The week opens with the flowing trine of Venus in Taurus and the Virgo South Node. This favorable synergy symbolizes harmony between our values, attachments, and our areas for growth and awareness.

Harvesting the wisdom of our past serves us best. At the surface, our attraction to familiarity may appear like a step backward, but the most reliable tools for moving forward may be hidden in what is already cultivated or once desired. Use this energy to hone your skills, make practical use of your talents, and remind yourself of where your heart once sought comfort.

The cosmic pressure that has dominated since the Libra Full Moon begins to dissipate as Venus in Taurus breaks away from its square-up with Pluto in Aquarius. A grueling confrontation with the fears that surround our attachments, material security, worthiness, and relational dynamics is integral to our growth.

However, as we take full ownership of the hidden truths that have directed our patterns, we can love, give, or achieve on steadier ground. The universe is not punishing us by revealing how we hold ourselves back or sabotage our own blessings; it is strengthening us by forcing us to dissect the shadows that secretly dominate our lives.

Abundant Jupiter in Cancer challenges the Sun and Full Moon, suggesting that endings will manifest when we choose to preserve our peace rather than overextending ourselves to cater to others. The tension we are experiencing in our lives and relationships is revealing an imbalance. The part of our nature that orients toward people pleasing or our uncompromising self-assertion is forced into the spotlight.

This ending chapter urges us to consider what our environment is mirroring back to us and revealing about our internal state of being. It takes courage to bring our lives into equilibrium, especially during times as intense and uncertain as the cycles we are currently navigating. Our intuition is lighting the way forward.

Venus, the ruler of the Full Moon, is empowered in Taurus yet under the brute force of Pluto in Aquarius. We’re forced to confront the truth of our patterns and attachments. How have they lured you into fierce power struggles, unhealthy relational dynamics, or choices that do not serve your best interests? With expansive Jupiter as our guiding light, the universe is offering us an exit we must take, but also teaching us to master a graceful conclusion as we welcome change and transformation.

We recommend reading your horoscope using your rising sign first for life direction, and your sun sign afterward for further affirmation and clarity.

Libra

The light of the Full Moon glows in your corner of the sky, magnetizing your energy and ushering you toward the end of a pivotal personal evolution.

As we shift from the reckless fire of Aries season into the grounded month of Taurus on April 19, we may have more discipline to make steady and grounded progress. Acting with integrity and speaking with intention is how we grow. But liberation doesn’t lie in rigidity; it exists in the space where we can hold a clear direction and tangible plan while adapting to life’s ebbs and flows.

We recommend reading your horoscope using your rising sign first for life direction, and your sun sign afterward for further affirmation and clarity.

Aries

While your sign is ablaze with a high concentration of planetary presence, the heavy hands of Mars, Saturn, and Neptune transform your natural impulse into a high-pressure internal inquiry.

We are crossing a threshold where we must decide what has reached its expiration and what has earned its place in our next chapter. Yet as an energetic high point, this dramatic and sensitive lunar phase coincides with events, endings, celebrations, or emotional goodbyes that feel like a long-awaited transition.

While the zodiac sign dictates the essence of the Full Moon, the astrological house where it resides provides vital context. Our experiences under each Full Moon are tied to the themes of our activated houses and the unique patterns playing out in our personal stories.

Full Moon In The 1st House: Self-Recognition

When the full moon illuminates your 1st house, the spotlight falls directly on your presence, being, and identity. This is an invitation to witness the new version of you that has emerged since the last solar cycle. You’re evolving. The visceral urge to shed your old skin—labels, aesthetics, or a self-limiting story about who you think you have to be—will allow you to welcome the new path that’s calling you forward.

Celebrate the moments where you surpassed your own expectations. Acknowledge when you were courageous enough to let life show you that you’re capable of more. This is your invitation to stand in your sovereign power; let go of the “you” that was built for others, and express yourself with true authenticity.

Full Moon In The 2nd House: Reclaiming Your Energy

Illuminating the intersection of your self-worth and your physical world, the Full Moon in your 2nd house reflects ending chapters relating to your resources and security. A financial goal or material milestone may finally come to fruition. However, the true harvest of this moment is recognizing what you want and whether that’s in alignment with what you’ve pursued.

Release the exhausted belief that your worth is tied to your productivity or your possessions. Purge the scarcity mindset that keeps your breath shallow and your actions restrained. Whether you are finalizing a purchase, witnessing a shift in your income, or realizing you could have asked for more, use this moment to reclaim your time and energy, or to remember your value.

Full Moon In The 3rd House: Sudden Awareness

Hidden information or unspoken truths are brought into the light of the Full Moon in your 3rd house. The air is heavy with realization; a mental breakthrough or a long-awaited conversation offers the clarity or closure you’ve been seeking. Your local environment becomes a mirror for your internal shifts; you may walk away from a community hub, adjust your commute, or witness changes to your local library or cafe.

This is a moment to be outside, to engage with your neighbours, relatives, or peers, and to communicate with the honesty and authority of someone who no longer fears being misunderstood. Mental shifts that coincide with this moment are integral to your future; detail the powerful ideas that spring to mind through written words.

Full Moon In The 4th House: Emotional Closure

When light of the Full Moon reaches into your 4th house—the deepest roots of your chart—it illuminates the sanctuary of home and your emotional foundations. This marks a sensitive culmination, where your heart searches for emotional security or belonging. A domestic chapter comes to a close, coinciding with important interactions with family or realizations about your traditions, lineage, and upbringing.

You could bring a renovation project to a close or reach a point of finalization with your plans to relocate. This Full Moon is for bringing your deepest feelings to the surface—even if it’s only for your own acknowledgment. Explore the habitual patterns that must be cleared in order to create a stable foundation for future growth.

Full Moon In The 5th House: Heartfelt Conclusion

When the moon peaks in your 5th house of creation and romance, you’re witnessing the heartfelt end to a chapter that has brought you joy or stifled it. The purpose of this transition is to move toward fulfillment—whether that’s releasing your passion project into the world and transitioning from a casual lover into a devoted partner, or leaving a hobby or relationship that no longer excites you.

Mastering the art of a graceful exit is how you’ll evolve without friction. If you have children, a milestone in their lives may coincide with this Full Moon. Or, witnessing what moves and energizes the playful spirit of your inner child will give you a clue as to what’s waiting to unfold in your next chapter.

Full Moon In The 6th House: Breaking Habits

The Full Moon rising in your 6th house is an invitation to adjust the habits and routines that have become performative or punishing. The universe brings your attention to the area where your energy has been leaking—false priorities, work that exhausts your spirit, and regimes that no longer support your needs must adjust.

A wellness goal may reach a point of completion, or a shift in your environment, responsibilities, or health will reveal what changes are no longer negotiable. If you’ve been over-functioning, the universe asks you to surrender the illusion of control. Strengthen your devotion to your body and your craft, and remember that your greatest service to the world is a life lived in sustainable and steady alignment.

Full Moon In The 7th House: Commitment Or Separation

Clarity emerges through your interactions when the Full Moon illuminates your 7th house. This is an omen of relational completion. Your romantic partners, collaborators, clients, or friends are your greatest mirror, reflecting your deeper needs and hidden frictions. Competitors are testing your edge—you get to decide how and whether you engage.

When a commitment or promise moves to the forefront, asking for solidification or a mutual separation, your newfound awareness will move you in a conscious direction. The advice or energy of someone else is showing you exactly where you stand. Take people as they are. Release the need to win every battle. Standing in truth and integrity is exactly how you must face the endings or adjustments to set an empowered tone for your next chapter.

Full Moon In The 8th House: Transformation

You’re moving through a profound transformation. The Full Moon in your 8th house reflects endings, closure, and completion in the realm of intimacy, contracts, and healing. Secrets are surfacing, and you’re learning who you can trust. The fruit of your investments is beginning to show. Therapy will support your evolution from a vulnerable chapter, allowing you to process your losses and face your deepest pain with total honesty. Or, you may receive an inheritance or loan, allowing you to clear a karmic or financial debt.

This lunation asks you to trust the process and measure the strength and depth of your shared agreements—are they worth carrying into your next chapter, or have your needs adjusted since their initiation? Reclaiming your power now means focusing on what you can control and releasing the burdens you can no longer carry.

Full Moon In The 9th House: Ending Journeys

The search for meaning concludes under the Full Moon in your 9th house. This lunation symbolizes a moment of revelation—clarity is flooding in, or you’ll discover what you’ve learned in the absence of answers. The impact of moving outside your comfort zone is undeniable now. Exposure to new cultures or broadcasting your perspective to a wider audience presents the opportunity for learning, teaching, and discovery.

Your belief system is brought into focus, either through a shift in your life philosophy, a return to your truth, or the sudden loss of your spiritual foundation. But this is a necessary clearing and an opportunity to reconnect to your intuition. Decisions to move overseas or return home could mark a pivotal ending to a journey that has allowed you to grow mentally and expand your reach. Consider how your point of view has evolved and celebrate your intellectual growth.

Full Moon In The 10th House: Public Honor

When the Full Moon touches the highest point in your chart, you experience a moment of visibility. A career milestone, public honor, or notable shift in your professional direction calls attention to the legacy you are forging. Your energy is more prominent and magnetic, putting you at the forefront of others’ minds and on the receiving end of recognition and awareness. This is an opportunity to act with the authority of someone who has earned their seat, not someone who is still proving themselves.

This ambitious Full Moon is for declaring your intentions or seizing an opportunity with courage and ambition. Or, you may feel called to bring a chapter to a powerful conclusion, having fought to reach the summit and secure your success. Take pride in the actions that have led you to this moment rather than shaming yourself for the imperfection of your journey—you have arrived in perfect time.

Full Moon In The 11th House: Manifestation

Your place within your community is illuminated by the Full Moon in your 11th house. This is a powerful marker of manifestation, coinciding with the completion of a goal, the launch of a collaborative project, or the release of an aspiration that no longer aligns with your hopes for the future. You could witness a shift in your social circle or online following.

Use this moment to express gratitude for those who have elevated you along the way or to release connections defined by shared objectives rather than rooted in real allyship. Honor your friends and celebrate your teammates’ accomplishments. By stepping away from an environment that no longer welcomes you, you are opening up space to find your true people—those who recognize your achievements and welcome you as you are.

Full Moon In The 12th House: Releasing The Past

The heaviest psychological release is marked by the Full Moon in the 12th house. While you’re feeling the magnitude of this high-stakes lunation, the soul-work you’re undergoing is likely invisible to others. You’re called into a period of incubation to process the hidden fears and subconscious patterns that are brought into the light. Your newfound awareness of what’s holding you back will pave the way for deep healing.

Let this be the end to a period of hidden labor—carrying grudges, harboring secrets, or wrestling with anxiety without asking for help. Liberate yourself from karmic burdens by cutting the cord on what you know is draining your energy or keeping you immersed in old cycles and stories. The past cannot be brought forth with you into your next chapter if you truly wish to step into your potential.

The Sun, the ruler of light and consciousness, activates the fierce impulse of our ego and individuality when roaming through Aries. Yet this weekend, the Solar fire meets the soft Neptunian haze and merges with the planet of fantasy, deception, and concealment. Paradoxical forces come together, teaching us where our perceived certainty may be delusion in disguise, and where we harbor illusions around authority, leadership, and individuality.

Dissolving The Armor

As the hard edges of the Aries Sun dissolve, we’re sensing something unseen about ourselves. The universe is pointing our attention to where we have grown rigid, intense, or defensive – not necessarily through our actions but in our energy and aura. We’re lacking our usual alertness, clarity, and self-certainty, which raises the potential for being misguided or misunderstood. Asserting hard boundaries and extreme standards may feel like an expression of self-worth, but the Sun’s alignment with Neptune points to a wall of fear or uncertainty beneath our forceful show of strength.

If you’re questioning yourself more than usual, the Sun-Neptune fusion calls you to express yourself with a deeper consideration of your blind spots. Explore whether you’re resisting softness and vulnerability in favor of aggressive boundaries or brute force. Releasing the pent-up tension and fire in your body that’s locked into the Aries fight response or Neptunian flight mode is how you temper the pressure of your energy.

Universal Consciousness

This transcendental conjunction could also mark a beautiful moment of spiritual revelation. Confusion around our identity and the obscurity of our personal goals may catalyze the loss of our old direction that was tied to false labels and illusions of achievement. By forgetting what we thought we needed to pursue, we can discover a new, rightful purpose. We may also be overwhelmed with the recognition that we are unique individuals, yet also connected to a greater whole.

As the hyper-independent Aries Sun blends with boundless Neptune, we must hold onto the thread of commonalities that unite us all. The universe reminds us that we are not as separate from the people around us as we may believe – we are unique individuals and also connected to a greater whole. Our personalities are distinct, but our souls originate from the same universal source. As we come to terms with our own humanity and acknowledge our oversights, the delusions of our perceived certainty, we deepen our capacity to offer others love and compassion. We see ourselves in them, and them within us.

Compassionate Leadership

An understanding of true sovereignty is impacting our attitude toward those in power. When we harbor inner courage and strength without trailblazing over others, we begin to understand what true, compassionate leadership and empathetic trajectory look like. The conjunction of the Sun and Neptune reflects our disillusionment with leaders, idols, and heroes we can no longer champion – people in positions of authority who are fuelled by their ego’s need for conquest and competition, rather than a higher calling. We may also see this energy echoed in our own impulses and reflexes, where we are abandoning flow for brute force.

The Sun is exalted in Aries, shining in its most explosive form, yet Neptune ensures this radiance is reflective rather than reactive. This is the perfect moment to clear the ambitions that no longer resonate with our evolved sense of self, and to confront the prevailing myths in the collective that leadership must be selfish or dominating to be effective. We are invited to unearth the illusions and glamor at the root of our longings, and recognize how the chase for a future thrill keeps us from embodying presence. When we are guided by a meaning that transcends our personal interests, we can overthrow the frantic urgency of our ego and begin to trust that our lives are moving in perfect timing.

We are moving through a chapter that is far more vulnerable and consequential than the unashamed and fearless Aries energy we are used to. A new area of your life is charged with reckless errors and egoic urgency as you undergo lessons on accountability, self-honesty, and integrity. Despite these necessary growing pains, this month remains a powerful signal of rebirth – a living testament to your resilience and an invitation to begin again.

Your new chapter starts here.

We recommend reading your horoscope using your rising sign first for life direction, and your sun sign afterward for further affirmation and clarity.

Aries

The mirror of the world reflects a version of yourself that is both ancient and newborn as the Sun illuminates your sign. You’re regaining confidence and momentum, but in many ways, this season will challenge the areas where you’re still learning and developing.

Revival is fresh on our minds, and the urge to reset and clarify new intentions for the road ahead marks the initiation of a transformative cycle. The feelings and experiences that arise in alignment with the New Moon are no coincidence; they’re calling us toward a new path, affirming what’s next for us, or reminding us of our power to turn over a new leaf.

We don’t have to wait for the calendar year to reset or the Spring Equinox to arrive in order to start over—the New Moon reminds us that it’s intention and alignment rather than the perfect moment that creates space for new energy to flow into our lives.

While the zodiac sign dictates the cosmic weather of the New Moon, the astrological house where it resides provides vital context. Our experiences under each New Moon are tied to the themes of our activated houses and the unique patterns playing out in our personal stories.

New Moon In The 1st House: Personal Evolution

When the New Moon settles into your 1st house, it marks an energetic rebirth likened to a personal ‘New Year’. This is a total recalibration of your consciousness, identity, and presence. The universe invites you to embody a version of self that is true to your soul and more aligned with who you want to be in the world.

This is a step beyond altering your appearance or aesthetic — it’s a moment to retune the energy you project and redefine your character and story. Your internal growth is mirroring external changes and leading you in a direction that feels more authentic. When you’ve outgrown your old life structure, this New Moon invites you to build again with a new signature and vision of your potential.

New Moon In The 2nd House: Recognising Value

The New Moon in your 2nd house illuminates the intersection of your self-worth and your material world. Fresh energy is pouring into your life, mirroring the expansion of financial channels or opportunities to refine or monetise your skillset. This New Moon encourages you to strengthen your confidence, not by looking for belongings or accomplishments to affirm your worth, but by remembering that you are eternally valuable as a unique being on Earth.

This new beginning is for restoring material security, organising your resources, reclaiming your time, and reminding yourself that you are deserving. New purchases and possessions acquired under this New Moon may be more significant over the coming months than you initially realise.

New Moon In The 3rd House: Mental Reset

In the 3rd house, the New Moon mirrors the renewal of your thought process and mental patterns. A new perspective is unveiled, leading you to set new intentions that manifest opportunities close to home. Your immediate environment is electrified with meaning and possibility. The streets you walk, the people you pass, or the music that replays on a loop may be the source of clarity, realisation, or awareness.

This New Moon inspires a shift in the way you articulate yourself and perceive the world — this is the fastest way to manifest change. Writing, whether for personal pleasure or intentional creation, is more powerful now. Interactions with neighbours or relatives may offer fresh and honest wisdom that supports you in the months to come.

New Moon In The 4th House: Cultivating Stability

A moment of vulnerability coincides with the New Moon in your 4th house. The energetic focus shifts toward your home, family, and emotional security, urging a reset that will bring greater comfort to your life. This New Moon also reflects an ancestral pull toward spaces where you truly belong. If you aren’t putting down roots in a new physical location, this lunation asks you to tend to your internal and energetic foundations through conscious self-care.

Interactions with family, especially those organised in the space you call your sanctuary, may fill your cup and help you turn over a new leaf. New domestic routines and rituals may activate a deeper sense of safety and calm.

New Moon In The 5th House: Creative Inspiration

As the New Moon revitalises your 5th house, you’re called toward romance, pleasure, and play. Joy is now at the centre of your awareness as this new chapter unfolds. This New Moon is for setting an intention to invest more time and energy into a hobby, passion project, or romance. It calls you to move toward whatever (or whoever) makes you come alive.

The inner child is awakened during a 5th house New Moon; this is an invitation to explore your artistic impulse and create for the sake of expression. You have far more to contribute to the world than your labour and productivity. Explore your options with a sense of wonder and create more moments of laughter and delight. If you have children, this lunation is a powerful moment to forge new and lasting memories.

New Moon In The 6th House: New Rituals

You’re refining the pillars and structures of your life when the New Moon rises in your 6th house. This lunation invites you to interrogate your own devotion and reallocate your energy toward newly emerging priorities. This is a powerful moment to set new intentions around your fitness, nutrition, and well-being. Routines, rituals, and regimes that are introduced to your life now are more likely to stick and produce results.

If your health isn’t a central focus under this New Moon, your work, office culture, or craft may be struck with fresh energy. A better system to stay organised and productive could emerge, or the shift may be as simple as running your errands or performing your duties at a different time. This New Moon calls for adjustments in your day-to-day responsibilities.

New Moon In The 7th House: The Promise

A fresh chapter is underway, impacting how you relate to and understand others. If a relationship or contractual agreement enters a new, defining chapter, the New Moon in your 7th house mirrors an opportunity to set shared intentions for the near future and deepen your commitment. Whether romantic, professional, or platonic, explore how your connection to others has impacted your sense of self.

You’ll learn which direction to head in through the clarifying advice, support, or collaboration of someone who is mirroring your energy. If a new competitor or client emerges, they may be the catalyst for growth and awareness over the coming months. The integrity it takes to hold a promise or cultivate a deeper understanding of the people in your life will inspire this next journey.

New Moon In The 8th House: Rebirth & Realignment

In the house of shadows, alchemy, and intimacy, the New Moon marks a profound transformation. The energy is vulnerable and sensitive, calling for deepened trust as life moves you to face what is hidden or merge with someone else — be it your finances, your body, or your secrets.

Taking on a debt or paying a bill, making an investment, or engaging in transformative or therapeutic work may shape your near future. If you were weighing up your choice to consult an expert, this New Moon says: enlist support from someone you trust so you don’t have to face what is difficult alone. As you step into this new chapter, you’re shedding the skin of who you once were. This new, unfolding journey calls for greater resilience.

New Moon In The 9th House: Reframing The Narrative

Your soul yearns to move forward and upward when the New Moon energises your 9th house. Setting the intention to expand your worldview will pave the path for your next journey. Exploring your personal philosophy, belief system, and religious or political principles will be more transformative now. If educational chapters call your name, investing in a period of research, study, or mentorship could support your professional success.

The search for truth and meaning shapes this New Moon; you may feel inspired to plan a long-distance journey or initiate a new chapter in a place that is foreign to you. Moving outside your comfort zone is most powerful now. Focus on your highest aspirations, publish your ideas, and move into spaces that challenge you to grow.

New Moon In The 10th House: Legacy-Building

The 10th house is the highest point of the chart — the place where you are most visible to the world. A New Moon here is a powerful moment for career elevation. Actions taken now or the way you present yourself will shape how you are remembered. If you are seeking a promotion or pivot toward a path that is more purposeful, the New Moon mirrors the arrival of an opportunity that is helping you get there.

This New Moon encourages you to be deliberate in how you take up space and assert your ambitions. It calls you to act with the authority of someone who knows they deserve to succeed. Remembering your responsibility to the public sphere may inspire you to set intentions that are deeper than your previous goals and enriched with the desire to build a legacy.

New Moon In The 11th House: Glowing Dreams

Your community, dreams, and hopes for the future are activated when the New Moon touches your 11th house. This lunation carries fortunate energy and mirrors the beginning of a new chapter that could see your social circle and aspirations expand.

Launching a vision or collaborating with like-minded souls will deepen your sense of belonging and purpose. But new beginnings may emerge slowly, starting with the visualisation of what you wish to create and manifest over the coming months. Share your inspiration with friends and stay close to those who mirror your faith and sense of possibility.

New Moon In The 12th House: Sacred Silence

Healing and resting are favoured when the New Moon rises in your 12th house. The sky is a darkened void, and in your life, this reflects a moment of solitude and spiritual retreat. A chapter of psychological healing is underway as your attention is drawn to fears surrounding your upcoming journey. But unlike the other New Moons, the impact of this lunation is quiet and hidden.

It urges you to start fresh without the shackles of the past binding you to patterns or anxieties that once held you hostage. Nobody else may see how hard you’re working to move forward emotionally, but you’ll feel the weight of new, unfolding chapters more intensely. This next journey calls for a greater prioritisation of stillness, meditation, and introspection.

We may find ourselves over-compensating for a lack of clarity around our past or certainty toward our future by trusting every feeling or sign that might actually be a projection. Though we may believe we’re responding with a higher awareness, we won’t truly know of our distortion or misjudgement until after this retrograde ends on March 20. Only by slowing down and discerning where our minds have drifted toward illusions and fantasy will we understand whether we are moving toward our true north or chasing a mirage.

Aries Rising

Mercury retrograde offers a window for seclusion, introspection, and recovery. This is a healing chapter for you—one where your inner work lies in dissecting the symbolism of your dreams. Keep a journal close to you over the coming three weeks—keep it at your bedside and take it on your walks.

The messages arriving now may be more meaningful than they first appear and may later confirm an intuitive feeling you had but couldn’t name. Releasing the ghosts of the past rather than pushing for external progress will help bring your life into balance.

Taurus Rising

Your social landscape and long-term aspirations are under a microscope, likely bringing the reappearance of old friends or the realisation that certain bonds or affiliations no longer feel aligned. Mercury retrograde is a beautiful opportunity to revisit abandoned creative aspirations and audit your circle—not with resentment, but with acceptance and compassion.

Delaying the dart to joint ventures involving a group is wise. Trust that a missing piece of information will surface when you are patient, allowing you to make a well-rounded choice that supports your future.

Gemini Rising

You’re entering a season of professional revision, calling you to reimagine your destiny and legacy rather than expanding outward. When you encounter delays in a project or a drifting sense of purpose, look back at your previous career goals to see if an abandoned path is still calling you.

Forget how you wish to be perceived; this season of your life is for re-aligning with the highest vision of who you want to be and how you wish to take up space in the world. Hold off on announcing major life changes, and instead, allow yourself to move through a chapter of uncertainty in privacy.

Cancer Rising

Mercury retrograde invites you to question the truths you have lived by for years. It marks a period of deeper philosophical inquiry, and a chapter in which you may feel a nostalgic pull toward a spiritual practice or a distant place you once loved.

Use this three-week cycle to re-read the book that once changed your life or return to meditative rituals that settle your mind when you get lost in “what-ifs”. This is an invitation to soften your dogmatic mental frameworks and allow space for life to surprise you with insight you couldn’t see beyond the veil of your own projections.

Leo Rising

The focus shifts to your shared resources and intimate relationships during Mercury retrograde. This is heavy, soulful territory where unresolved financial disputes or emotional burdens resurface for closure. Transparency is your safest bet, even when the energy around you remains hazy and uncertain.

Start by acknowledging the feelings or hardships you’ve bypassed. The pain you’ve denied. The financial struggles you’ve left to work itself out without your effort or influence. Any financial decisions or contracts you take on now require a deeper level of trust and clarity. If you step forward, you’ll be forced to re-evaluate your decision later. 

Virgo Rising

A mirror is turned on you over the coming three weeks. Mercury retrograde says: “Your partners are showing you what you cannot see about yourself, the world, and your emotional and relational patterns.” When you listen more than you speak, you’ll find clarity instead of filling moments of silence with anxious assumptions.

Misunderstandings are likely, but not all are a sign of a fractured foundation. Some are necessary to recognise where the shadow of the past still lingers in the present. If a past lover reaches out or you find yourself moving toward a pivotal decision that’ll impact a romantic or business partnership, ask yourself if you’re guided by faith or fantasy.

Libra Rising

Disruptions to your schedule, routine, or workflow may leave you with a sense that your usual systems are failing you. This Mercury retrograde is not about clinging to what isn’t working or spiralling, but accepting what you cannot control and keeping your to-do list light. Life won’t always mirror your vision, but that doesn’t mean you’ve fallen behind.

Listen to your body’s subtle signals, and you might discover that your defeatism is actually fatigue—a call to rest rather than a message of failure. Revisiting patterns that sustain your physical health and emotional well-being is the best way to cultivate calm in a moment of chaos. But efficiency isn’t the goal; alignment is. 

Scorpio Rising

The past is calling, which may manifest as a literal reconnection with an old lover or a reconsideration of your romantic history and creative output. Mercury retrograde is an opportunity to explore what lies in your heart and how the past informs the way you engage with a hobby, artistic project, or in love. Avoid high-stakes decisions or big promises when you feel confused.

Reimagining the past or future with a rose-tinted perspective could harm the growth or connections you’re nurturing in the present. This retrograde is offering you the luxury of time and a soulful reminder that you’re allowed to explore your feelings, muse, and childhood joys without needing to explain yourself. 

Sagittarius Rising

As Mercury retrograde illuminates your emotional centre, questioning what steals or sustains your peace becomes your new normal. But enforcing the changes you’ve envisioned in your home environment or family network must come after you’ve explored patterns within yourself and the unspoken expectations of your heritage and lineage.

Treat this chapter of your life as a re-exploration of anything that has unconsciously shaped your identity and security, and the idealistic ideas that cause you to cling to the past. Any delays, misunderstandings, or moments of confusion that challenge your domestic life are an opportunity to pause and delve into the stories you tell yourself about what’s possible and true. 

Capricorn Rising

Fated feelings may offer the illusion of clarity, but this chapter of your life calls for introspection over serious communication. You cannot control the flow of dialogue during Mercury retrograde. Misunderstandings are rampant, and projections may be considered over the voice of the person who’s expressing themselves. But this cycle is teaching you the power of internal dialogue.

Direct the questions you have for others toward yourself first. Allow yourself more time than you think you need to consider your response, edit, travel, and plan. The universe encourages compassion during this chapter of your life — offer yourself and others grace for words shared in a daze and contradictions made while attempting to convey deeper feelings.

Aquarius Rising

As you come to see the demands of the consumerist world with a higher perspective, you’ll begin to explore your financial patterns, values, and resources through new eyes. This retrograde cycle is an opportunity to reflect, not respond. Notice what you’re drawn to, where you assign value and meaning, and the unconscious influences that sway your mind. Security is subjective; what it signalled to you in the past may no longer resonate today.

It’s time to realign by considering which of your beliefs set you up to thrive, and which are positioning you to fall short. Major purchases, investments, or financial adjustments during this cycle may feel aligned, only for you to later realise your misjudgment. Rather than looking toward what is new, consider what you can repurpose and reclaim.

Pisces Rising

As Mercury retreats through your sign, you may feel suspended in a liminal space — somewhere between what you thought you wanted and the shape your life is taking. This chapter is supposed to be uncertain and undefined — a moment of feeling lost that paves the way for the discovery of your true north. It calls for self-questioning and fine-tuning your internal compass.

Reconsider whether you’re moving in a direction that feels right more than it makes sense. Measure your old vision against the new one taking form. Even when your intuition isn’t as sharp as usual, trust your instincts without the urge to react and be gentle with yourself.

Venus in Aries reflects a chapter of push-pull dynamics within our love lives. It amplifies self-love and confidence, making our approach to connection bold, daring, and unapologetic. However, a fixation on our wants and desires can cause an oversight of what benefits others. This cycle calls for a courageous pursuit of our heart’s desires: a passionate interest, a lover, or a monetary goal. It also warns us against recklessness that ruins a good thing before it can blossom, or rushing into emotional commitments or financial agreements without clarity.

Venus Conjunct Saturn & Neptune

The arrival of Venus in Aries in 2026 reflects a heavier, accountable, and measured energy that is far from the standard essence of this transit. From March 6 to March 9, Venus, the cosmic lover, closes its distance with mature Saturn and mystical Neptune.

This sobering energy demands serious consideration before launching into new relationships or taking on ambitious projects or expenses. Saturn is the planet of restriction, boundaries, and responsibility. Idealistic Neptune rules faith, illusions, and dreams. Together, they urge us to exercise restraint as our hearts take the lead. This isn’t about resisting our desires, but treating them with the patience and devotion they deserve.

The fantasies we hold around love are stripped away during the first week of Venus in Aries. We must reckon with the reality of where we have loved selfishly. While keeping our standards high, has entitlement eclipsed our appreciation? Have we tipped the harmonious scales of our relationships by over-asserting what benefits us?

If we have painted an image of romance that equates true love with fast, explosive, and all-consuming passion, Venus’ alignment with Saturn and Neptune signals a stark reality check. Connections that hold the potential for longevity won’t be the one that burns fast and furious. The most worthwhile unions are those that develop steadily, where commitment is respected rather than rushed, and attraction and intimacy are sustained beyond the initial excitement.

The Venus Return: For the Venus in Aries Native

For those born with Venus in Aries, this chapter marks your Venus return. Transiting Venus returns to its natal home in your birth chart, marking a recalibration of the way you express and receive love. The raw, unfiltered essence of who you are is empowered, and your values and radical self-acceptance are generating an irresistible magnetism.

Your demands may have been too blunt or selfish to the wrong person, but during your Venus return, the energy is in your favour, and people may be more open when you set the tone in partnerships and agreements. There’s no room for games—don’t be afraid to be the first to claim the moment, to elevate your personal style, and to make your desires known.

Through the high-pressure square alignment, we find ourselves suspended between our primal urge to act in one way and the universe’s force moving us in a different direction. This energy is torn and conflicted. It invites us to sharpen our awareness of the areas of our lives that are in obvious conflict and to observe our innate reaction when we find ourselves at a crossroad.

While Mars mirrors our sense of urgency to charge ahead, liberating Uranus—the planet also associated with awakening, realisation, and enlightenment—calls us in an unconventional direction. When habitual patterns and instincts are shaken up, the predictable road forward may feel like a slow death in comparison to the riskier path of rewriting your rulebook.

Yet the intensity of this square-up urges us to trust our instincts that feel empowered rather than our resistance. Both planets move at high speed, making this ungrounded friction a time to be wary of accidents, injuries, controversial reactions, and conflict.

Out-of-character instincts will strike a chord, creating irritation in our environment. Or, someone else’s rash behaviour may remind us how little control we hold over others. Ultimately, this transit insists that we confront the discomfort we feel when life takes a surprising turn. The same event that triggers us can be the gateway to a redirection if we understand that some roadblocks and obstacles are making us better off.

Mars in Aquarius Square Uranus in Taurus

From late February through the first week of March 2026, Mars in Aquarius encounters Uranus in Taurus, mirroring a streak of rebellion and a sudden urge to push against the forces that feel domineering and controlling. This sharp collision peaks on February 27, alongside realisations of how our pursuit of freedom and autonomy is costing us our stability, or if our attachment to our comfort zone is keeping us from a liberating future.

Mars in progressive Aquarius symbolises independence and our drive to move toward a greater vision. It is the energy of the reformer, activist, and pioneer—the side of us that leans toward optimisation and would rather keep a cool distance, even when collaborating toward shared goals. However, the Martian drive hits a wall when pitted against Uranus in earthy Taurus. Uranus is disrupting the patterns and perceived security that keep us small and stagnant.

The cosmic landscape is stubborn, yet its potential is electric. Sudden changes in your life demand an innovative response and problem-solving, rather than an unconscious return to your habitual instincts. It’s moments like these that allow your inner genius to shine when you’re forced to move swiftly under pressure.

Strategise your next move without allowing fleeting discomfort to fire up your reckless impulses. Identify which safety nets have become heavyweights and where you’ve dug in your heels, refusing to allow anything or anyone to stand in your way, even when it doesn’t serve you.

How you act under stress can reveal what you’re made of, but also the fear that drives you. Before you break away from a sturdy network, drain your resources, or make a sharp turn in search of a thrill, don’t lose sight of the dangerous consequences of your sudden action. Break your own rules if it means moving toward something beneficial to your wider growth, but don’t disrupt your flow without cause.
