Weekly Horoscope, March 1-7, 2026:

Here we are with a new week, a new month, and considerable new movement in the cosmos. The lunar eclipse in Virgo, the entry of Mars into Pisces and Venus into Aries, Mercury retrograde drawing close to the Sun, and the coming together of Venus and Neptune—these transits spark movement in the unseen aspects of self. This is the kind of movement that offers release, the kind of letting go that brings us closer to ourselves, the kind of clearing that allows inspiration, creativity, and authenticity to come through us. Your weekly horoscope for March 1-7, 2026, explains that the movement this week is as much inward as it is outward.

Mars Enters Pisces

After spending weeks in the air sign of Aquarius, Mars shifts into the water sign of Pisces on March 2, 2026. Here it creates a potential paradox as well as a potent partnership.

In astrology, Mars represents our will to act. Our ability to take initiative. Our willingness to assert ourselves in pursuit of our desires. As it shifts through the zodiac signs, it shifts the ways we initiate movement and express courage. Under the influence of the intuitive sign of Pisces, Mars doesn’t dim itself. Rather, it reorients itself.

Here forward movement becomes driven by emotion rather than intellect, intuition rather than strategy. The emphasis is not on assertion but meaning, compassion, inspiration, and attunement. Mars in Pisces invites us to move through the world with sensitivity, imagination, and subtle awareness. It’s as if our action taking becomes informed by access to an undefined knowing, truth, and guidance. This is a time when we turn our focus inward before we express it outward. It’s a reminder that not all momentum is outward facing or measurable.

Total Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon in Virgo

Our second eclipse of the year takes place in Virgo on March 3, 2026. Eclipses always sing more loudly than the usual monthly lunations. They represent illumination of what we have always known and that are finally ready to be brought into awareness.

This total lunar eclipse with the Sun in Pisces and the Moon in Virgo brings release and closure. Pisces reminds us that we are worthy of belonging, we are sacred, and we are love in action. With this remembering, Virgo releases each layer within us that has forgotten these truths. It is a reminder that surrender into the vastness of life isn’t the dissolution of self but the clarification of self. The self is not fixed. It is a continual refinement and sacred unfolding of becoming.

Venus Enters Aries

The planet of love and beauty shifts the final sign of the zodiac into the first on March 6, 2026. Think of each planets as an archetypal energy and each sign of the zodiac as a filter that shapes the style and tone of each planet’s expression.

Venus is love and beauty, connection and values. Aries is bold and active, confident and passionate. Venus expressed through Aries becomes confidence embodied, passionate love, and bold self-worth. In Aries, our Venusian love wants to be expressed directly, passionately, and actively. Venus ignites creativity through tapping into our personal desires, passions, excitements, and visions.

As Venus crosses the threshold from Pisces into Aries, our inspiration ignites, desires increase, and love turns courageous. It’s an invitation to embody more of ourselves and let our desires lead. It is a space to express our love and reconnect with what brings us to life.

Mercury Retrograde Cazimi

Not long after Mercury began its backward spin last week, it comes into a direct meeting with the Sun on March 7, 2026. The conjunction of Mercury and the Sun in the same sign is also known as a cazimi.

Mercury retrograde in Pisces invites a review of what lives within our minds and how we relate to information, memory, imagination, and possibility. When it meets the Sun in a cazimi during this review, it’s as if the mind becomes open to vaster illuminations. Revelations and messages from our unconscious filter through to our awareness. Inspiration speaks. Intuition heightens. It’s a day for journalling, contemplation, meditation, and active imagination. Ask questions, allow space for confusion, wonder about the vastness of life, and consider all the different worlds within you.

Venus Conjunct Neptune

An era-defining cosmic movement occurred earlier this year when the outer planet of Neptune shifted into Aries. A slow-moving planet, Neptune still sits at the entry of the Mars-ruled sign, meaning any other planet that enters Aries also encounters Neptune. That happens on March 7, 2026, as Venus transits into Aries.

When two planets form a conjunction—or, put simply, sit in almost the same position in the same zodiac sign—their energies merge. It’s almost as if they become an entirely different planet together. Venus is attraction, love, beauty, harmony and self-worth. Neptune is inspiration, imagination, oneness, and mysticism. Combined they spark self-worth, imagination, and the embodiment of oneness and beauty.

Expressing themselves through the field of Aries, these planets in conjunction speak through our personal desires. Continue journaling, contemplating, imagining, and considering. The ideas that spark you speak with purpose and healing. Let your excitements guide you. The inspirations flowing through your mind bring potential and intention.

Weekly Horoscope, March 1-7, 2026

The cosmic movements this week reverberate in ways that support feeling receptive, emotional, energetic and self-clarifying. Mars in Pisces reconnects us to our natural energetic flow. The Virgo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse heals the layers of us that have forgotten our truth. Venus in Aries ignites self-love. Mercury retrograde cazimi opens our minds. And Venus conjunct Neptune incurs inspiration and possibility.

These transits return you to yourself, or at least, that is what is on offer. Your weekly horoscope helps you understand how to accept that. Read for your rising sign.

Aries Rising

Your body is your compass this week. Listen to how it wants to move. Listen to when it needs to rest, whatever that looks like for you. As your intuition heightens, stay aware of the need to create space for clearing the mind and being silence. A new chapter of self is expressing itself through you. This is  an important moment in your becoming. Consider it as such.

Taurus Rising 

Tap into your inspiration this week. Let it become brighter than all previous patterns of hiding, contorting, self-abandonment or dimming. Let it be so prominent that it overtakes any previous patterns and thought processes related to productivity and timing. Let it flow unrestrained and free, clearing all that is ready to fall away.

Gemini Rising

Don’t be afraid to feel. Don’t be afraid to visit the many layers within. This week invites release. Don’t be afraid to say no to all that exists within that no longer holds truth for you. You are saying yes to what is real.

Cancer Rising

There’s a clearing of old mental chatter that never truly belonged to you. There’s also a remembering of your self-authority. Let this week inspire revelation and ideas that help you understand your personal truth, which arises only through living, not through other voices.

Virgo Rising

It’s your week. A lunar eclipse in your sign mirrors your readiness for a return to self. Not the self that you inherited or absorbed from the world around you. The self that has always been there underneath it all. The self that has always been waiting for you to claim it.

Libra Rising

Ease your pace this week. Let yourself be guided by a reconnection with love in all its forms. Let yourself feel restored by a reconnection with the larger sense of oneness to which you can always return.

Sagittarius Rising

As you look ahead, allow more space in your vision. This week ignites creativity, asks for bold expression, and invites greater awareness of all that exists within. There is more wanting to be seen, even if it requires a moment of uncertainty. Let what no longer feels true sit to the side.

Capricorn Rising

This week arrives with the intention of clearing everyone else’s voice from your mind, Capricorn Rising – every idea, philosophy, belief that has shaped your living that was never yours. It inspires new ways to think through intuition and feeling, and it invites a reconnection with your emotional world so that you may feel at home within yourself again.

Aquarius Rising

Observe the layers of you wanting to take up more space this week. You are becoming. It’s a week of release, a clearing of old relational patterns that no longer serve, and a review of your self-concept. Ask yourself, does your idea of yourself still feel true?
