Planetary events for March mainly deal with transits of Venus in sidereal Aquarius and Mercury in sidereal Pisces on March 7. And Sun in sidereal Pisces and Mars in sidereal Aquarius on March 15.
The personal planet Venus is likely to favor the month (beginning March 7) for those who have Venus favorably placed in their natal chart and presently have Venus active in their Gochar (transit) chart, and especially not born under Virgo, Leo or Taurus ninefold (Navamansa) ascendant. For instance, if Venus is favorably placed in the 11th house of the natal chart then it’s likely that the person would enjoy relationship/romance, good times with friends and financial gains.
Similarly the personal planet Mercury is likely to favor the month (beginning March 7) for those who have Mercury favorably placed in their natal chart and presently have Mercury active in their Gochar (transit) chart, and especially born under Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius ninefold (Navamansa) ascendant. As an example, if Mercury is favorably placed in the 5th house of the natal chart then the person is likely to enjoy being popular among his peers, boost in creativity and recognition.
The ingress of Mars in sidereal Capricorn continues until March 15. Being a sign of exaltation, Mar’s transit is always significant in Capricorn. Capricorn is a cardinal and an earth sign ruled by Saturn. This is where Mars finds the balance between the impulsive nature and steadiness, between dynamic nature and patience, between child’s ambition and matured person’s wisdom.
Another important planetary event that began on January 27 is Uranus turning direct in its motion in sidereal Aries. As a result, the uncertain and fuzzy picture of political landscape in the United States as well as confusion in international politics and affairs that include both the Ukraine-Russia and Israeli-Hamas wars is likely to fade away and a clear picture likely to emerge.
Mars ingress sidereal Capricorn
Mars entered sidereal Capricorn on February 5, and it will transit through Capricorn till March 15. Being a sign of exaltation, Mar’s transit is always significant in Capricorn. Capricorn is a cardinal and an earth sign ruled by Saturn. This is where Mars finds the balance between the impulsive nature and steadiness, between dynamic nature and patience, between child’s ambition and matured person’s wisdom.
For individuals, placement of Mars in their natal charts is important. The most favorable houses for Mars to occupy are tenth, eleventh, sixth and the third. The most challenging houses would be the first, fourth, seventh, eighth and twelfth. However, for exalted Mars, almost all houses can be positive unless its energy is blocked by the adverse planets. The favorable houses become more favorable and the challenges are almost reduce to zero in unfavorable houses.
For those who have Scorpio, Leo, Pisces and Aries as their ninefold (Navamansa) ascendant are very much likely to enjoy this six weeks period with success, recognition, victorious over adversaries and pretty much things going their way.
At collective level, Mars in Capricorn means very active and brisk period for political leaders, entrepreneurs, military personnel and leaders in almost all fields. It’s also a very event driven period that would likely to leave its mark for a long time.
With Uranus direct in Aries a clear picture emerges in world affairs.
On January 27, Uranus became direct in motion in sidereal Aries. Therefore, going forward the uncertain and fuzzy picture of political landscape in the United States as well as confusion in international politics and affairs that include both the Ukraine-Russia and Israeli-Hamas wars is likely to fade away and a clear picture likely to emerge with in few weeks as it takes about couple of weeks for the stagnant Uranus to pick up the speed. I wouldn’t be surprised if the obstacles for the aid from the United States to Ukraine and Israel wars disappear as both parties in the congress come together and clear the way for the aid.
At collective level, the ongoing presidential politics of both the Republican and Democratic parties will start picking up the speed culminating by the end of May as Uranus then will be leaving the sidereal Aries and entering the next sign Taurus. A lot of surprises in the US politics are likely to emerge. During the same period politics of the United Kingdom is also likely to take a center stage in world affairs.
At individual level, for those who have a reasonably well placed Uranus in their birth charts and have Aquarius, Scorpio, Cancer or Gemini as a ninefold (Navamansa) ascendant will likely to experience a sudden change in their daily routine as the things that were stagnant start moving forward, especially if Uranus is active in their transit charts.
President Biden’s challenges in March
For President Biden, politically, March looks to be a favorable month, especially the second half during which his popularity starts rising, success and prestige follows, and his future prospects start looking better.
Due to a favorable placement of the transiting ninefold Pluto the political environment looks to be very positive. His popularity is likely to rise. Success and recognition will follow and in general he is likely to feel pretty good about his future prospects.
As for Venus, the entire month continues to be favorable for him from the personal and family happiness standpoint.
From the Sun’s energy point of view, however, until March 14, he may have to deal with health issues and stress caused by his adversaries. But after March 14, Sun’s transit turns favorable for the rest of the month assuring political success, rise in popularity and recognition.
As for the transiting planet’s interaction with his natal chart, the transiting Pluto continues to sextile his natal Sun and Venus, and opposes his natal Jupiter. Given the Sun’s current transit, especially after March 14, it’s politically very favorable.
In summary, March looks to be, politically, a favorable month, especially the second half during which his popularity starts rising, success and prestige follows, and his future prospects start looking better.
