HAPPY MARCH MY LOVES!

This month brings a lot to the table from an astrological perspective including a total lunar eclipse showcasing as a “Blood Moon,” Mercury AND Venus in retrograde. All of this energy is a good opportunity to slow down, think carefully, and avoid rushing decisions. Focus on this thought: “Expectations that are not communicated are premeditated resentments.”

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Aries, March is all about adventure and what better way to fuel your optimistic spirit than by tackling something new head-on? Try snowshoeing the perimeter trail of Trilium Lake near Mount Hood and don’t be afraid to push boundaries. Don’t be too overly competitive as this year is all about community, not competition. Afterwards, warm up at Al Forno Ferruzza in Rhododendron Oregon for some of their house made spirits and a custom stromboli with the fillings of your choice.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Taurus, this month is about taking things slow and appreciating the good stuff, and there’s no better way to indulge than with a relaxing afternoon at Roots Winery in Yamhill. The calming views and stunning wines will have you feeling at peace, as your inner connoisseur finds joy in life’s little pleasures. It’s a time for savoring and reflecting, and with a glass of Pinot in hand, everything seems just a little bit clearer. Don’t rush through the tasting, let each sip reveal a little more.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Gemini, this month, you’re filled with an insatiable curiosity, and you’re going to love exploring new ideas, much like you would wander through the never-ending stacks at Powell’s Books in Portland. Take a new book across the street and around to the corner to read at Courier Coffee with a freshly roasted Americano. Just remember, not everything (including books) has to be finished all at once. Sometimes, the journey is the best part.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

March is about connecting deeply with what grounds you, Cancer. Picture yourself at Ecola State Park, the mist from the ocean swirling around you, calming your spirit. Use this time to nurture your emotions and let the beauty of nature recharge you. It’s ok, you’re allowed to cry a little. After you’ve gathered your thoughts, head to The Wayfarer in Cannon Beach for something sweet to reward all of the personal growth you’re doing!

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Leo, your energy is infectious this month, and you’ll find yourself shining brightly wherever you go, much like the myriad colors of a Doe Donut. Whether you’re at work, hanging with friends, or simply grabbing a bite, you’re the one everyone’s looking at. Don’t shy away from the spotlight—embrace it, but maybe make sure there isn’t any leftover powdered sugar on your lips! Even you, Leo, deserve some moderation!

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

This month, Virgo, your need for order and tranquility will align perfectly with a visit to Crater Lake. March offers you an opportunity to clear your mind and focus on your true priorities. As you stand at the rim or sit in the dining room of the Crater Lake Lodge, gazing at the crystal-clear waters, take a deep breath. This is a time to let go of what doesn’t serve you and lean into what brings you peace. The stillness of the lake mirrors your need for balance. Find time to reflect and relax.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Balance is your mantra this month, Libra, and March will bring it into sharp focus. A visit to Multnomah Falls (and their lodge restaurant!) will remind you how much you appreciate harmony in both nature and life. Standing in front of the cascading water, you’ll feel the pull to create more symmetry in your relationships and projects. Find your flow, but don’t rush—let things fall into place as naturally as the waterfall’s descent. Maybe even bring a friend along for the journey, as your social instincts will be sharp this month.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

March brings transformation, Scorpio, and Scotch Lodge in Portland will be your personal transformation station. The myriad aromas of whiskeys and so many Scotch options will fuel your drive as you tap into your deeper desires and ambitions. The month promises growth, but like a well-aged bottle of whiskey, this period of reflection will take time. Be patient with yourself, and don’t hesitate to take a few calculated risks along the way. Your strength is rooted in both your determination and your ability to pivot when necessary.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

For you, Sagittarius, March is a month to embrace your wild side. Think of the splendor of Mount Hood calling your name, inviting you to get outside and take risks. This is a time to dive into new experiences headfirst, whether you’re hitting the snow, taking a spontaneous road trip, or even starting a new fitness routine. Don’t let hesitation hold you back, as you don’t even need to spend time on the slopes to take it all in, book a stay at Timberline Lodge to maximize your time up there!

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Capricorn, this is a month to appreciate your hard work and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Cascada Thermal Springs and Spa in Portland is the perfect place to book a room and soak in all of the services they offer. You’ve been pushing hard, and now it’s time to take a step back and reflect. Bask in the calm, rejuvenate, and take pride in the progress you’ve made. Sometimes, even the most determined individuals need a pause, and this is your time to rest without guilt.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

March will inspire your quirky, imaginative side, Aquarius, and Glowing Greens Blacklight Mini Golf in Portland will be the perfect backdrop for your out-of-the-box thinking. The absolute absurdity of it all will fuel your creativity, offering a unique perspective on your goals – one hole at a time. Let your mind wander in the trippy atmosphere, allowing for inspiration to strike from unexpected places. You may even have a lightbulb of inspiration, so keep a notebook handy as your next big thing could be just around the miniature dog leg.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Pisces, this is a month to embrace your emotional depth and find solace in the mysteries of life. The Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport will feel like your second home—full of intriguing creatures and hidden wonders. Dive into the mysteries within you, allowing your intuition to guide the way. Whether you’re journaling, daydreaming, or simply staring at marine life, trust that you’ll find the clarity you seek. Just be sure not to overthink things—sometimes, the answers are as simple as a fish swimming by.
