March 16 — March 22, 2026
Leo, this is the best week of March and honestly one of the best weeks of the first quarter. No, that is not hyperbole — the planetary lineup is genuinely exceptional. Let me walk you through it. We start mid-week with a New Moon at 28°26' Pisces in your 8th house on Wednesday, March 18th — the last new moon before the astrological new year, in the sign of completion and surrender, in your house of transformation and rebirth. You're being asked to set an intention about what you're letting go of and what you're being reborn into. This is deep, rich, powerful energy for Leos willing to engage with it. 🌑
Then Friday, March 20th, delivers a cosmic double header: the Sun enters Aries (Spring Equinox) AND Mercury stations direct at 10° Pisces simultaneously. The Equinox marks the beginning of the astrological new year — Aries is the first sign, 0° Aries is the ground zero of the zodiac. The Sun entering Aries hits your 9th house of expansion, travel, publishing, higher learning, and big-picture vision. The astrological new year begins in your house of abundance and expansion. That is a genuinely excellent sign. And Mercury going direct means the retrograde fog that's been muddying communications and decisions since February 26th LIFTS. You can now sign the contract, launch the thing, have the conversation you've been delaying. 🎯
Saturday brings Mars trine Jupiter at 15° Pisces–Cancer — fire trine water, your 8th house of transformation linking harmoniously to your 12th house of dreams and spiritual backing. This is one of the best financial and abundance aspects of the entire month. Mars in your 8th house making a trine to Jupiter in your 12th means action around shared resources, transformation, or deep investment is supported by hidden blessings and spiritual abundance. What you've been building in private since Jupiter went retrograde in October? Today it starts paying out. 💰
And then Sunday, March 22nd: Sun conjunct Neptune at 1°51' Aries (Neptune Cazimi) in your 9th house. The Sun illuminates Neptune — the planet of dreams, spirituality, and boundless vision — at 1° Aries, right at the dawn of the new astrological year. This is a moment of rare spiritual clarity about your biggest dreams. What do you actually want your life to expand into? What belief, vision, or calling have you been afraid to fully claim? The Neptune cazimi gives you a window where the vision becomes real enough to touch. Leo, write it down. It's coming. 👑
This is a peak romantic and emotional week. Wednesday's New Moon in your 8th house of deep intimacy sets intentions about the depth of connection you want in your life — not the surface stuff, but the real, honest, raw intimacy that only Leos know they crave under all that confidence. Tuesday's Mercury conjunct North Node in the same house brings a fated conversation or message in a relationship that changes something. Sunday's Neptune cazimi in your 9th house is otherworldly for love — there's a spiritual, transcendent quality to connections this week that makes everything feel bigger and more meaningful. For coupled Leos, a deepening. For single Leos, a vision of what you truly want. Both are wins. ❤️
Mercury going direct on Friday is the career news of the week. Everything that has been stalled, foggy, or in "wait and see" mode since February 26th can now move. Send the pitch. Sign the contract. Make the announcement. Launch the project. The Sun entering Aries in your 9th house opens a new chapter around publishing, teaching, international reach, and big-picture professional vision — the astrological new year begins in your expansion house. Saturday's Taurus Moon activating your 10th house of career and public reputation means the weekend carries significant energy for your professional visibility. What you put out into the world this weekend has good cosmic weather. 🚀
Saturday's Mars trine Jupiter in your 8th–12th house axis is the best money aspect of the month. Mars in your 8th house rules shared finances, investments, and financial transformation. Jupiter in your 12th house rules hidden abundance and spiritual backing. When these two make a trine, money that has been building behind the scenes starts flowing into visible form. This could be: an investment paying off, a financial partnership becoming more lucrative, a shared resource situation that suddenly opens up, or simply the financial reward for the deep transformation work you've been doing since the February eclipse. Wednesday's New Moon also invites you to set a powerful intention about financial release and renewal — what old money story or pattern are you done with? Declare it under the new moon. 💸
The New Moon in Pisces on Wednesday is a powerful moment for emotional and spiritual wellness practices — this is a natural time to release, cleanse, and reset. The transition from Pisces season (deep, introspective, spiritual) to Aries season (fire, action, new beginnings) happens Friday with the Equinox, and you may physically feel the shift. Early week: rest, process, meditate, let things complete. Friday through Sunday: energy surges, action becomes possible, the fog is genuinely gone. Honor both phases rather than forcing Aries energy before it's ready. Sunday's Neptune cazimi in your 9th house is a spiritual wellness day of the highest order — time in nature, breathwork, a spiritual practice, anything that expands your sense of what's possible. 🌿
On Friday March 20th, do two things: First, the moment Mercury goes direct, identify the ONE thing you've been holding off on since the retrograde started on February 26th — send it, sign it, launch it, say it. Mercury direct means the path is clear. Second, at the Spring Equinox (Sun enters Aries), write one sentence about what you want to expand into in this new astrological year. Not goals. Not a plan. Just a direction. Your 9th house is being lit up for the next 30 days — know what you're pointing yourself toward. The universe gives you Aries season. You tell it where to aim. ✨
The astrological new year is fully underway. Sun in Aries in your 9th house is Leo's season of publishing, travel, and bold visions made real. Mercury is direct, Jupiter is direct, and the planets are building toward a Full Moon in Libra that activates your 3rd house of communication and ideas. 🌙
