March 2025 Astrology Insight

Welcome to March 2025!

This March brings themes of deep reflection, evaluation, and perhaps a desire for escapism. Two personal planets are retrograde, eclipses occur, and an outer planet changes signs. This might be a significant month of the year. Working on shadow integration and partnerships could help redefine personal values. Illusions and misunderstandings are part of the process. It’s a period for letting go and reinventing personal identity, with a strong desire for bold new beginnings.

Key Planetary Aspects in March:

Venus Stations Retrograde in Aries, Mercury Conjunct North Node & Mercury Conjunct Neptune – 2nd March

Every 18 months, Venus moves retrograde, prompting deep reflection on personal values and relationships. These areas may feel more challenging, requiring introspection. Venus in Aries does not suppress emotion, but rather reassesses personal desires in love, how we assert independence in relationships, and what we truly value. Financial reconsiderations may arise, especially regarding impulsive spending. Mercury conjunct Neptune adds intuitive, dreamlike communication, but also increases the potential for misunderstandings. Important messages, particularly in or about partnerships may carry significance for our life direction.

Mercury Enters Aries – 3rd March

Thoughts and communication become more direct, impulsive, and assertive.

Confidence grows, and we are no longer hesitant to express ideas.

Quick decision-making, initiating new projects, and a desire to move forward characterise this period. However, with Venus retrograde, impulsive choices in relationships and finances may require extra reflection.

Full Moon & Lunar Eclipse in Virgo – 14th March at 06:54 (UTC/GMT)

This Full Moon marks a moment of culmination, closure, and achievement for projects begun in September 2024. As a Lunar Eclipse, its effects are intensified, accelerating events and pushing unresolved matters to the surface.

Themes include:

✔ Decluttering, refining habits, and improving routines

✔ Health and well-being – what needs healing?

✔ Bringing practical solutions to emotional challenges

This Eclipse illuminates areas where perfectionism, routine, or self-discipline may need adjustment, encouraging us to clear space for something better.

Mercury Stations Retrograde in Aries – 15th March

Miscommunication, misunderstandings, and mental fog become more prominent as Mercury begins its retrograde journey. Expect technological glitches, travel delays, and a need to rethink past conversations or decisions.

Themes of assertion and directness come into focus:

✔ Are we speaking impulsively, or is there a deeper truth we are missing?

✔ Is there something we need to revisit before pushing forward?

Slowing down before making big decisions is wise during this time.

Sun Enters Aries – The Spring Equinox – 20th March

The Astrological New Year begins! The Sun moves into Aries, bringing a renewed sense of energy, confidence, and motivation.

Themes:

✔ New beginnings & fresh momentum

✔ Acting on ambition & embracing leadership

✔ Courage, risk-taking, and initiating projects

This Equinox is a powerful time to set intentions and take bold steps forward.

Venus Retrogrades into Pisces & Venus Conjunct Neptune – 27th March

Venus, having been retrograde in Aries since early March, now moves back into Pisces, shifting the focus from independence to emotional depth.

Key themes:

✔ Re-evaluating ideal love, spiritual connections & emotional sensitivity

✔ Dreaming about relationships, but are they real or illusionary?

✔ Financial review – avoid overly idealistic investments

Solar Eclipse / New Moon in Aries – 29th March at 10:48 (UTC/GMT)

This Eclipse instils confidence that the new idea is viable, no more waiting, just action.

✔ A surge of confidence & initiation energy

✔ Embracing change & taking action

✔ Personal identity shifts & major transformations

However, Mercury & Venus still retrograde mean that action should be balanced with reflection. The Eclipse brings certainty in moving forward but patience may be required before everything fully aligns.

Mercury Retrograde in Pisces, Mercury Conjunct Neptune & Neptune Enters Aries – 30th March

Thoughts turn inward as Mercury retrograde in Pisces blurs the line between reality and imagination.

✔ Revisiting past dreams & aspirations

✔ Exploring intuition & the subconscious

✔ Potential for illusions—discern what is real vs. fantasy

🌊 Neptune enters Aries, beginning a new 14-year cycle that will shape collective consciousness. The focus moves from spiritual surrender (Pisces) to individualistic vision (Aries). This transit encourages self-empowerment, idealism in action, and bold new belief systems.

Final Reflection

Let’s clear space and welcome fresh energy into our lives. This month is about redefining identity, embracing transformation, and setting the foundation for a new chapter. 🚀✨
