Weekly Mundane Astrological Climate - Week of March 2 to 8, 2026

Introduction

You can view global aspects for any day and time using the Transits application, in simple chart mode after deselecting angular aspects in the form. Positions and aspects are calculated from Monday to Sunday at 12:00 PM UT.

The orb for major planetary aspects is set at three degrees. For the true North Node and Lilith, true positions are used. Minor aspects are excluded from interpretation due to their limited influence.

Planetary aspects shape the global context, influencing politics, economics, and social trends. Lunar aspects are not included here, as their brevity makes them too fleeting for a weekly analysis.

The same applies to the North Node, Lilith, and Chiron, whose influence through aspects remains insufficiently demonstrated.

This is not a personal horoscope but a form of mundane astrology highlighting planetary influence on a collective scale.

The week of March 2 to March 8, 2026 unfolds in an atmosphere still largely dominated by Pisces, with the Sun, retrograde Mercury, and Mars now established in this sign beginning March 3. This planetary concentration heightens collective sensitivity, emphasizes emotional dynamics, and calls for adjustments in perspective based on elements that may still be diffuse or in the process of clarification. The overall climate is shaped by a significant number of short-term aspects, introducing noticeable nuances into evolving relational and strategic dynamics.

The trine from the Sun and Mercury to Jupiter supports a search for coherence and openness, despite the review phase associated with Mercury's retrograde motion. At the same time, the multiple aspects involving Venus, moving between Pisces and Aries, highlight emotional adjustments, necessary clarifications, and more assertive impulses toward the end of the week. The square between Mars and Uranus, active early in the period, maintains an underlying tension that may trigger swift reactions in response to constraints or material resistance.

The Moon, moving from Leo to Virgo, then from Libra to Scorpio, significantly modulates the collective atmosphere. After an expressive and demonstrative tone at the very beginning of the week, the climate shifts toward greater discernment and a search for relational balance, before moving toward the end of the period into a more pronounced and strategically oriented emotional intensity.

Planetary Positions and Aspects – Short-Term

Planetary Positions – Fleeting Influences

  • The Sun, from 11°55' to 17°55' Pisces, continues its progression through Pisces, emphasizing an overall tone marked by sensitivity, receptivity, and the importance of emotional or symbolic dimensions. The collective climate favors intuition, imagination, and empathic dynamics, with heightened attention to feelings and surrounding atmospheres. This configuration supports creativity and inspiration, while making reference points more fluid and directions less clearly defined.
  • Mercury, from 21°10'Я to 15°49'Я Pisces, continues its retrograde phase in Pisces, maintaining a climate of review in matters related to communication, information, and mental processes. Thought maintains an intuitive and global orientation, yet perceptions may become more hesitant, more permeable, or subject to reconsideration, with an increased need to clarify nuances. This movement reinforces the importance of verifying data, rephrasing ideas, and revisiting recent decisions in order to refine understanding and prevent misunderstandings.
  • Venus, from 25°05' Pisces to 2°33' Aries, completes its passage through Pisces before changing signs on Friday, March 6, significantly altering the relational and emotional tone. In Pisces, it highlights compassion, idealization, and the search for harmony, with increased sensitivity to atmospheres and emotional needs. Its entry into Aries then introduces a more direct and spontaneous dynamic, in which initiative and the assertion of emotional impulses take greater prominence, possibly leading to more immediate or less conciliatory reactions.
  • Mars, from 29°56' Aquarius to 4°39' Pisces, concludes its transit through Aquarius before entering Pisces on Tuesday, March 3, shifting the style of action and the way energy is mobilized. At the very end of Aquarius, the impulse remains oriented toward innovation, experimentation, and independent choices, with a desire to break away from certain frameworks. Its entry into Pisces then directs effort toward less linear, more inspired or subtle objectives, encouraging intuition, adaptability, and indirect action, while also exposing the risk of dispersion if motivation lacks clarity.
  • The Moon, from 29°41' Leo to 16°14' Scorpio, moves successively through Leo, Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio, significantly modulating the collective atmosphere. In Leo, at the beginning of the week, it emphasizes emotional expression, assertion, and a more demonstrative tone. Its passage through Virgo strengthens discernment, attention to detail, and the pursuit of efficiency, before Libra steers the climate toward relational balance, diplomacy, and the search for agreements. Finally, its entry into Scorpio, beginning Saturday, March 7, intensifies emotional depth, issues of control, and transformative dynamics.

Planetary Aspects of the Week – Short-Term Climate

  • The Sun (Pisces) trine Jupiter (Cancer) establishes a more confident and supportive climate, encouraging measured optimism, generosity, and a broadening of perspectives. Initiatives benefit from natural backing, with an enhanced ability to recognize opportunities and mobilize support. This aspect favors constructive efforts and inspired projects, while calling for moderation to avoid overconfidence or disproportionate enthusiasm.
  • Mercury (Pisces) trine Jupiter (Cancer), despite Mercury's retrograde motion, facilitates overall understanding and the ability to step back from situations. Exchanges gain in goodwill and openness, with an aptitude for connecting information and deriving broader meaning. This configuration supports adjustments and sound decisions, provided that rigor and attention to detail are maintained.
  • Venus (Pisces) conjunct Saturn (Aries) introduces a tone of seriousness, selectivity, and clarification in relationships and in emotional or financial choices. The demand for coherence increases, along with the need to set boundaries, define a framework, or verify the solidity of a commitment. This aspect favors considered decisions and realistic adjustments, even if it may cool spontaneous expressions of feeling or heighten restraint.
  • Venus (Pisces) sextile Uranus (Taurus) brings a breath of renewal and spontaneity, encouraging original encounters, bold initiatives, and creative adjustments in relational or material matters. Developments tend to unfold through gradual refinements rather than abrupt breaks, with a search for space, freedom, and new solutions. This aspect supports inventiveness, while still requiring a degree of underlying stability.
  • Venus (Pisces) conjunct Neptune (Aries) heightens sensitivity, inspiration, and idealization, coloring connections with a more intuitive and emotional tone. Imagination and the desire for fusion or emotional resonance become more prominent, potentially fostering artistic impulses, compassion, and subtle rapprochements. This aspect nonetheless calls for a minimum of lucidity in order to avoid projections, misunderstandings, or excessive concessions.
  • Venus (Aries) sextile Pluto (Aquarius) intensifies emotional impulses and the dynamics of desire, with a drive to transform the way one commits, chooses, or negotiates. Bonds may gain in candor and depth, encouraging clear decisions and swift repositioning. This aspect supports constructive reforms in relational or financial matters, while possibly amplifying a tendency toward control or the radicalization of certain expectations.
  • Mars (Aquarius) square Uranus (Taurus) heightens a climate of tension and unpredictability, with a tendency toward abrupt reactions, impulsive initiatives, and resistance to constraints. The energy of action may clash with material realities or established structures, potentially leading to conflicts, blockages, or sudden shifts in direction. This aspect nevertheless stimulates the drive for change and necessary reassessments, while requiring careful management of impatience and excess haste.

Planetary Positions – Medium-Term Climate

  • Mars, from 29°56' Aquarius to 4°39' Pisces, completes its passage through Aquarius before entering Pisces on Tuesday, March 3, significantly altering the collective dynamic of action. At the very end of Aquarius, energy remains oriented toward experimentation, independence, and innovative initiatives, with a willingness to break away from certain established frameworks. Its entry into Pisces then redirects action toward more diffuse, intuitive, or strategic objectives, encouraging adaptability and inspiration, while exposing the risk of dispersion if intentions lack clarity.
  • Jupiter, from 15°13'Я to 15°06'Я Cancer, continues its retrograde motion, maintaining a climate of review regarding themes of protection, security, and collective cohesion. Expansive dynamics turn inward, inviting consolidation of family, social, or institutional foundations rather than the pursuit of rapid growth. This phase supports the adjustment of long-term strategies and the strengthening of existing bases, with increased caution in major decisions.
  • True Lilith, from 25°02' to 13°53'Я Sagittarius, slows down and turns retrograde on Tuesday, March 3, intensifying a movement of reassessment concerning collective convictions, beliefs, and ideals. The underlying dynamic shifts toward a more critical examination of prevailing values and dominant narratives, encouraging questioning that is more internal than overtly demonstrative. This configuration may heighten latent ideological tensions and the radicalization of certain positions, while also opening space for reflection on the coherence between proclaimed principles and lived realities.

Planetary Positions – Long-Term Climate

  • Saturn, from 1°54' to 2°38' Aries, continues its progression through Aries, confirming the establishment of a new long-term cycle oriented toward initiative, decision-making, and the implementation of emerging dynamics. The collective climate places greater emphasis on responsibility in action, the clarification of priorities, and the need to frame spontaneous impulses. This configuration encourages a more direct organization of efforts and a determination to lay solid foundations, while imposing heightened demands for rigor and coherence in collective commitments.
  • Uranus, from 27°46' to 27°55' Taurus, continues its direct motion in Taurus, further unfolding its transformative effects in material, economic, and environmental domains. The collective climate remains marked by concrete adjustments aimed at reforming systems of security and resource management. This dynamic favors the emergence of innovative solutions and pragmatic repositioning, even if resistance to change remains noticeable.
  • Neptune, from 1°06' to 1°19' Aries, advances through the early degrees of Aries, confirming the opening of a new long-term cycle colored by idealism and uncertainty. The collective climate combines a drive toward initiative with areas that remain unclear regarding the direction to follow. This phase accompanies a need for momentum and the mobilization of ideals, even if the contours of this impulse are still in the process of definition.
  • Pluto, from 4°34' to 4°44' Aquarius, continues the establishment of major transformations affecting collective organizations, networks, and power structures. The changes underway unfold within an irreversible long-term dynamic, with a gradual questioning of established systems. The climate remains characterized by a demand for strategic lucidity and the reinvention of collective frameworks.
  • Chiron, from 24°07' to 24°25' Aries, accompanies a collective process of repair related to assertion, initiative, and the capacity to act. The climate highlights vulnerabilities connected to action and confidence, while encouraging a more direct awareness of these sensitive areas. This dynamic supports the gradual integration of revealed tensions, with the possibility of turning vulnerabilities into levers for adjustment and maturation.
  • The True North Node, from 8°59' to 8°55'Я Pisces, turns retrograde on Tuesday, March 3, marking a shift in the collective directional dynamic. This change of motion signals a phase of reassessment concerning symbolic priorities and evolving reference points, revisiting issues already set in motion. This development favors a more conscious integration of recent experiences and a gradual clarification of the collective meaning to be given to unfolding events.

Long-Term Planetary Aspects – Enduring Trends

For the week of March 2 to March 8, 2026, the underlying sky recenters around four long-term configurations dominated by the Saturn–Neptune conjunction in Aries. This conjunction continues to leave its imprint by seeking to translate ideals still in formation into more deliberate, committed dynamics oriented toward concrete action.

The harmonious exchanges between Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto maintain strategic coherence, blending inspiration, transformation, and a capacity for gradual adaptation. The absence of the Saturn–Uranus sextile now tightens the dynamic around more demanding adjustments, where initiative must rely on a clear vision and a conscious determination. This phase confirms the establishment of a cycle unfolding over the long term, marked by a firm intention to reshape collective frameworks.

  • Saturn (Aries) conjunction Neptune (Aries) marks a phase of profound reorganization of symbolic and institutional reference points, with a dynamic oriented toward impulse and implementation. Ideals are confronted with concrete realities, while a stronger need emerges to provide direction to aspirations still in the process of definition.
  • Saturn (Aries) sextile Pluto (Aquarius) strengthens the capacity to transform collective frameworks durably through deliberate and strategic decisions. It supports a gradual assumption of control over processes of change, with an increased determination to reshape organizations, rules, and balances at a deep level, without yielding to haste.
  • Uranus (Taurus) sextile Neptune (Aries) connects innovation and inspiration within a more proactive dynamic. This aspect encourages creative solutions applicable to the collective and promotes the emergence of new approaches capable of translating intuition and vision into concrete and progressive transformations.
  • Neptune (Aries) sextile Pluto (Aquarius) acts upon collective consciousness by instilling a more deliberate and assertive dynamic of transformation. It supports a gradual shift in social reference points and the integration of new paradigms, with a tendency to initiate rather than merely accompany ongoing developments.

Conclusion

The week of March 2 to March 8, 2026 concludes in a more introspective climate than it appeared at the beginning of the period, with the Pisces emphasis now reinforced by Mars' presence in this sign and by Mercury's ongoing retrograde motion. Venus' entry into Aries nevertheless introduces a more direct and deliberate tone into relational dynamics, suggesting a gradual shift from sensitive adjustment to a more explicit assertion of intentions.

The Moon in Scorpio at the end of the week deepens the stakes and underscores the need to clarify power dynamics, attachments, or strategic priorities. The atmosphere gains in intensity, encouraging realizations and clearer repositioning after the phases of balance and observation that characterized the preceding days.

In the background, the long-term configurations between Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto continue their ongoing work of transformation, now without the support of the Saturn–Uranus sextile. The collective dynamic moves toward a more deliberate and coherent shift in reference points, placing this period within a deeper process set to unfold more clearly in the weeks ahead.
