March Astrology Forecast 2026
2/27/20262 hr 44 min
In episode 526 of The Astrology Podcast we look ahead at the astrological forecast for March of 2026, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. We are coming off the heels of some incredibly momentous planetary alignments, so we spend the first half of the episode doing a deep dive into recent news events to see how the astrology has been manifesting before transitioning into our breakdown of the transits for the month ahead. In the news segment, we explore the impact of the exact Saturn-Neptune conjunction, particularly how it has been revealing things that were previously concealed, most notably with the release of the Epstein files. We also discuss how the recent eclipse magnified Pluto's transit through Aquarius, accelerating themes around AI agents, humanoid robotics, and discussions of extraterrestrial life. Finally we note the astrology surrounding the very serious geopolitical escalations currently unfolding with Iran. As we move into the forecast for March, we find ourselves still deep in the heart of eclipse season, navigating a total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo that is heavily colored by a number of overlapping alignments. We break down the challenges of a particularly debilitating Mercury retrograde in Pisces, the reality-distorting effects of the inner planets crossing the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries, and how Jupiter stationing direct in Cancer might offer some helpful silver linings and protective intercessions during an otherwise volatile month. Finally, we highlight a few windows of opportunity amidst the chaos, including a very positive Mars-Jupiter trine that forms the basis of our best electional chart of the month.

Hey, my name is Chris Brennan, and you're listening to The Astrology Podcast. Joining me today is astrologer Austin Coppock, and we're gonna be talking about the astrological forecast for March of 2026. Hey, Austin. Welcome back.

Hey, Chris.

Hey. All right, so, uh, we're gonna do a... We're gonna spend the first hour of this episode looking back at news and events that have happened over the past month since our last forecast and giving an astrological take on those news stories. Then in the second hour we're gonna transition into doing a deep dive into the astrology of March. So as always, if you wanna jump ahead, there'll be timestamps in the description below this video on YouTube or on the podcast website. Before we get into the news section, I wanna do a quick overview of the astrology of March. All right, so here is the planetary alignments calendar that shows all the major lunations and ingresses and stations and aspects this month. We open the month, um, we're coming out of a few things. We're coming out of an eclipse in Aquarius, uh, Mars squaring Uranus at the end of, of February, which is still gonna be in effect in early March, a Mercury retrograde that just started. So there's a bunch of trail-over things from late February that are trailing into early March. But in terms of the events this month, uh, the first one is that Mars moves into Pisces on the 2nd of March. Then the very next day we get a major, very significant, uh, lunar eclipse in the sign of Virgo on March 3rd. Later that week, Venus moves into the sign of Aries on the 6th.
