Esoteric Astrology as news for week March 11 – 17, 2026


Ireland, Green Shamrocks, a Crystal Bowl & the White House



 

 

This is the week before Spring begins. Jupiter has stationed direct. Mercury remains retrograde. So much preparation is occurring at this time! We are still in Lent, preparing for Easter and the Resurrection Festival. Disciples are simultaneously preparing for the Three Spring Solar Festivals of Aries, Taurus and Gemini. And for the Reappearance of the World Teacher. Tuesday is St. Patrick’s Day followed by Wednesday’s Pisces new moon in the very last degree of Pisces. 

The United States was founded (July 4, 1776) under Sun in Cancer. Progressing forward, the U.S. Sun is now Pisces, sign of saviorship and sacrifice. When the progressed U.S. Sun (21 degrees Pisces) squared the U.S. natal Mars the Iran war began. This is active all year. Sun (ruler of chart) square (challenges, tension, anchoring a new direction) Mars (war) in the 7th (with enemies). A volatile (Mars) situation. 

To lead a country into the light, the darkness that has captured humanity, must be destroyed. The dharma, spiritual destiny and task of the United States (all countries have a spiritual task) is to “Light the Way for humanity and lead humanity within and towards the Light.” The U.S. is directed by two stars or rays in the Big Dipper – Ray 2 (Love/Wisdom and the Hierarchy, inner spiritual government) and Ray 6 of idealism, aspiration. Both are rays of sacrifice. Pisces is also the sign of the World Savior. 

St. Patrick’s Day – Tuesday, March 17th is St. Patrick’s Day, a 17th century Catholic feast day. St. Patrick is the saint of Ireland (public holiday), of three-and-four-leaf clovers, and a lovely plant called the purple oxalis. St. Patrick used the three-leaf clover to explain the Trinity – the three aspects of God – Father, Son (Soul), Holy Spirit/Mother. The Sydney Australia Opera House, Dublin’s General Post Office and Cannon’s Gate (Triumphal Arch) in Malta are lit up in green on St. Patrick’s Day. There are parades, festivals, music, dancing (ceilidh) and the “wearing of the green.” It is customary for the Irish Taoiseach  (Irish Prime Minister) to meet with the President of the United States on or around St. Patrick’s Day. Traditionally, the Taoiseach presents the US president a  Waterford Crystal bowl filled with fresh green shamrocks. It is already confirmed this will occur again this year, 2026, at the White House.


 

 Aries

March 21 – April 19:  As you recognize the vital and initiating work you are to bring forth, it’s time to learn how to better participate in groups with both intelligent and heart-felt alignment. You are to construct part of the new world culture and civilization. Is this in your awareness?  Are you conscious of what this takes and the needs of humanity? You’re called to awaken again for the times are coming when those who plan and lead boldly, take risks and see into the future, working with both heart and mind, will be summoned. Prepare.

 Taurus

Taurus
April 20 – May 20:  The architecture of your identity and participation in life is changing. Previously you dreamed big dreams, pondered upon many realities, not concerned if anything took shape. Now you’re competently leading and facilitating boards and groups, preparing the components of the new world order. Taurus has an enlightened mind with the ability to see humanity’s future needs. You are aware in the breakdown phase seeds of the new must be sowed. You’re synthesizing all realities so others can understand.

 Gemini

Gemini
May 21 – June 20:  Many forces are at work in your life. As a Gemini you always attempt to resolve polarities – higher with lower, Soul with personality. This is a vital and difficult task accomplished by the proper cultivation of the mind principle (which soothes the emotions) and the right course of study that allows no illusions, distortions or maya. Later you share the Path. Aquarius calls you to develop all seven levels of your mind. Are you? Can you define the Soul yet?

 Cancer

Cancer
June 21 – July 22:  Always we feel some form of conflict. Know that this conflict, and chaos, is purposeful and useful. It gives us the ability to observe tensions and to express needs, fears, wounds and trigger points. For some there is a great battle occurring between the Soul and personality. The Soul calls us to Right Action and Right Service. Sometimes, many times we don’t know what these mean. And so we ask the Soul. There will then be a quietness, then a reorientation and information released into your mind. Asking, we always receive.

 Leo

July 23 – August 22:  You’re entered a time where relationships are vitally important yet at times you feel not connected to anything or anyone. You’re in a place of subtle assessment, of balancing and choosing, an interlude state somewhat. Your inner reality concerning relationships and how you function in them is being modified so that you can display Right Relationships while still expressing your unique creativity. Hold opposing forces in balance. A greater awareness emerges. Your love then flows once more. Love is your gift. So you can love more.

 Virgo

August 23 – September 22:  Very new revelations stream into your mind concerning how to structure the hours of daily life and the midnight hours. How we function within our daily life prepares us to function at night and within the new dimensions and structures in the world that are slowly emerging. Receive with devotion and detail any and all ideas impressed upon your mind. Sometimes these are impressions from the Hierarchy. Be aware if weariness occurs. You then must rest which vitalizes and brings light to your perspectives.

 Libra

September 23 – October 22:  Although, under the veil of Libra’s charm, you are a strong and powerful force, a greater level of Love/Wisdom must begin expressing itself through you, from your heart and to others all around. This new flow of energy, which is a force, begins with acceptance and gratitude for everyone and everything (small and great). Begin with intention, too. You can say as a mantra, “Love expresses itself through me always and Wisdom follows.” Then your life and relationships proceed with protective, healing, loving care.

 Scorpio

October 23 – November 21:   You will begin to have solitary times thinking things great and small. In order to support this, create an environment that nurtures you in all ways – the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of yourself. Be in touch with the kingdoms – Soul, human, animal, plant and mineral. Be in nature as much as possible. Love, combined with your great mysterious intelligence, will form a foundation for the new life, era and world emerging. It begins where you live. Later you’ll be asked to teach all that you know.

 Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21:  You should have a very good rest of the year. Especially if you blend two realities – your personality and Soul. This produces harmony over time. Then after a long while, the Soul leaves and Will enters your life. Over time you will harmonize with Will. It is not easy. Will is a fire. Your life, in this fire horse year, will rise and make a big splash! Remember to never be thoughtless. You’ll lose much. Remember also, that “wisdom is knowledge gained through experience and implemented by love.” Ponderable thought.

 Capricorn

December 22 – January 19:  Whatever it is you hope for, use your creative imagination to visualize it. Then radiate your entire life and its environment, its people, with love from your Ajna (third eye) center. This is where love streams forth. Then new life will take root, expressed as harmony, beauty and peace (a process). Your love (no matter what happens) eases disharmony and conflict whenever it arises. You remember that Harmony comes after conflict and chaos. Harmony is a seed within conflict. Look for it.

 Aquarius

January 20 – February 18:  This year you have great vitality, energy and potential. These are a long time coming and are needed as new sources of income are sought. You will seek to control limitations and any impatience. If you’re not aware, you could end up being thoughtless toward others. Remember to be courteous and kind, show sympathy to those who have less than you. A new self-identity continues to emerge. Be sure it includes goodness, generosity and love. We experience what we offer. Have constant gratitude.

 Pisces

February 19 – March 20:  It is sometimes an arduous task of understanding our feelings, thoughts, aspirations, actions and vulnerabilities. Wounds, too. Much of the life of Pisces is a pathway of service and sacrifice, which you know well. Now, a new cycle has begun, expanding your courage and strength of character. This may be surprising to some. Maintain privacy, walk away from disharmony, don’t believe criticism. The stars are your protection. They remind us to “look intelligently and with love into every heart within every kingdom.”
