March is bringing pivotal shifts that will challenge everything you thought you knew about yourself — between Venus and Mercury retrograde and the first eclipse season of the year, one thing’s for sure: get ready for transformation!

March is coming in hot with Aries energy, retrogrades, and an eclipse season that will wake you right up (if you weren't unable to sleep already...).

The month also begins with Venus—the planet of love, connection, and values—going retrograde in Aries on March 1. The lengthy Mars retrograde that began last December finally ended last month and this can feel like another setback or blow to our morale.
