And…you're off! The month opens with a Virgo full moon on March 1, the only one in your sign this year. It's a perfect moment to fertilize seeds planted near your birthday, which hands you the metaphorical microphone. Well, Virgo, what do you want to broadcast to the world? If you have a big ask to make or a message to share, you've got the floor—so take full advantage!
The action keeps going from there. March, just like January, is bookended by a rare two full moons. This double dose of illumination could cause events to rapidly transpire. You might actually be grateful that two planets (including your ruler Mercury) will turn retrograde in March, giving you the chance to slow down, process and digest all the new ideas and information. While retrogrades have their hiccups and signal-scrambling moments, they can also provide much-needed quiet moments to work through all the energy that's gotten stirred up.
If you've been reeling from the eclipses of January 31 and February 15, you might finally start to make sense of it all now. The full moon in your sign offers an important chance to integrate all the soul-searching that was instigated by these potent lunations. You dealt with themes of control and surrender and had a few epiphanies about where you needed to let go or change. While there may have been a few teary-eyed moments, ultimately you released what no longer served you. Now the Virgo full moon on March 1 hosts a cosmic coming-out party for the lighter, brighter you that's emerging from the shadows.
Which leads to the next question: Who will join you on this adventure? The Sun is moving through the most partnership-driven zones of your chart all month. It's time to find your celestial squad—the handful of people (or that one special person) who can weather life's ups and downs with you, and make both ends of the spectrum more enjoyable.
But careful who you give "kindred spirit" status to now, Virgo. Risk-taker Jupiter will be retrograde in Scorpio and your third house of communication, friends and interactions from March 8 to July 10. A person who seemed like your long-lost soul twin could actually turn out to be flaky or not quite as in-sync as you initially thought.
It's okay, Virgo—you gave it a try. And taking risks in your social life has been good for you, no matter what the outcome. Expansive Jupiter is in Scorpio from October 10, 2017 to November 8, 2018, a 13-month cycle. You've learned a lot about yourself by expanding into your community, exploring new relationships or trying to be more vocal and visible. You might be on social (and social media) overload, and in need of some head-clearing downtime. Since retrogrades can bring back the past, you might reconnect with an old friend or crew over the next four months.
Until March 20, the Sun is in your opposite sign of Pisces, sounding a call for balance and harmony. Pisces rules your seventh house of commitments, and this month is prime time to take inventory of yours. If you're in a relationship, in what ways could you be more present and connected? Do you or your mate feel unappreciated or neglected? For single Virgos, Pisces season helps you define what you're looking for in a long-term mate (if you happen to be looking at all) or just how much you're willing to allow other people into your life. Even the most self-contained Virgo still needs people. How can you make an effort to let the trusted few in a little closer?
The March 17 Pisces new moon kicks off a six-month chapter of growth and opportunities to partner up, whether that's for business, love or a creative project. One person may rise above the competition now. And once the Sun moves into Aries and your eighth house of intimacy, joint ventures and shared resources for a month on March 20, you'll be even more interested in "going all the way."
Should you talk about making things official? Sure, but do it before March 22, when your ruling planet, mental Mercury, turns retrograde in Aries. You could get cold feet about diving in too deep when the quicksilver planet makes its U-turn, disrupting communication, technology and travel. Between now and April 15, address any doubts and concerns—but don't necessarily act on them. Maybe you have legitimate reason to hesitate about signing on the dotted line. Get your questions answered!
Don't just write those nagging feelings off as "trust issues," Virgo. Mercury retrograde is YOUR chance to conduct due diligence. Note: This is NOT the same thing as snooping—although a sneaky streak could crop up. A complicated but compelling ex might resurface, and with a retrograde Mercury drawing you toward intensity, temptation could be hard to resist. Try to view destructive people as messengers: What are your craving more of in your life? If it's excitement, risk or unpredictability, try to get it from a healthier source instead of walking back into that old trap.
Luckily, the month ends on a grounding note as the March 31 Libra full moon plants your feet on terra firma. Shining a spotlight on your second house of money, security and self-worth, la luna asks: What do YOU stand for, Virgo? When you root yourself in your personal values and priorities, your inner compass will always steer you right. This full moon can bring an exciting job offer, financial boost or clarity around your next money moves. Take a look at your daily routines and practices. Do they sustain you and support your bigger goals? If not, uplevel to new habits that do.
