Pisces Horoscope for March 2026

This is yet another month, Pisces, of outer planet involvement with the lunation configurations that guide its progress, in this case encompassing two eclipses, the previous late Aquarius eclipse New Moon of mid-February and the subsequent Virgo Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse of early March, taking place on the 3rd. With the New Moon eclipse before March began, whose thirty-day lunation cycle extends into the first two and a half weeks of the current month, this was also the timing of the nearly exact collision at 0° Aries of the limitations of Saturn with your ruler Neptune, where the limited and boundary-filled senex archetype, that of Saturn, meets the boundary-less and otherworldly transpersonal archetype of Neptune, creating a degree of ideological division as exemplified in the collocative, especially here in the US, and also in your individual psyche. For members of your sign, this landed in your second sector of resources and values, including finances, all of which might suffer from idealism or downright illusion, or the freedom from illusion found in the too, too, solid circumstance of the human condition. There are also highlighted archetypal presences of Uranus and Pluto in this recent New Moon eclipse, leading you into deep-seated transformation, and the retrograde of Mercury through your sign, lasting all month when you take the wo-week post-retrograde shadow period into account. This is therefore an introspective and a self-reflective time for you as you question pretty much everything including the foundations of your very identity. There is also a cosmic mandate that the principles and values that are yours and yours alone are an important focus now; and it is important that those that you most deeply espouse be independent of the influence of consensus thinking or early conditioning. The March 3rd Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in your sign brings up issues of self and other, and of honoring your key relationships and the role that they play in helping you to evolve along the lines that you were designed to follow. This is no easy thing to manifest, of course, and yet it is also vital that you do so, making some degree of progress, as you can, over the course of these difficult and yet rewarding months. The final two weeks of March are heralded by the New Moon in your sign of the 18th and the subsequent Aries Equinox of the 20th, when Mercury also stations to direct motion, to slowly recover over the following weeks, into April.
