Void of Course Dates this Month

On March 3rd, a Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse occurs in the sign of Virgo. It brings sudden awareness to our lives, particularly of areas that require more order. Something is exposed or illuminated, prompting us to get in touch with those things that we may have been neglecting or putting off, especially regarding our work, services, habits, health, and routines.
This eclipse is the fifth of a set of seven occurring along the Virgo-Pisces axis from September 17th, 2024, to February 20th, 2027. While we’ve been focusing on building our faith, this March eclipse in Virgo prompts us to consider getting organized and how it affects the work-rest balance.
This total Lunar Eclipse urges us to strike a balance between work and service, practicality and impracticality, criticism and acceptance. It’s about awakening to the need to enjoy more order in our lives. This is an eyes-wide-open time for our work, habits, health, and routines. We are likely to receive strong messages from our intuition regarding our next move along these lines. Emotions, feelings, and revelations in the weeks following this eclipse are pivotal. This is a rewarding Full Moon eclipse, ripe with possibilities and learning experiences. However, it can take some time before we get the whole picture. Read more about this Lunar Eclipse on its calendar page.
On March 10th, Jupiter stations and turns direct, after retrograde motion since November 11th, 2025. This change of direction can mark a turning of the corner for certain projects and relationships. It’s also about our outlook and attitude–we experience increasing enthusiasm as we advance. With Jupiter direct, our confidence in ourselves, our beliefs, and the universe is building. We are more lighthearted and ready to share ourselves and what we’ve learned with others. Our dreams and goals are in focus, and they’re moving along! Read more about this station on its calendar page.
On March 18th, the New Moon in Pisces prompts a new beginning–we’re starting fresh. We awaken to the need for a spiritual vision or more magic in our lives. It’s time to revitalize ourselves through experiences that require imagination, compassion, gentleness, or that simply represent a “break” from the routine. We may put something behind us in order to begin anew. It’s very focused and concentrated, which can help or hinder us. Fortunately, this New Moon’s harmony with Uranus via a tight sextile points to inspiration and belief in progress. Read more about this New Moon on its calendar page.
On March 20th, Mercury stations and turns direct, after retrograde motion since February 26th. With Mercury retrograde in Pisces, we’ve been returning to past projects and refining or tweaking them. We may have found usefulness in old or past ideas and recycled them in new ways. Fortunately, tapping into our inner muse and coming up with especially inventive ideas has been a theme. Now, information unclogs. Read more about this station on its calendar page.
On March 28th, Saturn is sextile Pluto, and this is a standalone transit signaling the potential for constructive change. It can be a good time to dedicate ourselves to self-understanding, research, or counseling. Developing self-discipline can be rewarding and worthwhile. Narrowing our focus to a particular pursuit can be beneficial, as it allows us to apply ourselves and prioritize effectively. It’s also a strong time for reforming social and political systems. Making the most of things is a strong theme. We can be more resourceful and good at preparing for our future. Particularly if this transit accents our natal charts well, this can be a good time for cutting out bad habits and reforming our everyday routines. Setting new and improved goals can be in the spotlight… Read more about this transit on its calendar page.

Horoscopes for the Month
Void of Course Dates this Month

On February 1st, a Full Moon occurs in the sign of Leo. This lunation reminds us of needs we may have been putting to the side–there can be an urgent or sudden need/desire to express ourselves around this lunation. We are more powerfully aware of our creative, romantic, and expressive urges.
Something is exposed or illuminated, prompting us to get in touch with those things in our personal lives that we may have been neglecting or putting off. This Leo Moon is proud and intensely individual. Read more about this Full Moon on its calendar page.
On February 3rd, Uranus stations and turns direct, after retrograde motion since September 6th. As Uranus gains speed in the coming weeks, our urge to express ourselves uniquely, to take some chances or risks, to rebel, to listen to our own instincts, and to stir up change are re-awakened. We begin to see clearly that we can make changes — that we are not always victims of changes thrust upon us. Read more about this transit on its calendar page.
On February 13th, Saturn enters Aries. Saturn was in Aries from May 24th to September 1st, 2025, returned to Pisces in retrograde motion, and is now back in Aries to stay: from February 13, 2026, to April 12th, 2028.
While Saturn is in Aries, we may initially experience frustration when pursuing our individual goals. We can feel uncomfortable with big shows of individuality or me-centered behavior while Saturn is in Aries. However, this period also presents a unique opportunity for personal growth. As we learn to balance our individual needs with collective responsibilities, we can overcome this discomfort. By recognizing the necessity for this balanced attention, we can expand our potential for personal development. Otherwise, we might inadvertently limit ourselves. Read more about this transit on its calendar page, or on our Saturn in Aries full article.
On February 17th, the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius prompts a new beginning. This lunation is a Solar Eclipse, and it’s the first in a set of eclipses that fall along the Leo-Aquarius sign axis–from February 2026 to January 2028.
In the sign of Aquarius, this eclipse is about friendship, fellowship, group activities, social pursuits, group projects, trying something new, humanitarian efforts, or joining a group. This New Moon eclipse might challenge these matters and present opportunities for new beginnings. Long-term changes are in the works! Read more about this New Moon on its calendar page.
On February 20th, Saturn is conjunct Neptune, and this is a standalone transit. A Saturn-Neptune conjunction marks a time when our ideals are put to the test. Circumstances are such that we need to rebuild trust and faith. This transit marries two very different energies, the dreamer and the realist. Bringing plans and dreams to reality can be one manifestation. Practical idealism is within reach, and we might dedicate ourselves to a particular ideal, vision, or goal… Read more about this transit on its calendar page.
On February 26th, Mercury stations and turns retrograde, and it will continue its retrograde journey until March 20th. Some delays or information clogs are possible. With Mercury retrograde in Pisces for the whole cycle, we may be returning to past projects and refining or tweaking them. We can find usefulness in old or past ideas and recycle them in new ways. We might consider scrapping a need for closure on a particular matter, for example, recognizing that the best closure sometimes involves accepting that there isn’t closure! We can be especially spacey when it comes to facts and figures. Convoluted directions and instructions can be a problem. However, we may be more able to tap into our inner muse and come up with especially inventive ideas… Read more about this transit on its calendar page.
