Astro Guide: March 25-31 '26

Welcome to the last week of March 2026—

A week where the "old world" isn't just cracking; it’s dissolving in real-time. If you felt the tremors of mid-March, you know we’ve moved past simple "predictions" and into a full-blown atmospheric shift. Between the energy crisis hitting an all-time high and the absolute dismantling of the U.S. national security narrative, the astrology isn’t just suggesting change—it’s demanding it. We are currently navigating the eye of a cosmic storm where the Sun is activating the heavy, restrictive hand of Saturn and the ego-dissolving waters of Neptune in the fiery, pioneer sign of Aries.

As we watch the systems that were built on exploitation and "traditional" stability begin to buckle under their own weight, we are being forced to ask the hard questions: Who are we outside of these collapsing structures? And what are we willing to build in their place? The transition from the "American Pioneer" illusion to a reality of radical, collective care is messy, uncomfortable, and deeply emotional, but it is the only way forward.

In this breakdown, we’re going to look back at how last week’s transits exposed the hidden rot in our global power dynamics before diving into the day-by-day map of the week ahead. From the Moon’s grounding trines in Cancer to the radicalizing revelations of the Virgo-Pisces opposition, we’ll track how the cosmos is pushing us toward a point of no return. Grab your tea, ground your energy, and let’s get into the guts of this shift—because the smell of the old world burning is getting impossible to ignore.

Retrospective

I made three predictions for the week of March 16-22 [2026] based on that week’s astrology- Let’s see how those panned out. [you can find these predictions on my blog/youtube of that week’s astro guide!]

Prediction 1: "We are bound to see hidden, undisclosed power dynamics and tactics be exposed and disclosed this week."

This prediction was scarily accurate. Just two days after I posted my video, Joe Kent, Director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center, resigned in protest to the war on Iran. In his resignation letter, he stated that Iran did not pose an immediate threat, that there was no intelligence that the country was producing nuclear weapons. He explained more about this situation in an interview with Tucker Carlson. Kent explained how few officials, and thus few opinions, were allowed in discussions about the decision making on whether to start this war. He went on to say that “he believes Israel was able to force the U.S. to act by promising to act first, potentially putting U.S. interests in the region at risk.” (AP News). This dissent against the relationship between the U.S. and Israehell went even further as he spoke about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, saying he was blocked from investigating the matter and that pro-Israehell donor pressure was involved in this blockage. 

His resignation was followed up by Tulsi Gabbard’s (Director of U.S. National Intelligence) and John Ratcliffe’s (CIA Director) testified before the Senate about the war on Iran. Both officials notably dodged direct questions about exit strategies and the specific claims made in Joe Kent's resignation letter regarding foreign influence on U.S. war policy. Their refusal to honestly and clearly answer those questions only further confirms Joe Kent’s claims. 

This prediction was based on my analysis of a grand water trine between Pallas in Pisces, Lilith in Scorpio, and Jupiter in Cancer. Like I said last week, “Pallas in Pisces, Lilith in Scorpio, and Jupiter in Cancer. Pallas in Pisces has to do with creative problem-solving; Lilith in Scorpio has to do with deep, hidden desires and power dynamics; and Jupiter is now stationing direct, thus bringing outward expansion on the home and security front.” Furthermore, this grand water trine occurred the day of the March 18 new moon. So we can absolutely expect this to play out this moon cycle, aka the next three weeks, especially during next week’s full moon. 

Prediction 2: "We are bound to see this 'World War' take shape. We are seeing more solidification of 'teams' this week…'alliances of our dreams and nightmares'... We are seeing more countries uncouple themselves from the U.S."

On March 19, the IRGC claimed to have downed a U.S. F-35. CENTCOM later confirmed the aircraft was "hit and forced into an emergency landing" due to ground fire, marking a major escalation between the two primary opposing "teams.” F-35 jets are known for their advanced stealth design. Thus, the difficulty of this achievement shocked people all over the globe, once again proving Iran’s military prowess and preparedness. Another thing to note, there are reports that Russian intelligence assisted with this. Based on Russia’s support of Iran throughout this entire war, these claims seem highly probable. It is interesting to note though- this pairing’s cooperation against the U.S. will continue to rise.  

The Strait of Hormuz conflict has escalated from a naval blockade to a regional war. Drone and missile strikes targeted energy hubs in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the UAE (specifically Ras Laffan), signaling that the "teams" are now in active kinetic combat. This led Iran to offering safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz to BRICS nations. However, not all BRICS nations are on board with this, let alone supporting Iran in this war. 

While publicly supporting Iran, reports surfaced on March 18 that Beijing has been privately leaning on Tehran to protect its own energy hubs, exposing the hidden friction behind their united front rhetoric. 

While we might not have seen the solidification of alliances last week, we did see both the attempts to create them as well as war developments which will push countries who have not taken a side to pick one. So maybe this prediction was a little early. Last week we saw the energetic initiation of those alliances; the result of those initiations will be solidified in the days surrounding next week’s full moon. 

Prediction 3: "I can't help but feel the economic bubble is going to pop—perhaps the AI bubble, the oil crisis, or both igniting all at once."

Last week was engulfed in historic warnings, with the U.S. taking evasive action. 

On March 19, the World Trade Organization's (WTO) chief economist, Robert Staiger, explicitly warned that prolonged high oil prices from the Middle East conflict could "crimp the AI boom" because AI infrastructure is incredibly energy-intensive. This warning of course is reflected by the UN declaring a global water bankruptcy, marking another climate change tipping point of no return.

In a desperate bid to curb skyrocketing inflation, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent issued a 30-day waiver on Iranian oil "at sea" (140 million barrels). Simultaneously, restrictions on Belarusian potash and banking were eased to stabilize global fertilizer and energy markets. That same day, the International Energy Agency officially labeled the current Gulf crisis as the "largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market." A disruption which will not be resolved anytime soon due to the volatility of the area. 

Secretary-General Guterres warned that the United Nations faces total financial collapse by summer. The U.S. is currently responsible for 95% of the $2.2 billion in unpaid dues, as the administration pivots away from multilateral funding. This will obviously affect UN operations, and further heighten the humanitarian crisis the Global South is facing. 

Following the oil spike to $116/barrel, the market’s "Fear Index" (VIX) jumped to 24 on March 22. Investors are increasingly pricing in the "bubble pop", particularly within the AI and energy-heavy tech sectors.

If I had written this blog post yesterday, I would have said I was a bit early on this prediction as well. However, as I am writing this on March 24th, I am able to take in today’s news about Open AI shutting down it’s Solv video making app, pushing Disney to exit their deal with Open AI. While this happened after the 22nd, this development must have involved discussions over the last week that occurred behind closed doors. Keeping all that in mind, in a lot of ways this prediction was correct. The petrodollar, the AI bubble, and the stability of the global economy, have all been ignited by the unsustainable systems of the U.S. Like the two predictions, we can expect this to play out over the course of this moon cycle, as well as over the year.

The Last Week of March ‘26

This brings us to the last 7 days of March 2026. 

On Wednesday, March 25th…

The Moon enters her home sign of Cancer, amplifying emotional expression and the need for comfort. As she squares Neptune, Saturn, and the Sun in Aries, tension that triggers vulterability surrounding personal/collective goals will likely arise. 

Speaking of, this solar activation of the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries will be a key signature of the end of March ‘26. The Sun, and thus Saturn and Neptune, also sextile Pluto in Aquarius that same day. Not just on this day, but throughout the end of March, the personal and collective shifts and restructuring, as well as the avoidance of such, will be acted upon with vision and fearlessness. 

Collectively speaking, we can expect this Sun-Saturn-Neptune stellium to continue the U.S.’s doubling down on their bullshit- aggression against Cuba and Iran, the Israehell connections to the U.S. government, and the avoiding of Epstein Files prosecution in particular. More on this later. 

Whatever triggers that arise on Wednesday are coming up for you/us to alchemize and heal, so that you/we can use it as fuel for this major shift. At the end of the day Wednesday, the Moon in Cancer trines the North Node and Mercury in Pisces. This is the medicine for the tension. Remember on this day that it is ok to be emotional. Remember that sensitivity is here to guide us, to strengthen us, not to weaken us. While it might not always feel like it, it is much easier to brush off emotions instead of fully feeling them. Allow yourself the time and space those emotions need and listen to what they have to say, so that you can stay grounded and move forward in this shift with clarity.

This brings us to Thursday, March 26th…

The clarity which we were pushed into finding the day prior is put into action on this day. Mama Moon conjoins Jupiter in Cancer and both trine Mars in Pisces. Additionally, Venus conjoins Chiron in Aries. 

Jupiter is the planet of opportunities and growth, and in her exaltation meeting up with the ruler of Cancer. Mars, the planet of drive and aggression, is in the compassionate, vast waters of Pisces. Venus, the planet of love and personal values, meets up with Chiron, the wounded healer, in the fires of Aries.

Whatever personal/collective goals that faced tension on Wednesday are deeply tied to personal and collective expansion. On Thursday, this expansion is mostly internal. However, the internally understood goals and values direct the external action. Reflection on desires, their achievability, and the world/reality in which they stem from will all be heightened not just Thursday but over the weekend. I highly suggest taking some time for introspection surrounding all this on this day.

Which leads to Friday, March 27th…

When the Moon in Cancer squares up with the Venus-Chiron conjunction in Aries and teams up with Uranus in Taurus. This reveals to us that the nature of the mid-week personal goal triggers- these continuingly-clarified personal goals go against conventional systems of stability. A battle which is extremely heightened throughout the end of March, and deeply reflects the energy of the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries.

The Moon’s square with the Venus-Chiron conjunction in Aries and sextile with Uranus in Taurus are Mama Moon’s last moves in Cancer, as she ingresses into Leo just a few hours after. Wednesday’s Moon squares turn into trines, with the Moon in Cancer now trining the Sun, Saturn, and Neptune in Aries. However, the Moon-Pluto sextile of Wednesday transforms into an opposition. 

The necessary changes to make these goals a reality are highly uncomfortable, and there’s clear a desire to cling to what traditionally works. You and I know though that what “traditionally” works is extremely unsustainable. Keeping that in mind, there’s a sense of urgency that will likely quickly arise on Friday and shape the weekend. Individualism vs collectivism, identity issues, and survival wounds will be intensified. If this hits you personally, I recommend doing some introspection to connect more with who you are and what you have to offer outside of capitalistic, individualistic perspectives. I also recommend somatically taking space to release emotions surrounding the ongoing, ceaseless imperial boomerang which is triggering the shifts we’re in the midst of. 

Collectively, we can expect bold moves and whininess from the piggies in reference to the ongoing geopolitical tensions and global crises, as well as overall death throes by collapsing systems. Furthermore, we can expect all this to cumulate into major developments and points of no return surrounding all this, again throughout the weekend.  

On Saturday, March 28th…

There’s a few asteroid transits. Vesta, which symbolizes devotion, is conjoining the North Node, the point of destiny, in Pisces. Ceres, which symbolizes sustenance, in the tactical sign of Capricorn, squares up with the transformational Pluto in Aquarius. And Pallas, which symbolizes strategic intelligence, conjoins Mars in the empathetic sign of Pisces. 

Despite the uncomfiness of this shift and the necessary changes they come with, the path to making this shift a reality is clear. There is a passionate, sacred, interconnected understanding which grounds and directs the goals that have been tested and thought over this week. Goals which, like I mentioned with Friday morning’s astrology, are radical, or rather, radicalizing- they go against the grain of systematic norms. There’s an internal cry for justice which strengthens resolve that is highlighted on Saturday.

Whatever bold moves and whininess from the piggies that shape this weekend will also likely lead to fortifying the collective awakening we are all experiencing. We can expect this to manifest both internally and externally, through internal revelations and external action such as conversations, online debate, protests, sit-ins, strikes, etc. 

This wake up call expands on Sunday, March 29th…

Juno, which symbolizes committed partnerships, ingresses into Aquarius, where she will spend most of the year. This transit will question any and all restrictive, “traditional” ways of relating to one another to ensure mutually respectful, humanitarian relations, pushing to cultivate freedom and growth. 

Additionally on Sunday, the Moon in Leo trines the Venus-Chiron conjunction in Aries, as well as squares Uranus in Taurus. Saturday’s compassionately emboldened resolve for justice will likely be triggered today. We expect more major developments surrounding the global crises stemming from the battle between individualism and collectivism on this day. Furthermore, we can expect personal strikes from the imperial boomerang, likely due to the intensifying energy crisis. 

As the Moon ingresses into Virgo, the latter half of Sunday will be spent processing the internal cry for justice and how that connects to the systems which shape our personal lives. In particular, this processing will probably lead to a deepened understanding of how deeply we are all exploited. Sunday may feel heavy. Ground yourself in your values, intellect, and goals as you sort through the weight. 

Which ushers in Monday, March 30th…

Venus, the planet of love, creativity, desire, pleasure, and values, exits the trailblazingly bold cardinal fire of Aries and ingresses into the fertile, fixed earth sign of Taurus, her home sign. Venus will be here in her domicile until April 23rd [‘26]. Over this period of time, we can expect an increased desire for comfort, physical pleasures, and personal luxuries as well as a heightened focus on long-term stability and loyalty in relationships. 

These increased desires will absolutely be tested though. At the end of Taurus lies Uranus, which Venus will meet up with at the end of her reign in the sign and will bring about sudden changes to how these increased desires played out. And on March 30th, the day she ingresses into Taurus, Venus squares Juno in Aquarius at 0 degrees. Thus, this year’s Venus in Taurus transit is marked by a battle between tangible comforts and humanitarian ideals. We can expect this to manifest as crossing more climate change turning points, intensification of the energy crisis, and call-outs on personally and globally harmful aspects of modern consumption. This battle will take the stage Monday the 30th, subside over the following couple weeks, and then intensify in the couple weeks leading up to the Venus-Uranus conjunction in Taurus.

This uncomfortable energy further intensifies on Monday. Mama Moon in Virgo opposes the North Node as well as Mercury, Virgo’s ruler, in Pisces. The desire for practical application comes to bat with the need to surrender. Rational logic vs intuitive logic. There’s a desire for organization and planning of the goals which were clarified over the last few days, yet traditional organizational and planning methods can’t be fully applied in this scenario. If this hits you personally, recall that you don’t have to have every single detail of your goals planned, especially in the ongoing global crises. Take it a step at a time!

This culminates into the last day of the month, March 31st…

The Moon in Virgo trines Uranus in Taurus and opposes Mars in Pisces.  The desire for practical organization of innovative action continues. This desire is coming up to bat with Mars in Pisces, one of the shadows of which is manipulation. 

With all the ongoing national and global tensions and shifts, the contradictions of late stage capitalism are increasing. More and more people, particularly in America and the Global West, are questioning their futures, realizing most of the work they do daily is upholding the systems causing their personal struggles, with the majority of the payoff going to the worst people on the planet. A truly radicalizing revelation. 

This radicalizing revelation is what Tuesday the 31st is going to be all about. The top one percent will likely double down on the system’s exploitation for the sake of greed. The people of the Global South will continue to face unimaginable suffering due to this greed. And people in America as well as the Global West will likely question the purpose of what they are doing in life and how unaligned that is with their goals and desires. 

As the Moon exits Virgo and ingresses into Libra, a desire for balance arises from the revelations and realizations of the last few days. Given the massive unbalance we are all struggling through, this desired balance obviously takes major work. Similar to Monday, if this hits you personally, focus on small steps. And furthermore, remember it’s not about the destination. It’s about the journey. 

Historical Context

If you want to understand the sheer magnitude of the Sun activating the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries this week, we have to look back at the rotting foundations of the empires that came before us. This is not just a rare transit; it is the cosmic signature of the imperial boomerang finally hitting home. When the Sun (the spark of the "now") lights up the grinding, heavy reality of Saturn and the dissolving, illusion-shattering waters of Neptune in the fiery sign of Aries, the smell of the old world burning becomes impossible to ignore. Historically, this alignment marks the exact moments when failing regimes try to forcefully cement their power, while the collective is simultaneously forced to midwife an entirely new paradigm of survival out of the ashes.

Take 593 BC, a pivotal year in the "Axial Age" and the last time we saw this specific energetic signature spark profound collective shifting. This was the year of Ezekiel's visions during the Babylonian exile. The old world—centered entirely around a physical temple and a centralized religious hierarchy—had been demolished by the ruling empire. The people were displaced, stripped of their systemic identity, and forced to digest the reality of their oppression. But under this Aries conjunction, the people didn't just assimilate; they decentralized. They shifted their spiritual and cultural survival away from a physical institution and into the collective, proving that when the empire destroys your sanctuary, you build a resilient, portable one that the state cannot touch.

Fast forward to 555 AD, when the Byzantine Empire, desperate to cling to its fading glory, tried to claw back the West. Emperor Justinian issued the Pragmatic Sanction—a brutal, Saturnian restructuring meant to forcefully restore "Roman rule" over an exhausted, war-torn Italy. Sound familiar? It’s the ultimate death throe of the 1% trying to legislate their way out of a systemic collapse. Just like the current regime using market circuit breakers to funnel billions into the war machine, the Sun-Saturn-Neptune activation in 555 AD was the empire frantically trying to build a legal fortress over a dissolving, Neptunian reality. It was a pyrrhic victory that ultimately drained the empire, proving that you cannot legislate away the rot of a dying system.

Then we have 1703 AD, perhaps the most literal manifestation of this transit’s shadow side. This was the year Peter the Great founded Saint Petersburg—a capitalist, imperial "Window to the West" built literally on a swamp. He took the watery, unstable marshland (Neptune) and used the brute force, blood, and forced labor of the working class (Saturn/Aries) to build a stone monument to his own ego. It was the ultimate "controlled demolition" of nature and human life to serve a militarized, imperial dream. Today, as we watch fascist leaders try to forcefully restructure a collapsing Department of Homeland Security or build border fortresses in the metaphorical swamp of their own making, we are seeing the exact same desperate architectural scrambling.

But 1703 also brought the Great Storm, the most severe natural disaster in recorded British history, which decimated the Royal Navy and shattered the empire’s fleet. The cosmos—and the earth itself—always strikes back against the hubris of the ruling class. The Saturn-Neptune conjunction isn't just about the empire building its fortress; it's about the undeniable reality of the storm that eventually swallows it. As we sit here in late March 2026, navigating DHS shutdowns, global strikes, and an epistemic crisis triggered by the Epstein Files, we are living in the eye of that exact same storm.

This week, as the Sun crosses this volatile threshold, the piggies at the top are going to double down. You will see attempts to legally cement authoritarian control, forcing a fluid, chaotic mess into a rigid, Aries-style defensive front. But remember: Neptune dissolves the "hero" myth, and Saturn demands accountability. The "American Pioneer" illusion is dead. We were never meant to fit into their stone fortresses, and we are certainly not meant to drown in their swamps. As the system collapses, the cosmos is demanding that we trade our isolation for radical, collective care, taking the fiery, pioneer energy of Aries to organize, resist, and build the world that comes after.

Spiritual Task

So, what is our spiritual task as we navigate this monumental, history-making week? With the Sun illuminating the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries, the task is undeniably heavy, but it is fiercely necessary. We are standing in the wreckage of late-stage capitalism, watching the imperial boomerang finally hit its target. Your first duty to yourself and the collective right now is to refuse the urge to look away. The illusion is dissolving. Let it dissolve. The grief, the anger, and the utter exhaustion you are feeling are not signs of personal failure—they are the rational, somatic responses to a dying system that was designed to exploit you.

Your spiritual task this week is to actively divest your energy from the empire's death throes and redirect it into radical, localized collective care. When the piggies at the top double down on their greed and systemic violence, the most potent spiritual warfare you can engage in is community solidarity. As Venus moves into Taurus and clashes with Juno, you are being called to redefine what "security" actually means. It is no longer about hoarding resources or chasing individualistic milestones dictated by a rotting society. True security is found in how we show up for one another, how we protect the most vulnerable, and how we decentralize our reliance on the institutions that are actively collapsing around us.

Practically, this means giving yourself the grace to process the massive emotional waves rolling in with Mama Moon’s journey through Cancer and Leo. You cannot strategize your way out of an energetic shift of this magnitude without first letting your body feel it. Scream into a pillow, cry over the headlines, take to the streets, or simply rest when the weight of the Global South's suffering and our own domestic unraveling feels too heavy to bear. Remember the medicine of the Pisces energy we are swimming in: your sensitivity is your compass. It is the exact tool you need to stay human in an intensely dehumanizing machine.

Finally, as we close out March with that grounding Virgo Moon, remember to take this revolution one small, tangible step at a time. You do not need to have the blueprint for the entire new world mapped out by Tuesday. The spiritual task is not to instantly fix the geopolitical nightmare; it is to firmly plant your feet in your own radicalizing truth and refuse to be lulled back to sleep. We are midwifing a new paradigm out of the ashes, and while the birth is agonizing, the interconnected, compassionate world waiting on the other side is worth every ounce of the fight. Keep your eyes open, protect your community, and let the empire fall.

Weekly

Shadow Work Prompts & Mantras

1. The Illusion of Individual Safety

• Prompt: Where am I still trying to "strategize" my way into a sense of safety that relies on the very systems I know are collapsing? What specific fear arises when I think about replacing my individualistic milestones with collective ones?

• Mantra: My true security is woven into the well-being of my community.

• Mantra: I release the dead world to make room for the one we are midwifing together.

Somatic Practice: "The Earth-Anchor Release"

Because this week involves the Sun activating Saturn and Neptune in Aries, there is a lot of volatile, "heady" energy that needs to be grounded before it turns into burnout or paralysis.

• The Practice: Stand or sit with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Imagine the "imperial boomerang"—all the collective weight, the headlines, and the systemic pressure—as a heavy, static charge sitting in your shoulders and chest.

• The Movement: Inhale deeply, pulling your shoulders to your ears. On a sharp, audible exhale (a sigh or a growl), drop your shoulders and stomp one foot firmly into the earth. Alternate feet—stomp, stomp, stomp—letting the vibration travel from your heels up to your hips.

• The Purpose: This moves the energy out of the "Aries" head and "Saturnian" rigidness, grounding it into the "Taurus/Virgo" earth. It signals to your nervous system that while the world is shaking, your feet are planted. Finish by placing both hands on your heart and taking three slow breaths, acknowledging that you are alive, you are here, and you are human.
