March comes with changes and transitions according to the stars, and our astrologer-in-chief Alex explains in detail what that might mean for us in the month ahead. Along with her forecast, she highlights some medical cannabis products to consider and upcoming events to check out in Ohio:
MARCH COMES MARCHING IN: FIRST DAY OF SPRING, ECLIPSE
March welcomes the first day of spring as well as the first Eclipse of the year. This is the first month of the year that changes become most apparent: Pisces after all is a Mutable Sign, marking a transition. In our restlessness, we embark into the fiery domain of Aries. No planets Retrograde this month, so it's full speed ahead.
PISCES AND ARIES RULE THE SCENE
For the first part of the month, mild activity is forecasted. It's not until March 9th when Mercury progresses ahead to the sign of Aries do we see the first transition sign to sign. The following two days also see tides of change. Venus ingressing into Pisces on March 11th, a New Moon the day prior. Unlike last month when Pisces played with Fixed Air Sign Aquarius, this month it's playing with fire – literally. Aries is the first of the zodiac signs in chronological order.
Aries represents the beginning of something. This is largely why the first day of this solar season corresponds perfectly with the first day of spring. The season when things are considered to "come to life" in our part of the world.
As nature awakens outside, so too can you bring the benefits of plantae to your medication routine. The Ananda Bliss Capsules contain infusions of functional mushrooms like Chaga, Lion's Mane, Cordyceps and Reishi. Partnered with soothing, stimulating and relaxing terpenes, there's three options for calming, boosting and night-time relief.
When Mercury moves into Aries's space on the 9th, our communication becomes invigorated. Aries is a very direct sign, which is generally associated with fire signs. With Mercury traveling through the sign of Aries, we may find ourselves starting new projects, a very Cardinal quality.
It's worth noting, however, Mercury will Retrograde next month. Arguments, ideas, passions and playfulness will need all the intention you can offer, otherwise you may be fixing mistakes later.
To go from air to fire, you must pass through the watery domain of Pisces. This is true for Venus, which makes an appearance in Pisces on the 11th. With Venus in Pisces, our romantic side softens a bit. Perhaps we find ourselves crying to a beautiful song, or extending conversations with loved ones a little longer. Venus in Pisces wants to love everyone, and everything. Use your imagination and honor your creative side.
FIRST DAY OF SPRING IS ASTROLOGY DAY
Spring, otherwise known as the Vernal Equinox, officially begins March 19. This happens to be the same day that the Sun ingresses into Aries. It's also International Astrology Day. As the Sun takes its place here, it joins not only Mercury but also Chiron and the North Node. The latter of these two indicate very spiritual, meaning-of-life aspects in astrology/
Though it will not be until April that direct connections are made, expect to feel an awakening with regards to what needs healed. This could be healing needed for yourself, a loved one, or the world at large – the options, and the needs, are endless.
The Sun is considered "exhaulted" in the Sign of Aries. This is because it's a Fire Sign, just like it's natural ruler, Leo. Unlike summertime Leo, the Sun is waking up in a cold sky as this is just the beginning (there's that word again) of rising temperatures to come.
For many cultures, this represents the beginning of the "new year" and is celebrated by feasting on breads, cakes, honey and fiddleheads. Incorporate an infused honey into your spread this spring like those from Hōn, which come in flavors like strawberry truffle and lemon cherry pie. More about Hōn here.
IS IT TIME TO START YOUR HOME GROW?
Others will celebrate the season by planting seeds, something we can now legally do with cannabis in Ohio! Gardening has a multitude of benefits including improved cognitive function as well as the boosting the immune system, improving muscle strength and flexibility, and reducing blood pressure. Considering growing cannabis at home? We'll have a multitude of resources like seeds and clones for home growers to get started with at our upcoming Wellness & Cannabis Expo in West Chester on March 16th. It's free! Register here.
NEW MOON, FULL MOON, AND AN ECLIPSE
A New Moon will occur the same day as Daylight Savings Time this month on March 10. This 20-degree Pisces New Moon is positioned between two other planets in Pisces: Neptune at 27 degrees of and Saturn at 11 degrees.
The placement of this lunation between two very different planets can help materialize some magic in our lives. Neptune is the planet of high spirituality, Saturn the planet of form and structure. Flavor your intentions this season with ethereal wonder and a dose of reality for best results.
This month, on March 25, a Lunar Eclipse occurs during a Libra Full Moon at 5-degrees. This eclipse is a Penumbral Eclipse and will only dim the moon's light slightly. Think back to last October's New Moon and partial eclipse. This can help broaden the view of this month's lunation.
CBD FOR ADRENAL FATIGUE?
Together with Aries, Libra rules over the adrenal glands. These glands regulate a number of hormones including those that impact metabolism, blood pressure and stress. An article published by the International Institute for Cannabinoids suggested CBD as a strong candidate for treating adrenal fatigue symptoms. Though, as with much cannabis research, more studies are needed. High doses of CBD can be extremely beneficial despite not being as obviously felt as its psychoactive counterpart, THC. Adding a tincture to your routine can provide those benefits, like Dr. Solomon's CBD-rich tinctures which ease discomfort and promote relaxation.
If you keep a journal (a calendar or social media posts would work too!), I suggest looking back to October 14 for some clues for what you're closing out with this Full Moon. Back in October, it was a New Moon marking intention-setting. Now, a release is indicated. It's also important to note that this is eclipse re-activates the Cardinal Air/Fire Axis that leads to the epic April 8 Eclipse which will be seen in 100% totality to Ohio.
