Overview for this Month: Aries (All)
March 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aries:
March is a month of stop-and-start energy, dear Aries. While your ruler, Mars, has finally ended its retrograde (on February 23rd), Venus turns retrograde in your sign on March 1st and Mercury on the 15th, pointing to some further backtracking before your promised new beginnings from the Solar Eclipse in Aries on the 29th. Generally speaking, use March for budgeting rather than buying, and if possible, prioritize rest and relaxation. It's a time of preparation, and taking care of your well-being is crucial during this period.
March is a strong month for getting your bearings. It’s possible you're keeping people at an emotional distance this month, but you’re in special need of time to reflect. For some of you, a past love may reappear, or you could face feelings of destiny or fate in your partnerships. Others have your interests in mind however complicated feelings can be at this time.
In some ways, you're gearing up. Home and family projects are picking up steam. Venus is visiting your sign, Mercury enters Aries on the 3rd, and the Sun begins its transit on the 20th. Personal plans and pursuits are on the front burner. Working behind the scenes benefits you. Additionally, Venus’ retrograde affords you a little more time to explore your inner world. Nevertheless, some important influences are urging you to rest, recoup, and relax this month. It's not a month of smooth flow. Until the 20th, the Sun in your privacy sector points to the need for rest and reflection. Waiting on something or someone can be a blessing in disguise, however, particularly if you work on editing and refining things as you wait.
With this simultaneous emphasis on your privacy sector and, all month, Mars continues its transit of your home and family sector, a good part of you is a little “hard to get” now even with the extra social attention and admiration you’re receiving. It’s a necessary healing phase. The rest and privacy you need are yours, although there may be plenty of stimulating dramas playing out around you. Mars is picking up speed, and while there may have been some serious stop-and-go energy in your personal life and with home projects or family in recent months, now you’re back on track and zipping through things quite happily. This sometimes comes at the seeming cost of your independence, but all in all, you’re in good shape for taking charge of matters. Home life can be animated, and family life can demand more of your time.
Your personality, image, attitude to anything new, initiating qualities, immediate responses to stress, self-identity, and communications are all themes that retrograde Venus touches. Refining and possibly redefining some of these things may be in order. Be aware that you may sometimes come across aggressively without the explicit help of charming Venus, and consider toning things down for better results both personally and professionally.
The Full Moon on the 14th is a Lunar Eclipse, and it brings some chaos on the job or daily front, but nothing you can’t handle. This eclipse reminds you of the need to find a work-rest balance. It calls you to action, mainly to take better care of daily routines, wellness, and work matters. Seeing the flaws in current systems can be irritating but can lead to significant improvements.
Relationships can be up and down this month. In a general sense, partnerships are going well. You recognize the benefits of companionship, even if it sometimes impedes your sense of freedom or independence. Venus entered your sign in February, augmenting your overall charm and perhaps bringing gifts, money, and favors your way. This month, Venus is retrograde (from the 1st forward), prompting introspection. It’s time to revise your plans and put off new initiatives until you have more confidence in them. Others may not be getting you–perhaps misunderstanding your intentions–for the time being, especially on the level of affection.
It's certainly a month emphasizing your personal life rather than your worldly ambitions. Mercury's retrograde from the 15th forward further points to the need to review recent undertakings and projects. There can be information clogs until next month, but the pause can help you catch up and make different choices and important edits. You're observing details that you've overlooked in the past and could uncover some especially important information. The 22nd to the 24th is strong for this new, improved perspective. Take note of information and ideas coming to you from dreams and intuition, but consider that some of your moments of introspection could be misinterpreted.
The Sun in your sign from the 20th forward gives you more power and courage. It’s an intense time for considering new goals, intentions, and resolutions. You’ve seen yourself, your relationships, and your experiences in a new light, which can lead you down new paths.
Venus retreats into your privacy sector on the 27th, and Mercury does the same on the 29th, prompting further rumination. Looking at past projects with new eyes can figure strongly. Your mind may be looping back to the same old problems.
The Solar Eclipse on the 29th brings a feeling of newness to your life. Still, take your time before moving forward. Starting fresh and with independence can figure strongly. This eclipse marks the end of an eclipse set involving your sign, and you should see some conclusions to your quest for self-reliance and understanding in the weeks following.
On the 30th, Neptune enters your sign! While there is some more work to do in Pisces later this year, it will become a long-term visitor of your sign starting in early 2026, bringing more wonder and mystery to your life and persona.

Aries (Born March 21 to 31)
AND Aries Ascendant from 0 to 10 degrees Aries:
March 2025 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
March 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until March 20th:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar twelfth house. This is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past year. You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now.
Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signaling you to take a break. This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now.
From March 20th forward:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.
It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
Eclipses
A Lunar Eclipse occurs on March 14th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar sixth house. Surprises surrounding work, working relationships, daily routines, or health issues are in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Flaws come to light and demand a clean-up. This could manifest as, for example, a work project coming to an end or bearing fruit, a surprising announcement on the job, a circumstance that calls for you to support a co-worker, a flurry of activity prompted by the demands of work or for your services, a surprising health matter, and other such possibilities. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you--even if it's a small act of kindness with a co-worker or bringing in something to brighten up your desk or office. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you've been toying with in your mind.
A Solar Eclipse occurs on March 29th:
Because new information that could change our perspective can reveal itself after an eclipse, it's better to avoid major decision-making the week before and after this event. It's a time to observe and wait and see.
The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar first house, suggesting a new approach to your personal life, the manner in which you come across to others, and the way you assert yourself. A focus on ways to improve or enhance your presentation, appearance, or mannerisms may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration regarding how you assert your needs and express yourself to others.
You have an increased awareness of your own needs during this phase. It's a very powerful time for you--a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself.
This is a personally busy time of year when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a stronger impression on others.
However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but it's vital to act on your impulses and believe in yourself. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Venus is retrograde from March 1st forward (until April 12th):
This Venus Retrograde cycle, for the most part, occurs in your first house, affecting your personal appearance and mannerisms. This cycle will strongly influence the personal image you project to others. Others may misunderstand what you do and say, and misread your body language. Others may not be seeing you in the most favorable of light, and events may be such that you feel the need to rethink the way you present yourself.
You may be coming across in a harsher, even militant manner without even realizing it. Try to keep things status quo with regards to your love life. Don't worry if a lover isn't quite "getting" you for the time being. Things will change once Venus turns direct. Also, take this time to review your instinctual responses to new things and the first impression your make on others in terms of how these things help or hinder you.
As well, Venus rules your partnership and income sectors, and both of these things may come up for review during this retrograde cycle.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
From March 3rd to 28th:
With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.
It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.
This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures.
Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
Mercury is retrograde from March 15th forward (until April 7th):
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications in general and job or health-related communications because Mercury rules these areas of your life. There can be delays or rethinking with these matters.
Occurring in your solar twelfth and first houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to body language and intuition. Others may misinterpret your body language, and you should be aware of a tendency to give off mixed signals. People in your life may complain that you seem emotionally distant. This is a time to review the manner in which you come across to others--not so much whether it truly reflects your nature, but more in terms of whether it is working for or against you. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non-judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with close partners and family members; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to activate your solar fourth house. More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home. You desire to take the lead, but you should do so in a respectful way so as not to get anyone's goat.

March 2025 Aries Career, & General Trends
March 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.
It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.

Venus is retrograde from March 1st forward (until April 12th):
This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs for the most part in your solar twelfth house of all that lies beneath the surface of things. People from the past may resurface--physically or they might simply come to the forefront of your mind. You may be dealing with past karma now.
What you want from love--your desires--are very ambiguous and obscure during this cycle. Deal with your past so that you can put it behind you, but don't do it at the expense of your present.
As well, Venus rules your partnership and income sectors, and both of these things may come up for review during this retrograde cycle.

March 2025 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
March 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until March 10th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now.
You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.
From March 10th forward:
The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.
It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.
Eclipses
A Lunar Eclipse occurs on March 14th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar sixth house. Surprises surrounding work, working relationships, daily routines, or health issues are in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Flaws come to light and demand a clean-up. This could manifest as, for example, a work project coming to an end or bearing fruit, a surprising announcement on the job, a circumstance that calls for you to support a co-worker, a flurry of activity prompted by the demands of work or for your services, a surprising health matter, and other such possibilities. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you--even if it's a small act of kindness with a co-worker or bringing in something to brighten up your desk or office. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you've been toying with in your mind.
A Solar Eclipse occurs on March 29th:
Because new information that could change our perspective can reveal itself after an eclipse, it's better to avoid major decision-making the week before and after this event. It's a time to observe and wait and see.
The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar twelfth house, signaling a new approach to the ways you handle your inner world, how you compassionately serve others, and the management of guilt, closure, and loose ends. This is a period of review, letting go, and recharging your spiritual and, in turn, physical "batteries."
The focus now is on fulfillment through service, empathy, and awareness of other's needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your current circumstances and natural predisposition. Soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find emotional peace of mind will be apparent. Honoring your need for downtime is important. These themes will be with you for months.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Venus is retrograde from March 1st forward (until April 12th):
This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs for the most part in your solar twelfth house of all that lies beneath the surface of things. People from the past may resurface--physically or they might simply come to the forefront of your mind. You may be dealing with past karma now.
What you want from love--your desires--are very ambiguous and obscure during this cycle. Deal with your past so that you can put it behind you, but don't do it at the expense of your present.
As well, Venus rules your partnership and income sectors, and both of these things may come up for review during this retrograde cycle.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde from March 15th forward (until April 7th):
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications in general and job or health-related communications because Mercury rules these areas of your life. There can be delays or rethinking with these matters.
Occurring in your solar twelfth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to privacy matters. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non-judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. You might unwittingly reveal something that you'd prefer to keep private. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating about your inner world now; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 20th:
Mars continues to activate and energize your solar third house now. You may be especially busy running errands and tending to daily activities during this cycle. It's a strong time for putting your energy into intellectual projects or studies. You tend to communicate in a more direct manner now, and you might want to be careful that you don't come across as insensitive or abrasive. You may find it too easy to become impatient with others if they seem to be taking up too much of your time, such as with other drivers or with people who are not speaking as directly as you are. Channel your extra energy into mental tasks so that this transit can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).
From the 20th forward:
Mars activates and energizes your solar fourth house. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, redecorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.
Overview Horoscope:
March 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aries:
March is a month of stop-and-start energy, dear Aries. While your ruler, Mars, has finally ended its retrograde (on February 23rd), Venus turns retrograde in your sign on March 1st and Mercury on the 15th, pointing to some further backtracking before your promised new beginnings from the Solar Eclipse in Aries on the 29th. Generally speaking, use March for budgeting rather than buying, and if possible, prioritize rest and relaxation. It's a time of preparation, and taking care of your well-being is crucial during this period.
March is a strong month for getting your bearings. It’s possible you're keeping people at an emotional distance this month, but you’re in special need of time to reflect. For some of you, a past love may reappear, or you could face feelings of destiny or fate in your partnerships. Others have your interests in mind however complicated feelings can be at this time.
In some ways, you're gearing up. Home and family projects are picking up steam. Venus is visiting your sign, Mercury enters Aries on the 3rd, and the Sun begins its transit on the 20th. Personal plans and pursuits are on the front burner. Working behind the scenes benefits you. Additionally, Venus’ retrograde affords you a little more time to explore your inner world. Nevertheless, some important influences are urging you to rest, recoup, and relax this month. It's not a month of smooth flow. Until the 20th, the Sun in your privacy sector points to the need for rest and reflection. Waiting on something or someone can be a blessing in disguise, however, particularly if you work on editing and refining things as you wait.
With this simultaneous emphasis on your privacy sector and, all month, Mars continues its transit of your home and family sector, a good part of you is a little “hard to get” now even with the extra social attention and admiration you’re receiving. It’s a necessary healing phase. The rest and privacy you need are yours, although there may be plenty of stimulating dramas playing out around you. Mars is picking up speed, and while there may have been some serious stop-and-go energy in your personal life and with home projects or family in recent months, now you’re back on track and zipping through things quite happily. This sometimes comes at the seeming cost of your independence, but all in all, you’re in good shape for taking charge of matters. Home life can be animated, and family life can demand more of your time.
Your personality, image, attitude to anything new, initiating qualities, immediate responses to stress, self-identity, and communications are all themes that retrograde Venus touches. Refining and possibly redefining some of these things may be in order. Be aware that you may sometimes come across aggressively without the explicit help of charming Venus, and consider toning things down for better results both personally and professionally.
The Full Moon on the 14th is a Lunar Eclipse, and it brings some chaos on the job or daily front, but nothing you can’t handle. This eclipse reminds you of the need to find a work-rest balance. It calls you to action, mainly to take better care of daily routines, wellness, and work matters. Seeing the flaws in current systems can be irritating but can lead to significant improvements.
Relationships can be up and down this month. In a general sense, partnerships are going well. You recognize the benefits of companionship, even if it sometimes impedes your sense of freedom or independence. Venus entered your sign in February, augmenting your overall charm and perhaps bringing gifts, money, and favors your way. This month, Venus is retrograde (from the 1st forward), prompting introspection. It’s time to revise your plans and put off new initiatives until you have more confidence in them. Others may not be getting you–perhaps misunderstanding your intentions–for the time being, especially on the level of affection.
It's certainly a month emphasizing your personal life rather than your worldly ambitions. Mercury's retrograde from the 15th forward further points to the need to review recent undertakings and projects. There can be information clogs until next month, but the pause can help you catch up and make different choices and important edits. You're observing details that you've overlooked in the past and could uncover some especially important information. The 22nd to the 24th is strong for this new, improved perspective. Take note of information and ideas coming to you from dreams and intuition, but consider that some of your moments of introspection could be misinterpreted.
The Sun in your sign from the 20th forward gives you more power and courage. It’s an intense time for considering new goals, intentions, and resolutions. You’ve seen yourself, your relationships, and your experiences in a new light, which can lead you down new paths.
Venus retreats into your privacy sector on the 27th, and Mercury does the same on the 29th, prompting further rumination. Looking at past projects with new eyes can figure strongly. Your mind may be looping back to the same old problems.
The Solar Eclipse on the 29th brings a feeling of newness to your life. Still, take your time before moving forward. Starting fresh and with independence can figure strongly. This eclipse marks the end of an eclipse set involving your sign, and you should see some conclusions to your quest for self-reliance and understanding in the weeks following.
On the 30th, Neptune enters your sign! While there is some more work to do in Pisces later this year, it will become a long-term visitor of your sign starting in early 2026, bringing more wonder and mystery to your life and persona.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart.
Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month.
For example, the Sun might transit the fifth house of your solar chart from July 22 to August 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both July and August’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
