Zodiac Sign For March 16

[Stephaine Zitzow]

Asa professional astrologer, people ask me all types of questions. Of the most common curiosities is "what are the best zodiac signs?" along with its evil twin, "what are the worst zodiac signs?" While I appreciate any and all astrological inquiries, including zodiac signs compatibility, let me set the record straight: In astrology, there are no winners or losers. In fact, when you enter the metaphysical realm (the world of stars, tarot cards, tea leaves, etc.), that black-and-white binary goes straight out the window. In this magical, mystical domain, we work with nuance.

From an astronomical perspective, we know that the Sun doesn't move, as its stability anchors the entire solar system. But from our vantage here on planet Earth, the Sun is in constant motion. We can depend on its daily performance (including inspiring sunrises and dramatic sunsets), as well as its location in the sky. The position the Sun occupied at your exact moment of birth is known as your "sun sign" (sometimes referred to as "star sign" or "birth sign"), and it's the cosmic launching pad for both beginners and professional astrologers. (Your Rising Sign is another very important placement, and you can read about it in our guide to rising signs here). Your sun sign is determined by your date of birth and represents your core personality, sense of self, basic preferences, romantic compatibility, and ways in which you move through the world. This astrological placement sheds light on your innate gifts, as well as your hard-to-see blind spots. Your joys, wishes, flaws, and fears make you special and, when your sun sign is combined with the other planets and placements in your birth chart, it creates a distinctive celestial profile that serves as your cosmic fingerprint.

Got it? Good. Now let's take this to the next level. The 12 zodiac signs are also divided into sub-groups: four triplicities and three quadruplicities. If this seems a bit confusing, don't worry, there's a method to the madness. Triplicities refer to the four zodiac sign elements, of which there are three zodiac signs in each group: Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), and Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). Generally speaking, fire signs are passionate and exuberant, earth signs are practical and grounded, air signs are intellectual and curious, and water signs are intuitive and emotional.

Quadruplicities, also known as "modalities," refer to the signs' qualities and where each zodiac sign occurs within its respective season. There are three modalities, with four zodiac signs in each: Cardinal (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) occur at the beginning of a new season, and are excellent at taking action and starting initiatives; Fixed (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) occur in the middle of seasons, and are known to be steady, consistent forces that maintain movement; and Mutable (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces) occur at the end of a season, and possess effortless fluidity well-suited to change and transformation.

What sign is more likely to take a six-hour bath, followed by a luxurious Swedish massage and decadent dessert spread? Why Taurus, of course! Taurus is an earth sign represented by the bull. Like their celestial spirit animal, Taureans enjoy relaxing in serene, bucolic environments surrounded by soft sounds, soothing aromas, and succulent flavors. Read your sign's full profile here.

Have you ever been so busy that you wished you could clone yourself just to get everything done? That's the Gemini experience in a nutshell. Spontaneous, playful, and adorably erratic, Gemini is driven by its insatiable curiosity. Appropriately symbolized by the celestial twins, this air sign was interested in so many pursuits that it had to double itself. You know, NBD! Read your sign's full profile here.

Elusive and mysterious, Scorpio is one of the most misunderstood signs of the zodiac. Scorpio is a water sign that uses emotional energy as fuel, cultivating powerful wisdom through both the physical and unseen realms. In fact, Scorpio derives its extraordinary courage from its psychic abilities, which is what makes this sign one of the most complicated, dynamic signs of the zodiac.

What is the most valuable resource? For Capricorn, the answer is clear: Time. Capricorn is climbing the mountain straight to the top and knows that patience, perseverance, and dedication is the only way to scale. The last earth sign of the zodiac, Capricorn, is represented by the sea-goat, a mythological creature with the body of a goat and the tail of a fish. Accordingly, Capricorns are skilled at navigating both the material and emotional realms. Read your sign's full profile here. Next, read this month's Capricorn horoscope predictions.

Despite the "aqua" in its name, Aquarius is actually the last air sign of the zodiac. Innovative, progressive, and shamelessly revolutionary, Aquarius is represented by the water bearer, the mystical healer who bestows water, or life, upon the land. Accordingly, Aquarius is the most humanitarian astrological sign. At the end of the day, Aquarius is dedicated to making the world a better place. Read your sign's full profile here.

Celebrity astrologer Kyle Thomas, who is known for his cosmic guidance among celebrities, businesses and online influencers, spoke to \"Good Morning America\" about the best ways to take advantage of this powerful lunar event.

The Old Farmers' Almanac, which first began publishing the names for the full moons in the 1930s, states that some refer to the full Moon in March as the \"Worm Moon\" because earthworms are thought to appear around this time as the ground thaws from winter. According to NASA, southern Native American tribes specifically call it this due to the \"earthworm casts that appear as the ground thaws.\"

For similar reasons, other tribes named the moon based on different signs of spring, according to NASA. For example, some northern Native American tribes referred to the March full moon as the \"Crow Moon\" because the cawing of crows signals the end of winter.

As the Old Farmers' Almanac states, \"Many northern cultures have end-of-winter names for the March full Moon, such as the 'Snow Crust Moon' or 'Hard Crust on the Snow Moon' from the Ojibwe and Chippewa tribes near the Great Lakes. During March, deep snow thaws during warm days but refreezes during cold nights, creating a brittle crust on top of the snow.\"

The zodiac sign for each full moon is determined by where the moon is positioned in the night sky relative to the different astrological signs. Each year the moon will shift, resulting in different characteristics surrounding the moon, according to Thomas.

This year, the Worm Moon is positioned as a full moon in Libra, an air zodiac sign that is represented by the symbolic images of the scales and balance. \"This shows their innate desire for fairness, justice and logic,\" Thomas said, adding that Libra is a charming, social and kind zodiac.

This full moon is bringing your loved ones closer, Aries. \"An exciting declaration of love, decision to move in, engagement or even marriage could be in the works near this time,\" Thomas said. \"Singles can share in this vibe, too, by looking for someone with long-term potential.\"

Get ready to see some progress around your work and employment, Taurus! \"You'll be busier than ever as you're juggling many different responsibilities for the job,\" Thomas said, adding, \"If you end up leaving a position near this time, know that it's been a long time coming and you're destined for a better job ahead.\"

It's time to open up your heart, Gemini. \"Not only will you be supercharged to step out and have some fun, focusing on hobbies, sports or entertainment, but also you'll be in the mood for love,\" Thomas said.

Emotions may be running high around this time, Cancer. \"On one hand, you may have to pay attention to a significant family or parenting situation,\" Thomas said. \"However, this same energy could instead spotlight a home, domestic or real estate matter, instead.\"

You're reaching closer to your goal, Libra. Thomas said this full moon lunar eclipse \"could bring the culmination of a significant personal project or endeavor that you've been very focused upon that means the world to you.\"

Take a step back and recharge, Scorpio! \"While you're likely to be feeling a bit burnt out, this will give you the time to reflect in solitude where you are in your life and where you'd like to go,\" Thomas said. \"Listen to what your heart and spirit are telling you.\"

It's time to have some fun, Sagittarius! Exciting events are coming to your calendar. \"Catching up with friends and meeting new people will be excellent uses of your time, so enjoy yourself and don't work too hard,\" Thomas said.

You're moving up, Capricorn. \"With the full moon lunar eclipse spotlighting your career and legacy, you could be up for a review, promotion or new job offer,\" Thomas said. \"This is an important time to not only reflect on what you've built in the past year, but what you'd like to scale toward next.\"

Spread your wings and fly high, Aquarius. \"This month's full moon lunar eclipse encourages you to explore new territory and horizons. You'll feel especially curious about what else life has to offer you, so don't sit back and wait -- charge onward!\" Thomas said.
