Spiritual guidance March/April 2026: Igniting the solar self

Here’s my spiritual guidance March/April 2026, covering the lunar month beginning with the Pisces new moon on March 19th at 1.23am (UK) through to April 16th. Every new lunar month I draw one card from the Thoth Tarot to spark intuitive insight about the key energy to navigate by during the coming four weeks. I then take a quick look at the astrology.

The new lunar month opens with the radiant force of the Ace of Wands – a card of ignition, awakening, and powerful beginnings. Where other cards suggest gradual movement, the Ace arrives like a spark in dry grass: sudden, bright, and full of untamed potential.

This is the outpouring of creative energy from the universe itself. Life-force moving through you and around you, seeking expression. The Ace of Wands reminds you that you are not separate from that current. You are part of it. The same force that ignites stars, stirs the wind, and pushes green shoots through the soil also moves through the human heart and mind.

Right now, that energy carries a particularly spiritual emphasis; a call to awaken more fully to the truth of who you are.

The lightning of realisation

As in many depictions of the Ace of Wands, lightning bolts flash across this card. It symbolises those sudden moments of illumination when something clicks into place and the truth becomes undeniable. Not an intellectual idea, but a lived recognition.

You begin to sense your celestial solar self – the deeper presence that lives beneath the roles and identities you’ve accumulated. The part of you that is pure awareness, pure spirit, pure creative fire. When this recognition dawns, it feels less like learning something new and more like remembering something ancient. Because in truth, you are not separate from the life-force that sustains the cosmos. You are its expression. The same plasmic prana that animates the universe flows through your brain and body.

When you begin to live from that centre, something shifts. The need to compete, dominate, or define yourself against others starts to fall away. From the perspective of spirit, there is no hierarchy of worth, only countless forms through which the one Source expresses itself.

The consequences of forgetting

Look around the world and you can see what happens when this truth is forgotten. War. Hatred. Dogmatic belief systems. Endless attempts to prove one group superior to another. Division built on fear. Fear of difference, fear of rejection, fear of losing power.

All of it arises from a loss of connection with the spiritual self. When people forget who they truly are, they cling to identities that feel safer and smaller. Tribe against tribe. Belief against belief. Each convinced it alone holds the truth.

But when you stand rooted in your deeper spiritual presence, something very different becomes possible. You begin to recognise that every person you encounter is another expression of the same living source. Different, yes. Unique, absolutely. But fundamentally connected.

From that place, compassion grows naturally. And when enough individuals live from that awareness, the environment around them begins to change.

The rising fire

The Ace of Wands also carries the imagery of rising Kundalini energy; the awakening life-force that moves through the body like a coiled flame when consciousness begins to expand. This energy forms a bridge between the physical and the spiritual. When it stirs, you may feel heightened sensitivity, bursts of creativity, sudden insights, or waves of emotional and energetic movement. It’s powerful. Transformative. And not something to treat lightly.

Practices such as breathwork, meditation, ritual, visualisation, mantra, and prayer can help to open and stabilise this channel during this month. They invite more spirit into conscious awareness and allow the energy to move through you in a balanced way.

Preparation and grounding are essential. Awakening is not a race, and the body must be able to hold what the spirit reveals. If you feel you need help and support to handle this sometimes chaotic energy, seek out someone who can hold you to embody it safely.

Handled wisely, this rising fire becomes a profound force for transformation. It guides you towards greater clarity, authenticity, and alignment with the deeper intelligence of life.

The spark of action

This month, pay close attention to your impulses, ideas, and emotional responses. Emotion, after all, is simply energy in motion. A passing feeling might carry the spark of something far larger: a creative project, a bold action, a new direction in life. History is full of examples where a single inspired moment ignited movements, discoveries, evolutionary changes.

The Ace of Wands asks you to notice those sparks without immediately dismissing them. What excites you? What stirs your enthusiasm? Where does your inner fire naturally want to move? Follow the energy, but do so consciously.

Fire needs direction

For all its brilliance, fire can also burn out of control if left unattended. The Ace of Wands contains enormous potential, but potential alone is not enough. Without clarity and grounding, enthusiasm can tip into exaggeration, overreach, or scattered effort. Ideas flare brightly for a moment and then fade before anything solid has been created.

Another trap lies in arrogance. Inspiration alone doesn’t guarantee success. True mastery comes when passion is balanced with humility, patience, and steady action. Your task this month is not simply to ignite the flame, but to tend it.

Living as the solar self

At its highest expression, the Ace of Wands invites you to live from your solar self; the radiant core of spirit that burns steadily within. This is pure creative fire. Pure life-force. A presence far more powerful than the small fears and doubts that often shape human behaviour. Yet it carries no sense of superiority. The sun shines on all things equally. In the same way, the awakened spiritual self recognises its unity with every other being.

When you live from this centre, division loses its grip. Fear loosens. Creativity flows more freely. And the energy you bring into the world begins to uplift those around you. The fire has been lit. Now the question is simple: What will you create with it?

Guidance March/April 2026 from astrology

The pace begins to accelerate with the Pisces new moon on 19th March. Sitting close to the powerful Saturn–Neptune conjunction and forming a supportive sextile to Uranus in Taurus, this lunation carries real momentum. There’s energy here to activate a new cycle, particularly around financial systems and our relationship with the natural world. This is not a moment for delay or hesitation.

The following day brings the Spring Equinox on 20th March, that potent point of balance when light overtakes darkness and the new astrological year begins. At the same time Mercury turns direct and conjoins the Moon’s North Node, pointing clearly towards the path ahead. Let go of unnecessary distractions it says, and move forward with one-pointed clarity towards what truly matters.

As Venus enters Taurus at the end of March, a gentler but steady influence begins to support those seeking creative and practical solutions. Beauty, artistry, and connection with the living earth may provide some of the most powerful answers.

The waxing moon continues to illuminate life-changing possibilities as it grows to fullness on the 2nd April. Long-standing frustrations may finally reveal their solutions, allowing energy that has been stuck, both intellectually and physically, to begin flowing again. Unexpected insights, new pathways, and revealed truths all point toward the same conclusion: meaningful change is not only possible, it’s necessary.

In the weeks that follow, Mars, Mercury, and the Moon all move into Aries, energising that Saturn–Neptune conjunction even further. The spark is there, and the conditions are ripe. What has been forming beneath the surface now seeks its moment of ignition.
