General for Week Commencing: Monday 02 March 2026

	Aries	Monday 02 March 2026	Mar 21 - Apr 19
There is a lot of activity in the heavens this week. As well as Venus and Mars both on the move, we have a total lunar eclipse and while Jupiter has reached his last and Mercury his first full week in retrograde motion. The return of Mars to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart on Tuesday and Venus’ final days before leaving here and returning to Aries on Friday will overlap. With Mercury in his first full week in retrograde motion here and the Sun always spending the first three weeks of March here, as your current solar draws to a close time to hear yourself think becomes more important. As it is right in the heart of the working week that as an eclipsing Full Moon, the Moon’s return to your work sector is going to energise things across the income, work and career fronts, this will make knowing when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off all the more important.

	Taurus	Monday 02 March 2026	Apr 20 - May 20
While the Moon’s return on Tuesday will see it move through a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart in the heart of the working week, the timing couldn’t be better. While as an ordinary monthly visit, this might have seen the Moon struggle to get your attention at what can be the busiest point in the week, as an eclipsing Full Moon and with help from forces already active on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence, this will be a lot more potent. However, what makes the timing of the Moon’s return from Tuesday to Thursday significant is that it will return just as Mars is leaving your career sector and there is a chance to take your foot off the gas. This won’t see things go off the boil and the Moon’s return to your work sector from Thursday to Saturday will be a chance to regroup, but this is when the push to get this new professional year will end and it will then become more about the journey.

	Gemini	Monday 02 March 2026	May 21 - Jun 21
While the Moon is only passing through and will be gone by Tuesday, starting the week with the Moon in your communication sector is a chance to begin the week with the communication lines open. Having come full circle from last month’s Full Moon, this can be a chance to finish, complete or go back to what was started then and can lead to resolutions. Meanwhile, the Moon will continue to play an active role this week and by Tuesday will not only go on to return to your home and family sector, but as a Full Moon, this is going to energise things on the home, family and/or property fronts. This is something that is going to get pushback from the other side of life’s fence and just as Mars’ return to your career sector on Tuesday is going to fire things up professionally. The Sun will always spend the first three weeks of March in your career sector and this is a Full Moon that at some point during his month long visit, is going to put your work/life balance to the test. With things taking a busier turn, this is the right reminder at the right time.

	Cancer	Monday 02 March 2026	Jun 22 - Jul 22
It was back in January that within the space of just five days the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars all returned to your financial sector, all of a sudden firing up this financial year. While the Sun, Mercury and Venus all left last month, not before giving you everything needed to navigate the early months of this new financial year. As you move into the new week Mars is still here, but only just, with the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos leaving on Tuesday, not to return for another two years. While having the Moon in your income sector until leaving on Tuesday could create some competition or even friction between the two, while Mars will use this to fire up your financial passions and fighting spirit, the Moon’s friendly aspect to all five planets in your career sector can turn this into motivation on both sides of the financial fence. Meanwhile, this will see Mars catch up with the Sun, Venus and Mercury again, this time in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery.

	Leo	Monday 02 March 2026	Jul 23 - Aug 22
In what is a very active week in the heavens, with Venus and Mercury both on the move, a total lunar eclipse, Mercury in his first and Jupiter his last full week in retrograde motion, beginning the week with the Moon in Leo will be an advantage. While the Moon will leave on Tuesday, being able to start any week and especially this one with your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground while emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware from the start, will always be an advantage. Especially when it comes to managing a week that is going to play host to Mars’ shift in focus from your relationships and onto money matters on Tuesday, just before on Friday, Venus will shift her focus from money matters and onto the adventurous side of life’s fence. It is just as things are powering up financially that on Tuesday, the Moon will not only return to your income sector but as an eclipsing Full Moon. As well as energising both sides of the financial fence, this can act as a trigger or catalyst for things already ripe with potential across the income, work and career fronts.

	Virgo	Monday 02 March 2026	Aug 23 - Sep 22
When you have a busy week in the heavens like you do this week, it is not only important to take things one step at a time, but to become comfortable staying in the moment. This is especially the case with Mars, who until leaving your work sector on Tuesday and then not returning again for another two years, will be working to pack as much into his final hours as possible. Monday is likely to be a busy and even frenetic day on the job front or with whatever it is that keeps you busy and occupies your time. However, while Pluto will stay on, once Mars leaves it won’t stay that way, making it important to use this energy to get things done, but without thinking that you have to maintain that pace. It is on Tuesday that Mars will not only join the Sun, Venus and Mercury in your relationship sector, but just as an eclipsing Full Moon in Virgo is putting a balance between your own and your relationship needs to the test.

	Libra	Monday 02 March 2026	Sep 23 - Oct 23
Even if Tuesday’s eclipsing Full Moon wasn’t about to put how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off to the test, in his last full day in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart on Monday, Mars was always going to make it easier to keep it off. Knowing that his return will not only kick off what can be the busiest six weeks of any year, but with things already locked and loaded here and Jupiter’s direct turn in your career sector next week will see this professional year power up even more, is giving Mars extra incentive. Mars is a planet that has to have something to fight for and knowing that from Tuesday he will be fighting to get the busy side of life’s fence up to speed, the more you can engage in his fight on Monday for a balance between work and play the better. Meanwhile, Mars will just be settling into your work sector when on Friday, Venus not only leaves but shifts her focus onto your relationships.

	Scorpio	Monday 02 March 2026	Oct 24 - Nov 21
While the Moon will be gone by Tuesday, beginning the week in your career sector is more than just a chance to move into the new working week with your professional instincts sharp, finger on the pulse and ear to the ground from the start. It is the Moon’s friendly aspect to all five planets in your work sector as it moves through that is significant and especially as there are some big changes taking place. It was just over a month ago that Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams returned to spend the next 13 years in your work sector just last month that Saturn returned to spend the next two years giving you the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. These are planets playing a long game, while here for just 24 days, when she returns on Friday, Venus will want things to happen now. Until then, Venus’ final days in a playful and creative part of your chart has the kind of support that will make it easy to find the right balance between work and play and for some future proofing.

	Sagittarius	Monday 02 March 2026	Nov 22 - Dec 21
While the Moon will leave your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery on Tuesday, Monday’s adventurous lunar vibes might just be the key that can help you manage the rest of the week. While there are no planets here and this is a fleeting monthly visit, a friendly aspect to the five planets already in a playful and creative part of your chart will put a heavy lean on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence. This might create a case of Mondayitis, but with it, a chance for some future proofing. It is from Tuesday to Thursday that an eclipsing Full Moon is going to sweep through, energising things across the income, work and career fronts while at the same time, getting pushback from the Sun when it comes to your work/life balance. The more you can use Monday’s adventurous lunar vibes to put some guardrails in place the better.

	Capricorn	Monday 02 March 2026	Dec 22 - Jan 19
As much as there could be some intensity and even friction on both sides of the financial fence on Monday, the timing couldn’t be better. The week begins with the Moon in your financial sector and while an ordinary monthly visit and something that will allow you to move into the new week with your financial instincts sharp, finger on the pulse and ear to the ground from the start, it is in competition with Mars, just as he has reached his last full day in your income sector. Leaving within two hours of each other on Tuesday and clashing just before they leave, as the Moon and Mars compete for your attention, this is going to raise the bar and energise things on both sides of the financial fence. While this will bring Mars’ war on income roadblocks and barriers to an end Pluto, the planet of change and transformation, will stay on to keep the momentum going. Mars is still the warrior planet of the cosmos, and he will still be looking for something to fight for, with his return to your communication sector, beginning a new war on communication roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined.

	Aquarius	Monday 02 March 2026	Jan 20 - Feb 18
As much as having the Moon in your relationship sector during Mars’ last full day in Aquarius might create some friction and even tension between your own and your relationship needs on Monday, the timing couldn’t be better. At the same time that the Moon will be using this to not only better understand what you want from your relationships and what they need from you, a friendly aspect to three of the five planets in your communication sector is also a chance to get the communication lines open. At the same time, knowing that once he leaves on Tuesday he won’t be back for another two years, this will leave you with a better sense of where to channel his passions, drive, warrior and competitive spirit. Meanwhile, this will see Mars join the Sun and planets in your income sector to begin a six week war on income roadblocks and barriers, just as the Moon not only returns to your financial sector but as an eclipsing Full Moon. This is going to all of a sudden energise both sides of the financial fence.

	Pisces	Monday 02 March 2026	Feb 19 - Mar 20
Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of March in Pisces, whether you have had your birthday yet or not, this is your birthday month and the start of a new solar year. While the Sun is here until the March equinox, there is a lot happening on the ground that is going to see the dynamics shift as the week progresses. The week not only begins with Venus and Mercury separating from an alignment that has put heart and mind on the same page, but just as Mercury is settling into his first full week in retrograde motion and Venus is getting ready to leave Pisces on Friday. At this point it is still just about being aware, but Mars’ return to Pisces on Tuesday will change that. Mars is the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos and is here to make things happen and that includes not just getting a sense of what you want from the coming year but starting to walk the talk. On the same day that Mars returns an eclipsing Full Moon in your relationship sector could put some pressure on a balance between your own and your relationship needs, but with plenty of support from the communication gods.
