We have arrived in March, dear reader, in what feels like a fast-forwarded journey through 2025. The year is no longer new; we are fully committed now, navigating its unfolding path with cautious optimism. At last, Jupiter and Mars have regained their momentum last February, turning direct and completing the tally of ALL planets moving forward. Finally, the cosmic gears are in motion, pushing us ahead with clarity and renewed purpose! — well, at least until now.
March is an incredibly important stopover in this cosmic journey—arguably one of the year’s biggest turning points. The sky is ripe, full, and restless, but not in a way that brings warm glows or butterflies in the stomach. We’ve barely regained our balance before we’re thrust back into defense mode—necessarily so. Eclipse season is upon us once again, this time tangled with the double retrograde of Venus and Mercury, layering complexities that we may not fully grasp until long after the dust has settled.
VENUS and MERCURY turn RETROGRADE
Early this month, VENUS, the planet of love, romance, and relationships, turns retrograde in Aries, a sign where Venus naturally struggles. This period can feel emotionally abrasive, stirring tensions wherever Aries falls in your chart. Past lovers, unresolved situationships, or lingering romantic connections may resurface, bringing friction, confusion, or even unexpected revelations. However, this retrograde also offers a chance to finally seek or provide necessary closure, where there was none. Avoid making sudden aesthetic changes or impulsive purchases—especially costly ones—as regret or buyer’s remorse is highly likely, no matter how confident you felt at the moment!
Simultaneously, MERCURY catches up, joining VENUS in her backward dance—right in ARIES—intensifying tension and confusion in the area of your chart where this occurs. Mercury retrogrades are already disorienting, but in ARIES, the sign of the warrior, they can fuel impulsive exchanges if emotions aren’t kept in check. Mercury here is blunt, even borderline aggressive, making it crucial to be mindful of your words—once spoken, some things may be impossible to take back, no matter how remorseful you may feel afterwards.
WELCOME TO ECLIPSE SEASON!
Adding to the cosmic mix, we now enter eclipse season, with two eclipses shaping the month ahead. As always, lets dive into an overview:
The LUNAR ECLIPSE in VIRGO, conjunct the SOUTH NODE, marks a turning point in how we manage habits, routines, and responsibilities. It pushes us to recognize patterns that no longer serve us—whether it’s overworking, striving for perfection, or taking on more than we should. The South Node’s influence reminds us that clinging to rigid expectations or trying to control everything can hold us back. This eclipse is about simplifying, making practical choices, and creating a healthier, more sustainable way forward.
Those with personal planets and points from 19°-28° of MUTABLE SIGNS (GEMINI, VIRGO, SAGITTARIUS, PISCES) will feel this eclipse strongly, most especially those born on these dates:
♊︎ GEMINI: JUNE 9-18
♍︎ VIRGO: SEPTEMBER 11 - 20
♐︎ SAGITTARIUS: DECEMBER 11 - 20
♓︎ PISCES: MARCH 10 - 19
This PARTIAL SOLAR ECLIPSE in ARIES marks the final chapter of a three-part cycle that began in 2023, bringing closure to themes of self-assertion, independence, and personal direction. As the last in this series, it pushes us to take decisive action—whether that means stepping into leadership, breaking away from limiting situations, or finally prioritizing what truly matters.
While past struggles may have tested our confidence, this moment is about embracing courage, trusting our instincts, and setting the course for a future that reflects who we are now—not who we used to be!
Those with personal planets and points from 5°-15° of CARDINAL SIGNS (ARIES, CANCER, LIBRA, CAPRICORN) will feel this eclipse strongly, most especially those born on these dates:
♈︎ ARIES: MARCH 26 - APRIL 4
♋︎ CANCER: JUNE 26 - JULY 5
♎︎ LIBRA: SEPTEMBER 28 - OCTOBER 7
♑︎ CAPRICORN: DECEMBER 27 - JANUARY 5
And as the cherry on top, NEPTUNE—the planet of compassion, illusion, and ideology—changes signs for the first time since entering PISCES back in 2011! Now, it moves into fiery ARIES, joining the ongoing retrogrades, where its watery nature is bound to heat up to a scalding boil!
For specific details on how this month’s Cosmic Weather may affect you, you will need your exact birth time, birthplace, and a competent astrologer who can compute and interpret your charts. However, knowing the general energies at play can greatly assist in planning ahead.
