Is Long COVID the Match That Will Finally Light a Fire Under Research Into Women’s Reproductive Health?

Here are some of the women leading the charge on this research and what they’ve uncovered so far.

You’re entering a new era with your weekly horoscope for March 17 to 23, 2024! A couple planets change zodiac signs, and the astrological new year kicks off with the spring equinox and the start of Aries season, bringing a dose of initiatory energy.

But before all that, the week starts with the sun in Pisces linking up with Neptune, the planet of illusions and dreams, in Pisces on March 17. Feelings run deep today, and your intuition may be heightened, leaving you more influenced by your surroundings and susceptible to spiritual downloads.

Aries season officially begins on March 19, and with it, the 2024 spring equinox takes place—a moment in time when the day and night are of equal length, kicking off a period of increasing daylight hours. This energy brings a sense of renewal: As the light grows, so, too, does your motivation to go after what you desire. *This* is actually the cosmically aligned time to set New Year’s resolutions, if you’re into that type of thing.

The energy of the spring equinox on March 19 brings a sense of renewal: As the light grows, so does your motivation to go after what you desire.

On March 21, the sun in Aries forms a supportive sextile with transformative Pluto in Aquarius, leaving you feeling empowered and confident. You could be in awe of your own resilience and your evolution over time.

That same day, Venus and Saturn meet at the same point of Pisces, adding a more serious tone when it comes to love and self-expression. You could make a significant commitment on this day—or choose to walk away from a partnership or agreement that feels limiting or uninspiring.

Mars, the planet of motivation, enters Pisces on March 22 for the first time in nearly two years. As it transits the dreamy sign over the coming weeks, you could find yourself making choices based on your emotions and intuition. Given that Pisces is a mutable sign that craves variety, you might find that your interests also wax and wane. This is a great time to experiment or be spontaneous, rather than hold yourself to a regimented schedule.

To get a closer look at what these astrological shifts have in store for you, read on to find your zodiac sign’s weekly horoscope for March 17 to 23, 2024 (and be sure to read for your sun sign and your rising sign for the best idea of what to expect).
