MERCURY RETROGRADE 2025

Astrology by: Lisa Stardust 

The last thing we need in the middle of eclipse season and Venus retrograde is for another planet to begin its moonwalk. Unfortunately, Mercury is being extra tricky this season and begins its backside on March 15 (the day after the total lunar eclipse in Virgo).

Being that this is the first Mercury retrograde of 2025, it’s going to hit hard. We are going to experience frustrations in communication — especially since Venus is retrograde in the same signs, creating havoc on the romance department and with our finances. The total lunar eclipse on March 14 and the solar eclipse on March 29 will bring repressed sentiments to a boil, making the current cosmic stew anything but digestible

From March 15 to April 7, Mercury moves back through the signs of Aries and Pisces. Internalized passions will come to the forefront of our minds and vocal cords when mercury is retrograde in Aries until March 29. After that, Mercury will be in intuitive Pisces, urging us to rely on our intuition and gut sentiments to make choices. When Mercury backslides into Pisces, it'll be hard for us to find the right words to express ourselves. Therefore, we’ll pay close attention to nonverbal communication and might easily misread tonality in texts or emails. Think before you hit send on a message in order to be clear with what you're trying to state.

As usual, be careful with technology and mindful of travel plans. Delays are likely, as well as mishaps. More importantly, watch your temper. Take a moment to cool down when mad. Be kind to others — more importantly, to yourself.
