Weekly Astrology: Starting Strong and Staying With It

March 23 – 29, 2026

If things feel like they’re picking up this week, that’s Aries energy for you. With the Sun steady in Aries and the Moon waxing, energy is building and focus is sharpening. Yet what actually moves things forward is emotional engagement. Something you’ve recently begun wants care, attention, and follow‑through. Progress comes from staying present with what you’re building and adjusting as you go. Let your feelings be part of the process instead of something to push past or override.

Aries season is all about initiation, agency, and self‑trust. It’s direct, honest, and alive. You may feel your desires more clearly now. This isn’t about having a flawless plan or proving your strength. It’s about choosing yourself in real time and responding to what’s genuinely alive in you.

The Aries spark gets things moving, and the waxing Moon gives it emotional traction. Together, they support growth fueled by courage and care. This week reminds you that starting is only the beginning; staying with something, especially when feelings arise, is what turns intention into real progress. You’re not behind. You’re in the middle of something alive and it’s still unfolding.

Daily Focus

Monday, Mar. 23 & Tuesday, Mar. 24, 2026: Waxing Crescent in Gemini

The week opens with curiosity and mental movement. Gemini brings questions, conversations, and a desire to explore options. Emotionally, this can feel light, restless, or mentally busy.

This is a good time to talk through things, gather information, and stay flexible. Just be mindful of scattering your energy. Not every idea needs to be acted on.

Wednesday, Mar. 25, 2026: First Quarter Moon in Cancer

The First Quarter Moon brings friction, and with Cancer, that friction is emotional. Something you’re building may require you to confront a feeling you’d rather sidestep.

Growth asks for emotional presence now. Tend to what you feel instead of powering through it. Safety and honesty are not obstacles to your momentum. They’re the things that make it sustainable.

Thursday, Mar. 26 & Friday, Mar. 27, 2026: Waxing Gibbous in Cancer

Cancer continues to deepen the emotional field and sensitivity increases. You may become more aware of your needs around support, belonging, and care. These will be especially loud where you’ve been self-reliant to a fault.

This energy supports nurturing what you’re creating, but also setting boundaries where emotional labor has gone unpaid. You’re allowed to protect what you’re growing.

Saturday, Mar. 28 & Sunday, Mar. 29, 2026: Waxing Gibbous in Leo

The week closes with warmth and confidence. Leo invites you to step forward, share, or be seen creatively, emotionally, or relationally.

It’s about allowing yourself to take up space without apology, not about performing for approval. If pride shows up, let it be rooted in authenticity, not defense.

One Small Action

Choose one thing you’ve recently started and give it focused attention this week. Pick a set time and keep the appointment with yourself. Check in with how it feels, not just how it’s going.

For me, this looks like keeping an intentional writing appointment for my fiction. The goal is simply to show up and put words on the page, even if they feel messy or “bad.” I’ll check in with how it feels to be writing, instead of focusing on what gets produced by the end of the session.

A Question to Sit With

What desire is asking to be taken seriously, even if I don’t have a full plan yet?

This week doesn’t ask you to rush the process. Instead, it encourages you to stay connected to your emotions, your inner self, and your goals.

What you’re building now deserves both courage and care. And you’re capable of offering both. Drop me a comment, or reach out on social media. I’d love to hear from you. Is there something you’ve been wanting to start that’s really been scratching at the back of your mind lately?
