Strategic Overview for March
This month, leaders and decision-makers will notice a theme with the magical tools of calm and confidence, allowing you to quiet your mind and to open your heart. Your soul knows it’s supposed to lead the way, yet your mind doesn’t want to let go of its reign. However, your mind is fatigued and can’t function at the pace this year requires. From a business strategy perspective, this is a month for recalibration rather than acceleration.
Mercury retrograde absorbs most of your mental load for the month, halting your forward motion and taxing your patience. Yet, Mercury is your best friend to lessen the hold your mind has on you. Give your mind a break. The best advice for this month is to lighten up, take a step back, and breathe.
Cosmic Majors of the Month
- Mar 3 – Total Solar Eclipse
- Mar 10 – Jupiter direct
- Mar 15 – Ceres in Taurus
- Mar 20 – Equinox; Sun in Aries
- Mar 20 – Mercury direct, all planets direct until 5/6
Total Solar Eclipse: March 3rd
The Eclipse is the second lunar cycle in this seasonal pair, which began with an annular lunar eclipse. This first ecliptic part occurred on February 17th, kicking off the Chinese New Year of the Fire Horse. The tension in the Full Moon was to identify whether you’re feeding the white wolf (your future best version of yourself) or the black wolf (the version of you that’s defeated, obstructed or frustrated).
Once you recalibrate your daily thoughts, your actions follow suit. This Total Solar Eclipse closes the ecliptic cycle to ignite new beginnings to jumpstart your ingenuity.
Episode 259 of The Strategic Oracle dives deeper into the New Moon annular eclipse and the white wolf vs. black wolf leadership metaphor introduced at the start of this cycle.
Jupiter Direct: March 10th
Jupiter almost reached the end of Cancer when he stationed retrograde in mid-November. Since then, he’s traveled ‘backward’ to reach 15° Cancer. Now, that he’s at the midpoint of Cancer, he signals the need to find balance in your life. Cancer deeply desires roots, memories, traditions on the personal side and financial gains, investments in the long term, and relational sales for business.
Jupiter makes everything bigger when he’s in forward motion, but when he’s retrograde, he smothers his exuberance creating internal pressure. Think of pushing too much water into a small vessel. Will the vessel shatter or the water slow? The relief valve lets the water out while increasing the container. Expansion happens almost immediately.
Ceres in Taurus: March 15th
Ceres is fully aligned with the earthly energies, so finds comfort in the sign of Taurus.
Leaving Aries, you can form habits for wellbeing, nourishment and stillness. Ceres loves taking care of you and Taurus makes it easy. Think getting back to basics – nutrition, sleep, and movement. Take the next few months to establish excellent daily habits for self-care. The last time you experienced Ceres in Taurus was in late December 2021 through early February 2022.
Equinox & Mercury Direct: March 20th
Every Equinox is a balance point and this start of the new zodiac year coincides with Mercury getting back on track. You have the opportunity to take a breath, exhale, and sigh. Be still. Remember when things were slower, less immediate, and more spacious. Recreate this for yourself right now because the speed up increases for the foreseeable future. (I can’t snap my fingers fast enough to illustrate how fast things are going to be moving…)
This Equinox has a collective soul destiny component, giving everyone a chance to open their minds and take action that brings people closer together. Families, deep connections, and relationships can be healed right now.
Weekly Astrology
Week 1: March 2 – 8
There’s love in the air this week. New points of view bring fresh perspectives to create solutions, difficult conversations openings, and successful business ventures. Mercury doesn’t let you jump into new situations, however, taking a long-term view and making plans to begin things into alignment after the Equinox positions you for improved relations. Stepping bravely into your intuitive or creative ways lets you be original and innovative. Magic is in the energy and you can connect to potent power.
Carve out time this week to journal new ideas, embrace the nudges, and take notice of your heart’s desires. Think about actions you can take to make impact through your brilliance.
Week 2: March 9 – 15
Positive thoughts and strong emotional ties make you feel better about what’s happening in your life. Take this optimism for a spin to review your relationships, finances, and success strategies. Review your investment criteria, make plans for business changes, review contracts and network connections, and refine your outreach approach. Strategically, this is a powerful window for refining long-term positioning.
On the personal side, revisit what was going on for you in late July and early August 2025. There will be parallels, letting you revisit people or situations that were at the surface then; particularly family, home or heartfelt connections.
Week 3: March 16 – 22
The stars are active this week with a New Moon, the Equinox, and Mercury stationing direct after his 3-week trek. The positive outweighs any sudden changes. Everything happening this week is filled with good fortune, successful actions, and great intentions. Get social, take meetings, set up sales conversations, and set up negotiations after the 20th. This week can be distracting because everyone wants to get moving. Be discerning about the actions you take, the people you connect with, and the networking events you attend. Not every opportunity is aligned with your leadership trajectory. Your time is precious. Spend it wisely.
Take a quick rest, short vacation, or spa day at the end of the week. You deserve the respite before things move at the speed of light.
Week 4: March 23 – 29
The forward moving energy begins your 2026 luge ride in earnest. Meet obstacles with intention for positive action and gain momentum to step fully into your future. Universal support is ready for you to tap into its power. Use it to nurture yourself, be recognized, and get healthy. You need to succeed and will stop at nothing to take measures into your own hands.
Rewards are coming your way because hard work and diligence pay off. Leaders who stay disciplined now gain disproportionate leverage in Q2. Set your priorities and isolate yourself if others are triggering you. Abundance, creature comforts, and financial standing are given a boost this week.
There’s also a star configuration this week that last happened in 2012 and 2013 and won’t happen again until 2047. Take full advantage. You have unlimited power and discipline to push through obstacles, remove blocks and advance your own agenda.
Magical Moon Moments
The Moon is incredibly powerful as she moves the tides on earth. Think about that power for a moment. The Moon moves the ocean and since people are 70% water, the Moon moves each person whether you’re aware of it or not. The Moon is also amazingly personal as she represents your heart.
If you’d like to dive more deeply into the energies of the Moon, here’s access to a 4-part video series and related guide.
When the Moon moves through her phases, she gives you the ability to leverage her power for that part of her cycle. The Moon phases help manifest things you want, celebrate things you have and get rid of things you no longer want.
Here’s a summary of the phases and what you should do:
- The Full Moon is for taking stock in gratitude and refinement.
- From the Full to New Moon, it’s the time to celebrate, release and merge.
- The New Moon is for setting your strategy.
- From the New to Full Moon, it’s the time to manifest, appreciate and create.

💎 Wise Strategist
March frustrates you with its relationship focus and tendency to explore the whispers, soul nudges, and intuitive hits. You don’t love being pushed into things that aren’t comfortable for you. Yet, take this time to pursue excellence in how you deal with people and make connections. Extend your timing expectations and task completion goals. Build in moments to enjoy and take breath snacks throughout your days to let your wisdom unfold.
🔮 Intuitive Visionary
As long as you don’t let distractions get the better of you, March is actually a positive time. Let yourself be swept up in the positive influences, brilliant ideas, and inventive solutions. Counteract the frustrating trickery from Mercury by taking small steps, repeated actions, and detailed notes. Mercury is actually your advocate right now. Let this force ground your energy, balance your schedule, and create a reasonable exchange between work and pleasure.
🌎 Collaborative Explorer
Relationships are at the fore and you’re in the catbird seat. Rely on your super powers to help others navigate through this month. Teaching, guiding, and advising puts you in the leadership role. This time is made for you. Set time on your schedule for instruction, mentoring, and leading. Carve out space for YOU on your own teams and reach out to others to get into their groups, organizations, or networking events. These activities can launch your success.
💥 Ruling Warrior
The last week of the month is excellent for you, but the key is to get through the first 3 weeks. The good news? People want to get things moving. The not so good news? The energies aren’t helpful to keep things going. Don’t fall into the trap of frustrations, disruptions, or disturbances. These aren’t yours to solve. Keep your face forward and your eyes on your goals. Focus and discipline are still the best methods to achieve your goals. Get ready for the fastest forces to propel you throughout the remainder of the year.
🎨 Creative Superstar
You simply adore the first 3 weeks of the month, while everyone else is freaking out about the push and pull of wanting to get things done and running into road blocks, you’re in your best rhythm. Your energy naturally rides the waves of creation and stillness. Take full advantage of being aligned with the universal flow. Be as creative as you desire and then take big fat breaks to enjoy yourself in indulgent ways.
💖 Loving Alchemist
The power and magic in the universal energies is perfect for you right now. Sink in and deepen your intuitive connections. Take full breaths. Pursue aligned connections. Get your finances in order. The (re) of Mercury retrograde – review, refine, refresh, release, revisit – are all perfectly timed for you. Set yourself up for the greatest success by taking your time and gathering momentum. You can take forward motion beginning the last week of the month.
Closing Transmission
March treats you the way you want to be treated. Take note of what comes up for you and how it makes you feel, presses your thoughts, and affects your actions. Observation and perception are your best bets to make your way to the end of the month. Aligning your energy is half of your power equation. Let this month support you in lining up your energies.
Cheers to your power,
