March 2026
March is the third month of the year in the Gregorian calendar and it has 31 days. It is often seen as a time of seasonal change. In the Northern Hemisphere, March marks the beginning of spring, while in the Southern Hemisphere it signals the start of autumn.
The name March comes from Mars, the Roman god of war. In the early Roman calendar, March was originally the first month of the year, which is why it has long been associated with new beginnings.
People born in March fall under two zodiac signs: Pisces (February 19 – March 20) and Aries (March 21 – April 19).
The March birthstone is Aquamarine, which is traditionally associated with calmness, courage, and clarity. The birth flower for March is the Daffodil, symbolizing renewal, hope, and new beginnings.
March also includes the March Equinox, when day and night are nearly equal around the world, marking the official start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere.
