March 2025 brings a dynamic month of shifting energies that will guide us through personal transformation, relationship reflections, and cosmic clean-up as we prepare for eclipse season. With key transits like Venus Stationing Retrograde, Mercury moving into Aries, and two eclipses shaking up our world, this month is packed with powerful opportunities for growth, healing, and shifting old patterns. Let’s dive into the highlights!
Venus Stations Retrograde in Aries – March 1, 2025
The month begins with Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and relationships, stationing retrograde in Aries on March 1st. Venus will be in retrograde until April 12, and this transit is a time for reviewing our relationships, values, and self-worth, especially regarding personal identity, independence, and how we assert ourselves in love. Expect old flames or unfinished relationship business to resurface for healing and closure. Venus in Aries encourages us to be direct and bold, but during its retrograde, it asks us to review how we’ve approached love, both with others and ourselves.
What to Expect:
- Revisiting past relationships or patterns in love
- Reevaluating how we assert ourselves in romantic partnerships
- Reaffirming self-worth and redefining personal values
Mercury Enters Aries – March 3, 2025
On March 3, Mercury, the planet of communication, enters Aries, energizing our mental processes and sparking bold, quick thinking and decision-making. Expect your mind to feel sharp, direct, and assertive—this is a time for speaking your truth and taking immediate action. Mercury in Aries can also bring impulsive decisions, so be mindful of jumping into things too quickly.
Mercury in Aries Sextile Pluto in Aquarius – March 3, 2025
Later the same day, Mercury in Aries will form a sextile to Pluto in Aquarius at 3°. This is a powerful alignment for mental transformation, deep insights, and uncovering hidden truths. This aspect can help us get to the core of what’s been holding us back and empower us to transform our thought processes and communications. It’s an excellent day for therapy, deep conversations, or creative breakthroughs that shake up outdated beliefs.
Eclipse Season Begins: Full Moon Eclipse in Virgo – March 14, 2025
Eclipse season kicks off on March 14, with a Full Moon Eclipse in Virgo at 8°. This powerful eclipse marks a culmination point in our journey toward healing, productivity, and bringing order to chaos. Full moons illuminate what needs to be released, and with Virgo’s influence, this is the perfect time to clean up areas of your life where you’ve been neglecting your health, organization, and daily routines. It’s also a time to release perfectionism and embrace practical healing.
What to Expect:
- Releases around health, work, and daily routines
- Completion of a major cycle in personal development
- Realigning with your purpose in service to others
Sun in Pisces Sextile Uranus in Taurus – March 14, 2025
On the same day as the Full Moon Eclipse, the Sun in Pisces will sextile Uranus in Taurus, activating a wave of unexpected, yet liberating change. This aspect could bring inspiration, flashes of insight, and an opportunity to break free from old patterns that no longer serve us. The Pisces energy connects to our spirituality and intuition, while Uranus in Taurus shakes up the material and financial realms. This is a powerful time to break free from limiting beliefs or old habits, and embrace new opportunities, especially in how we approach wealth, security, and personal freedom.
Mercury Stations Retrograde in Aries – March 15, 2025
Just after the Full Moon Eclipse, Mercury in Aries stations retrograde at 9°. Expect communication mishaps, technology breakdowns, and delays in plans. This retrograde will focus on reassessing your approach to direct communication, how you assert your needs, and any impulsive decisions made recently. As we enter the pre-shadow period of Mercury retrograde, it’s a time for revisions, reflection, and redoing things in a more thoughtful way.
The Spring Equinox: Sun Enters Aries – March 20, 2025
On March 20, the Sun enters Aries, ushering in Aries season and the Spring Equinox. Aries energy brings bold new beginnings, courage, and a desire to take action. With Venus retrograde and Mercury retrograde influencing the month’s energy, this Aries season may feel like a clean-up and preparation for new cycles. It’s a time to ignite fresh energy, pursue personal goals, and take risks in areas of life where you’ve been hesitant to act.
What to Expect:
- New beginnings after a period of reflection
- Increased energy and motivation to take action
- Fresh starts in relationships and career paths
Lilith Enters Scorpio – March 26, 2025
On March 26, Lilith moves into Scorpio, intensifying the shadow work related to our deepest desires, power struggles, and unconscious fears. This transit will bring healing and transformation to our relationships with sexuality, intimacy, and unresolved emotional trauma. Lilith in Scorpio helps us face the dark side of ourselves and embrace our personal empowerment, calling for us to transform our inner shadows and reclaim the aspects of ourselves we’ve buried.
Mars in Cancer Square Chiron in Aries – March 26, 2025
Also on March 26, Mars in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries, highlighting a conflict between the need to protect and nurture (Cancer) and the need to assert individuality (Aries). This aspect may bring up emotional wounds, especially around vulnerability and self-expression, triggering the need for healing and emotional courage. Use this time to heal old wounds around assertiveness, emotional strength, and how you relate to your own sense of self-worth.
Venus Retrograde Conjunct Neptune in Pisces – March 27, 2025
On March 27, Venus retrograde will conjunct Neptune in Pisces, activating spiritual love, fantasy, and illusions. This aspect can bring deep romantic idealism, but also potential disappointments as we face unrealistic expectations in relationships. It’s a time to ground your ideals in reality, especially when it comes to love and finances. Be cautious of misunderstandings or rose-colored glasses that distort the truth.
Solar Eclipse in Aries – March 29, 2025
The month culminates with a Solar Eclipse in Aries at 8° on March 29. This eclipse marks a final clean-up connected to the North Node and South Node transit through Aries and Libra. Eclipses bring powerful shifts in our personal identity, goals, and life direction, and this one will feel especially potent in terms of setting intentions for bold new beginnings. With Mercury retrograde in Pisces, it’s a time to reflect on what you truly want, but also a reminder to release old habits and relationships that no longer align with your higher purpose.
March 2025 is a month of reflection, transformation, and powerful new beginnings. With Venus retrograde, eclipse season, and a mix of Mercury, Sun, and Mars transits, expect to navigate intense emotional shifts, breakthroughs, and healing. The key theme is preparation for a new cycle—a clean-up of old patterns, emotional clarity, and setting the stage for growth in all areas of life.
