Astrology Forecast March 20 – 26, 2023

Expect a busy week. This week will be a decisive, inspired, action-oriented time that will feel like the actual beginning of the New Year for many of us. If you have been procrastinating with your goals for 2023, or been putting off making important life decisions, this week’s planetary energies are bound to change that!

The hustle and bustle begins with today being very special date for astrologers and metaphysicians everywhere, as we are celebrating International Astrology Day! This special holiday is observed every year on the day of the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere (Autumn Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere). No matter where you are in the world, the length of day and night is equal today. The Spring Equinox also marks the beginning of a new astrological year, because the Sun moves into Aries today to mark the beginning of the Tropical Zodiac year.

The Aries Sun will revive us on many levels this week, as we cast off the pessimism, overthinking, indecision, and sometimes lazy vibes of Pisces, to enter a cycle of fiery creativity, passion, inspiration, and assertive action. The next four weeks can prove very fruitful and exciting for those who confidently embrace the energies of the new zodac year. Aries is high energy, upfront, and fast-paced, so make the most of this energy to propel yourself into new adventures.

To add to the excitement, tomorrow’s Aries New Moon will add further fuel to the fire to inspire fresh starts, clean slates, and new beginnings. This New Moon is the perfect time to set intentions for the rest of the year.

On Thursday, Pluto leaves Capricorn, for the first time since 2008, and enters Aquarius to set the scene for a period of power struggle, profound transformation and rebirth. Pluto will be pushing the envelope until early June, so it may be best to get out of idle mode and pay attention to the challenging energy shifts it will inspire during this time.

After seven months in indecisive Gemini, Mars enters Cancer on Saturday, liberating many of us from fickleness, and the inability to make decisions and take definitive action. Mars is the fiery planet of action, courage and passion, while Cancer is a cardinal sign known for initiating plans and implementing strategies. Time to fasten your seatbelt and step up.
