March ushers in a season of renewal and transformation, inviting us to shed the weight of the past and embrace fresh beginnings. As the natural world awakens from winters slumber, we, too, are called to step into new possibilities with clarity and purpose. This month carries the energy of transitions– guiding us to release what no longer serves us and make space for growth, whether in our personal journeys, relationships, or spiritual evolution.
Just as the days grow longer and the earth blooms, March reminds us that transformation is a natural and necessary part of life. It is a time to align with our highest intentions, trust the process of change, and step forward with renewed energy and confidence.
Let’s take a look at the most important transits of the month:
March 2nd, 2025 – Venus Goes Retrograde
Venus retrograde periods are very important because they bring changes of heart and shifts in priorities. This is when we make up our mind (aka heart) on important matters.
This particular Venus retrograde is connected to the Venus retrograde cycles of March-April 2017 and March-April 2009, etc. – Venus retrograde revisits the same area of the zodiac every 8 years.
Some people, especially those with planets or angles in late Pisces and early Aries, may notice a repeating theme or pattern. If this is you, reflect on what was happening in your life during the previous Venus retrograde periods to note any similar themes.
One promising thing about this Venus retrograde cycle suggests that whatever work we need to do internally will help us grow and expand in meaningful ways. This is necessary work, and we will be thankful later.
March 3rd, 2025 – Mercury Enters Aries
We will feel the shift and embody that fiery, action-oriented energy – our thoughts will become sharper, decisions faster, and words more direct.
March 12th, 2025 – Sun Conjunct Saturn
Time for a reality check. How we experience it – as a challenge or an opportunity – depends on our relationship with “reality.”
When you hear the phrase “reality check,” does it sound like something positive or negative?
The truth is, there’s nothing inherently “good” or “bad” about reality. Reality simply is. It’s up to us to understand it and recognize the role we play within it.
This deep understanding is, in fact, an opportunity – a chance to assess who we are and how our purpose fits into the larger structure of life.
March 14th, 2025 – Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo
Welcome to the Eclipse Season!
What an incredible eclipse this is!
Firstly, it’s a total eclipse, which means it’s much more intense than a partial eclipse. We are going to feel this one deeply. It’s a South Node eclipse, meaning it’s more outcome-oriented, bringing resolutions that have been long in the making.
This speaks about a systemic change or a disruptive outcome that was long overdue and inevitable. The house of cards will collapse and what was unstable will finally find a resolution.
There may be no turning back from the path we’ve been on, but there’s a whole new horizon ahead of us.
That being said, things may not be entirely what they seem. Just one day after the eclipse, Mercury, goes retrograde – almost like a cosmic “wait a second” moment, forcing us to reconsider or revise the situation.
There’s more to the plot – more revelations, more developments. Stay tuned.
March 15th, 2025 – Mercury Goes Retrograde
There is something significant that requires reflection, review, and reconsideration.
When there’s not just one, but two planets retracing the same degree in the zodiac, the message is clear: pay attention and take action – something here needs to be addressed.
Here are a few tips for navigating these potent energies:
With all this retrograde energy, it’s essential to balance the pull of reflection with grounded action.
Reflect Before Acting ~ Retrogrades ask us to slow down, reassess, and reflect. It’s not the best time to start new ventures or make major decisions, but it is a powerful time to review old projects or reconnect with old passions. Take the time to reflect on your values, what you desire in relationships, and how you communicate with others. This is a perfect moment to gain clarity on what needs to change in your life.
Surrender to the Flow ~ While retrogrades can bring delays or setbacks, they are also about letting go of control and surrendering to the process. If you feel stuck, take a breath and trust that everything is happening for your highest good. Eclipses, in particular, bring powerful energy for releasing what no longer serves us. Take time to meditate, journal, or reflect on what you need to let go of so you can make space for new opportunities.
Revisit & Reevaluate ~ Use the retrograde energy to revisit old wounds, habits, or patterns that need healing. This could be the perfect time to reconnect with people from the past or reflect on old dreams. Venus retrograde invites you to examine your relationship with self-worth, finances, and love, so take stock of what no longer aligns with your values. With Mercury retrograde in play, remember to stay patient with communication—clarify your thoughts and listen deeply to others.
Grounding & Reflection ~ Throughout the retrogrades, especially with the eclipses pulling at our emotions, remember to ground yourself. Take walks in nature, practice yoga, and immerse yourself in creative or meditative activities to clear your mind. Retrogrades are a time for introspection, so stay grounded and trust that this time is shaping you for a better future.
By embracing the energy of these retrogrades and the powerful eclipses, you can rebalance, realign, and release old patterns that no longer serve you.
March 17th, 2025 – Sun Conjunct North Node
This is that once-a-year opportunity to connect with ourselves and our purpose.
Words like “purpose” are often overused to the point of losing their significance – but really, what could be more important than our individual purpose in life?
Yes, “purpose” is a broad term because it means something different for everyone. But this conjunction is the universe’s way of giving us a yearly chance to get closer to discovering what it truly is.
As the famous quote says: “The two most important days of your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.“
March 19th, 2025 – Sun Conjunct Neptune
That purpose, that tingle deep in your soul, will be awakened.
It will be inspiring, nothing is too far off, nothing is impossible. It will be compelling because the enrgy now makes this vision impossible to resist and gives us the determination to pursue it.
No, this is not “just a dream.” Everything that we have ever built, achieved, or transformed was once a vision, a spark in someone’s imagination.
March 20th, 2025 – Sun Enters Aries
Happy New Astrological Year & Spring Equinox
This is when the cycle begins again, bringing a surge of fresh energy and momentum.
If you’re an Aries, you are naturally embedded in this energy of bold emergence and limitless possibility.
For all the rest of us, Aries season is an opportunity to press the reset button, embracing a renewed sense of optimism, initiative, and new beginnings.
1. Planting Intentions Ritual
Just as spring brings new life, use this time to set intentions for what you wish to grow in the coming months. Write down your goals, dreams, or affirmations on small slips of paper. Then, plant them in the soil beneath a new plant, flowers, or herbs. As you nurture this living thing, you symbolize the care and energy you are giving to your own growth and transformation.
2. Sunrise Energy Activation
Honor the balance of the Equinox by rising early to greet the sun. Step outside, take deep breaths, and stand with your feet firmly on the ground, visualizing the light of the sun filling your body with strength, renewal, and clarity. Speak aloud what you are calling in for this new season, embracing the fresh energy of spring with an open heart.
29th, 2025 – New Moon Eclipse In Aries
The eclipse chart looks pretty good! This reinforces a message of hope – reassurance that while things are changing rapidly, the change is ultimately for our greater good.
This is the time to trust yourself, follow your passions, and take courageous steps toward your dreams.
1. Fire Ritual for Courage & Manifestation
Since Aries is ruled by fire, this is a potent time for a fire ritual to burn away fear and hesitation. Write down anything that has been holding you back—self-doubt, old fears, or limiting beliefs—on a piece of paper. Safely burn it in a fireproof bowl or outside under the night sky, watching the flames transform the energy. Then, write down what you are ready to create and claim for yourself and place it somewhere visible as a daily reminder of your power.
2. Embodiment Activation: Move with Intention
Aries energy thrives in movement, making this a great time to activate your body and ignite your personal power. Go for a run, practice yoga, dance, or engage in a physical activity that makes you feel strong and energized. As you move, set the intention to embody your courage and strength, letting go of any stagnation or resistance. Visualize yourself stepping into your highest potential with confidence and purpose.
March 30th, 2025 – Neptune Enters Aries
This shift will bring major transformations, some of which may take many of us by surprise.
There may be a moment where a piece of information or insight could change everything. We might not see an abrupt, shocking change – but nothing is ever predictable, especially since this ingress happens right after an eclipse.
Yet, whatever it is, something will shift, and the impact will be so profound that it may take time to fully understand.
We can expect major global developments as well as personal shifts. Whatever has been a dominant theme in your life over the past 14 years (as represented by the house Neptune was transiting) will now evolve into something entirely different.
We are entering a brand-new 14-year chapter – and the house where you have Aries in your chart will give you important clues about how this transit will unfold for you personally.
This month is time to finally see sh!+ move and big breakthroughs are on the horizon. While it will take Mars about a month or so to really get up and rolling, slowly, day by day you will notice that your vitality will increase and solutions + actions to your issues will begin to happen.
To honor this month’s reset energy, take a moment to embrace new beginnings through a Spring Writing Ritual.
Spring Writing Ritual
What You’ll Need:
~ A journal or loose sheets of paper
~ A candle (preferably green, white, or yellow)
~ A small bowl of fresh spring water or herbal tea
~ A flower or small offering to honor the Earth
Instructions:
Prepare Your Sacred Space ~ Find a quiet place where you can sit comfortably. Light your candle and place your bowl of water beside it as a symbol of spring’s cleansing and life-giving energy. Hold your flower or offering, setting an intention to align with the renewal of the season.
Ground & Breathe ~ Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Imagine roots extending from your body into the earth, connecting you to the nourishing energy of the land. Feel the warmth of the sun and the gentle stirrings of new life all around you.
Set Your Intention ~ Whisper or silently affirm: I open myself to the wisdom of the season. May my words flow with clarity, renewal, and inspiration, just as nature awakens in perfect harmony.
Automatic Writing ~ Without overthinking, begin writing whatever comes to you. You may reflect on:
What aspects of my life are ready to bloom?
What am I releasing from the past season?
How can I align more deeply with the energy of renewal?
Close & Offer Gratitude ~ When you feel complete, pause and reread what you have written. Dip your fingers in the water and touch your heart, sealing your intention. Leave your flower or offering outside as a gift to the Earth in gratitude.
