In the Stars March 22-29, 2026 . . . Shining Light on the Astrology of the Week

The Sun is now in Aries, beginning the Spring season and a new zodiacal year. Neptune, Saturn, Venus, and Chiron are in Aries along with the Sun. This is a lot of fiery, impulsive energy, likely to trigger more aggressive action. However, the ruler of Aries is Mars, and Mars is in dreamy, flowing Pisces, slowing and inhibiting Mars’ impulsive tendencies.
Mercury is now direct, though it will be in its shadow until April 9, meaning that there will be some lingering qualities of retrograde Mercury until then when Mercury moves past the degree it went retrograde. Communications now will begin to clear, but there still could be mix-ups and also some re-considering and revising during the shadow period. All planets are now in direct motion until May 5 when Pluto turns retrograde.
Mercury and Mars are in Pisces, Mars until April 9 and Mercury until April 16. These planets invite active imagination. It is a good time to draw, and write, and to honor your intuition.

Moon Void of Course: This is the time when the Moon makes its last major angular aspect with a planet before it moves into the next zodiacal sign tropically. This void time, when the Moon is not aspecting a planet, but rather floating on its own, is a time when things don’t come together and it is difficult to make good decisions. Purchases made during void Moons often turn out to be unsatisfactory and not work out. Appointments often don’t come together, and meetings don’t result in progress or sound, lasting decisions. We more easily get lost or meander in trying to get somewhere. The VoC Moon times for the next month are listed below so that you can plan meetings, decisions, and purchases at times when the Moon is not VoC; and use the void times for gardening, reading, and routine task work.
