Summary

A profound month of soul-level transformation arrives as we move through an intensely Piscean landscape of Mercury retrograde, eclipse energies, and Jupiter stationing direct, all preparing us for powerful new beginnings in Aries season. Anchored by “butterfly medicine,” March is framed as a sacred metamorphosis—an opportunity to release karmic loops, outdated identities, unconscious servitude patterns, and emotional imprints rooted as far back as early attachment experiences. The Virgo Lunar Eclipse at 13 degrees on March 3rd highlights practical endings and generational shifts—especially for those with strong Virgo or Pisces placements—while Mercury retrograde and Jupiter direct in Cancer on March 10 stir deep emotional truths and invite intentional closure. As the equinox arrives on March 20th with Mercury stationing direct, clarity breaks through the fog, ushering in courageous new starts that accelerate into April’s rare Aries stellium. With Saturn in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius at month’s end, themes of sovereignty, individuality, and empowered leadership strengthen, signaling a collective and personal rebirth. March ultimately serves as a transitional portal, supporting you in lightening the energetic load, dissolving old karma, and guiding listeners into a freer, more authentic expression of their soul path.

0:00.0	Welcome to Intuitive Astrology with Molly McCord. Thank you so much for joining me as we are going to
0:05.2	dive into the major astrology of March 2006. Yes, the third month of the year is upon us and it has
0:14.0	some very distinct themes as we move through Pisces season, Mercury retrograde, eclipse energies, and Jupiter stationing direct,
0:24.5	then crossing the threshold into Aries season on March 20th, which is going to be a more
0:32.5	inspired motivational energy that signals new chapters are now here and the beginnings you've been
0:40.8	planning for have arrived. I'll be going through the highlights of the month in today's show.
0:47.0	Then in every Wednesday podcast is where I discuss the weekly energies of the month.
0:53.5	So this will just cover what you can expect and work with consciously in March,
0:58.8	as well as how to plan for the new beginnings that are being ushered in March and April.
1:05.1	Now before I got started recording this podcast,
1:07.4	I was sitting in my soft, receptive place to hear anything important that I need
1:14.3	to include in today's show. And one thing that was coming through quite beautifully was
1:19.6	butterfly medicine, especially as it relates to soul transformation and the sacred process of becoming yet again, evolving into a new
1:33.4	understanding of self and evolving into a new place of self-identity in your life and on your journey.
1:42.4	Now butterflies are one of the most commonly used spirit guides and animals in the world
1:49.6	of personal transformation for obvious reasons.
1:52.7	But what I was feeling about this particular message of butterfly medicine is how there
1:59.1	can be a new lightness in self that sets you free, a new sense
2:06.2	of non-attachment to who you were versus the new parts of yourself that are coming forward.
2:13.2	There can be a recognition of your own transformation and metamorphosis at a whole new level.
2:20.2	And in March, especially the last 10 days or so of the month, you might find that it's easier
