Horoscopes for 3-24-2026
Year overview, in short: the long form.
Aries
It’s pretty simple, happy birthday as a reminder, but this is fairly easy to understand idea. There’s a single line that crosses the X and Y axis, and that single line looks like it points up. Or it looks like it points down. Simple enough image, correct? Aries Life is either on an upswing or it’s sliding downhill. Basic life, two-dimensional, X/Y axis? It’s going up or it feels like it’s going down. Halfway through the next seven days, getting closer and closer to the Full Moon? Once the Sun and the Moon get past the point where Saturn and Neptune are heavily aspected? Then that downward line changes directions and starts to go up. If you’re on the good side of this already, paid attention, did you? Then this turns from a straight line to a rapidly advancing exponential curve, again, pointed up. What to watch for? Contact with Saturn and Neptune. After that, then it shoots upward.
Taurus
This about Taurus bookends. The meaning can vary from individual to individual, but the essence remains the same. When I mention bookends, my first thought was a set of heavy, polished marble, dark granite flecked with pink quartz bookends that I had at one time. I used them to hold my most precious reference tomes for a while, sandwiched between the heavy weights. However, eventually? One of the bookends fell — might’ve been pushed — off the shelf, and dented the floor, taking out a chunk of the bookend itself. The other one was lonely without its companion. Then, too, my essential reference library, has mutated and multiplied, so bookends were no longer required. But the term, and its metaphorical implications, as “Bookends?” That’s what this is about. What brackets Taurus time even now? What are the defining elements that serve as anchors on either side of Taurus? Those anchors are what keeps you from drifting off into the night’s sky. What are your Taurus bookends?
Gemini
One Gemini buddy was, is, my leader in “hands free technology.” He spends an inordinate amount of time driving hither and yon, and as such, he was, is, always looking for the latest and greatest in talk-while-he’s-driving tech. He had the first earbuds, he had the first wireless earbuds, he used a hands-free thing that clipped to his visor, and he used early versions of the wireless Bluetooth radio connector things. When I was commuting to Austin with frequency, I went from wired earbuds to wireless, with no other distractions. For me, it was ease-of-use, and convenience. For Gemini, the sign of the Twins, putatively ruled by Mercury — with both Mercury and Mars creating a tension angle? That would suggest that there is more than one answer, and more than one way to accomplish the short-term Gemini goals. There is more than one way, and I suggest you try them all before reaching any kind of a decision. Personally, I like the wired headphones better, as that shows I’m busy. The battery doesn’t run out halfway to Austin either.
Cancer
One my oldest tricks is the half cup of coffee. It’s a usual, 8-ounce mug, a little on the small side, maybe a 6-ounce size, I’m not sure. But the mug itself, not the large kind that holds a pint or liter of coffee, no, not that, the smallest kind. Not the smallest, that would be a demitasse, and I have some of those, too, for espresso-like servings, no, this is about the old-school, regular size “cup of coffee.” I’m thinking it was about 6 or 8 ounces. Instead of filling it all the way? What works, and I’m passing this off as solid advice for the times we’re facing? Gentle Moon Children, the sign of the crab, Cancer? Instead of a single serving that’s too hot then too cold? Fill that mug about halfway, then sip it. As it cools, fill it to the halfway point again. Too hot mixed with too cold, and as it’s only half full, or half empty, depends on where you are at the time? Either way, you’re not consuming too much. Just enough. Just right. “Just about half a cup, please.”
The Leo
A personal favorite tarot card is The Hermit. It shows a hunched, elder figure, carrying a lantern, guided with a staff, and in my favorites deck? There’s a three-headed hound, snapping at this heels, Cerberus, the hound of hell. There’s also a very-Virgo-like association, more mercurial and inquisitive than perfectionist, and to some extent, that is an old man, guided by the light of the lord in the lantern, ever trudging forward, with hell’s hound nipping at the person’s heel. Lot to unpack and carving a Very Virgo image for The Leo should send a message about trudging forward. There’s a rich amount of material in this week’s stars, and instead of looking at one influence, combine the elements, and look at the bigger image. That solitary hermit, not really alone, and the solo Leo? Not really alone. Instead of an old-fashioned lantern, though, I tend to use a small flashlight with a bright bulb.
Virgo
There’s a fine line between brilliance and madness. Old rub. There’s also a fine line between attention to detail, and Obsessive Compulsive behaviors. I was thinking, it was like a certain Shakespeare character, obsessively cleaning a particular spot of blood that no one else could see. Mostly, this is Mars and Mercury, not the obvious “old rub” with Saturn and Virgo. The caution is turning an erudite attention-to-detail issue into an obsessive-compulsive disorder type action. It’s clean, or it’s clean enough or you’ve straightened up as much as humanly possible. A good Virgo is capable of super-human feats, but is that required?
Libra
There comes a time when we should all stop, pause a moment in headlong rush into the future, just catch our collective breath here, and take a minute to assess our location relative to where we want to be. One buddy suggested that the Libra Life was like running a business, and it was time to take stock of what was on hand. What supplies are there, what is needed, what is lacking, and where we can all do better. Soon as I heard “Do better,” I kept thinking, “do better next time.” One, there will be a next time, and two? You do get another chance, another attempt, a second opportunity to make this right. Have fun.
Scorpio
In my distant past, I have a long list of failed ventures. I tried several different avenues, only to wind up throwing money at problems and solutions that didn’t work for me. Someplace in blog-style, I have list of those failures, but there’s also a companion list of successes. I’ve learned, mostly through trial, tribulation, and error, what does, and doesn’t, work for me. This is about what works, or doesn’t work, for me. Or, in the case of this week’s Scorpio mess? What does — or doesn’t — work for Scorpio. There is only one to prove — or disprove — the hypothetical Scorpio solution, and that’s to test the hypothesis. Give it a spin. See if it works. If it does, then call it Scorpio success, and if it doesn’t work like you want? Scorpio learning experience.
Sagittarius
In my own mind, I am always smooth, calm, and collected. In my own mind, I have it together. No panic, no look of abject terror on my face, ready to address any exigent circumstance. In Sagittarius reality, that appears to not be the case. A single glance, and it’s easy enough to blame Mars or Mars and Mercury, both in Pisces. That generates a degree of friction, and to some, us, that kind of friction can be unwelcome. “Yeah, I don’t like it — at all. Fix it?” There is no immediate fix, and therein is our problem. No immediate quick fix. Can’t just grab a can WD-40 and squirt a little magical oil on the problem, make it go away. There isn’t a quick fix, but understanding the source, mostly Mars, maybe Mercury? Understanding the symbolism and understanding that our illusions of smooth, debonair, slick, and calm? That’s what we want to protect. Might not come out that way, but we can try.
Capricorn
“I can resist everything but temptation itself.” Who said that? I’m not Capricorn, so I’m not going to look it up. There are actually two expressions to watch out for. In the coming days, there’s a tendency to think, but don’t say it, “See? I told you so.” The other expression? “Finally! They get what they deserve!” Both are taunting, hollow victory statements. Both can be perceived as pejorative, combative, and gloating. None of that looks good on Capricorn. Since it’s not attractive, even though, we both know, well-deserved? Since this isn’t good look? Curtail the commentary. Avoid the victory lap. Don’t do a donut in the infield just because you won. In less than week after that gloating commentary from Capricorn, along comes a comeuppance. Instead of your commentary, someone else, non-Capricorn, is looking at you. “See? I told you so.” Or worse? “Finally! They get what they deserve!”
Aquarius
Looking up various kinds of coffee, I got stuck on Turkish Coffee. I’m not making it at home because the whole, double-boil-the-coffee (in a special brass brazier) thing is dangerous for me. But I borrowed from one of the recipes for that Turkish Coffee, certain spices, a helping of sugar, and so forth, I looked at the spices, and found that I could add some of that to my own, morning coffee to get a fresh take on tired old coffee. On longer reflection, this goes back to walking into a coffee shop downtown, in the wee hours of the morning, and getting coffee, then dressing a tiny sprinkle of nutmeg on top. Yeah, did that for a spell, didn’t really work, and I wasn’t that fond of the nutmeg alone with the coffee. But as a combination, like nutmeg, cardamom, and cinnamon, in the grounds and on top of the filter? That worked, and it was somewhat evocative of the Turkish coffee, if not as strong or sweet. It’s working in some everyday magic for the Aquarius, and that can be as simple as metaphysical herbs in the coffee.
Pisces
Life is not a fishing show. “Next on Bass Masters: division leads!” There’s a camera person assigned to each of the leaders, and then, there’s about three minutes of action as the imagery is boats blasting across the lakes, then watching as a single cast is made, then the star starts horsing in a big bass. Cut to commercial. It’s overcast, there’s a long, low-hanging branch, then the star makes a single flip-cast, contact with the water, big fish bites, see the star haul back to set that hook, and it’s a wrap. Less than ten minutes of “action” in a 3 or 4 day tournament. Lots of swearing, tangled lines, more fishing, less catching, is going on. Hunting the fish isn’t nearly as photogenic as catching. Mars, in Pisces, is like that. You want the highlights reel, with the action, and none of the days in between, remember Mercury is recently un-retrograde, and there are plenty of times that require more patience in order to get to the action of the highlight reel. Consider: half-hour fishing show is 22 minutes of actual footage, so that’s a week or more condensed to just ten minutes.
