Renowned psychic medium and astrologer Patsy Bennett shares her complete guide to horoscopes for spring.

Aries

It’s an excellent time of the year to invest in yourself and your own abilities, so be proactive, especially around the new moon on April 9. Jupiter will be in your money zone until the end of May, and will help you manage finances, but you must nevertheless avoid overspending during this time. If you wish to make a change in your relationship status – from single to partnership for example – the eclipses in March and April will help you, so be sure to take the initiative then.

Taurus

Make the most of a dynamic phase, as you have the opportunity to improve your daily routine and activities so they suit you more. The eclipses in March and April will bring changes to your career and general direction if you wish, so be ready to take advantage of change that could broaden your horizons. Jupiter in your finance sector from the end of May onwards will help you to build wealth, but you must avoid overspending, or you’ll begin a lengthy debt cycle.

Gemini

Events over the next three months will keep you busy, especially in March and April. The eclipses will promote the desire to bring more balance into your daily life. The solar eclipse on April 9 will open a fresh chapter in your social or work life. You’ll appreciate increased energy levels from the end of May onwards. This could also bring a sense of joy and abundance, which will provide the optimism necessary to be adventurous and especially in your love life.

Cancer

Nourishment and nurturing are two words synonymous with your sign and you’ll appreciate gaining the opportunity to nourish and nurture yourself this autumn. It’s an excellent phase to focus on your physical, emotional, spiritual and mental health. March is a romantic hotspot, so be sure to organise dates and treats. You’ll appreciate the chance to seize opportunities to grow during this phase. Your home life will be a focus now as a centre that can provide peace for you.

Leo

You’ll gain the opportunity to boost your career and status this season, and this is largely facilitated in March by the lovely aspect between Saturn and Jupiter. Make the most of this phase, as it’s both lucky for you and grounding, which will enable you to find a degree of stability and security. March is also a good time to consider where your priorities lie in shared arrangements, such as financial or duty-based relationships. Be prepared to reorganise your finances in this light.

Virgo

You’ll be inclined during the autumn to work hard so that you’re in a position to enjoy life more; to explore new ideas and to travel and experience fresh adventures. Romance can flourish, especially in March, so be sure to take the initiative. Mercury retrograde from early April will encourage you to slow down, and to re-evaluate how far you’ve come so far this year, especially in your personal life and finances, providing the chance to review and realign your goals.

Libra

It’s a season of healing in your relationships, especially around the lunar eclipse on March 25. If you’re a couple, this is a good time to find ways to revitalise your romantic life, but if you discover your paths are diverging, consider making changes in your direction or even your career. Singles may be drawn to welcome someone new into your life – or conversely will enjoy a year of singledom. Be prepared to manage finances to accommodate your fresh circumstances.

Scorpio

The focus will be largely on your personal life. You will need to find ways to balance your work with play to avoid feeling exhausted. Aim to find the peace and support you need at home to avoid stress. You’re changing how you earn and spend your money and so must be prepared to budget for fresh circumstances that spontaneously arise from your new situation. If you have not already set in place a strong budget for the year, March will be a good time to do so.

Sagittarius

Eclipse seasons such as the upcoming phase in March and April are known to be intense, and you are likely to be fairly busy during the autumn, especially at work and, if you volunteer, in your daily life. Find the time and quiet space to relax at home and be prepared to invest in this aspect of your life as unwinding will certainly help you to stay on top of things. You’ll find balance in your personal life by being careful with communications and avoiding misunderstandings.

Capricorn

The supermoon on March 10 will spotlight finances and the importance of stability and security in your life. Aim to find more balance and harmony in the shared aspects of your life, such as your personal relationships. Jupiter in your family sector until the end of May suggests there will be an opportunity to make changes regarding family. For example, you may be drawn to add people to your home or seek to downsize or upsize. Be careful to avoid overspending at home or with family.

Aquarius

The autumn will be a good time to organise your schedule to include more activities you love in your life. You otherwise risk either making work a focus now, or being easily distracted. The supermoon on March 10 will be a good time to rearrange finances if necessary. April is a good month to improve your health and to focus on close relationships and bringing more sensuality and luxury or relaxation into your life. A holiday or adventure will beckon in May.

Pisces

Romance is in the air, and so this is a lovely phase to be proactive if you’re looking for a companion or life partner. If you’re a couple, invest time and energy into your relationship as you’ll enjoy the romance. Mid-April, financial decisions will merit care: you must avoid overinvesting and indiscriminate spending. The end of May will bring focus to your home life, a property or family, and will provide the opportunity to find more balance between work and relaxation.
