Stock up on your vitamins, practice self-care, and rid yourself of anything that doesn’t bring you joy because the next month is going to be rough as guts, according to astrology. From Eclipse Season to Mercury Retrograde to Venus Retrograde, a whole lot of cosmic chaos is going down and it ain’t gonna be pretty.
Just to paint a picture of how bad things can get: we’re mere days into the retrogrades and eclipse seasons and already, my seven year relationship has ended and the fuse blew in my apartment and the power points aren’t working. Cool!
But hey, just ‘cos my life sucks doesn’t mean yours has to as well!
To prepare you for the hectic month ahead, here’s a break down of everything to look out for in the stars in March.

Mercury Retrograde
Dates: 15 March to 26 April.
What it means: You’ll know this one like the back of your hand ‘cos it happens the most frequently and is therefore feared the most. The planet Mercury governs communication, travel and technology, so when it goes retrograde (aka backwards motion), expect those areas to go haywire.
How to protect yourself: Allow extra time for travel, back up your phones and lappys, and double-check all risky emails and texts. Oh, and be extra careful in your communications with others — did that person mean to piss you off with their wording or are you misreading what they’ve said? Miscommunications are on the rise so think twice before losing your shit!

Venus Retrograde
Dates: 1 March to 12 April.
What it means: So remember what I said about planets going backwards? Venus governs love and relationships, so expect chaos on that front! Your dating life might start to go a little haywire or you may find yourself squabbling with your partner a little more. And this doesn’t just involve romantic relationships, this could also be your relationship with your mates or your fam.
How to protect yourself: Given that Venus Retrograde is paired with Mercury Retrograde, those breakdowns in communication will likely occur in your relationships. Be kind to yourself and to others and choose your words carefully, rather than fighting fire with fire… and I mean that literally as Mercury’s Retrograde falls in Aries and Venus falls in planet of passion, Mars.

Eclipse Season
Dates: 13 March to 29 March.
What it means: Eclipses kickstart huge changes in your life. Solar Eclipses bring about new beginnings and summon unexpected opportunities. Solar Eclipses bring about new beginnings and opportunities, but they can also impact our relationships (as can Venus Retrograde). Meanwhile Lunar Eclipses are a time of reflection and realising stuff (to quote my girl Kylie Jenner). During this time, we will have many epiphanies that will help us to understand what we’ve been missing in our lives.
How to protect yourself: Avoid telling your secrets to untrustworthy people and rely upon spellwork to bring about goodness during the chaos. You’d be wise to work with the Lunar and Solar Eclipses to bring about healthy change in your life. Here are some rituals to try.
