Transcript:

[00:00:00] Hi, friends. Welcome back to the Astrology Hub Podcast. Right now you may feel like life has you in two places at once. Part of you is still connected to what's familiar, and the other part of you noticing that there's a future that wants to emerge, and that threshold space is exactly where the astrology of March, 2026 meets us.

My name's Laura. I'm an astrologer head of operations here at Astrology Hub and your host for today's show.

In this episode, I sat down with Rick Levine to talk about the astrology of March, 2026.

the transit this month. Describe that threshold moment that we're in. It's a time where the past may not feel fully complete, but the future is already asking for our participation, and that tension can feel confusing, emotional, and even disorienting

in this episode Rick Levine breaks down why this feeling is so present right now and why the astrology of March is a call to action so, without further ado, let's dive in.

Alright, Rick, welcome back to the Astrology Hub podcast. It's so great to have you back for another monthly forecast.

Uh, Yeah. Nice to be back.

Uh, It's

always a, a fun thing to do this time with you.[00:01:00]

yeah, so today we're gonna be talking about the astrology of March, 2026. But before we go there we did a, a forecast on February last time. And so let's start with a little bit of a recap of February since I know some of those transit kind of take us into the months of March.

Do

we have to? Oh my God. February. February feels like it lasted two or three years. I mean, just

from the amount of

flooding of information that we had,

Much often about things that we. Don't ever wanna know that we ever knew. I mean, it's crazy the amount of what was one of the key words that we had?

Was it

unraveling? Was that

the word?

in unraveling yes and

I mean, we,

we are well into this process and and if anything, it certainly strengthens. Our case as astrologers to be able to energetically understand what's going on.

If I

remember [00:02:00] correctly,

through January and February,

we

had planets moving from at the beginning of the year from Capricorn

into Aquarius,

lining up with Pluto, and I talked about how things were gonna be coming up from the dark, the underworld, the secrets are gonna continue to come out,

even though back then

it felt like what more could be said. And then as

the planets

all gathered and moved into Aquarius with the solar eclipse LA at the end of last month of, of February in Aquarius, it was almost like these are like last waves of energy because as

we begin March.

We now have most of the planets on into Pisces, and yet the real key players behind all of this are the four heavyweights in air in Aries at the beginning of March. And that would be the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune, which we can look [00:03:00] back at now and say, oh, that was last week or last month, depending upon when you're looking at it, because that was exact on

February 20. But of course, even on March 1st. The Saturn to Neptune

spread is still less than one degree and, and all through much of February.

You

know, if we saw a, a birth chart with a Saturn Neptune conjunction in it that were

45

minutes of arc, that's three quarters of a degree, we would go, wow, that's a really close conjunction of two heavy power monger planets. They were heavyweights. And on March 1st. That Saturn to Neptune is 45 minutes of ar. It's three quarters of

a degree. So

even though it's in

the past, this

is going to impact and affect us a lot. And looking back at February, what we began to see is how Neptune, the rose colored glasses were coming off and we [00:04:00] were being revealed.

The reality of what Saturn is sitting behind it and the ramifications are still just unfolding.

There's a

lot more to come out of this.

And when I

say this, I don't only mean the sex or the Jeffrey Epstein thing, but the hidden money. I mean, there's so many nuances of, of

political

stuff that ha that we've been entrenched with, not for just.

The

presidency of Donald Trump, but the presidency of presidents, going back to the beginnings of

the country,

maybe even back to

traditions of Rome

or Babylon, where some of this stuff has come from. it's very, very open and revealing.

And

I've been

saying, and I'm gonna say it again, that what we're going through this year in 2026 is not like anything that we've ever seen in history at least in recorded history. And when it seems like there's a lot going [00:05:00] on.

There

is. And so we move into March with the, as I was saying, four heavyweights, the Saturn and Neptune, both at one degree of Aries now, and we also still have

Chiron and Aris,

which

a

lot of people gloss over. But

this

is a conjunction

that happens about every

53 years or something like that.

And

And when Chiron, which is a 50 year cycle, catches up to

Aris,

Chiron is about exposing and feeling the wounds and

teaching what we've learned

from experiencing those wounds. Not always physical matter of fact, not necessarily physical, because on some level, as we know, there's no difference between

the physical

and

the metaphysical.

But as Chiron catches up to Eris, who kind of. Has

a,

like, like, like her brother Mars, she gets a bit of a bad rap [00:06:00] because she seems she's known as the sower of discord.

Or, you know, or, or the creator of chaos.

Now,

Mars did that, but basically to defend boundaries or to assert or aggress into other boundaries.

That's not what

Aris is all about.

Aris

likes

to stir up

trouble

and chaos so

that

she can see

what's

not fitting in and

where the issues are so that on a higher level it

can be

integrated in.

And

so we have

Chiron joining up with Aris,

which is basically something that's been unfolding all through 2025 and 2026, and will continue to at the end of Aries.

So in March, at the beginning of March, we have just those four heavyweights in in Aries. But as we unfold the month Venus is the first of the faster moving planets, and Venus

moves into

Aries on March [00:07:00] 6th. And then.

Because

Mercury is retrograde, mercury is

gonna take a bit longer. The sun

moves into Aries on the

first day of Spring.

That would be on March 20th. And then mercury turns direct

and, and

Mercury and Mars both will move into Aries in April.

So that the New Moon

in Aries, I know we're talking about March, but I need to frame this because where we're heading toward is a New Moon in Aries where Mercury, Mars, sun, moon, Neptune,

Aris, and

Chiron.

We have seven planets. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. I missed one. Mercury. Oh, and Mars. All in Aries. And that's kind of where this is going. Still in preparation for what will

unfold in

the

summer. So

let's come

back to March 1st,

Where on, on the first of of March. [00:08:00] Um, we still have

some planets

lingering in Pisces. And remember, the larger shift of what

we're going through is the

Saturn and

Neptune having both

spent time in Pisces and moving into Aries.

And

so as we get the planets moving through Pisces and toward Aries, we're gonna feel the action heating

up day

by day and week by week. And and again, the intensity is strong. And for those people who are already saying, I've had enough. I don't know how to tell you this. You haven't, there's more coming and it's not all negative. It's just that what we're seeing is the last flailing of something that is coming to an end. Now, whether it comes to an end gracefully. this is not about what happens week by

week and even

month by month this year because the shift that we're [00:09:00] looking at going through is a shift that's going

to take decades

if not really centuries to fully unfold.

It's like the last time

there was a Saturn

Neptune conjunction

at zero Aries was about 6,000 years ago

in, fifth century bc

and although it doesn't look like anything was recorded that year, this is a pivotable pivotal time, where we went from tribal animals

to city

dwellers to agriculture to use of metals.

I mean, the

shifts that

were going on then. We're huge. And

the shifts

that are going on now, with respect to technology, with consciousness, with so many things are, just as huge.

So, were you gonna say something?

or act.

I was just gonna clarify. So the decades and centuries to unfold what you're talking about, you're talking about, that's from the Saturn Neptune conjunction, the effects of that conjunction or the effects of like

the the effects, the effects

of [00:10:00] everything, whether it's the Saturn,

Neptune

conjunction, whether it's the, uh, Uranus, Pluto Trine, which has been tickling us for a year or so, but will be

exact for the first

time this summer for, three years on and off, whether we're talking about, the United States of America's Pluto return, which is a 250 year cycle,

whether or

248 year cycle, whether we're talking about the shift of Pluto from Capricorn into Aquarius, or even

the age of Aquarius, even

though that may not.

Officially, whatever that means, start for another

a hundred

years. These are, all, these changes

are coming

together, and when they're combined with the speed at which technology and consciousness is changing, it makes everything a very different story. That's really the point. It's not any one thing.

Hi, friends. If you are loving this conversation I would love to extend an invitation to you to Mark's upcoming live Saturn Cycles webinar [00:11:00] happening here at Astrology Hub on Tuesday, March 3rd.

Mark is going to guide you step by step on how to calculate your Saturn cycles, how to identify which phase you're in right now, and what each threshold is inviting you into.

He will also walk you through real chart examples so you can see how Saturn weaves story across an entire lifetime, not just at the Saturn return.

This webinar is an opportunity to start consciously working with these important chapters in your life and identify exactly what they mean for you.

We will also be hosting a live q and a as part of this webinar series so you can have the opportunity to ask your questions and dive even deeper into Mark's teachings.

And even if you can't make it live, we will be releasing replays of these sessions and you will have lifetime access to the recordings.

To learn more, head to astrology hub.com/saturn cycles. We're also [00:12:00] gonna drop that link in the show notes. I can't wait to see you there. And now back to the episode.

But when we look at March, there are some very interesting, very one things, and we start the month off right away on March 2nd with uh,

with,

Mars moving into Pisces. And again, when a planet's in Pisces. Even though it's coming from Aquarius to a Pisces into Pisces, the Pisces is gonna quickly become the anchor of what's holding us

back to the

age of Pisces,

back to

the illusions, back to the fake newses of not only the Saturn

Neptune conjunction,

but with Saturn

and Neptune.

Neptune

in Pisces now

for 14

years now having moved into Aries. So Mars moving into Pisces on the very beginning of the month on March 2nd almost is like a signal that even though everything's moving forward really quickly, we got

an [00:13:00] anchor

here in Pisces that's still going

to be stirring up illusions

and mysteries and uncertainties.

And of course Pisces is also about compassion and, you know,

human connection. So there,

I'm, I don't want to go dwell on just

the negative

part of this. But as Mars moves into Pisces, it also makes a square and a half with

Jupiter.

Now, Jupiter

is retrograde in cancer, but Jupiter turns direct on March 10th.

And

remember,

Jupiter

is often

considered the cosmic good guy.

In

traditional astrology, his title was The Greater Benefic.

I like Cosmic Good guy. The problem is that even

Hippocrates wrote

that even what he wrote was every

tonic in

excess is toxic. So it doesn't matter how good something is. Too much of, it'll still kill [00:14:00] you.

And Jupiter, although

it has the reputation of being good

because it makes things seem

better

and bigger

and more

and all

of that's cool, but Jupiter is a

powerhouse.

And as Mars. Moving into Pisces on March 2nd and making an exact Sesqui square with Jupiter. Sesqui Square is

a square and a half,

And it functions like a square. It creates tension

that needs resolution. But

here the tension

is between

Mars forceful going into Pisces. Where am

I going? I

don't know, but I gotta look like

I'm going somewhere.

And to Jupiter saying, make it bigger, make it more, we've had. And we're still coming off of

Some rines to

Jupiter that I'll talk

about in a bit.

one of them is Mercury having tried Jupiter once and because it's turned retrograde, mercury trying Jupiter around the 16th of [00:15:00] February and Mercury in its retrograde will try

Jupiter again

on March

6th.

March 5th. We're coming

right up

to it

right now, and then when it turns direct, it'll try and Jupiter again for the third and final time, the beginning of April, on April 3rd. Why is this significant? Because when Mercury

rines,

Jupiter, it's like. Big ideas come out so much that they may be overwhelming. And I talked

to someone the

other day and said, this person who's a news junk, he said,

I can't take anymore.

My brain is full. And this is

Mercury Rinding, Jupiter. And the reason

why we're talking about this, not

just because it's coming up, but

because at

the beginning of March,

Mars is trining Jupiter. And this might end up being an over expansive show of military power because it's Mars. It may be,

not just

a shouting

match because Mercury

still is involved in all of this, but there's just that stuff of

Jupiter going more and more and

[00:16:00] more. And because Jupiter isn't moving right now, what do I mean it

isn't moving well, because it's at

the end of its retrograde phase on March 1st. Jupiter is at 15 and a quarter degrees of cancer still moving backward. But on March

10th,

Jupiter's still at 15 degrees of cancer. And then it starts moving forward

and it doesn't

leave that

15 degrees and 15 and a

quarter degrees of cancer until almost the end of March, but it's still at 15 degrees of cancer.

Even at

the

beginning of April

when

a planet

doesn't move or

isn't moving, just

like when mercury changes directions, that's where it holds power. And so we have these

planets coming

into these connections with Jupiter that are quite significant. The first being Mars's Squee Square with

Jupiter on

March 2nd coming into the eclipse.

This is a part of the eclipse. We'll come back and talk about that in a [00:17:00] moment. That's on March 3rd in the morning on the west coast of the US at 3:37 AM but.

We

start the month with Mars and Jupiter, making that aspect. By March 5th, we have the sun making. It's trying to Jupiter. Okay, turn the faucets off. We're flooding.

This

is like a biblical flood, but it's not just water, although it has been that in some places and snow in some

places. It's a

flood of images. It's a flood of imagination. It's a flood of news. It's a flood of data, almost like in the matrix where you see those green,

letters trickling down

the screen

as the matrix breaks up and you, it's almost, it feels like that's March 5th. But then on March 8th, mercury,

retrograding makes it second.

Trying to Jupiter you remember, it's first trine was on February 16th and its third will be on April 3rd. [00:18:00] So that caps a whole

period of

time where we're stuck in this flow of information that just. Can't seem to be turned off. That's March 8th. But then as the sun continues to move along on its path and as and just right as the sun moves into Aries, which is the

first moment

of spring on March 20th, on March 21st, Mars.

Makes its rine to Jupiter.

And so we have this repetitive theme that's on March 21st, Mars Trin, Jupiter,

a

again, in a sporting match.

That's a great aspect because you have the enthusiasm of Jupiter coupled with the force of Aries. But this is all a, a bit overwhelming and this is part of what March is

all about. But

I think it's also obviously not only important, but crucial that we spend a moment [00:19:00] talking about the second of the two eclipses this

season.

The first was

February 17th that that we had the new moon eclipse. And then on

March 3rd

we have the full moon eclipse, conjunct

the south

node. Denoting

past facts

that

we need

to let go of things that are no longer useful on some level. But this eclipse coming up, this full moon

in in full moon eclipse,

moon in Virgo.

Is not only

opposing the Sun in Pisces, but also Mars in Pisces, mercury in Pisces, and Venus in Pisces.

And so we have this whole dilemma of useful facts saying yes, no, what's good, what's

not good? What,

what's,

what should we keep? What

should we throw away? How do we discriminate what's real from what's not real? That's what

the moon

and Virgo wants us

to do. But all those planets and [00:20:00] Pisces want

us to accept

the field

of information and just see and, and embrace

the whole thing all

together. And so it can be a bit overwhelming, especially because Mars, just prior to the eclipse, p prior

to the full moon, Mars moves into

dispersive Pisces and makes that square and a half with.

Overwhelmingly expansive Jupiter.

So this is incredibly potent because it's in some way a metaphor for holding on to what we

had, but

I don't think it will last

because Mercury then will make

on March

4th, a half square to Pluto

and Mercury's half

square to

Pluto again, because when Mercury

turns

retrograde,

it goes over a planetary aspect. Then it goes back over it again and then over it again for a third and final time,

like we talked

about with the Mercury Jupiter three times. Well, mercury [00:21:00] also,

Does the

same thing in

its in its half square to, Pluto and it made its first half square to Pluto back

on February 20th, right at the same time, within a day of the Saturn Neptune conjunction.

So all this

information is

being revealed. That's uncomfortable. This is

the Mercury data

Pluto coming up from the underworld.

that was on February 19th, and

then on

March 4th, it'll make that aspect a second time and then a third time on, on April 7th. But what this means is that we can expect more overwhelming amounts of more. Information that's coming up, exposing things that we might have thought,

we might have

heard, we might have dismissed as a conspiracy, but now it's coming up in ways that it's like, holy crap, this

stuff is

all real.

And of course, on March 4th also we

have Venus making a

[00:22:00] sextile with Uranus. And so thing,

 

it's an uncontrollable few days. I don't think

this is necessarily negative.

I think this is just a lot

of stuff

going on. A lot more stuff coming out on March 6th. Venus

moves into

Aries and now we're getting

a sense

of where are we going with all of this, coming,

going

forward. In fact mercury makes a Kami that's, it lines up

exactly with the

sun on March 7th. Communication is really potent now.

And

yet, remember Venus moved into Aries on March 6th. Well, what's it gonna do when it gets into Aries? First thing it's gonna do is it's gonna say hello Neptune.

Uh, he,

hello Saturn, because they're both

at the first degree

of, um, of, of Aries. And so we have Venus lining up with Neptune on

the seventh and

Saturn on the

eighth.

TheDream n all

of a sudden hits the wall, becomes real

again, the eighth.

And, [00:23:00] and as part of that same thing Mercury makes, its trying with Jupiter overwhelmingly too much information. I mean, there's just so much stuff going on

and

Jupiter is stationing 'cause

it turns direct. I say it turns direct. That's

the mathematical calculation. It

really doesn't move pretty much all month, for all practical purposes. But Jupiter turns direct on March 10th, which kind of says that the solar system's energy of growth, which has been pulling back, going into a latent phase. Just like when a kid grows, there's

weeks and

months where it looks like

nothing happens.

And then one day, your kid wakes up and

and

he's two or three inches taller and talking differently. I mean, growth happens like that. And

that's Jupiter going into

its latent phase when it's retrograde and through March, and the exact date is March 10th. But I wouldn't necessarily put too much weight on

that date itself.

It's just the beginning of the process where the force, the [00:24:00] energy,

the expansion,

the growth of

the entire solar system

is

now being fueled again and will be for the next,

you know, seven, eight months ahead.

Then we

have a little bit of a breather space here.

Um, and I, I, I say breather, it's not like,

it,

it, it's not like a go to sleep breather. But there aren't like that, there isn't that kind of action for a bit. And then around 12 13th,

around the

13th,

Mars still moving

through Pisces.

Now

I sometimes feel

like Mars and Pisces is like, do you ever have one of those nights

when

you're, when,

when, when, when you're, when you're all dressed

up

and ready

to go to a party

you've been

looking forward to

and

you realize you can't find the goddamn invitation and

you don't know

where it is.

And, and there's no one to

call

to find out where

it is. And Mars and Pisces sometimes is all dressed up and ready to go and it doesn't know where to go.

[00:25:00] And so on March 8th, Mars

going through Pisces, which will do

for the entire

month of March. But Mars going through Pisces on on, I'm sorry,

on March

13th is

what we're at eight

degrees of Pisces.

That's where the eight came in. Mars will line up with the north node of the moon. This

is the

eclipse point. the nodal axises define the relationship between the sun and the moon's orbit and so on March 13th, Mars hits that nodal point. And yet there's something else that we talked about last month.

I don't know if I talked about it in depth, I did in my YouTube, monthly. but that is that

Chiron

and

Aris are

both making half squares. And Squee Square and a half to both sides of the nodal axis, and they've been holding that for a bit. And on March 13th, 14th,

15th,

Mars moves through those points where it lines up with the [00:26:00] nodes and makes half squares with Chiron and Eris. I'll come back to that in a moment, but then on March 15th, 16th. Even the 17th retrograde Mercury does the exact same things.

and in

fact that whole magic of that Mercury and Mars

doing that at

the same time gives force and energy to what it is that we say in a way that's tied to some sort of

vortex

time loop or something.

'cause

it's involving

the nodal axis and it's semi square to Chiron and Aris. And here's the thing about

semis squares. Most

astrologers know all about squares. They're their engagement, their conflict. They're, they're, you gotta make a decision. 'cause things are going in two different ways. Squares are often

disruptive.

Well, half

squares

are not less active than squares. They're more [00:27:00] focused, which means that in

a half

square, we're often motivated

to do

something about it. We can go through a square and think about what we should do. We can come up with a plan

and yet do

nothing during that process.

During these half squares,

what are we gonna be motivated to do? We're gonna be motivated to mercury speak. With compassion in Pisces and Mars to engage in some way wherever we can, even if we don't know what

the

long-term process is, in a way

that's half

square to Chiron and Eris, which is about healing ancient wounds and stirring up enough trouble

to bring things out

into

the open so that

they can

then be brought

back into into inclusion. So that's

the magic.

Oh, and during the same period of time we also have Venus making a half

square with Uranus,

which is even stirring things up even more. 'cause it makes

it very exciting. I

think

that this whole period

of time

is quite

exciting[00:28:00]

that,

that by the 18th of Mars Venus is making a square to to Jupiter. And this reminds me. Um, of the old May West Line, I've

been rich,

I've been poor. Rich is better. But she also said

too much of a good

thing is a good thing, which is not

if you're eating stuff

bad

for you that

tastes good, or

if you're

doing sex, drugs or alcohol, anything that might

be pleasurable in a moment

with a Venus Square, Jupiter. we're back to the, it's too much

theme that I had going,

A, a

bit ago. And then the Sun makes a sextile with Uranus during the same time. I see this week

as being a

really, really big, big week.

That leads right into the New Moon on March 18th, and I think that's a breather period of time that is quite potent. It is the date of, well, within a day.

Of the third and [00:29:00] final Chiron Aris conjunction, which I referenced back at the beginning because Chiron and Aris came together in the early summer of 2025 and

then again in the fall,

on their retro grades. And so this is the third and final chance that

we have

to work with the coalescence of Chiron.

and Ariss.

That would be the

teacher, the mentor, the learning, the wounds that propagate people

to teach or

to heal or to

help.

Remember Chiron may have

been the

original mentor. Chiron taught Asclepius the healing arts.

Chiron taught

Hercules how to fight.

so in some ways we teach based

upon our old, our own old wounds. And when Chiron aligns with Aris, it's not afraid to stir up shit that's uncomfortable. And so during this period of time I think that [00:30:00] this, the exact, the perfection of this on March 19th, very, very close to this new Moon that we,

just talked

about. and the new Moon. Actually has Mars now coming into its trine with Jupiter.

Again, we have this

too much,

too much, too much. there's just so much energy being tied up

and

Mercury, which I mentioned earlier, is actually less than, it. it's, about a degree away from making its exact half square to the

Chiron and

Aris. That was exact

a few

days ago that we already talked about. The energy here is intense. and yet, this is not

an

eclipse, but

it is the seed period

and

it's very important to understand that this seed period is happening

at

the next to last degree of Pisces. Just like the previous New Moon was at 28 degrees at the 29th degree [00:31:00] of Aquarius. This one is at

the 29th

degree.

Of Pisces getting us ready

because in the days, immediately following literally immediately following this eclipse,

the first the

moon

moves.

into

Aries the moon moves into Aries at 9:02 PM which is really just a few hours,

the eclipse is

at six 30.

So the eclipse

happens a couple of hours later.

Three hours later, the moon moves into Aries,

and that's on

the 19th. Then on the 20th, the sun moves into Aries. And so it's almost like this Pisces eclipse is like a goodbye.

 

and I think

here we're now talking about what's really going on in March because by March 20th we have the Sun, Neptune, Saturn, Venus, the Moon, Chiron, and and Aris.

That's seven planets all in Aries [00:32:00] with retrograde Mercury just getting ready to turn direct.

actually,

Also within a few hours of the, suns move into Aries. So, mercury technically turns direct on March 20th. Which is the same day that the sun moves into Aries one day after Chiron makes its exact conjunction

with Aris. And two, two days

after the actual New Moon in Pisces, what we're seeing is a Adios Pisces, but Mercury is still retrograde in Pisces just getting ready to turn direct. And Mars is still in Pisces, so we're still can't let

go of the old,

even

though

we know everything's moving on. There. There, there's stuff holding us back and I keep thinking of Douglas Adams who, you know, who wrote Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or the Universe.

Yeah.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe

But the point here is we're leaving [00:33:00] the age of Pisces. I mean, it may not be happening for another, half a century or more,

but in some ways what march is,

maybe this is the theme

of March

so long, and thanks for the fish. Because there's this whole concept of multiplicity, not Gemini duality, but multiplicity in Pisces. It's the,

it's the multiplicity of the fish,

of the of Christ making that, that miracle of everything happening.

But in

some ways, by the first,

by the

vernal equinox in the northern hemisphere, the autumn equinox, if you're south of the equator by the Equinox on March 20th. We're in new ground. We're in new ground, and now we ha we're pushing into this

airy stuff. Saturn is

pushing

away from its conjunction

with Neptune by March 20th. Saturn

is almost two

and a half degrees away from Neptune. They're still close and it's [00:34:00] still confusing,

but we're beginning to get

inklings of what's going on and then what happens when the sun moves into Aries. Hello. Hello Neptune. Hello Saturn, because they've both pushed a little bit further on. The sun doesn't join up

with Neptune until March

22nd,

and then the

sun joins up

with Neptune on

March 25th. And then the sun makes a sextile with with Pluto. Again, dredging stuff up

from the

underworld.

But I think that once we

get toward the end of the month, the energy shifted again. But we also have, mercury and Venus. Remember Mercury was making those half squares with Chiron and

Aris

as it went

over the nodes, that when was that like around the 16th, 15, 16th, 17th. Well, by the 20th

'cause [00:35:00] Mercury stationed and then now was moving direct, it's going back through that same damn point again.

And so

it's like we can't get

beyond the complexity of Ky ironic healing,

forgiveness,

remedy.

and The disruptions and disorganization of Ariss. And

so what we have on March

26th, 27th,

E

26th and

27th, both Mercury

and

Venus are connecting up with the, the Chiron. In fact, on the 20th,

the moon makes

a conjunction at late Aries with Aris and

Chiron. And then by the 23rd, Venus is lining up with actually the 25th, 26. Venus is lining up with Eris and Chiron almost

as. We,

we have to forgive, we have to come somehow embrace or at least [00:36:00] acknowledge forgiveness. Doesn't mean absolving someone you know of whatever the, the consequences are of their actions. But Mercury also in that half square, again place, half square place. Again, it's like our minds are struggling to try to put all this into place. And then there's two

things

that happen at the end of the month

that cap the

month off. I think one of them other astrologers will notice, and one of them might slightly pass under many people's radars.

The

one

that everyone will notice is that

Venus becomes the first of the planets to leave Aries

and head

into Taurus, which is what's going to happen more in April and May as, as the sun. Mercury and Mars do the same, but right now Venus is pushing ahead of the sun. So on March t.

t. Venus moves into Taurus,

which can ground our needs and our desires, and just kind of take a little bit of the edge off of the, we want

something new.

Maybe

now we want [00:37:00] something more stable. We want things to be more sensible. We will see how that plays out. But the other thing that is hugely significant, that is pushing toward the latter part of

of March,

And that

is a sextile

between, Saturn

and Pluto.

I mean, this sextile has been in play.

I mean,

going back to the March 1st, Saturn and Mars were sextile by under three degrees by the middle of the month. By March 15th, that Saturn, Pluto sextile is down to about one and a half

degrees, then.

Saturn

makes its exact sex tile with Pluto on March 28th. Now, why is this important and why will it go onto people's radars? Well, often

when we're doing this kind

of

monthly stuff, sex

tiles are just kind

of, they

kind of can come and go. They,

they just [00:38:00] don't often catch

our attention. But to me, sex tiles

are like trines,

except they don't just flow. You have to take the opportunity.

For those of you who are already subscribed, thank you so much. Now let's get back to the episode,

There's something about the sextile that that [00:39:00] says you have to put energy into it for something

to happen.

Well, if we look at the Saturn, Pluto,

sextile,

this

is the first chance we have to do something positive, to do something that

creates an

opportunity or, or, or a growth from what was going on

when we

had

the Saturn

Pluto conjunction. Hmm. Saturn Pluto conjunction,

as many

people know, and some people may try to forget was on January 12th, 2020, the day that the coronavirus genome was announced and the first mortality were pronounced. And of course, we know what unfolded from that. I've actually begun to call that period of time, that 2020 into 2021, rather than calling it the quarantine or the COVID period. I, I, I call that the period of earth having a stroke or humanity having a stroke. It's like for almost a [00:40:00] year, we were just moving around and moving around, and then all,

we

just stopped. It was like, now whether it

was enforced or

whether we did it, not an issue. I don't know. I don't care. but the image of understanding

from

an energetic standpoint, what happened then? And then there was a bit of a reset.

And

then from that,

as we

began coming out of that, just like when a stroke victim comes out of a stroke, there's a relearning and you're not the same as you were going into it and. And the fact that we can look back centuries. I actually have a, we might, you might wanna put up the

YouTube link,

On the history of the Saturn Pluto conjunction

opposition

cycles because we're talking about, the conjunctions in the 20th century,

of

Saturn and Pluto were 1914. August, within a week of World War I starting August again of, 1947, within a week of India and Pakistan being partitioned

and [00:41:00] released

from the British Commonwealth.

Also the year or within a year, either way of the formation of the UN and the formation of the state of Israel.

Put that one aside. And then in 1982,

We had the whole fiasco

of

the, bombing of

of Lebanon by

Israel and the whole, US embassy in Tehran and all of that. That went on. Also, it was the only colonial war in the Western Hemisphere in 1982. 'cause that was when Britain and, and Argentina fought over the Falkland Islands, remnant of colonialism. and even the bombing of the World Trade Tower was on

a Saturn Pluto opposition. That history

is fascinating when it comes

to the

restructuring of boundaries, both physical, nationalistic

and

even idea boundaries. The whole Copernican revolution occurred on Saturn, Pluto, conjunctions and squares. What does that mean to this

month?

What it [00:42:00] means is that

as we

push toward the end of this month, as we push through this month, we're given an opportunity to take. Saturn's ability to create boundary and Pluto's drive to cause metamorphosis, to change boundaries so that they can

better reflect the nature of what is, rather than the nature of what was. And so we have this opportunity as Saturn comes into that

perfected sextile

with,

with Pluto.

I think this is also

not only a stabilizing factor,

but also a signal to what's

coming

ahead. Because remember in July. Neptune will make that same exact perfected sextile with Pluto as it also makes a perfected

exact sextile with

Uranus on the other [00:43:00] side. and this is pulling in that whole complexity of

the, what I'm calling the

almost grand Sextile

of July 19th when we

have Pluto Neptune, Uranus, Jupiter, and the Moon making five points on a six pointed star. And I think here we're seeing some potential of what may be around the bend.

That's it.

That's all I know,

Rick, I mean, if you could only see the notes I've been taking it's, it sounds like a very busy month, and so if February was the unraveling, it sounds like March is kind of.

of.

I don't wanna be dramatic, but it kind of sounds like a crisis point of some. No.

well, you know, it, it, there's crises and crises and crises. And

I'm not saying there won't

be any, but I think on some crazy level we might be through the most local crisis, whatever that is. and I think that there's just

a continuation

of like, [00:44:00] what's that phrase, poking the bear. It's just

like again and again

and again from different sides. I, and I, and I think I, I mean, I love like having a meal at the restaurant

at the

edge of the universe.

You know, the Douglas Adams things so long and thanks for the fish. we're moving on to something new, but we

still have anchors in the

old, it's

not letting us get away

as fast as we might like to.

Even

with all those planets moving into Aries, and remember the Saturn Neptune conjunction in Aries,

Neptune

is not. Proactive. Neptune is abortive and expansive metaphysically. And when Neptune and Saturn come together in Aries, there is a proactive, pro generative sense to it that as the planets, including the sun at the, at the Equinox in the days after when the sun moves from Pisces into Aries and lines up with Neptune and Saturn, it's going to remind us of that push forward. [00:45:00] But we're not gonna push forward without getting the resistance of the fish are not

giving up so long,

and thanks for the fish. There's a lot of fish out there that are saying, you know what, this ocean ain't dry yet

and we're gonna

do whatever we can to keep it going.

I

don't think that March is worse. Then February. I think it's a, mixed message and I never know, and no one really does, which way things will go astrologers pride themselves on their ability

to predict.

But I think prediction is often based upon the predictors bias and wish fulfillments

and fantasies,

whether it's they fear something or want something.

All

I know, and I, this is my prediction again and again and again, and that is

that

if you don't do anything, you'll end up going

exactly where you

were going.

Yeah, so Rick, to forget about the fish. When will we be ready to kinda let the old world go? Is it at that Aries New [00:46:00] Moon in April that you were saying at the beginning that's kind of leading up to that big pile up in Aries? Like when can we feel like, okay, no, we're totally in this new space and we can let things go.

So

when,

when

did the age of Pisces start? start?

Oh,

I don't know.

Maybe it was Jesus' birth. Maybe it was the Council of naia. Maybe it was. I mean, you

know,

we, what, what's the birth of the United States?

There was a Declaration

of Independence July 4th, 1776. But the Articles of Confederation and the establishment of the government

didn't happen until, I think, eight, 83 1783 if I'm not, maybe off a year there.

The point is that there is no one

point when it's done. Look, even when it's done, in the United States, the Civil War ended, 150 years ago. Apparently it hasn't ended.

You

know, are we done with it? and again, I'm just using that as things hold [00:47:00] on. we have this idea of dis

incarnation, death and reincarnation

as if everything doesn't go through that same process. and as we know, when you leave, your body consciousness doesn't end.

And

so when something is over physically, there's still remnants and vibrations that hold on. And so I'm very hesitant to say this will be over on such and such a date, because I am assuming, and

maybe this is

my faulty assumption, that in a hundred years or in 500 years on some level, some humans, if we're still around, are gonna still

be having the same battle.

Hmm.

We,

in many ways, you can look at current history and see it as a, as an instant replay with new costumes and languages of that which was going on 2,500 years ago.

 

it's like, have we learned any lessons? Well, no, we're still playing the same [00:48:00] dumb old human games, and maybe we will learn some lessons, and maybe that's what this is about. But I think

it would

be

a bit, hubristic, is that the right word

for

me to just assume that is it? You know, I mean, pretty much in every era, humanity

has thought that the

end of the world is near.

Yeah.

We think that 'cause we're all in bodies

and bodies die. And

so we all know that we'll live up to the end, but it keeps going on. And yet having said that, this year, 2026 is presenting us with some absolute unique, never happened before. Opportunities

for instant change.

I mean, look, there's never been

a

time in

history

where humanity can share so many ideas with so many people so fast that overnight something could happen.

It used to

take. Decades, centuries for an idea like the invention of the printing press in China, [00:49:00] what,

200 years before Gutenberg?

But

they didn't know it, imagine if, one part of the country had iPhones and the other part of the country was still using Morse code, and it continued that way for your entire lifetime and you, so we live in an incredibly unique moment where consciousness can change on a dime,

and it

makes pre prediction futile and it requires engagement and involvement because otherwise we'll get to where we were going, which may not be the place where we thought we were going.

going.

Rarely is right. So to try to recap what I wrote down for the first week or so, is uncontrollable and overwhelming. Sounds like we have, a lot Jupiter being involved with the square, the Rines to Mercury and Mars trying to, Jupiter and the squares and a half right to Jupiter, overwhelming, but we still have Mars and Pisces. So it's, there's this [00:50:00] ties to the past, we can't quite let go. It's a little bit slower. Maybe our direction is a little bit blurred. And then that lunar eclipse, something you said was the dilemma of what's useful and what's not, or

what's

yeah. Virgo. Virgo de Pisces,

the full Moon eclipses in Virgo.

And Virgo Moon wants to make a decision.

This

is this and that is that.

Remember in the body, the Virgo part of the body is the bowels is the intestines. And that's where the body biologically says, let's assimilate ‘

this. cause I can use it and

it passes it into

the bloodstream.

Nope, this is shit. Let's send it down the line and let Pluto

Excrete

it. I

mean, seriously, metaphorically,

that's what Virgo is all about.

Yes,

no good, not good.

Useful, not useful. And yet it's

happening at a point that's lined up with

the south

node of the moon, which has

to do with

the past. And

it's opposite

all those planets and [00:51:00] Pisces, which says,

forget about discrimination except

everything, and

figure out how to

be compassionate and embrace everything.

Mm. Okay, great. And so then by the middle of the month, we have a lot of action with Mars in the north node and making aspects to Chiron and Aris Mercury doing the same thing. And there's a new moon in that period as well. And so in's kind of a final period to work with a Chiron Aris energy, and it's at 29 degrees Pisces.

Is that right?

Yes. Yeah. I I think it's 29, and 28 and a half. Let me just

see here

it is.

Yeah, the

New Moon is at yeah, just 28 and a half

degrees of, of Pisces, so

it's almost 29 degrees

Pisces.

Right.

So the beginning of the month is overwhelming, uncontrollable. We get to the more beginning the middle of the month, which is this period which you call a breather period, which it doesn't sound too much of a breather, but from Pisces. That makes sense. And then towards the end of the month, you said that we have a big shift in [00:52:00] energy.

But is that because all of the planets are moving into Aries and we have lessened Pisces? Is that what you meant by that?

Well, yeah. I, I think that, yes, that is part of it. And I think also it, there's just less

pressure I think toward the very

middle of the month and well, but by, again, by the beginning of spring, once the sun moves into Aries we're gonna want action.

And that sun end the moon going over all the Aries planets, at least toward the, end of March a around the 21st, 20 20th, first, second, right in there. Up to about the 25th when the sun catches up with Saturn, the, it's definitely, the energy has shifted.

I think it's, we're wanting

to figure out what are we gonna do about what it is we now know.

You

know, how

and again.

we have

to be

careful about making one-sided predictions because,

the, with Saturn separating from

Neptune and the sun lining up with Saturn, there can be, military suppression. this isn't all [00:53:00] about, freedom of speech, so to speak, because obviously

pretty much everything cuts two

ways.

That's part of the Jupiter thing. the way you described it

and maybe even

the way I described it

unintentionally, a lot of Jupiter isn't necessarily

bad. and you used the word overwhelming, which is interesting. Do you know that

whelming

is actually a word?

Is

it?

it

and

and whelmed. The word whelmed means to be underwater.

Oh.

and so overwhelmed, underwhelmed.

I mean there, it's basically,

yeah, I think the overwhelm with all

that Piscean

energy, there is a sense of being underwater.

And, you

know, and, and, and the flood thing, and this is something that I've been hearing about a lot, been talking about it some, and that is this whole idea of

this,

Technique called flooding, which is a conscious technique that governments use, CIA uses [00:54:00] apparently lawyers not only know about it,

but can be

warned against using

it, but sometimes can use it to their favor. And what flooding is basically

like, imagine

a trial where someone

just brings

in

so much information

and

some of

it is really useful and some of it is not. And some of it's true and, but it's just overwhelming. The jury just goes.

I

can't deal with all this, and there's just a psychological numb

out. And so the downside of all this Jupiter stuff is that it's really

easy to

go home, pull the covers up over our head, take

a cup of

tea under the

covers

and not answer the phone

and

just sip our tea and say everything's gonna be fine.

Yeah. Well, I think that's where a lot of people are at. I mean, it's where I find myself sometimes where it's just like, it's just too much to turn on the news. It's just too much. And I have so much going on in my own life that I just try to focus on my four walls, what's in here. But yeah, that's

Yeah, four,

your four walls, your one husband, your two kids, you

know. the electric

bill and you know, [00:55:00] your parents yelling at you for something

right. Yeah, sometimes I don't have the time and it's just great for my own nervous system to take a step back. And so it sounds like this is a good month to, if you need to take a step back, or at least notice how much time you're spending in the information soup.

I think that

that's true, but I would caution anyone from taking all the steps

back because

that is the game that they, whoever the hell they are,

that's

what they

want us to do. And

once we take a lot of steps back. Then

we lose participation.

and if we don't take

care of ourselves, then we can't take care

of those

who are depending on us or those we love. Absolutely.

absolutely, yeah. So Rick, I'll put you on the spot. If you had to give this month like a theme or a word or something that people can take with them as they go through this

this

whelming,

What would you say?

It's just another month?

Just.

Well, you know, in some ways my, my old astrology partner in crime who passed away,

geez, just

over 10 years ago [00:56:00] now. He used to say that the astrologers had legality from the Astrologers Full Employment Act. And when someone would say the Astrologers Full Employment Act, what's that?

He'd go, the planets, they keep moving around. they're not gonna stop.

You know,

In March and yes, I think overwhelming might be, or maybe whelming is the word of the month.

but

it's with a sense of action, those planets moving into Aries.

it's

like

we've crossed the threshold.

There may be more thresholds, but and maybe the threshold

is

that inter liminal interdimensional in between, Bardo states as the Tibetans call it. is that

place in between.

But we've crossed into it. We're no longer where we were. It's what some biologistsincluding my buddy Bruce Lipton call Imaginal Cells.

caterpillar. Goes into the chrysalis, into the cocoon, into the chrysalis stage,

and it melts and

it becomes just this black goo [00:57:00] caterpillar's dead or something's not there.

But

the

cells

start

Buzzing

and

sparking and

recreating lines between them that

re crystallize

into a butterfly

and

biologists call those imaginal cells. And maybe at this point in time, we've moved into a realm where we're all realizing our potential as imaginal selves, and we get

to choose either

the

light, love,

compassion moving forward.

Or,

 

and the truth. And sometimes that those actually interfere with each other, or we can choose

denial going

backwards into what felt safe and maybe was built on an illusion of what was

in the

dark and

hidden.

I don't know if that was a theme, but that's what I thought when you said that. It's, definitely, the feeling of whelming into action or, there, there's, there [00:58:00] is a move here towards wanting to do

something.

and maybe in some ways. Maybe in some ways this is a call

to action.

It

may be, because I think that

by midsummer,

I think

in some ways the die will have

been cast.

Not that there won't be any room to move. But I think that it's what

we're doing now

in January, February, March and April, that will determine the solidification of what happens

During the

Neptune

Uranus, Pluto trines and sex tiles.

Hmm. So it sounds like we'll have a lot to talk about next month as well when we do another forecast for April and yeah, I'm just, I'm grateful to have your stewardship during this time. 'cause I think when we look back and we think about the butterfly caterpillar metaphor, it'll make a lot more sense.

We like, oh, of course we were in that. And right now when we're in it, it's really hard to see where we're going. So,

well, you know, there's this

old story of

these

two caterpillars at

the base

of a milkweed plant and [00:59:00] one caterpillar looking up and seeing a butterfly going by and says, man, you'd never get me up

in

one of those things because the caterpillar cannot imagine, cannot visualize itself as a butterfly. And I think that. Without

going new

age. Woo woo. And

I think that to some

extent, new age

woo woo is dead.

Something new is,

being birthed. having been someone who

came of

age during the sixties and certainly lived and breathed that woo woo

I, I do think that we are

moving into a

phase where people will begin to realize that what is imagined. Now, I come back to one of my favorite William Blake quotes, and that is what is now proved was once only

imagined.

and in a way, and I probably said this in the last months

talk here, but in some ways. Neptune creates an invisible scaffolding or framework for Saturn to crystallize the three [01:00:00] dimensional world on. And it's gonna take years for that crystallization to fully manifest.

But the

seed is

planted and

the seed is what creates the rippling out of that crystallization. And so that is what's happening

At

the

end of, or through February and March.

But certainly, toward the end of February

and all through

March is the beginning of the power of that moving

into action. And

I think we need to pay attention to who we

are, what we're doing, how we hold onto integrity, where we're tempted

to not

say anything.

Because not saying

something is always easier than saying something, but what illusion

does that feed that

then will

crystallize into the three dimensional reality?

We don't want.

Mm. I love that. Think of the illusions that you're feeding by even just not saying anything. That's incredible. Rick, where can people find you this month? Are you doing anything cool this month that you want people to know about?

Well, yeah.

Coming

up, I have a couple of things. [01:01:00] Obviously

I'll

be doing Norwalk, which is the Northwest Astrology Conference here in Seattle. And I'll be doing the opening keynote for that and to talk in the conference and a post-conference there.

And separate from that, actually the week before, I'll be in London with Steve Judd, Alex Tino, penny Thornton, and Darby Costello at a three day conference there. and then at the end of the summer is Lilydale and uac,

all of which
