General Forecast

March is set to be the most volatile month of 2025 as we enter the first eclipse season of the year. Venus and Mercury will retrograde together, moving from Aries back into Pisces, while Mars continues its forward motion in Cancer. Conjunctions occurring in the final degrees of Pisces and the early degrees of Aries could set events into motion, shifting our direction unexpectedly. By April 13, 2025, all planets will be in direct motion once again.

Venus retrogrades often bring challenges in relationships, creativity, and financial matters. This time, Mercury will also be retrograde in Aries and Pisces, adding to the complexity. Venus and Mercury will form a sextile with Pluto as they align with each other and the Sun. In the bold Aries energy—ruled by Mars, which will have just moved into direct motion—these conjunctions and cazimis will be intensified by Pluto’s influence in Aquarius, potentially bringing major transformations or transitions in areas related to Venus and Aries in your natal chart.

The Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) will be most impacted by these shifts. If you have planets or points in your chart between 24° Pisces and 10° Aries, you will likely feel the full force of these transits.

March also marks the eclipse season, with a lunar eclipse occurring during the full moon in Virgo and a solar eclipse during the new moon in Aries. These eclipses will bring closure to the Aries-Libra eclipse cycle that began in 2023. Eclipse seasons often bring sudden endings and new beginnings, reshaping our paths in unexpected ways.

Adding to the significance of this month, Neptune will enter Aries on March 31 for the first time in over 150 years, staying there until October 22, 2025. This period will offer a preview of Neptune’s long-term influence in Aries, which officially begins on January 26, 2026.

The dominant energies of March will highlight Pisces and Aries themes in our charts. With Jupiter ruling Pisces and Mars ruling Aries, their conditions will strongly influence the month’s events. Jupiter in Gemini may lead to heightened anxiety, excessive chatter, overthinking, and broken promises. Meanwhile, Mars in Cancer can manifest as emotional sensitivity, compassion, insecurity, defensiveness, passive-aggressiveness, and traditionalism.

Overall, March will be a month of unexpected changes, sudden endings, and new developments, making it one of the most intense and transformative periods of the year.
