March: Wise and Whimsical
As you step into the dreamy, optimistic month of March consider the aspects of yourself that coexist within yourself.
March is a month of transition and duality where the wise, steady rhythm of Winter meets the whimsical energy of blossoming new beginnings in Spring. This month mirrors the polarities of life, reminding you that the maturity that exists in wisdom and the ability to let go and succumb to the less tangible, more whimsical aspects of life go hand in hand. March is a reminder that hard work and play go hand in hand, one must master the ability to dabble in their childlike desires and feed those aspects of themselves to truly be able to explore the wisdom that exists within.
While this transition can feel overwhelming, even too fast, there is a balance that exists in this transition. These slow-moving moments of reflection that evolve into bursts of inspired action is what life is all about. You cannot move forward into a new journey with confidence and determination without the opportunity to be still and question what you are ready to journey into next. As the days grow longer and nature comes alive, March invites us to embrace the wisdom that we have cultivated in these last few months, as well as the bubbling energy that pushes us forward to further explore the playful, curious, and determined aspects of ourselves. This month, reframe what you believe a “wise adult” is, and explore what wisdom looks like to you while dabbling in the whimsical, sparkly, exciting, pleasures in life.
This month is overflowing with invitations to lean into the harmony of these energies, making this the perfect time to honor your intuition and merge your plans with a somewhat eccentric flair that feels authentic to you.
We begin this month in the dreamy and optimistic Jupiter/Neptune-ruled sign of Pisces. This sign is the last in the zodiac, making it what many define as one of the most mature signs. This water sign being influenced by Jupiter correlates to an optimistic, expansive approach to life, while the influence of Neptune on Pisces results in a fantastical approach to life that some may describe as unrealistic. These combined energies make the sign a master of manifestation; the quote “If you can dream it, you can be it” describes this energy perfectly. Pisces season is all about surrendering to the comings and goings in life, trusting in your intuition by connecting with the unseen and allowing yourself the freedom to honor your imagination. This water sign is asking you to connect with your intuition and embrace the inherent wisdom that can be derived from stillness and reflection. It is time to honor your inner dreamer and release illusions that no longer serve you.
This Pisces Sun is also joined by the influence of Saturn and Neptune in the same sign. This only heightens the themes of responsibility, structure, creativity, and the release of illusions. Saturn in Pisces encourages you to embark on your spiritual journey with a disciplined imagination. This looks like allowing yourself the wiggle room to keep your head in the clouds while maintaining groundedness by keeping your feet firmly planted on the ground. What would it look like to explore the “what ifs” through a lens of curiosity while creating a plan to bring those desires into reality? Neptune, which is one of Pisces’ ruling planets, only further encourages an air of magical tingles and boundless possibility. Neptune says, “why not? Go after your dreams!” These energies combined permit you to turn your dreams into reality, but only if you can balance your incredible vision with practicality.
The energy shifts dramatically as the Spring Equinox kicks off with the bold, determined, action-oriented Fire sign, Aries. After weeks of introspection and dreamy musings inspired by Pisces, Aries season is the permission you’ve been waiting for to go after your dreams with energetic vigor! Mars, the planetary ruler of Aries will be in Leo (March 20th- April 19th) as well, only heightening feelings of creativity, confidence, and self-assuredness throughout Aries season. This is a time to listen to your heart, lead with your passions, and step into new endeavors fearlessly!
Advice for Embracing Your Inner Wisdom & Whimsy:
March’s energetic duality calls us to balance discipline with creativity, reflection with action, and wisdom with play. Here are some practical ways to work with this energy this month:
Tap Into Your Intuition:
While you navigate Pisces season, make space in your life for journaling, meditation, or any practice that helps you connect with your inner voice. This is an opportunity to tap into the wisdom you have gained over the Winter. When you have a thought that excites or inspires you, write it down to look back on.
Embrace Whimsy:
Invite in opportunities for play and spontaneity into your life with open arms. Look at your routine and ask yourself, “How can I make this more fun?” This could be dancing while you cook a meal or drawing or painting while music plays rather than screen time. Allow yourself the freedom to enjoy the magic that exists in each present moment. The magic is there, you just need to look.
Find the Balance Within:
As you take time to reflect, draw in inspiration, and implement moments of whimsical play, invite in a structure and strategy as you move forward. Write down your dreams, and list them by priority or what you feel is most achievable. Choose up to 3 dreams you hope to make reality this year and create a plan to achieve these goals.
Honor Your Dreams:
As we transition from Pisces into Aries season, take bold and decisive actions. All that you have been working towards has led you to this point, it’s time to chase your goals with courage and enthusiasm.
March reminds us that life is an ongoing dance between the wise and the whimsical. Just as winter’s wisdom prepares us for spring’s renewal, this month’s cosmic energies guide us to integrate reflection with action and intuition with bravery.
As you move through March, trust the rhythm of your journey. Honor your inner wisdom, embrace your creative spirit, and allow the cosmos to inspire you to grow, bloom, and thrive.
March is a reminder that life is just a never-ending dance between the wise and the whimsical; you can’t have one without the other, and there is a joyfully cozy space balanced in between these energies.
Wisdom does not mean you have to always live your life alongside the cold societal structures that have been ingrained in you, and living whimsically does not mean you must live a life with no direction or security. These energies are two sides to the same coin; you don’t need to pick one. You explore your inner world and discover where that balance of wise-whimsy lives within you. Just as Winter’s wisdom prepares us for the renewal of Spring, this month seamlessly guides us to integrate slow, steady reflection with action, intuition, and bravery. As you move through this month, trust the rhythm of your own journey.
