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, when March is drawing to a close and we start catching the scent of Easter in the air. The sun is trying to break through, and you can’t help but feel a flutter of excitement – because things are definitely happening. I’ve spoken to a few readers this morning who are feeling a surge of energy, and if you look at the stars today, it’s easy to see why.
Today’s Horoscope: The Stars’ Advice for Friday
For those of you who follow astrology, today is a truly fascinating day. Aries, currently in their prime, will be visited by a harmonious aspect that suddenly makes all projects started earlier this month fall into place. Leo, on the other hand, should pay attention to 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. Today is not the day to be timid – it’s a day to take action.
From Outer Space to Your Living Room
When we talk about Mars (the planet, not the month), it immediately puts me in the mood for something completely different. Maybe that’s why my social feeds have been filled with a specific trend this week. People online are into what they call the “Marshalls challenge” – you know, that American chain where you can score things for a steal. Combining treasure hunting at Marshalls with cosying up at home with a big pile of marshmallows on the sofa seems to be the new Friday night vibe. And I have to say, I’m totally on board.
- Marshalls: Perfect for snagging unique home decor finds ahead of the Easter weekend.
- Marshmallow: Absolutely essential when you’re making homemade Easter treats or just chilling with a cup of coffee.
- Guinea pigs: No, this isn’t 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 little and we had one named Ludde. For those of you with kids at home right now (the school holidays are fast approaching), this is the perfect weekend to get a little craft project going. Let the little ones draw guinea pigs or cut out egg shapes. Pair that with bringing out the Easter soda and some marshmallows from the pantry, and you’ve got yourself a Friday night sorted. It’s not about making it complicated, but about capturing that feeling of March – that transitional period between winter and spring, so charged with anticipation.
I’m convinced this is going to be one of the best weekends in a long time. Whether you spend it hunting for the season’s chicest potted plant at Marshalls, or you’d rather lie on the sofa eating marshmallows while stargazing – just do what feels right for you. Mars (the planet) gives us courage, and the month of March brings us the light. Let’s do this!
