March 2025 Astrology Forecast: Eclipse Season & A Cosmic Reset
March brings us into a month of profound shifts, resets, and whole new beginnings. With eclipse season beginning in Virgo and Aries, Venus and Mercury both retrograde, and Neptune’s historic ingress into Aries, this is a time of deep reflection, release, and transformation.
We are being called to re-evaluate relationships, communication, and personal power as we navigate the threshold between endings and new cycles.
Key Astrological Themes for March 2025
1. A Powerful Reset Begins
March opens with Mercury entering its pre-retrograde shadow in Pisces (March 1st), immediately signalling a need to slow down and reflect. The next day, Mercury conjuncts Neptune in Pisces, clouding clarity but enhancing intuitive insights. Simultaneously, the Sun squares Jupiter in Gemini, amplifying a sense of expansion—but possibly through confusion or overconfidence. To add to the intensity, Venus stations retrograde in Aries (March 2nd), beginning a cycle of deep re-evaluation in love, values, and self-worth.
✨ Everyday Magic Suggestion: Trust your intuition, but be mindful of idealism or miscommunication. This is a moment to reflect on what you truly desire, not rush into impulsive decisions.
2. Mercury & Venus Retrograde: A Dual Review
With both Mercury and Venus moving retrograde through Aries and Pisces, these two signs—first and last in the zodiac—are intricately tied together this month. We are navigating the end of an era and the beginning of something new.
• March 3rd: Mercury enters Aries, shifting communication from dreamy and intuitive to direct and assertive.
• March 11th: Mercury retrograde conjuncts Venus retrograde in Aries, merging love and communication themes. Expect revisited conversations, past relationships resurfacing, and a call to examine how you express yourself in love and partnerships.
• March 15th: Mercury stations retrograde in Aries, reinforcing the need to rethink personal identity, self-expression, and the way we initiate actions.
• March 27th: Venus retrogrades back into Pisces and conjuncts Neptune, bringing old love stories, artistic inspiration, or spiritual longing to the forefront.
✨ Everyday Magic Suggestion: Journaling and self-inquiry are essential tools this month. Reflect on how you communicate in relationships and whether your current path aligns with your deeper values.
3. March 14th: Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo – Releasing Perfection
The Total Lunar Eclipse at 23° Virgo is the first of eclipse season, marking a powerful release point. This South Node eclipse, opposite Saturn in Pisces and trine Uranus in Taurus, highlights where we are clinging to control, order, or perfection—and where we must let go to find true balance. Virgo’s precision meets the surrender of Pisces, inviting us to trust the process instead of micromanaging every detail.
✨ Everyday Magic Suggestion: Let go of the need for rigid perfection. If something feels overwhelming, step back and surrender. This eclipse wants you to release what is no longer serving your well-being.
4. March 20th: Aries Season & The Spring Equinox
The Sun enters Aries on March 20th, marking the beginning of the astrological year and the Spring Equinox. This is a rebirth moment, a fresh start infused with solar energy and personal power. Aries season asks us to step forward boldly, yet with awareness—especially since Mercury and Venus retrograde suggest that patience and review are just as necessary as action.
✨ Everyday Magic Suggestion: While Aries energy encourages momentum, the retrogrades suggest pacing yourself. Take action, but remain flexible to shifts and revelations.
5. March 29th: Solar Eclipse in Aries – Happy New Year!
The Partial Solar Eclipse at 8° Aries signals a bold new chapter in personal identity, leadership, and authenticity. Aries is the sign of initiation, courage, and independence, and this eclipse plants the seeds for a new version of yourself.
• This New Moon Eclipse is co-present with Mercury retrograde and Venus retrograde, meaning what is beginning now is tied to past cycles.
• We may not have full clarity yet—this is just the beginning of a larger journey of self-discovery.
✨ Everyday Magic Suggestion: Set intentions, but allow them to evolve over time. If you feel uncertain, trust that clarity will emerge as the retrogrades unfold.
6. March 30th: Neptune Enters Aries – A Generational Shift
One of the most significant cosmic events of the year, Neptune’s ingress into Aries is a epoch-changing shift. Neptune has been in Pisces since 2011, weaving a story of spiritual expansion, artistic inspiration, and boundary dissolution. As it moves into Aries, the energy shifts toward active spirituality, visionary leadership, and pioneering ideals.
✨ Everyday Magic Suggestion: Pay attention to where you feel a new calling emerging. This is the start of a 14-year journey that will redefine collective and personal dreams.
March 2025 is not a time for forcing rapid movement—it’s a time for resetting, revisiting, and preparing for profound new beginnings. With eclipse season, two major retrogrades, and Neptune’s ingress into Aries, we are being asked to move with awareness, trust the unfolding process, and embrace transformation with courage.
