This Month in Astrology – March 2026

On March 3rd, a Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse occurs in the sign of Virgo. It brings sudden awareness to our lives, particularly of areas that require more order. Something is exposed or illuminated, prompting us to get in touch with those things that we may have been neglecting or putting off, especially regarding our work, services, habits, health, and routines.

This eclipse is the fifth of a set of seven occurring along the Virgo-Pisces axis from September 17th, 2024, to February 20th, 2027. 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 total Lunar Eclipse urges us to strike a balance between work and service, practicality and impracticality, criticism and acceptance. It’s 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. Read more about this Lunar Eclipse on its calendar page.

On March 18th, the New Moon in Pisces prompts a new beginning–we’re 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 simply represent a “break” from the routine. We may put something behind us in order to begin anew. It’s very focused and concentrated, which can help or hinder us. Fortunately, this New Moon’s harmony with Uranus via a tight sextile points to inspiration and belief in progress.  Read more about this New Moon on its calendar page.

Now, information unclogs. Read more about this station on its calendar page.

On March 28th, Saturn is sextile Pluto, and this is a standalone transit signaling the potential for constructive change.

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 for cutting out bad habits and reforming our everyday routines. Setting new and improved goals can be in the spotlight… Read more about this transit on its calendar page.
