This is the busiest astrological week of 2025! Mercury and Venus retrograde are making moves, while the solar eclipse is bringing change, and Neptune’s planetary switch is transforming our dreams. To prepare ourselves, it’s best to go with the flow since these planetary movements bring unpredictability. Don’t plan for the future; remain in the present to see what comes to fruition.

The Sun and Mercury create the “cazimi” effect on March 24, making it the best day of Mercury retrograde. The Sun revitalizes Mercury and gives it strength amidst its moonwalk. Mercury retrograde harmonizes with Pluto in Aquarius on March 25, pushing us to confront matters and situations. The caveat is that we might intensify the communication too much on the 25th, so try to be kind.

Romantic planet Venus backtracks into Pisces on March 27, linking up with Neptune. This aspect makes us delusional in love, even allowing us to trust people unworthy of our affection. Be careful about the heart and money — the odds of being swindled are higher than ever when these two planets come together. Don’t fall for get-rich-quick schemes.

The solar eclipse in Aries on March 29th asks us to move towards our passions. Put your needs and desires above anything else to find happiness. The same day, Mercury retrograde transitions back into Pisces, urging us to lean on intuition to find the truth. Mercury retrograde aligns with Neptune on the 29th, heightening paranoia — so be careful and don’t project onto others without proof.

Neptune enters Aries on March 30 for the first time in over 150 years. For the next 13 to 14 years (the illusive planet will retrograde several times in between), we’ll experience spiritual growth focusing on identity and the self. We will fight for our beliefs and dreams no matter what obstacles stand in our way.

Witch-tip:

With the final eclipse of the season happening this week, it's a wonderful opportunity to turn your attention inward. Consider trying a body scan meditation to help release stress and anxiety. Start at your toes and work your way up to the top of your head, focusing on relieving any tension you find along the way. Find a comfortable position and really tune into your body, breathing deeply as you acknowledge any discomfort. Imagine a warm, soothing light filling those tight areas as you breathe. This practice can aid in healing your body, mind, and spirit, while helping you stay grounded in the present moment.

Aries

Looking into more integrative projects and keeping your focus on psychological self-discovery might be what serves your insatiable thirst for knowledge at this time. Plenty of internal growth is happening at once, which can feel overwhelming. The best way to handle this is to journal your ever-changing thoughts and emotions.

Taurus

With the two retrogrades still in motion, making matters confusing and seemingly in flux, you should take time to smell the roses rather than wanting to zip ahead. This will be a lesson to ensure that you learn to slow down, double-check contracts, and revisit old friendships with TLC now.

Gemini

All that shimmers may not be gold. The sooner you cut these people loose, the easier it will be to create abundance in their place. They could even be holding you back from getting the desired money or job. Rethink such commitments and define them to make sense from it.

Cancer

The world is your oyster. New opportunities are coming your way without a hitch, allowing you to gain experience and success in the business sector of your chart. People will want to give you a leg up now, so it‘s extremely important to lean into the energy and take it.

Leo

This week is for planning and not committing. Now, you can start to get all your ducks in a row for the future and begin to make fortuitous objectives to help you act accordingly in attaining your dreams. Once you have a plan in motion, you can make your move.

Virgo

It may be hard to be sure about the next steps of relationships. Do not be reactive if arguments occur. Suss out the matter to decide who is worthy of your energy and who isn’t. That way, you will be able to set limits within partnerships that seem slightly unfulfilling.

Libra

You could receive a payback on a loan (with interest) that you gave to another company, employee, friend, or colleague. If you feel daring, you should level up your game and revisit a raise that has been on your mind for a while. It will work out in your favor.

Scorpio

If you play your cards right and lean into the higher vibration of the energy, you could reconnect with a youthful vision that has been put on the back burner. Connecting with your inner child not only heals your psyche but allows you to enchant your aura with fresh energy.

Sagittarius

You’ll be able to cultivate your dreams shortly. The solar eclipse will set you back a few days, but consider this a good thing. If you slow down, you can carefully plot out your next moves without any issues. Rome wasn’t built in one day, and neither will your endeavors.

Capricorn

The week ahead primarily focuses on establishing the equilibrium between your life's professional and private areas. You’ll strike a balance and stop overworking (something that you are not too keen on as you are a workaholic) to ensure that you can stabilize your energy and start to enjoy your situation.

Aquarius

Think of this time as your gift from the universe to delve into the subjects you once thought were too taboo to study. Future generations will eventually utilize the growth you’re undergoing as a focus of educational understanding. Consider subjects in philosophy and theory as your current source of inspiration.

Pisces

Although you’re used to doing everything solo, you realize the importance of partnerships this week due to Mercury and Venus’s moonwalk into Pisces. This transit will encourage you to connect with like-minded people who share your ideals — but the connections might become dull shortly, so keep your options open.
