March 2026 horoscopes: Emotional resets and flirty comebacks in store

March is basically an emotional reset button. As we (try to) wrap up winter and ease into spring, the stars are serving Mercury retrograde confusion mixed with chaotic eclipse energy, so be patient with yourself and your lovers. People may be feeling extra sensitive, distracted, and emotional, so a little tenderness can go a long way. The week of the lunar eclipse on March 3rd is a cathartic time to express whatever’s been brewing in your heart since Mercury retrograde started last month.

Venus enters red-hot Aries on March 6th, so don’t be shy when it comes to prioritizing your pleasure, especially throughout the middle of the month. The March 18th new moon is basically a romantic refresh. Leave room for sweet surprises, heart-expanding upgrades, and brand new romances, just in time for spring! Speaking of which, the spring equinox hits on March 20th, and Mercury retrograde ends the very same day, making everything feel like a fresh new start. Go give someone a kiss, get real with your situationship, or go out and start flirting. By the end of March, you’ll feel like a brand new baddie.

Pisces

February 19th - March 19th

Mars enters your sign on March 2nd, giving you a major libido boost that’ll last all month long. The lunar eclipse the following day could catalyze an emotional turning point in your closest relationships, prompting you to express your feelings more openly and let go of baggage from your past. The new moon in your sign on March 18th is the perfect time to make a romantic birthday wish. Once spring begins, you might find it’s easier to manifest your wilder dreams.

Aries

March 20th - April 19th

Happy birthday, Aries! Your romantic life may have felt a little sluggish lately, but you’re glowing up once amorous Venus starts lighting up your sign on March 6th. Your energy will be especially enchanting now, so channel your charm toward whomever’s been dancing through your fantasies lately. Your birthday season begins on March 20th, and you’ll feel more like yourself than you have in a long time. Be authentic and you’ll attract all the right attention.

Taurus

April 20th - May 20th

A wildly passionate lunar eclipse kicks off the month with romantic intensity. If there’s someone or something that really lights your fire, the whole first week of March is a good time to make your move, even if it feels a little out of your comfort zone. The new moon two weeks later is perfect for getting clear on your romantic vision. Do you want partnership, autonomy, or a relationship that honors both? Picture it in detail. The more honest you are about what you want, the easier it will be to build something that actually fits. You’ve learned to play by your own rules, so don’t give up your independence.

Gemini

May 21st - June 20th

The lunar eclipse on March 3rd may stir up some serious nostalgia. You could find yourself replaying old memories, old texts, or even old crushes. If your heart feels like it’s time-traveling, pause before acting on it. Missing someone doesn’t always mean you need them back. Some good old fashioned flirting might be exactly what gets you out of your head. Plan a mid-month meet-cute with your crush or hit the town with friends and see what (or who) catches your eye. Once the spring equinox hits, it’ll be easier to leave the past behind and open your heart to a new beginning.

Cancer

June 21st - July 22nd

You may be feeling a little more sexually and romantically adventurous than usual this month. If curiosity strikes, explore it in ways that feel safe, mutual, and aligned with your values. You never know what you’ll discover about yourself when you experiment with your desires. The new moon on March 18th is a great time to get out and experience something new, whether that’s with a partner or flying solo. The world is big and full of possibilities, so don’t settle for less than you deserve.

Leo

July 23rd - August 22nd

The lunar eclipse on March 3rd asks you to explore your relationship with pleasure. Are you judging your own desires more often than you’re indulging them? The first half of the month invites you to untangle your deeper feelings, so lead with honesty and vulnerability in your relationships and with yourself. By the spring equinox, you’ll feel like yourself again, so get out there and be a little braver with your heart.

Virgo

August 23rd - September 22nd

Relationships are a big theme for you this month, and thanks to Mercury retrograde, you’ve got the chance to revisit unfinished business with lovers and pave the way for a more aligned romantic future.

The new moon two weeks later will feel like a refresh for your love life, so get ready for a sweet and sultry spring.

Libra

September 23rd - October 22nd

Your love life gets infused with more sweetness and tenderness starting March 6th, when romantic Venus hits your relationship zone.

You’ll have more clarity around what you’d like to commit to mid-month. Once bold-hearted Aries season begins on March 20th, it’ll be easier to confidently assert your needs.

Scorpio

October 23rd - November 21st

Once the spring equinox hits, you’ll be ready to get out and start flirting your way into a fresh spring fling or spice up a relationship with an added dose of passion.

Capricorn

December 22nd - January 19th

Mercury retrograde might stir up small misunderstandings early in the month. Give conversations some breathing room, and resist the urge to take every delay to heart.The days following the lunar eclipse on March 3rd are great for clearing the air and bonding through an honest heart-to-heart. The new moon two weeks later gives you a chance to act on all the emotional energy you’ve been processing, bringing your love life more depth and less distance.

Aquarius

January 20th - February 18th

The lunar eclipse on March 3rd kicks off the month with a major dose of honesty, allowing you to break free from what’s been holding you back and express the feelings you’ve been afraid to say aloud. It might be an intense week, but all that emotional intimacy will also up your desire for physical pleasure, so set aside some sensual time with yourself (or a lover), especially around the new moon on March 18th. You’re getting to know your desires better than ever.
