1. Lunar Eclipse - on March 3 is conjunct Uranus in Pisces. While individuals may experience some enlightening moments, Uranus in Pisces may also refer to radical religious movements, or religious extremists. This eclipse activates these elements, which may indicate terrorism, especially the disruption of oil lines. Look for technological snafus, airplane accidents, and disasters at sea or by the coastline.

2. Mercury turns direct - on March 7 while conjunct the U.S. Moon. Watch for major news stories about political candidates, as savvy strategists choose this moment to express an attack or controversial viewpoint. Transiting Uranus quincunx (150º) the U.S. Saturn at this time indicates challenges to government institutions like the Constitution or the Pentagon.

3. Solar Eclipse - on March 18 is conjunct Ceres and square Pluto, a powerful combination that could bring catastrophic events and the need for relief work within days of this eclipse. Watch for a significant terrorist event or natural calamity, such as an earthquake or severe weather incident. Iraq and Iran's charts are ominously activated.

4. Transiting Mars enters the Saturn-Neptune polarity - effective from March 21 to 25. This three-planet combination is event-oriented, bringing plenty of action on numerous fronts, especially military, but political and corporate as well. Watch for buy-outs, legal battles, challenges to weakened authority or control, and other direct assaults. Occupying or entrenched forces are on the defensive.

5. Pluto turns retrograde - on March 31 in the last degree of Sagittarius, bringing the reversal of long-term trends under a feeling of desperation. Religious divides define the global hotspots where fanatics and extremists are at their most expressive. Natural and human-caused disasters increase around this time, bringing significant loss of life and property.
