March 2019 Horoscopes for Actors

We’ve been in a luminous haze of the Sun’s transit through feeling-it-all Pisces, absorbing a sense of humor at the sheer overwhelm of the seemingly insurmountable and offering a welcome drift from all the seriousness. Adding some more ridiculous plot twists is Mercury’s plan to retrograde on March 5 (until March 28), nebulizing our best-laid plans and communications.

The most telling turn of the cosmos is when Uranus (upset, revolution, liberation, progress) plugs into the sign of Taurus (earth, stability, finances). If this seems like an awkward, potentially ground-shaking transit...it is. Expect rebellion and revolution when the genius, free-thinking planet wakes up our beliefs and practices around money, security, and Mother Earth. And if you’re a Taurus or this planet squares your Sun sign (Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio), hang on for an exciting ride. The revolution on both a personal and global level is perfectly timed and like most Uranus transits, it’s about being open to the unexpected and arriving at out-of-the-box solutions for progress.

Our hunger for romance and relating takes on an airy, group-date Aquarius vibe starting March 1 as Venus moves into this cerebral, stand-out sign and gives us an appetite to connect with a variety of people, showcase our ahead-of-the-curve ideas, and celebrate our weird. Currents are strong this month and with the Pisces energy and retrograde coming, the life raft is an inner sense of calm, acceptance, and knowing we’ll be shown the way out of the storm in due time. We spark up as the Sun launches into the springtime of Aries on March 20 (coinciding with a dramatic Full Moon), and we’re ready to shake some things off and move to higher ground.

For the full skinny, be sure to read your Sun and Rising sign!

JUMP TO

Pisces (Feb. 19–March 20)

Happy birthday, Pisces! You’ve been at the center of the cosmic drift, relying on your well-honed sense of intuition to prioritize your energy. The month will pull you every which way, so the more you can tune into what would really feel good to place at the top of your list, the more likely the cosmos will bend to your inner rutter.

Mercury is going retrograde in your sign, meaning you’re defined by the Messenger planet’s busy, endless to-do’s and in a position to have to constantly adjust your sails. But you’re incredibly adaptive and great at seeing the silver lining which will serve you well this month.

Neptune in your Sun is amplifying your natural state of feeling and imagination but also making your boundaries more permeable. You may find it easier to drift into different characters with this shape-shifting energy—a potential boon for your art form. Conversely, you are being asked to define yourself in a group or community, which may mean setting some much-needed boundaries. Rehearsing your “absolutely not, thank you anyway” may be necessary to conserve your energy for said shapeshifting in service of your craft. Your heart is in your creativity and sense of play (North Node in Cancer on March 5) and the more you can explore ways to step into that, the more full you’ll feel. Look forward—especially March 26—to when magnetic Venus enters your sign and romance moves up the ladder and set intentions early in the month on the New Moon of March 6 in your sweet sign.

Aries (March 20–April 19)

Uranus, wake-up-call planet of the unexpected, is leaving your sign for your good after eight years of shock and awe. This sigh of relief has been coming after reshaping long-term goals and plans and leaving you with a better sense of what you’re made of. The Sun’s drift through sweet, impressionable Pisces may be an odd fit for your prodigious, catch-me-if-you-can energy, but the cosmos want you to take a spiritual respite this month.

Mercury is also retrograde, hamstringing productivity on new projects and forcing you to roll with the unexpected. With fun-loving Jupiter making a flowing angle to your Sun, some lighthearted adventure seems just what the astrologer ordered. When the Sun moves into your sign on March 20, you’ll be back to your old tricks again. In the meantime, take stock of what you’ve created and use some of that Venus-in-Aquarius vibe to cement recent career wins with some follow-up emails to your creative team. A Full Moon in Libra on March 20 is a great night to plan something big (knowing, of course, that Mercury is retrograde and everything will change).

Taurus (April 21–May 20)

You’re blessed with the persevering energy of Mars in your sign, giving you just enough spark to keep lit and on task even with the whirlpool of Mercury retrograde and the Sun and Neptune fogging the way. Long-term plans materialize nonetheless through the help of your creative tribe of artists, free-thinkers, and misfits.

Communication from the heart—be it “I’m sorry” or “I hear you”—will work much better than old, perfunctory pragmatic responses where you may mistake opinions as hard evidence. While your no-nonsense approach can help curtail needless drama, there can be a tendency to miss nuances or take too broad a view. This is the month (and year) to get into “those” conversations and seek feedback on your ideas. What is best of all involved? Restraint may be needed and this month may serve to help see where your aim needs to be changed just a degree or two. The help is there if you’re open to it!

Change-maker Uranus moves into your stability-loving sign on March 6 and you’re ready to show the world who you are and what sets you apart from your old persona. You’ve probably already jumped the gun with a haircut but any changes you’re compelled to make, even on the most superficial level (Uranus in the 1st House of persona), help people get a sense of the new, refreshed you.

Gemini (May 21–June 20)

This month, you’ve got action in your House of Career, though it could be a bit of smoke and mirrors with the Mercury retrograde being part of the planetary trifecta with the Sun and Neptune. If you feel like you’re in a holding pattern or getting more than your fair share of “on-avail” status, do nothing. You look best glowing and taking it all in stride, knowing that what passes through your fingers is just making space for a bigger win.

Pluto and Saturn continue to tear defenses in your 8th House of Intimacy, perhaps bringing up pockets of fear, loathing, and fascination with your deep inner self and the people that help you get there. Effervescent Venus offers some levity as this relationship-oriented love magnet moves into gregarious Aquarius and your 9th House of adventure on March 1. This could be a high-profile month even if you don’t do anything special as planets passing through the 10th House help us get seen.

Past works could also have a way of giving you some credit where credit is (past) due, an instance where Mercury retrograde works in our favor. The guiding star of your chart, represented by the North Node in Cancer, continues to remind you to speak from the heart, use your words, and keep asking questions without necessarily knowing what the answer is. You’re keeping us on our toes, Gemini, and we’re enjoying the show!

Cancer (June 20–July 22)

You get along swimmingly with the Sun, Neptune, and Mercury in fellow water sign Pisces, bringing a sweet flow to your 9th House of travel and adventure. You’re wanting wide open pastures or a seaside retreat as nature may be the only thing that will satisfy your romantic wanderlust this month. You may find yourself in the presence of spiritual gurus or lots of yoga classes that confirm your belief there is magic and meaning just beneath the surface of tension, as the Mercury retrograde reminds you of the limitations of reality.

You are due to let off a little steam, especially on March 6 when the Sun and Neptune combine for maximum disco ball effect. Coincidentally, that falls on the same day as the New Moon so before you escape to Neverland, make sure to set some solid intentions around the otherworldly adventure you’d like to invite in. Uranus does the electric slide into Taurus, landing in your House of Friends and staying there for the next seven years. This can revolutionize your community, bringing exciting opportunities to network with future colleagues who help you shape and arrive at a refreshed dream. Either way, it looks as if an exciting new crop of people—perhaps of the earthy, artistic, counter-culture variety—may be involved in this shakeup Mars is also lighting up this social house this month, so get out of the living room, Cancer...there are people to meet! On or around March 14, 20, and 26 are the dates that show the most promise.

Leo (July 23—August 22)

Your 8th House of sex and your saucy inner self is lit up by the trio of Mercury, Neptune, and the Sun, meaning you’ll be feeling a little more fascinated by secrets, either yours or someone else’s. This can certainly set a mood but be in the spirit of discovery as Mercury is retrograde (what you see is not always what you get!) and with Pisces energy, feelings can come and go. When the fog clears at month’s end, you’ll know what’s real and what, if anything, is left after the deep dive into the sea of feeling.

Meanwhile, stubbornly feisty Mars in Taurus rips across the top of your chart, perhaps bringing a shining moment of boldness to your career scene. And the moment continues as Uranus, planet of unexpected change and revolution, is heads for this same public sector of your chart for the next seven years! If people thought they had your type pegged, guess again. You may even be surprised by what’s turning heads in your direction these days. Stay open to opportunities to bring more of your revolutionized self to the world at large. You may have to be willing to step out on the ledge—Uranus loathes our comfort zone—but it’s the thrill of being an answer to what the collective craves that thrills you.

Virgo (August 23—September 21)

Surprises can make Virgo nervous, but Uranus, planet of the unexpected, is heading into your 9th House of travel and higher education. Luckily, the revolutionary change-maker is making a supportive angle so it shouldn’t be anything too rip-roaring. You may find that you’re dissatisfied with the status quo and that could make you either want to pursue an educational track that allows you to change it or perhaps get out of town to shoot conscious content with a threadbare crew and a dream. The baseline is you’re feeling gutsy and interested in gaining some fresh experience by doing something out of the norm.

A romantic glow is lighting up your 7th House of one-on-one partnership, although things could feel a little diffuse with the Sun, Neptune, and Mercury retrograde in dreamy, evasive Pisces. People are acting as mirrors, so be prepared to be shown the best and less best about you as you interact with partners. You may be in the mood to deeply bond, but someone may feel just out of reach. However, even if someone was right there, it’s hard to satiate the sort of romantic craving that a Sun/Neptune in Pisces hungers for. This “high” may be best reached through art or dramatic love scenes on the big screen.

Your friend Mars in Taurus is giving you oodles of perseverance in your 3rd House of communication, so you won’t shy from research, spirited discussion, and collecting the information you need to get on your way. You may also want to bring things up in the moment, rather than letting anything fester. The only thing Virgos hate more than surprises is confrontation and Mars-in-Taurus in the 3rd House favors you being forthright.

Libra (September 22—October 22)

Odds and ends in work may send you in hilarious circles if you keep a sense of humor about it. This is because the Sun, Neptune, and Mercury retrograde are dancing to the beat of their own drum in your 6th House of work, service, and health. While it may be necessary to close some loops and deal with a little tedium to increase productivity, ultimately this energy may be best applied to implementing self-care and creativity into your day-to-day routine. You’re realizing how important your spiritual health is and this Pisces energy can help you intuit practical solutions to get back to your balanced self.

Uranus, planet of shock and awe, is taking up residence in that area of your chart corresponding to sex, death, and other people’s money. There’s some inner resistance to change and transformation that Uranus will spotlight in its own trickster fashion (usually suddenly, without warning, with the purpose of you evolving to keep this fresh and honest). Venus, your favorite planet of sugar and spice and everything nice, will be sending lots of love to your 5th House of love affairs and creativity. Some fun evenings out kvetching with friends about what Uranus has in store for your sex life may be due. Don’t forget to celebrate on the beautiful Full Moon in your sign on Oct. 20, the same day the Sun bursts above the horizon into Aries and your romantic 7th House of partnership. Ooh la la!

Scorpio (October 23—November 21)

The consortium of Pisces planets blends well with your water sign and serves to add action and imagination to your house of love, recreation, and creativity. Taking a load off may be an understatement for what you feel like doing, as Pisces energy can seek the nearest escape, be it the bar or high art. Old lovers could return or old creative avenues revisited, but the idea is to use this richness as fuel for what you desire and enjoy the colorful zigzag of impulses that will flash across your screen. There’s still plenty of responsibility and serious, immediate commitments to focus on with the heft of Pluto and Saturn in your 3rd House of Communication and Commerce.

Getting ahead of emails, nailing the right tone, and seeing the world through an ambitious lens can be tiresome, but the balm for all this expertise-hunting is found in heartfelt adventures that allow you to scale back and absorb the big, beautiful view. Whatever instances of perspective you can get, the better.

It’s also worth mentioning that sexpot Mars in Taurus is hunting your companionship in the 7th House of relationships. Whether or not this corresponds in finding your twin flame (or just experiencing an uptick in your current situation), it suggests that divine appointments with fiery types are on the calendar whether you’ve scheduled them or not. If you haven’t felt your heart race lately, stay awake on March 6, 13, 14, 20, and 26.

Sagittarius (November 22—December 21)

Yes, lucky Jupiter in your sign is still making (most) things turn up roses for you. Don’t fret if you feel like your hedges were clipped this winter—it was so your blooms could grow back more resplendent than ever in the spring. The lucky planet is in your sign until December, so dust yourself off and get ready to grow. Just remember that Jupiter is both the planet of great gain and great loss, the latter only coming if we fail to act upon opportunity or talent simply because it comes just a little too easy to be trusted.

The Sun, Neptune, and Mercury retrograde are making a splash in your 4th House of Home and Family. You may be doing a lot of tinkering, space clearing and re-arranging due to such a build-up of imaginative energy here (although Mercury retrograde could include repairs or confounding domestic details coming to light). A beautiful New Moon on March 6 begs attention to this area, perhaps seeding creative ideas to bring the feeling of springtime into your physical space or even feeling like you have to say goodbye to things that have gone stale for you. This could be a bit of a pull-up-your-sleeves-and-get-to-work month with the energy of Mars in persistent Taurus in your 6th house of work and organization.

Money seems to be on the mind as well, and you’re looking squarely at any blind spots in earning and spending in the interest of financial empowerment. Venus, the planet of love, is sending some opportunities for brainy flirtations as she crosses into your 3rd House of Communication. If love is to be found, it looks like it’s right in your neighborhood...or the one you’re with.

Capricorn (December 22—January 19)

The change this month, Capricorn, is Uranus moving into a lovely angle to your Sun after being a frictional one for the past eight years. Changes are coming for us all but with the planet of shock and awe in fellow earth sign Taurus, it could be a little less stressful for earth and water signs. Also, the area where your Uranian wake-up call is ringing is your 5th House of love affairs, children, and creativity. Expecting the unexpected over the next seven years is a lot of this planet to ask but at the very least, be open to surprising yourself in your creative projects, your romantic selections, or attitude on children. It can be quite an exciting and vitalizing time, when we’re asked to revolutionize how we show up in certain areas of our life.

Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde is causing you to backtrack and stay flexible when it comes to your day-to-day schedule. When the Sun moves into Aries on March 20, you’ll be feeling fierier but until then, it’s best to respond to people who reach out to you rather than pushing yourself into anyone’s inbox unless, of course, you’re tracking down copy, credit, meals or cash from an old project, as Mercury retrograde loves blasts from the past. Seed intentions (especially around writing projects) on March 6.

Aquarius (January 19—February 18)

Venus moves in, Aquarius! A certain seductive charm envelops you in the month of March as the planet of love and beauty chooses you until dropping you like a bad habit on March 26. Eat it up!  

In other news, Uranus is moving into your 4th House of Home and Family for the next seven years, meaning you’ll feel this change-seeking planet down to your roots. This could translate as yearning for a change of scenery as you’re ready to shake things up and look at what really makes you tick from the inside, out. Mars is also charging through this private sector of your chart this month, so expect a lot of action around the home. Finding a healthy way to vent all this hot energy and get in touch with entrenched layers of feeling and instinct is key.

Lucky Jupiter continues to bring helpful people your way and highlight community that believes in your long-term hopes and dreams. There may be a bit of a reshuffle this month. This is not to confuse you—more to shake out any accumulated dust so you can burst into spring. Keep your sense of humor as Mercury will be retrograde and test your attachment to old, sure things, from income streams to physical objects. The universe is trying to make you look at the inner picture so you can more accurately draw the map of a long-term plan.
