Happy Spring, beloveds!
March has felt more intense than usual this year. Traditionally it’s said that March can come in like a lion and go out like a lamb—or the reverse—but this time many of us experienced the “lion” energy right in the middle of the month. The good news: March is ending gently. If it’s been a struggle to get to this point, take heart—things are easing up.
Last week the Sun changed signs and launched a new season. Expect signs of growth and fresh beginnings as flowers and new opportunities appear to reward your efforts. What blossoms are you hoping to see? Be patient if they don’t arrive immediately; clearing away the debris from winter is an important first step.
The recent Full Moon in Libra helped tidy up lingering issues and bring certain cycles to completion. With both the Sun and Moon making significant moves, many of us felt shifts on an emotional and practical level—especially given that Mercury was retrograde at the time.
This week brings a welcome turnaround: Mercury goes direct. Communication should start to smooth out, missed messages and misunderstandings can be resolved, and plans stalled by the retrograde can begin moving forward. At the same time, Mars moves into airy Gemini, energizing social goals and bringing passionate momentum to group projects and conversations.
Spring invites a lighter, breezier approach to life. Let go of excessive seriousness and lean into curiosity and play. With Mercury direct in Pisces, acts of kindness, compassionate conversations, and imaginative plans get a boost. When you find that flow—call it Spring fever—you’ll notice a renewed sense of possibility and momentum.
Here’s what to expect in the coming days.
