The Astrology Forecast for March 18th - 25th, 2025

Greetings Cosmic Seekers,

Glad to see you’re holding your head above water as we paddle through the whirlpool of eclipse season. Last week marked a very important turning point in our collective cosmic journey through consciousness with the Lunar Eclipse in Virgo and the Mercury retrograde in Aries. March continues to simmer and steam as we find ourselves between eclipses and what may feel like quicksand beneath our feet.

This week things continue to dissolve as the Sun joins up with Neptune, and then potentially boil over as the Spring Equinox shifts onto the scene, urging us bravely forward as we trek over familiar pathways of self assertion in the realms of commitments and communications, with both Venus and Mercury immersed in their retrograde journeys.

Ready for the week ahead?

March 19th: Sun conjuncts Neptune in Pisces

The Sun aligns with Neptune in Pisces, creating a creative haze of impossible potentials that invites us to explore the realms of dreams, intuition, and spirituality. Neptune, the planet of illusion, imagination, and boundlessness, encourages us to dive deep into our inner world, seeking a higher union or deeper sense of compassion for ourselves and each other.

Under this cosmic current, reality, already feeling a tad blurry, may feel exaggerated in its distortion, and we might struggle with distinguishing between what is real and what is imagined. This alignment asks us to lean into our intuition, trusting what we feel over what we see. It’s a time to embrace creativity, spiritual practices, and surrendering control.

However, with Neptune’s influence, it’s important to guard against escapism or wishful thinking. While this is a time to dream and create pathways to what can be, it’s also a reminder to stay grounded in the practical aspects of life, especially as we find ourselves deep in eclipse season. Where can you merge the ethereal and the real? How can you nourish your soul while remaining tethered to the present moment?

Cosmic Guidance:

• Tune into your intuition and listen to the subtle signs that come your way.

• Engage in creative or spiritual practices that help you connect with a higher sense of meaning.

• Beware of illusions or over-idealizing situations or people. Stay grounded in your body and your reality.

March 20th: Spring Equinox, the Sun enters Aries

The Spring Equinox heralds a new season of growth, balance, and renewal as the Sun moves into Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. With Venus and Mercury already well on their way to refurbishing the bold colors and descriptions of our passions, the Sun comes to point the spotlight of consciousness right on our initiatives.

Aries energy is bold, action-oriented, and fiercely independent, inviting us to take charge of our lives and embark on new adventures. The Equinox itself represents a moment of balance—equal light and darkness—which asks us to assess where we need to bring harmony between our inner and outer worlds. As the Sun steps into Aries, it’s time to shed any old baggage and embrace the new beginnings waiting for us. This is a moment of energetic rebirth, where we plant seeds for the coming months, fueled by passion and ambition.

This is the time to harness Aries’ fiery energy and take initiative. Whether you’re launching a new project, initiating change, or simply embracing a fresh perspective, the Spring Equinox offers the clarity and power to make a move. What new chapter are you ready to begin?

But perhaps more importantly (given Neptune and Saturn will soon commence new projects in Aries) what new beginning are you willing to work hard to bring into reality?

Cosmic Guidance:

• Celebrate the balance of light and dark within you. Where do you need to restore energy and live to your experiences?

• Embrace new beginnings. Take action on projects or goals you’ve been putting off, especially if it’s one that inspires major action.

• Use this fiery energy to set intentions and make bold moves toward your future, even when it may seem like a fool’s journey. Dare to dream.

March 22nd: Sun conjuncts Venus retrograde in Aries (Venus Cazimi)

A rare and powerful cosmic moment arrives as the Sun and Venus retrograde align in the heart of Aries. This conjunction, known as Venus Cazimi, ignites a burst of energy, bringing clarity to the areas of love, beauty, self-worth, and relationships. Venus retrograde invites us to reflect on past relationships, our desires, and our personal connection to love and beauty. During this Cazimi, the Sun shines a spotlight on Venus’ retrograde journey, revealing what needs healing or what may need to be re-evaluated in our approach to commitment and compromise, both towards ourselves and others.

This moment holds the potential for breakthrough insights into our deepest desires, values, and how we express agreement. It could also be a time to revitalize your style, wardrobe, or creative expressions with new excitement. It's a time to examine where we’ve been holding back, whether in self-love or in romantic connections. The Sun in Aries fuels bold, passionate action, but Venus calls for patience and reflection—this conjunction asks us to be both assertive and compassionate in our relationships.

Cosmic Guidance:

• Reflect on past and present relationships, and notice any patterns or themes around balance and self compromise.

• Take a bold step toward acknowledging your desires for engagement.

• Embrace moments of reflection rather than rushing into new commitments. What can you learn from your past experiences?

March 23rd: Sun in Aries makes an opening sextile to Pluto in Aquarius

The Sun is poppin' off power left and right upon its arrival to Aries, especially when it forms an stimulating sextile to Pluto in Aquarius, activating a powerful conversation around emerging changes and deeply simmering action. This cosmic moment invites us to get curious about our collective power, push for exchanges about change, and break through the barriers that have held us back. The Sun’s energy in Aries, which thrives on action and self-expression, connects with Pluto’s intensity in Aquarius, encouraging us to challenge the status quo and release old patterns in favor of impact.

This is a time to examine what needs to be shed in order to make way for something new—whether that’s an outdated belief system, an old identity, or a limiting habit. As we open to change, we also open to the possibility of greater freedom and empowerment.

Cosmic Guidance:

• Identify the destructive patterns or fears that may be holding you back from fully pursuing your personal power.
• Harness the energy of this alignment to make bold moves toward personal growth and transformation.
• Follow your curiosities, even if they lead you to odd and uncomfortable spaces. Trust in the process of releasing what no longer serves you in order to make space for new, more aligned opportunities.

March 24th: Sun conjuncts Mercury retrograde in Aries (Mercury Cazimi)

Just a day later, Mercury retrograde meets the Sun in Aries, creating a moment of cosmic clarity and insight, unsurprisingly known as Mercury Cazimi. This powerful alignment marks a time when the Sun illuminates Mercury’s retrograde cycle, offering a rare opportunity to pause, reflect, and realign our communication, thoughts, and decision-making in ways that validate our need to make an impact.

While Mercury retrograde often brings moments of confusion or delays, the Cazimi helps us gather key insights from these experiences. This alignment is a chance to understand where we’ve been overthinking or rushing ahead and where we might need to slow down to gain true clarity.

Mercury in Aries urges us to take action and speak our truth, but in retrograde, we are reminded to pause and reflect before rushing to conclusions. This is a time to assess how we’re communicating, where we might need to adjust our mindset, and where we can take responsibility for our words and actions. This also represents the halfway point in the Mercury retrograde, typically aligning with a moment of fresh awareness and information that can help you in your continued navigation.

Cosmic Guidance:

• Reflect on your current communication patterns—are you rushing or avoiding? What needs rewording, rethinking, or researching?

• Use this moment of clarity to gain insights into your thought process and decision-making, what “aha” is coming into view?

• Which ideas are stirring up your desire to act the most? How can you communicate your intent with courage and confidence?
