March
The name March is derived from the Latin word Martius (named after Mars, the Roman god of war). Martius was the name of the first month in the original Roman calendar.
March is a game changer month where we will be starting a brand new chapter on our journey–individually as well as collectively. As we wrap up the astrological year, we are getting ready for a shift, that catapults us into the next cycle of growth by empowering who we are now.
A New Cycle
March brings transformational, chapter-turning transits that spark the beginning of a new cycle. The entire month carries a shape-shifting energy, offering profound shifts and triggering our hunger for truth, wisdom, awakening, and soul healing. We may start to feel the past dissolving into the distance while a new reality begins to take form.
Astrologically, March is one of the most important months of the year, with the upcoming Spring Equinox marking the astrological New Year. Not only are we starting a new cycle, but this moment also serves as the perfect opener to a brand-new season: Spring.
This month allows us to quietly wrap up a one-year cycle with all its growth and lessons. As we sift and sort through our inner and outer worlds, we can feel a new identity emerging from within—just as we start to sense shifts on our collective horizon.
We officially entered the Age of Aquarius in January 2024, opening a chapter of expected shifts around Aquarian themes such as humanitarian values and community. Slowly, we are moving away from outdated structures and norms, challenging the old paradigm, and working toward birthing a revolutionary new age for humanity.
Individually, we have been preparing for these massive shifts for a long time. As we step into the Astrological New Year at the Spring Equinox, we are further supported in taking the next steps in writing this new chapter of our lives.
Play with the Idea of who you are
March is a good time to reconnect with our internal anchor to steady ourselves during this period of great change. Practicing self-care—while also exploring who we are now—is at the forefront as we adapt to our new chapter.
This is the perfect time to fine-tune the small habits and nudges that create the best conditions for growth. By doing so, we can better embrace the potent opportunities for clearing, healing, and up-leveling that come with the Spring season.
We are living through pivotal times. We are both the midpoints and the bridges of a new consciousness on Earth, anchoring into the wisdom we each hold while co-creating solutions collectively. This is why it is especially important to keep our thoughts and energy focused on a vision of what can be.
As we center ourselves through self-care, we fine-tune and calibrate the vessel that carries us through life’s ups and downs. By trusting that we are prepared to handle turbulence, we can move forward with heart-centered action toward our visions.
Self-care practices and rituals are not mere luxuries but essential tools for transformation, especially during times of change. They cultivate a deep reverence for the person we are becoming while honoring everything we have endured in the past few years.
Letting go to let in.
We have much to release before the new energies pour in. Throughout the month, try to remain steady and gentle with yourself.
Allow yourself to feel your grief and observe where something feels stuck and needs to surrender. We are emptying our cups so we can cross a potent threshold into the next phase of our lives, relationships, and roles in the world.
Overall, March is the perfect time to gather our self-care tools and practices to make healthier decisions for our lives.
Sift, sort, collect, and nurture your seedlings as you strengthen the structure of your earthly vessel—preparing to navigate the waters of change that arrive with the Spring Equinox.
Practice trust and believe in a friendly universe that conspires in your favor. Anchor into your heart through self-care and self-reverence as you embrace all that you can become through the coming transformational changes.
Spring season blessings,
March Rituals
Re-kindle your self-care practice(S)
March is the perfect month to rekindle the self-care practices that truly nourish you. After a long winter, it’s time to welcome the energetic shifts of Spring by prioritizing your well-being and refueling your energy. Take a deep breath, go for a walk to greet the returning birds, and find ways to calm your nervous system before rushing into the new season, with all its potential and the overwhelm of possibilities.
Self-care practices are the small yet powerful habits that help us center ourselves, find inner peace amid change, and navigate everyday stress and the complexities of life. They support us in making thoughtful personal choices and staying grounded.
Having a self-care practice is becoming increasingly important as the stressors of modern life continue to rise at a rapid pace. Without a conscious way to care for yourself and take the necessary daily actions to replenish your energy, it’s easy to lose momentum and fall into a cycle of exhaustion.
