In the Stars for March

The Sun has been transiting through the imaginative mystic water sign Pisces. This sign signals the end of the winter cycle and mid-March brings the Vernal Equinox when the Sun enters the fire sign Aries.

The Pisces Sun sign is the most fluid sign of the zodiac as it ends the cycle. The symbol of the two fish swimming in opposing directions while fastened together by the silver cord of life symbolize the dual aspects and confusion attributed to Pisces. Pisces natives are: romantic, imaginative, sensitive, psychic, introverted, giving them strong deep emotional inner life that they must sort through to feel love and compassion as faith verses worries and fears which can dominate their consciousness. Because Neptune and Jupiter rules Pisces these folks can be very kind, sympathetic, receptive, intuitive and humble and conversely dualistic, vague, indecisive, secretive, careless and often are not very adept at dealing with the physical world. They may have high hopes that they reach for through their use of their sharp creative visualization skills. What they imagine is likely to become their reality as they have a strong desire body. Their best traits are when they have developed their spirituality and allow it to shine as they can bring joy to many through their unending generosity and sacrifice. “I have faith”, is the keyword for Pisces.

These aspects can strengthen your personality by manifesting challenges that allow you to see your true path that allows you be your own authority and find your solace in spiritual creative quests.
