Astrology: Spring Equinox, March 21, 2026- Part 1 - Review

For the Winter prognostic, we wrote:

The burgeoning energy of humanitarian, idealistic, innovative, original spiritual and social reform should continue to be felt more and more, but the Winter semester could still be similar to most of 2025, with some turmoil and upheavals due to the major astrological changes. Indeed, there could be added motivation for bold, progressive, concrete reforming and innovating with a broad sense of optimism and openness emerging. At an individual level, we have a dynamic, outgoing, efficient outlook that is valuing friendly social relations and cooperation based on common values and objectives.

However, there could be tensions felt due to an exaggerated optimism and confidence, as well as a general resistance to energies of change. Hence these two conflicting poles (individual social assertiveness and idealistic progress) can cause obstacles, blockages, confusion, and misunderstandings. There can be frustrations, disillusionment and disappointments, which could tend to prompt pause for a reality check, in order to better adjust the enthusiasm more in accord with practical possibilities and long term goals. This situation can result at worst in volatile breakdowns.
