After the sun enters Aries on the 19th, you emerge from your swamp and into the light as your confidence, vitality, and sense of self-assuredness return. Soon after, your Ascendant ruler, Mars, enters Pisces on the 22nd. You might still be vanquishing the bog monsters of your discontent, but this time, you’re no damsel in distress—you’re the hero who’s come to rescue yourself from worry, fear, and delusional thinking of both the hopeless and hopeful variety. Your greatest strength right now is your knowledge of who you are. Your sword of certainty can cut through the fog of doubt.
As you near the lunar eclipse on the 25th, time itself may get bendy as you approach a turning point in your relationships. Maybe you saw this coming from a distance, but you weren’t expecting to reach it this fast—eclipses, however, have a way of speeding up the inevitable. In your introspective journey of the last few weeks, you might have been dwelling on a specific person whose betrayal (or lack of availability) was clouding your judgment. Is it time to cut them loose, or just change the terms of how you’re relating to each other? That’s not a rhetorical question, by the way—only you know what makes sense for you. It definitely feels like it’s time to put yourself first, but make sure you’re not shooting yourself in the foot in the process.

At this point, challenging the world’s assumptions about you is second nature. You’ve been deep in that work for the past three years. So if you find yourself itching for another minor pivot around the 3rd, let your thirst for novelty guide you. This may or may not have something to do with last month’s controversies, or with the charged nature of whatever you’ve been working on professionally. You’re not who you were five years ago, or even five months ago. What’s the fresh new thing on the tip of your tongue?
After Venus enters Pisces on the 11th, your urge to merge with the collective intensifies. This is normally a pleasurable, social transit for you that provides a satisfying sense of connection and puts you in rooms full of interesting, like-minded people. However, something feels a little different this time around. That something is Saturn. You might be feeling excluded from the group, especially around the 21st. Maybe you’re the one who can’t, or doesn’t want to, get on the same wavelength as everyone else. That’s not to say you should cancel the annual girls’ trip or avoid joining group tours like the plague—just know that you’ll be better off going into it with lowered expectations. Better yet, what is your hesitancy teaching you about what you actually desire out of social connection right now? If you’re getting an ick, where does your “no” redirect you instead?
The end of the month is where things get interesting. There’s a lunar eclipse in Libra on the 25th, which brings you to another big plot twist concerning your work, health, and maybe even your pets. What came up around these themes in October, and how must you now answer the call again? This time, the disruption might involve the team dynamics at your job, your friends, or a community you look to for guidance and belonging. Online groups can be excellent resources for information, and you can get by with a little help from your friends. But if you’re not feeling heard or getting your needs met, it might be time to seek other forms of support.

If there’s a speech or presentation you need to give at work this month, wait until after the 9th if you can help it. Mercury is swimming through some murky waters in early March, and it’s going to complicate your efforts to express yourself publicly. All is not lost, though, and this might actually be an inspired moment for a meaningful mic drop, or crushing it at the local poetry slam. Creative expression is favored under this transit—straightforward communication is not.
