What if the fire in your soul wasn’t meant to burn everything down—but to be tempered by something deeper, slower, and far more ancient? As March unfolds, we find ourselves caught between two essential forces: the initiatory fire of Aries and the dissolving, compassionate waters of Pisces. This is not a month for impulsive declarations or dramatic exits. It is a month for learning how to let your courage be guided by your sensitivity, and your ambition softened by your longing for meaning.

In this episode, Bianca, Courtney, and Shahrzad guide you through the pivotal transits of March 2026—a month that opens with a final Lunar Eclipse in Virgo and carries us through the Spring Equinox into a new astrological year. If February asked you to surrender, March asks you to integrate. The eclipses are clearing something old, and in their wake, a series of graceful trines to a newly direct Jupiter offer you the chance to actually live what you’ve been learning.
We explore the medicine of the Virgo Lunar Eclipse through the lens of a sacred pause—what it means to stop fixing and simply witness what is completing in your life. We follow Mercury as it moves through a profound series of aspects, including a Cazimi with the Sun and a final trine to an exalted Jupiter, reminding you that your smallest, most consistent choices are what steer the ship of your life. And as Venus moves through Aries, meeting Neptune and then Saturn, we ask the question that defines this entire month: Are you beautifying your life, or are you escaping it?
This is a month where fire meets water. Where the courage to begin anew is held by the wisdom to wait, to feel, and to let the unseen settle. By the time Venus enters Taurus at the end of March, you will have laid a foundation for something real—something that can actually last.
There is a practice in the Maori tradition called Rahui—a sacred pause placed over land or water after a loss. It teaches that after something ends, you do not rush to restore normal operations. You allow space for what has happened to integrate. You let the unseen settle. This is the medicine of this month’s Lunar Eclipse in Virgo. Instead of immediately repairing, you pause. Instead of optimizing, you witness. Instead of fixing, you feel. What is completing in your life right now does not need to be replaced. It needs to be honored.
Thank you to Bianca, Courtney, and Shahrzad for guiding us through this deeply reflective month.

Hey everyone. This is Adam Elenbaas from Nightlight Astrology [https://nightlightastrology.com/].
Hello everyone. Welcome to the episode for the forecast of March 2026.
Hello Bianca and Courtney.
Hello Bianca. Hello everybody. Hello, hello.
So unfortunately, today, Adam couldn't be with us today because of some last minute things that happened. So it's going to be the three of us. We're going to take you through the forecast of the March of 2026 and please make sure that you subscribe and also like this video. And thank you so much for your support, and we're happy to be here to talk about March 2026.
So yeah, Bianca and Courtney, how has been your February? Saturn and Neptune conjunction? Been intense, I know, right, and we are still recording this in February. So, yeah, we're still in it, yeah, but we almost made it right, February was probably the most, the biggest one.
It's true. Yeah, I think we're, I mean, we, we're in the middle of eclipse season, so it's still, like, it's pretty intense still. So it feels been, yeah, an interesting ride so far. Yeah?
So, um, let's get into March. I think March is gonna be a little bit maybe less heavy than February. What do you think?
Yeah, there's some really nice trines to Jupiter that we have through the month, right? I'll be covering those. So, you know, this is where my focus is, but it's been nice to be working with these transits after a month of some intense eclipses and conjunctions. And there'll be some more conjunctions here too. Yeah, some spicy things, exactly, yeah.
And we're going to have the spring equinox, which is the Persian New Year. So I'm looking forward to that. It's when, you know, our new year starts, and our new year, kind of, like, is at the same time as, like, you know, the start is Aries, so it's, it's like, when I started learning astrology, I was like, oh, it's the same as the astrology calendar. So that's exciting, too.
Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and share my chart here. Bianca, so now we are looking at March 2, when Mars enters Pisces, and then on March 3, we have the lunar eclipse. Bianca, what do you have for us about this lunar eclipse? Yeah.
So what we've got here? So on the second you mentioned, we have that. We have the Mars entering Pisces and Mars hosts the those planets in Aries, Neptune and Saturn. So it's going to be an interesting it'll be interesting to see how we how we feel the difference, if we do feel any different, as Mars enters into Pisces.
But what I want to mainly focus on right now is on the third of March, we have our final lunar eclipse in Virgo. And this is and when you think about where Virgo sits in your chart, this will give you an idea of what kind of karmic threads have been traveling, unraveling for you over the past 18 months, and there's a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from always tending to the field.
Like Virgo energy is so attentive in it sorts and it improves and it fixes what's broken and refines what's already what already works, and it believes care is expressed through effort. So with the Moon in Virgo, emotional safety can come from feeling useful and from being needed, and from maintaining order and from keeping the ecosystem efficient, so to speak.
But over time, we start to pick up the lessons of of this Moon in Virgo, the South Node in Virgo, and the lessons from always being useful and efficient, and so we can start to feel like maybe there's an automatic reflex to correct before feeling and an urge to replant before the soil has rested. Right?
And I think this eclipse is a threshold, a culmination point in that Virgo house of your chart. And you may notice something completing here, a responsibility lifting, or a dynamic shifting, or an old identity quietly shedding. A karmic pattern is finishing its cycle, and Virgo's instinct is to say, Well, what needs to be done next, and before anything new rushes in, there's something important here that I wanted to share.
Part of my culture in the Maori tradition, there is a practice called Rahui. So this is translated simply as restriction, and it's so Rahui is more accurately like a sacred pause, and it's placed over land or water. And while it can be used for conservation, it also is placed on an area after a fatality or a death, and yeah, if someone has passed in it in that particular place.
And when this happens, the area becomes tapu, and in our language that's sacred, that means sacred, and the land is not treated as neutral. It's understood to be in a state of transition, and the community acknowledges that life and death affect not just people, but places.
Rahui teaches that after loss, you do not rush to restore normal operations. You allow space to integrate what has happened, and you let the unseen settle. And so this is the medicine for the South Node in Virgo. Instead of immediately repairing, you pause instead of optimizing you witness instead of fixing you feel.
So that's what the takeaways that I'm that I'm gathering from this lunar eclipse in Virgo. Yeah. Happy to hear any comments, if you have any.
I love this beautiful Yeah, no, I don't have anything to add to that. I think that was just really beautifully put, and a really important reminder, especially during this season. You know, during eclipse season, to remember to pause can be very challenging thing to do. Sometimes. I think,
yeah, and I'm just thinking with with the ruler of this eclipse being Mercury in Pisces and retrograde. I'm thinking maybe that pause is even more important during this time, because not only it's in Pisces, where Mercury is not comfortable. Here it is also retrograde, and Mars is entering the scene too. So maybe communication and any forms of discussions need to be carried with more cautious maybe during this time.
Yeah, 100% Yeah, totally Yeah.
So the next transit we're going to talk about is on March, 5 sun in Pisces trining Jupiter in Cancer. And I can't wait to hear Courtney's thoughts on that. Yeah.
So this trine between the sun and Jupiter is effectively picking up on a really interesting thread that we began last month. As both Mercury and Venus pass through this exact same configuration, this exact same Trine, this 15 degree trine between Pisces and Jupiter and cancer comes up again multiple times this month, once more, next month too.
And what's interesting about all of these Trines is that because Jupiter is nearing the end of its retrograde period, it's about to station direct. It's moving so slow. So during this one to two month period in which all these Trines are taking place, Jupiter is posted there at the 15th degree of cancer.
And what's interesting about that is the 15th degree of cancer is said to be Jupiter's exaltation degree. We know that every every planet has the sign in which it's exalted, but it also has a specific degree within that sign, and that degree varies between the planets. For Jupiter, that's the 15th degree of cancer, and so to have all this development taking place between these planets, passing through Pisces, with Jupiter stationing direct in the next few days, here, we might be wondering how even the nature of what it means for Jupiter to be exalted might be shifting and changing.
Here, I want to lay a little bit of groundwork for these Trines that we're going to be covering this month, just by unpacking the relationship between Pisces and Cancer really simply. We might think about how Pisces and Cancer are both interested in well being, but the way in which they go about seeking that well being is different. The way they experience that well being might be different as well.
If you look to cancer as the crab, we see that the crab has a shell, so there's a quality of constrainment to the way in which cancer expresses and seeks nourishment. Cancer is interested in protecting and nourishing specific bodies, specific home spaces, whereas Pisces, without that exoskeleton, is more related to things like cosmic redemption. Pisces is interested in well being and the integrity of the soul in a way that expands and transcends boundaries. It transcends specific bodies, and that double body nature of Pisces as well means Pisces is just as willing to go into the deep, darker places that are more emblematic of Scorpio as it is in the more light and comfortable places of cancer.
But the thing that cancer offers to Pisces is as a cardinal sign cancer can get shit done. Cancer has an initiatory quality that Pisces lacks, and at the same time, the shell of the crab can serve as a creative constraint for Pisces. Just think about how many collective movements took place over conversation in one coffee shop somewhere, like how many collective like civil rights movements, you know, beginning in one church in one small town, and these small, specific concerns happen to resonate with the greater concerns and environment of the collective space, such that we got to see these like massive, almost universal changes take place from that one small, like specific beginning.
Now, if we drop the sun and Jupiter into this location, we might think about how the sun is clarifying and illuminating things in Pisces, that sometimes murky and watery place of Pisces, and bringing them to a distillation point. I'm thinking of this expression that I've heard Adam use in live client readings a few times where he asked the client for a state of the soul address.
This is a very sun and Pisces kind of question, like the experience of the soul can be so hard to, like, make talking points about, but sometimes we need that in order to work with it. And I think this is what the Sun is posing to this place of Pisces. And as the sun is distilling things upward, like beginning to understand patterns, what is of utmost concern to the soul, to this like expansive, boundaryless place in our lives. Right now, the sun is then sending this over to Jupiter, who is the great integrator, the great harmonizer.
I imagine Jupiter taking all of these distillations and weaving them into our own specific bodies, our own specific homes, such that these like great concerns, are finding ways to filter into our day to day lives, so that we can operate with them, on on the level of the specifics, and actually see things begin to change. That's what I've got for this transit. I'm wondering if you guys have anything to add here.
Wow, that was so beautiful. I have nothing.
Yeah, I loved, I love what you said there Courtney with the cancer and and then also with the sun, bringing the sun and Jupiter into it. And it really fits in with that, that mercury cazimi, that I'm actually about to speak about next. So it works out perfectly with the sun illuminating and clarifying and crystallizing. And I think you said the other words, distilling. Yeah, so so on. So much the sixth, just an honorary mention that Venus enters into Aries, and Venus is the exaltation ruler of hosting all those planets in Pisces. So just a little note there.
But on March the seventh, we have a Mercury cazimi, the sun at 16 degrees Pisces. So Mercury sits in the heart of the Sun in Pisces, trining the host in exalted Jupiter, and it gives this quick cazimi some benefic influence. And this mercury cazimi is fleeting, but life, as we know, does not shape itself through grand revelations. Right? Our lives are shaped by small, repeated moments of clarity, and a ship is not steered by one dramatic turn off the wheel. It's steered by constant, subtle corrections, and that is Mercury.
The mutual reception between the Sun and the place of Venus's exaltation, and Venus in the place of the sun's exaltation suggests that there may be tension between tenderness and independence right now, or autonomy and compassion. So some of the things you could be working through is learning how to speak your truth, hold your boundaries, protect your desires, and still act from a place of compassion.
So that's what I want to speak about for the Mercury cazimi. It's fleeting, it's quick, but I think there'll be moments of of clarity. Anyone want to share their comments? If you have any,
I'm just struck by by some of the through lines that come up this month. We'll get to them in a little bit. But as you were speaking, I was like, wow. So much of what you have to say is just like directly pinging, like even on the level of the image with with some notes that I have for us later as Mercury makes its second trine to Jupiter, but and just a little teaser.
Yeah, thank you, Bianca. It's interesting that on the same day, we have a Venus conjunct Neptune in Aries and and I'm going to talk about this and how this is this, this energy might be like for us.
So some context on Venus in Aries. Venus is in its exile. Here she is in the fiery, masculine temple of Mars. And it's like it's against the nature of Venus. So Venus in Aries can describe love and attraction through, you know, like boldness, impatience and fiery actions and and it kind of feels like the planet of action and conflict that is Mars, you know, like it just feels like when, when Venus is in the temple of Mars, Venus here operates in a more intense and confrontational environment compared to what she naturally prefers.
And it feels like with Venus in Aries, it can be like, you know, love can become like direct and passionate and sometimes impulsive. And Venus in Aries often can bring themes of, you know, independence, honesty, the thrill of pursuit. And also, there is those feelings that ignite quickly. Desires are maybe acted on immediately. And maybe there's like that not not a lot of patience for games or hesitations when it comes to decisions. So Venus in Aries doesn't really like to wait. It really likes to go and get it done with courage.
At the same time, when I think about this Venus here, they may be just like also a tendency to justify maybe aggression in the name of passion, but maybe that balance is very important during this time in relationships and friendships, you know, to take risks for there might be that energy in the air, but we are going to take risks for what our heart desires and wants. And there might be that appreciation for strength and vitality in others.
But maybe Venus in Aries. This could be a time where we think about how to keep love alive with passion and, you know, initiative, without letting that intensity kind of turn it into destruction. A few things that might we might expect. So this was an overview of Venus in Aries. My thoughts on that, but Venus conjunct Neptune in Aries, a few things that we might expect from this could be like that creative fire, like when these two planets come together, it feels like there is that, you know, just energy being channeled into art, into music, into performance, into creations, spiritual practice. Maybe there is inspired and visionary expressions in a fiery Aries, like way, and also, well, it is at the end of the it is Neptune. Is still Neptune, right? So Neptune might, might bring that, you know, enchantment, but, and Aries brings that, you know, like initiation, but when there might be that fog. And let's think about when the fog clears. Reality might feel less magical because Venus is like, Oh, this is great. I want to do it, and Neptune is there, so things might not be as clear. So watch for maybe disappointment cycles in friendships, relationships or passions. You know, that started with intense idealism.
And also, I'm thinking that Venus, traditionally, you know, it likes diplomacy and Neptune blurs the truth at times. And I'm thinking, on a mundane level, this might symbolize agreements that are made under illusion, or alliances that are formed on hope rather than clarity, when we think of, you know, the world astrology, but, but I think personally, it might look like, like forgiving someone without actually addressing what happened, just sweeping things under the rug, or, you know, just to avoid pain.
And also with this transit, we may want new things. You know we might feel dissatisfied with ordinary life. You know your home might feel dull your partner. You know you you might start to see your partner, oh, this person is full of flaws and things you know in your friendships that are lacking. But I think with this transit, there is a longing for for something pristine and untouched, maybe something new, but the challenge is with this transit, to find divinity and to find beauty in imperfection. And I think sometimes we may need to forgive ourselves for being imperfect others for being imperfect and for life for being imperfect.
And also think of boundaries with this transit, sometimes with with Venus Neptune. You know, compassion and kindness and what we like to give to others can quietly turn into over extension. So it's important to be mindful of that, you know, that desire to heal and and keep harmony, you know, not to let it override our usual clarity. Just pay attention to where your empathy is going to and also remember that love and friendship, you know, they don't require you dissolving your own needs or limits and maybe this transit, you know, the question that it asks is that, are you beautifying your life, or are you escaping it? So that's what I have for this transit I would like to know your thoughts, if you have anything to add.
I think you did a really complete job. And there's so much nuance contained there and in those delineations. Yeah. I mean it definitely like blew my my traditional assumptions about Venus in Aries out of the water.
I'm curious to know what those assumptions are.
I honestly I don't know if I could articulate them. It's more of a feeling, just like everything is just hot right now. It?
Yeah, I was thinking about Shahrazad when you're talking I was like, I couldn't help but think about that Mars that's now in Pisces in then, and Venus being in Aries, and that there's that mutual reception with Mars being in Venus's exaltation. So there's like a softening quality required of Mars at this time and then, and then to have Venus in in Mars's sign is like there's a need for for Venus to exert herself. So it's like the planets are learning from each other and how to act in a softened or strengthened way, in their own way. So, yeah, I just was like, that's really cool, you know, like with the Mars and the Venus, the two lovers in the sky, right?
Yeah, yeah. Thanks for, thanks for bringing it into my attention, yeah, and I'm thinking the next day, on March 8, Venus is conjunct Saturn. Venus is going to be in conjunction with Saturn in Aries. And again, Venus is in exile here, and we have a fallen Saturn here. So this transit can blend that Venusian desire for beauty and pleasure with Saturn's heaviness, seriousness, structure and bound. You know, boundaries.
The sentence that always comes to my mind when I think of Saturn and Venus getting together is like a love that hurts. You know, I love that it's not easy, but like, it's kind it's kind of like that moment that, you know, the pleasure and delights of life are tested by discipline, responsibility and limits. It can maybe heighten that melancholic refinement. Refinement is also, I think, a key word for this transit where feelings, relationships or creative projects kind of mature and deepen, like a like a wine that is reaching, you know, its peak, like vintage.
But it can also maybe be moments of, you know, endings, limitations or transitions in Venusian areas of our lives, you know, maybe esthetics, maybe harmony, maybe friendships, maybe female figures. You know, maybe there's moments of refinement in our relationships with female figures in our lives. But I think there is like a deepening of a fiery love for a brand new thing here and all. So that awareness of limits and boundaries, and also that discernment, that's also a word that comes to my mind with this transit and maybe conscious engagement with pleasure and the material world.
This fiery Venus, you know, here, it's kind of like that boundary of the material world. You know, like, if to me, it feels like here Venus is like getting to because Venus here doesn't like to wait, but it meets Saturn and realizes, Oh, the material world has limits and and doesn't like to be stopped. And Saturn is like, No, but I'm going to show you, you know, the reality check, and there's consequences and responsibilities, but, but when they meet here, it's kind of like your heart is invited to a dance, but like there is so many structures and rules in that dance that you can't ignore, and it might not come natural with you, but when you learn how to use those structures in that type of dance, you can just like, do it, you know, with with more ease.
So you may experience, maybe Venusian themes like beauty or creativity, like meeting like, you know, maturation or being tested or reaching their deepest expression. Like, maybe it's a good time to ask, like, what is worth committing to and what can be nurtured into something that lasts. So that's what I have for this transit.
I love that. Thank you. Sharzad, That's so beautiful. Yeah, I love Venus and Saturn together, contrary to what, yeah. Oh, sorry, Sharzad,
I wanted to say I'm not sure if that's my favorite transit, but yeah,
no, I I've seen it in Natal charts a lot. And I think romantically, it actually there is a gravitas to love. When someone with those natal placements, when they you could just, yeah, I just, I just feel it when I when I see someone's chart, and it just all makes sense. It's like, oh yeah, there's some maturity. I mean, I It's hard to say what Saturn and Venus are going to be like, because in Aries specifically, but I've seen Venus and and Saturn in together and other other places of the chart, and I'm just like, oh, that's that feels like mature love. And I feel like it took a while for them to get there. It was that maturity piece. But, yeah, thank you. Sharzat, that was
so nice. Thanks for sharing that. Yeah, the next one that we have here is mercury retrograding in Pisces, trining.
Jupiter, yeah, and it's on the same day there, on March 8. And this is the second time that mercury makes makes this pass to Jupiter. Mercury has a really special relationship with these trines to Jupiter. If you think back to well, just the fact that with Mercury's retrograde period, it makes this Trine not once, but three times. And then, if you think back to last month when Mercury made its first trine to Jupiter, Mercury's very next move was to station retrograde.
And here, as Mercury is trining Jupiter again, Jupiter's very next move is to station direct, tomorrow, on the day after this transit, not literally tomorrow, but the day after this transit Jupiter, then stations Direct. So there's some way in which whatever conversation is taking place between these planets seems to be mutually informative and ultimately impacting the way in which they move through the world. This is a really interesting thing to think about, and if you look one layer deeper, it gets even more entangled.
If you look to the decans, where these Trines are taking place, in the second decan of Pisces and the second decan of cancer, the second decan of Pisces, where Mercury is hanging out here, is ruled by Jupiter. The second decan of cancer, where Jupiter has been making all of these Trines is ruled by Mercury. That's really interesting, especially when you add in the fact that, like the first of all these Trines is like, it's initiated by Mercury. Mercury is going to be the last planet to make this series of trines to Jupiter.
So there seems to be some way in which whatever change is taking place with all these developments to Jupiter Mercury has a significant hand in it, and it has me thinking about this entanglement of the microcosmic and the macrocosmic, the way in which as as Bianca was talking about with with Mercury's like small movements. Like and how they ultimately lead to this greater shift in direction. We can feel that with Mercury and Jupiter.
Here we unpacked this relationship of the small and the transcendental a little bit already with the Pisces and Cancer relationship, but this, this same dynamic is reflected through the relationship of Mercury and Jupiter. Mercury and Jupiter are said to have this antagonistic relationship, where Jupiter is just trying to embody this whole but Mercury comes along and wants to break that whole into pieces.
You can think about it another way too, and imagine Mercury is operating on the cellular level, whereas Jupiter is operating on the level of the organism. The organism is made up by the cellular but at the same time, all those individual cells have their own unique agenda. And this is kind of where the tension of Mercury and Jupiter plays out.
But when you have mercury, the god of detail, in this expansive place of Pisces, and you have Jupiter, this great integrator, this great harmonizer, in the place of specific homes and specific bodies, you can really feel the way in which the microcosmic is deeply implicated in the macrocosmic and vice versa.
And the image that came to mind here is just like how important small changes can be in terms of directing our greater life path. And you know, imagine you're on that boat again, right? You're standing at the helm. You turn the wheel a fraction of an inch. Suddenly, the path that you're on now, like, it's not sudden, actually, let's be honest, over time, you realize you look back and see that the path you are now is a totally different world you were like, miles different from where you were before, just from the slightest shifting of the wheel. And I think this is one of the dynamics that are that is going to come up here through this mercury Jupiter entanglement.
Thank you, Courtney. And with Jupiter stationing direct right after from March 10 around that time, that's a transit that I really look forward to.
But it just really feels like all this talk of mercury. I mean, yeah, we've got those conjunctions with an Aries, with the Aries activity going on, but it just feels like mercury is is doing a lot of the, a lot of the steering in in this March, for the month of March, with the retrograde and then stationing direct to start its journey, to move forward again, back over some of those slower moving planets. So it's going to be interesting. I really appreciated your, your take on that.
Courtney, yeah, and I'm thinking with Jupiter stationing direct. I'm thinking if those like, miscommunications and issues that might come up with this Mercury Retrograde, they might actually, like, have, like, a good, you know, result, I'm thinking, I think that's that can be a little bit of, I mean, that can be auspicious, in my opinion, you know, that the ruler of that Mercury Retrograde is just going direct, that means that okay, if there was some things missing, you know, it's going to be fine and you'll be fine. So that's the vibe that I'm getting here. Yeah, totally, yeah.
And then on March 15, we're going to have Mercury conjunct Mars. So I personally know this energy very well, because I have it natally and but I have it in an earth sign. But here we have it in an in a water sign in Pisces. So it's a little bit different. But overall, with Mercury conjunct Mars, you see, like a great time for communications, clear communications, you know, just like but, but here it is in Pisces. So it's a little bit of different, because Mercury in pisces, it's kind of feels like the qualities, the usual qualities of mercury, you know, analysis and communication can be challenged. And Mercury here is great for imagination, for poetry, for art, but at the same time, it can favor intuition and feeling over logic. It can have issues with practicality. Sometimes Mercury in pisces and and, you know, with with Mars in Pisces.
Here I'm thinking of actions that can be indirect, or courage and drive that exist but are softened by that. You know, Piscean, you know, empathy, and maybe, instead of like you know, just moving forward in a straight, aggressive, like Martian way, the action is more fluid, more intuitive, and indirect, through emotion and imaginative channels, like in fact. Feeling before acting, and then moves that come with inner inspiration rather than that, that outward, that outward aggression, because Pisces is, is a feminine, you know, sign and then energy can be more inward.
And with this archetype, I'm thinking of maybe someone who fights or speaks, you know passion, like passionately for a dream that, you know, archetype of Mercury and Mars, but because in Pisces, but that speaker or fighter that speaks about a dream with passion, they must navigate confusion and misjudgement, and they should be careful with how they communicate that, because the water can bring a little bit of a no, it can, it's not as clear.
So when Mercury and Mars meet in Pisces, it feels like a communication. Some can be imaginative, but sometimes it can be maybe exaggerated or symbolic. Thoughts and speech can be heated, inspired and impulsive, but clarity may be compromised and and I'm thinking of that quick, maybe pace of thought that is coupled with like emotion and imagination.
So a few things that might come up with this transit could be that we may need to avoid hasty arguments that are not necessarily, they do not necessarily have like a solid foundation, and also intuition in action. Maybe we feel that a strong drive to act on feelings and dreams and our, you know, spiritual insights, which is good for creativity or visionary projects. And also I'm thinking if arguments over maybe ideals, beliefs or ethical matters, you know, might might come up or might be possible.
But overall, this transit can be very good for poetic expressions. You know, new solutions, but it's important to pause before acting on emotional impulses during this time, maybe and and just recognizing that, you know, when Mercury and Mars are meeting, meeting each other here, it's a very strong good it's a strong kind of energy for initiating projects, if they are grounded in mindfulness. So this is what I have for this transit here.
Wow, that was cool. I would just I was thinking of of Pisces Mars and Pisces mercury in Pisces and there's a gentleness to Pisces. People with heavy Pisces placements that I as someone with a stellium in cancer, I vibe with the water placements. Love Me. Scorpios. Love me a Pisces, you know, but it feels so much different getting into comfort with a Pisces than it does with a Scorpio. Like, I'm like, It's just different. And it feels like, yeah, it feels like we're in some this place of like, we're like fish, like, trying to find our way through communication. Sometimes it's misunderstood. Sometimes we don't get to the point. Sometimes it's just like, we got to agree to disagree and just like, accept that we're not going to fully understand. But it's not, I don't think it's going to be anything like marsy to like as a arguing with like a Scorpio Mars per se. Like, you know what I mean? I don't know if I make sense, but
that does make sense. That does make sense. Yeah, thanks for sharing that. And the next transit that we're going to have here is March 18, Venus squaring Jupiter. So when you think about that one,
so we have the because what's happening is that we're also coming up to a new moon on the same day, in the evening. So I'll, I'll eventually get to that. But first and foremost, addressing the Venus square, Jupiter. So we have the ruler of this new moon Jupiter squaring off with the exaltation ruler of this new Moon, Venus. So both in cardinal signs, because Jupiter is in cancer and Venus is in Aries. So both of these signs, areas in cardinal, so there is initiation happening here.
Venus is good in fire. Blair, because she's willing to be honest, she's willing to take initiative, and she stays in the room when things get uncomfortable. Jupiter and cancer is good in water because he protects vulnerability, he encourages emotional generosity and builds containers for growth, so when they square, it can look like I care enough about this relationship to tell the truth, and it's tension that strengthens rather than deteriorates.
And Venus in Aries teaches us that how we show up for ourselves determines how we show up for others, and Jupiter and cancer reminds us that honesty is what makes care sustainable, and so when they So, what I was thinking as well is like in real life situations, love and relationships, for example, it could look like you initiating a difficult conversation rather than avoiding it. In the home and family, you take personal time out without guilt, and then you return more present. And then maybe in the work career situations, you could set a professional boundary, and people will then trust you more, not less.
So I think this transit is realizing that emotional security thrives when both people feel okay. I'm going to use this new aged word sovereign, but I just don't know how else to describe it. Any comments there on this transit before I move on to the new moon.
I'm just really loving this back and forth between, like, the Pisces and Aries energy, you know, like looking at at what the Zodiac looks like right now with this huge lineup all across Pisces and Aries, it's just like, like, the fire and water balancing as a way of getting things done, but in a way that's also integrated in in our deepest feelings and in our sense of right and and in our sense of like harmony and connection. Just feels really good for this month after all that craziness
in February. Totally Yeah, totally agree with you. Now the new moon that happens later on, on the 18th of March, we've got this new moon forming at the 28th degree of Pisces. So I think this new moon may be less about choosing between independence and connection, and more about discovering that your authenticity is what allows deeper security to form, like with that Venus square Jupiter.
Now I was looking at the moon as this web Weaver. And I know Adam has talked about the moon as a web Weaver in his past episodes on on his channel, and in the days before meeting the sun the moon, she gathers everything passing through mercury in the North Node, collecting truths that are trying to find their voice, moving over Mars, stirring courage and discomfort. She Trines Jupiter, receiving protection and meaning. She sextiles Uranus, awakening something unexpected. And then she meets the sun in the dark of Pisces, she's weaving it all.
And here I'm reminded of the words in my language, of my people that say that says, Ko au te awa, ko te awa ko au. I am the river, and the river is me. Pisces teaches us this truth, growth is not separate from us. We are not standing beside the current, watching life happen to us. We are the current, the courage, the care, the tension, the weaving.
So as this new moon seeds something new, you might ask yourself, if I am the river, what season of flow Am I in? And this is not like a blank beginning. It's a living one. So what you plant now is shaped by the current you're willing to become. That's my take on the new moon. If anyone wants to say anything there.
I loved it. I don't think I have anything to add that was beautiful, awesome.
And just quickly on the A couple days later on March the 20th, Mercury stations Direct. So you know, like, up until the March, the 20th, even at the New Moon on the march the 18th, Mercury is moving so slow, and it's on the North Node, and at the eighth degree of Pisces, I believe, and it's moving so slow that it stations. And I just think there's something happening here.
When Mercury stations Direct, the storyline is shifting directions. A misunderstanding begins to resolve, an internal dialog changes tone. And as astrologers, we like to speak of cycles, but better yet, we like to speak of cycles within cycles. And there is a small cycle happening here in the month of March.
So the early, earlier in the month, on the third when we had that lunar eclipse, I talked about a pause. And then we're moving on the seventh, Mercury has that Mercury has that cazimi With the sun, and there's a moment of clarity. And then when we get into the middle of the month, I call this the way finding, where we've got Mercury trining, Jupiter, we've got Mercury conjunct Mars. We're finding our way. And in leading up to the new moon, the moon weaves everything that the that mercury is just aspected.
So there is a magic that happens when the Dark Moon weaves all of these experiences, thoughts and feelings together and we sit with and come to accept the messiness of life like, let's face it, life is messy, and because the station occurs just before the equinox, the symbolism deepens. So we've got the station that still point. We've got the equinox. It's a balance of light and dark.
And I wanted to do something fun. It's only just going to take a minute, if you don't mind, it's walk you guys through some imagery. So if you if you want to close your eyes, go for it. If not, that's totally cool. And met. Imagine yourself in a quiet space, a safe space, completely still not moving a muscle, and yet inside everything is alive, energy pulses like a river unleashed after a storm, wild, unstoppable, kinetic, and at the same time, you are rooted, grounded, held by the earth beneath you, balanced perfectly on the edge between shadow and light, between the seen and the unseen. You can open your eyes now.
So this is the sensation of Mercury in pisces stationing direct on a new moon on the eve of an equinox when the day and night are equal. That's all I have for you guys.
Yeah, I loved it. It's so magical, like all of this happening at the moment, you know of Spring Equinox. It's, to me, feels like a very magical moment, a magical, auspicious transit.
Yeah, it's like there's a stillness. But when you stick with the stillness, everything is alive. It's like it just feels, you know, like there's a lot going on when you sit in the stillness, you know, yeah. So, yeah, yeah.
There's, there's a really palpable shift of energy, too, as we, as we pass over the the equinox, you know, the next transit we have. And I love this, this image of flow, of being a river too, because the next transit that we have here on March 21 is Mars in Pisces making that trine to Jupiter in Cancer, and Jupiter is direct. Now you're thinking about that flow like, what is flow, but river speak for power?
I was listening to an episode of the astrology podcast recently with Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. It's an older one on Pisces, but Austin was talking about this preponderance of martial artists who have Mars in Pisces. And I found this so interesting. I didn't actually know any of the people that he mentioned, but I did think about that famous Bruce Lee quote, if you know it, he says to be like water.
And I think So Bruce Lee doesn't have Mars in Pisces, but he does have Mars in Scorpio. And I think when we're dealing with Mars in water, there's this sense of inability to link your own agency to greater prevailing channels of power. Like, if you've seen those videos of the old Tai chi masters that are like gathering Qi, right? And then they push that really young guy who looks like he's built like a rock, and he goes flying. I don't know if you guys have seen these videos, but you can tell like if it were just his own willpower, it wouldn't work like that. It's his his ability to move with greater flows of energy and and in a frictionless way that lends him more power than what exists on his willpower alone.
And this is reflected in the fact that Jupiter is now moving direct through these Trines. This is the first Trine that takes place with Jupiter moving direct. I think we might be experiencing a really fluid movement between that place of Pisces and Cancer. Suddenly what was just sort of fermenting and ruminating is now coming into action and like full force, and I'm wondering how Mars might be helping Jupiter get something done, something that fulfills both Mars and Jupiter's agenda.
I'm thinking about initiating or severing relationships or habits that have a deep implication on our own sense of agency and in our sense of vitality as well, and how our agency and vitality ultimately impacts our ability to engage with the world in a rooted and connected and harmonious way.
Thank you. Courtney, yeah, that was great. Love.
It be like water, yes, the river flowing through us. We are the river. Yeah, that was great. Thanks.
Courtney, yeah, and the next one, march 22 we have Sun conjunct Neptune here. So Sun conjunct Neptune in Aries. So sun in Aries, it has, you know, started its journey in Aries. Here it is exalted. Here it means that the natural qualities of the sun, like vitality, purpose, leadership, you know, clarity of identity. It's very strong, radiant and confident. And it's maybe like a good, you know, peak time for purposeful action and life force, life force.
So this conjunction here, when the sun meets Neptune here, there is that it kind of feels like the radiant, heroic self of the Sun blends with the fluid, foggy energy of Neptune and identity and purpose can feel dissolved or uncertain, but there is also that increase in imagination and spiritual potential. It's a time maybe it's a time that maybe, like personal courage meets a visionary insight, or where action is inspired by ideals or dreams, rather than material reality. I think that's one of the shadow sides of sun and Neptune that there is great insights, but there is not enough. You know, material reality embedded into it.
And with this transit I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of maybe, like the shadow side of it can be scattered energy, maybe acting without clarity. So a few things that we may want to consider on this just transit is, you know, maybe we question, you know, the purpose, you know, goals or identity. Like, it's okay to take a moment and then pause and just ask ourselves, like, where am I? Where is my path? Where am I heading? And also, actions may feel a little bit less grounded, so it's okay to pause and ask, Where am I exactly going. It's a good time for that enhanced imagination. You know, creative, artistic. You know, insights can flow very strongly, but maybe need grounding to manifest.
And another thing to be mindful for is maybe that impulse toward escapism or avoidance with this transit, that tendency maybe to retreat into fantasy instead of just facing things and acting directly. Um. Okay, and also be mindful of maybe over estimate, over estimating, over estimating our your capacity, inflating your role, or confuse, and confusing, you know, idealism with reality overall.
I think it's a good time to check our path, our you know, like goal, if they are realistic, if they are balanced with practical steps, if they are idealistic. So it kind of feels like it's a good time to explore that visionary leadership or pioneering work in a way that it honors both, you know, initiative and compassionate you know, aspect of things. So that's what I have for this one. Do you like to add anything on that we'd like to know your thoughts?
I'm wondering how much Mars as the host of this conjunction and with that beneficial trine to Jupiter, how much he's actually able to see some of these visions come through right now.
Yeah, that's good one, yeah, yeah, yeah. And with that sign base, that sign base square as well, with the Aries and cancer, did you?
Yeah? Absolutely. I love that. Thank you. And the next one is March 25 which is Sun conjunct Saturn here. So I was thinking about this a lot before we got together to record, because I was thinking of a few people that I know who have a sun Saturn conjunction, and I'll get into it later in my thoughts here.
But, but sun in Aries, as I said, it's exalted. It's radiant self, you know, assertive, and it's a natural leader. It's courageous, you know, action oriented and and Saturn in Aries, it's not necessarily the most strong Saturn. You know, the disciplined energy is a little bit inhibited, and you know initiative is slowed, and you know assertiveness may meet resistance here a little bit.
So with these two meeting, I'm thinking of that radiant pioneer energy of the sun in Aries, meeting that restrictive influence of Saturn that can amplify responsibility, duty, structure that can weaken that natural confidence, you know, and positive courage, but, but a few things that we may, you know, be we may need to take into consideration under this transit is that, you know, we may feel like a little bit slower to act and take our time, because I think that's, that's the energy of sun Saturn here, you know, like, I'm going to take my time, and that's absolutely fine, kind of like a holding back energy and also feeling cautious. You may hesitate to take risks, you know that you normally would, you know, and and feel like your energy is like, a little bit like restricted and maybe feeling like small decisions are very important. You know, in like a normal situation, there aren't as this important as as important.
And also maybe feeling that calling to step into obligations, leadership roles or take charge of something new. This could be also a positive side of this transit. Then maybe you step into new responsibilities, you know, they could be leadership, things that you didn't have in the past.
And also another thing could be authority challenges with this transit. I'm thinking, I was thinking of the few people that I know with this transit, with this with this placement in Natal charts and and I have seen those authority challenges themes in their lives, you know, challenges with Saturnian figures. It could be father, it could be female figure. Or maybe that those encounters with cold, rigid or unsupportive, you know, maybe bosses father energies that demand a structure. You know, they don't give you much, but they demand restrictions.
But overall, with with with sun Saturn, one of the positive things about it is, I think there is an authenticity to it, and there is an integrity to it, because with sun Saturn, you know, there is that concern that what is the right thing to do, what is, you know, what virtue can I integrate into this action? Am I, you know, standing on the right side of things? So there's that awareness of modesty integrity and a need to cultivate authentic things with with boundaries. So that's what I have with this transit. And, yeah, what, what do you think about this?
It's beautiful. I just I love how many different delineations, how completely you build any particular transit. Sharzad, I feel like it gives really complete. I. A sense of like there's so many directions that any given can can embody. And to have it laid out like this, you get a very felt Gestalt sense of what the transits might bring with their completeness.
Thank you. And one more aspect of this transit just came to my mind is that this is a very good time with sun Saturn, is, you know, starting like a consistent effort that lead to tangible progress, even if it, if it, even if it feels slow or restrictive, just showing up, you know, for that, you know, practice or habit that you have so there is like moments of growth through a discipline with this transit too, in my opinion,
I love that when we think about the sun in its domicile, when it's in Leo, and Leo was a Fixed sign. So there's something about that fixity that the sun really appreciates. And then it's it's exalted in in Aries, the cardinal, the cardinal modality. It's like initiating something new, but then having that weight of Saturn on it being like, Hold on now. Like, do you really want to start that? Do you really want to do this? You know? But then it's like, if, if, if, if sun in Aries takes a moment to really think things through before doing the impulsive action, then that gets you further then just starting it with no thought in mind, no plan in place, right?
Yeah, thank you. Bianca. And on the last note for March, on March 30, we have Venus entering Taurus, which is nice, yeah. What do you think about that? Yeah, just, just letting you know that this is a day to where Venus, you know, becomes more comfortable after some time in Aries. So that's something to consider for Venusian things, you know, in projects, what
a great, great way to end the month. We started with a with Mars in Pisces and a lunar eclipse in Virgo, and then we end with something nice, like a benefic entering into the earthy domicile of Taurus. So that's really rounds off the month quite nicely.
