5 Important Things to Know About Eclipses in Spring 2026

Spring 2026 promises to be one of the most exciting seasons for astronomy and astrology enthusiasts. This spring, we will witness a celestial spectacle that will mark the beginning of new cycles in our lives. Here are five important things to know about these events.
The first major event of the season is the total lunar eclipse on March 3, 2026. The moon will pass completely through the Earth's shadow, which often gives it a distinctive copper-red color. This phenomenon will be visible from much of the Pacific Ocean, the Americas, and East Asia, but its energetic impact will be felt around the world.
Although technically at the end of winter, the solar eclipse on February 17, 2026 will set the tone for the entire spring. It will be of the annular type, also known as the Ring of Fire. This phenomenon occurs when the Moon is too far from the Earth to completely block the Sun, leaving a luminous ring around its dark silhouette. This event marks the moment of sowing your new ideas, which you will be able to realize in the spring months.
Eclipses during this period occur along the axis of the signs Virgo and Pisces. This means that the theme of spring will be the balance between practical everyday life and our spiritual growth. Virgo requires order, attention to detail and care for health, while Pisces will push us towards development and listening to our own intuition, creativity and liberation from the old.
The period of eclipses is a time when events acquire a fatal or predetermined character. The lunar eclipse in March will bring a culmination of processes that began six months ago. This is an ideal time to complete non-working, burdensome relationships, bad habits or outdated projects. A solar eclipse, on the other hand, will open up new possibilities that may seem confusing at first, but will prove to be right in the long run.
If you plan to observe a solar eclipse, remember that safety comes first. Never look directly at the Sun without special filters or glasses, even during a partial eclipse. As for a lunar eclipse, it is completely safe to observe with the naked eye and offers an incredible photography opportunity, especially when the Moon takes on its mystical blood-red hue.

5 Useful Things to Know About Mercury Retrograde in March 2026

The first Mercury retrograde of the year will affect us between February 26 and March 20, 2026. This time, it will move backwards through the signs of Pisces and Aquarius, which will bring confusion, intuitive insights and various challenges for all zodiac signs. At Astro Velida, we believe that retrograde periods are not a time to be afraid. Their purpose is to make a revision in our lives and prepare us for new upcoming events.
What useful advice can we give you?
When Mercury is retrograde in Pisces, logic often gives way to emotions. You may feel your thoughts clouded, important documents may be delayed or misunderstandings may arise in your personal relationships. When it returns to Aquarius, attention will be focused on technology, social networks and your plans for the future.
1. Check everything several times, whether you are sending an email to someone or you are about to sign a document or a contract. The mistakes you make during this period will become visible later in time.
2. Attention will be required for everything related to technology. It is not advisable to buy technology during this period, whether it is a phone or something important for your life. Save all important information from your computer or phone before you lose everything due to an unexpected incident.
3. Return to the past. During Mercury retrograde, it is good to focus your attention on completing old projects, cleaning the house or renewing contacts with people you have not seen for a long time.
4. This is an unfavorable time to buy property. If you are in the process of such a deal, try to finalize it before February 25 or wait until the end of March.
5. Use this time to work on yourself, for example by ordering your natal chart to find out which of your qualities or shortcomings it is time to work seriously on.
A brief forecast for each zodiac sign:
Aries, Leo and Sagittarius should be careful with their statements. Your words can be misunderstood.
Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn should focus on financial planning of their affairs, but without making any firm decisions.
For Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, social life will be intense but tiring.
Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces will feel this influence the most. Trust your dreams during this period.
Finally, don't let the planets dictate your mood. Use Mercury retrograde as a pause that the universe gives you to take a breath.
