Greetings Everyone,
I have finally come out of the heavy schedule that I’ve been abiding by since November 2024!
A lot has happened in the world since November 2024 and we are all finding ways to deal with keeping our personal peace. My wish is that you are.
March is the time for adjustments and revising our plans, ideas or projects to better fit the beginning of Eclipse season. January and February we worked through Mars Retrograde in Cancer, finally turning direct on February 23rd.Mars is still at the same degree (17 degrees) slowly moving up to regular Mars motion. Depending on where you have Cancer in your Chart, I’m sure you can sense a feeling of being more effective now.
March is the Month in 2025 that stands on its own. We enter many shifts starting with the Aries and Pisces houses getting numerous transits, Eclipses and retrogrades.
March 1st Venus stations Retrograde at 10 degrees Aires. Fire element Aries/Venus -contemplating what we need & want. Venus retrogrades give us a 6-week space to reevaluate our relationships, self-worth, our financial worth, our relationship patterns from the past, connections to the past. We had a Venus Retrograde similar to this one back 8 years ago in 2017. Think about the themes you may have dealt with and apply them to where you are now. What were you reinventing? How did you reassess or correct some of the relational pieces of your life 8 years ago?
March 27th Venus Retrograde re-enters Pisces 29 degrees & Conjoins Neptune 29 Pisces
We flow back into the water element that is more receptive and compassionate to our desires and especially the desires of those we love. Still reworking our relational patterns, self-worth or financial situations from January. How do we get our needs met and what can we let go of as well (Neptune)?
April 13th Venus stations direct at 24 degrees Pisces~ conjunct Saturn 26 Pisces and sextile Uranus Taurus 25. Venus energy is highlighted by making something solid (Saturn) committed, and by using a different path (Uranus) to create something exciting, moving forward with what we learned.
March 14th Full Moon /Total lunar Eclipse 23 degrees Virgo opposite Saturn Pisces 22 and Trine Uranus Taurus 24. Eclipses are wild cards, we never see the end or beginning within them because they are concealed until they reveal themselves. Virgo is an earth element and ruled by Mercury in Aries during this Eclipse. March 15th Mercury stations retrograde. We may have an unexpected -face or a reverse effect in our plans, ideas, thoughts and decisions once the Lunar Eclipse is complete. Uranus is trine the Eclipse degree, allowing for unexpected shifts that can work in our favor. Saturn Pisces opposite the Eclipse can withhold its true feeling, but if we feel opportunity around Uranus /Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse energy, let the cards fall where they may.
March 15th Mercury 09 degrees Aires stations retrograde. Mercury in the sign of Aries is very forward, quick to decide, creative and impatient. When Mercury slows down, our decisions need to focus more on the details, which can be a challenge for a fired-up Mercury. Take some time during this period to use discretion when making decisions or having serious conversations. What would be best for your future? Try not to get stuck in feelings or memories from the past, good time to reassess not make firm decisions.
March 30th Mercury Retrograde re-enters 29 Pisces and conjoins Neptune 29 Pisces Allow for flexibility, adjustments and look for resilience in what you have been discovering since March began.
April 8th Mercury stations Direct 26 Pisces conjoined to Saturn/Venus Pisces-Moving forward may feel like a group effort, as Venus always connects us to others, and Saturn creates responsibility.
**As we move through the Retrograde Transits of Venus & Mercury Aries, so close on the same trail, both meeting up with Neptune Pisces mid-way, back-to-back Cazimi’s and ending the journey with Saturn Pisces. This speaks to writers, artists, musicians, creatives who have an appreciation of beauty and thoughts about love. Our minds (Mercury) and hearts (Venus) have this period to course correct what we can control, our own creative expression. We can harness what brings joy to make it more of our reality.
March 22nd Venus 02 Aries conjunct Sun 02 Aries CAZIMI
A Cazimi moment is when the Sun merges and amplifies a planet to create a brilliant energy briefly. “To be in the heart of the Sun” Pay attention to what attracts you on this day, spectacular creative energies can arise.
March 24th Mercury 04 Aries conjunct Sun 04 Aries CAZIMI
Watch for interestingideas, conversations, social media pieces, messages that inspire you. Mercury in Aries is impulsive so let it sink in, write it down and revisit this possibly brilliant idea for April.
March 29th New Moon/Solar Eclipse 09 Aries
A New Moon /Solar Eclipse in Fire element of Aries can amplify the feeling of the start of something brand new. Aries loves being a pioneer, or to trailblaze an idea without fear. As we have been moving through March, we may encounter delays or challenges to our spirit of forging ahead. This Solar Eclipse has the same degrees that Venus & Mercury started their retrograde journey on (Mercury RX 09 Aries & Venus RX 10 Aries) It is linked very closely with the energy of March. Create ideas, images ect. To use this strong manifesting energy to begin fresh in the Aries part of your chart.
Aries Keywords: Adventurous, leadership, assertive, active, energetic, direct and passionate.
March 30th Neptune enters Aries 00 degrees (Aries Point!)
Neptune has been in a water element Pisces since 2011, Neptune has about 14 yr. transit in one Zodiac sign. The last time Neptune spent time in Aries was April 13 1861. It is our time to integrate this energy into our lives, again the Fire element of Aries is initiating something, creating and trailblazing. Neptune, like the ocean, is vast, deep and holds mystery. Neptune is a slow-moving outer planet, invisible to the eye. It is linked to imagination, idealism, fantasy, psychic receptivity, dreams, spirituality, confusion and deceit. Neptune believes in magic and the creation of illusion. We find a sense of enchantment and glamour in the realm of Neptune. We also can get lost in addiction and delusion. Neptune transit energy can be very subtle, and slowly make us aware of its presence while entering a new element. We may start to realize our old dreams through Pisces aren’t what we desire anymore.
We are now starting a new adventurous dream in Aries!
Neptune station Retrograde July 6th 02 Aries and then Retrograde back to Pisces 29 on October 22nd, then re entering Aries for 14 yrs on January 27th 2026.
I wish you all joy and fulfillment as we navigate through March.
