This is another rather intense month for you, Scorpio, when you add it all up. The recent Solar Eclipse in Aquarius that kicked off the lunation cycle governing the first two weeks of the current month featured all three powerful outer planets plus Saturn. This signaled, in the case of Trickster Uranus, an ongoing instability with your relationship dynamics and partnership agreements, with the possibility of potential realignment. Transformational Pluto continues to occupy your fourth sector of home and family concerns, where your traditional ruler, Mars, also resided in the recent eclipse New Moon, indicating a renewed focus there. This might reference changes in your physical dwelling space, or its residents, or factors of your psychological roots to include issues with respect to your family of origin. There are implications as well for your creativity and sense of joy. These will likely see the tides of change visiting you, as this month continues. The other outer planet, Neptune, has a powerful influence as well in the current month due to the Saturn-Neptune conjunction, highlighted and nearly exact at 0° Aries in the recent New Moon. Lodged in your sector of service, health, day-to-day habitual routines, and your workplace, this brings both ideals, illusions, and their opposite in disenchantment, a dose of reality and also a distaining of the practicality thereby implied, so a complicated archetypal combination for you to have to deal with. The fact that Mercury is also retrograde in Pisces or your creativity sector as the March month gets underway might be added to this mix, as the reflective period of questioning and review also affects how you see yourself going forward. With the very potent Virgo Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse of March 3rd, your social sector is emphasized, implying renewed focus on your friendships, community, future plans, and long-term goals. You might also find an emphasis on seeing through the influence you carry from your creative projects out into the wider society that you are equally a part of. The 18th and the 20th of March are also extremely significant junctures, when the late Pisces New Moon and the subsequent Aries Solstice feature a large stellium of seven planets, counting Eris, Feminine Warrior for soul intention, going forward, highlighted in this New Moon. All in all, this is quite a month for putting your most authentic foot ahead and making your key relationships front and center in your movement toward greater integration and maturity.
