March 2026 Astrology Insights from Depth Psychology

In episode 618, depth psychotherapist and astrologer Shawna McGrath, LMFT (she/her) shares with you the astrology of the month from a depth psychological perspective including Mercury retrograde in Pisces, Venus-Sun conjunct Saturn-Neptune, and more

Key Astrological Themes for March 2026

March builds on February's intensity, with lingering Pisces season transitioning toward Aries energy. Eclipse season continues (following the February solar eclipse) with a lunar eclipse in Virgo on March 3, emphasizing discernment, strategic healing, and releasing what no longer serves through embodied experience.

Eclipses create temporary voids, emotional immersion, and activation of psychological complexes.

Mercury retrograde in Pisces (stations direct March 20 at 8° Pisces) turns attention inward to unconscious psychic structures, intuition, faith, and the collective unconscious. Challenges include overwhelm from vast psychic material and collective fears. Guidance: Prioritize self-regulation through basic care like eating and movement to stay grounded.

The Virgo-Pisces axis highlights processing information, healing, service, compassion, and reducing suffering—with emphasis on reciprocity in giving and receiving support, amplified by the Full Moon in Pisces (March 18/19).

Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries blends structure with dissolution and spirituality. Personal planets interact: Venus enters Aries first (conjunct Saturn-Neptune), questioning relational realities and self-worth; Sun enters Aries (March 20), conjunct Saturn-Neptune, prompting deep questions of identity, ego, and existential meaning.

Additional aspects include Sun/Venus square Jupiter in Cancer (expansion and integration needs), Venus square Pluto (intense revelations and healing), and Jupiter stations direct March 10 at 15° Cancer (renewed optimism in nurturing themes).

Tarot guidance: Two of Cups (upright) for connection and healing, Ace of Swords (reversed) for subtle new insights, Chariot (reversed) for delayed but necessary inner preparation before action.

Overall, March invites profound inner work, relational depth, and compassionate presence amid cosmic shifts and potential overwhelm.

Wishing you safety, comfort, and gentle self-regulation through these potent energies.

Explore the stars within and without—March 2026 calls for soulful integration.
