Cancer horoscope for March 2024


For you, March is not only always a month of two halves but where there is an extreme change in focus. Or at least that is normally the case, but this year it is more an overlapping that will make having the right work/life balance more important than ever. What makes March such a month of contrasts is that the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of March in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery before returning to your career sector. This is a month that begins with the solar spotlight firmly on the adventurous side of life's fence but ends with the spotlight on your professional game and on getting this new professional year moving.

The difference this year is that since Jupiter left your career sector last May things never went off the boil and since the dwarf planet Eris turned direct in January the pace has been slowly building. As last year's planetary activity on the job front spilled into the early months of 2024 and only ran its course last month, the year has already gotten off to a busy start. Mercury's return to your career sector on 10th March and the Sun's return on 20th March will only add to that. However, that doesn't mean that the adventurous side of life's fence is negatively impacted, for you not only began the year with Saturn and Neptune here, but they are here until 2026.

Venus' return to an adventurous part of your chart on 12th March and Mars on 23rd March will be enough competition for the professional side of life's fence to keep things balanced. Until then, Venus and Mars are working with Pluto, the planet of change and transformation to ensure this financial year is well established as well as a powerful new chance to take your financial power back. Knowing that when Venus comes full circle later in the year and Mars in two years Pluto will still be here, means that their attempts to fuel your financial confidence, passions and fighting spirit are an investment into something that will endure.

Love & Romance

Pluto, who had been in your relationship sector since 2008 left in January, which meant that as the Sun and the faster planets one by one returned to and eventually left, this should have left it empty. The Sun and Pluto both left in January and Mars, Venus and Mercury, the planets of passion, love and communication all left in February. These are the only planets that will usually return to your relationship sector each year or in Mars' case every other year. There should be no more planetary activity on the relationship front nor the massive support that has built since then.

Instead, it was during Venus' final days that the dwarf planet Ceres returned to begin her first deep dive into your relationship needs and priorities in four years. Normally here for three months, a retrograde turn will keep Ceres here until December and throughout that time she will work closely with the planets in your friendship sector and also the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment and especially commitment to your relationships in your communication sector. Like Ceres, instead of passing through, a retrograde turn is keeping Juno in your communication sector until August and they will continue to work as a team until then.

That support between the communication and relationship gods and for friendship and relationship building will be there all month but will be especially potent when the Moon moves through your relationship sector from 5th March to 7th March and through your communication sector from 22nd March to 25th March. Meanwhile, as if to make up for the fact that there is no planetary activity in your romantic sector, the Moon will make two visits this month. Having returned in the closing hours of February, the Moon will make the first two days of the month some of the most romantically charged, before returning and doing it again from 27th March to 30th March.


Business & Career

While it is business as usual as you move into the new month, business as usual is looking good. Since the last planet left your work sector last month ended months of planetary activity that should have run its course by the New Year, a busy start to the year has eased back while still giving you plenty of momentum. This is something that is still so fresh that when the Moon returns to your work sector from 3rd March to 5th March, this will be its first visit since the last planet left. While this is something that will always sharpen your instincts and give you an intuitive read on work and job matters, this first visit since the last planet left is a chance to tie up loose ends, process the journey recent months have taken you on and draw a new line in the sand.

Last year you were doing this in January, this year it is happening in March and you are just now getting to that point. The Sun will always return to your career sector three months, almost exactly to the day, after leaving your work sector in December, creating a firebreak where there is not only a chance to let work and job matters play out but for you to take a break after what is usually a busy end to each year, before looking at taking things to the next level professionally. With Mercury returning to your career sector on 10th March and the Sun on 20th March, that gap has narrowed considerably, making business as usual at the start of the month a good place to be.

Especially with Mercury returning on 10th March to begin what is normally a 14 to 15 day chance to get your head in the game and become more mentally focused, only to end up spending over 20 months here. By the time the Sun returns on 20th March to turn the solar spotlight onto your career and professional situation, matters and options, Mercury will not only be settled in but the Moon's return from 11th March to 13th March will have sharpened your professional instincts as well. With Venus returning next month and Mars here by the time Mercury leaves in March, a relatively quiet patch at the start of the month is only temporary.

Money

The Sun and Mercury both left your financial sector in the final 10 days of February, leaving you with a more realistic read on your financial situation and money matters as well as the smart head for money needed to keep your head in the game and to think on your feet when you need to. However, there is a whole new brand of planets influencing things this month, planets that aren't focused on financial housekeeping or on overthinking things. The month beings with Venus and Mars, the planets of money and passion not only in your financial sector but separating from their own alignment and from an alignment with Pluto, the planet of change and transformation.

Pluto returned with the Sun in January and apart from a short 11 week break later in the year, he is here now until 2044. Until Venus, who will leave on 12th March and Mars, who will leave on 23rd March, Pluto isn't passing through, he is moving in. Pluto has returned to change your relationship with money and he has some serious support when it comes to getting things started. For Venus, this isn't even the only visit she will make this year, returning and meeting up with Pluto again later in the year. However, here for just 24 days, she doesn't have the 20 years Pluto has, so is focused on doing what she can now to fuel your financial confidence, update your financial desires and expectations and work to turn those desires into reality.

Helping with that is Mars, with the warrior planet of the cosmos having returned to fire up your financial passions and fighting spirit for the first time in two years. However, leaving on 23rd February and not returning until late 2025, he is giving you the drive to take your financial power back now. The Moon's return to your financial sector from 7th March to 9th March will sharpen your financial instincts and even act as a trigger while Venus, Mars and Pluto are still together. It is two weeks later that the Moon will return to your income sector from 20th March to 22nd March. The Moon will return to sharpen your nose for money and act as the trigger just as the Sun returns to your career sector on 20th March.

Health

When there is no planetary activity in your health sector, having the Moon visit twice in one month is always an advantage. Especially as this will give you a chance to check in earlier in the month and then again at the end. However, there is something significant about both, over and above a chance to check in with what your body is telling you and the impact that daily life is having on your physical resources. You will get a chance to do just that when the Moon moves through from 3rd March to 5th March. However, as the first visit since the dwarf planet Ceres left, this is also a chance to reassess your health needs and priorities. The Moon returns for its next check on 30th March, where it will see out the month.
