If you're in a rut, you can count on a friend to help you out of it this month. But if you're life is moving along smoothly, a pal can put a bump in the road that complicates your personal life. Mercury, your clever ruling planet, is in impulsive Aries and your 11th House of Groups this month. A tendency to speak first and think later could provoke some conflict with a bud or as part of a team. Yet if you're feeling adventurous, this transit can also indicate the potential to connect with some new through an organization or by working on a project together.

Still, Mercury is slowing down later this month and will turn retrograde on March 30. Promises made in haste may have to be modified upon further review. Getting noticed should be relatively easy, though, since the tender Pisces Sun is in your highly visible 10th House of Public Places until March 20. While your kindness and imagination can make a positive impression on the one you love or a potential partner, you might spread yourself so thin by taking on more than you can handle that you'll have little energy left for your personal life.

The Sun enters fiery Aries on March 20, which should boost your enthusiasm and narrow your focus on one person or activity at a time. Passion could lead you to strange people or places with dynamic Mars in quirky Aquarius and your 9th House of Faraway Places all month. As long as you keep things light and playful you have more to gain than to lose by stretching your social boundaries.
