Ah, March—the beautiful transition from winter to spring, when the clouds part and sunshine is revealed. Your March 2023 horoscope predicts a new era as Saturn enters the watery sign of Pisces on March 7, where it will remain until February 2026. Saturn loves structure, reality, responsibility and boundaries while Pisces loves to dream, imagine and transcend our material world for the spiritual. They are an odd pair and don’t often like to spend time together, but this new chapter will teach us how to love more deeply and effectively.

The last time Saturn was in Pisces was from 1993 to 1996, marking the fallout of the Soviet Union, the Rwandan genocide and the death of Kurt Cobain. Before that, Saturn in Pisces happened from 1964 to 1967, so we are talking about the Vietnam War, Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela—I think you get the picture.

Pisces and Saturn both bring endings, so we can expect this transit to bring some Tower card-like finality to structures we have come to rely on. In the Tarot, the Tower card represents abrupt changes that force us to regroup and shift our plans. This will allow us to plant new seeds in the soil. How this will impact you as an individual will depend on several factors in your birth chart. Whatever the case, this is a time to really face our beliefs, our spirituality and our escapist tendencies. Luckily, a Full Moon in Virgo will take place on the same day Saturn enters Pisces, encouraging you to work on solving problems rather than avoiding them.

Now, this transit isn’t going to hit us all immediately in March, so don’t expect your life to come crashing down on March 1. Begin this journey by thinking about the things that matter to you and what you have come to believe as true. Of course, Pisces season wouldn’t be Pisces season without us feeling our feelings and dreaming our dreams, am I right?

On March 20, Aries season begins, bringing with it that fresh spring feeling and the desire to make things happen. Aries wants us to turn a new leaf and take initiative. That drive laying dormant inside of you, the excitement and energy waiting there, will get a new spark at the end of this month.

The month ends on quite a cliffhanger, as Pluto—planet of creation and destruction—will leave behind Capricorn for the first time since 2008 on March 23.

The New Moon in Pisces on March 21 grants an opportunity to manifest this new beginning. This is a great time to do some candle magic or make a dream board. Don’t shy away from this month of fresh starts, go boldly forward and create what you desire for the world and for yourself!

The month ends on quite a cliffhanger, as Pluto—planet of creation and destruction—will leave behind Capricorn for the first time since 2008 on March 23. That means Pluto will enter worldly, humanitarian and forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will rearrange our priorities as a society and as a collective for the next 20 years. Plus, Mars in Gemini will *finally* come to an end on March 25, shifting gears as it enters sensitive, protective and passive aggressive Cancer. This is a powerful time to reexamine the way your emotions influence your actions.

Here’s what you can expect from March 2023 according to your sun and/or rising sign:
