March 1, 2025 — The astrology of March marks a period of chaos, transformation, and reflection. Major astrological events reshape our inner and outer worlds, preparing us for revolutionary shifts ahead. This is one of the most intense months of the year, featuring two eclipses, a brush between Saturn and Neptune, and Venus and Mercury retrogrades—all occurring at the end of Pisces and beginning of Aries. We’re entering a time of epic release and purgation as we clear space for bold initiations. Throughout the month, we’re called to recalibrate our resources and relationships, confront deep-seated patterns, and meet uncertainty with fearlessness and intelligence.

Without a doubt, this is a time that calls for great spiritual warriorship. Pisces represents compassion, while Aries is bravery. The moment demands that we remain open, strong, and awake—holding fast to our ideals while refusing to succumb to apathy, despair, or nihilism.

By mid-March, eclipse season is in full force, with a Virgo total lunar eclipse arriving on March 14. This lunation exposes truth and pushes us toward significant healing and reorganization. Eclipse season remains for the next four weeks while Venus and Mercury retrograde in the background. Dreams and synchronicities are amplified, speeding up our evolution.

Aries season arrives on March 20, marking the equinox and astrological new year. On March 29, the Aries solar eclipse offers a further reset, urging us to set objectives and establish clear intentions and desires.

By March 30, Neptune enters Aries for the first time since 1875, activating an era of visionary action. This shift encourages us to channel ideals into tangible change—whether through activism, leadership, or creative innovation. We're moving out of passive reflection and into courageous manifestation. Thus begins a battle of values—reality versus illusion, empathy versus selfishness. 

As we navigate these difficult times, we can remember that love remains the most powerful force there is, overriding materialism, greed, and division. We’re emerging from the fog—sharper, wiser, and more empowered than ever. The future is in our hands, and the choices we make now determine the path ahead.

March 2025 TRANSITS

VENUS RETROGRADE IN ARIES → PISCES:
RECALIBRATING LOVE, VALUES, AND FINANCES
March 1–April 12, 2025

Venus retrograde begins in Aries on March 1, prompting a reevaluation of relationships, finances, and priorities. This transit urges us to revisit unresolved matters, offering an opportunity to clarify our intentions and prepare for the significant shifts on the horizon. Emotional depth intensifies as Venus returns to Pisces on March 11, calling us to align our values with greater empathy, grace, and fortitude.

SATURN-NEPTUNE CONJUNCTION:
BUILDING A NEW VISION

Though not exact yet, Saturn and Neptune are inching toward their conjunction, which will perfect multiple times in the coming years. This potent alignment dissolves old systems while ushering in immense creative energy. It’s a moment to dismantle what no longer serves and consciously build new foundations rooted in a higher vision.

VIRGO FULL MOON TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE:
RELEASING THE PAST

A lunar eclipse forms at 23° Virgo on March 14, illuminating themes of health, routine, and service. As a total eclipse, its impact is profound—accelerating karmic shifts, revealing truths, and pushing us to let go of outdated habits and patterns. We may feel a rapid unfolding of events as hidden dynamics come to light, allowing us to swiftly move through lingering obstacles and pain. Pay attention to synchronicities that arrive now—they will help guide the way forward.

MERCURY RETROGRADE IN ARIES → PISCES:
LEARNING TO SPEAK TRUTH WITH LOVE
March 15–April 7, 2025

Mercury stations retrograde in Aries on March 15, sparking a review of our communication, commitments, decision-making, and direction. As Mercury backtracks into Pisces on March 26 alongside Venus, rigid mental structures dissolve, intuition heightens, and relational healing takes center stage. This retrograde is especially impactful, highlighting the need to rectify relationships and attachment wounds as we prepare for breakthroughs and immense change later in the year.

SUN IN ARIES, THE EQUINOX + ASTROLOGICAL NEW YEAR:
A FIERY NEW BEGINNING

The Sun’s entry into Aries on March 20 marks a turning point—it’s the astrological new year and equinox, when day and night are of equal length. This celestial shift brings a surge of vitality, bold action, and fresh beginnings. We transition from the dreamy waters of Pisces into the fiery action of Aries, which infuses us with renewed energy and determination to pursue our goals. It’s time to embrace the pioneering spirit of Aries and move forward with confidence and determination.

ARIES SOLAR ECLIPSE:
IGNITING PASSION, POWER, AND PURPOSE

The Aries New Moon partial solar eclipse arrives on March 29 at 9° Aries, encouraging us to set intentions that align with our deepest passions and ambitions. This powerful reset amplifies the dynamic Aries energy, encouraging fresh starts, courageous action, and leadership. With the North Node in Aries, this marks a pivotal moment for personal and collective destiny. The time for reflection is ending—what leaps are we ready to take? Leadership, courage, and decisive action are key themes as we set the stage for the next chapter.

NEPTUNE IN ARIES:
DREAMS IN MOTION: A NEW ERA OF ACTION
2025-2039

Neptune’s monumental shift into Aries on March 30 ignites a new era of visionary action. The last time Neptune was in Aries (1861-1875), radical change and revolutionary movements swept the world. Now, we are called to transform ideals into tangible reality. This generational shift inspires us to turn our dreams into reality, blending spiritual insight with courageous action. A battle is emerging—between heart-centered interconnection and ego-driven materialism. Neptune in Aries infuses this fight with spiritual fire, pushing us to stand behind our highest ideals and take action toward a truly enlightened society.

We are at a turning point. The passive dreaming of Pisces gives way to Aries' courage. The urgency is real—the world is shaped by how we show up to meet this moment, beginning inside our own hearts.

MARCH 2025 ASPIRATION

As we move through this transformative month, may we embrace introspection and release outdated patterns. May we call on Aries to pursue our dreams with courage and clarity, meeting upheaval, fear, and uncertainty with Pisces’ compassion and grace. Above all, may we remember love as we embody the truth of our interconnection.
