March’s Invitation: From Dissolution to Direction

Medical Astrology· 8 minutes

March carries us through one of the most physiologically significant transitions of the year - from Pisces’ dissolving, restorative terrain into the decisive ignition of Aries. From a medical astrology perspective, this is a month where the body moves from deep internal processing into outward mobilisation.

Early March continues the Piscean themes of immune repair, lymphatic flow, emotional digestion, and rest. But this is not a passive month. With eclipses, planetary stations, and Aries season arriving, March asks an important question of the body: what is ready to move forward, and what is not?

This month is about timing. Pushing too early can deplete; waiting too long can stagnate. The art lies in listening closely and acting precisely.

Pisces-to-Aries Transition: Health Themes

Pisces Season (Until March 20)

Pisces governs the lymphatic system, immune response, feet, sleep cycles, and the body’s subtle boundaries. The first half of March remains deeply internal, amplified by the Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo (March 3) and the New Moon in Pisces (March 18).

From a health perspective, this period highlights detoxification, immune recalibration, gut–brain signalling, and emotional processing. With Mars entering Pisces (March 2), even physical energy turns inward. Fatigue, lowered motivation, or heightened sensitivity are not problems to solve — they’re signals to pace wisely.

Support focus:

  • Immune and lymphatic nourishment
  • Digestive regulation and gut–brain support
  • Sleep quality and nervous system containment
  • Gentle movement rather than exertion

Pisces prepares the ground. Nothing grows well without this phase.

Aries Season (From March 20)

As the Sun enters Aries, the body shifts from repair to action. Aries governs the head, adrenal system, inflammation, and the spark of vitality that initiates movement.

With Venus entering Aries (March 6) and Mercury turning direct (March 20), energy and motivation return quickly, sometimes faster than the body is ready for.

Aries season supports courage, forward momentum, and renewed vitality, but it also increases susceptibility to headaches, inflammation, and adrenal strain if boundaries are ignored.

Support focus:

  • Anti-inflammatory nutrition
  • Adrenal and stress-response support
  • Structured movement and strength rebuilding
  • Clear routines to prevent overextension

Pisces restores the system; Aries activates it. March teaches us how to transition cleanly between the two.

Wellness Tips for March

🌊 Honour the Lymph & Immune System (Early Month)
Dry brushing, gentle movement, hydration, and adequate rest support Piscean detoxification.

🌱 Support the Gut–Brain Axis (Virgo Eclipse)
Focus on digestion, meal regularity, and reducing overstimulation.

🔥 Ease into Action (Aries Season)
Reintroduce movement gradually. Think strength-building, not burnout.

🧠 Protect the Nervous System
Transitions tax the system. Consistent sleep and reduced sensory overload matter.

🫀 Watch Inflammation Signals
Headaches, irritability, or adrenal fatigue are signs to slow the pace.

Ascendant Lecture (1)

Featured Training: The Ascendant's Role in Health & Well-being

Your Ascendant is the instruction manual for your body. In The Ascendant’s Role in Health & Well-being, I take you inside the rising sign as the most revealing indicator of physical resilience, stress response, and vitality.

This lecture shows how and why certain bodies cope well under pressure while others burn out, and what your Ascendant says about your nervous system, adrenals, and energy patterns long before symptoms appear.

Packed with practical, sign-by-sign guidance, this session gives you tools you can use straight away from food and herbal support to movement and rest strategies matched to your constitution.

If you want to spot early warning signs, understand how transits affect your health, and tailor self-care to how your body actually works (rather than generic advice), this lecture offers a clear, personalised roadmap to sustainable wellbeing.

Pisces & 12th House
In this recent lecture, we explored Pisces and the 12th House through the lens of medical astrology, with a particular focus on immunity, lymphatic flow, sleep, and the body’s need for restorative retreat.

The session examined Pisces’ rulership of the feet, lymphatic system, and immune response, alongside the influence of Jupiter and Neptune on sensitivity, permeability, and healing capacity. We looked closely at how these themes show up physically and psychologically, especially when the body is under strain, overstimulated, or lacking adequate rest.

The 12th House was discussed as a vital space for recovery rather than withdrawal, highlighting its role in unconscious patterns, intuitive regulation, dreaming, and the deep rest required for genuine repair. Practical connections were made between astrology and physiology, showing how immune resilience and emotional integration improve when the nervous system is allowed to soften.

The lecture concluded with grounded remediation strategies, including lifestyle considerations, dietary support, herbal approaches, and simple practices to strengthen boundaries while supporting the body’s natural healing intelligence. 🔗 Find out more


Aries

A Closing Note for March

March reminds us that healing is both cyclical and directional. Pisces teaches us when to pause; Aries teaches us when to begin again.

The body does not leap from rest to action... it transitions. This month asks for patience, precision, and respect for timing. When we honour that rhythm, vitality returns naturally, without force. Move forward, but take the body with you.

Withgratitude,
