General Predictions for March 2026
Mercury is retrograde for part of the month: a time to revise, re-check documents and finish pending work rather than sign new contracts; decisions move more easily once it turns direct. Station days, when a slow planet is felt most strongly: Jupiter turns direct in Mithuna on Wed 11 Mar. Jupiter in Mithuna favours study, writing, trade and communication. Saturn in Meena keeps Sade Sati running for Kumbha, Meena and Mesha Moon signs, and the dhaiya (small panoti) for Simha and Dhanu.
