March 9th - 15th, 2026
The astrology for this week of March 9th through the 15th of 2026 places many of us in a noticeable “spring fever” mood. The increasing light of day, the lengthening afternoons, and the subtle shift in seasonal energy can make us feel as though life is stirring again. We may feel good, look good, and carry an upbeat, hopeful disposition even if the world around us appears uncertain
Yet we remain under the influence of Mercury retrograde, where the familiar rule of Murphy’s Law — “whatever can go wrong could go wrong” — continues to operate. Miscommunications, delays, and revisions remain part of the landscape.
Even so, the atmosphere is changing. We may not yet be fully out of the winter woods, but the instinctive knowing that spring is near is becoming stronger.
There are still matters from the past to address — unresolved issues, unfinished business, and remnants of earlier cycles. These weeks are part of the great clearing process, preparing us for the moment later this spring when conditions open and the technological revolution and new societal patterns become far more evident.
The future may have been delayed, but it will not be denied.
Early in the week optimism rises. Even if the news cycle proclaims disaster, many people may simply refuse to buy into the gloom. Signs of renewal and rebirth are too visible.
The major astrological turning point comes when Jupiter turns direct, ending its four-month retrograde cycle. The heaviness many people felt since autumn begins to lift. Hope returns.
Toward the end of the week, enthusiasm may briefly encounter obstacles, reminding us once again that progress in these volatile times is rarely linear. When blocked, we may need to go around, over, or under obstacles — or simply wait for the energy to shift.
By the weekend, social energy rises. The lengthening daylight encourages us to stay out later, reconnect with friends, and celebrate the simple pleasure of being alive.
The future awaits.
Monday, March 9 – Spreading Our Wings – Uranus, Moon Void-of-Course, Neptune, Saturn, Venus, Pluto, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter. Monday has the Moon completing its transit of Scorpio with the Scorpio Moon opposed Uranus. The Moon then goes Void-of-Course for four hours [7:28 AM EDT – 11:37 AM EDT] as the Moon finishes its transit of Scorpio without making further connections to the planets and before the Moon enters Sagittarius where today the Moon trines the three Aries-transiting planets of Neptune, Saturn, and Venus, and the Moon sextiles Pluto, before the Moon squares Mars to end the day. Mercury trines Jupiter. This Monday amplifies the two Stelliums – one in Pisces, the other in Aries.

Weekly Closing Reflection
This week carries the unmistakable scent of spring approaching.
Though Mercury retrograde continues to complicate details, Jupiter turning direct lifts the collective spirit. The heaviness of recent months begins to dissolve.
Momentum returns gradually. Progress may still encounter obstacles, but we are learning that forward movement does not always require a straight line.
Sometimes we advance by adapting, improvising, or simply waiting for the right moment.
Above all, this week reminds us of something essential:
The seasons of life continue to turn.
Light grows stronger.
Hope rises again.
And with each passing day, the promise of renewal comes closer into view.
