Aries Taurus Gemini Horoscopes

- With LILITH ROCHA

MAR 21-APR 21

With your planet ruler Mars acting mischievou­s, frisky and inclined to overshare, it’s definitely worth limiting this month’s deluge of digital input so that it doesn’t confuse you or skew your judgement. It’s also advisable to take your time and not be too trusting of fast-talking salespeopl­e or online offers where – hey presto! – you’ve bought before you thought. Your peak cycle for 2021 arrives with the alignment of Mars and Saturn at autumn equinox on the 21st, when March turns golden for its last 10 days as the sun and Venus join forces in Aries for your own radiant month in the sun. Bask in its glow and embrace new opportunit­ies.

APR 22-MAY 21

Shifts in world power, economic systems and weather patterns necessitat­e new approaches to the way we live, particular­ly the ability to be flexible and resilient. If last year taught us anything, it was that the best-laid plans sometimes pivot at a moment’s notice. Your guiding star, Venus, wearing two distinctly different faces this month, offers an excellent opportunit­y to practise dancing with whatever chance presents. For the first three weeks of March she’s tender, affectiona­te, understand­ing and empathetic. Then she insists that you turn these qualities inwards and give yourself the same grace and patience you extend to others.

MAY 22-JUN 22

With flamboyant Mars in your sign, whatever you’re selling, others will be buying. But don’t forget that playing the great persuader can have its pitfalls, and sometimes a quick tongue can talk you into all sorts of trouble before you know it. With so much misinforma­tion flying about, savvy Twins will avoid gossip and time-wasting bickering. Don’t place your trust in people until you’re certain they deserve it. The high point of this extra-chatty month? The full moon on March 29 brings welcome balance to an out-of-kilter situation – use this conciliato­ry astral opportunit­y for repair and reconcilia­tion.

Cancer JUN 23-JUL 23

Because food and mood are so directly interconne­cted, this month suggests watching what goes into your mouth – and what comes out of it. Circle March 13’s new moon to focus on whichever replenishi­ng activity feeds your soul the nourishmen­t it’s hungering for.

Not sure what? Perhaps start with gratitude that somewhere in the world others are praying for peace, farmers are growing food, and people you’ll never meet are working to make sure you get your mail, electricit­y and essential services. Make this a daily practice, and March 29’s full moon will definitely be shining on a happier Cancerian mindset.

Libra SEP 24-OCT 23

Your planetary influencer Venus is in people-pleasing mode for the first three weeks of this touchy-feely month. After that, your own pleasure portal opens when March 21’s autumn equinox sees Venus shift into glamourpus­s mode and declare boldness is your new best friend. As Libran lives segue from old scenarios into new directions, this is the perfect transit for an exciting makeover. And, saving the best for last, the lovely end-of-month full moon in Libra for 2021 shines on a reset of harmony and equilibriu­m with loved ones, in business partnershi­ps, or where there are difference­s of opinion.

Sagittariu­s NOV 23-DEC 21

This month talk is cheap, and probably also heated, with Mars in fast, flirty, motormouth mode. Sure, there’s a lot going on, but forget FOMO: liberate yourself from saying yes to everything – a little mystique can be alluring. As March dives deep into the ocean of emotion, give that busy brain a break and get in touch with how you really feel about the intense times we’re navigating: ideally done solo and outdoors, then discussed when you’re comfortabl­e with someone you trust. This month’s takeaway? Finding ways to utilise circumstan­ces you didn’t choose like fertiliser for stronger, more resilient growth.

Leo JUL 24-AUG 23

With planetary confusions and ambiguitie­s making it tricky to tell friends from frenemies, loyalty could be an issue during March: as in who’s loyal to you, and what deserves your loyalty. No need to go Game of Thrones, though – Saturn, the planetary energy that matures you like a fine wine or fromage, insists on an adult approach. It’s natural to search for certaintie­s, and this month’s understand­ings arrive via that process. Note to self: getting opinions from a dozen others who share your views won’t be nearly as useful or informativ­e as listening to a few people with different experience­s, ideas and perspectiv­es.

Capricorn DEC 22-JAN 20

This month’s astral pleasure map renders happiness very much a personal affair and inside job.

Make regular deposits in your physical, emotional and soul accounts with fresh air, self-care and showing Team Capricorn how much you appreciate their support. As the current astrologic­al canvas asks you to contemplat­e the bigger picture outside your own bubble, are there ways you could share work by off-loading some you’d rather not do to someone who needs it? Or vice versa? No matter what’s happening, keep those Goaty feet on terra firma, because your 2021 growth spurt kicks off from March 21 onwards…

Virgo AUG 24-SEP 23

Virgo’s ruling planet Mercury operates most accurately via logic for the first half of March; intuition during the second half. So broker a workable balance by taking care of the heady stuff first this month. Speak clearly and simply, and people will appreciate your not leaving them wondering. After mid-month, relax the heavy mental lifting and let inspiratio­n take you where it will. Surrender to beauty, imaginatio­n, creativity. Let your wilder side out to play. While your natural compassion is peaking, giving a little roadside assistance to someone who’s flagging will soon see what you put out bounce back in surprising and delightful ways.

Scorpio OCT 24-NOV 22

The present planetary emphasis on home, security and your inner circle finds you embracing your space this March, discussing creative ways to live simply, beautifull­y and economical­ly. Perhaps you’ll consider a family-based business, or an enterprise that benefits families. As shelter requiremen­ts and lifestyle options fluctuate, this month stresses the importance of building a reliable, nurturing support team – whether that’s a social, spiritual or profession­al group. While Saturn plays the long game, Jupiter offers bouquets of interestin­g possibilit­ies in the shape of inspiring new people coming into your orbit.

Aquarius JAN 21-FEB 19

With expansive Jupiter and structured Saturn travelling through your sign of social technologi­es, it’s worth revisiting the words of pioneering systems engineer Buckminste­r Fuller: “We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims.” When ingenious Mercury joins the celestial congregati­on in Aquarius, you’ll be talking big ideas: actually talking anything and everything under the sun and moon. Negotiatin­g a deal? Put it on the table in the first fortnight if you can. On a personal note, what’s Venus up to this month? Roller-coasting from meltingly romantic to boldly bodacious with every mood in between – enjoy the ride!
