Gemini 

You might feel nostalgia start to build, and could even find yourself missing or running into someone from your past. Business might be in a state of limbo, so be ready to be in cruise control when the right time comes. Old colleagues might want to connect and seek advice.

Cancer 

A venture that you’ve been working on for the past few months is coming to an end. Rather than get all torn up with me inside, understand that the new opportunities are on their way. One door closes, and another will open very soon. Manifest great projects that you will enjoy.

Leo

Your ideas and mental power will be on fire this week. Challenges will arise down the road, so take your time and stay present with any inspirations you feel. Although your plans may be prone to erratic changes, going with the flow can lead to success if you're patient.

Virgo

If you are craving material security, start making a plan for what you want to manifest in this season and stay present with your current circumstances.  Prioritize your personal pleasure and values, and start making a mood board for the coming months. You can succeed with this methodology.

Weekly Horoscope March 23–29, 2026: Astrology Forecasts for Every Sign

This week's astrology is asking us to stay in our lane and protect our energy. Here's what contributing astrologer Lisa Stardust sees in the week ahead for every sign.

The week ahead will be troublesome and aggravating if we act aggressively. If we choose to focus on the positives, we will not react to other people’s problems that they’re trauma dumping on us. Focus on yourself and creating the experiences you want versus negativity. Everyone wants to be the boss and tell others what to do, when they should be using that energy to augment their own lives and situations.

key astrological transits of the week:

• March 23: Mercury forms an alliance to the North Node of Destiny in Pisces, making the contacts we meet vital to our future and information we receive juicy. 

• March 25: The Sun forms a conjunction to Saturn  in Aries, urging us to be more dutiful and responsible. This is our opportunity to adult—pay bills, make appointments, and carry out errands. No slacking!

• March 25: The Sun in Aries links up with Pluto in Aquarius, heightening our determination and power. This is a day to take charge and embrace our fabulousness.

• March 28: Austere Saturn in Aries connects with revolutionary Pluto in Aquarius, starting disagreements that could be transformational in the end, but dramatic when they occur. Stay in your lane and don’t meddle in the affairs of others to avoid conflict.

Aries 

The week is pushing you to seek more affection and attention than usual. Apply restraint if possible, but it’s also okay to treat yourself. You may find that your current relationships lack what you need to feel sustained this week. Don’t be afraid to question whether they're enough for you. 

Taurus 

People find you appealing, and it will be very difficult for anyone to say no to you. This is an amazing week to ask for a favor or advice. However, don’t let your competitive urges get the better of you, because your desire to win might upset the peaceful dynamic. 

Gemini 

Your dreams will have an aspect of insight, so pay attention, and if you can remember anything from it, write it down before you forget any important details. You will likely find that you are having even more psychic connections than ever. Listen to what the universe is telling you.

Cancer 

This week opens you up to potential sensitivities from how others communicate with you. Take some time to sit and think about how you feel—it’ll come with an urge to be spontaneous, but not in the fun, playful way, so try to control those urges. Do not lose your temper.

Leo

Review your accomplishments to assess your current path. Where to go next should be very clear, so if you’ve been waiting for a sign, keep your eyes wide open throughout the week. You will probably want to discuss your ideas about this over time as well, to organize your thoughts.

Virgo 

You most likely will have the confidence and drive to accomplish something you may have been putting off for a while. Inspiration strikes, motivating you to move forward with a creative vision. Don’t shy away from being assertive right now, say exactly what you want or need, and be concise.

Libra

Your mood is up and down, seemingly out of nowhere, You’re oversensitive, so take it easy on yourself if you can. Relaxing in meditation will help stabilize this sensitivity that snuck up on you today. Watch a movie that makes you cry if you need to let it all out. 

Scorpio 

The week ahead brings a positive change in luck to your interpersonal relationships and scope of your career. Expect to get what you deserve. Don’t forget to be in the attitude of gratitude. Opportunities will keep coming your way. The biggest flex is owning your actions and embracing your power.

Sagittarius 

Implementing boundaries and time for yourself will allow your creativity to flow. However, it’s vital to shake off hurt from the past. This will help you squash any issues that have been weighing you down recently. However, you’ll have clarity after a few disagreements over how to live your life.

Capricorn 

Slow down! It's not a race to the finish line! There is an interplay between power and authority that doesn't seem to let up, which keeps you stuck in a moment. Bosses and colleagues might even try moves that are frustrating and difficult. Personal relationships are going to reach compromise. 

Aquarius

Before making any big choices, make sure you run them by someone who is emotionally detached to the situation. They’ll have a clearer view of things than you can have for the time being, so you also need to trust what they have to say, regardless of whether you agree.

Pisces 

Do your best not to overindulge in all the awesome, delicious gifts in store, even though the cosmos are giving you an appetite and hunger to live life to the fullest. You will find yourself desiring the highest quality goods this week to satiate those desires for the extreme opulence.

Weekly Astrology Forecast & Horoscopes: December 29, 2025 – January 4, 2026

This week is about alignment and emotional truth. There’s movement forward, but it’s not rushed. The astrology asks for maturity, discernment, and real accountability, especially in relationships and communication.

Major aspects of the week:

December 29 — Mars in Capricorn + True Node in Pisces

Momentum meets destiny. Mars in Capricorn pushes us to act with purpose, while the True Node brings people and situations that reflect where you’re actually headed—not where you’ve been. Pay attention to who shows up now. This is about being met at your level.

December 30 — Mercury in Sagittarius aspects Saturn in Pisces

Speak less. Mean more. Conversations benefit from restraint and clarity. This isn’t the week for over-explaining or emotional dumping. Say what matters. Let the rest fall away.

January 1 — Sun in Capricorn, conjunct the True Node in Pisces

A reset point. This aspect asks you to step into integrity with your path. Choices made now carry weight. Ask yourself where you’re being called to grow up, commit, or course-correct.

January 1 — Mercury square Neptune (Sagittarius–Pisces)

Mixed signals and emotional static. Miscommunication is likely if you assume instead of asking. Double-check information. Don’t make big emotional decisions in the fog.

January 1 — Mercury enters Capricorn

Relief. Communication sharpens. Boundaries become clearer. This transit favors honesty, structure, and saying things plainly without drama.

January 2 — Venus in Capricorn is conjunct the True Node

Relationship clarity. This can bring fated meetings, defining moments, or quiet realizations about who you want to build with. Commitment—romantic or otherwise—becomes a real question.

January 3 — Full Moon in Cancer

Emotional release. This lunation brings memory, grief, softness, and healing to the surface. It’s a karmic moment to let go of what you’ve outgrown emotionally—especially patterns tied to family, safety, and attachment.

Aries

Your cardinal go-getting ways are a little more subdued for the first half of this week, as you are feeling more pensive than usual. Your business prospects are taking a more independent approach, allowing you to delve inward on an emotional level. Try to find a balance to help.

Taurus

Ensure that you are following your goals and taking a step-by-step approach to achieve them. It's not about how quickly you are getting things done right now at all. Instead, it's a great time to step back and opt to dig into the creative process to attain success.

Gemini

It’s not that working with others is something that you’re opposed to, but you are light-years ahead of their progress, and want to keep your work flowing. Perhaps they can implement new endeavors and complete many of the tasks that are pending, which will make you confident in laboring together.

Cancer

Being honorable to your personal needs is the absolute priority at this time. Look at your dreams and make them happen with an open heart and mind. You will have several months of inspiration ahead. Still, the present gives you a strong sense of direction and proper steps to follow.

Leo

The passion in your chart is brewing and percolating. The energy that gives you a new perspective and outlook on the approach you should take is heightened. The plans you set in motion will have longevity, since the cisnis are lending a grounding verve to create long-term objectives with.

Virgo

You need to heed caution and keep it moving! Trusting your instincts is the name of the game, and if there is any sign meant to divert from the beaten path, that is most definitely you. Now, it's time to let these major decisions transpire and take on another journey.

Libra

Fortunately, you’ll find that the world is your financial oyster (so to speak). New opportunities are coming your way without a hitch, allowing you to gain speed and conquest in the business and economic sphere of your life. This gives you the chance to give light and love to abundance.

Scorpio

Starting your own business proves to be beneficial, as you will make money — so much so that you will want to keep this going as a side hustle. The caveat is not to be super boastful, as your colleagues at your 9-to-5 may be jealous of your win.

Sagittarius

This is a pivotal time to create a new financial plan and model that will help you achieve monetary triumphs in the future. This cosmic energy is going to inspire and motivate you to take a leap of faith and invest in ideas that you fully believe in, without hesitation.

Capricorn

Now isn’t the time to wear your cards close to your heart when negotiating contracts. Taking a stand to get what you want requires taking a risk and asking for what you deserve. Don’t let your nature push you into a professional situation that you are unsure about without thinking it through.

Aquarius

You are experiencing a few emotional meltdowns and burnout at the moment. This will make you more argumentative when things don’t go your way all of the time. You may also start to argue with the people who don’t have your back, forcing you to only align with loyal friends.

Pisces

The reason for the growth period you're undergoing is due to a simultaneous planetary awakening happening for you and the world, which might influence you towards a completely different career track than you would have ever considered for yourself in the past. Focus on how you can revolutionize your dreams.

WITCH TIPS & HOROSCOPES 3/3-9

Astrology by Lisa Stardust 

Mercury enters Aries on March 3, adding passion to our communication. The desire to tackle issues head on could create tension with others, so be aware of tonality and words. Mercury harmonizes with Pluto in Aquarius on the 5th, pushing us to dominate conversations. Let people share their perspectives without criticism to avoid conflict. March 6’s First Quarter Moon in Gemini lets us break free from the past by cultivating a new dynamic and vision. The Pisces Sun connects with Mars in Cancer, pushing us to grow on the 8th.

Witchtip: 

The First Quarter Moon in Gemini on March 6 is an optimal time to take a risk. Think back to the goals set during the New Moon on February 27 and try to amend them with the knowledge you learn this week. Paired together, you can transform your visions to take flight and grow into greatness. 

Aries 

The energy is high for being assertive and having emotions flare up with passion. While this week allows you to talk things out and get your points across, remember to be extra conscious and receptive to other people’s thoughts to avoid this intense energy escalating into arguments over silly drama.

Taurus 

You are moving away from impatience and into a more empathetic disposition. This allows us to understand things clearly from another person's perspective. You carry the compassionate energy and creative problem-solving skills necessary to resolve issues. Resolution and sensitivity are accentuated in the days ahead. Embrace the tenderness around you.

Gemini 

This week kicks up plenty of conversations as Mercury and Venus retrograde. Both of them, in Aries, emphasize expressiveness. The flip side is that it could instigate arguments with others. Think before putting your foot in your mouth to avoid unnecessary confrontations and issues to maintain the peace with friends.

Cancer 

Try to get in a light meditation before heading into work to have a moment of reprieve and less stress right now. This week creates a cerebral energy that may get the better of you, making it essential to ground and focus on your breath throughout the day. 

Leo 

You may feel that others are talking down to you right now or intentionally making your life difficult, so you may be forced to buckle down and push your agenda forward despite these obstacles. Give yourself a few days and try again once this resistant energy dissipates in the aether.

Virgo 

You are a soldier in your own battle. Ask yourself exactly who and what you are willing to fight for. That is precisely where you need to spend more of your time. It might even require you to cut away unwanted things and people from your life for a good reason.

Libra 

Personal relationships will have to come to a negotiation in some way. Even though you think you can, you will not be able to take on everything yourself. Be flexible and open to allowing people to help you. It’ll relieve a lot of stress and anxiety once you relinquish control.

Scorpio 

Turn on happy music and dance your worries away while decluttering your personal space. The week blasts off with a lot of energy as Mercury enters vibrant Aries, so expect a change of emotions for the better. This will be a necessary shift to get back on track with matters.

Sagittarius 

Take a moment to reflect as you come full circle. Look back on the intense personal growth the past several years have inevitably brought you and pat yourself on the back for the changes made in your life. This will give you the affirmation you need to continue your strides.

Capricorn 

Keep in mind that what worked then may not work now. Enjoy the fruits of your hard labor thus far while maintaining focus on the next long-term goal. Put your passions into a plan and invest consistent effort, and you will be bound to create practical, tangible results for yourself.

Aquarius 

A relationship is based on more than one person, so be open to hearing what others say if you also want them to listen to you—this week, bringing to light past emotional baggage to allow us to heal. Do shadow work to understand how you react to challenging situations.

Pisces  

Be sure to have your dream journal ready every morning this week, as the First Quarter Moon in Gemini forms a helpful connection to communicative Mercury. This cosmic climate can bring through psychic prophecy or visions, so try to notate any strange encounters you had while wandering the astral realms.
