March Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Sagittarius Horoscope (November 22 - December 21)
Mutable Fire. Your ruling planet is Jupiter.

This is a month of celebration and communication, Sagittarius, and for turning to the inside for what you need. A resurgence of home and family concerns has got you rethinking your priorities. It is a time of pulling back as well as pushing forward. There may be sudden information or events that change the picture, dramatically, in an instant. Reaching out to others around you is more important than ever, especially when it comes from your own deep center and speaks to the most vital and heartfelt truth of your situation. Through it all you are still fairly steady at the helm, in spite of stormy weather. The tall bamboo bends before the wind, until it can regain its composure.

As the month begins, you are feeling the pull of home and family, riding the wave of the New Moon from the end of last month in your sector of your psychical and emotional roots. Communication of all kinds with others around you represents another important focus at this time. This could take either a written or a spoken form, within the circle of your peers, as you contemplate and attempt to make sense of your current circumstances. The situation that you are in right now involves a degree of idealism bordering on illusion and the danger is that this could lead to self-deception. There�s nothing wrong with idealism, even if the reality falls short of the mark and corresponds to the impossible dream at times, since a healthy sense of what you are aiming for counterbalances the cynicism of hyper-practicality. What takes you away from the ideal of your own private world is too great a reliance on the outer world of events and of the deeds that garner recognition. This month you are coming to another and deeper understanding of the necessary balance between them. Early in the month, the First Quarter Moon that takes place in the late evening of March 3rd signals a time to take stock and to see whether what it is that you are attempting in this current cycle will survive the ravages of hard-nosed reality. This may in fact help you to get a handle on these factors and to place them into stronger contrast. This is a powerful time for you, when there is much joy as well as some painful doses of materiality to deal with. The trick is to integrate the feelings on both sides of this issue and to arrive at a synthesis. At the time of the Full Moon a week further along, taking place on Tuesday, March 10th, you will be exposed to the polarities of your situation even more strongly. There is a push-pull within you right now of the pragmatics of common sense versus the notion of freedom at all costs. This shows up in your commentary to others, and represents both a trial in some ways and a desire for resolution. You must honor the demands of hard-and-fast practical reality at this time, even as you seek to transcend them. Your desire for balance will find its eventual resolution. With the retrograde of Venus in full swing right now, you are looking more deeply into these and other issues and how they ultimately affect you. You might find some answers, or at least a direction to go for answers, by the end of the following month. The remainder of the current cycle, including the dynamic and powerful New Moon of the 26th, serves to propel you further along this path.
