MONTHLY HOROSCOPES

Kim Fairminer

Aries

Confusion and chaos reign in early March and you just don’ t have the energy to herd cats. Bide your time; the cats aren’ t your responsibility anyway. Your efforts are better spent editing out bad habits and creating a peaceful psychic space to rest. Mercury retrograde cautions against premature commitment, but as Aries season gears up, you’ ll feel more like yourself and re-engage with the world and defining your place in it. Invest yourself fully – mind, body and soul – into opening a channel to the divine, giving form to your intuitive visions and solidifying your role in the collective.

Taurus

Don’ t let your desire for perfection get in the way of a good time. Kids make mess; you forget key sports’ kit; and colour goes outside the lines. It’ s all an opportunity for creativity and surrender. If in doubt – and I know you are – ask a friend for mystical success strategies. With Mercury retrograde in your social sector, together you can participate in a live demonstration of how to flow( or not) with miscommunication and slippery logistics. Let some dreams dissolve and refocus only on your truest, most meaningful priorities. Your professional purpose is quietly but steadily transforming.

Gemini

The rug is pulled from under your feet around the lunar eclipse, which may prompt you to redecorate the lounge room or completely restructure your living situation. While there is positive career activity, it’ s difficult to focus on your public life when your shaman and ChatGPT are offering completely different advice about your future life direction. The radio static is Mercury retrograde. Tread water until the equinox and then tune back into the advice offered by the cosmos and your social circle. The parameters of your mission are still being defined and your role will soon become clear.

Cancer

If it’ s not the news feed, it’ s your siblings. The lunar eclipse reveals exactly which conversations and communication channels you need to mute for the sake of your
mental health. You yearn to escape the minutiae, lose yourself in vast concepts, and inadvertently find yourself again. Forgotten study or travel plans will play a part in your quest. Take concrete action as March comes to a close. You are the magic wand that turns vague ideas and spiritual insights into a practical pathway. Your faith also informs the powerful shift to a more soulful career.

Leo

Issues about money and selfworth climax at the lunar eclipse, bringing up serious questions about spending as a way of papering over your repressed fears about financial and emotional security. The deeper you dive into the murky world of debt and shared resources, the less encumbered you are when you emerge. Aries season helps you dry out, regain your self-belief and reconnect with your spiritual purpose. You define much of your worldly identity through your relationships and this part of your life is rapidly evolving. You are keen to explore the distribution of power and trust..

Virgo

Loosen your grip in early March and prepare to shed outdated self-concepts under the lunar eclipse, especially those tied up with your body image. This emotional purge is also connected to who you are in your relationships. Let go of idealisation – of yourself and others – and clarity will seep in. Aries season encourages honesty and more straightforward collaborations. Push past your barriers to vulnerability and speak up about what you need to feel secure. You are committed to restructuring your deepest desires and your deepest fears, as well as the unconscious habits that maintain them.

Libra

Your need for sleep and solace peaks with the lunar eclipse. If peace evades you, it’ s your soul asking for better care of your subtle systems. Try as you might, you can’ t optimise your way to nirvana. Mercury retrograde all but insists that you let your schedule slip to make more space for creative and devotional tasks. Listen carefully for quiet messages from your intuitive body. Romantic sparks are kindled as Aries season fires up your partnership sector. Old patterns of connection won’ t satisfy; there’ s a slow, significant shift underway in your relationship life.

Scorpio

Big changes are happening with friends or in one of your communities. You may need to adjust your aspirations as a result. Have faith that whatever you release creates new outlets for artistry and pleasure. Think of it as an auspicious rearrangement, rather than a farewell. Your imaginative vision takes on firmer form in Aries season, when you know what you need to do and how you want to do it. Late March is the perfect time to immerse yourself in the pleasure of daily rituals. This commitment to practical magic informs your future success.

Sagittarius

The lunar eclipse flips your life on its head. Your career and reputation are at turning points as a project completes, perhaps without the satisfaction you were hoping for. You retreat to home and family, where you can privately ruminate on the outcome. Things aren’ t necessarily stable there either, but familiarity provides safety. Later in March, you find yourself in a creative renaissance and fall in love with life’ s pleasures again. Over time, these small sparks of imagination will become a regenerative wildfire as you restructure your life around the unapologetic expression of your ideas.

Capricorn

A crisis of faith pushes you beyond an academic understanding of what you believe to be true. While it may feel like the world is crumbling around you, the carefully crafted frameworks of your convictions will prove to be more enduring if they are flexible and periodically reimagined. Listen for strange prophecies as signposts on your journey. While there are no wrong turns, allow extra time for paperwork to be resubmitted. The very ground beneath your feet may be in flux but the foundations you are constructing must adapt to prevailing environmental conditions.

Aquarius

Trust issues peak with the lunar eclipse – and not without reason. There’ s work to be done on shared resources and psychological intimacy; you’ ll need to get your

hands dirty with money and / or emotions. Rigid metrics of self-worth can’ t quantify intangible values; but, at the same time, it can’ t be“ anything goes”. Responsibility is shared. You can maintain your sense of security without unduly burdening yourself or micromanaging others. Discovering your true energetic boundary lines requires a carefully blended cocktail of hard data and soft compassion. Instinctive reactions lead you to your evolutionary frontier.

Pisces

The lunar eclipse in your partnership sector reveals something that you wish wasn’ t true. With Mercury retrograde, it may not be, but that doesn’ t alleviate the immediate experience of loss and disappointment. You will find silver linings if you keep your edges soft and identity flexible. Confidence increases as Aries season progresses, leading to earning opportunities and increased self-worth. Taking the initial steps beyond your current edges on pricing, asking and receiving leads to a softer and stronger sense of self. Be patient; extending your spiritual vision into material security is a long-term project.
