Overview
March begins with the auspicious conjunction of two benefics: Venus and Jupiter in sidereal Pisces. Given the third benefic Neptune is already in Pisces, Pisces is going to be loaded with beneficial energy of these three planets. Pisces is the sign where Venus is in exaltation and Jupiter and Neptune rule Pisces. Just a wonderful combination when, for a change, world is likely to witness love of heart even in the middle of chaos, war in Ukraine, and violence in some part of the world. Jupiter-Venus conjunction is very auspicious for material prosperity and spirituality for those who have such conjunction in their natal charts in any house except the sixth.
While Venus ingress Aries on March 12, Mars enters Gemini on the same day. Gemini being the air and mutable sign, the energetic Mars is likely to provide the needed energy boost for those who have Gemini rising (and Gemini Moon) unless Mars is poorly placed in their chart.
Authoritarian regimes facing more crises and loss of control?
After being retrograde, Neptune returns to Pisces and continues to transit through Pisces for the following 14 years (till mid 2036). Neptune being a spiritual planet will certainly affect the matters related to Pisces in a significant way.
Pisces being a water and mutable sign ruled by Jupiter some of its significant characteristics are: Divine, fruitful, fertile, emotional, honest, outspoken, religious, spiritual, nonviolent, polite, modest, moody, affectionate, hermit, psychic, water, compassion, love, heart connection, non-verbal communication and introvert. These qualities complement very well with qualities of Neptune that include: spiritual, intuitive, divine, psychic, magical, highly emotional, moody, clairvoyant, inspiration, imaginative, love, compassionate and mystical.
As a result, a subtle and slow change in our collective moral and spiritual perceptions is certainly going to be manifested in the way we never experienced before. This era of the next 14 years will be remembered as the period of spiritual inspiration and transformation. Interestingly, this era also complements well with the era of Pluto’s transit in sidereal Capricorn (a sign ruled by spiritual Saturn) that runs in parallel during the same time. The way we have been used to deal with religions will no longer be our norms. Our moral codes will be greatly influenced by our collective spiritual experiences. And in that sense a subtle but most effective transformation of world morality during this unique era of the next 14 years is likely to take us to a level where the norms solely based on spiritual experiences will dictate and guide our lives.
Pisces, being the sign for poets, musicians, singers, monks, religious leaders, spiritual leaders, nurses, nuns, social workers, caregivers, saints, psychics, actors, sailors and ship captains, these respective fields will go through significant transformations. And these transformations will be reflected in the new norms of morality and ethics, expansion of our collective psychic abilities and mystical experiences keeping in line with steady progress in our ability to directly perceive truth.
In scientific and technological areas, a lot of drastic changes and emerging new ideas coupled with mystical experiences will find their way into innovations and discoveries.
It will be the first time the scientific and technological research will be more focused in areas that will bridge the gap between science and morality. The likely areas of research will be in spiritual healing, looking for ways to tap new sources of energy without disturbing global climate – recent news about the possibility of harnessing energy from nuclear fission will very likely be materialized in next 14 years. The return to the holistic and Ayurvedic practices and alternate medicines are also very likely.
A new wave of philosophers and philanthropist with their new perspectives on living, in general, will transform our world in next 14 years.
On the downside, the religious leaders and social reformers may tend to form cults and spread cult like activities, rise in organized religion scandals, deceptive activities under the disguise of promise of spiritual experiences. The scandals of the secretive collaboration between the medical doctors and pharmaceutical industries will continue to be exposed. The increase usage of mind-altering drugs, disregard for social and to some extent moral responsibility, rise in mental disorders, and losing the touch with reality are some of the likely symptoms of the negative side of Neptune. One of the prominent fall-outs of the Piscean Neptune will be a significant decline of authoritarian regime’s influence around the world. Russia, China, and other authoritarian regimes will continue to lose their hold as they face the forces of our collective spiritual transformation.
On individual level for those who have water sign (Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces) as their ascendant in their natal ninefold (Navamansh) chart should get ready for a brand new and long lasting (14 years) cycle of change, especially a very pronounced cycle for those who have Neptune as a dominant planet in their birth charts. The changes that might occur would be very subtle and would deal with new or renewed interest in spirituality, openness, psychic abilities to perceive truth, divine experiences, transformed perceptions and beliefs, and the way of living.
Upheaval in Social Media Industries
On January 17, Saturn returned to the sidereal Aquarius and will stay in Aquarius until March 29, 2025.
What does Saturn in the sidereal Aquarius mean?
Aquarius being the air (intelligence) and fixed (perseverance) sign, Saturn’s energy will likely be strongly pronounced in the area of information technology level accelerating the process of our spiritual growth. As a result, philanthropists, social reformers, philosophers, scientists, spiritual leaders (not religious leaders) and peace-makers will shape our world with better clarity and purpose.
On the other hand, some of the prominent social media and internet related companies will likely to go under and be replaced with new media as a part of Saturn/Pluto’s transformation process.
Those who have Saturn in Aquarius (Saturn return) in their natal charts have already been experiencing Saturn’s energy as their lives transformed to new settings due to a drastic change mostly at mental and psychological levels. In my opinion, despite a painful period of frustration due to unexpected drastic changes in life, it’s going to be an exciting period for those who have dominant Saturn in their birth chart and have Aries, Taurus, Virgo and Sagittarius as their natal ninefold (Navamansha) ascendant.

Planetary Energies for Individuals
Mars-Neptune Square (March 13-16)
Typically, this square is very unfavorable. For those who have such square in their birth chart, and if any one of these planets is active in their Gochar (transit) chart, they need be extra careful. The best thing to do is to lay low key, not make any new commitment, and avoid taking any sort of risk.
Pluto-Uranus ninefold trine (March 21 – April 9)
Uranus-Pluto ninefold trine is going to be favorable for those who have these planets favorably placed in their natal charts. Expect monetary as well as power gains, promotions, and improved prestige in professional and social fields. You will distinctly notice and feel the positive impulse during this period. It’s time to jump in and enjoy the ride.
