About March 2026
Before January and February existed on the Roman calendar, March held the honor of opening the year — a role reflected in the fact that later months from September onward are still named for numbers (seven, eight, nine, ten) that only made sense when March was month one. Mars, the god of war, lent the month his name, appropriate for a culture that historically resumed military campaigns once winter weather cleared. The Northern Hemisphere's spring equinox lands around March 20, balancing day and night length before daylight pulls ahead; south of the equator, the same date marks the autumn equinox instead. Pale blue aquamarine is the gem tradition, cheerful daffodils the floral one, and the sky hands off from Pisces to Aries right around then.
March marks the start of the traditional spring planting season across much of the temperate Northern Hemisphere, as soil temperatures begin rising enough for early crops to be sown.
Daylight saving time begins in mid-March across the US and many other countries that observe it, shifting clocks forward and prompting a small but real spike in date-math and scheduling questions.
