Forecast for 2026

What about 2026?  Will it be different?  Yes, in some ways.  2025 was a “9” year (2+0+2+5=9), the end of a cycle, symbolizing a year for finishing things in preparation for 2026, a “1” year (2+0+2+6=10; 1+0=1), the beginning of a new cycle, symbolizing a year for starting new things.  For reference, the previous “9” year was 2016 (2+0+1+6=9), and the previous “1” year was 2017 (2+0+1+7=10; 1+0=1).  Did you start or acquire something in 2017 that culminated, ended, was sold, or disposed of in 2025?  If so, that is the essence of these nine-year recurring cycles.

 So, will 2026 be better? Will it feel different?  In many ways, probably not, as there is a lot of energy and dynamics that are carrying over.  With most long cycles, things don’t make sharp changes; they flow as one year fades away and the new year grows and takes over. 

Hi-Lights for March 01-10

There will be no exact major aspects on March 1; however, there will be two quincunxes and a fire trine to Chiron, just to let us know that March is here and sometimes, She may come in like a lion in sheep’s clothing; note, the Moon is in Leo.  On the 2nd, Mars will go void-of-course and then enter Pisces after which there will we three quincunxes.  The 3rd begins with a Full Moon total Lunar Eclipse followed on the 4th with six exact major aspects plus Venus going void-of-course, then entering Aries on the 6th.  On the 7th we have the Sun retrograde Mercury inferior conjunction followed by Venus conjunct Neptune.  On Sunday the 8th, Daylight Savings Time will start followed by Venus conjunct shadow Saturn, one of five exact major aspects that day.  On the 9th there will be 7 exact major aspects followed by Jupiter stationing direct on the 10th. 

03/01/26 – 1:38 pm – decelerating Moon waxing inconjunct/ quincunx retrograde Mercury

There are no exact major aspects between the ten modern planets today.  The energy of the last exact major aspect from yesterday, the Moon opposition Pluto, may continue through the day with some enhancements by last night’s Moon quincunx the Sun and today’s three minor aspects. 

With Mercury retrograde, any surprise could have to do with something you wrote or said recently.  If so, deal with it.  Don’t put it off as it may get worse.  While you should always be careful of what you say or write as you could be misunderstood, when Mercury is retrograde, extra caution is required as things may come back to you when least expected. 

03/01/26 – 6:08 pm – decelerating Moon waxing fire trine Chiron

This pause and review of any recent action trine offers an opportunity to review what you have accomplished today.  Chiron is commonly known as the wounded healer.  Did you miss a medical appointment today?  He was also an adept student and master teacher.  Did you forget about an important homework or other assignment?  He is also about issues of abandonment and self-sacrifice.  If you find that you missed a step or that something needs to be “tweaked,” take care of it now or put it on the top of your list for tomorrow. 

Less than one hour later (7:03 pm), the Moon will make another waxing inconjunct/quincunx, this time to Venus.  Are there any issues with your relationships?  Have you been considering obtaining some special thing that you desire?  Perhaps something like that may be your surprise tonight. 

03/02/26 – 12:36 am – decelerating Moon waxing fixed square Uranus

This crisis of action square coming this early may wake you or could manifest as a dream.  If something does happen, be sure to note what it was, the time and as much detail as you can.  There may be important information in there for you, for today, this week, or later this month as Uranus moves very slowly but can surprise you. 

03/02/26- 4:27 am – decelerating Moon fixed opposition Mars

This is the only other exact major aspect today.  If you are up, check your balance.  How are you feeling?  What are your plans for today?  With Mars involved and Mercury being retrograde, choose your words very carefully.  If in doubt, silence may be your best option.  Avoid arguments. 

Relaxing is probably not a good option as following this, both go void-of-course, the Moon for seven minutes, entering Virgo at 4:34 am.  Mars’ will last almost two hours, until He enters Pisces at 6:16 am.  Most will probably sleep through the short Moon void-of-course, but if you aren’t one of them, just stick to your routine.  With Mars void-of-course, if you don’t sleep through it, stick to your routine, avoid impulsive decisions, be extra alert.  Watch out for the other guy, the one who causes accidents, as they tend to happen more frequently and can be more severe when Mars is void-of-course or retrograde. 

Just 15 minutes after Mars enters Pisces (6:31 am), the Moon will make a waxing inconjunct/quincunx to Neptune, followed less than 1 1/2 hours later (7:58 am), by a second one to shadow Saturn.  Surprise, surprise!  This could start with what may seem like a pleasant one followed too soon by a reality check. 

Less than three hours later (10:49 am), Saturn should slip quietly over 1 Aries 56’ and beyond His current shadow.  For the next seven weeks He will be in His zone of progress, which is the area that He will only transit once until His next shadow begins.  It will begin April 20, 2026, when He crosses 7 Aries 56’, the point at which His next retrograde will end. 

03/02/26 – 12:43 pm – decelerating Moon waning inconjunct/ quincunx Pluto

How about a surprise for lunch?  Maybe you will decide to try something new or a different place?  Or maybe someone or something will happen to surprise you.  If something surprises you, note what it is, the time and as much detail as you can, including your reaction and how and what you felt. 

03/03/26 – 3:38 am – average Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse mutable opposition the Sun

This Full Moon is known as the “Worm Moon,” also known as the Crow, Crust, Sap, or Lenten Moon.  This total Lunar eclipse should be visible in most of the US, depending on the weather of course.  It is at 12 Virgo 54’.  The Sabian Symbol for this degree is “A powerful statesman wins to his cause a hysterical mob.”  This suggests that a situation may come up in which you may need or have an opportunity to resolve or calm down a potential crisis. 

Meanwhile, the Sabian Symbol for the Sun at 12 Pisces 54’, is “A sword in a museum.”  This offers the opportunity to stop battling what may be an unwinnable situation and find an acceptable solution.  Find a balance between these two. 

All oppositions represent the midpoint in a cycle and are about finding and accepting that sometimes, compromise is the best answer when seeking balance and deciding on the best course of action.  Their cycle began with the New Moon Solar eclipse on February 17.  Did you start anything new around that time?  If so, is it ready to move from the waxing expansive phase to the consolidating, completing phase?  It is your choice. 

While the Sun may be massively larger than the Moon, they both appear to be about the same size to us as observers on Earth, thus we have eclipses when they are in alignment with the Earth.  While we have Full Moon’s every 29-30 days, we only have two Lunar eclipses, sometimes three, each year.  Their energy is stronger and lasts longer than a regular Full Moon.  If  they connect with your chart, they will also create a sensitive point that can last beyond the next eclipse, maybe even years. 

03/03/26 – 7:45 am – average Moon waxing sextile retrograde Jupiter

This is the pause and review of any new things started recently sextile.  Did you start anything new yesterday?  Perhaps over the weekend or last week?  Or did you start something new when they were conjunct February 26/27?  If so, how is it developing?  If you haven’t done so already, now is the time to plan your next action to keep the work on time and moving forward. 

03/03/26 – 4:39 pm – average Moon mutable opposition retrograde Mercury

One of the challenges with an opposition when both are in mutable signs can be making a decision.  This one has the Moon in mutable earth Virgo and retrograde Mercury in complementary mutable water Pisces.  Mutable energy is known for wanting just one more piece of information, asking one more question, one more minute to think about it.  One more what if?  Ask yourself, “What feels off?”  Trust your feelings (water), your “gut” intuition (earth).  Double check all emails and texts before sending or assuming they were meant for you. 

03/04/26 – 6:42 am – average Moon mutable opposition Venus

This is the first of six exact major and one quincunx aspects today, all but one of them by the Moon.  If something feels familiar to you, it may be that like the previous aspect yesterday afternoon, this is another Virgo Pisces opposition.  Trust your feelings and instinct for any issues dealing with relationships or finances. 

Just eleven minutes later (6:53 am), following a waxing earth trine to Uranus, the second aspect of the day, the Moon will go void-of-course for just over four hours.  This is the pause and review of any recent actions trine.  Focus on what you did yesterday and the day before.  Make sure that you haven’t missed or forgotten anything.  Set aside any new things until after the Moon enters Libra. 

03/04/26 – 8:41 am – Venus waning sextile Uranus

Following this, the third and only aspect not involving the Moon today, Venus will go void-of-course for just over 42 hours.  This is the finish something sextile.  This pair offers you an opportunity to step outside your comfort zone and find creative ways to complete things.  Just don’t skip any steps or leave anything essential out. 

With Venus void-of-course, it would be best if you don’t try to start a new, hopefully meaningful relationship or make any major financial purchases or commitments.  Put them on hold until after Venus enters Aries. 

03/04/26 – 10:56 am – average Moon enters cardinal air Libra

Some may actually feel this shift.  Now, instead of struggling to make a decision, you may be more inclined to ask a coworker or friend for their advice or assistance. 

03/04/26 – 1:08 pm – average Moon cardinal opposition Neptune

This air to fire opposition is the fourth aspect of the day.  With Neptune involved, you may want to consider any recent dreams you may have had.  Perhaps you will find answers to help guide your actions at this time.  Or perhaps Neptune is trying to confuse you or dissolve an obstacle that has been blocking you.  Keep an open mind. 

Over one hour later (2:21 pm), the average Moon will make a waning inconjunct/quincunx to Mars.  With nothing in common between the placement of these two points, Mars may take advantage of this and surprise you with something extreme.  It could be an emotional outburst, an accident, or a verbal or physical encounter. 

Just 40 minutes later (3:01 pm), the average Moon will make another cardinal opposition, this time to Saturn for the fifth aspect of the day.  With Saturn involved, best you make sure that you have done everything in accordance with all requirements and instructions.  You may also want to double check any timelines and due dates.  You don’t want to be late. 

03/04/26 – 7:35 pm – slowing Moon waning air trine Pluto

This pause and plan your next actions trine is the sixth and final aspect of the day.  This may be about what you are working on at this time or for first thing tomorrow.  What is your first priority tomorrow? 

03/05/26 – 9:14 am – Sun waning water trine retrograde Jupiter

It is another pause and plan your next actions trine to keep your day going.  What is next on your “to-do” list?  With the two largest bodies in our solar system involved and Jupiter retrograde, this may have to do with something big you have been working on for a while now. 

03/05/26 – 3:22 pm – slowing Moon goes Void-of-Course

Following a waxing cardinal crisis of action square to retrograde Jupiter, the Moon goes void-of-course for over 28 1/2 hours.  This could be time for the action you planned this morning. 

This is a long void-of-course, but not starting anything new during this time is still possible.  If you must start something new, be very methodical about it.  Make sure you understand all requirements and expectations.  Proceed cautiously, rechecking your work frequently.  Set it aside when you can and then resume your other work. 

Just 33 minutes later (3:55 pm), the slowing Moon will make a waning inconjunct/quincunx to the Sun, their first aspect since the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse two days ago.  With the two great lights involved, you might be in for a very illuminating surprise.  What were you working on then?  Have you finished it?  If not, how is it progressing? 

Just over five hours later (9:04 pm), the slowing Moon will make another waning inconjunct/quincunx, this time to retrograde Mercury.  Mercury is known as the messenger of the Gods.  Being retrograde, your surprise may have to do with something you said, or didn’t say, verbally, in writing, by text or email recently.  Can you think of what that might be? 

03/06/26 – 2:46 am – Venus enters Aries

Unlike last year, when Venus spent over three months in Aries, this transit will seem short.  She entered Aries February 3, 2025, went retrograde and returned to Pisces March 27, 2025.  After turning direct, She returned to Aries from April 30 to June 5, 2025, when She entered Taurus.  This year’s transit will only last until March 30, 2026, when She will return to Her fixed earth Taurus home.  What was that period last year like for you?  While you shouldn’t expect a replay, some themes and feelings may repeat or at least, may feel familiar. 

With Venus now in impulsive Aries, you may want to leave your phone and any credit cards at home and just take enough cash to get you through the day.  There is a greater probability that you, or someone else in your family may purchase some expensive item that you can’t afford or may just overspend.  Stay within your budget.  Don’t have one!  Now is a good time to make one.  On the other hand, your love life might pick up as your inner passions flame and can flare up quickly. 

Over 13 hours later (3:53 pm), the slowing Moon will make a waxing inconjunct/quincunx to Uranus.  This could be like putting a surprise on top of a surprise.  Trying to predict what it might be could be fun, but may end up being an exercise in futility. 

03/06/26 – 8:01 pm – slow Moon enters Scorpio

The transition from cardinal air Libra into fixed water Scorpio probably won’t be subtle.  You may have old memories coming up unexpectedly, some of them not so pleasant.  With Mercury retrograde, hold your tongue.  Avoid arguments, disagreements, telling secrets, or speaking out of turn. 

Just shy of two hours later (9:58 pm), the slow Moon will make a waning inconjunct/quincunx to Venus.  With both in signs ruled by Mars, any surprise could be a big, and not pleasant one.  Exercise extreme caution if you receive something unexpected or a late night visitor.  If you are out, stay with friends or family, and avoid dark or unlit places. 

Thirty-two minutes later (10:30 pm), the slow Moon will make another waning inconjunct/quincunx, this time to Neptune.  Your surprise could be a disturbing or prophetic dream or sudden awareness.  Whatever comes to you during the night, note the time, what it was, and as much detail as possible. 

Almost 2 1/2 hours later (03/07/26 – 12:53 am), the slow Moon will make another waning inconjunct/quincunx, this time to Saturn.  He is about structure, protecting the status quo, and following the rules.  Did anything happen or come to you during the night with a similar theme?  If so, note it with as much detail as possible. 

03/07/26 – 3:02 am – retrograde Mercury Inferior mutable water Conjunction Sun

This could be a very busy, possibly disturbing Saturday morning as everything happens in just over five hours. 

This conjunction, which many consider to be the beginning of a new Mercury Sun cycle, is at 16 Pisces 53’.  The Sabian Symbol for this degree is “An Easter promenade.”  This symbol suggests that for any outing today, or if you are entertaining, dress up and put your best foot forward.  Coming at this time, be sure to note any dreams, awarenesses, feelings, or other sensations that may come to you during the night.  They are your subconscious sending you a message. 

03/07/26 – 3:27 am – Venus conjunct Neptune

Their conjunction is at 1 Aries 17’.  The Sabian Symbol for this degree is “A comedian entertaining the group.”  This symbol reminds us that we should always make time to do something fun.  There is an old saying that reiterates this, “All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy.”  Have you planned something fun for today or are you going to be spontaneous? 

03/07/26 – 3:33 am – slow Moon waning water trine Mars

This is the pause and plan your next action trine.  Maybe something will come to you during the night to show you what your next action should be. 

03/07/26 – 5:14 am – slow Moon waning fixed square Pluto

This crisis of consciousness square naturally follows the waning trine.  If your day hasn’t started yet, you may still receive a “message” guiding you to what action you should take.  The aspects this morning suggest that it should be structured, inspired, and consistent with your personal code.  This energy should last through most of the day. 

03/08/26 – 1:46 am – slow Moon waxing water trine retrograde Jupiter

This early morning pause and review of any recent actions trine, is the first of five exact major aspects today, four of them water trines.  The next three will all be waning pause and plan your next actions trines. 

03/08/26 – 2:00 AM – DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME STARTS

Remember to check your clocks to make sure that if they haven’t reset, that  you reset them.  Spring forward 1 hour. 

Just 2 1/4 hours later (4:16 am), the slow Moon will make a waning water trine to retrograde Mercury for the second aspect today.  This is the second of three aspects involving the Moon and the first of two involving retrograde Mercury.  Most have probably slept through these first two aspects.  If something woke you early, note the time and what it was with as much detail as possible.  Be sure to include what or how you felt and any other sensations you experienced.  You may want to review your recent actions from the past few days before planning your next action as you may need to change or correct something you did or are planning on doing. 

03/08/26 – 6:40 am – Venus cardinal fire conjunction Saturn

Their previous conjunctions were February 1, and March 27, 2025, in Pisces and May 2, 2025, at 1 Aries 17’.  What were those conjunctions like for you?  If there was something particular that happened around the date of the May  conjunction in Aries, this one may manifest similarly, though not necessarily exactly. 

This conjunction, the third aspect of the day, is at 2 Aries 38’.  The Sabian Symbol for this degree is “A cameo profile of a man in the outline of his country.”  How do you fit into your world?  This suggests that today would be a good day for you to think about that or reconsider how you now fit into today’s world, which has changed dramatically in the past few years. 

03/08/26 – 8:42 am – slow Moon waning water trine Sun

This pause and plan your next action trine is the fourth aspect of the day.  What are your plans for today?  You may want to pause and reconsider your plans based on what your morning has been like. 

03/08/26 – 10:23 pm – retrograde Mercury waning water trine retrograde Jupiter

This pause and plan your next action trine is the fifth and final aspect of the day.  Unless there is something you might do tonight, this may be about what you are going to do tomorrow.  What are your plans for tomorrow? 

03/09/26 – 4:28 am – slow (OoBS) Moon goes Void-of-Course

Following a fixed opposition to Uranus, the first of seven exact major aspects, six by the Moon today, the Moon goes void-of-course for just over two hours, until entering Sagittarius at 8:37 am.  It is Monday morning.  With the opposition in play, you might want to start your day by checking to make sure that everything is in balance or as it should be.  If you were planning on doing or trying something new this morning, it would be better if you put it off until after the Moon enters Sagittarius. 

03/09/26 – 11:21 am – slow (OoBS) Moon waning fire trine Neptune

This is the second aspect and first of three consecutive waning fire trines today.  This is the pause and then plan your next action trine.  Normally, the waning square would follow, indicating a time to act; however, with three trines in a row, they become more of a pause, plan, do trine, then repeat, and repeat again trine.  With Neptune involved, you may want to refer to your “dream journal,” when considering what your action should be. 

Less than three hours later (2:15 pm), the slow (OoBS) Moon will make the second waning fire trine and third aspect of the day to Saturn.  This time your action should be methodical and “by the book.” 

Just over three hours later (5:34 pm), the Moon will make the third waning fire trine and fourth aspect of the day to Venus.  With Venus involved, consider what you value or are passionate about.  Trust your “gut instinct”.  Do what feels right to you. 

03/09/26 – 6:13 pm – slow (OoBS) Moon waning sextile Pluto

This finish something sextile is the fifth aspect of the day.  What have you finished today?  If you haven’t finished anything, find something that you can finish now.  You should feel better knowing that you have completed something. 

03/09/26 – 8:37 pm – slow ) Moon waning mutable square retrograde Mars

This crisis of consciousness square is the sixth and final aspect by the Moon today.  Is there some action that you planned on taking today but haven’t done yet?  If so, do you have time to do it now or is it something best suited for doing in the morning?  It’s your call. 

03/09/26 – 11:52 pm – Venus waxing sextile Pluto

This pause and review of any new things started recently sextile is the seventh and final aspect of the day.  With Venus’s retrograde in early 2025 (February to May), She made three waxing sextiles from early Aries to Pluto in early Aquarius.  What was that period like for you?  Did you start anything new around the time of their recent conjunction January 19, 2026?  For reference, their previous conjunction was on December 7, 2024.  What, if anything, might these two dates have in common in your life, either work or personal?  As early 2025 relates to December 2024, so might today relate to January 2026. 

03/10/26 – 11:59 am – slow (OoBS) Moon waning mutable square retrograde Mercury

It is another crisis of consciousness square.  Time to focus on consolidating, letting go of those things that no longer work or serve a purpose for you or what you are working on.  You should know what that is. 

Just over three hours later (3:04 pm), the Moon will make a waxing inconjunct/quincunx to stationing Jupiter.  What surprise might Jupiter have in store for you as He prepares to change direction. 

03/10/26 – 8:30 pm – Jupiter stations direct

Jupiter is at 15 Cancer 05’, as He appears to pause and prepare to change direction, finally going forward after four months retrograde.  The Sabian Symbol for this degree is “A man before a square with a manuscript scroll before him.”  This symbol is a reminder to not forget the “old ways.”  There is value in the lessons you have learned.  Just because the “old way” may not have worked the last time you tried it, doesn’t mean you should discard it or that it won’t work the next time.  Keep it in your “toolbox.”  Jupiter has been at 15 Cancer since February 15 and won’t return to 16 Cancer until April 3.  He won’t leave His shadow until He crosses 25 Cancer 09’, the point at which He stationed retrograde on November 11, 2025. 

Hi-Lights for March 11-20

On the 11th, there will only be one exact major aspect followed by 5 exact major aspects on the 12th.  On the 14th the Moon will return in-bounds and on the 15th, retrograde Mercury will conjunct Mars.  On the 18th we have the Pisces New Moon.  On the 20th, the Sun will enter Aries and then Mercury will station direct.

03/11/26 – 2:38 am – slow (OoBS) Moon goes Void-of-Course

Following a waning crisis of consciousness square to the Sun, the Moon goes void-of-course for almost 18 1/2 hours.  This square is about consolidating, downsizing, with an end “goal” in mind.  It is time to let go of those things, objects, beliefs, etc., that no longer serve you.  They may be broken, outdated, or “just collecting dust.  Don’t forget that one person’s trash may be another person’s treasure.  Recycle, donate, or dispose of properly. 

Note any dreams, insights, feelings, or other sensations that may come to you as they may help guide you in the days ahead. 

It may be “Hump Day,” but this is a longer void-of-course and so it may be difficult to avoid starting something new during this time.  To the extent that you can, focus on older work, particularly things that need to be done today, this week, or this month.  There won’t be another aspect until later this afternoon.  If you must start something new, be meticulous and thorough in your preparation.  Pause frequently to recheck your work.  As soon as you can, go back to what you were working on before. 

03/11/28 – 9:07 pm – slow (OoBS) Moon enters Capricorn

Being the sign opposite the Moon’s home sign of Cancer, She is in Her Detriment here, and at Her weakest now.  Any influence She may have, may be more erratic or unpredictable.  Capricorn is sometimes referred to as the business sign of the Zodiac.  While caution is advised, this can be a good time to be practical and get down to business.

Four hours earlier (5:08 pm), the slow (OoBS) Moon made a waning inconjunct/quincunx to Uranus.  Nothing like a little unexpected surprise to shake up the late afternoon.  This could be your “need it done now” new thing that you have been hoping wouldn’t happen. 

03/12/26 – 12:03 am – slow (OoBS) Moon waning cardinal square Neptune

This is the first of three consecutive waning cardinal crisis of consciousness squares and the first of five waning aspects by the Moon today.  This may be a more emotional day for some.  Like yesterday, you may want to focus on older work in progress, things that need to be completed this week, next week, or this month. 

With Neptune involved, be sure to note any dreams, insights, feelings, or other sensations that come to you during the night. 

A little over three hours later (3:21 am), the slow (OoBS) Moon will make Her second waning crisis of consciousness square and aspect today, this one to  Saturn.  Did something wake or disturb you in the night?  If so, note what it was, the time, and as much detail as you can. 

03/12/26 – 12:59 pm – slow (OoBS) Moon waning cardinal square Venus

This is the third and final crisis of consciousness square and third aspect of the day.  With Venus involved you may want to consider what you are passionate about when considering what to let go of, or how to consolidate what you are working on.  Your actions should be directed toward completing things as the last two aspects today are waning, complete something sextiles. 

Just 16 minutes later (1:15 pm), the slow (OoBS) Moon will make her fourth aspect of the day, a waning complete something, sextile to Mars.  This seems to be saying quick, take action to complete something.  Avoid hasty or impulsive decisions, be focused with good intent and trust your instincts. 

03/12/26 – 8:08 pm – slow (OoBS) Moon waning sextile retrograde Mercury

With this aspect, you may find yourself rethinking something you have done recently.  Retrace your steps.  Review your process.  Trust your instinct when deciding what to finish and how to do it. 

03/13/26 – 3:10 am – slow (OoBS) Moon cardinal opposition shadow Jupiter

On the off chance that you might be superstitious, today is another Friday  the 13th!  If you are wondering why the day is considered unlucky, you can probably find various reasons on the internet.  My personal preference involves the Knights Templar.  It was on Friday, October 13, 1307, that King Philip IV of France, ordered the arrest of all the Knights Templar.  They were charged with heresy, blasphemy, and idolatry.  Of course, the real reason was because King Philip IV was deeply in debt to the Templars, among the earliest bankers of Europe.  There is more to this story, including the curse on King Philip IV and the Pope who ended up backing King Philip’s play.  For their “sins,” both died within a year of the curse. 

Four weeks ago, we had Friday, February 13.  How was that day for you?  This on may have a similar feel to you.  Be careful.  With Jupiter exalted in cardinal water Cancer and the Moon in Her detriment in cardinal earth Capricorn, it would seem to be advantage Jupiter.  Note any dreams, insights, awarenesses, or “a-ha’ moments that come to you, especially if  they relate back to something previously considered or started.  Any message you receive may help guide you to the best answer to a difficult question you have been struggling with.  Trust your feelings and your instinct.  Maintain your balance. 

03/13/26 – 7:41 pm – slow (OoBS) Moon waning sextile Sun

It may be getting late, but if you have time, use this energy to finish something.  If you can, you should feel better about how your day has ended, even if it wasn’t a particularly satisfying day. 

03/14/26 – 4:33 am – accelerating (OoBS) Moon goes Void-of-Course

Following a waning earth trine to Uranus, the Moon goes void-of-course for almost four hours, entering Aquarius at 8:13 am.  This is the pause and plan your next action trine.  It is early Saturday morning.  Did something wake or disturb you in the night?  Perhaps a dream or sudden awareness?  If so, note what it was and the time with as much detail as you can.  If you are up before the Moon enters Aquarius, it would be best if you stick to your routine or whatever you have planned.  If something new should come up, set it aside until later.  You can use the time to plan your next action on whatever you have been working on. 

Just 19 minutes before entering Aquarius (7:54 am), as She crossed 29 Capricorn 50’, the Moon returns into the boundary of the Sun.  For some, a sense of “normalcy” may return while others may not notice any difference. 

03/14/26 – 11:12 am – accelerating Moon waning sextile Neptune

With two waning, finish something sextiles and a conjunction, this looks to be a good day to complete some ongoing projects around the home so you can get started on that new one you have been thinking about.  Think it, see it, believe it, do it. 

03/14/26 – 2:47 pm – accelerating Moon waning sextile Saturn

This is the second finish something sextile and a good time to do it, then plan what new thing you want to start next.  Pay attention to the details.  No shortcuts, no skipped steps, as you pay attention to the details. 

03/14/26 – 5:35 pm – accelerating Moon fixed air conjunction Pluto

This could be a good time to begin that new personal project you have been considering.  Pluto expects us to become the purest version of ourselves that we can be. 

03/15/26 – BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH

It was on March 15, 44 BCE, that Julius Caesar, Dictator of Rome, was assassinated by both friend and foe as he arrived at the Roman Senate.  His wife had warned him not to go as she had foreseen or been forewarned of this possible assassination there.  But like so many other power hungry people, he didn’t listen.  If you receive a warning, heed it. 

03/15/26 – 1:08 am – retrograde Mercury mutable water conjunction Mars

It is early Sunday morning.  Note any dreams, especially disturbing ones, or those that you have had before.  Provide as much detail as possible.  As both are moving relatively slowly, this energy may last for most of the day.  Avoid confrontations, arguments, or words spoken in haste or anger.  A vow of silence could be helpful today.  When you do speak, choose your words very carefully. 

03/15/26 – 5:42 am – accelerating Moon waning sextile Venus

This early finish something sextile suggests that you may have some unfinished projects at home that you should tend to.  If so, find something that you can finish. 

Just over seven hours later (12:54 pm), the average Moon will make a waning inconjunct/quincunx to shadow Jupiter.  This is the first aspect after the opposition.  The surprise may be about something you thought was ready to be moved on toward completion, only to find out that you missed something critical. 

03/16/26 – 12:57 pm – average Moon goes Void-of-Course

Following a waning fixed crisis of consciousness square to Uranus, the Moon goes void-of-course for over three hours until entering Pisces at 4:16 pm.  This is the only aspect today.  You may want to continue to focus on older work or any work that needs to be completed by the end of the month. 

03/16/26 – 1:34 pm – Moon Wobble Ends???

As the Sun crosses 26 Pisces 16, they move more than 17 degrees from the closest Lunar Node and, possibly beyond the current Moon Wobble period.  While there will continue to be chaos and natural disasters around the world, their frequency and strength will hopefully decrease.  Some may feel a decrease in the tensions they have been feeling. 

03/17/26 – HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY

Wishing everyone a safe, Happy St. Patrick’s Day, a day when everyone can at least claim to be a wee bit Irish.  Hoist a pint of your preferred beverage with friends and toast to everyone’s good health and fortune in the year ahead.  Two new cycles begin today.  What new things do you want to use the “luck of the Irish” to help you get off to a positive start? 

03/17/26 – 8:25 am – average Moon mutable water conjunction retrograde Mercury

First up is the conjunction with retrograde Mercury.  This may bring up an old idea that you wanted to start before but didn’t.  If something comes to mind, use this energy to get it started now.  It could be something to do with writing or some other form of communication. 

03/17/26 – 1:47 pm – accelerating Moon mutable water conjunction Mars

This afternoon, it is Mars turn.  This could be something that may be more physical or require more effort on your part, at least to get it started.  Perhaps a new or modified fitness routine.  Whatever it may be, your total commitment to it is necessary. 

03/17/26 – 7:18 pm – accelerating Moon waning water trine shadow Jupiter

This is the pause and plan your next action trine.  Coming at this time, it may be about what you should do to start your day tomorrow.  Do you have a to-do list?  If not, you may want to make one.  Set your priorities.  Plan your work tonight.  Then work your plan tomorrow. 

03/18/26 – 9:09 am – Venus waning cardinal square shadow Jupiter

This crisis of consciousness square naturally follows the waning trine in the normal flow of aspects.  It is time to put what you planned into action.  You did make a plan, didn’t you? 

03/18/26 – 1:20 pm – Sun waning sextile Uranus

This is their annual waning finish something sextile.  Their current cycle began with their conjunction May 17, 2025.  Did you start something, perhaps a long term project around that date?  If so, you have about two months to finish it before this cycle ends and their new one begins. 

3/18/26 – 6:03 pm – accelerating Moon waning sextile Uranus

This is another finish something sextile.  The Moon Uranus is a monthly cycle.  This one started with their conjunction February 23, 2026, and will end with their next conjunction March 22, 2026, when their new cycle begins.  What did you start around February 23?  Is it ready to be completed?  If not, best get to it as you should try to finish it in about four days. 

03/18/26 – 6:23 pm – accelerating New Moon mutable water conjunction Sun

This New Moon is at 28 Pisces 27’.  The Sabian Symbol for this degree is “A prism.”  This suggests that as a prism breaks light down into its individual colors, you should consider breaking your work down into smaller, easier to do parts.  This technique can also be applied to any roadblocks or problems you encounter.  All of this breaks down into seeing things as they really are, not necessarily as they may appear at first sight. 

Following this, both go void-of-course.  The Moon’s will last two hours and 40 minutes, until entering Aries at 9:03 pm.  Coming later in the day, not starting anything new during this time should be doable.  If something comes up, and you can, set it aside for first thing tomorrow morning.  However, the Sun’s will last almost 37 1/2 hours, which is over 1 1/2 days.  Don’t make any dramatic or substantive changes to your home, office, or personal appearance.  You can use it to investigate possible changes, just don’t commit to any until after the Sun enters Aries. 

03/19/26 – 12:00 am – fast Moon cardinal fire conjunction Neptune

Today starts with three conjunctions signaling the start of three new cycles, all before 5 am.  Two short term cycles by the Moon and one long, multi-generational personal cycle by Chiron. 

With Neptune involved, be sure to note any dreams, be they nighttime, daytime, or nightmares.  They are all ways that your subconscious is communicating with you.  Perhaps the dream will inspire you as to what dream thing you should start for this new cycle. 

03/19/26 – 3:51 am – fast Moon cardinal fire conjunction Saturn

It’s another new monthly cycle.  With Saturn involved, structure becomes vital.  Is there something that you want to build?  Some real physical thing?  Today would be a good day to start on it. 

03/19/26 – 4:10 am – Chiron cardinal fire conjunction Eris

Astronomically, Eris is the second largest of the new dwarf planets.  She orbits beyond Pluto, taking about 560 earth years to make one orbit of the Sun.  Mythologically, She is the Goddess of chaos, discord, and strife.  Some versions identify her as the sister of Mars, known to roam battlefields in search of the dead and dying.  She is at least in part, responsible for the Trojan War and the main protagonist in “Sleeping Beauty.”  Chiron is typically referred to as the “wounded healer.”  His first wound was being abandoned by both of His parents.  Later in life He was accidently wounded by a poisoned arrow.  Being immortal, He couldn’t die, but in spite of His knowledge and skills in the healing arts, He was unable to heal Himself.  Ultimately, He sacrificed Himself to take the place of Prometheus who had been chained to a rock as punishment for giving fire back to humans. 

Chiron Eris cycles last about 54-55 years.  Their previous conjunctions were in 1971-72.  Their current cycle which is beginning now will last until their next conjunctions 2079-80. 

This is their third and final conjunction for this new cycle.  Their two previous conjunctions were May 27, 2025, at 25 Aries 28, and October 9, 2025, at 25 Aries 16’.  The Sabian Symbol for 25 Aries is “A man possessed of more gifts than he can hold.”  Does this symbolize someone who is very fortunate or are they just greedy?  Today’s conjunction is at 24 Aries 59’.  The Sabian Symbol for this 24 Aries is “A double promise reveals its inner and outer meanings.”  Does this suggest someone who makes a promise to many, while hiding the secret promise he made to himself, his true motives? 

While those with planets or other sensitive points at 24 or 25 Aries may feel this, this aspect may be more about things on a grander scale such as locally, nationally, or internationally, to be seen and experienced by the world.  Might all of this relate to the chaos and discord in the middle east, encompassing the attack on Iranian nuclear sites last July to the current attack and “war,” that isn’t a war? 

Those dealing with issues of abandonment, self-sacrifice, or chaos in their life may be the most susceptible to any manifestations from this aspect.  Have you been dealing with a major issue since last May?  Is there a common element or theme in your life that connects the dates of their three conjunctions? 

03/19/26 – 5:34 am – fast Moon waxing sextile Pluto

This is the pause and plan your next action sextile.  Considering any new things you have started recently, how are they developing?  What should your next action be to keep them moving forward? 

03/19/26 – 10:53 pm – fast Moon waning cardinal square shadow Jupiter

Ending the day with a crisis of consciousness square suggests that you may want to take time to plan your day for tomorrow.  Where do you start?  The waning square is about letting go of, consolidating, as you prepare work to be completed.  With shadow Jupiter involved, the answer may be in things that you have done and that have worked in the past. 

03/20/26 – 2:23 am – fast Moon goes Void-of-Course

Following a cardinal fire conjunction with Venus, the Moon goes void-of-course for over 21 hours.  Because of the time and length of  this void-of-course, it would probably be best that you do not start anything new with this conjunction, unless you start it before.  It is Friday morning and even if you don’t start something new, something important may show up that has to be started today.  If so, make a plan.  Recheck your work frequently.  If you can, set it aside when you get a chance.  Otherwise, be very meticulous as you work it. 

03/20/26 – 7:46 am – Spring Equinox Sun enters cardinal fire Aries

Today marks the beginning of Spring, when we have basically 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night.  Aries represents being bold, persuasive, and taking action.  Prepare to be bold, to take action and push forward as in a few hours there will be no planets retrograde.

03/20/26 – 12:33 pm – Mercury stations Direct

Mercury is at 8 Pisces 29’ 27’ as they appear to pause and prepare to resume direct, forward motion.  Perhaps appropriately, the Sabian Symbol for this degree is “The race begins, a jockey spurs his horse to great speed.”  Do you hear the call as the bell rings and the gates swing open, and the race is on.  With all planets now in direct motion (though both Mercury and Jupiter are in their shadows), there should be fewer obstacles and less energy trying to hold one back from making progress.  This period will last less than seven weeks, until May 6, when Pluto will station retrograde.  After that, there will be at least one planet retrograde for the rest of 2026.  Retrograde planets symbolize periods when things may need to be redone, repeated, restarted, as setbacks, obstacles, or other interferences may pop up unexpectedly. 

Mercury entered 8 Pisces on March 17 and won’t return to 9 Pisces until March 24.  Spending one week at a single degree is unusual for the fastest of the actual planets.  Those with natal planets or sensitive points at 8-9 Pisces, may feel this the strongest.  Those with natal planets or sensitive points at 8-9 degrees of one of the other mutable signs, Gemini, Virgo, or Sagittarius, may also feel this more strongly.  Choose your words carefully.  Think before speaking.  Reread any written material, texts, emails, etc., before sending. 

03/20/26 – 11:35 pm – fast Moon enters Taurus

Now in Her second home, the Moon gains strength, though fast and fixed don’t actually go together, so you may encounter some resistance over the next couple of days. 

Forecast for March 21-31

On the 21st Mars will trine shadow Jupiter and then the Sun will conjunct Neptune on the 22nd.  There will be five exact major aspects by the Moon on the 23rd.  On the 25th the Sun will conjunct shadow Saturn, the first of six exact major aspects that day.  There will be five exact major aspects on the 27th and then on the 29th, Venus will go void-of-course, returning to Her Taurus home on the 30th.  On the 31st, the last major aspect for March is Moon trine Uranus, followed by the Moon quincunx Venus for the last aspect of the month.
