On Wednesday, March 4, the Libra Moon shows us the value of relationships and connections. Then, on Friday, March 6, Venus enters Aries, where it meets up with Saturn. While Venus in this sign wants freedom, Saturn grounds us. The week ends with the Scorpio Moon, showing us that the strength we want is already within us. All we have to do is find it.
