Sagittarius Monthly Forecast

Until leaving your home and family sector on 20th March, the Sun will always have the solar spotlight on home, family and/or property matters at this time of year, but with a lot more significance this year. Not only do you have a lot more planets here than would normally be the case, including the dwarf planet Ceres, who is making her first deep dive into your needs and priorities on the home front in four years but Venus and Mercury are both reluctant to leave. By the time Venus left early last month, she had spent a month making home where your heart is while updating your wants. Yet by the end of the month, a retrograde turn will bring her back for a rare do over on 27th March. Even Mercury, who will leave and join Venus in a playful and creative part of your chart on 3rd March, will turn retrograde on 15th March and begin making his way back out again. This will see Mercury return to your home and family sector on 30th March, ending the month where he began. The Sun will not only be gone by then but on 20th March will return to a playful and creative part of your chart, ready to swap places with Venus and Mercury when they retrograde back out. Between the Sun, Mercury and Venus, there isn't a moment this month when at least one or more will be in either your home and family sector or your romantic and creative sector, giving your bases covered on both fronts. This is not the norm, but they have their reasons, which in the final hours of the month will become apparent, when after 14 years in your home and family sector Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams will leave and join the Sun in a playful and creative part of your chart. Saturn will stay on before doing the same in May, with a major shift underway by the end of the month. With Mars returning to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery next month, this is preparation for a major powering up of the playful, creative and adventurous side of life's fence. Until then, back in direct motion, Mars' last full month in your financial sector is all about using his financial passions and fighting spirit to take your financial power back.

The only thing that you can stick in your calendar with total trust is that on the March equinox, the Sun will always return to your romantic sector, with his return on 20th March the point in each year when the solar spotlight will shift onto matters of the heart and all things romantic. However, always travelling with the Sun but not always to the same strict timetable are Venus and Mercury, the planets of love and communication, who can return before, after or while the Sun is here. This can extend the most romantically charged months of any year out several weeks on either side of the Sun's month long visit, but rarely to the degree that you have this year. When Venus, the planet of love returned for what should have been a 24 day visit in early February, the Sun was nearly six weeks away, stretching to the limit their separation. There is only so far that Venus can get ahead of or in front of the Sun and by returning that early, she stretched that limit too far and you get to enjoy the benefits. This has forced Venus to slow down and wait and as you move into the new month, she is not only still here but at a standstill ahead of a retrograde turn on 2nd March that will see her retrograde back out on 27th March. By the time the Sun returns a week earlier, Venus will have been working her magic for over six weeks. Even then, when Venus turns direct next month, she will return for a do over and will return five weeks later to do it again. Even Mercury is doing the same, returning to your romantic sector on 3rd March, turning retrograde on 15th March and then retrograding back out on 30th March, only to return next month for a do over. Venus and Mercury will have both just left when Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams returns to your romantic sector for the first time in our lifetime on 31st March. The Moon will move through from 1st March to 3rd March and again from 29th March to 31st March. It is an eclipsing New Moon on 29th March that will capture the magic. Meanwhile, in his first full month in direct motion in your relationship sector, Jupiter is laying low while providing a constant and steady presence.
