In March 2026we are in full swing eclipse season. On March 3, we have a Total lunar eclipse in Virgobringing very real culminations, adjustments and consequences.
At the same time, we are still integrating the Saturn-Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries starting in February, the reset that marked the official beginning of a new era.
And yet, while the technically a new era has begunwe are still processing the previous. Pisces energy remains strong in March, with several planets lingering in the last sign of the zodiac.
This creates a very particular atmosphere – partial closure, partial ignition. We are standing with one foot in the ocean of the past and the other already on dry land.
…then at the equinox, things warm up quickly – On March 20, 2026, we will have a rare concentration of 6 planets in Aries.
Later this month, we will have an exact Pluto Saturn-Sextile.
But let’s take a look at the most important transits of the month:
March 3, 2026: Full Moon and Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo
On March 3, 2026, we have a Full moon and Total lunar eclipse at 12° Virgo.
This is a South Node eclipse, culminating issues that have been running in the background. In Virgo, this can manifest as outdated systems, perfectionist habits, or responsibilities that no longer make sense in the context where we are headed.
He The eclipse is sextile with Jupiter, So despite the usual intensity associated with eclipse season, there is support available. There is a broader framework that makes the settings easier to understand.
Not everything that ends is a loss: some things simply need to be rearranged.
March 6, 2026: Venus enters Aries, Venus conjunct Neptune and Saturn
On March 6, 2026, Venus enters Ariesand from this moment, it is time to act.
Venus is the first personal planet to activate 0° Aries, the point where Saturn and Neptune met in February, giving us a more personal insight into that broader reset.
On February 20, Saturn and Neptune planted a seed. Now, as the personal planets begin to cross that degree, we begin to understand what that seed really means to us personally. Collective change becomes individualized.
And when we talk about Venus, we talk about values: what matters to us, what we want, what we are willing to invest energy in.
Of all the possibilities that have opened up, which one really resonates? What feels aligned with who we are now, not who we used to be? What not only sounds good on paper, but actually feels good?
March 7, 2026 – Sun Conjunct Mercury
On March 7, 2026, the The Sun is conjunct Mercury retrograde at 16° Piscesmarking the beginning of a new Mercury cycle that sets the direction for the next 3-4 months.
The Sun-Mercury conjunction, like any conjunction, is a seed moment. It is that “chemical reaction” where 2 planets come together and start something new. With the Sun and Mercury, this points to a new cycle of clarity around identity and purpose.
This conjunction also forms a trine to its ruler Jupiter, now at 15° Cancer, adding support and coherence to the process.
If you have a project in mind (something related to your purpose, healing, improving relationships, or simply bringing a new idea into the world), this new Mercury cycle is especially supportive. The ground is receptive and the moment is constructive.
March 11, 2026: Jupiter turns direct
On March 11, 2026, Direct Jupiter Stations at 15° Cancer. From this point on, Jupiter will move quite quickly through Cancer, entering Leo as early as the end of June.
We have 4 more months of Jupiter left in the sign of his exaltation. This month, the planets in Pisces apply trines, one by one, to Jupiter, creating flow and support and helping things move more naturally.
Let’s enjoy it while it lasts.
March 14-17, 2026 – Mercury Conjunction Mars Conjunction North Node
Between March 14 and 17we have a powerful triple conjunction: Mercury retrograde and Mars both activate the North Nodenow in 8° Pisces. On March 15 we will have the exact Mercury-Mars conjunction at 9-10° Pisces.
When the planet of mind (Mercury) meets the planet of action (Mars), we not only think or talk about something, but we act accordingly. We say what we want to say. We lead by example. Let’s go for it.
And when we try, we don’t go in any direction. With the North Node involved, the focus is aligned with where we should grow, with the path of our destiny.
March 19, 2026 – New Moon in Pisces
In March 19, 2026we have a Auspicious New Moon at 28° Pisces. The New Moon is conjunct Neptune and Saturn (now in the early degrees of Aries) and is exactly sextile Uranus in Taurus.
This New Moon can help us see how exactly we can make a dream come true, or something we never thought would materialize, in one way or another.
The result may not be exactly as we originally imagined. Saturn and Neptune are now in Aries, so the expression is different from the Pisces version of the dream.
But it will nevertheless be an expression of something authentic, something that has been building for a long time and is now ready to take shape in a more concrete way.
March 20, 2026: the Sun enters Aries
On March 20, 2026, the The sun enters Aries. Happy birthday to all Aries and happy astrological new year to all.
Like Venus at the beginning of the month, shortly after entering Aries, the Sun will be conjunct Neptune (on March 21) and Saturn (exactly on March 25).
Now we are talking. THIS is the true beginning of a new cycle: the journey of a new hero or heroine.
The entry of the Sun into Aries marks that threshold in which we go from waiting for things to happen “out there” to making them happen ourselves.
Aries in general – and particularly Aries 0° – carries that primordial ignition energy, generating incredible momentum. This is pure birth energy!
March 20 and the days following are particularly important to articulate and gain clarity around your purpose. This is a time to make a commitment. From this moment on, there will be no going back to your old version.
March 21, 2026: Mercury turns direct
On March 21, 2026, Mercury goes direct to 8° Piscesclearing some of the fog that always accumulates in the last sign of the zodiac.
But if we’re really honest, sometimes we like to get lost in the fog. Call it daydreaming, creative wandering, or just taking some time off, and “off” is a very Mercury in Pisces word.
Sometimes we need that silence, that drift, that space where things are not clearly defined, to reconnect with ourselves and with what really matters.
As Mercury moves forward again, the insights gained during the retrograde period begin to crystallize. What was vague begins to make more sense.
March 26, 2026: Venus conjunct Chiron in Aries
On March 26, 2026, Venus is conjunct Chiron at 25° Aries.reminding us where there is still healing to be done, where acceptance around “I am” is still needed.
But we have come a long way. Over the past 7 years, while Chiron has been in Aries, each year we have gained a little more self-understanding, a little more courage to stand up for who we are.
Believe it or not, this is the last Venus-Chiron conjunction in Aries, at least for the next 43 years or so.
Venus conjunct Chiron will bring a final breakthrough in the way we relate to ourselves and a deeper recognition that we are enough just as we are.
March 28, 2026 – Saturn Sextile Pluto
On March 28, 2026, Saturn (at 5° Aries) is exactly sextile Pluto (at 5° Aquarius). This is a subtle but constructive transit that suggests deeper structural changes are beginning to gain practical support.
Saturn brings discipline and implementation. Pluto brings systemic transformation. The sextile between them suggests that the world could start to implement some operational pipelines.
Conversations about infrastructure (perhaps something related to energy, systems or strategic alliances) could begin to move from idea to execution.
This is not loud or dramatic. But it is functional. And sometimes that’s exactly what it takes for real change to happen.
March 30, 2026: Venus enters Taurus
On March 30, 2026, Venus enter your home sign, Taurus.
Imagine Aphrodite in the Hanging Gardens of Babylon: pure, effortless beauty rooted in nature.
Even if we don’t naturally connect with Venus from this more earthly, sensual angle (and that depends, of course, on the wiring of our own birth chart and current transits), every time Venus is in Taurus, the atmosphere changes a little.
The world feels a little more grounded, a little more tangible, and a little more beautiful.
Aspects and Aspect Patterns 1 Year Program
In March 3, 2026 – andis, in the lunar eclipse sextile Jupiter – are starting our 1 year course on Aspects and Aspect Patterns.
Aspects are the connective tissue of the letter – which brings the different parts of the chart to life. The aspects are the most real and tangible part of astrology, because the aspects are nothing more than the Movements of the planets in the sky.
Astro Mariposa’s blog – the traffic report – is simply a Snapshot of the aspects that make up the planets. with each other in a certain period of time, in this case a month.
And our birth chart is nothing more than one image of heaven at the time of our birth, when the planets were configured in particular aspects to each other.
When we understand how the planets communicate with each other through aspects, 3 important things happen:
- We understand ourselves better. All of our internal conflicts in life come from the fact that there are parts of us (parts of our psyche) that do not fully understand each other. When we understand our aspects (properly, not with Google or computer-generated reports) we begin to see how those parts are connected to each other. We find acceptance. We find fulfillment. We begin to live fully.
- We understand the world better. We begin to see how the energies of the moment are a reflection of the dance of the planets in the sky through aspects. Over time, life becomes less mysterious. We understand that events are part of larger cycles and that everything fits into a larger framework.
- And most importantly, when inner understanding meets outer reality, we find alignment. We understand how we should participate. We find our place in the world.
Astrology is one of the most wonderful tools for awareness and growth when we use it properly.
Aspects And Aspect Patterns is a 1-year journey into the language of aspects and aspect patterns. – how they shape who we are, how they appear in the world around us, and how understanding them helps us live in alignment with both.
