March 2025 is going to be a shit show; there I said it!

I’m sure you’ll hear this from 68828728929 other astrologers on every platform but I figured you all needed the real tea before the love and light crowd complain about “fear-mongering”. (insert eye rolls) but when it comes to astrological transits, let’s be real—I’m not here to sugarcoat this cosmic shit show. If you prefer a soft approach to astrology, this might not be the post for you. I believe in staying ready rather than scrambling to get ready, and for those of us with a sense of humor, this chaos can be downright entertaining!

March 1: Venus Retrograde in Aries

March kicks off with Venus retrograde in the fiery sign of Aries. This transit urges us to reflect on our desires, relationships, and financial habits. While Venus typically symbolizes love and beauty, her retrograde brings the potential for relationship turmoil and financial missteps. Be cautious about impulsive decisions in love and spending—past relationships may return for a visit, and unresolved issues could surface. Take this time to reassess what you truly want in your life; introspection is key!

March 14: Lunar Eclipse in Virgo

On March 14, we experience a potent Lunar Eclipse in Virgo. This is a powerful time to wrap up important projects and acknowledge the hard work you’ve put in. The energy of this eclipse is strong, allowing you to gain recognition for your efforts. However, it’s also an opportunity to confront stress. Use this time to find healthier outlets or to release what’s been weighing you down. The Virgo energy encourages us to prioritize our well-being, so take the opportunity to cleanse your life of negativity.

March 15: Mercury Retrograde in Aries

Just as we’re getting our bearings, Mercury retrogrades into Aries on March 15. Communication mishaps and technological snafus are likely to occur, so double-check your messages and be mindful of misunderstandings. This isn’t the time to start new projects or make significant decisions; rather, use this period for reflection. It's essential to be patient and to avoid rushing into anything—take a step back and think things through.

March 20: Sun Enters Aries

As the Sun enters Aries on March 20, we welcome the astrological new year! This shift brings a fresh surge of energy and enthusiasm, igniting a sense of initiative. It’s time to embrace new beginnings and set ambitious intentions for the year ahead. However, keep in mind that while the energy is vibrant, it’s essential to temper that fire with caution, especially given the retrograde transits still in play.

March 27: Venus Retrograde Enters Pisces

On March 27, Venus retrograde moves into the dreamy realm of Pisces, intensifying our emotional landscape. This is a period to explore past relationships and unresolved feelings but beware of idealizing the past. Instead of getting lost in nostalgia, focus on healing and self-love. This transit invites you to dive deep into your emotions, but do so with care—ground yourself and remember that clarity may be hard to come by during this time.

March 29: Mercury Retrograde Enters Pisces

As if we needed more complexity, Mercury retrogrades into Pisces on March 29. Expect a fog of confusion surrounding communication and decision-making. This is not the time for clarity; instead, it’s an opportunity to tap into your intuition and creativity. Avoid making major life changes, as the energy is too murky for sound judgment. Instead, use this time for inner reflection and exploration of your dreams and aspirations.

March 29: Aries Solar Eclipse

The same day Mercury retrogrades into Pisces, we also experience an Aries Solar Eclipse. This eclipse is a powerful moment for new beginnings, but approach it with mindfulness. The energy is ripe for setting intentions, but don’t rush into anything without careful consideration. It’s a time to manifest your desires, but remember to stay grounded and avoid impulsive actions that could lead to regret.

March 30: Neptune Enters Aries

Finally, on March 30, Neptune begins its move into Aries, marking a significant event for the year. Neptune, the planet of spirituality, encourages us to take initiative in our spiritual journeys. While Mercury and Venus retrogrades may feel like obstacles, they are highlighting what we need to address before moving forward. This is a time to embrace spiritual exploration and let your intuition guide you, even amidst the chaos.

March 2025 is shaping up to be an intense month filled with transformative energy. While the chaos may feel overwhelming at times, it’s also an opportunity for growth and reflection. Embrace the ride, laugh through the challenges, and remember to stay grounded in your intentions.
