March 2008 Forecast

Aries

Lovers (10 of Swords)

The road ahead offers two paths, and in order to go down one, you must turn your back on the other. You will have to make an important sacrifice this month to get what you want. There is no right or wrong choice, but your decision will certainly make a statement about what you value. Someone close to you will also be affected by this; remember that your actions reflect your motivations more than you think. The first of those two paths will be an offer around the 8th; take a moment to consider the consequences.

Taurus

Hanged Man (4 of Swords)

Although you may feel puzzled by a seemingly impossible situation, suspend your judgment and wait for a sign. Planning and plotting will not alleviate your stress, so there’s nothing to figure out right now. Find ways to calm your mind and you’ll realize the answer to your dilemma. This so-called “problem” is actually a blessing in disguise! Resist the urge to go for the easy solution, as it is only an illusion. The 10th serves you a foul ball; let it pass because a much better one is coming your way after the 13th.

Gemini

Hermit (Queen of Swords)

It’s important to balance your need for solitude with attention to your personal relationships. You need more time alone this month as you begin to scrutinize important matters. Be sure, however, to offer support to those who may feel neglected by you. It is important to stay focused on your goals, but it’s equally important to nurture your relationships. Around the 13th, a strong-willed woman may cause an upset. Be sure to choose your words wisely or they could come back to haunt you.

Cancer

Tower (9 of Cups)

Even when the walls come crashing down, there is always opportunity to rebuild, and sometimes the renovation is better than the original structure. Something you are emotionally attached to will be threatened this month, yet before you set out to save it, consider how losing it could actually improve your situation. After the fall, you may begin to see illusions you had been unaware of. Watch out for offers that are too good to be true. Around the 15th, you’ll be tempted to take the easy route, but beware: all that glitters is not gold!

Leo

Chariot (5 of Pentacles)

Hold fast to your dreams, come what may; this month your confidence will be tested as you confront some of your greatest fears. As you move closer to what you want, the stakes become higher. Finances are a main source of concern, and though it may feel hopeless, things will work out in time. The real test is to believe in yourself and your talents; don’t shortchange yourself by doubting your abilities. The week of the 17th is a great time to take action and stand up for what you believe in.

Virgo

Death (Page of Swords)

A message of impending misfortune is likely to land on your doorstep. This piece of information will be the catalyst for some major changes in your life. Keep in mind, though, the herald delivering the message has alternative motives. Do not fall victim to trickery. This is a test of your ability to manage under pressure. Composure, not retaliation, is key. In response to this predicament, hold your tongue, because gossiping now could cause controversy. The 19th is an optimal time for self-analysis: get a reading, see a therapist, or call a friend.

Libra

Temperance (2 of Wands)

Making a certain major decision doesn’t have to be as hard as you think, despite your current conflicting feelings about it. One solution involves blending what you consider opposites. It’s not this OR that, but rather this THEN that, or even this AND that. Look at the options available when you integrate both sides of the equation. You’ll discover an important detail around the Full Moon. Use this insight to create your vision. There is a secret side of you waiting to emerge, so don’t keep it hidden with meaningless excuses.

Scorpio

Judgement (6 of Pentacles)

How are you spending your time? What are you accomplishing? To whom are you giving too much, or too little? Where is your life headed? And, when is “someday?” Answering these five key questions will put your life in focus and inspire you to be responsible and accountable for your actions. To bring balance back into your life, you must be totally honest with yourself, in a loving and honoring way. Easter marks your resurrection; rise up and live with full awareness. Do something meaningful, acknowledge your special place in the world, and bring love to those who need it.

Sagittarius

High Priestess (8 of Swords)

There are times in life when we are captured by our own fears, drowned in our own despair, and baffled by our own thoughts. It is then that we must relinquish the need to know, figure it out, or solve it. Your current entanglement is less disastrous then you realize. You are trapped by a flood of negative thinking, and the more you brood, the worse you feel. After the 26th, the light will shine again and you’ll see what has been eluding you; simply observe, and the knots will loosen.

Capricorn

Wheel of Fortune (3 of Wands)

This should be an exciting month; something long in the making will show signs of fruition. There are still some loose ends that need to be tied up, though. The beginning of the month will present the first phase of this project, and an important person who will help synthesize things will show up. Be sure to network to meet people, get your name out there, and make a strong impression. By the end of the month, your plan will be in motion and you’ll be more settled.

Aquarius

Moon (8 of Pentacles)

Your new commitment is much harder to keep than you expected, and you may be feeling the weight of that responsibility. But keep in mind that this feeling is only temporary, and the work you’re doing will pay off in time. Self-discipline is another area that could use your attention. However, too much discipline, and you’re likely to act out destructively; not enough, and you may sabotage your efforts. The first week of the month will present some unexpected challenges, so be sure to remain focused and present, even if it costs you something.

Pisces

Devil (4 of Cups)

A pervading sense of ambivalence will creep into your life just when you think it’s safe. You’ve been putting too much emphasis on some form of security: a relationship, job or lifestyle. You don’t realize how much this is holding you back: you’re overlooking an opportunity right in front of your eyes. Sometimes concerns over safety prevent you from exploring the inner reaches of your soul—dive in! You’ll be offered something strange the weekend of the 7th. Before you dismiss it, consider how it could benefit you.
