Cancer

Cancer (Ruling Planet: Moon; Element: Water) Everyone says you’re overly emotional, Cancer. And it’s true. But your emotions also fuel every aspect of your otherwise creative, intuitive, spontaneous, loving and protective personality. And you are generally a faithful friend, Moonchild. You motivate and persuade others easily. But the Crab is moody and unbalanced. You fluctuate between clingy and icy, depending on your mood and how pessimistic you’re feeling that day.

There’s a lot of activity in fellow water sign, Pisces, this month, and this will be the a perfect time to enthusiastically use your imagination, come up with big ideas, and share inspiring, funny stories. Mercury, the ruler of communication, entering Pisces on March 5th will fuel this way of thinking, while Mars in Sagittarius on the same day gives you the energy to complete the small tasks you might’ve forgotten about last month. These little projects will be easier to complete if you make lists, establish a routine, and keep track of your responsibilities, you busy little worker bee, you!The solar eclipse in Pisces only a few days later (March 8th), and this is the most opportune time to embrace new experiences, risk-taking, traveling, and learning. These things will bring you a lighter heart and a little joy, especially during the energy of a solar eclipse.

Venus joining Mercury in Pisces on March 12th, encourages this passionate, bold version of you, though the planet of love in this location may have you less clingy with any romantic partners, but still as passionate. You’re a water sign after all.The Sun and Mercury delve into Aries on the 19th and 21st, and this bring rewards (if you’ve been responsible and hardworking, especially in the last 6-9 months), and will urge you to plan for your future. The second eclipse of the month, on March 23rd in Libra, will mark the end of some of the familial issues you’ve been dealing with in the last couple of years. This is your chance to move on and up, and make peace with some of the bad memories you associate with whatever “home” or “family” means to you. Don’t let Saturn retrograde on the 25th stall any of your hard work and progress.

Your March Trax:

To match Pisces’ enthusiastic influence on you this month, try listening to storytellers à la Kate Nash (yas Made of Bricks is so great, but Girl Talk is equally insistent). If you need to go a little sleepier, Lisa Hannigan’s album Passenger is perfect in every sense, plus she’s playing Boston Calling in May. And if you never listened to Laura Marling’s 2015 album, Short Movie, don’t worry; you still have time and plenty of opportunities, according to the stars.
