March 2026

March is the third month of the year in the Gregorian calendar and has 31 days. Its name comes from Mars, the Roman god of war, because in ancient Rome, March was the first month of the year and marked the beginning of the military season.

In the Northern Hemisphere, March signals the start of spring, bringing warmer weather, blooming flowers, and longer days. In the Southern Hemisphere, it marks the beginning of autumn.

March is associated with the zodiac signs Pisces and Aries, the birthstone Aquamarine, and the birth flower Daffodil. It is also a month of several important cultural and international events, such as International Women’s Day (March 8) and St. Patrick’s Day (March 17).
