Your Weekend Astrology
Mars is inspiring us to take action and make forward movement happen. Mars, the planet of energy, desire and action is entering the sign of Pisces on March 2nd 2026. Mars in Pisces is like a mermaid swimming toward shore, she uses the energy and momentum of sea to help her swim but she also harnesses the strength and force of her own will. We must allow the flow of the Universe to help us get going as we realign with our own inner power, strength and will. Somewhere in our lives it’s time to swim to the safe shore.
Mars is a knight and a warrior. Yet Mars in Pisces is said to be lazy by many Astrologers. I completely disagree. Mars in Pisces is smart. He knows how and when to use force. He knows when to fight and when to go with the flow. He watches the waves and knows exactly when to jump in. Yes, Mars in Pisces is often led by their heart and emotions, but an aligned Mars in Pisces knows how to manage their inner waves. Mars in Pisces is the surfer that knows how to ride the wave. Right now, we have an opportunity to tap into our Soul’s wisdom and know how to swim and ride the waters of life.
This weekend is preparing us for its entry as well as the upcoming Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Virgo. Both Mars and the Lunar Eclipse will be activating the Mercury Retrograde in Pisces as well as all the energies we’ve been working through in the House of Pisces in your chart when Saturn was in Pisces and when Neptune was in Pisces. Now the understanding of the lessons is rising in our awareness. Whatever we’ve been working through since 2011-2026 and 2023-2026, is activated again for one last time. Notice your life then and now. Notice any placements in your Virgo and Pisces houses.
Mercury Retrograde in Pisces is asking us to think, meditate and reflect on the lessons learned thus far. Mercury in mythology was able to go to the darkest places in the Universe and rise to the highest peaks of Light in the Kingdom of God. He is the Messenger. He is able to show us what we have learned in our darkest moments and how to put into good use what we have learned about ourselves and about life. We are delivered from darkness so we may become Light. There is Light, wisdom, and choice entering your life right now. If you don’t like the current outcomes, change your perspective and your actions.
Mars will be working with Mercury to gives us insight and understanding so we may know what actions to take. We may need to change our approach or take a different direction. Mars in Pisces moves with rhythm and pace like waves in the sea. It’s movements are often not linear. So we may need to think outside the box, step out of our routine and figure a new way of doing things.
Take your time. From now until the Sun enters Aries, we have time to explore what all this means in our lives. The Mercury Retrograde period is a time to review, analyze and think things through. Slow down and watch carefully what life is asking of you right now. Your life is speaking to you. Notice what it is saying. Notice what needs attending right now. Be mindful about your thoughts, words and actions.
There’s a powerful quote by Rumi that comes to mind, He says: “Don’t go back to sleep.” The warning with current energies in Pisces is that we may go back to a way of being or doing things that doesn’t serve us. Once you know, once you see, and once you are aware. Be awake. Remain awake. Open your eyes and ears and keep them open. Don’t go back to sleep. Don’t repeat the same patterns and actions that somewhere in your life got you lost in the first place. Don’t let the waves keep hitting you against the rocks, decide to swim to shore. Mars teaches us to save ourselves. Somewhere in your life you are the Hero of your story. Don’t get catch up in the waves. It’s time to swim.
Mars and Mercury are asking us to be smart about the ways we swim with the currents of life. Keep your wits about you. Slow down. Pay attention. You are almost there…keep going.
