March is here, and spring is on the way. The planets promise transformation, renewal, and a sweet finish. Here’s what you need to know about March’s cosmic weather.
March 2026 Overview
Mercury is retrograde as the month commences. Back up your computer, plan for delays, and slow down. Travel could be problematic, requiring an alternate route. Also, it’s best to avoid signing contracts or buying technology. Put that off until Mercury stations direct on the 20th.
Get ready for emotion-fueled action when Mars tours sensitive Pisces from the 2nd through April 9th. Mars isn’t too happy in the sign of the Fishes. Instead of the usual vim and vigor, motivation is lost. It’s like a wet blanket on a fire - plenty of steam in the beginning, only to quickly evaporate. You might have a harder time finishing what you start, so it’s best to pace yourself. Learn to listen to your body’s need for rest. Conflict can become heated and boil over. Keep your feelings in check if you want to avoid drama.
The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo on the 3rd delivers a jolt of clarity. Suddenly, you can see what’s up and which steps are necessary. It’s an ideal day to declutter your home and tidy your yard. Remove what’s overgrown, unnecessary, or unsightly.
The heat is on when Venus bounces into Aries on the 6th. The planet of love becomes impulsive and impatient. While passion is present, it’s best not to make hasty love decisions. A bit of restraint will ensure your heart leads wisely. For shy types, this Venus transit brings the courage to finally make a romantic move. Venus remains in Aries until the 30th.
After months of retrograde motion, Jupiter stations direct on the 10th. Now you can move forward with plans to expand, travel, or grow. Obstacles will soon move out of the way, making it easier to see progress.
An emotional reset button is hit when the New Moon in Pisces arrives on the 18th. This signals a fresh start, right before Spring. Clear away the old, shed some tears, and let your big heart open up. The more you go with the flow, the better you’ll feel. Begin creative projects, tend to your garden, and say yes to charitable endeavors.
The spring equinox is here when the Sun marches into Aries on the 20th. The following four weeks feel like a blast of new energy. Expect more passion, excitement, and opportunities. A few leaps of faith may be required, but it’s always easier to find courage when Aries season is here. The Sun leaves the Ram for the Bull on May 19th.
Good news: Mercury stations direct on the 20th. It’s been a wild ride, but now there is a promise of divine order. Feel free to travel, sign contracts, and update your technology gear. If you need to purchase a vehicle or computer, you can sally forth with confidence.
Pay attention to the 28th when Saturn makes a favorable aspect to Pluto. This combination of determination and willpower can push you toward your goal. What do you want to accomplish? What habits do you wish to break? Where are you ready to commit? Tune into this powerful energy, do the work, and watch your progress unfold. On the world’s stage, this aspect may bring a political reset. New, serious players emerge, and batons could be passed. The people have the power and can exercise it at the voting booths later in the year.
March finishes on a lovely note when Venus melts into Taurus on the 30th. Venus adores being in the sign of the Bull, which she rules.
