Tarot Readings for the Week of March 22, 2026

“And there will be signs in the sun and the moon and the stars.” Luke 21:25

An overview of major astrology transits for this week helps focus the Tarot. Please remember that astrology aspects are not predictions but merely signposts to help understand the astral influences that may affect you.

Saturn and Neptune continue to be conjunct in Aries, 2° - 3° apart, and will remain in a close conjunction until mid-April, when they begin to move out of alignment. Saturn, the Lord of Karma [in Tarot, the ruler of the Universe], is serious, disciplined, authoritative and powers the body. Neptune, the Ruler of the Seas, dissolves, blends, spiritualizes, and powers the mind. Aries is all about self-discovery, new beginnings, action, and inspiration. The combination of these three is a time for new beginnings after ridding ourselves of what we no longer need in our lives. This conjunction may have been felt for several months as Saturn and Neptune danced back and forth in retrogrades between Pisces and Aries before it released on February 20th and will continue its influence until April. Urges for new goals/new outlooks will certainly be in effect. If conflicting transits are in your chart, you may be resisting change, which may hinder the need to move forward.

SUNDAY

• Sun conjunct Neptune in Aries [until Tuesday]: This is a dreamy period, either with a burst of creative energy or a desire to escape into fantasyland. With Saturn’s responsible vibes close by and Uranus’ innovative energy in sextile, the likelihood of using this energy in a positive way is strong.

• Mars in Pisces trine Jupiter in Cancer [until Wednesday]: This positive energy promotes learning. This will help offset the delusional state that Neptune can produce.

• Mercury conjunct retrograde North Node in Pisces [through end of week]: This conjunction was building last week and releases today, urging you to put your communication skills to good use, particularly with groups, until the end of this week.

TUESDAY

• Sun conjunct Saturn in Aries [until Saturday]: Responsibilities in your work/career are at the forefront currently. Self-discipline will help you move forward.

WEDNESDAY

• First Quarter Moon in Cancer: Something you began or planned for in late June of 2025 is gaining energy now. The Moon rules Cancer, causing your sensitive nature to energize.

• The Moon is also square Neptune in Aries. This Moon in Cancer sensitivity meets up with the empathy of Neptune, which could cause some mood swings. Today would be a good day to meditate/pray and let the day roll through.

• Sun in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius [until Saturday]: The Aries energy combined with Pluto’s transformative powers will provide new energy for the struggles/moodiness you may be going through.

THURSDAY

• Venus conjunct Chiron in Aries [through Sunday]: The loving nature of Venus is sensitive to the emotional energy of Chiron, pushing childhood hurts to the surface. This may be weepy but provides the opportunity to forgive, and heal those old wounds.

• The Moon conjunct Jupiter in Cancer, and trine Mars in Pisces [generally one day; may feel effects a day before and/or after]: This is a feel-good day. You exude self-confidence and optimism and can rise to any challenge. Consider it an adventure.

In considering all these planetary aspects, more is revealed when you are aware of which houses these aspects present themselves in your natal chart and the other transits affecting your natal chart.

TAROT

I always take a few moments of quiet to center myself, take a few deep breaths, and listen to intuition coming forth as I shuffle the cards. For the Zodiac signs this week, I'm using the traditional Rider-Waite deck.

·       COLLECTIVE [overview for all]: King of Swords 

Given the potential roller coaster feeling with the astrology this week, the King of Swords is providing intellectual clarity. So, if during the week you feel overwhelmed, stop and ground yourself with reminders of all you have accomplished in the main scheme of life.

·        ARIES [the Ram]: Three of Swords

You are likely to feel a strong dose of responsibility in a sorrowful area. Acceptance of the situation can turn the pain of being in authority into a joyful memory of the past. Aries, although you are strong, it’s okay to accept the strength of others.

·        TAURUS [the Bull]: Three of Wands

This card is influenced by the Sun in Aries, which coincidentally is where the Sun is located currently. The Sun’s aspects this week encourage you to look ahead, but not to ignore what’s happening around you. There is adventure on the horizon.

·        GEMINI [the Twins]: Nine of Wands

Because you are a natural multi-tasker, you also tend to overdo and take on too much. Have the strength to step back and take care of yourself. Some introspection would be helpful to realize what’s most important and go from there.

·        CANCER [the Crab]: Eight of Cups

The energetic vibes bouncing around this week are a great opportunity for you to step out of your comfort zone, that place you naturally gravitate toward, and explore what could be if you were only willing to take the chance.

·        LEO [the Lion]: Queen of Wands

It’s only fitting that fiery Leo should get the fiery Queen of Wands, who has a vibrant appreciation for life. You are passionate and sincere; and you may need to share that optimism with those loved ones who may really need that this week.

·        VIRGO [the Virgin]: Strength

Avoid letting the astrological energy this week drag you away from your practical Virgo traits. Although you are greatly organized already, allow the Strength card to provide the extra strength to tackle what you have perceived as a difficult project. Is it really?

·        LIBRA [the Scales]: The Magician

The Magician is influenced by Mercury, the communicator. Because you naturally strive for harmony, the Magician urges you to use the inspirational [from the root word ‘spirit’] energy of this week to create a personal balance between your outer persona and your inner child.

·        SCORPIO [the Scorpion]: The High Priestess

The Moon is a heavy influence for the High Priestess. With the power of the Moon in astrology this week, the High Priestess is recognizing the emotional side of Scorpio, connecting to your deepest human bonds. Unplug and have some private time with your God/Higher Being/Great Spirit.

·        SAGITTARIUS [the Archer]: The Tower

Mars affects The Tower card, which is also called the House of God. It represents a sudden change that is necessary for you to move forward. Sometimes you may view this change as a hinderance, but in the long run, it is just what you need for your situation to improve.

·        CAPRICORN [the Sea-Goat]: Eight of Swords

You may be affected by the astrological energy of this week more than others, but only because you are looking at it from a negative viewpoint. Instead of giving the astrology a strict interpretation, ease up. Allow yourself to be enlightened and encouraged by the information.

·        AQUARIUS [the Water Bearer]: Six of Pentacles

You are a natural humanitarian and team player. Because of those sublime qualities, you are concerned with others and hold back when it comes to expressing your own feelings. The Six of Pentacles is urging you to share some of that generosity you have for others and share it with yourself. Enjoy the spiritual wonder of life.

·        PISCES [the Fish]: Nine of Pentacles

The Nine of Pentacles was meant for intuitive Pisces! This week’s card is urging you to go at the pace of nature, which is a natural pace for you. Stop and smell the roses, relax in the sunshine, and enjoy the luxuries life provides.
