Early March isn’t exactly subtle this year. There’s a lot of movement in the skies.
We’ve got heavy planetary shifts, a couple of tense aspects, and that strange in-between feeling as we move deeper into Pisces season while real fiery energy starts building in the background.
Not everyone will struggle, of course. But a few signs are likely to feel the pressure more than others.
Here are five zodiac signs that may have a bumpier start to March—and what to do about it.
1. Aries
Aries, early March can feel frustrating for you. You might sense a kind of irritation brewing within, building slowly because you want movement and clarity, and the Universe keeps handing you fog.
This isn’t your favorite place to hang out, since there’s a lot of internal processing going on, and it’s pulling you in. Early March wants you to pause and reflect and sit with things for a little while.
While that can be uncomfortable for you, it’s important to prepare for it. There’s no going around it. There’s no pushing through. In fact, doing that might undo the progress you’ve already made.
Prepare for tension when it comes to communication and plans not moving as quickly as you want.
Whenever Mars makes hard angles now, you’ll feel it in your body, and it will manifest through restlessness and impatience. You’ll feel like your fuse just got a lot shorter.
So, the key is not to force clarity. Whatever is taking its time, assume there’s a reason. There probably is.
Use this time to rest more than you think you need. You can also work out and move the energy physically so it doesn’t spill into other areas of your life.
Prepare quietly, and you’ll have your momentum back soon enough.
2. Cancer
Cancer, while you’re usually safe and comfortable in Pisces season since it feels natural to you, early March brings a bit of emotional heaviness into the mix, which can certainly complicate things.
There will be pressure when it comes to responsibility and long-term plans. And for you, these things can be tricky because you care deeply, and you tend to carry other people’s emotions.
When things feel tense collectively like this, you absorb it, and it often overwhelms you.
There’s also potential stress around your home and family. It won’t be anything catastrophic, but it will take its toll on you. You may feel like you’re the only one holding things together.
Make sure to approach early March with a bit of restraint. Consider what’s yours to actually fix, and protect your emotional energy at all costs.
And be careful with late-night overthinking because it can spiral faster than usual right now.
3. Virgo
Virgo, you’re in the direct line of fire.
There’s a lunar eclipse in your sign on March 3, which is a big deal. It conceals and reveals at the same time and might trigger endings or beginnings in significant houses.
You’re also dealing with a lot of Pisces energy here, which is messing up your usual instincts. Basically, you won’t be able to rely on logic alone. Early March requires finesse and emotional awareness.
Clarity is often what you feel you must have, but right now it’s hard to get, especially for you.
This tension creates vagueness that makes early March very frustrating. And it’s not because nothing happens, but because you want to understand what’s happening—but you simply can’t.
To prepare for this, focus on small personal changes. Do the small stuff like refining your routines and setting new boundaries. Don’t start anything new now. Simply nourish what you already have.
When this blows over and clarity returns, you’ll be rewarded for your persistence.
4. Sagittarius
Sagittarius, early March demands more restraint than usual. It’s an introspective period, and it’s going to pull you inward in ways you’d rather avoid. But all of this is necessary.
The beginning of the month increases emotional sensitivity in your inner world, and the Virgo lunar eclipse stirs unnerving introspection when it comes to your home and your roots.
Invitations to explore something new might feel hollow if you haven’t settled what’s going on inside first.
To make things trickier, your instincts will feel suspicious or foggy instead of clear. That’s a really uncomfortable combination for a sign that thrives on vision and confidence.
This isn’t all doom and gloom, though. You just need to retreat for a while and make sure your inner foundation feels secure before you jump to something else.
So take the time to ground yourself emotionally. Slow down and reconnect with what actually feels real instead of what just sounds exciting.
5. Pisces
Pisces, you’re in the thick of it in early March. There’s a lot of intense energy flowing around in a space that’s not naturally structured.
You’re feeling everything deeply, and all of this will take its toll on you.
The early March eclipse won’t spare you, either, and it will shine a light on your relationships, and potentially complicate things.
For you, early March is very personal, emotional, and deeply reflective. While you can thrive in chaos like this, there’s more confusion this time around.
You’re going to feel torn between acting on impulse and needing clarity before you move.
There’s pressure to figure it all out, but things won’t make sense right away. You need patience.
Still, Pisces, you can emerge stronger on the other side as long as you let these fluctuating feelings inform you rather than fuel your decision-making.
