March 2 may be an iffy day. Miscommunication is possible with a sibling or neighbor, so be vigilant about the way you write and speak If things do go south, just walk away rather than getting involved in an argument.
Thanks to the trine between the sun in Pisces and Mars in Cancer, the 8th should be a more stable day. You and a family member or someone else within your person environment see eye to eye on something you’re doing behind the scenes – a gig, a commitment.
Two events on March 14 make today a weird and perhaps challenging day. At 2:55 a.m. ET, there’s a lunar eclipse in Virgo, trined by Uranus in Taurus. At 11:46 pm PT and at 2:46 AM ET on 3/15, Mercury turns retro in your sign, Aries. Big ouch. So the 14th and 15 kind of melt together.
