Zodiac Check-in: Your Monthly Astro Update- March 2024

Dive into the month ahead with practical star insights – your guide to navigating the cosmos this February.

Aries (21 Mar – 19 Apr):

March is a great month for Aries as the planetary energies enhance your sign. Your relationships with other people – including close romantic partnerships – are highlighted on the 25th when the lunar eclipse and Full Moon light up your relationship zone. This will bring problems to a head for some but will create loving warmth for others.

Taurus (20 Apr – 20 May):

Your health and wellbeing are highlighted this month, especially around the eclipse and Full Moon on the 25th. Be cautious about the decisions you make at the moment – especially regarding money and longterm security – as some of the planetary energies affecting you could make you a bit reckless or more likely to take a big (dangerous) risk.

Gemini (21 May – 20 Jun):

A wonderful month for those Geminis looking for a new job or perhaps a completely new career path! Your career zone is highlighted with several planets and the New Moon so act now if you want a positive career boost. The Full Moon and eclipse on the 25th bring lots of good luck for love, money, and children/pregnancy.

Cancer (21 Jun – 22 Jul):

Cancer is the most home and family focused sign and this month the Full Moon and eclipse highlight your zone of home and family – so you should be feeling very comfortable with the energies. A phase of life may be coming to a close this month, let go and know that a new stage is opening up before long. Money matters are mostly positive.

Leo (23 Jul – 22 Aug):

It may be hard to keep up with the pace of life and all of your commitments this month, especially if you are feeling confused and nostalgic about the past and not really in touch with the present. The New Moon will bring good luck to you if you are hoping to get a loan for something important – just be cautious about how big a commitment you make.

Virgo (23 Aug – 22 Sep):

The New Moon on the 10th lands in your relationship zone, highlighting fresh beginnings for existing couples, while for others it will bring a new serious love into their lives. Loving Venus will spread her positive energy through all of your dealings with others after the 12th, while the Full Moon eclipse will make your intuition more powerful.

Libra (23 Sep – 22 Oct):

There is a Lunar eclipse in your sign on the 25th , which will create a boost of emotional and spiritual energy in all parts of your life. Communication matters will become easier after the 10th when chatty Mercury enters your relationship zone, while singles may find a new love interest through their work. A good time for paying off debt.

Scorpio (23 Oct – 21 Nov):

The Full Moon and eclipse on the 25th will bring a big boost to your subconscious zone and your intuition and hunches. Your sleep may be a bit disrupted, but the dreams you do have may hold an important message for you. Avoid getting involved with other people’s secrets or dramas, especially if you feel that they are doing the wrong thing.

Sagittarius (22 Nov – 21 Dec):

It may feel like your life is going one step forward and two steps back this month as you may have to finish off something that you thought had been sorted out. The New Moon on the 10th will help you to end one cycle and start afresh, especially if there is money involved. You can rely on your friends to be truthful.

Capricorn (22 Dec – 19 Jan):

The eclipse and Full Moon on the 25th land right in your career and reputation zone, so it is a good time for reaping the rewards for your past efforts. This can be a financial reward that comes through a promotion or step up, or it can just be being really appreciated and acknowledged for all that you have done. Romance is highlighted.

Aquarius (20 Jan – 18 Feb):

A good month for getting your finances organised and healthy by being very disciplined and setting up new ways of handling your money. Your habits and daily routines are highlighted – especially if they are having an impact on your health. You may need to make some changes so you can enjoy the good times for a long time to come.

Pisces (19 Feb – 20 Mar):

Loving, warm Venus enters your sign on the 12th creating a harmonious and romantic time for some. You may be able to attract what you really need and want through being positive and asking nicely. The New Moon on the 10th is in your sign, creating a fresh start and new beginning in whatever area needs the most attention.

Even though Tasmania is known for its mild summers, it doesn’t take much to get sunburnt. Tasmania experiences extreme ultraviolet (UV) levels, but contrary to popular belief this isn’t due to the hole in the ozone layer, which is actually south of the continent.While higher UV levels often occur at the same time as higher temperatures, the two are not linked. Instead, UV levels are determined by the angle of the sun in the sky: the higher the sun, the higher the UV. In December and January, the position of the sun over Tasmania gives the state a UV index of 11 or more on most days, which is classified as “extreme” on the UV index. Tasmania’s lack of humidity and generally clear skies contribute to the stinging feeling of the sun. UV can reflect off buildings and water, making it possible to get a higher dose of UV from these reflected rays, even in the shade.

Setting up shop during a pandemic was a risky move, but if the crowd at Dāna Eating House (Dāna) on a Friday night is anything to go by, it’s one that’s paid off. With tables of diners chatting and laughing over drinks, the music and conversation buzzes off the monstera-leaf-green walls. Low-hanging rattan lights and worn wooden floorboards give the newly opened South-East Asian fusion venue in Hobart’s CBD a relaxed vibe.

A simple cave provided the perfect hideout for one of Tasmania’s most brutal bushrangers – and you can easily walk to it from Fern Tree. Sarah Aitken went in search of the story of Rocky Whelan.

Our geography seeps into our being. It can take grit to withstand chilling winters and stinging rain, isolated (even more so now) from some things that people interstate and overseas may take for granted. But people from Hobart have a certain way about them that can be both grounded and in flight at the same time.

An entrepreneur, a law grad, a mum, an advocate for women facing human traf­ficking, Hannah Vasicek doesn’t do things in halves.

Thank you to Luke Brokensha for mobilising his friends and local residents recently to host two rubbish clean ups along the Hobart Rivulet after heavy rains.

It’s hard to believe it’s not standard practice to have a working phone in every aged care room - shared phones make private conversations impossible and increase the risk of spreading COVID-19.
Tacks on the tracks. Mountain bikers beware of tacks being left on certain tracks on the mountain.
Just when you think your cousins are alright. NZ Opposition Leader Judith Collins took aim at Tassie during her recent (unsuccessful) campaign, calling us Australia’s “poor cousin.” She also seems worried about us nabbing tech businesses, “It’s a lovely part of the world but do you necessarily want to go there with your high- tech business? Possibly not,” she said. We beg to differ!
