As a Capricorn, you like to plan things out in advance so that you can feel prepared for anything that might come up. In March, however, you may want to roll with events as they arise. Trust your instincts when you don't have all the facts to guide you. At first you may find all of this a little too freewheeling, but as you go along you will become more comfortable operating this way. You may be quickly proven uncannily correct in your judgments, which will only give you more confidence to move quickly and instinctively when you have to do so. All this will become evident on and just after the exciting new moon appears on March 7. A flurry of communication will come up suddenly, and it will take all your energy to keep up with the details. Papers and contracts may now surround you, and although you seem thrilled with what is going on (and you should be), you should ask your lawyer to have a look at the fine print before you sign.

Talks about money are almost sure to arise too in the two weeks that follow this new moon, as Uranus is conjunct the Sun, ruling your solar 8th house of earned income. You may be given a signing bonus, prize, commission, advance, royalty, or licensing fee. You may hear of a scholarship or grant, special sponsorship, or venture capital. Jupiter will be in a superb angle to this new moon, so you should walk away with a tidy sum of money. What makes this so startling is that you won't see any of this coming, and when your source of income does show up, it will happen in an offhand, odd way. Still, nothing is ever given for free, so with events moving at the speed of light this month, plan to slow down long enough to look at the underpinnings of any plan you are shown. In any written or verbal agreement there is always an exchange of benefits, so make sure that what you will promise is exactly what you had in mind, and what you get in return satisfies you, too. Mercury is no longer retrograde as it was in February, so you won't be likely to encounter the kind of mixed messages you did last month. With Uranus conjunct the Sun in your 3rd house, your mind will crackle with a plethora of new ideas. Certainly, any time spent brainstorming will be time well spent, particularly if you stage your sessions from March 7 through March 19, your very best period.

Your artistic side will be very strong too, so if you write for a living, you'll be even better positioned to make use of these aspects. Do you write screenplays or novels that have vivid, imaginative descriptions? Are you a copywriter for an ad agency, or do you write compelling press releases? Great! You must set aside time to devote to your work then. You'll be astounded at the results and people who know you will say you have set new standards.

This would be a perfect time to kick off an advertising or publicity campaign for your business, or to run a classified ad, but not to find romance - do that in early May. All sorts of publicity, public relations, proposals, reports, memos, manuscripts, and other written work should impress the VIPs you send them to. The caveat is that you go over your work carefully before you send it. In a month that will bring fast moving events, you won't want to send out proposals that are half-baked or riddled with errors. Polish things up and you'll make a great impression. If you are in the market for a computer, flat screen TV, or other electronic, you'll find the perfect one for your needs. Your new electronic would give you good value for the money too, for the 3rd house so well aspected now rules all things with moving parts. Now that Mercury is no longer retrograde, go ahead - shop your heart out! If you can't afford a new computer or iPod, for example, drop hints - someone who loves you may even give you one this month, the month of very cool surprises! If you were born on January 6 or within five days of this date, you will benefit most from the new moon, March 7. OK, now I have to discuss one tough aspect that will arrive on the very same day as the new moon, March 7. It will affect one close relationship and it could turn out to make you very tense. To be clear, before I discuss it, this tough experience won't be the fault of the new moon. That new moon will be really good for you, for it will open a bright window of opportunity in all the areas you and I just talked about, and that window will be open for two full weeks. What you do then could change the 12 months to come! The difficulties you may face on March 7 will be due to another, shorter-lived aspect, Mars opposed to Pluto. Someone you know and whom you think of as a partner is likely to come across as very controlling and confrontational at this time. This may be out of character, or conversely, this person may be showing you his or her true side. The intensity of this person's domineering attitude may shock you.

Don't be pressured or intimidated into accepting a deal from this person that you don't want, even if you are desperate to get this deal finalized. I know this is easy for me to say, but I see how unfairly you may be treated on this date. Also, if you are in a negotiation, don't let others speak for you - you need to be present to speak for yourself. Rather than have your lawyer or agent call the client, for example, get advice from this person, but you should speak for yourself - you will come across as more powerful and confident if you do.

The person who gives you a hard time near March 7 may be a business associate, close friend, or an authority figure connected to your home or property. It may even be your mate, parent, other relative, or a real estate broker, landlord, contractor, or difficult roommate.

Fortunately, the tension that will arise between Mars and Pluto on March 7 will only last only a day or two, but alas, what you learn about this person's method of dealing with you will remain in your mind in the future.

Another big change this month: Mars will tour your important partnership angle of your chart (7th house) from March 4 to May 9. Mars' position suggests that you may be ready to forge a joint venture with a partner in coming weeks. Aside from the time near March 7, you should be able to reach accord rather easily, especially if your talks center on money. This tells me that if you encounter problems on March 7, see if you can separate from the situation for a few days to allow for a cooling off phase.

One terrific time to set a meeting to talk with your partner would be March 15-16, when Venus will greatly soften Mars' brash side, allowing you to have a positive, productive conversation. Your career will be the center of your attention at the full moon, March 21. This full moon will fall in your 10th house of fame and honors, so if you were interviewing for a new job, it certainly would be a position that would be a prestigious step up. A full moon brings things to culmination, so you are likely to get the results of weeks of interviews at this time.

Admittedly, this job will be valuable and therefore hotly contested. It appears that you'll have several competitors vying for it but due to planets squaring off, it seems that one or two of the other applicants will be out to win, even if it means they do not play by the rules. This situation will be ripe for political favoritism, but fortunately you will be able to see others' motives quite clearly as everything will be out in the open. With the stakes high, the pressure to do well will be equally high, so you will likely feel the tension, particularly if you were born on or near December 23.

If you feel this is one battle not worth fighting, your next window of opportunity will be to get a new job on or near September 29 or at year's end, just after the new moon December 27. If you do like the professional results you get within days of this full moon on March 21, congratulations - you apparently won over much competition, not all of it always nice. Now, let's turn to two lovely days that I would like you to watch for outstanding opportunities.

On March 27, with Mercury, Jupiter, and Uranus beautifully angled to each other, you will have luck with a middleman or someone who represents you. This could be your agent, broker, headhunter, or lawyer, for example, or even your spouse if your mate runs interference for you. If you need help, give a call! On March 28, Jupiter, now in Capricorn, will reach out to Uranus, planet of unanticipated, spontaneous events, and will allow you to communicate with style. Whatever your talent happens to be - to speak, write, persuade, lecture, act, edit, teach, do research, or even tell jokes - on this day you can outdo yourself. No matter what your goal happens to be - to enlighten, inform, persuade, sell, convey, correct, inspire, or entertain - you will hit your mark at this time.

The lovely interplay between Jupiter and Uranus on March 28 will be a rare aspect that will, remarkably, occur three times in 2008. March 28 will be the first and the other two contacts will arrive on May 21 and November 13. After that, it will be years until this outstandingly optimistic, hopeful interplay between Jupiter and Uranus is replayed. Make the most of these three meetings in 2008 as they come up. Your ability to communicate will dazzle others. The last week of the month would also be sensational for travel, near or far. All sorts of opportunities will come up spontaneously. If your friend or relative offers to fluff up a guestroom for you, hop a plane or train. The weather will be beautiful, and the company divine. No reason to stay home! If you are involved in a legal case, you may see a breakthrough on or near March 27-28. It certainly would be worth offering a settlement on one of these days. These days would also be favorable for taking a major exam or for having an interview at a university, too. Romantically, if you are single, lucky you - you have Jupiter's help in finding the right romantic partner. Jupiter will remain with you throughout 2008. Truly, of all signs, you will be most blessed for finding the person you will refer to as your "true North." Jupiter is the planet of happiness and good fortune and only comes 'round every twelve years. You will have Jupiter at your side this year until January 5, 2009, so you should circulate quite a bit.

This month, your sweetest weekend for love will be March 15-16 when Venus, the planet that rules your 5th house of love, flirts with Mars. Love seems linked to travel to nearby towns or even while you jet around the neighborhood. From March 12 onward, Venus will tour your short-distance travel sector. Look your best, not only on flights and trips, but while at the supermarket and Post Office, too! Your most romantic evenings in March will fall on the following dates: March 1-3, 6-8, 15-16, 19-20, and 27-30. In two months, May, you will have some of the very best romantic aspects possible. Socialize now, knowing that things are due to get even better in a few weeks. You are a hard worker, so I thought you may need a little notice to clear your calendar to make best use of your best ever month for love, May, just two months away!

Summary With Mars and Pluto in confrontation during early March, you may have a disagreement with a partner that proves hard to fix. Pluto is now in your sign but you've not had any experience with Pluto in Capricorn, as Pluto has not been in your sign since the days of the American Revolution. You may be outraged with what occurs, so don't agree to anything if you feel coerced. You may wonder if you want this relationship in your life in the future, but a lot will depend on your history with this person and the place he or she holds in your life. Throughout this episode, remind yourself that you have more control than you think you do. The new moon on March 7 will be helpful in getting projects off the ground. Last month everything was delayed, but this month, you will have lots of opportunity and will find that you have almost too much to do! Your mind will be sparkle with lots of innovative ideas, and from that date forward, you should be out presenting those gems to all who will listen. You may want to launch a publicity or advertising campaign now, especially if you're self-employed - it would do exceptionally well. Travel for romance or business: March 7, 8-9, 15-16, or 27-28. All are sensational and will give you a needed change of pace.

Your career will bring news on or within four days of the full moon, March 21. You will get word back on a promotion, but it appears your situation has become political, and that others are fiercely vying for the same job, too. Planets are squaring off, so if you want this job, you'll have to mobilize all your resources to get it. You are favored, because you will have Jupiter's protection all year, so even if it becomes an against-all-odds situation, you may be able to win anyway. It's certainly worth your best effort. If you have no desire to get involved with such a competitive situation, you will have more opportunities to get ahead at the end of September and December.

Romantically, you should be pleased by events that come up over the weekend of March 15-16, when Venus, ruling your house of true love, reaches out to Mars and plants a big smooch on his cheek. This would be the ideal weekend to take your sweetheart or spouse to a charming bed and breakfast and enjoy time together in a beautiful fresh-air country setting.
