March 2015 Horoscopes

This is a project I'm doing for a position as a daily astrologer. To give an example of how I write, I have compiled a general monthly horoscope for March 2015. I like to write horoscopes, as I can use deductive reasoning and creativity while incorporating modern ideas.

This is a good example of my resourcefulness and ability to write about specific items.

Pisces

This is your month, Pisces, and ultimately, your time to shine!
It's time to dig beneath your exquisite tastes and create something out of nothing; try making something new using only the resources you have. Build an art project using materials lying around your home, or start a new club, inviting people you already know. This will put your creativity to the test while allowing you to use your intellect. Impress yourself this month, Pisces! This will help you discover and appreciate skills that you didn't know you had.

Romance
March is a good time to be resourceful in your love life as well as with day-to-day efforts. This month, take the time to think about past lovers or dates that you wish you had a second chance with. Then, call them up! What do you have to lose? If there's somebody you've always wondered about, like a neighbor or friend, now is a great time to take a chance. Stop wondering what would happen, and make it happen. Take the initiative!

Monthly Goal

Create something new with resources you already have;

Reminisce and give second chances.

Aries

Now is the time to take that Aries drive and put it to the test!

It's time to stop procrastinating and do what you need to do. With this beautiful Spring weather upon us, now is an excellent time to clean the house or tidy up at work. If there's any school work you've been waiting to do, spend the weekend catching up. If there isn't anything that needs fixing, try helping a neighbor with yard work or volunteering at a local shelter. Time slips past the Aries too quickly; don't take this time for granted, and when you're done tending to important things, you'll feel a thousand times better!

Romance

The Aries is notoriously impulsive. Impulse is easier to act upon when you're building on top of a solid, clean foundation. Make sure there's no bad blood between you and your lover. Take this time to apologize for any past wrongdoings, or hash out significant differences you both have. Don't just clean your home - clean your spirit. With cleanliness comes room for building, and the Aries is always building upward!

Monthly Goal

Put yourself to work;
Wipe the slate clean.

Thoroughness and hard work.

Taurus

Spring is upon us, and the Taurus can appreciate the beautiful weather. 

Being grounded in nature, sometimes getting out and about can be a problem despite the Taurus's love for the outdoors. Now is the time to go for that hike you've been putting off. Don't jump right into hang-gliding: do an activity you feel is relaxing and calm.  Let the sun shine down on you, Taurus. You have one simple task this month: get out and breathe that beautiful, fresh air to put your spirit at ease!

Romance

This month is an excellent time to get to know people. If you've been in a long-term relationship, then ask your partner to tell you something about them that you never knew. Explore new social or sexual options as well, as this will offer fresh possibilities for both of you. If you've been eyeing someone, try talking about your shared interests. Everybody loves that honest, Taurus charm!

Monthly Goal

Take things slowly and enjoy yourself;
Familiarize yourself with your partner and show off your charm.

Gemini

This month, you're all about confidence, Gemini!

It's time to organize those scattered thought and habits, and do something! Apply for the job you don't think you can get, or write that story you've been putting off because you aren't ready. If you've been planning a trip, take it. You'll be surprised at the things you're ready to achieve. No matter what you do this month, it's going to be easier with a head of confidence. That confidence will undoubtedly help you reach new heights.

Romance

It's time to put the Gemini's passion to the test! Take that good, old-fashioned Mercury passion and show your partner how much you care. Whether it's sex or just a date, it's time to go into romantic overdrive. If you're a Gemini on the prowl, check to see if your area is hosting any speed-dating parties, or try online dating. Your drive and social skills puts you at a great advantage, and people want to know you.

Perform a charming gesture that enhances your personality.

Cancer

You're a Cancer: the king or queen of your domain!

With Spring upon us, now is the perfect time to take charge of your home or office. Clean and organize your space. Clear out the garage so that you have more room to work. Find a way to organize your files better. Do all the laundry that's been piling up. Once your favorite place looks and feels great, purchase something new and exciting to give your space a little pizzazz, like a piece of art, new tablecloth or fancy office chair. It's time to make your area a warm place that you and other people can settle into comfortably.

Romance

Going along with the theme of your domain, this month marks the time to get comfortable with your lover. Try sharing your space with them. Let go of that stubborn Cancer attitude and invite your guy or gal over to visit. If you're invested in a long-term relationship, think about what it would be like to live together and permanently share a space. And if you want a date, try inviting your special someone over for dinner and a tour of your home. Treat them to a taste of you!

Leo

Leos are stars of the spotlight!

Lately, you've been feeling like that light has dimmed. It's time to get back into the swing of things! Whether it's work or play, March will be the month that you get back in touch with bosses, friends or coworkers. Throw a party or attend the office party. Call up old friends and invite them to spend time with you. Go out with your family. Remind yourself that you are the light of people's lives; people always love hearing from their sunny, Leo friend!

Romance

This month, shift the focus of your relationship to respect and stability. Since Leos are naturals at being the center of attention, (even when it's completely unintentional,) it's important to remind the person you care about that they're just as important as you are. Show that you respect them and make them feel good about themselves. Help them to understand that you're both in this together, and that all antics aside, your love is completely authentic.

Monthly Goal

Get back in touch with the world;
Make your partner feel important.

Traits to Use

Compassion and friendship.

Lucky Color, Number and Totem

Virgo

It's time to use that Virgo work-ethic to break away from the every-day!

Lately, Mercury has been directing you toward a stagnant, one-laned type of lifestyle. Virgo comfort can make it difficult to want to change. But this can lead to unhappiness. If you're working at a job you hate or dislike your major, it's time for a change. You may be tempted to turn this around at the end of the quarter or semester, but don't! Change something positive about your life so you can give 100% to something you want to do.

Romance
Virgos tend to be more reserved people. One of the most common misconceptions about the Virgo is that he or she is not romantic. This month, your job is to show your lover (or the person you've had your eye on) that you're sentimental. Buy them flowers, take them out for coffee or invite them over to watch a movie. And remember to be yourself; an honest Virgo is a treasure.

Monthly Goal
Stop doing what you hate and start doing what you love;
Show some romance!

Traits to Use
Optimism and control.

Traits to Explore
Risk-taking and freedom.

Lucky Color, Number and Totem

Libra

Libras love to go people-watching!

But sometimes, you get so caught up in the affairs of other people that you forget what you want. This month, the Libra needs to be treated well! Set some money aside so that you can take yourself out to lunch or coffee. Go on a vacation to a destination that you want to see. Bring your friends with you, but make sure you're doing something that you like. This month is all about you.

Romance

When you invest in a relationship, you invest. You like to do things for your partner, but you need to make sure that your partner is doing things for you. Take some time to think about the fairness of your relationship. If it's fair, then perfect; if it's unfair, then ask your partner to take you out or give you an unforgettable night.

Monthly Goal
Treat yourself as well as you treat others;
Be taken care of.

Traits to Use
Compatibility, friendliness.

Traits to Explore
Relaxation! 

Lucky Color, Number and Totem

Scorpio

You're in for a very interesting month, Scorpio!

You like to have control over your life, but it's time to loosen the reigns a little. First, take some chances instead of taking control. Go with the flow, Water-Sign. Second, take charge of the new opportunities you wouldn't have found otherwise. Do this and discover new perspectives to use in social or career situations.

Romance
You like to have at least some control over your relationship, Scorpio, but what happens when you let it go? This month, tell your lover to surprise you with something unexpected. You could end up at a new restaurant, or about to jump out of an airplane with a parachute. Give the reigns to your partner, and prepare to be pleasantly surprised at their romantic gestures.

Monthly Goal
Give serendipity a try;
Try something your partner wants.

Traits to Use
Strength and calmness.

Traits to Explore
Patience and kindness.

Lucky Color, Number and Totem

Sagittarius

With confidence and willpower, the Sagittarius is a great worker.

But sometimes, the Sagittarius can overlook things that need improvement. This month is all about polishing your skills to look and feel better. Although the Sag has a method, try learning a some new tricks of the trade to apply to your career or education. Rewrite your resume or an old story, or change your email signature. Be a better you, Sagittarius! 

Romance

The focus for March is positivity and stability. Stability isn't the Sag's strong suit, but it certainly doesn't hurt to have as a back-up for all the impulsive and fun decisions you make. Think about where you are or want to be in your relationship so that you and your lover can have time to act upon that wonderful, Sagittarius whimsy as you plan dates and events.

Monthly Goal
Improve yourself!;
Make room for stability.

Traits to Use
Willpower and diligence.

Stability and professionalism.

Lucky Color, Number and Totem
Silver.

Capricorn

The Capricorn is a hard worker, excellent at achieving success.

You want success with work, friends and education. But when was the last time you stopped and smelled the roses? It's spring, and this month, you need to -quite literally- stop and smell some flowers! Go for a hike, take a day off work, or spend your weekend camping. Taking a breather this month will help you maintain patience for important tasks as they arise.

Romance

There are two sides to a Capricorn: romantic and realistic. Sometimes, your rationality dictates a lack of romance...but it's there! This month, show it. Look into your partner's eyes and remind yourself why you're together, or go in search of somebody. Just give someone new a smile and a glance - use that natural Capricorn charm to reel them in and they can't resist.

Monthly Goal
Stop and smell the roses;
Pull out the ol' romance!

Traits to Use
Self-awareness and romance.

Traits to Explore
Relaxation and a calmer focal point.

Aquarius

The Aquarian is creative to an extreme.

Sometimes, harnessing a method of organization can be tough, and following through with something is often difficult. This month, push yourself to finish something and succeed. Purchase a date book or planner and start to get organized. Aquarians are excellent assets, and the first step to success is by showing your personality in a professional way.

Romance

Although you need to work on organization skills, don't let work drive you away from having a good time. Make sure you're spending time with the person you love or have your eye on. Don't hesitate to make plans with somebody. Remember, work time is for work, and play time is for play. If you can separate these two and dedicate yourself fully to each at the appropriate times, you will have a successful career and love life.

Monthly Goal
Mix personality with professionalism;
Separate work and play.

Traits to Use
Creativity and earnestness.

Traits to Explore
Organization and compartmentalizing.
