Happy March, Stargazers! Finally, the first hints of spring have arrived. Time to thaw out, roll up a joint, and see what the month of March has in store for you. There is a new moon in Pisces on March 2. Feelings! Communication! It’s all there for the first week of the month.

On March 5, Mars enters Aquarius. Mercurial energy will likely bring some of that good Pisces communication to a stand-still. Don’t sweat it though, because empathy and open conversation will be back in style when Mercury enters Pisces on March 9. There’s a full moon in Virgo on March 18, and finally — the big event — the Spring Equinox (and Aries season) rolls into town on March 20.

So, strap on your rain boots on the way to the dispensary and get ready for a flood of new feelings this spring.
