March 3 — Total Lunar Eclipse: A Chart That Packs a Punch

The 3/3 Total Lunar Eclipse chart is full of oomph. It forges ahead with new values that are experiential, inspired, and deeply felt. This eclipse energy helps us eclipse out people, places, and circumstances that have become unhelpful — especially those that may have dragged us into a kind of metaphorical underworld.



This is about decisive action. It’s about cutting away partnerships and alliances that no longer align with our updated vision boards and evolving karmic cycle.


With 10th house ruler Pluto sitting in the 1st house in Aquarius, and Mars in the 2nd house in Pisces, we are taking control of our legacy and reshaping our public and social narrative. This is personal sovereignty in action.


As Pluto in Aquarius looks to Uranus in Taurus in the 4th house, we are knowingly and purposefully shaking up our foundations to break old cycles. For some, this may feel cleansing — like a bath after wrestling in the mud. For others, it may feel like a destabilizing jolt.


But either way, there is an intuitive knowing: There is no looking back. The changes must be made.


March 19 — Chiron–Eris Conjunction: The Pushback

The Chiron–Eris conjunction on 3/19 speaks to the pushback we may experience for taking our stand. This abrasive energy began with the Mars–North Node conjunction on 3/12 and continues through the crescendo here.



When we shift internally, it can disrupt the comfort of “business as usual” for those around us — peers, coworkers, friends who were used to the previous version of us. Because of our growth, we may feel grating to routines that once felt smooth.


This is where tension can arise. Emotions may flare.


And honestly? This is expected.


Rather than shrinking, use this energy as redirection. Let the friction clarify what you do want to change. Let it strengthen your direction instead of blurring it.


March 21 — Mars Trine Jupiter: Devotion, Romance & Bold Commitments

On 3/21, Mars in Pisces in the 7th house trines Jupiter in Cancer in the 11th — and this is a beautiful, heart-opening alignment.



For those seeking romance or looking to deepen commitment, this is a powerful chart. There is devotion here, especially as the Virgo Ascendant looks to Mercury in Pisces in the 7th house, signaling thoughtful partnership and intentional communication.


Meanwhile, Sun, Neptune, Saturn, and Venus gather in the 8th house, highlighting willingness for deeper merging, commitment, and transformation.


This is the kind of chart that supports:

  • Marriage proposals

  • Deepened commitments

  • Elopements

  • Public declarations of partnership

  • Serious business alliances


With Pluto in the 5th looking to Uranus in the 9th, then to Venus in the 8th and Mars in the 7th, there is an electric quality — bold, perhaps even impulsive. There’s a willingness to dive headfirst into uncharted waters without over-planning.


Yes, the lingering Chiron–Eris energy may bring naysayers. Not everyone will understand your leap.


But with Jupiter direct in the 11th house sending blessings, extended family, community, or organizational affiliates tend to look kindly upon these developments — especially in business matters.


And if new romance or ventures aren’t in your orbit? This is still a beautiful time to rekindle existing relationships and mark a recommitment — something you can point to and say, “We chose this again.”


March 28 — Saturn Sextile Pluto: Empowered Transformation

Near the end of the month, Saturn sextiles Pluto exactly on 3/28, though the energy builds from mid-month onward.


This is when things kick off — and kick up.



Expect a sense of movement. Opportunities may arrive quickly. Shifts may feel like a roller-coaster. But this is empowering energy. It supports making structured, lasting changes and engaging with:

  • New partnerships

  • New projects

  • New roles

  • New social dynamics


As the Moon conjuncts the Ascendant, and Venus and Chiron had just conjoined on 3/26, vulnerability is still present. Sensitivity is heightened — both ours and others’.


This calls for finesse. Softness. Emotional intelligence.


Even with our hearts on our sleeves, there is an intuitive awareness that now is the time to take a stand. Steady action toward transforming our daily routines, support systems, and societal roles may feel tender — but it moves us closer to manifesting our vision boards.


The key is simple and profound:

Feel the vulnerability — and steady on.


The Thread Through March: Realignment Through Courage

As you can see, this month carries consistent themes.


We are being asked to steadily move toward realignment with the new, while honoring the vulnerability that comes with releasing the old.


If you feel especially sensitive or emotionally exposed this month, know that this is not a sign you’re off track. It’s often confirmation that you are exactly where you need to be.


It’s okay to tremble while taking action. It’s okay to feel fear while moving forward.


As they say: feel the fear and do it anyway — steadily.


May you have a love-filled March with forward-moving momentum.


Love & Blessings 💗
