ketu enters Hasta nakshatra after almost 8 months in Chitra nakshatra.

A shift from fiery Mars to watery Moon.

We still have the Sun, Mercury close to Saturn at the start of the month.

The most active signs in March are Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, and Aries.

All the inner planets — Mercury, Venus, Sun, and Mars will change their sign.

On a positive note, there is elemental balance. Planets are distributed well in each element, Fire-Earth-Air, and Water

Also, the Moon is the 11th lord for the Virgo sign. Any unwanted or forced change is for our ultimate growth in life.

Aries Jupiter is the 8th to Virgo Lunar eclipse to bring some positive changes.

Numerologically March has the energy of benefic Jupiter and number 3, which is the 1st group number.

It encourages teamwork, working with one another, and cooperation.

Number 3 and Jupiter, governs good fortune, wealth, success, gives optimism, enhances joy, and a positive spirit in us.

The optimism and wisdom of Jupiter will be very helpful in handling both — Ketu in Hasta and Lunar Eclipse in Hasta.

Interestingly we have Jupiter in Virgo navamsa till 17th March…

Jupiter and its signification can be a savior here to ease any tough emotional cleansing during the eclipse.

The energy of Jupiter is expansive and healing. Use these qualities in any challenging situation.

With Ketu in Hasta on 5th March — Rahu Ketu will shift to Capricorn -Cancer Navamsa.

In Capricorn navamsa, Rahu may enhance ambition and drive for material success.

There can be a strong desire for status, recognition, and authority in the work area.

And Ketu in Cancer Navamsa can increase our sensitivity, and bring up some unresolved emotional issues, even confusion on what to let go…

It’s necessary to cultivate self-awareness, emotional flexibility, and a balanced approach to both material and emotional aspects of life.

Rahu is in Pisces — in Revati, Mercury’s nakshatra since 30th Oct’ 22

This is the 1st time after that transit we have Mercury making a connection with Rahu on 7th Mar, when Mercury will enter Pisces.

Mercury will also be retro during this transit which makes this an important connection.

Mercury will conjunct Rahu 3 times during its retrogression. Now we can expect major results of Rahu in Pisces and in Revati nak.

Also, on the same day on 7th March Venus will enter Aquarius and join Saturn there.

Venus in Aquarius values individuality, freedom, open-minded approach, and shared ideals, rather than traditional roles or expectations.

This applies to relationships, finances, and our approach to having comfort in life.

This may come with some disappointment as Venus is heading towards Saturn.

And on 9th Mar Saturn will be in Pisces Navamsa. We already have Pluto in Pisces’ navamsa.

Saturn’s influence on Pisces Navamsa can give us some hard reality checks.

It can encourage us to work on the fear of letting go and heal deep-seated emotional wounds, and our insecurities.

Saturn’s disciplined approach encourages us to face challenges head-on and gain emotional balance.

The Aquarius new moon of 10th Mar can help us have a new perspective towards life.

It’s in Purvabhadrapada nak, Jupiter’s nak. It’s a time for planting seeds of change, making new connections, keeping in mind your future and also everyone’s interest.

Then on 14th Mar Sun will enter Pisces … see, all the Pisces energy here…Pisces is a water sign known for its deep emotional sensitivity, healing, charity, and letting go.

When the Sun is in Pisces, there’s an increased awareness of all these at a soul level.

Naturally, we may feel more empathetic, compassionate, and attuned to the needs of others.

Now we have Sun, Mercury, and Rahu together in Pisces.

But the energies will change with Mars in Aquarius on 15th Mar which brings a unique blend of assertive and innovative energies.

Mars will join Venus and Saturn. The hard work of Capricorn Mars will now materialize in progressive action.

Expect boldness, a rebel approach against any restrictions, and conflict for human rights to express new ideas.

To help us a way out and reach a solution here, on 17th Mar Jupiter will be in Libra Navamsa –

Expect everyone to encourage harmonious and balanced relationships with justice, fairness, and diplomacy.

It encourages us to look for mutual understanding in our interactions with others, in both personal and professional domains.

Then we have the 1st conjunction of Mercury and Rahu on 19th Mar in Pisces.

Expect significant amplification of overthinking, emotional sensitivity, illusion, or even some vivid dreams.

It’s necessary to be grounded, and stay focused with complete awareness of the situation.

Then on 21st Mar, we have Venus and Saturn Conjunction @ 18° in Aquarius Saturn’s mool trikon sign.

If taken in the right spirit then, it can bring a sense of commitment, stable finance, and practicality in relationships.

Certainly, there can be boundaries, and restrictions but for long-term good.

We shall have clarity and reality on the surface when on 22nd Mar Neptune will re-enter Uttara Bhadrapad Nakshatra.

All these transits — and the connection of Saturn with Pisces, and Pluto are preparing us for the change that the eclipse of the 25th can bring.

It is in Virgo — Hasta Nak @ 11°.

We are already feeling the purification of emotions since Ketu entered Hasta but now with this eclipse, there’s an opportunity to gain clarity.

Expect awareness of our emotional patterns, habits, and issues that may have been previously overlooked.

If taken rightly then, this can lead to emotional healing, the release of old wounds, and a greater sense of inner peace and clarity.

Lastly, on 26th Mar Mercury will start its new journey through the zodiac… but soon it will be retro in Aries

When Mercury is in Aries, our thoughts and communication become more assertive, straightforward, and to the point.

We are eager to put them in action. But this feeling won’t last long as Mercury will be retro on 1st April….

All in all, the entire month is eventful.

It is a happening time with eclipse… We will have clarity on a lot of pending matters and what we have worked on.

But manage your emotions well … be sensitive and intuitive but be practical to handle challenging matters.

Push yourself to let go wherever it’s required to get things done…

Check Virgo, Aquarius, and Pisces for the impact. The key degrees are 26 and 11 to observe in your chart.
