An online ephemeris for the month is available.
To a first approximation, March is one long, aimless transition period. There's a lot of volatility, with the waveform changing markedly every few hours or days, but no solid storms or other patterns -- a truck load of one damn thing after another. Kind of like watching the TV late at night after the station has gone off the air. There's not much variation in the intensity levels all month, as there are low to moderate energies (302 to 465 units) the entire time -- a month with no "oomph" to it. The harmonics tend to be "static-y" quite often, including an unusual amount of H36, a lazy and unfocused influence. No "pattern" persists longer than 3-5 days, if that, so the following description is rather fractured and tentative.
Mar 1st to the 4th |
The 1st to the 4th is a continuation of the stronger pattern that closed out February. The waveform is caught between 360 and 433 units of strength (moderate) and the harmonics are mostly H24 and H48 -- a difficult, but not overwhelming time. The energies are most concentrated around 10-11 and 28 degrees of each zodiac sign -- check where this hits your birthchart. There's a lot of amp-ed up mental energy in the air, creating a feeling of ungroundedness and much frenetic activity that exaggerates the general craziness of our time. There's also a marked Mars influence, which adds a determined and even belligerent edge to this energy. The 2nd is also a new moon which sets the tone for the remainder of March, so check out new influences that enter your life after the weekend. It's best to stay calm and not believe anything you're told (even by yourself!) at first. Take time for a few deep breaths now and then.
Mar 5th to the 8th |
The 5th to the 8th is mostly a transition time, although the 6th-7th is a more intense period. Intensities are 344 to 420 units, while harmonics include H12, H36 and H6. The strongest areas of each sign are 2-5 and 19 degrees. The amp-ed up feeling continues in the background, while Venus is aggravating the Saturn-Pluto opposition (last month's "axis of evil") during this time. Notice that Uranus is going to sleep these days, as though our intuition and insight is going underground, just as the unconscious pressure cooker is heating up. Feel the stresses building up and acknowledge their presence, but don't necessarily act on them. Compulsive actions now will make for a lot of trouble later on.
Mar 9th to the 11th |
The 9th to the 11th is stronger and more difficult, again. The waveform is in the 362 to 447 unit region, with harmonics of H24, H6, H4 and H36. Focal points lie at 8 and 20 degrees. Two big things to watch out for: Uranus moves into Pisces and the Sun-Pluto square, both on the 10th. The Moon, going over Saturn, makes it a T-square on the 11th. This T-square may be quite troublesome, as influences that have been bubbling under the surface, but contained or ignored, reach a flash point and burst into view. It can be a very crazy, neurotic time, but at least the problems can no longer be stuffed in the closet.
Mar 12th to the 15th |
The 12th to the 15th is probably the weakest period all month. The waveform dips to the 302 to 436 unit level, with harmonics of H36, H12 and considerable noise -- low energy and chaotic. Points of emphasis are at 12 and 22 degrees. The T-square is still active and we're likely coping with the fallout from it now, but some of the harsher effects may be softened by the Venus-Neptune conjunction on the 12th. There's a need to mellow out and space out the tension, although the stressful feelings may be hard to shake now. Relax, yes, but don't delude yourself if genuine problems must be faced. It's easy to postpone action these days.
Mar 16th to the 21st |
The 16th to the 21st almost resembles another storm. There's not much energy here (327 to 438 units), but the harmonics of H24, H4, H8 and H6 indicate a shift to harsher patterns. The taller peaks are at 10 and 22-24 degrees. As we head into the full moon, we are entering one of the most pivotal times of early 2003. There's a wide, but very potent Grand Cross at the full moon. Not to mention Pluto is effectively standing still already, and Uranus is about to wake up from his nap -- all at the equinox, as the Sun and Mercury enter Aries! This chart could set the tone for the next 3 months, so heads up! Any actions begun now will have unintended consequences later. It's better to deflate your compulsions than feed them -- don't get caught up in the whirlwind we're in. Stay grounded.
Mar 22nd to the 27th |
The 22nd to the 27th is a long drifting period, without much focus or ambition. The intensity levels are 330 to 459 units, while the harmonics (H36, H12, noise) indicate a lazy trend. The parts of each zodiac sign around 7, 10-13 and 22-24 degrees are particularly affected. Despite the laid back appearance of this waveform, this period is overshadowed by the Pluto station on the 22nd-23rd, though the Jupiter-Saturn octile on the 27th is no slouch either. Passions may be at a fever pitch these days, creating a rush to ill-conceived action. It's probably a good idea to keep a low profile, unless there's a matter of principle involved, since people are simply wound too tight lately. There may be a sense of crisis, as the results of previous actions come to light. Hold back from the herd mentality.
Mar 28th to the end of the month |
Finally, the 28th to the end of the month (and into early April) is perhaps the strongest period all month. The waveform increases to the 351 to 465 region, with harmonics (mostly difficult) of H48, H36, H8 and H4; H24 is growing in prominence towards April. The 0-1, 13-15 and 20 degree areas are particularly powerful. The role of the new Piscean Uranus should be quite apparent now, as it affects us on a very down-to-earth level. I'd recommend holding your tongue these days, as anger is just under the surface for us all. Not all surprises are pleasant ones, but try to look on the bright side anyway. This may be a very quirky time for relationships, with Venus on top of Uranus (both conjunct and parallel) on the 28th. Your partners may throw you for a loop. Stay optimistic (which is easy with a trine between Sun and Jupiter). Things change again after the new moon on April 1.
