Horoscopes for the month of March 2026

Woohoo! Mercury directs on March 21^st at eight degrees Pisces!

Aries (Spring Equinox-approx. April 21^st): March 2026 may begin with an interesting feeling in the air. On one hand, you may feel like good things are coming your way, but when you look around, you may see more situations that need to be addressed than opportunities to maximize. What you’re sensing will come later in the month, as we get closer to the equinox. For the first two weeks, though, you may find it is all about evaluating where you’re at now and figuring out what to get rid of to welcome new growth. The Mercury retrograde may be hitting close to home, but all in all, it may be manageable. As the month continues, you may find things go from ho-hum to fantastic. The deeper we get into March, the more we find good things come your way, provided you’ve done the necessary prep work in various life areas. Be warned, though, that with each period of growth, a sacrifice is to be made, and usually this involves letting go of something that no longer serves you.

Taurus (Approx. April 21^st to approx. May 21^st): If you can keep your temper in check, you may find that the first two weeks of March 2026 roll along very nicely and smoothly, particularly regarding love, creativity, and the finer arts in general. Your home life and immediate family may be rolling along smoothly, too, and thus, you can see the main emphasis is on enjoying the gentler side of life and counting your blessings. As March marches on, you may find the lesson of the latter half of the month is focused on motivating yourself to make the changes you see are needed in your life. This Mercury retrograde period may be one of spiritual and emotional purification and cleansing, and if you choose carefully, you are in a good position to have a fantastic birthday and a strong start to the astrological new year. During the month, you may see changes in your family life, but these will be changes for the better.  

Gemini (Approx. May 21^st to Summer Solstice): Emotional, spiritual, and creative challenges may all meet you as March 2026 begins, and this Mercury retrograde may be a particularly rough one. Issues related to any or all of those themes may come up. The good news is that with multiple planets in Aries, you may feel like fresh starts and good things are around the corner, and you are correct. By month’s end, you may find the newness of spring is exactly what you need, especially when it comes to new faces in your social circles. As the month advances, you may notice things go from rough to fantastically good, as the Aries activity brings easy-flowing, positive manifestations to welcome the new season. If you can keep your short temper and emotional intolerance under control, you may find this is a time for new beginnings and good things coming your way.

Cancer (Summer Solstice to approx. July 21^st): The beginning of March 2026 may begin with an interesting situation. On the one hand, challenges may be present, as Saturn and Neptune are at the beginning of Aries, and Chiron is later in the sign, meaning that many Cancerians may be going through challenges right now, many of them involving inner psychology and conflicts of will with others. However, spirituality and creativity may be flowing along smoothly, and the Mercury retrograde may bring a time for resolutions of any or all of those themes. As the month continues, the challenges become more prevalent and may now encompass issues related to love, money, and miscommunication around the equinox. If you take action around the equinox, you may find you can wrap up outstanding creative projects and make changes to your spirituality and its practice. All of this Aries activity sets the stage for a challenging beginning to April.

Leo (Approx. July 21^st to approx. August 21^st): March 2026 begins with a sense of optimism, good fortune, and extra energy as it begins, and while you may feel like things are aligning and coming along, they have not clicked into place yet, but this will happen by the end of the month. Manifestations may not be immediate, but the work you do during the month may set the stage for results later this year. Many of your recent challenges appear to be quieting and dissipating in the first two weeks of March, paving the way for new activity after the equinox. As March moves forward, things go from good to even better, and potentially great! The time is now for planning the rest of the year, and you may find that unexpected good things come your way in the last two weeks of the month. You may also find that if you aren’t paying attention, you miss opportunities that arise. However, the drawback that comes with the last two weeks is that there may be too much energy in the air, and if you’re not careful, you may be accident-prone, short-tempered, or intolerant of those who disagree with you.

Virgo (Approx. August 21^st to Autumnal Equinox): While February may have brought emotional and spiritual challenges, the first two weeks of March are when things will wrap up, clearing the stage for the rest of the year. You may find that your family and immediate loved ones are rolling along smoothly, giving you a support structure you can rely on. A few days into the month, you may find it wise to watch for accidents while you’re out and about, but at the same time, if you can harness office conflict, you can put the energy to good use to make forward, professional moves. The Mercury retrograde is coming along to clear out your emotions and to cause changes in your spirituality. As the month progresses, you may find a lot of the tension and issues related to Pisces fade into the background, and while nothing good comes along to replace it, nothing bad happens, either, giving you a lateral move kind of impression for the last two weeks of the month. While there may still be communication issues for the last two weeks, these are the dying vestiges of the Mercury retrograde and will therefore fade quickly, giving you a fairly blank slate for April 2026.   

Libra (Autumnal Equinox to approx. October 21^st): Things are about to get intense, Librans, as the activity in the sky is methodically moving into Aries, while Jupiter is in Cancer, and all of this means that the farther you get into March, the more challenging things will get, particularly regarding love, money, family, the home, and making decisions that are best for you, regardless of what others think. Part of this can be accomplished by listening to your intuition and fulfilling what your heart wants. The first two weeks of March let you wrap up outstanding creative projects before the challenges start, but as we get closer to the equinox, things become more challenging due to all the activity moving into Aries. Even though things may feel particularly challenging, they will only get more intense when Mars enters Aries. This ingress will bring a spark, activating the tensions and challenges present in a more dynamic fashion.

Scorpio (Approx. October 21^st to approx. November 21^st): Aren’t you in an interesting position as March 2026 begins? First, the Mercury retrograde is assisting you in wrapping up some unresolved issues having to do with spirituality, creativity, and possibly romance, too. But challenges abound as well, particularly those related to social circles, the public face, and all things to do with groups. Unexpected daily challenges may continue to crop up, making the first two weeks a challenging time to maintain forward momentum. The good news is that most of the first two weeks will be spent clearing out the old to make way for the new. Once the equinox arrives, things take an interesting turn. First, the intensity and intense challenges have dissipated for the most part, leaving you in a position to listen to your intuition and to close, trusted confidants on how to proceed, creatively and spiritually. But, with all of the activity in Aries, and sharing a ruling planet with it, it may feel like there is more energy in the air than you can handle. On the one hand, this is good because if you apply yourself and stay disciplined, you can accomplish many projects aligned with your overall life direction. However, the challenge present is that you may be more prone to accidents, arguments, or irritation if you are opposed.

Sagittarius (Approx. November 21^st to Winter Solstice): Like a few other signs, the first two weeks of March 2026 may start with a mix of challenges and blessings. The challenges will involve communication, emotions, creativity, and spirituality, as Mercury retrograde brings things to the surface for addressing. Other than these challenges, there may be a sense of positivity, optimism, and new beginnings, but these won’t arrive until late in the month, setting the stage for a busy and positive April. After the equinox, many of the challenges will fade, leaving only communication issues to round out the month. Unexpected opportunities may arise involving love, money, and maturity. However, these opportunities may not immediately manifest, and that is okay because this is the time to lay the foundation for the year in terms of the goals you want to accomplish. All the extra energy in the air over the last two weeks of the month can be put to good use if you channel it carefully.   

Capricorn (Winter Solstice to approx. January 21^st): March 2026 begins with a Mercury retrograde that may be assisting you with wrapping up creative projects, spiritual interests, and intense conversations with loved ones. Other than this, though, challenges may be in the air that involve internal psychological healing, the maturing process, and your home life. The good news is that if you pay attention, you can capitalize on unexpected daily events that sporadically come up. As the month continues, the closer you get to the equinox, the more you may find the challenges increase, as more planets enter Aries. The challenges from earlier in the month may intensify, making the beginning of April feel overwhelming. In many ways, the last two weeks of March will highlight the internal issues you need to address before you can proceed. Effectively, the closer we get to Taurus transits in April, the better your life will be.

Aquarius (Approx. January 21^st to approx. February 21^st): Even though emotional tension may be present the first few days of March, you may find that otherwise things aren’t too bad. The Mercury retrograde may be a minor inconvenience or a non-event, which sets you apart from many other signs. The emphasis continues to be on embracing the new, whether these are beliefs, habits, or life cycles. The extra energy that you had in February is now fading, to be replaced with more consistent energy that you can use, rather than the sporadic nature you just experienced. As the month continues, things go from okay to fantastic as more planets enter Aries. You may still need to make minor adjustments in communication, particularly those of an emotional nature, but other than that, the last two weeks of March set the stage for what promises to be an active April.

Pisces (Approx. February 21^st to Spring Equinox): Happy birthday, Pisces! This is your birthday month, and wow, what an intense start! Mercury is retrograde in your sign, so you may find old and unsettled themes having to do with love, creativity, and spirituality, all come up to be addressed. The home life and immediate family may be rolling along nicely and smoothly right now, but if you’re not careful, you may drown in the energy that the current Pisces transits are bringing. Other than the Mercury retrograde, you may find things are quiet overall, for a change, especially now that Saturn is out of your sign. This gives you a chance to catch your breath and breathe a sigh of relief. As we progress to the equinox, you may find that your life starts to quiet down, as more planets move into Aries. The last two weeks of the month may be spent dealing with residual emotional, spiritual, creative, and communicative issues, but once Mars and Mercury exit your sign, you might be able to focus on new beginnings. All in all, March is a transition month, from intensity and resolution to laying the foundation for what’s coming later in the year.
