Horoscopes: March 16 – March 22
This week, the Sun steps in to help smooth out the chaos Mercury retrograde has been stirring up—think miscommunication, delays, and general confusion. We start the week feeling a strong urge to transform what’s no longer serving us, but thanks to the Moon in Scorpio squaring Pluto in Aquarius, it might feel like a classic case of the Monday blues. By March 18, the Moon trines Mars in Cancer, giving us the energy to take action and restore balance. March 19 brings an intuitive boost as the Sun conjuncts Neptune in Pisces, helping us align with our values and beliefs. Then, on March 20, we officially kick off the astrological new year as the Sun enters Aries—expect clarity and forward momentum, though some tensions may rise as the Moon opposes Jupiter on the same day. The week ends with a bit of emotional friction on March 21, as the Moon in Sagittarius squares Saturn in Pisces, making responsibilities feel at odds with what we truly want. Stay grounded and ride the wave to clarity.
