Scorpio

Scorpio (Ruling Planet: Pluto; Element: Water) Scorpios are truly a mixed bag. You can be passionate, but resentful. You can be ambitious and determined, but manipulative in the process. And although the Scorpion is one the most faithful of the signs, you struggle with trust and possessiveness, with forgiving and forgetting. However, Scorpio, you are still indeed a true water sign— sensitive and intuitive. And your emotional strength is what sets you apart from every other sign.

With Mercury, Venus, the Sun, and a solar eclipse in Pisces during the first half of the month, it’s going to get wet and watery, and the little details might start to slip your mind… But it doesn’t have to be that way. While you might have trouble focusing, Pisces will also prompt your creativity, and you could appear more theatrical and charming around the 5th. When the planet of love shifts on the 12th, and the solar eclipse occurs in your love sector on the 8th, you’ll feel extra romantic, of course, but also extra fun and you might come off as more heartfelt. Use this time to play the field, as they say; it’ll be easier now to meet and charm new people. Financially, Mars in fiery Sagittarius at the start of the month will have you feeling more confident in yourself, and you should take your time with any decisions, but also treat yourself; You’ve earned it. As the weather (hopefully) heats up later in the month, so will the stars— the Sun crosses into fire sign Aries on the 19th, and Mercury leaves Pisces / enters Aries on the 21st. The Sun and Mercury in this position will help you git shit done toward the end of the month, and you’ll feel good about being efficient, organized and physically healthy around this time. Later, a lunar eclipse in Libra on the 23rd will mark the conclusion of dealing with issues from your past. Either you weren’t clear on some difficult emotional people or stuff in the recent past, or there were some subconscious issues that were dragging you down over the last couple years. This lunar eclipse puts the end of this baggage in sight. Work on clearing things up, letting go, and moving forward. And If someone doesn’t have your best interests at heart, don’t listen to their criticisms, especially around March 25th, and in the next 5 months as Saturn is in retrograde.

Your March Trax:

Since you got shit to do this month, some motivational music is coming your way. Something like Robyn’s 2010 album Body Talk should do the trick, if you’re looking to feed off her upbeat energy while tackling some under-the-surface emotional issues. My Brightest Diamond album This Is My Hand could have the same effect. If you haven’t listened to Some Feelings by Julia Nunes, her 2015 release– do it. That album is so freakin’ catchy and so freakin’ relatable. Similarly talented, but a little more experimental, Julia Easterlin’s music is worth a listen.
