(Please scroll down for the 2026 Year Ahead forecast.)
After an incredibly active start to the year, the first half of March will serve as a celestial rest and recovery period – one that I highly recommend taking advantage of, as April will bring a new flurry of activity.
We ended February with a solar eclipse in Aquarius, followed by the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries. This double-header will remain in play for some time and continue to serve as the impetus for restructuring and rebuilding our world to come.
We begin this month with our second eclipse of the season in the sign of Virgo on March 3rd. This full moon eclipse will mark the ending of a narrative and prompt us to make the necessary adjustments to our daily routine. The full moon sits opposite a stellium of planets in Pisces, emboldening a release and detoxification of all that no longer serves us. This is a good time to reduce your workload, rest, rejuvenate, and integrate all that has transpired. Virgo is the sign that rules health, and this lunation supports prioritizing your mental and physical well-being.
On March 10th, Jupiter, our planet of abundance, expansion, and luck, will station direct. This gives greater activation to those energies and is something to take advantage of as Jupiter will remain in Cancer, its place of exaltation, until the end of June.
On March 20th, the Sun enters Aries, kicking off the astrological new year. Mercury, our planet of communication, also stations direct on this day. The urge to take action will be heightened, but I’d recommend waiting a few weeks until Mercury is full speed before launching major initiatives, as we don’t have all the necessary information just yet. Mercury is still in Pisces in its post-retrograde shadow. Although a great position for artistic and intuitive endeavors, the details are murky. I’s will need to be dotted, and t’s crossed - ideally once we move into April.
We end March with Saturn sextiling Pluto – a helpful transit for building the structure we need for transformation. Two days later, Venus enters Taurus, its home base, leaving us on a sweet note before we enter April and step into more fiery astrology. More on that in next month’s forecast.

Forecast for 2026: The Year Ahead
2026 is a year that will uplevel us, particularly in our inner world, in how we express ourselves, and in our courage to be our authentic selves. We have all of our outer and social planets moving into air and fire signs, making this a very action-oriented year. Above all, I think we’ll have a lot more clarity about the future, its possibilities, and how we fit into it.
This year’s transits in air and fire will speak very directly to us. When we are fully aligned, we will glide through the year at a quickened pace, exploring possibilities and opportunities that were previously unattainable. When we’re fragmented, unsure, or out of alignment, this energy can leave us feeling burned out, left behind, or living in a post-apocalyptic world. Trust the energy, how you feel, and embrace the courage to go your own way.
Looking back, 2025 was a year of endings, completion, and culminations. We were closing a major 14-year chapter of our lives, which began back in 2011. We’re now opening a new chapter at 0 degrees Aries, the very first sign and degree of the zodiac, marking a time of new beginnings and initiations. We’re starting from a blank slate and are emboldened to build anew from the ground up.
The energy of this year encourages us to do the following:
1. Let go of the past and embrace that one chapter of our lives is over, and a new one is beginning.
2. See things from a different perspective and explore new and unexpected opportunities. Especially the unusual and crazy ones. To quote one of my favorite teachers, Rick Levine, with regards to Uranus transits, “If nobody thinks you’re going crazy, then you probably are.”
3. Move into a space of greater authenticity. The hard work is often about choosing authenticity over status or how you appear in the eyes of others.
4. Embody the courage to begin again. 2026 is bolstered with Aries energy, followed by a boost of Leo energy mid-year – a huge blast of audacity and determination to start something new or to breathe fire into an old project in a new way.
