HeartwingsandFriends.com - Tasha's AstroPlanner (March)

The big news is that this month Uranus moves into a new sign, Aries, for the next seven plus years. Aries symbolizes beginnings, activity, athletics, adventurousness, courage and pioneering spirit on the positive side, and on the negative side disruption, impatience, "me first" and explosive egotism. What does that mean for us in the larger sense? Possibilities include inventive new products, a spirit of experimentation, an upturn in athletic activity, an elevation in the consciousness of youth and perhaps pioneering into space during the next seven years. Depending on where Uranus is placed in any individual chart, various possibilities exist for new beginnings, opportunities for innovation, and an upturn in clarity of mind and communication as well as inspiration out of the blue and unexpected events. It's fun to see how these things come out.

The next most important news is that Mercury turns retrograde this month, however, not until the 30th. As the month goes on, there could be some slow downs or glitches in transportation or mail delivery, emails or other communications. Be sure to make any major purchases of machinery or tickets for trips, appliances or office equipment most especially computers or their components well in advance of the 30th.

The New Moon on the Friday the 4th is in Pisces. Be sure to write your abundance checks* on or after 4 pm EST. This New Moon signals a need for us all to be sensitive to those in need or who are limited or restricted in some way. It also sends a message that it is important to finish up all "old business" this month in order that April's New Moon in Aries can carry us forward into a new cycle of activity without any leftover tasks or things to we need to do from the past. The Full Moon in Virgo on the 19th suggests this is a good time for spring cleaning. It also signals a "high tide" in events requiring care of others and matters of health. Full Moon energy helps in the fulfillment of predicted trends or matters already under way that need concluding.

Other highlights this month include: Electric energy on the 9th, great for new ideas or connections. Difficulties with transportation or communication on the 13th, unexpected insights or interruptions on the 21st, and the 26th could prove to be a confusing day, definitely not a good day to go shopping but n excellent one to attend any kind of spiritual gathering. The 27th and the 28th could prove stressful if you resist changes. Plan if you can a few revisions, restructuring, refurbishing, or any other "re" activities to begin on the 30th when Mercury turns retrograde for the next 3 weeks.

	March is the third month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar and one of seven Gregorian months with the length of 31 Days. In ancient Rome, March was called Martius, so named after Mars, the Roman god of war.
	March was originally the first month of the Roman calendar before the winter months of January and February were added about 700 BC by King Numa Pompilius. It ceased to be the first month of the calendar year (the year when displayed as twelve months) about 450 BC during the time of the decemvirs, when January assumed that position. Roman consuls entered office in March between 222 BC and 153 BC, hence Roman events dated via the consular year began in March during that period. The numbered year began on March 1 in Russia until the end of the fifteenth century. Great Britain and her colonies continued to use March 25 until 1752, the same year they finally adopted the Gregorian calendar.
	In Finnish, the month is called maaliskuu, which originates from maallinen kuu meaning earthy month. This is because in maaliskuu earth started to show from under the snow. Historical names for March include the Saxon term Lenctmonat, named for the equinox and eventual lengthening of days and the eventual namesake of Lent. The Saxons also called March Rhed-monat (for their goddess Rhedam); ancient Britons called it hyld-monath (meaning loud or stormy).
	There is an adage that March "comes in like a lion, but goes out like a lamb", referring to the weather that some regions experience during the month. This saying is meant to demonstrate the unpredictable weather which often occurs as the seasons change.
	The equinox named the vernal or spring equinox in the northern hemisphere and the autumnal equinox in the southern hemisphere occurs on dates varying from 19 March to 21 March (in UTC).
	March in the Northern Hemisphere is the seasonal equivalent to September in the Southern Hemisphere (and vice versa).
	March begins on the same day of the week as February, excepting leap years, and as November every year.
	March's birth flower is the Jonquil or the Daffodil.
	March's birthstone is aquamarine for Pisces and diamond for Aries
