Taurus Monthly Forecast

When Mars turned direct on 24th February, it brought us to a point where there were no planets in retrograde motion and for the first time this year, every planet in the solar system was in direct motion and both moving and looking to the future. That is still the case as you move into the new month, but instead of staying that way for months, it will only be for a matter of days. Within the space of two weeks, Venus and Mercury will both turn retrograde and both in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart. The Sun will always return there on the March equinox to begin the month long wind down of your old solar year, but Venus and Mercury's early return means that they will be forced to wait. The first is Venus, who already taking your heart on a nostalgic trip down memory lane will turn retrograde on 2nd March, a day before Mercury joins her in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart on 3rd March. By then Mercury is already slowing down and will turn retrograde on 15th March. Until 20th March, the Sun is not only in your friendship sector but along with planets that are making this a powerful month across the social, friendship, teamwork and networking fronts. This will see two different threads run through the month, one where there are places to go and people to see and another where you will be seeking time out in order to reflect. The final 11 days of the month are also going to see a major shift. On 20th March, the Sun will leave your friendship sector and return to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart, with Neptune following suit on 31st March. At the same time, Venus will retrograde back out of a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart and back into your friendship sector on 27th March, followed by Mercury on 30th March, each swapping seats with the other. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Jupiter and Pluto are making this a good month on the income and career fronts while a total lunar eclipse in a playful and creative part of your chart on 14th March will ensure life doesn't become all work and no play.

The love, communication and relationship gods are not only all active this month but in a way not usually seen at this time of year and with positive implications. While the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment left your relationship sector last month, it should be another four years until she returns again. Instead, a retrograde turn will not only see her retrograde back in next month but to spend the next 10 months here. Juno also left your relationships in safe hands. Preferring to operate in the background, out of sight and out of mind, the asteroid Hestia, the goddess of the hearth is helping to keep the home fires burning. She is also keeping the connection with Mars in your communication sector going. Back in direct motion, Mars will leave next month, but not before spending the whole of March continuing his war on communication barriers. Both the communication lines and your relationships will benefit from the planetary activity in your friendship sector and especially when Venus, the planet of love retrogrades back in there on 27th March. The whole month is packed with support when it comes to friendship and relationship building. Some of the most important and positive days on the communication and relationship fronts will be when the Moon moves through your communication sector from 8th March to 10th March and through your relationship sector from 17th March to 20th March. Meanwhile, the most romantically charged days of the month will be when the Moon moves through your romantic sector from 12th March to 15th March. With having the South Node here turning an ordinary Full Moon on 14th March into a total lunar eclipse, the first here in two decades, these will be some of the most romantically charged days of the month while bringing the element of fate into play.
