Welcome to March! Oh, and also your cosmic awakening. This is “The Other Astro Word”- a monthly zodiac update guaranteed to entertain, inform, and poke ya right in your third eye! I know the onslaught of midterms and drab February weather may have you looking for a positive sign. Well, I’ve got 12 of them right here, and I gotta say, it’s looking god. Read on to see what the planetary positions mean for you and your spring break outlook.
Monthly Update
As we are all well informed (and if you’re not, just ask Kaia), Pluto is not technically considered a planet right now, to the dismay of many astronomers (if you can’t find any that are upset by this, just ask Kaia). While poor little Pluto may not make much of a dent in our planetary classification in 2023, it has a MAJOR impact on the zodiac! For the first time since 2008, Pluto will leave Capricorn and enter the forward-thinking Aquarius, shifting the mindset of society for another 20-some years. Saturn also enters pisces this month, both a planet and a sign connected to endings. Expect some changes that may seem abrupt, and face this shift head on. With the double punch of Pluto and Saturn, this month is pretty pivotal from a stellar standpoint. It’s also retrograde-free however, which gives you a great opportunity to face March head-on, and carpe that diem!
