March’s Energy: Pause, Reflect, and Reignite

Astrology isn’t just about tracking dates or deciphering what’s happening in the sky—it’s about understanding how those movements reflect and amplify our experiences. March invites us to reflect, regroup, and realign with what truly matters. Retrogrades encourage introspection, while Aries season sparks fresh energy for taking action. This is a month to honor the pauses as much as the breakthroughs and to trust that even delays serve a greater purpose.
