Overview
The astrological landscape for March is highlighted by significant planetary movements, most notably with Venus transitioning into sidereal Aquarius and Mercury into sidereal Pisces on March 7, followed by the Sun’s movement into sidereal Pisces and Mars into sidereal Aquarius on March 15.
The personal planet Venus is likely to favor the month beginning March 7. This transit is particularly auspicious for individuals who have Venus in a favorable position in their birth chart and are currently experiencing an active Venus phase in their transit chart. However, those with a Virgo, Leo, or Taurus Navamansa (ninefold) ascendant might find this period less favorable. For example, a benefic placement of Venus in the 11th house could signify enhanced social connections, romantic engagements, and financial opportunities, offering a period of joy and prosperity.
Similarly, Mercury’s entrance into Pisces on the same day begins a period of intellectual growth and better communication, especially for those with Mercury well-placed in their natal chart and active in their transit chart. This period holds promise for those born under Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius ninefold ascendants. If Mercury occupies a favorable position, such as the 5th house, it may bring about popularity, creative bursts, and recognition in various endeavors.
Mars’ movement into Capricorn until March 15 marks a period of exaltation for the planet, underscoring the significance of its transit through this cardinal and earth sign governed by Saturn. Here, Mars synthesizes its inherent vigor with Capricorn’s discipline, merging the qualities of ambition and patience, dynamism and stability, youthful zeal and mature wisdom.
Furthermore, the direct motion of Uranus in sidereal Aries, which began on January 27, is set to clarify the global political landscape. The previously uncertain scenarios, including the political dynamics in the United States and international conflicts including the Ukraine-Russia and Israeli-Hamas wars are likely to fade away and a clear picture likely to emerge.
Mars Ingress into Sidereal Capricorn
Mars entered sidereal Capricorn on February 5 and will transit through Capricorn until March 15. Being a sign of exaltation, Mars’ transit is always significant in Capricorn. Capricorn is a cardinal and an earth sign ruled by Saturn. This is where Mars finds the balance between its impulsive nature and steadiness, between dynamic nature and patience, and between a child’s ambition and a mature person’s wisdom.
For individuals, the placement of Mars in their natal charts is important. The most favorable houses for Mars to occupy are the tenth, eleventh, sixth, and the third. The most challenging houses would be the first, fourth, seventh, eighth, and twelfth. However, for an exalted Mars, almost all houses can be positive unless its energy is blocked by adverse planets. The favorable houses become more favorable, and the challenges are almost reduced to zero in unfavorable houses.
For those who have Scorpio, Leo, Pisces, and Aries as their ninefold (Navamansa) ascendant, they are very likely to enjoy this six-week period with success, recognition, victory over adversaries, and pretty much things going their way.
At a collective level, Mars in Capricorn signifies a very active and brisk period for political leaders, entrepreneurs, military personnel, and leaders in almost all fields. It’s also a very event-driven period that is likely to leave its mark for a long time.
With Uranus direct in Aries, a clear picture emerges in world affairs.
On January 27, Uranus became direct in motion in sidereal Aries. Therefore, going forward, the uncertain and fuzzy picture of the political landscape in the United States, as well as confusion in international politics and affairs that include both the Ukraine-Russia and Israeli-Hamas conflicts, is likely to fade away. A clear picture is likely to emerge within a few weeks as it takes about a couple of weeks for Uranus, which had been stagnant, to pick up speed.
At the collective level, the ongoing presidential politics of both the Republican and Democratic parties will start picking up speed, culminating by the end of May as Uranus will then be leaving sidereal Aries and entering the next sign, Taurus. A lot of surprises in US politics are likely to emerge. During the same period, the politics of the United Kingdom is also likely to take center stage in world affairs.
At an individual level, for those who have a reasonably well-placed Uranus in their birth charts and have Aquarius, Scorpio, Cancer, or Gemini as a ninefold (Navamansa) ascendant, are likely to experience a sudden change in their daily routine as things that were stagnant start moving forward, especially if Uranus is active in their transit charts.
