Friday 27 March: How to Celebrate March with Mars, Marshalls and Guinea Pigs
Finally, it’s Friday, 27 March. There’s something special about this time of year, as March draws to a close and we start to catch the scent of Easter in the air. The sun is fighting to break through, and you can almost feel a flutter of excitement – because things are happening. I’ve spoken to several readers this morning who are buzzing with energy, and if you look at the stars today, it’s easy to see why.
Today’s Horoscope: What the Stars Have in Store for Friday
For those who follow astrology, this is a truly fascinating day. Aries, currently in their prime, is visited by a harmonious aspect that means any projects started earlier in the month suddenly fall into place. Leo, on the other hand, should be mindful of communication. Word on the street is there might be a slight tendency for misunderstandings around lunchtime, so double-check those texts before hitting send. For me, born under a different sign, it’s more about daring to let go of control. Mars is strong in the sky, pushing us to take those steps we’ve been putting off. This isn’t a day to be timid – it’s a day to act.
From Outer Space to Your Living Room
When we talk about Mars (the planet, that is, not the month), it instantly gets me thinking about something completely different. Maybe that’s why my social feeds have been filled with a specific trend this week. People online are all about something they call the “Marshalls challenge” – you know, that American chain where you can pick up things for a steal. Apparently, the new Friday night ritual is hunting for bargains at Marshalls, then cosying up at home with a big pile of marshmallows on the sofa. And honestly, I am totally here for it.
- Marshalls: Perfect for finding quirky home decor pieces to get ready for the Easter weekend.
- Marshmallow: An absolute must-have when you’re making homemade Easter treats or just snuggling up with a cup of coffee.
- Marsvin (Guinea Pigs): No, it’s not about shopping for pets, but isn’t it cute how the word pops up so close to Easter?
Guinea Pigs, Easter Soda, and Friday Feels
Talking about guinea pigs takes me back to when I was a kid and we had one named Ludde. For those of you with children at home right now (the school holidays are fast approaching), this is the perfect weekend to get a little crafty. Let the kids draw tiny guinea pigs or cut out egg shapes. Pair that with bringing out the Easter soda and a few marshmallows from the pantry, and you’ve got yourself a Friday night to remember. It’s not about doing anything fancy, it’s about capturing that feeling of March – that transition between winter and spring that’s so charged with anticipation.
I’m convinced this weekend is going to be one of the best in a long time. Whether you spend it hunting for the season’s chicest potted plant at Marshalls, or you prefer to lounge on the sofa eating marshmallows while gazing at the stars – just do what feels right for you. Mars (the planet) gives us courage, and the month of March gives us more light. Let’s do this!
