Sunday, MARCH 1

The Moon spends the day in Leo, stirring our need to play, express ourselves, and create. We’re enthusiastic and take particular pride in our accomplishments.

This Moon encourages our theatrical, playful, and competitive side. The Moon’s trines to Chiron and Ceres tonight promote healing and reconciliation. Because we’re not inclined to worry over details or rely too heavily on rationale, it’s easier to see the bigger picture. We’re also more understanding and nurturing with others.

With a Mercury-Juno sextile, we want to learn, reason things out, and gain knowledge to empower ourselves. It’s an excellent time to collaborate with someone to generate ideas or solve problems and enjoy mental rapport. Feelings might develop for someone due to what is said or a mental connection made.

Main Astrology Calendar

Monday, MARCH 2

Mars enters Pisces today, where it will transit until April 9th, and idealism comes to the fore. During this cycle, we might de-emphasize some of our traditional goals and find ourselves more motivated to pursue spiritual or emotional drives. We dislike confrontation, and we may often put others’ needs ahead of our own. We’re helpful and service-oriented.

Our output is variable rather than straightforward, and our energy is similarly up and down. As well, our desires and methods for achieving our goals become more complex in the weeks ahead. We tend to run on intuition and instinct before taking action.

There is some tendency to want to get started before we have a good plan, as Mars and Jupiter form a minor square. This aspect excites our desire to do something new and produces some agitation and competitive feelings that can either distract us or spur us to improve.

Enthusiasm and motivation can be incredible if we know where to channel excess energy. Still, overconfidence and overestimation of what we can do may lead to poor decisions or regrettable actions. We can also be rather argumentative and reactive with this combination influencing the day.

The Moon is void from 7:28 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Mars), until the Moon enters Virgo at 7:34 AM EST (a brief VOC period).

Tuesday, MARCH 3

A total Lunar Eclipse occurs today in the sign of Virgo at 6:38 AM EST.

This eclipse brings sudden awareness to our lives, particularly in areas requiring more order. Something is exposed or illuminated, prompting us to get in touch with matters we may have been neglecting or putting off, especially regarding our work, services, habits, health, and routines.

This eclipse is the fifth in a set of seven occurring along the Virgo-Pisces axis from September 17th, 2024, to February 20th, 2027. We’ve put in some work on building our faith, and today’s eclipse in Virgo prompts us to get organized to further manage our work-rest balance.

Main Astrology Calendar

The Moon is Full in Virgo on March 3, 2026, at 6:38 AM EST. This is a total Lunar Eclipse.

Lunar Eclipse in Virgo: March 3, 2026

A Full Moon occurs when the Sun opposes the Moon, and in this case, when the Sun in Pisces forms an opposition to the Moon in Virgo. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. Certainly, it can be an emotional time – a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 12 degrees and 54 minutes of Virgo opposite the Sun at 12 degrees and 54 minutes of Pisces.

It’s the fifth eclipse in a set of seven occurring along the Virgo-Pisces axis from September 17th, 2024, to February 20th, 2027. The first one was a Lunar Eclipse in Pisces. While we’ve been focusing on building our faith, this March eclipse in Virgo prompts us to consider getting organized and how it affects the work-rest balance.

This eclipse serves as a prompt, nudge, or push to make improvements in Virgo- and Pisces-ruled areas of life in our charts, and feelings of discontent can magnify. It’s a time to resolve matters, strike a balance, take a lesson, and move on, but take some time with this–eclipses can temporarily hide a part of our lives for us to focus on another. Ultimately, we should be striving for a balance.

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo: March 2026 (Additional Points)

This eclipse affects people with personal planets and points at 8 to 18 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) most significantly.

Lunar Eclipses are about relationships and polarities. With the Virgo-Pisces axis involved, this Lunar Eclipse presses us to look more closely at our needs, lacks, and wants concerning the balance between Virgo-ruled and Pisces-ruled areas of life. We are encouraged to find a balance between day-to-day functions and routines, physical health, and the need for order (Virgo) and vision, spiritual health, disorder, and the infinite (Pisces).

Read more about this and other eclipses affecting our lives in Eclipses/Lunations.

Virgo rules the tools and techniques we use to deal with day-to-day life, while Pisces rules the tools we use to deal with our spiritual selves. The key to balance lies in identifying and expressing our spiritual needs while maintaining order in our everyday lives. Neglecting either end of the axis will surely backfire–we would either be living in chaos or excessive order.

The contrast between precise, logical, work-centered, factual Virgo and spiritual, compassionate, holistic Pisces comes into full bloom. The energy of the Virgo Moon is the awareness of the need for more precision, attention to detail, and responsibility. The Pisces Sun, on the other hand, is visionary–focused on what’s universal and hard to define.

This Full Moon is about emotional declarations. Something has been building inside us, likely of a personal nature, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out. Over the coming months, we will discover what this declaration means for us. For now, it’s difficult to sit on our feelings. We need to express them.

With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic “illumination” occurs in our own lives. However, these new feelings and revelations are emotional ones, as there is a sense of emotions bursting forth into our consciousness. It’s time to express ourselves and let things out of our systems. Of course, we might want to exercise some care while doing so, knowing that what is coming out of us is new and not particularly rational as yet.

This total Lunar Eclipse urges us to strike a balance between work and service, practicality and impracticality, criticism and acceptance.

This eclipse in Virgo is about awakening to the need to enjoy more order in our lives. This is an eyes-wide-open time for our work, habits, health, and routines. We are likely to receive strong messages from our intuition regarding our next move along these lines.

Emotions, feelings, and revelations in the weeks following this eclipse are pivotal. This is a rewarding Full Moon eclipse, ripe with possibilities and learning experiences. However, it can take some time before we get the whole picture.

A crisis of sorts (which can be a crisis of consciousness) or sudden awareness of a lack in our lives provides us with a golden opportunity to explore our emotional needs within the context of the house polarity where the eclipse occurs in our natal charts.

Relationships may be challenged, broken, or strengthened at this time. Our discovery is emotionally charged and dramatic–everything feels big and larger than life at this time. Epiphanies are likely as we become acutely aware of our lack. This understanding can propel us into affirmative action, although there can be some initial level of chaos.

However, it’s important to note that we’re temporarily in the dark about a matter at the time of an eclipse, and we’re seeing another area of life as if we’re looking at it through a magnifying glass. It’s distorted—we don’t yet have the full picture. This perspective does help us, ultimately, but it’s wise to remember that we’re missing something and to defer judgment.

This is a time to work on clearing up past patterns that have been holding us back from fulfillment in our everyday lives.

Revelations coming in can be blown up and dramatic but not discountable since they come from real feelings. With eclipses, we get a strong emphasis on one area of life but a blackout in another area, and it makes sense to wait to make big decisions for when we can see the whole picture.

This Lunar Eclipse can have a way of bringing dysfunctional areas of our lives to our attention. Emotions and realizations feel big. Plans can blossom.

Through events, circumstances, and epiphanies after the time of this eclipse, we learn that we need to get in touch with our needs for a stronger connection with our routines, work, and physical health needs. To feel fulfilled, we need to acknowledge and embrace our need for our daily routines to serve us well.

We become aware of where we have been overdoing our focus on replenishment where it’s come at the expense of living an organized life.

Full Moons are always helpful for magnifying pre-existing problems so that we can see where to bring back balance. Our larger work should focus on reaching a good balance. Enlightenment in the weeks following the lunation provides us with a golden opportunity to explore our emotional needs, ultimately leading to positive actions and decisions.

This eclipse gets a nice boost from Jupiter in Cancer–our domestic goals harmonize with our eclipse mission. Family can be supportive. We’re hopeful and optimistic, which helps our cause.

In 2007, a Lunar Eclipse occurred at a similar degree as this Virgo one on March 3rd, and in 1988 and 1980, Lunar Eclipses also occurred at a similar degree. It might be helpful to think back to issues in your life that were in effect around these dates, if applicable, to get an idea of how this 2026 Lunar Eclipse might affect you.

However, you can also look back in a general sense to eclipse sets occurring along the same Virgo-Pisces axis as the current one in effect from September 2024 to February 2027 for more information gleaned by looking to the past to understand themes in the present and future.

The following are also periods of your past, if applicable, that may have had similar themes to this current eclipse set:

Wednesday, MARCH 4

A Mercury-Pluto semi-square this morning can find us mildly skeptical. This influence can provoke tension, mental distress, and worry. We might obsess over an issue that we can’t control.

This minor challenge adds an edge to our thinking and communication. We could feel pressured or troubled, and we might take detective work a little too far.

But while we can be somewhat mistrustful under this influence, if we harness the energy and use it for good, we can develop strategies to get to the bottom of a matter. With Mercury retrograde, it’s important to consider that we’re likely to see more to the story later.

Venus forms a sextile to Uranus, however, and it encourages us to let go so we can move on. This is a liberating influence as we open ourselves up to different ideas, ways of relating, people, or experiences. It brings us out of our shells and stirs our bolder, more innovative natures, socially speaking.

We are most interested in all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary concerning romantic involvements, entertainment or pleasures, and financial undertakings. We may be experimenting, improvising, and trying new ways of relating to others and expressing ourselves.

With this transit, we could discover alternative ways to make (or spend) money. Although somewhat detached, we’re freer with our feelings and find beauty in the unfamiliar or uncommon.

The Moon is void today from 9:54 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Uranus), until the Moon enters Libra at 1:57 PM EST.

Main Astrology Calendar

Thursday, MARCH 5

The Sun forms a trine with Jupiter today, stirring hope and a desire to improve and impress. We seek to grow a venture, a relationship, our knowledge, our personal philosophy, or a self-improvement program. We might make grand gestures and rise above petty problems and differences more readily.

Optimism and confidence are core elements in the energy of this transit. It boosts our tolerance, and we can be ready to give one another the benefit of the doubt. Enthusiasm runs high, and cooperation comes easily.

As well, Mercury, Venus, and Pallas form parallels, promoting cooperation, diplomacy, and congeniality. We may be looking back and clarifying feelings or connections, and we tend to intellectualize emotions and affections.

We might enjoy connecting with others who share similar ideas and ideals, and we’re especially conscious of being fair and balanced.

The Moon is void from 6:23 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Scorpio the next day, Friday, March 6th, at 11:02 PM EST.

Main Astrology Calendar

Friday, MARCH 6

With today’s Sun-Uranus quintile, we embrace our uniqueness. We more readily find channels to express our need for change and progress in creative and unique ways.

Venus enters Aries today, and will visit the sign until the 30th. With Venus in Aries, we are bold, fresh, and a little impatient with matters of the heart. We don’t look back–we’re not interested in apologizing or dwelling on the past. Our desires are strong, and we express them spontaneously, enthusiastically, and directly. Our tastes are simple, but we can feel the need to fulfill them urgently in the weeks ahead.

Venus forms a parallel to Saturn and is approaching a parallel to Neptune, pulling up romantic, devotional, or sentimental feelings along with a stronger sense of reality and responsibility in our relationships.

The Moon spends most of the day in Libra, and we can be particularly concerned with finding a balance or reaching a compromise, but it moves on to Scorpio tonight at 11:02 PM EST.

The Moon continues its void period until it enters Scorpio today at 11:02 PM EST.

Main Astrology Calendar

Saturday, MARCH 7

Past matters can come up for further inspection today, and our inner worlds can be very animated as a result. It’s a day for looking at old problems and issues in new ways. It’s a good idea to take notes, as we may not yet see the significance of what we’re discovering and what new ideas might come from these discoveries.

The inferior conjunction of Mercury and the Sun today opens a unique window into the past, potentially shaping our future.

This marks an exciting time to process recent events and ideas. As we begin to view problems from a fresh perspective, we can anticipate the birth of significant new ideas that could hold real importance in our lives. What we say or write now carries greater weight.

Consider that we may not have all the facts to reach a definite conclusion, and we might have to revise plans or decisions later. As we begin to see recent decisions in a new light, however, a new understanding can redirect us.

Venus is conjunct and parallel Neptune today, heightening our awareness of beauty and compassion. We can feel renewed on creative levels with this transit. We’re easily influenced, seducible, and seductive. Our imaginations are immense, for better or for worse. Psychic openness and gentleness are themes in our interactions now.

It can be a magical time on a romantic or social level, although it could also be a confusing or illusory influence.

Main Astrology Calendar

Sunday, MARCH 8

Retrograde Mercury is quintile Uranus this morning, and we head toward a Mercury-Jupiter trine, inspiring creative ways to approach technical matters. We might return to a previous idea from a new perspective.

Mercury in harmony with Jupiter boosts our optimism and faith. We gain a positive outlook through conversations and a sense of hope or trust in the future. We are seeking extra meaning to our projects and experiences.

Venus aligns with Saturn today, and we seek clarity. We’re more thoughtful about our attachments and affections. Regarding finances and relationships, we may need to limit a pleasure or indulgence or sacrifice a material benefit for a spiritual one (or vice versa). Extravagances can catch up with us, and buckling down is necessary.

Still, we might feel good about making a mature choice now. We may experience a new sense of realism in our relationships. It can also be a time to bond more closely with loved ones by sharing responsibilities, concerns, or dilemmas. We might face reality about our finances, a personal belief, or a love/social matter.

A commitment is possible now, or there can be a “test” to an existing commitment. We’re taking our interactions, pleasures, relationships, and money more seriously today. Responsibility, maturity, quality, and simplicity are attractive to us now.

While we can be cautious about expressing ourselves and our feelings, we’re paying more attention to being sincere, honest, and precise.

Main Astrology Calendar

Monday, MARCH 9

The Mercury-Jupiter trine perfects early today, and our thinking is optimistic. We want to learn and share the truth, and we may receive good news or offers. Connecting with others comes more easily as we follow our curiosity.

The Moon continues its transit of strategic, perceptive Scorpio until 11:37 AM EDT, when it heads into direct, spontaneous Sagittarius.

As the day advances, we head toward a Venus-Pluto sextile that strongly influences today. This transit gently breaks down barriers, helping us gain new insight into our needs for love, comfort, or pleasure and into our money situation. We might take a comfortably strategic approach to these affairs.

Our feelings are more focused and intensified, generally in a pleasant, positive way. In fact, we seek depth of emotion and authenticity in our dealings.

This can be a good time to do what we love, follow our passions, or pursue a pleasure more heartily than usual. If we seize the opportunity, we can advance our interests with finances and relationships.

The Moon is void from 7:29 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Uranus), until the Moon enters Sagittarius at 11:37 AM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Tuesday, MARCH 10

Venus perfects its sextile to Pluto early today, but the Sun also forms a semi-square to Pluto, and while a connection made or a moment shared can be significant, we can experience edginess or tension related to pressures to perform or advance. If we fear we’re out of the loop, it can be hard to accept it. There can be a struggle to let go of the inconsequential.

We might crave a sense of control over events, relationships, and circumstances, becoming frustrated at any sign that we don’t have it. Tensions can surface if we’ve been holding onto worries and concerns. The more we bottle up, the more pressure builds.

However, the Sagittarius Moon can help us see the bigger picture as the day advances.

As well, Jupiter stations and turns direct today, after retrograde motion since November 11th, 2025.

This change of direction can mark a turning of the corner for certain projects and relationships. It’s also about our outlook and attitude–we experience increasing enthusiasm as we advance.

With Jupiter direct, our confidence in ourselves, our beliefs, and the universe is building. We are more lighthearted and ready to share ourselves and what we’ve learned with others. Our dreams and goals are in focus, and they’re moving along!

Main Astrology Calendar

Jupiter stations and turns direct today.

Jupiter now turns direct at 15° Cancer 05′.

Jupiter turned retrograde on November 11, 2025, at 25° Cancer 09′, and Jupiter now turns direct, ending its retrograde.

Jupiter was retrograde from November 11, 2025, to March 10, 2026, in the sign of Cancer.

Jupiter Retrograde in Cancer: November 11, 2025-March 10, 2026

Jupiter Retrograde in Cancer: November 11, 2025-March 10, 2026

• Jupiter enters retrograde zone/shadow on August 17, 2025, at 15° Cancer 05′
• Jupiter stations and turns retrograde on November 11, 2025, at 25° Cancer 09′ Rx
• Jupiter stations and turns direct on March 10, 2026, at 15° Cancer 05’D
• Jupiter leaves retrograde zone/shadow on June 6, 2026, at 25° Cancer 09′

Note that Jupiter spent its retrograde cycle in the sign of CAncer.

See also Jupiter in Cancer.

Gradually over the next few weeks, matters ruled by Jupiter will move forward more straightforwardly. Our confidence in ourselves and the universe builds. Our faith and perspective expand, although as this shift occurs now, problems can seem larger than life.

This direct turn can feel refreshing.

Wednesday, MARCH 11

The Last Quarter Moon occurs this morning, and we crave action or movement in our pursuits. It’s not the best time to start a significant project, as the Moon’s waning light symbolizes a descent into unconsciousness.

However, it’s reliable energy for taking a mature look at a situation, and it makes sense to process recent revelations.

The Moon spends the day in Sagittarius, inspiring us to seek knowledge and experience. This Moon transit is exploratory, philosophical, and spontaneous. Optimism is one of the positive traits of this position; neglecting essential details of a plan is a potential weakness. We should be careful not to commit to something we don’t yet have the resources for.

Jupiter forms a trine to Pallas today, and we can be especially helpful, ready to share words of wisdom. It’s a strong influence for big-picture planning and thinking.

The Moon is void today from 5:39 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to the Sun), until the Moon enters Capricorn the next day, Thursday, March 12th, at 12:08 AM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Thursday, MARCH 12

The Moon leaves Sagittarius and enters Capricorn shortly into the day, at 12:08 AM EDT.

The Moon in Capricorn is earthy, practical, and wise. We become more aware of our responsibilities today. This morning, we can encounter some resistance to wholeheartedly embracing them, but once we do, the day is strong for recognizing our need for order and self-discipline.

However, with Venus semi-sextile Mars, we might struggle to decide whether to take a direct or an indirect approach to getting what we want. We may be better off recognizing that it doesn’t have to be one way or the other–a combination would be ideal, or else the see-sawing can be confusing to all.

The Moon continues its void period until it enters Capricorn today at 12:08 AM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Friday, MARCH 13

The Moon spends the day in industrious, wise Capricorn. Its opposition with Jupiter this morning can stir restlessness and discontent, however. We can experience tension created by skewed expectations, as we swing between rigidity and impracticality.

However, as the day advances, we’re no longer conflicted, making it easier to fully connect with our responsibilities. The Moon’s sextile to the Sun this evening can help us find satisfying and beneficial channels for self-expression and release of emotions.

Mars aligning with the True North Node of the Moon today can move us to pursue our goals, encouraging a dynamic sense of motivation and inspiration. Our passions and interests may connect us with others.

Main Astrology Calendar

Saturday, MARCH 14

In this final week of Mercury’s retrograde, Mercury forms a semi-sextile with Venus today, and our words may not reflect what’s in our hearts. As we strive to get the words just right, we risk falling short in terms of sensitivity.

This transit subtly contrasts a logical and playful approach. While we may not be especially focused, we’re adaptable and making an effort to understand one another.

Retrograde Mercury is also approaching an alignment with Mars, which perfects tomorrow morning and can signal some building mental agitation but also enthusiasm.

With today’s Mars-Chiron semi-square, standing up for what we believe in may not be comfortable for now. There can be difficulties expressing our anger or desires directly, which can lead to challenges but also possibly some interesting detours.

The Moon continues its transit of Capricorn until 11:13 AM EDT, when it enters Aquarius.

The Aquarius Moon aligns with Pluto and harmonizes with Neptune and Saturn, and we’re connecting with our inventive, innovative sides. We can feel a deeper kinship with others through commitment to a cause.

The Moon is void from 7:33 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Uranus), until the Moon enters Aquarius at 11:13 AM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Sunday, MARCH 15

Retrograde Mercury aligns with Mars this morning, and a problem from the past can re-emerge. We can feel driven to take care of it, although it can be challenging to stay centered. We should watch for impatience, snappiness, and impulsive moves and words.

This conjunction is suitable for motivated, energetic work, particularly related to communications and the mind. We may want to get right to the point, so that communication may be insensitive.

With Mercury retrograde, we might renew interest in handling an old problem or reviving a past project. This can be a time of racing minds and excited thoughts. Keeping busy and making headway satisfies us more than usual at the moment. It will be especially important to channel excess mental energy constructively.

We’re also influenced by a Mercury-Chiron semi-square, suggesting some hesitation in making decisions as the day progresses. This transit also challenges us to communicate with more sensitivity.

Today’s Saturn-Neptune parallel reminds us of our mission to make our dreams a reality and to act on our ideals, visions, and compassion.

Main Astrology Calendar

Monday, MARCH 16

Venus forms a semi-square with Uranus, stirring restlessness or discontent with our current pleasures or pastimes. We can experience unusual attractions, whether to people, objects, or situations, that might prompt us to act on a whim.

Ideally, these new experiences and attractions, though unpredictable, can lead to exciting changes in our lives, adding to our feelings of joy and freedom.

Today’s Aquarius Moon square to Uranus this afternoon also sparks our need for emotional freedom, but it could also stir up stubbornness or rebellion.

However, the Sun’s harmony with Juno positions us well to strengthen and support one another and, in the process, build trust. We take more pride in our relationships and projects and are willing to put more effort into them.

The Moon enters Pisces at 7:16 PM EDT, encouraging us to connect with our inner world. We’re paying more attention to endings and past matters.

The Moon is void from 3:57 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Uranus), until the Moon enters Pisces at 7:16 PM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Tuesday, MARCH 17

The Moon spends the day in Pisces, aligning with Mercury and the North Node of the Moon as they form a conjunction this morning. Learning, teaching, and communicating are in strong focus. We might make valuable contact with people who share our intellectual interests, help solve old problems, or introduce us to ideas that help us improve or expand. Or, we connect with information that similarly challenges us to grow.

The Moon also aligns with Mars today, awakening emotional desire and stirring some level of urgency or a desire for action. Still, on this day before a New Moon, it’s best to work on putting things behind us rather than pushing forward.

Main Astrology Calendar

Wednesday, MARCH 18

Venus squares Jupiter today, prompting misjudgments or overblown expectations, especially regarding our feelings, pleasures, and desires. This transit exaggerates things, leading us to overdo or overstate our feelings.

However, if we keep this in check, it can help us entertain new ideas and approaches related to entertainment, money, and love.

The Sun forms a sextile with Uranus this afternoon, and then a New Moon occurs in Pisces at 9:23 PM EDT. We can be quite inspired, believing in progress.

We’re preparing for a new beginning and starting fresh. We awaken to the need for a spiritual vision or more magic in our lives. It’s time to revitalize ourselves through experiences that require imagination, compassion, gentleness, or that represent a “break” from the routine. We may put something behind us in order to begin anew.

Today, we’re gathering the inspiration to take a leap of faith. With this potent Pisces energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives in the weeks ahead. We’re motivated to carve out time for peaceful and rejuvenating activities or to entertain a dream and perhaps share it with someone special.

The Sun-Uranus sextile takes on more power as it occurs so close to the new Moon, as it stirs our willingness to adapt to new circumstances, ideas, and unfamiliar situations. Spirits are high, and we’re excited about change. Group connections can be enlightening, and we’ll do ourselves a favor if we embrace flexibility and innovation. We might arrive at creative solutions to problems and make happy improvements now.

In two days, Mercury will end its retrograde, and the process of unblocking information will also begin. For now, it’s best to wait and see rather than push anything forward. At the same time, we can enjoy a spirit of progress and envision the change we want to make.

The Moon is void today from 9:24 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to the Sun), until the Moon enters Aries the next day, Thursday, March 19th, at 12:03 AM EDT.

The Moon is New in Pisces on March 18, 2026, at 9:23 PM EDT.

The following is the New Moon astrological chart wheel for the Pisces New Moon in 2026.

New Moon in Pisces Chart: March 18th, 2026

The New Moon in Pisces marks the beginning of a new cycle. The Aquarius New Moon cycle ends and the Pisces New Moon cycle begins.

The New Moon in Pisces is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Fish. These include taking a leap of faith, accepting imperfections in ourselves and in others as a different kind of “perfection,” starting a project that requires imagination and visualization skills, consciously putting time aside for peaceful and rejuvenating activities, and sharing a dream with another.

With this potent Pisces energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives.

With the planets arranged so closely to one another, we can be particularly focused, determined, and concentrated. We should watch for being overly stubborn or narrow in our focus.

This New Moon’s harmony with Uranus via a tight sextile points to inspiration and belief in progress.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 28 degrees and 27 minutes of Pisces, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 24 to 30 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) and about 0 to 2 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) most significantly.

Alternate chart with additional bodies (Chiron, asteroids, Eris, etc.):

Thursday, MARCH 19

The Moon enters Aries several minutes into the day, and we’re ready to go our own way, pioneer, and initiate. While this Moon can be impatient and impulsive, today’s Venus-Pluto quintile can point to a strategic approach to our money and relationships.

As well, the Sun is parallel to Saturn, bringing a responsible and serious theme. We’re measured and moderate in our approach today. We’re also drawn to seek meaningful or spiritual connections.

Still, we’re heading toward Mercury’s station as it will turn direct tomorrow, which temporarily clouds our judgment. Today, we may connect with past passions, which can be motivating.

The Moon continues its void period until it enters Aries today at 12:03 AM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Friday, MARCH 20

The Sun enters independent, pioneering Aries at 10:46 AM EDT today, marking the time of the Spring equinox and the start of the astrological New Year. The Sun will transit Aries until April 19th.

In Aries, the Sun is enthusiastic and spontaneous, and during this cycle, we are motivated by the desire to initiate, conquer, and innovate. We are impulsive, and we want to come first.

Aries is a sign that bounces back quickly–there is little pause for regret with Aries. We are direct and rather uncomplicated in our needs, but we can also be short-sighted and lack the desire to plan during this cycle.

While it’s an enthusiastic influence, Mercury’s station today can mean we’re off to a slow start. However, because Mercury is ending its retrograde now, we can look forward to the unblocking of information. Mercury has been retrograde since February 26th.

With the planet of communication switching gears, the shift itself can point to some disorientation and crossed wires today, but in the coming days and weeks, problems with communication and decision-making we may have encountered during Mercury’s retrograde cycle will clear up. We’ll be able to apply our observations and new perspective to our lives as we advance.

We could feel flooded with energies that are hard to make sense of today, so we might avoid important decision-making for the time being while our thinking is skewed and illogical temporarily. It’s a better day to take in rather than take action.

The Moon is void from 5:23 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Venus), until the Moon enters Taurus the next day, Saturday, March 21st, at 2:35 AM EDT.

Mercury now turns direct at 8° Pisces 30′.

Mercury was retrograde from February 26th, at 22° Pisces 34′, until March 20th, 2026, at 8° Pisces 30′.

Mercury Retrograde Cycle from February 26 to March 20, 2026:

Mercury Retrograde Cycle: February/March 2026

• On February 11, 2026, Mercury enters the Retrograde Zone (pre-retrograde shadow) at 8° Pisces 30′
• On February 26, 2026, Mercury stations and turns retrograde at 22° Pisces 34′ Rx
• On March 20, 2026, Mercury stations and turns direct at 8° Pisces 30′
• On April 9, 2026, Mercury leaves the Retrograde Zone (post-retrograde shadow) at 22° Pisces 34′

The year 2026’s first retrograde Mercury cycle took place solely in the sign of Pisces and ends now.

Mercury’s post-retrograde shadow (from March 20th to April 9th, 2026) is generally better for new long-term endeavors than the pre-retrogrades shadow. For new enterprises in the pre-retrograde shadow, the venture’s secondary progressed Mercury will turn direction (retrograde) in the coming years, which may not be ideal.

Also note that things are most wonky on and around the days of the stations whether Mercury is turning retrograde OR direct (the start and end dates of the retrograde cycle) as the shifts occur, after which we grow more accustomed to the energy. This time around, the dates of the stations are February 26th and March 20th.

Mercury is retrograde approximately three times a year for approximately three weeks each time. As such, retrograde Mercury is a fairly common occurrence (Mercury is retrograde approximately 18% of the time).

As the planet of communication, Mercury retrograde tends to breed a certain level of confusion. Mercury rules our “lower” mind–how we perceive and interpret information that we receive from our environment, and how we relay that information to others. Mercury has rulership over such things as speaking, negotiating, buying and selling, listening, formal contracts, documents, travel, the mail and shipping, and so forth. All of these areas of life are affected when Mercury is functioning in a sluggish state. Decision-making is challenged during Mercury retrograde.

Needless to say, it is not advised to sign contracts, engage in important decision-making, or launch a new business. Delays and challenges are more probable with Mercury retrograde. It’s a time when being careless with money, our personal information, or paperwork can be costly.

While Mercury was retrograde, we may have been rethinking a previous plan or pursuit. Looking to the signs and houses it transits can give clues as to what we may be deciding. This retrograde was in Pisces, and we were reconsidering matters of faith or compassion, spiritual or emotional health practices, and unfinished business.

Now that Mercury is direct, slowly but surely, information unclogs, and we can move on. Ideally, while Mercury was retrograde, we had the chance to catch up, refine details, and change our minds if needed.

The Moon enters Taurus early today, at 2:35 AM EDT, giving even-tempered energy. We seek comfort, harmony, familiarity, security, and pleasure. We are primarily concerned with our practical or material goals under this influence. There can be a stabilizing of our feelings.

While the Moon’s square to Pluto this morning can find us digging in our heels, the day advances with a stronger desire to grow, fix problems, and get ahead. Mars forms a trine to Jupiter, and our confidence, faith, and enthusiasm soar. Our desire for freedom is just as strong.

We are more decisive and enterprising under this influence, making it an ideal time to develop an exciting new plan or take on a challenge. Something moves us to take action to better our lives. We possess the willpower, vigor, and energy necessary to achieve our goals. Positive attitudes create winning situations, and we can enjoy friendly competition now.

The Moon continues its void until it enters Taurus today at 2:35 AM EDT.

Sunday, MARCH 22

The Sun aligns with Neptune today, and with this yearly conjunction, we find meaning in our experiences more readily than usual. It’s a time for connecting with our dreams, inner vision, and intuition, especially regarding our life path and identity. We’re tuned in, inspired, and charitable.

This combination makes us vastly more aware of the undercurrents surrounding us. We make judgments intuitively and instinctually. We might resist defining our actions and goals; instead, we seek alternate ways of connecting with our dreams. Our morals may be flexible as we tend to stretch our usual boundaries.

This transit stimulates and enhances spiritual awareness. It’s a generally good time to connect with our ideals and our romantic or spiritual selves. We might use more subtle ways to gain power or use our power. While we could idealize our personal mission, instead, we might go the other direction and downplay our egos to reach a goal.

Today’s Moon in Taurus is harmony-oriented, comfortable, and stubborn. Stability and permanence satisfy a deep emotional need. While we’re not inclined to go out of our way, preferring to settle in, we enjoy some light interaction.

Monday, MARCH 23

Mercury aligns with the Moon’s North Node today, spotlighting learning, teaching, and communicating. We might make valuable contact with people who share our intellectual interests or introduce us to new ideas that help us improve or expand.

Or, we connect with information that similarly moves us forward and challenges us to grow, possibly related to issues we first encountered in February.

With a Mars-Uranus quintile also in play, we’re finding inventive ways to make changes and improvements. It comes naturally to solve problems or find our way around them.

This transit encourages us to take positive action or act on our desire for independence and freedom. It also enhances our resourcefulness and practical understanding of the metaphysical.

Today’s Uranus-Juno trine inspires similar energy: we’re encouraged through our contacts and interactions with others, and we’re ready to cooperate while giving one another the respect and space they need.

We’re open to new ways of making things work. We may be leveraging our ability to lead and inspire now. This can be a time of dynamic, positive group activities.

The Moon is void from 1:40 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Uranus), until the Moon enters Gemini at 4:19 AM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Tuesday, MARCH 24

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Gemini, and we’re communicative and connected. We’re inclined to play with ideas and make plans. We seek variety and mental engagement — our need for mental stimulation is strong.

While we enjoy staying busy, we prefer to keep things light with a Gemini Moon.

The Moon-Mars square this morning can leave us feeling scattered or divided, but we pace ourselves better as the day advances.

Later today, as we approach a Sun-Saturn alignment that perfects tomorrow morning, our responsibilities and limitations become more apparent.

The Moon is void today from 6:38 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Venus), until the Moon enters Cancer the next day, Wednesday, March 25th, at 6:34 AM EDT.

Wednesday, MARCH 25

The Sun aligns with Saturn and sextiles Pluto today, and setting new and improved goals can be in the spotlight. We can see ourselves and our purpose more clearly. It’s an excellent time to cultivate patience and eliminate the unnecessary, allowing us to focus on what truly matters.

Narrowing our focus to a particular pursuit can be beneficial, as it allows us to apply ourselves and prioritize effectively.

The Sun’s alignment with Saturn indicates the need to rein things in. It’s time to work on a revised plan to create order in our lives or on an old project that requires a new commitment. Emotional energy is not enough to fuel us for the time being. As such, we could feel drained on a physical level. However, recommitting to goals, shouldering responsibilities, and carefully using our resources could feed our need for structure and order in our lives and get us back on track.

Today’s Sun-Pluto sextile puts us in a renovating spirit–we seek more depth from our activities and connections. This transit subtly increases our determination, ambition, and dedication. Making improvements or working toward a personal goal can be successful now. We tend to direct our energy constructively and seek new insight into our lives.

It’s a time to discover new ways of looking at problems or life itself. We feel more vital and enjoy the empowered feeling that results from making changes and improvements. In fact, we feel more confident that we can change or mold things a certain way. Research might bring rewards. With this influence, we benefit from strategy and perhaps some discretion.

The First Quarter Moon occurs this afternoon, when the Moon in Cancer forms a square to the Aries Sun. A crisis theme surrounds any quarter Moon phase as we feel compelled to take action. We can face obstacles now, and ideally, they’re motivating.

The Moon continues its void period until it enters Cancer today at 6:34 AM EDT.

Thursday, MARCH 26

Mercury forms a semi-square with Venus this morning, and we have a heightened awareness of–and extra sensitivity to–words expressed. We may be in two minds about a matter, and decisions can be hard to come by.

It’s not easy to concentrate under this influence, and we can be quite sensitive to what’s said or what we feel people mean in their communications.

While the Mercury-Venus semi-square is socially awkward, today’s Venus-Chiron alignment is forgiving. Venus aligns with Chiron this evening, and it’s a time to express our compassion or forgiveness. We may feel drawn to problem areas so that we can repair them. We more readily see the beauty in human weaknesses as well as the pain of growing, healing, and restoring.

It’s a solid time to build trust in relationships and see each other’s potential, although the process might feel challenging in spots.

Today’s Cancer Moon is sensitive, cautious, protective, traditional, and receptive. We’re especially generous with our care and time today, and we come alive in our circle. There can be multiple possible avenues for satisfying self-expression today.

Friday, MARCH 27

Mercury forms a semi-square with Chiron this morning, suggesting hesitation in making decisions. This transit challenges us to communicate with more sensitivity.

The Moon continues its transit of Cancer until 10:11 AM EDT, when it enters Leo. The Leo Moon encourages our need to play, express ourselves, and create. We’re enthusiastic and take particular pride in our accomplishments.

As the day advances, we approach a Mars-Pluto semi-square, and tensions can arise if we feel powerless or overshadowed. We could find it challenging to express ourselves in healthy, direct ways.

Our desires can be both intense and challenging to satisfy. Efforts to make changes could be thwarted, or power struggles could emerge. It’s not an ideal time for straightforward interactions.

Mars is at the midpoint of an upcoming Pluto-Ceres square, stirring frustration and fear of rejection.

The Moon is void from 7:41 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Uranus), until the Moon enters Leo at 10:11 AM EDT.

Saturday, MARCH 28

A Pluto-Ceres square this morning can aggravate tendencies toward possessiveness or excessive attachment, which can drive the people or things involved away. We may worry about rejection or betrayal.

We’re drawn to nurturing and supporting our pet projects, businesses, and our own desire for comfort, but fear of losing our position or power can interfere now. Certainly, we should do our best to resist urges to stifle, control, and manipulate loved ones.

Saturn forms a sextile to Pluto today — an outer-planet transit with longer-term influence that signals the potential for constructive change. It’s a powerful time to dedicate ourselves to self-understanding, research, or counseling.

Developing self-discipline can be rewarding and worthwhile. Narrowing our focus to a particular pursuit can be beneficial, as it allows us to apply ourselves and prioritize effectively.

It’s also a strong time for reforming social and political systems. Making the most of things is a strong theme. We can be more resourceful and good at preparing for our future.

Particularly if this transit accents our natal charts well, this can be a good time to cut out bad habits and reform our everyday routines. Setting new and improved goals can be an important trend now.

We also approach a Mars-Pallas alignment, and we can feel energized and inspired creatively at this time, ready to fight for something we believe in. We find it easier to assert ourselves and our desires. It’s a good time to take action towards healing and cleansing, as well as to guide, teach, and learn.

Saturn sextile Pluto.

In March 2026, Saturn, at 5° Aries 10’, forms a sextile with Pluto at the same degree of Aquarius, 5° Aquarius 10’. This is a standalone transit. [Note: Often, aspects formed between outer planets and slow-moving points occur three times in a set due to retrograde motion, but this one is a one-time pass.]

This is a time when dedication and commitment to goals run high. We are more reliably and consistently productive. We derive satisfaction from a job well done, especially if we can readily attach meaning to it. We are more able to concentrate. We can see ourselves and our purpose very clearly. It’s an excellent time to cultivate patience and eliminate the unnecessary, allowing us to focus on what truly matters.

It can be a good time to dedicate ourselves to self-understanding, research, or counseling. Developing self-discipline can be rewarding and worthwhile. Narrowing our focus to a particular pursuit can be beneficial, as it allows us to apply ourselves and prioritize effectively.
