Week of March 16 – 22, 2026:

Three important shifts mark the week. A New Moon occurs at 28° Pisces on March 19. On March 20, the Sun leaves Pisces and enters Aries while Mercury stations direct in Pisces. After weeks of reflection, thinking and communication may gradually become clearer, potentially easing some of the recent confusion or fog. However, the Sun will conjunct Neptune in Aries on March 22, which may still keep matters somewhat fluid or uncertain, especially as Mercury remains in its post retrograde phase in Pisces (8°-22° Pisces).

The Sun’s entry into Aries may carry additional significance, as Saturn and Neptune recently met at 0° Aries and the Sun now crosses this same degree, highlighting the beginning of a new cycle. As this is a critical degree and the Aries Point, it may coincide with significant developments or turning points in world events unfolding during this period.

Mars trine Jupiter supports constructive action, confidence, and momentum. Jupiter stationed direct last week and remains around 15° Cancer, reinforcing themes of growth, protection, and forward movement.

Venus forms tense aspects this week, first a semi-square with Uranus and later a square with Jupiter, which may bring surprises or sudden shifts in relationships and values.

On March 18, the Sun sextiles Uranus at 28° Pisces and 28° Taurus, encouraging fresh perspectives and unexpected insights. This same degree becomes emphasized as the New Moon occurs at 28° Pisces the following day.

A New Moon occurs at 28° Pisces on March 19, near the end of the zodiac, marking the final lunation of the astrological year and inviting reflection, release, and the completion of themes before the Sun enters Aries.

The Moon travels through Pisces, Aries, and Taurus. Following the New Moon in Pisces, the Moon begins to slowly gain light, shifting from reflection to renewed initiative in Aries and steadier grounding in Taurus.

The Sun entering Aries marks the beginning of a new astrological year.
Happy birthday to all Aries, and a happy new astrological year.
