HOROSCOPE PUZZLES

By Joanne Madeline Moore

6-12 March, 2023

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

With the Full Moon in your daily routine zone, it’s time to prioritise, organise and stabilise. And avoid being too impulsive about a complicated issue – especially involving money, values, morals, or possessions. The Sun, Mercury, Neptune and Saturn encourage you to dream ambitious dreams for the future. Be inspired by fellow-Aries, pioneering feminist Gloria Steinem: “Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities.”

TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 21)

Bulls can blunder around being (unintentionally) insensitive. This week you need to be extra responsive to the needs of children, teenagers and close friends, otherwise Tuesday’s Full Moon could trigger a misunderstanding or an emotional meltdown. With Saturn leaving your career zone, professional matters are set to improve – as long as you aren’t ridiculously stubborn. The more flexible and understanding you are, the quicker things will improve.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21)

Mercury (your ruler) and the Sun link up with Uranus, which amplifies your changeable qualities, and your talent for being what you think other people want you to be. But Mars is charging through your sign, which encourages you to shine your authentic light for the world to see. Inspiring quote for International Women’s Day comes from Gemini entertainer Judy Garland: “Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.”

CANCER (June 22 – July 23)

On the weekend, compassionate Venus links up with dynamic Mars, which is in your humanitarian zone. So it’s time to roll up your sleeves and be proactive about helping others. Can you do some volunteer work, start a fundraiser, or organise a working bee? Inspiring quote for International Women’s Day is from actress Audrey Hepburn: “As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.”

LEO (July 24 – Aug 23)

Regal Lions love to live in the lap of luxury! Tuesday’s Full Moon activates your finance zone and encourages your tendency to be hasty with cash and careless with credit. Then penny-pinching Saturn shifts into one of your money zones. So, clever Cats will resist the temptation to blow the budget with an impulsive, extravagant spending spree. Big binge buys now will just lead to major money headaches later on. So slow down, budget carefully and shop prudently.

VIRGO (Aug 24 – Sept 23)

The Full Moon in earthy, practical Virgo (on Tuesday) sets the stage for a powerful and productive International Women’s Day (on Wednesday). So it’s a good week to bring an ambitious goal to a successful conclusion. Be inspired by Virgo entertainer Beyoncé: “As soon as I accomplish one thing, I just set a higher goal. That’s how I’ve gotten to where I am.” The Mercury/Uranus link (on the weekend) is wonderful for creative ideas and innovative solutions.

LIBRA (Sept 24 – Oct 23)

Librans can be too laidback and lackadaisical. But this week the universe gives you a brisk kick up the backside as dynamic Mars links up with Venus (your patron planet), which makes you more proactive than usual. So it’s time to initiate, instigate, negotiate, collaborate and create. Your quote for International Women’s Day is from Libran actress and activist Susan Sarandon: “I take responsibility for the ups and downs of my life, and that is very liberating.”

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 22)

Watch out for stubbornly holding a fixed position: you’re probably not seeing the full picture. If you listen to family, friends and colleagues then you’ll gain a much wider perspective. If you are at the receiving end of some stern words from a loved one, accept the criticism with good grace and then move on. Your quote for International Women’s Day is from fellow-Scorpio, Vogue editor Anna Wintour: “I try to remain very open to what others have to say.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23 – Dec 21)

When it comes to your work and professional prospects, the Full Moon’s in efficient, no-nonsense Virgo. So people don’t care how fabulous, funny and friendly you are – they just want to know you can do your job promptly and competently. With the Sun, Mercury, Neptune and then Saturn transiting through your family zone, don’t neglect the needs of your home and loved ones. Accept your domestic responsibilities with a sunny Sagittarian smile!

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 20)

Steer clear of negative influences that bring you down. Surround yourself with positive people in your family/friendship circle and within your local community. The close connections you foster now will prove beneficial in the future. Inspiring quote for International Women’s Day is from Capricorn great Dolly Parton: “Love too often gets buried in a world of hurt and fear. And we have to dig it out so we can share it with our family, friends, and neighbours.”

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 – Feb 19)

Taskmaster Saturn finally leaves your sign from Wednesday onwards. So don’t get side-tracked and lose sight of where you are heading. The earthy Virgo Full Moon encourages you to make plans and put them into daily practice with discipline and dedication. Your inspiring quote for International Women’s Day is from Aquarian talk-show host, author and philanthropist Oprah Winfrey: “Whatever your goal, you can get there if you’re willing to work.”

PISCES (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

Pisces folk are inspirational people. This week there are four planets visiting your sign – the Sun, Mercury, Neptune and then Saturn. So you’ll feel like daydreaming, visualising and creating even more than usual as you perform, paint, draw, dance, write, sing or play music. It’s time to make your dreams a reality! Your quote for International Women’s Day is from Piscean entertainer Liza Minnelli: “Don’t listen to anyone who doesn’t know how to dream.”
