Scorpio Rashifal March 2027 (Vrishchik Rashi): Your Ruler Retreats Into an Exalted Ninth House
Published 2026-08-21 | Live Pandit Ji
Cancer is the ninth house from Vrishchik Rashi, and this year it holds a rare stack. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer — and the ninth house is the house Jupiter naturally owns. A planet at its own strongest, standing in the house it governs by nature, is about as good as a transit gets on paper. For a Scorpio that house is dharma, the father, the teacher, long journeys, higher study and the whole question of what you believe.
March complicates it in two specific ways. Ketu is in the same house, and the two were exact on Monday 1 March at 25°27′ of Cancer. And at 12:30 am on Wednesday 10 March, Mars — which rules Vrishchik Rashi — reverses out of your tenth house and back into Cancer, where it is debilitated, joining them both.
That last movement is the month’s defining event for a Scorpio. Your own ruling planet abandons your house of career and profession in the middle of the month, and lands weakened in your house of belief. Whatever it is you were pushing at work, the energy behind it withdraws on the 10th and goes somewhere else.
The Tenth House Empties on 10 March
Mars begins the month at 2°59′ of Leo, which is your tenth house, and Leo is the only sign carrying any planet for you outside the Capricorn-Aquarius-Pisces-Cancer group. After 12:30 am on the 10th, your tenth house is empty for the rest of March and nothing arrives in it.
The first nine days therefore matter more than their share of the calendar. If there is a professional conversation to have, an application to submit, a case to make for yourself, the window is 1 to 9 March — with Mars slowing towards its edge and already retrograde, so the first week rather than the ninth day. After that, career is not where March’s energy is, and treating it as though it were will produce effort without result.
Mars then falls to 26°41′ of Cancer by the 31st and stops there: it turns direct at 7:42 pm on Thursday 1 April 2027 at that exact degree. So your ruling planet spends the whole of March moving backwards and the last few days of it barely moving at all. The date it resumes forward motion is 1 April; the date exalted Jupiter does the same is 13 April at 7:58 am.
Mars Debilitated in the House of the Father and the Teacher
Mars in Cancer is a weak Mars: the planet of assertion in the sign of feeling, doing its work indirectly and resentfully rather than head-on. In the ninth house that reads as friction with a father, a teacher, a guru or an institution you owe something to — and specifically the kind of friction where the anger is not stated and comes out sideways. Retrograde, it also means the friction is old, not new.
But it is sharing the house with an exalted Jupiter, and that changes the reading materially. The generous version is available and it is the one to work with: this is a month to receive from a senior figure rather than to argue with one. If there is a rift with a father or a teacher, exalted Jupiter in the same house is the reason March can close it — provided you do not use Mars to do the closing.
All three bodies sit inside about four degrees of the nakshatra Ashlesha, the coiled nakshatra ruled by Mercury. Jupiter crosses back from its third pada to its second during March, Ketu holds the third, and Mars re-enters it on the 10th. A ninth house that concentrated is not a quiet one.
Your Ruler’s Absence, and a Third House Full of Rahu
Capricorn is your third house — siblings, neighbours, short journeys, courage, and everything written, sent or said. It carries Rahu all month, at 25°30′ falling to 23°51′, in Dhanishta, and it is busy.
Mercury turns direct there at 6:02 pm on Wednesday 3 March at 26°41′ of Capricorn, a degree from Rahu, ending the retrograde that began at 11:05 pm on 9 February. Mercury owns communication, so a third-house station is precise: from Thursday the 4th, messages that were not being answered get answered, a sibling matter unlocks, a document that was stuck moves. That is the most usable date in the first week.
Then Venus crosses the same node exactly at 7:23 am on Wednesday 17 March at 24°38′. Venus over Rahu in the third house is where something said or written is more persuasive than it is true — a negotiation that flatters, a message that reads better than the offer behind it, an agreement with a sibling or neighbour made on charm. Read anything you sign that week twice.
Mercury leaves for your fourth house on the 12th at 5:00 am and Venus follows on the 21st at 6:47 pm, so the third house is loud in the first three weeks and quiet after.
A New Moon in Your Fourth on 8 March
The New Moon forms at 2:59 pm on Monday 8 March at 23°18′ of Aquarius, in Purva Bhadrapada. Aquarius is the fourth from Scorpio, so this is a lunation in your house of home, land and the mother, and by the 21st it has been joined by Mercury and Venus in the same house.
A fourth-house New Moon is the month’s clean beginning, and it lands before Holashtak starts on the 14th, which makes it one of the few dates in March that is both astronomically and ritually open. It suits a domestic beginning: setting up a room, starting a repair, resuming something with your mother, planting something. The Sun holds that house until the 15th too, which adds visibility to whatever is going on at home in the first fortnight.
Saturn in Your Fifth — and Out of It on 3 June
Saturn holds Pisces all month, direct, moving from 18°49′ to 22°33′ and crossing from the first pada of Revati into the second. Pisces is your fifth house, and a fifth-house Saturn is one of the harder placements for a Scorpio to live with: it presses on children, on creative work, on study, and on the simple capacity to enjoy something. Effort in those areas has been returning less than it costs.
At 6:55 am on Monday 15 March the Sun joins it, which is the fortnight where that pressure is most obvious — a child’s difficulty surfacing, a creative project stalling visibly, a course of study feeling heavier than it should.
The relevant date is 3 June 2027, when Saturn leaves Pisces for Aries — your sixth house — which is one of the two placements where a Saturn transit works in your favour instead of against it. Saturn briefly returns to Pisces on 20 October 2027 and settles in Aries on 23 February 2028, so the relief is real but not clean until then. What March asks is patience for eleven more weeks. The observances are on our Shani dosh page.
An Eleventh-House Full Moon, and Two Sets of Chandra Days
The Full Moon forms at 4:13 pm on Monday 22 March at 7°18′ of Virgo, in Uttara Phalguni — the Phalguna Purnima Holi is counted from. Virgo is your eleventh house: gains, elder siblings, networks and the people who help you without being asked. That is a genuinely good place for a Full Moon, and it is the best-placed lunation of the month for a Scorpio. Holi week is the week to be among people rather than away from them, and something that has been building through a network is likeliest to pay out around it.
The Moon reaches Vrishchik Rashi itself twice this month, which only three signs get in March 2027 — Vrishchik, Dhanu and Makar. It is already there when the month opens and leaves at 4:26 pm on Monday 1 March; it returns at 2:17 pm on Friday 26 March and stays until 12:31 am on Monday 29 March. So your Chandra days bracket the month at both ends — a quiet first day, and a stronger two and a half days in the closing week, right after the eleventh-house Purnima.
The Closures
The Sun’s entry into Pisces at 6:55 am on the 15th is the Meena Sankranti, and it opens Meena Kharmas, which runs to 14 April 2027. Weddings, house-warmings, vehicle purchases and formal beginnings are closed for that whole stretch. Before it, Holashtak runs 14 to 21 March, ending at Holika Dahan on Sunday 21 March 2027.
Put together, the auspicious calendar for a Scorpio in March is the first thirteen days and nothing after. Since that also happens to be the fortnight in which your tenth house still has your ruler in it and the New Moon lands in your fourth, the overlap is convenient: act early, and let the second half be about receiving rather than starting. Our March 2027 marriage muhurat page works through what the arithmetic leaves open.

Week by Week
Thirty-one days, Monday to Wednesday. Mars rules Vrishchik Rashi, so Tuesday is your day, and there are five of them: 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30 March.
1–7 March
The strongest week of the month and the only one with your ruler still in your tenth house. The Moon leaves your own sign at 4:26 pm on Monday the 1st. Jupiter and Ketu are exact in your ninth on Monday the 1st. Then Mercury turns direct in your third at 6:02 pm on Wednesday the 3rd, and from Thursday what was stuck in writing starts moving. If there is a professional case to make, make it this week.
8–14 March
The New Moon lands in your fourth house at 2:59 pm on Monday the 8th — the month’s clean start, and best used at home rather than at work. Two days later, at 12:30 am on Wednesday the 10th, your ruler reverses into your ninth house and your tenth empties. Mercury changes house on Friday the 12th. Saturday the 13th is the last open day before Holashtak.
15–21 March
The closed week. Kharmas opens with the Sun joining Saturn in your fifth at 6:55 am on Monday the 15th, which is where the month’s pressure on children and creative work becomes visible. Venus meets Rahu in your third at 7:23 am on Wednesday the 17th — the week to read anything you are asked to sign, and to distrust a persuasive message. Holika Dahan is Sunday the 21st and Venus changes house that evening.
22–31 March
The month’s reward, such as it is. The Full Moon fills your eleventh house at 4:13 pm on Monday the 22nd — spend Holi week with people, because that is where the gain is. The Moon returns to your own sign from 2:17 pm on Friday the 26th to the small hours of Monday the 29th. Mars sits nearly still in your ninth at 26°41′ of Cancer through the close, waiting for 1 April.
Career and Money for Vrishchik Rashi
Career has a hard boundary this month and it falls at 12:30 am on 10 March. Before it, your ruler is in your tenth house and a professional push has something behind it. After it, your tenth house is empty and stays empty, and no planet enters it for the rest of March. That is not a bad month at work — it is an absent one. Do not read a lack of response in the second half as a rejection; there is nothing there to respond.
Money is better than career. Your eleventh house — the house of income and gain — receives the Full Moon on the 22nd, which is the strongest lunation placement any sign gets in March 2027 for that particular purpose. Your second house, Sagittarius, is empty, so earnings are not under pressure. The risk is on the outgoing side, in your third house, where Venus crosses Rahu on the 17th: an agreement made that week, especially with a sibling, a neighbour or a small local counterparty, is the month’s likeliest financial error. Our financial remedies page covers the standing observances.
Family, Home and Partnership
The fourth house gets the month’s best treatment: the Sun in it to the 15th, a New Moon in it on the 8th, Mercury from the 12th and Venus from the 21st. For a Scorpio that means home is where March goes well — a domestic beginning on the 8th, a repair, a rearrangement, time given to a mother. It is the compensation for an absent tenth house, and it is worth taking on its own terms rather than resenting.
Your seventh house, Taurus, is empty all month, so a marriage or a business partnership is not under any transit pressure. What is under pressure is the ninth house, and specifically a father, a teacher or an elder who stands for authority: exalted Jupiter there is generous, Ketu there is indifferent, and a debilitated retrograde Mars arriving on the 10th is old resentment with no good way out. The instruction is simple and it is the whole reading: let the elder be generous, and do not open the argument.
The fifth house carries Saturn, with the Sun joining on the 15th, so a child’s difficulty or a student’s discouragement is likelier in the second half than the first. Attend to it as a workload problem rather than a character one.
Health
Your sixth house, Aries, is empty all month and nothing enters it, which is the quietest possible reading for acute illness. The health note is indirect and it comes from Mars: your ruling planet is retrograde for the whole of March and debilitated from the 10th, and a weak Mars is low physical drive — not sickness, but a reluctance to exert that is easy to mistake for laziness. Expect less from your own stamina in the second half of the month and plan accordingly.
Mars in Cancer classically pulls towards the chest and the stomach, and towards heat expressed inwardly rather than outwardly — irritability held in, and digestion that reflects it. The most useful practical dates are Mercury turning direct on the 3rd, which is the month’s clearest window for getting an answer out of a test or a consultation, and the stretch running from the Full Moon on the 22nd through the end of your Chandra days on the 26th, which is the month’s natural window for rest.
Remedies for Vrishchik Rashi in March 2027
Four conditions: a ruler that is retrograde all month and debilitated in your ninth from the 10th, an exalted Jupiter with Ketu in that same ninth house, Venus over Rahu in your third on the 17th, and Saturn in your fifth with the Sun joining it.
- Hanuman worship on the Tuesdays — 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30 March: the month’s central observance, because Mars rules your sign and spends March both retrograde and, from the 10th, debilitated. The 9th is the one to keep — the night before it changes sign. See the Mangal remedies page, Tuesday fasting, and our Mangal dosh page.
- Guru worship on the Thursdays — 4, 11, 18 and 25 March: exalted Jupiter in the ninth house it naturally owns is the best thing in your chart this year and it ends on 26 June 2027. Turmeric, chana dal, and yellow given to a teacher or an elder rather than kept. See weak-Jupiter remedies and Thursday fasting.
- Ketu observance in the first week: Jupiter and Ketu were exact on 1 March in your ninth house, and Ketu there is what turns a teacher’s generosity into indifference. Black til, a grey cloth given away, a dog fed at your door. See the weak-Ketu page and our Rahu-Ketu page.
- Shukra observance on Friday 19 March: two days after Venus meets Rahu in your third house. White cloth, rice and ghee, something fragrant offered rather than worn. See Shukra remedies and Friday fasting.
- Saturday observance for Shani — 6, 13, 20 and 27 March: Saturn is in your fifth house, which is the harder side of a Saturn transit for Scorpio, and it has eleven weeks left before it reaches your favourable sixth on 3 June 2027. Sesame oil, black til, a peepal lamp after sundown. Forms on the Shani remedies page.
- Make the professional case before 10 March: the practical use of the reading. Your ruler leaves your tenth house that night and nothing replaces it.
- Do not open the argument with the father or the teacher: a debilitated retrograde Mars in the ninth is old anger with no clean exit, and the exalted Jupiter beside it is the reason the same conversation goes well if the other person starts it.
- Spend Holi week among people: the Full Moon on the 22nd falls in your eleventh house of gain and network, which is the month’s single best placement. Withdrawing that week wastes it.
In Summary
For Vrishchik Rashi, March 2027 turns on one instant: 12:30 am on Wednesday 10 March, when Mars — your ruling planet, already retrograde — reverses out of your tenth house and back into Cancer, debilitated, in your ninth. Your career house empties and nothing enters it again this month. The nine days before that are where a professional push belongs.
Where Mars lands is the interesting part. Cancer is your ninth house, Jupiter is exalted in it, and the ninth is the house Jupiter naturally owns — the strongest configuration available to you this year, holding until 26 June 2027. Ketu is there too, exact with Jupiter on Monday the 1st at 25°27′, and all three bodies crowd into about four degrees of Ashlesha. A father, a teacher or an institution is generous and you are irritable; take the generosity, skip the argument.
The rest is dated. Mercury turns direct in your third house at 6:02 pm on Wednesday the 3rd and stuck correspondence moves. The New Moon fills your fourth at 2:59 pm on Monday the 8th — the month’s clean opening, and the last one before Holashtak on the 14th. Venus meets Rahu in your third at 7:23 am on Wednesday the 17th, which is the week to read the small print. Meena Kharmas closes formal beginnings from 15 March to 14 April, with Holika Dahan on Sunday the 21st. Saturn presses on your fifth house all month, with the Sun joining it on the 15th, and leaves for your favourable sixth on 3 June 2027.
The month ends better than it runs. The Full Moon lands in your eleventh house of gain at 4:13 pm on Monday the 22nd, and the Moon returns to Vrishchik Rashi from 2:17 pm on Friday the 26th to 12:31 am on Monday the 29th — the second of your two passes this month. All of this is sign-level: which of the nine Scorpio padas holds your natal Moon, and what your ninth and tenth houses already carry, decides how much of it you feel. For more, read February’s reading, what Vrishchik Rashi settles and what the pada decides, and the March 2027 business and property arithmetic.
A retrograde ruler leaving your tenth house is a chart question
Whether an empty career house matters depends on your natal tenth lord and the dasha running. A reading works from those, not from the sign alone.
