MARCH 2026: BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE, PLUS THE RAPTURE
A mysterious mercury retrograde'd month weaves us into the Spring like forgetting why we walked into a room. Mercury in Pisces plays hide and seek with the facts and so lean into your instincts. Don't force anything, move with what feels right...even if it doesn't make sense on paper.
Support is standing by from Jupiter in Cancer as it stations direct March 10th, potentially counteracting a lot of chaos. Though, if you find yourself flustered around March 14th, it may be because Mercury and Mars are coughing into each other's faces. Take care of your health and also your temper, unnecessary arguments may get kicked up due to mis-interpretations. Take a beat to ask: am I barking up the wrong tree?
Tricky decisions may find their necessary route when Mercury stations direct on the 20th/21st, the same day as the Aries Equinox! A vaporous re-set for the Sun as it smashes into Neptune, illuminating themes of the famous Saturn/Neptune in Aries combo. When the Sun was in Libra, opposite Neptune/Saturn last year, a widespread rumor that the rapture was coming...duped and disappointed many willing believers. Assuming the world will continue to forge its way through this globally stressful time, how might you lean into your own mini-rapture and find closure around the past, to dissolve the limitations and fears that are making your future small. Take this retrograde to remember a forgotten life force that needs to be resurrected. By the end of the month, the bones of a new chapter will begin to sit upright.

AUSPICIOUS DAYS
If you're needing to start something this month, send an important email, have that event or launch that whatever, here are my top three auspicious days, all are Cancer rising times for taking advantage of Jupiter in Cancer direct:
March 21st is strangely special. Mercury will have stationed direct, Moon is strong in Taurus. Mars is powerfully aspecting Jupiter. Make it happen around 12:57PM Pacific Cancer rising. Good for a community gathering or asking for something you want. Mercury is still gaining traction forward and so results may have a slow start. It also screams "just take action, don't try to explain or overthink."
March 26th is sweet and spicy. Venus is in aspect to Jupiter. The Moon in Cancer is pulling creative impulses from Mars. Venus is next to Chiron making this a wound-clearing day. Any arguments that came up during the Mercury retrograde may benefit from todays assertive heart-truths. A good day to express your needs and wants compassionately. Set the clock for 12:38pm pacific.
March 28th is a fun Saturday, go dancing, wear something kooky, go see live theater. Moon is in Leo coming into a trine with Venus in Aries. A time to be expressive or show off something unique you've been working on. Try 12:30pm Pacific Cancer rising for that Jupiter hot spot.
Test these dates out, tell me how it goes !
