March ‘25 astro-weather

March begins with Venus in retrograde, bringing unresolved emotions, past relationships, and financial matters into focus. As retrograde Venus moves from Aries into Pisces on March 27, it urges us to reflect on where we are undervaluing ourselves and allowing others to take us for granted.

While old flames or past partnerships may resurface, the true purpose of this period is self-exploration—reassessing personal values and setting healthy boundaries. Ask yourself: How can I reignite passion in my life, love, and within myself? What truly excites me? Which relationships have faded, and which still burn bright? Where have I neglected my own needs to my detriment? What truly drives me, and where am I no longer willing to compromise? Have I been chasing pleasures that failed to bring real happiness?

Retrograde Venus also brings past emotions to the surface, offering a chance to view them from a new perspective. Venus turns direct on April 13, and until then, it’s wise to avoid impulsive decisions or final conclusions. Relationships and collaborations that begin during retrograde period often struggle to last once Venus resumes its direct motion.

Additionally, this is an ideal time for a financial review—addressing bad money habits and making necessary adjustments for a more stable future.

On March 2, we have the exact conjunction of Mercury and Neptune—an important alignment, as it will repeat when Mercury goes retrograde. This is a highly intuitive conjunction, amplifying messages received through dreams, including prophetic ones, as well as deep gut feelings and subconscious insights. It’s an ideal energy for creativity and artistic expression.

However, since this conjunction takes place in Pisces, with Neptune involved and Mercury in its fall, it all unfolds at the infamous final degree of the sign. This means Mercury, embraced by Neptune, can blur the line between reality and illusion, increasing the likelihood of deception and gullibility. It’s essential to double-check all information before making final decisions, as this energy is also associated with lies and misunderstandings.

Neptune is the dominant force of March. It is finally changing signs—a shift that hasn’t occurred since the 1800s—marking a significant transformation in collective energy. Additionally, before the Sun, Venus, Mercury, and Saturn enter Aries, they must first confront Neptune at Pisces’ final degree, further intensifying Neptune’s influence throughout this period. This means that this month not everything will be as it seems at the first glance, so do not rush with any harsh or hasty decisions.

Another significant event on March 2 is the square between the Sun in Pisces and Jupiter in Gemini. This aspect adds to the previously mentioned Neptunian illusions, fueling excessive optimism and unrealistic expectations. The Sun in Pisces wants to follow dreams and ideals, while Jupiter in Gemini seeks more—more information, more expansion, more possibilities. However, in a square, this expansion can lead to scattered energy, and dreams may turn into illusions.

Under this influence, it’s easy to overestimate one’s abilities or rely too much on luck. Gemini represents duality and intellect, while Pisces embodies deep emotions and intuition, creating tension between the need to logically understand everything and the desire to experience life through feelings and the heart. This aspect can bring indecisiveness and a tendency to talk excessively about ideas without following through with concrete action.

Jupiter amplifies everything, and in a challenging aspect with the Sun, it can lead to exaggeration in behavior, emotions, and promises. People may feel the need to prove their worth in unrealistic ways, making it crucial to recognize personal limits and avoid making promises that can’t be kept.

During this transit, it’s essential to fact-check information, balance intuition with logic, and avoid making decisions based on pride or a false sense of superiority. This is a call to find harmony between spiritual growth and the practical application of knowledge. As the month begins, be mindful not to make impulsive decisions driven by overconfidence or idealism.

On March 3, Mercury enters Aries. In this sign, Mercury favors direct communication but can also be highly impulsive. There is a strong urge to clarify certain matters—particularly in relationships and finances, given Venus’ retrograde motion. This transit encourages independence and a desire to assert boundaries, making it clear that certain behaviors will no longer be tolerated.

However, with Mercury soon going retrograde, these discussions won’t be fully resolved until both Mercury and Venus resume their direct motion. The conversation is far from over.

On March 8, International Women’s Day, the Sun in Pisces forms a harmonious trine with Mars in Cancer, igniting a powerful drive to do what feels right. Mars in Cancer brings a protective and nurturing energy, while the Sun in Pisces offers inspiration and deep compassion. Together, they create a dynamic force that encourages purposeful action, guiding decisions that align with one’s inner truth.

This is an excellent aspect for those involved in humanitarian, spiritual, or creative projects. It also reinforces the theme Venus introduced at the beginning of the month—the courage to stand up for and protect what you truly value.

On a collective level, this transit will once again highlight the importance of women in today’s society, as within the symbolism of the March 8th. However, don’t forget to use this energy in a personal way—standing up for what truly matters in your own life.

On the other hand, passive-aggressive reactions are possible, as emotions may run high and influence responses. Some may struggle to express their frustrations directly, leading to subtle conflicts or unspoken tensions. It’s important to stay mindful of emotional reactions—both our own and those of others—and strive for open, honest communication rather than suppressing feelings.

On March 11, Mercury will conjunct Venus in Aries, bringing raw honesty—Aries does not wear masks. However, with Venus involved, there is also an opportunity for respectful communication. This energy encourages addressing past relationship issues, or at least taking the first steps, through honest and open communication.

The very next day, on March 12, the Sun will form an exact conjunction with Saturn. This is an aspect of facing reality and taking responsibility. Saturn brings seriousness and tests the strength of identity, willpower, ideals, and faith—especially since this conjunction occurs in Pisces. It’s a moment where external pressures may feel heavy, but also a chance to take ownership of personal dreams and ideals. Saturn asks, “What are you truly willing to do to make your dreams a reality?”

This conjunction can bring a sense of heaviness, fatigue, or doubt about personal goals. However, it’s important to remember that Saturn doesn’t offer instant rewards—it tests commitment and discipline. The key is a structured, patient approach to spiritual and personal growth. What is resolved during this period will lay the foundation for long-term stability.

On March 15, Mercury turns retrograde and will remain in this motion until April 8. During this period, it will once again form a conjunction with Neptune, which is still lingering at the final degree of Pisces.

While Mercury is retrograde in Aries, it will prompt you to reassess impulsive decisions made in the past. There is a heightened risk of conflicts arising from careless words, making it crucial to avoid misunderstandings. When Mercury retrogrades back into Pisces, intuition will take center stage, bringing back themes that challenge inner beliefs.

Retrograde Mercury in Pisces tends to blur reality, making communication more difficult. Combined with Neptune, misinterpretations and misleading conclusions are likely. Clarity may be elusive, so it’s important to double-check information and trust intuition while remaining grounded in reality.

On March 14, we experience the first eclipse of the month—a lunar eclipse that won’t be an easy one. This eclipse brings underlying tensions to the surface and may contribute to conflicts. It can evoke feelings of isolation, trials of faith, and a tendency to escape from reality.

On a global level, you may see the promotion of dystopian narratives that encourage avoidance, guilt, and repression. With Saturn and Neptune in Pisces influencing this eclipse, themes of totalitarianism, projection, and the search for illusory saviors may arise. Stories may circulate about someone or something coming to "save" a situation, only to later be revealed as deception.

This eclipse’s influence will extend over the next six months, keeping themes of false hope and distractions from what truly matters in focus. During this time, trust in governments, institutions, and political systems may continue to decline, driven by unrealistic economic policies and projects. This could lead to growing cynicism and rising inflation.

On a positive note, this eclipse supports cultural reforms and artistic achievements, making it a powerful time for those engaged in creative or intellectual pursuits. More importantly, it calls for the renewal of spiritual and moral values, highlighting the fragility of what we are trying to sustain. Ultimately, this eclipse marks the end of an era—the closing chapter of Neptune’s time in Pisces.

On March 20, the Sun moves into Aries, marking the beginning of spring. The spring chart is significant—not only for the season but also because it symbolizes the energy of the entire year. With Aries, the true new year begins.

On March 27, Venus retrogrades back into Pisces, once again forming a conjunction with Neptune. During this phase, there may be a tendency to idealize relationships—especially those from the past. It’s possible to fall into the illusion that everything has been resolved, that things are perfect again. However, in reality, this period is best used for deep introspection—to align inner values with your spiritual insights and beliefs.

This transit brings a longing for transcendence in love, but illusions are heightened, especially until Venus turns direct on April 13. Until then, it’s wise to wait and see—what you desire now may not be what you truly want once the fog lifts.

On March 29, a solar eclipse occurs in Aries. What makes this eclipse particularly intriguing is the complete absence of disharmonious aspects at the time of its occurrence. In astrology, a lack of challenging aspects suggests that events unfold smoothly, without resistance. However, this doesn’t mean problems won’t arise—only that they may develop with unexpected ease.

It’s important to note that this eclipse occurs in Aries, a sign associated with impulsiveness and a warrior spirit. The ruler of this eclipse, Mars, is linked to aggression and anger and is weakened in Cancer. While Mars is considered a personal planet, it is the last in the lineup of personal planets, making it the closest to raw instinct. Mars is driven by primal urges; in warfare, it is known for switching sides, as it is not concerned with righteousness—only with the act of battle itself. So, looking at this solar eclipse, caution is advised.

In astrology, when something appears to be absent, it often emerges in unpredictable ways. In ancient times, people were often advised to stay indoors during eclipses. Of course, nothing drastic will happen if you step outside, but the key message here is that eclipse periods are not ideal for initiating new ventures or making major decisions. Instead, it’s best to stick to routine tasks and allow the eclipse energy to pass before taking significant action.

And finally, on March 30, we witness the most significant event of the year: Neptune's entry into Aries for the first time. Although Neptune will still retrograde back into Pisces at times, this marks its initial step into Aries. On the same day, just before Neptune enters Aries, it will form an exact conjunction with retrograde Mercury in Pisces—as if Mercury is returning to guide Neptune into its new era.

Neptune in Aries will be a defining influence for years to come, remaining in Aries until 2038. This shift marks the rise of movements driven by a deep urge to fight for one’s visions and ideals. Aries, known for its passion and action-oriented nature, fuels a period where people worldwide may become more proactive in championing social justice and personal freedom. With Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus soon entering Gemini, we are stepping into an era of revolution, shaped by radical and unprecedented ideas that redefine our reality.

However, collective illusions must be approached with caution. Neptune in Aries can lead to the romanticization of risk and conflict, fueling utopian movements and charismatic "leaders" promising rapid change. Initially, these ideas may seem highly appealing, but over time, they’ll prove unsustainable, built on fragile foundations. There may be a growing tendency to glorify certain militant actions without fully considering their consequences, making it harder to discern genuine threats and dangers.

It will be crucial to remain vigilant, as narratives may push the idea that "we must not stop fighting; we must continue for justice and higher ideals," while behind the scenes, deception and manipulation unfold.

On the other hand, Neptune in Aries introduces a fresh spiritual energy, one that emphasizes connection with a higher purpose and the pursuit of individual spiritual missions. This era encourages a new form of faith—one that is bold, self-directed, and rooted in personal action.
