You’ve been looking for the stage, but—everywhere you go—it seems like the starring role has already been filled. What gives?! Thankfully, this brand-new month kicks off with some exciting, fresh astrology that hasn’t illuminated your chart in two whole years. On March 3, Mars (the planet of action) shifts into Gemini, illuminating the area of your chart associated with collaboration, community, and—yes—audience. Every performer needs applause and, over the next few weeks, you’ll livin’ la vida encore. No matter which talents you choose to amplify (because, let’s be honest, you have many gifts, Leo), one of your signature assets is warmth. You love making people feel good! Spring is right around the corner, and with the Sun spending more time in the sky, this is an excellent moment to reconnect with your natural radiance. Don’t be afraid to make connections and put yourself out there, lion love—bravery is always rewarded!

Ten days later, on March 13, the Sun and Moon meet in Pisces, forming a New Moon that activates the cosmos, along with the area of your birth chart associated with intimacy and deep emotional expression. Beneath this velvety sky, take a moment to reflect on your emotions landscape. Perhaps you’ve been spending more time helping others navigate their trauma and pain and—inadvertently—ignored your own healing journey? There will be no nocturnal illumination under this sky (in other words, the night will be extremely dark), so this is a great opportunity to shift your gaze inward. I know you’re more about “product” than “process”—but if you really want to inspire others and create lasting change, it’s important that you address your personal baggage… so unzip those old suitcases and start unpacking!

But don’t worry: This month, all that hard, emotional work is actually going to be rewarded. On March 20, the Sun glides into Aries, kicking off a new astrological and seasonal cycle. It’s spring, Leo—one step closer to your birthday season! For the next month, the Sun (which just so happens to be your celestial ruler *hair flip*) will be activating the area of your chart linked to philosophy, adventure, and intellectual expansion. This is an exciting time to let your curiosities be your guide, so don’t be surprised if you end up getting increasingly more serious about one of your hobbies or interests. Perhaps you’ll enroll in a new online workshop, or even try your hand at learning a new language. We love to see it, Leo! J’adore!

Finally, the month concludes with a Full Moon in Libra on March 28, charging up the area of your chart connected with friends, colleagues, classmates, and communication. Full Moons are considered the “climax” of the 28-day lunar cycle: They occur when the Sun (symbolizing externality) and Moon (representing internality) meet in opposition, creating 24/7 illumination (first from the Sun, followed by the Moon). During this lunation—equal parts action and reaction—you can expect maximum exposure, especially involving your peers. What will you discover, Leo love?! The tea is piping hot, but easy does it! Although the gossip is steaming, you’ll want to slip slowly to avoid burning your tongue. Because—the truth is, Leo—rumors have a tricky way of coming back around. It’s one thing to hear gossip, but it’s another thing to actually spread it. Be careful!
