In episode 526 of The Astrology Podcast we look ahead at the astrological forecast for March of 2026, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock.
We are coming off the heels of some incredibly momentous planetary alignments, so we spend the first half of the episode doing a deep dive into recent news events to see how the astrology has been manifesting before transitioning into our breakdown of the transits for the month ahead.
In the news segment, we explore the impact of the exact Saturn-Neptune conjunction, particularly how it has been revealing things that were previously concealed, most notably with the release of the Epstein files. We also discuss how the recent eclipse magnified Pluto’s transit through Aquarius, accelerating themes around AI agents, humanoid robotics, and discussions of extraterrestrial life. Finally we note the astrology surrounding the very serious geopolitical escalations currently unfolding with Iran.
As we move into the forecast for March, we find ourselves still deep in the heart of eclipse season, navigating a total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo that is heavily colored by a number of overlapping alignments. We break down the challenges of a particularly debilitating Mercury retrograde in Pisces, the reality-distorting effects of the inner planets crossing the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries, and how Jupiter stationing direct in Cancer might offer some helpful silver linings and protective intercessions during an otherwise volatile month.
Finally, we highlight a few windows of opportunity amidst the chaos, including a very positive Mars-Jupiter trine that forms the basis of our best electional chart of the month. As always, you can find the complete list of timestamps below if you want to jump to different sections or topics.
