March 2026
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
This month there are three planets in Aries, and shortly after the Sun will enter. That means a lot of energy for Aries with Neptune and Saturn giving you insights and Venus making you happy. Just be careful of intellectual confusion as Mercury is running retrograde. It should not be a problem as the other planets and the Sun far outweigh the influence of Mercury. Just be careful of your communication skills. This is your birthday month, and so remember your parents and say thank you to them. They deserve it.
Aries Buddhists love to be motivators. This month you can make powerful decisions, just be careful of misunderstanding the goals you have.
TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
This month you have the Sun, Mercury and Mars are stimulating you. These are all secondary influences as these planets are moving through Pisces. Remember astrology influences you according to the environment you are living in and are creating by your decisions. Those in the northern hemisphere are awakening to spring. Taurus loves to work and springtime is a good time to start new projects.
Taurus Buddhists love to be grounded and practical. This month basically do any positive action you wish to be involved in. There are no problems except the ones you make for yourself by not being mindful.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
This month starts with some problems but by mid-month it all turns around and is positive. The problem is the Sun, Mercury and Mars are square to Gemini. Just be mindful of your sensitivity. Don’t overreact to situations. Basically, this month is not difficult, just be mindful of what you do. Use the Buddhist idea of “Peace in every step.” This applies mostly to your thoughts and understanding, as Mercury is square and retrograde.
Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. This month your mind may be overly active for the first two weeks. Do calm abiding meditation. Mid-month be more careful as the Sun will square Uranus, thus more confusion if you are not aware.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
This month you have the power of the Sun, Mercury and Mars are helping you be powerful and decisive. They are well aspected to Jupiter, which gives you the enthusiasm to do many things. They are harmoniously positioned to your sign, except for a retrograde Mercury. That is not a problem if you exercise your wisdom and do not just jump to false conclusions.
Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month do activities that are positive and beneficial for others. That is not astrological advice. That is just plain “good karma advice.”
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
This month you are in a nice neutral position. No planets are in Leo. You do have Pluto opposite Leo, which could cause some deeper feelings to surface. Focus on your faith in the Buddha Dharma and the aspect will be benefical. You could be the life of the party if you are social situations. Therefore, do as you wish. Be compassionately mindful irrespective of where you are or what you are doing. Mindfulness is the Buddhist protection against suffering and delusion.
Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. This month practice mindfulness in all actions. Cultivate awareness that benefits both you and others. An enlightened motivation guarantees success, even if there is failure in some actions.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
This month you have the power of the Sun, Mars and Mercury helping you from Aries. That stimulates a lot of energy in all your actions. Do be careful of trying to control things too much. Reason is Mercury is running retrograde all month. That can cause the desire to be a micro-manager. Lighten up if you feel stress. I would recommend some forethought about what projects you wish to start. You have a lot of energy and could overextend yourself.
Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. This month be mindful of your enthusiasm, it could make too much work for you. If you manage your energy, then you will feel happy as the month goes by.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
This month the main thing is Neptune and Saturn opposite Libra. That is great for meditation, contemplation and mindfulness. The reason is those activities control the negative effect of Neptune and Saturn. They could make your wish for better situations by being judgmental. The positive influence is to be thoughtful and insightful. Therefore, slow down and think about what is important in your life and stabilize those goals.
Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. This month be peaceful, contemplative and friendly.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
This month the big thing is the Sun, Mercury and Mars are all well aspected to your sign, with Uranus opposite. This is excellent supportive energy for anything you wish to do. Remember that distractions are because of lacking mindfulness not because of external problems. This could come about as Mercury is retrograde, but your mindfulness will stop that effect. If you give your power to trying to control the external world, then you will never solve your problems. Inner wisdom solves all problems.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month you have great energy. Be mindful of your desires and slow down. The grass is green where you are, you just have to look for it.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
This month starts slowly but ends with lots of energy. That is because the Sun, Saturn and Neptune will come well aspected and conjunct in the last ten days of March. This will only last for ten days though and so utilize the energy to do good things. Astrology is an influence, but you are the creator of your life. Do positive things and the astrological aspects will support you. The nice thing is Venus is well aspected and that gives you happiness. Enjoy the stimulation.
Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. This month be mindful and happy. Recognize how to use your wisdom to deal effectively with emotions. Every moment can awaken new realizations.
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
This month has lots of good energy, Jupiter is opposite to Capricorn. This is added to the Sun’s good aspect too. That gives you a lot of power. This will be enhances with Mercury and Mars coming well aspected to Jupiter in the last weeks. Remember that astrology is not the only source of stimulation in your life. Your attitude and mindfulness are far more important as the creators of your life’s activities.
Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions. This time be at peace with yourself, you have a lot of power you need to use correctly.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
This month you Pluto in Aquarius with good aspects to Neptune, Venus and Saturn. Then in the last week of March, you will the Sun well aspected from Aries. Saturn is a good planet for Buddhists. It stimulates thoughtful reflection. Add Neptune for some altruism and your meditations on Bodhicitta can be very stimulating. Use this time to meditate more than normal.
Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. This month meditate and then meditate again. Great time for insights, not superficial ones, deep ones.
PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
This month is the birthday month. You have the Sun, Mars and Mercury in your sign. Be a little careful of distracting thoughts as Mercury is running retrograde most of the month. It should not be a problem if you have mindfulness in place. That removes distracting thoughts and you merely return to your breath to settle the mind down. Remember your parents this month, as they are the real source of this rebirth and deserve a thank you. Because of the rebirth you met the Dharma, you are so lucky.
Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective. This month enjoy the birthday party and be full of love. Love and compassion are always good things to wear at any gathering.
