This month features the start of the Astrological New Year, as well as eclipse season. And it's all gearing up to what astrologers say is going to be an action-packed April—so enjoy March while it lasts. Here's your horoscope.

March flows in with Pisces season, a gentle tide calling us to sea—but don't let the sparkling waters fool you

This month will bring the start of eclipse season, and the currents of change are forming in those depths. We just can't see them yet!

That said, the waves don't rise until later in the month. Through March 19, the Sun is in enchanting and imaginative Pisces. Let your inner mermaid, artiste, and bohemian spirit gather at the celestial salon. Pull out a pack of Tarot cards, light some incense, and definitely turn on your favorite playlist.

El Sol is accompanied, for the first full cycle in our lifetimes, by both Saturn and Neptune

These two planets play opposite roles in astrology, which could make for an interesting contrast leading up to the spring equinox. Saturn rules structure and boundaries, the pull toward predictability. Neptune (the galactic guardian of Pisces) is here to dissolve our walls and escape from Saturn's harsh reality.

If Saturn wrote all the rules on a piece of paper, Neptune would come along and "accidentally" knock a glass of water on the page, smudging the ink to become imperceptible.

This month, if you find yourself navigating between dueling desires for both Saturn's certainty and Neptune's enchantments, seek a proper dose of both. At the March 10 Pisces new moon, also a supermoon, something delightful could materialize, in perfect divine timing.

The spring equinox arrives on March 19, ushering in Aries season and the start of the astrological calendar

Happy Astrological New Year! (Or Astrology Day, as many are calling it.) Pisces is the zodiac's last sign; Aries is the first. We may feel this shift of the Sun into the Ram's realm as an abrupt "welcome back to reality." Enough of the daydreaming. It's time for action!

This spring awakening is reinforced a week later by the March 25 Libra full moon, the first eclipse of 2024

This one is a lunar eclipse, and it links back to October 14, 2023, when a Libra solar (new moon) eclipse set events in motion.

We don't need to remind you that the first eclipse in the so-called sign of peace and harmony last October was anything but that. The cosmic reason? Well, eclipses come in pairs, as a duo of opposite signs.

We're now in a cycle of eclipses on the Aries-Libra axis, the zodiac signs that rule war and peace. Aries is ruled by combative Mars, Libra by conciliatory Venus. They've arrived to help us work through those themes, and unfortunately, humanity isn't exactly doing very well with the assignment.

But there's still time, and the opportunity to spread peace exists at the individual level too. The Libra lunar eclipse will be a wake-up call for all of us to examine our relationships and how well we coexist with people who might have very different values and agendas than our own.

Two weeks later, on April 8, the skies will serve up a solar eclipse in Aries

In this "eclipse corridor" between March 25 and the Aries eclipse, we'll also see communication planet Mercury turn retrograde in Aries (from April 1 to 25).

Use this last week of the month for prevention work. From backing up data and devices to checking if the people you rely on have their marching orders to triple-checking all your plans and reservations, an ounce of prevention will be a pound of cure.

Enjoy the calm of March because April will be action packed, with a number of intense encounters between major planets. Put as many deposits into the "bank of love" while your Pisces rosy-hued glasses are on. Every little bit counts!
