March has arrived, folks. Astrologically speaking, this month signals the start of a brand new year.
On March 3rd, a total lunar eclipse occurs in Virgo, followed by the vernal equinox on March 20th, which ushers in the seasonal energy, or gate of fire, associated with Aries.
This month, we’ll also be under the influence of Mercury’s first retrograde and its post-retrograde shadow, so keeping clarity in mind will be crucial.
Enhance your March with insights from tarot reader Kelly Ward. She prepared tarot spreads for each zodiac sign using her Zodiac Love Match Oracle Deck.
Fire signs – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Free Spirit, Goodbye, Happy Play
According to Ward, the theme for fire signs this month is all about “freedom.”
She emphasizes the importance of letting go of what no longer serves you—whether that’s relationships or commitments. “Not all connections are meant to last; many are seasonal,” she explained. “The Free Spirit Card gives you the leeway to choose who stays in your life. You owe nothing to anyone!”
The “Say Goodbye” card doesn’t only imply endings but suggests releasing people and patterns that hinder your growth.
“It’s time to remove what’s blocking you: dead trees, old habits, that kind of thing,” Ward suggested.
This intention clears a path for a possible fun fling—be it with a partner or a new spark full of creativity and passion. “March is expected to bring some sunny weather for relationships!”
Earth signs – Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Aquarius, surrender to desire, intimate and independent.
The energy of Aquarius will be strong among earth signs this month, possibly manifesting as a meeting with someone vibrant or as a channeling of the sign’s innovative spirit.
“Maybe you’re looking to reshape the dynamics of your romantic life. Change is inevitable, and relationships need to adapt, or they risk feeling confining,” Ward noted.
She highlighted that clarity and desire are vital for earth signs; knowing what you want can help turn passion into purposeful energy.
“Let your genuine desires lead you to what must evolve. It’s unsustainable to ignore your needs for others.”
Ward believes that true magic happens in relationships that allow for both closeness and personal space.
“Seek a dynamic where you can grow, make mistakes, and communicate effectively. That’s the goal for March.”
Air signs – Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Soulmate, express your life, be happy forever
For air signs, March is shaping up to be a fruitful time for romance, according to Ward.
“There’s something soulmate-like in the air that could lead to long-term happiness. This might involve a new relationship or a fresh chapter in an existing one,” she shared. “It could be a proposal or simply an energy shift that creates a safe and supportive space.”
Being open about personal aspirations with your partner is crucial for strengthening your bond.
“If your partner envisions a future, you can build that together, becoming closer in the process. Romance transcends mere passion; it’s what helps create a life together.”
Water signs – Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Best friends, healing heartbreak, loneliness
Ward indicates that this particular card, the Unholy Trinity, reflects upcoming changes in energy for water signs.
“This suggests a period of loneliness was necessary, but it’s waning now. March can feel like that last stretch of darkness before the dawn,” she said. “If you’re already attached, moments of feeling lost in thought can still happen, and that’s alright!”
She encourages water signs to prioritize friendship over purely romantic pursuits in the weeks ahead.
“Look for someone who feels like your best friend. Avoid forcing a relationship or seeking constant validation. Draw in someone where you feel safe and understood,” Ward advised. “Open your heart—now’s the time to heal any lingering wounds.”
She mentioned that working through this pain in a calm manner may reveal new insights.
“You also need some solitude—time for reflection, imagination, or even a good cry. March is a significant turning point, and it looks promising!”
