March 2027 weddings: wait for Mercury, then aim mid-month
Mercury turns direct on March 3 and Venus slides into Pisces, its sign of exaltation, on March 26. Mars is still retrograde, so March is a month of good-enough rather than great.

March 2027
March 2027 is a recovery month, and that is useful
Try this today
- Stay off March 1 to 3: Mercury is still retrograde until midday UTC on the 3rd.
- If you can wait two weeks, the first Best day of the year is April 8.
- For a March weekend, compare the 12th and the 27th in the planner below and check their void hours.
Think of March as the sky clearing its throat. Mercury stations direct on March 3 at 20°55′ Aquarius, ending February's retrograde, and finishes its shadow on March 23. Venus enters Aquarius on March 1 and then Pisces on March 26, where tradition says it is exalted, at its most graceful.
What holds March back is Mars, which stays retrograde until April 1. Every March day loses ten points for that, so nothing this month reaches our Best tier.
The standout is Wednesday, March 17, the only day rated Good. The Moon is waxing in Cancer, its own sign, about 70% lit. A small midweek wedding on St Patrick's Day, honestly, sounds fun.
If you need a weekend, Saturday, March 27 carries Venus in Pisces but a waning Moon, and rates Fair. Friday, March 12 has a fresh crescent in Taurus and a Venus-day bonus, also Fair. Both are reasonable picks if April is booked out.

The sky this month
Between the new moon in Pisces and the full moon in Libra
The new moon falls on March 8 at 17°35′ Pisces and the full moon on March 22 at 1°35′ Libra, the sign of partnership. The waxing stretch between them, roughly March 9 to 21, is where almost every usable March day lives.
Mars began its retrograde on January 10 in Virgo and backed into Leo on February 21. Its whole retrograde lasts 81 days, so March sits squarely in the middle. If you read Mars as drive and friction, the tradition would say: save the big confrontations for later and keep the logistics simple.
