This week’s horoscopes (for 9–15 March 2026) sit in a transitional stretch of the month.
Mercury remains retrograde in Pisces until 20 March, a period astrologers commonly associate with delays, crossed wires and the need to review details instead of rushing ahead.
Jupiter, which has been retrograde in Cancer, turns direct on 10 March, and the week’s main lunar checkpoint is the Last Quarter Moon on 11 March, a phase that is generally linked with review, correction and finishing what is no longer working before the next New Moon.
In simple terms, this is a week about slowing down, correcting course and making smarter decisions with better information.
Horoscope readings for this week: Here’s what you must know
Note: These horoscopes are based on general sun-sign interpretations and offer broad guidance rather than personalised birth-chart readings.
Aries (21 Mar – 19 Apr)
Aries is likely to feel this week as a test of patience. Mercury retrograde in Pisces can make instructions, promises and plans feel less solid than they first appear, so this is not the best week to assume everyone is on the same page. Jupiter turning direct helps restore confidence, but that confidence needs structure to be useful.
The Last Quarter Moon points to a need to cut out distractions and focus on what is practical. In everyday terms, Aries does best this week by double-checking messages, trimming unnecessary commitments and acting only on information that has been confirmed.
Taurus (20 Apr – 20 May)
Taurus moves through a week that favours careful planning over speed. The sky pattern suggests that conversations around money, responsibilities or shared expectations may need revisiting. Mercury retrograde in Pisces can make people vague or overly emotional in how they explain themselves, which means Taurus benefits from getting the details in writing.
Jupiter turning direct may slowly improve morale and momentum, but the Last Quarter Moon suggests that some obligations need to be dropped or simplified first. This week is strongest when Taurus chooses stability, routine and clear boundaries over trying to please everyone.
Gemini (21 May – 20 Jun)
Gemini, ruled by Mercury, is one of the signs most likely to notice the retrograde strongly. This can show up as changed plans, misunderstood wording, delayed replies or the need to revisit a decision that seemed settled. The useful side of this week is that it helps expose weak points in a plan before they become larger problems.
Jupiter turning direct can help lift uncertainty around longer-term emotional or financial matters, but not instantly. The message for Gemini is simple: ask follow-up questions, read the fine print and do not confuse movement with progress. A slower week can still be a productive one if the focus is on accuracy.
Cancer (21 Jun – 22 Jul)
Cancer may feel a shift in emotional pressure this week. Jupiter has been retrograde in Cancer and turns direct on 10 March, which astrologically points to a gradual return of confidence, perspective and steadier growth. That does not cancel out Mercury retrograde, however, so this is still a week where details matter and assumptions can create problems.
The Last Quarter Moon supports reflection on what has recently been revealed, especially around work-rest balance, personal energy and emotional boundaries. Cancer benefits this week from slowing the pace, protecting rest and choosing clarity over emotional guesswork.
Leo (23 Jul – 22 Aug)
Leo’s week places emphasis on relationships, reputation and how messages are delivered. Mercury retrograde in Pisces can make tone difficult to judge, which means even well-meant comments can land awkwardly if they are not framed carefully. Jupiter turning direct helps create a stronger sense of direction in the background, while the Last Quarter Moon asks Leo to release one draining pattern, commitment or expectation that is no longer giving a real return.
This is a better week for repairing and refining than for launching something major. Leo gains more from listening closely and responding carefully than from trying to dominate the room.
Virgo (23 Aug – 22 Sep)
Virgo is likely to feel the week through routines, workload and daily systems. The recent Full Moon and lunar eclipse in Virgo earlier in the month were already linked by astrologers with work, health and habit changes, and the Last Quarter Moon now shifts the focus toward sorting out what stays and what goes.
Mercury retrograde adds another layer by increasing the chance of missed details, mixed instructions or technical hiccups. For Virgo, this week works best when life is made simpler. Fewer tasks, clearer lists and extra time for revisions are likely to produce better results than trying to be overly efficient.
Libra (23 Sep – 22 Oct)
Libra enters a week that asks for realism in both relationships and personal priorities. Venus and Saturn were in conjunction at the start of this weekly cycle, and Cafe Astrology describes that pairing as one that stabilises feelings, increases realism and can bring financial discipline or a more serious tone to relationships.
Combined with Mercury retrograde, this suggests that Libra may need to revisit an agreement, redefine expectations or become more honest about what is sustainable.
The Last Quarter Moon supports editing rather than expanding. Libra benefits from choosing what is fair and workable, not what simply keeps the peace in the short term.
Scorpio (23 Oct – 21 Nov)
Scorpio’s theme this week is emotional precision. Pisces season and Mercury retrograde in Pisces can heighten instinct, sensitivity and gut feeling, but they can also blur facts.
That means Scorpio may sense that something is off before the evidence is fully visible. The useful move is to verify, not just assume. Jupiter turning direct can gradually improve mood and perspective around bigger life plans, while the Last Quarter Moon encourages a clean-up of emotional clutter, unfinished conversations and habits that keep repeating the same frustration. Scorpio is likely to have a stronger week by simplifying reactions and dealing with one issue at a time.
Sagittarius (22 Nov – 21 Dec)
Sagittarius is likely to feel tension between wanting movement and needing to slow down. Mercury retrograde tends to frustrate rushed travel, scheduling and communication, and Pisces energy can make timelines feel loose or hard to pin down.
Jupiter, Sagittarius’s ruling planet, turning direct is an important change because it suggests that the broader sense of growth begins to move again after months of review.
Even so, this week is not about dramatic leaps. The Last Quarter Moon is a review phase. Sagittarius does best by rechecking bookings, confirming arrangements and adjusting expectations where the facts have changed.
Capricorn (22 Dec – 19 Jan)
Capricorn’s strength this week lies in disciplined revision. The sky supports practical thinking, but only if Capricorn resists the temptation to push ahead while details are still shifting. Mercury retrograde in Pisces can create confusion in conversations, timelines or responsibilities, especially where people assume others understood more than they actually did.
Jupiter turning direct may gradually support home, family or emotional matters, but the immediate task is still review. The Last Quarter Moon suggests closing gaps in planning, correcting weak systems and getting honest about what is no longer efficient.
Capricorn is likely to get better results from one careful correction than from five rushed actions.
Aquarius (20 Jan – 18 Feb)
Aquarius moves through a week where ideas may be strong but timing remains uneven. Mercury retrograde can distort wording and expectations, so group plans, collaborations or messages sent quickly may need a second look. Jupiter turning direct can help lift a sense of mental or emotional stagnation, and that may make new possibilities look more attractive by the middle of the week.
Still, the Last Quarter Moon is not generally treated as a strong launching phase. It is better for reassessment. Aquarius benefits from refining goals, clarifying language and making sure practical steps match the bigger vision.
Pisces (19 Feb – 20 Mar)
Pisces is at the centre of much of this week’s astrology because the Sun is in Pisces and Mercury is retrograde in Pisces until 20 March. Cafe Astrology notes that Mercury in Pisces is linked with thinking and communication that are more intuitive, emotional and imaginative, but less linear. That can be helpful for creativity and reflection, but not ideal for assuming facts are settled.
The Last Quarter Moon points to a review of personal priorities, while Jupiter turning direct can slowly improve confidence in decisions connected to comfort, security and self-worth. Pisces has a stronger week by moving gently, checking details twice and choosing rest where confusion is high.
