The Wednesday, JANUARY 1 Today’s Capricorn Moon until 5:50 AM EST sensitizes us to our ambitions, goals, and sense of control. We’re goal-oriented, mindful, and careful under this transit. The Moon in Aquarius from 5:50 AM onward stirs our progressive, inventive, and innovative side. There can be some pressure around the Moon-Pluto alignment and Moon-Mars opposition that excite our passions, especially through our interactions. We should watch for impulsive decisions and actions. However, we can feel a deeper kinship with others through a shared struggle, power imbalance, or belief in a cause as the Moon aligns with Pluto and harmonizes with the North Node, highlighting the energies of the Pluto-Node sextile. The Moon is void from 1:03 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Neptune), until the Moon enters Aquarius at 5:50 AM EST.

The Sun forms a quincunx with Jupiter today, and we can feel torn between two ideas or drives, perhaps see-sawing between alternatives. It can be challenging Thursday, JANUARY 2 The Sun forms a quincunx with Jupiter today, and we can feel torn between two ideas or drives, perhaps see-sawing between alternatives. It can be challenging to arrive at satisfying conclusions. It’s a time of adjustments and letting go of old habits to free ourselves up for different experiences. As the day advances, a Mars-Pluto opposition comes into strong influence. This aspect first formed on November 3rd before Mars turned retrograde and will recur on April 26th when Mars is direct. We may be returning to a dilemma. While tense and disruptive, this transit can be revealing. Pushiness tends to meet with stubborn resistance–there may be a contest of wills now. There can be a feeling that external circumstances are undermining our personal power. As we deal with these things, we may get in touch with our internal motivations. Outside forces can remind us of our need to take better charge of our lives, but shortcuts to gaining control will not work as we’d like. This transit can bring a tricky or buried issue to a head. It would be wise to observe whatever powerful feelings that confrontations or conflicts stir under this influence, as this transit has a way of pulling out suppressed matter or emotional “slush.” All in all, frustrated energy may lead to a greater understanding if we play our cards right. Venus enters the sign of Pisces today, where it will transit until February 4th. It will return to Pisces soon after, from March 27-April 30, 2025. This unusual pattern is due to an upcoming Venus retrograde cycle that’s divided between the signs of Aries and Pisces from March 1st to April 12th, 2025. Venus in Pisces is tender and affectionate, although hard to reach, as there is a longing for something difficult to define and satisfy. Borders and boundaries blur under Venus in Pisces. The shadow side of this position is allowing ourselves to be deceived because we want to believe. Evasiveness can also be a problem, and we should watch for avoidant or indirect behavior. Still, Venus is exalted in Pisces and does well in the sign. It’s devoted, compassionate, exceptionally giving, and capable of sacrifice. We might rely heavily on our intuition with our finances and love life during this cycle. We gravitate to–and appreciate–unusual, tossed aside, poetic, artistic objects, situations, and people. We seek activities that move, inspire, or touch us. The Moon is void from 11:13 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Uranus), until the Moon enters Pisces the next day, Friday, January 3rd, at 10:22 AM EST.

Pisces never sees the world in black-and-white terms. Rather, Pisces sees all the colors of the rainbow.

Venus is exalted in Pisces and does well in the sign. It’s devoted, compassionate, exceptionally giving, and capable of sacrifice. We might rely heavily on our intuition with our finances and love life during this cycle. We gravitate to–and appreciate–unusual, tossed aside, poetic, artistic objects, situations, and people. We seek activities that move, inspire, or touch us. Money may slip through our fingers, or we could ignore or overlook some of the practical elements of our lives now. However, finances improve if we connect with our otherworldly talents, imagination, desire to heal and serve, or sense of mission. This transit is not particularly strong for resolve or determination, but it’s good for adaptability and increased understanding or acceptance. This list excludes the Moon since it forms far too many aspects to list here, and the dates of the major aspects of Venus are in bold. Note…Venus will return to Pisces later while retrograde and transit the sign again from March 27th to April 30th, 2025.

Directions and instructions are unclear, there’s Friday, JANUARY 3 Quincunxes tie together Mercury and Uranus as well as Venus and Mars today, and we can be on the fence. Directions and instructions are unclear, there’s a lack of receptiveness to practical advice, or mental disorganization is prominent. It can be a challenge to gain others’ understanding. We should watch for poorly considered decisions and recognize the possibility that our timing is slightly off. There can be a dilemma or difficulty in feeling entirely at ease with others and making satisfying choices for entertainment or pleasure. Our romantic sensibilities and desires may be at odds, and problems (especially misunderstandings) in romantic and sexual relationships may result. Tension can result from conflicts between desires for independence and needs for nurturing (or to nurture). There is a tendency to feel quickly rebuffed or hurt. However, as the day advances, we get the sense that we’re heading in the right direction or want to take steps to grow and thrive. The Moon is void until the Moon enters Pisces today at 10:22 AM EST.

It can feel terrific to put our faith in someone or something now, and we’re inclined to see the spiritual dimensions or imaginative elements of our pursuits.

The Aries Moon, from 2:01 PM forward, is direct and enterprising. We’re gearing up to take action and initiate. The Moon’s alignment with the Moon’s North Node reminds us to embrace our individuality.

Retrograde Mars returns to the sign of Cancer today. Mars began its retrograde cycle on December 6th, 2024, in Leo. Mars is now in Cancer, where Monday, JANUARY 6 Retrograde Mars returns to the sign of Cancer today. Mars began its retrograde cycle on December 6th, 2024, in Leo. Mars is now in Cancer, where it will remain for the rest of its retrograde cycle and beyond. We might experience smoldering anger, finding it hard to discover direct and healthy expressions or outlets for frustrations. We can be more pensive and cautious, taking our time to reach our goals. If we push ahead impulsively anyhow, we’re likely to run into problems, obstacles, and frustrations. Cancer rules our inner foundations as well as outer ones–our homes, domestic affairs, and relationships with family. As such, we may need to re-assess our approach to our home lives until February 23rd. We are apt to feel some frustration or anxiety about our basic sense of comfort and security–our roots– and about the development of our domestic affairs. Health issues may be a factor (especially in areas ruled by Cancer, including the stomach), and accidents are a possibility throughout the Mars retrograde period. Mars forms a sesquiquadrate with Saturn this morning, and it’s best to slow down in the face of obstacles, as trying to move too fast can create more resistance. Since circumstances seem to block our efforts to assert ourselves, patience is necessary. Mercury forms a square to Neptune, and it can be challenging to follow or clearly communicate facts, directions, and instructions. Perceptions may be confused or overly idealistic, influenced heavily by wishful thinking and imagination. We may be dealing with deception or self-deception, and it can be difficult to be discriminating. However, our minds are open to many different possibilities and options. A First Quarter Moon occurs this evening at 6:56 PM EST when the Sun in Capricorn forms a square to the Moon in Aries. There can be stress, clashing, and discord, but also considerable energy, motivation, and growth. We can feel more ambitious and competitive. We want to get something going, but we may not know the next step or the exact direction we want it/us to take.

Today, Mars–still retrograde–returns to the sign of Cancer, where it will remain for the rest of its retrograde cycle. Mars is retrograde from December 6th, 2024, to February 23rd, 2025. ***See also an explanation of Mars Retrograde and Mars Retrograde Dates. Mars spends its retrograde cycle in two signs: Leo and Cancer. At this time, retrograde Mars returns to the sign of Cancer. The Sun in Capricorn opposes retrograde Mars in Cancer on January 15th, 2025 (the Sun only opposes Mars while Mars is retrograde). Mars was in its pre-retrograde shadow period from October 4th, 2024, forward, and will be in its post-retrograde shadow until May 2nd, 2025. When Mars is in its retrograde cycle, we must re-assess our current projects, our approach to getting what we want, and our desire nature. Rather than directly assert our desires, we tend towards introspection. While Mars in direct motion is direct, straightforward, assertive, and aggressive, while it’s retrograde, Mars energy is essentially turned inward–it’s internalized, intensified, personalized, and perhaps pressurized. We can be hesitant about taking action, second-guessing our instincts or our natural impulses rather than acting upon them. The way we react to situations under normal conditions doesn’t necessarily work for us now, or we don’t exactly trust our instincts during the retrograde phase of Mars. When we internalize anger, there can be some rather challenging byproducts, such as tension, resentment, depression, apathy, and even some paranoia. On the other hand, we might choose to personalize it and make it more intimate. With Mars retrograde in the already introspective sign of Cancer specifically, we might experience smoldering anger, finding it hard to discover direct and healthy expressions or outlets for frustrations. We can be more pensive and cautious, taking our time to reach our goals. If we push ahead impulsively anyhow, we run into problems, obstacles, and frustrations. Cancer rules our inner foundations as well as outer ones–our homes, domestic affairs, and relationships with family. As such, we may need to re-assess our approach to our home lives. We are apt to feel some frustration or anxiety about our basic sense of comfort and security–our roots– and with regards to the development of our domestic affairs. Health issues may be a factor (especially in areas ruled by Cancer, including the stomach), and accidents a possibility throughout the Mars retrograde period. Our goal during a Mars retrograde period should not be, however, to simply sit on our impulses or to squelch our enthusiasm. Rather, it should be to better understand our impulses, survival instincts, anger, sexuality, inner courage, and the ways we go about getting what we want from life. The cosmos are asking us to look before we leap rather than throwing ourselves into action, just for the time being. Learn more about the meaning of Mars Retrograde.

Mercury will leave Sagittarius and enter Capricorn tomorrow, Tuesday, JANUARY 7 The Moon continues its transit of straightforward, action-oriented Aries until 5:11 PM EST, when it enters stable, down-to-earth Taurus. Mercury will leave Sagittarius and enter Capricorn tomorrow, but before it goes, it forms a quincunx to retrograde Mars today. We can experience aggravation if we’re not understood or if we can’t seem to get where we want to go fast enough. What we do and what we think or communicate can be at odds. Listening isn’t our strong suit now–we’re inclined to interrupt and make assumptions. Conditions are not ideal for making important decisions, and we should watch for impatience. Still, Mercury forms a biquintile with Uranus, and Venus connects with Mars via the same aspect, inspiring creative ways to approach one another and technical matters. We more readily see patterns of relating and can use them positively to encourage creativity and excitement. The Moon is void from 4:16 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Mars), until the Moon enters Taurus at 5:11 PM EST.

This can be a time for finding wisdom in traditional methods and bringing structure and robust design to our projects. Our judgment is sound. Mercury enters Capricorn today after a long transit of Sagittarius. While Mercury transits Capricorn until January 27th, our thinking is systematic, and our focus is sober and practical. It’s easier to concentrate on the task at hand under this influence. Our conversations may be quite realistic or focused on business/practical matters. Our thought patterns and communication styles are more logical, orderly, and organized. We’re able to sort out what is relevant and essential. Realism enters the picture, our speech is no-nonsense, and precision becomes most valuable to us. We should be wary of becoming too rigid in our thinking and coming across as cold or harsh during this cycle. As the day advances, a Sun-Chiron square can point to wavering confidence. We may doubt our inner guide and face situations that test our vulnerabilities. Some indecision is possible. This transit tends to stir insecurity or uncertainty about our direction, convictions, or purpose. A dip in confidence or faith in our resolutions and principles can lead to following others’ leads, which can later be regrettable. A better approach would be to recognize our feelings of vulnerability and reserve judgment.

This is a good time to put effort towards scientific or progressive causes and projects or bring new, unique, and exciting elements to our work. New techniques or options can emerge, and we can feel very excited about pursuing them. The Moon in Gemini from 8:07 PM forward is curious and communicative, making it a good time to look into new topics and handle several different tasks. While it’s not an ideal Moon transit for follow-through, tonight’s Moon-Pluto trine helps us focus.

With the North Node of the Moon transiting the sign Saturday, JANUARY 11 The Moon’s North Node (True) enters Pisces today (the Mean Node will enter Pisces on January 29th). With the North Node of the Moon transiting the sign of Pisces until July 2026, it’s a time to work on feelings of guilt about not doing enough or the tendency to overanalyze and overthink. We’re learning to put more faith or trust in a bigger plan. Our path is to develop our love for ourselves and others through growing our compassion and understanding. It’s a time to learn more humility as we recognize that we (and others) are imperfect and don’t have to be perfect. Benefits come from developing our imagination, empathy, capacity for compassion, and faith. If we default to overworking or over-attention to physical health, we must now recognize the need to commit to our mental and emotional health. Learning to let go of an obsession with rules, details, and fears of not doing things perfectly or correctly will help us achieve a greater sense of balance and quieten guilty feelings and fears of failure, leading to a better state of inner balance. Not only is this a robust period for inner work, but it’s also an excellent time for work behind the scenes. More quality time to ourselves helps us connect with our muse and potential for inner healing. We’re discovering that being idle is not inherently wrong — we need to disconnect, detox, and decompress from time to time. At the same time, we can enjoy more magic in our daily routines. It’s a strong time for growth through meditation, healing, medicine, research, art, film, photography, poetry, dance, and psychology. Today’s Sun-Juno sextile positions us well to strengthen and support one another and, in the process, build trust. We take more pride in our relationships or projects and are willing to put more effort into them. The Moon spends most of the day in Gemini, only entering Cancer at 11:24 PM EST, and we seek mental engagement. However, by day’s end, we’re ready to get comfortable.

We’re seeking inspiration, letting go of anger, or expressing our passion through creative channels. With this influence, it’s better to wind down or act on our visions, dreams, and compassion. We’re looking for the meaning in our experiences and ready to believe we can make our dreams happen. It’s also a time to bring more imagination to what we’re doing. We are not inclined to follow rigid rules, directions, and schedules; instead, we favor following our intuition, inner guidance, and gut feelings. As the day advances, the Sun and Uranus approach a trine, exact very early tomorrow and in influence today. This transit encourages us to embrace the new. Unique or unconventional opportunities might emerge. An original approach to life is appealing and works to our benefit. This transit can detach us just enough from a situation to move forward. We might make exciting discoveries, and our willingness to take a few creative risks and experiment may be the key to success. We’re ready to embrace new plans and get rid of deadweights. It’s a time to celebrate the unusual or non-traditional. January 12, 2025 Overview of the Day EDT(GMT-05:00) World 13 13janOverview of the DayJanuary 13 2025Daily Overview Monday, JANUARY 13

We can become especially aware of Monday, JANUARY 13 A Full Moon occurs in the sign of Cancer today at 5:27 PM EST, a time of culmination and heightened awareness. We can become especially aware of over-attachment to outdated pleasures, connections, or things. The need for family, nurturing, safety, and comfort is strong. Something comes to light now, and if we get in touch with our emotions/hearts, we can better understand what needs to change or what needs to go. We seek nourishment from others, and we tend to support others more naturally in turn. Something is exposed or illuminated, prompting us to get in touch with those things we may have been neglecting or putting off in our personal lives. With so much attention to our goals, careers, and relationships these days, a push for considering our emotional needs occurs now. This is a time to clear up past patterns that have held us back from personal fulfillment, particularly those that are home or family-centered or that revolve around our work-home balance and attitudes toward comfort and responsibility. This Full Moon harmonizes with Uranus, Neptune, and the Moon’s nodes, and we can feel a wonderful sense of mission and progress now. Our revelations are pivotal and growth-oriented. At the same time, the Moon aligns with retrograde Mars, and it can be an incredibly revealing time as this lunation will likely pull up unrest, resentment, and buried frustrations. There can be a real desire to master a situation but some lack of motivation or direction for now. It’s a good idea to be open to possibilities while attempting to put aside those things that won’t serve us well if magnified. Finalizing plans should be saved for a later date, and we should watch for too-quick decisions and actions, but paying close attention to what’s illuminated now makes sense. Through the events or the tensions of this time, we can ultimately get to a better understanding of ourselves, and particularly of our desires. The competitive feelings we might experience now can be stimulating and invigorating, but we may not get the timing or estimation of our capabilities right. It’s best to wait out sudden urges since they may not hold weight over time and make it a goal to manage disorganization. We should also watch that we don’t scatter our energies or take on too many activities at once. The Moon is void from 11:46 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Neptune), until the Moon enters Leo tomorrow, Tuesday, January 14th, at 4:13 AM EST.

Full The Moon is Full in Cancer on January 13, 2025, at 5:27 PM EST. A Full Moon occurs when the Sun in Capricorn forms an opposition to the Moon in Cancer. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. It is an emotional time – a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships. The Cancer-Capricorn polarity deals with the balance between the private life, domesticity, the need for a home base, and nurturance (represented by Cancer) versus the public life, career, reputation, and accountability (represented by Capricorn). Attachments and love are ruled by Cancer, while achievements and rewards/punishments are ruled by Capricorn. In some ways, this polarity deals with the balance between unconditional love and conditional love. The Cancer Moon encourages us to value our home base and our roots, while Capricorn persuades us to consider our sense of duty and responsibility along public lines. While Cancer may most enjoy attaching to the home and family, Capricorn urges us to attend to the responsibilities to the outside world. Neglecting either end of the axis will surely backfire on us. Ideally, a balance should be found between the two energies, and this is what the Full Moon invites us to do. This Full Moon is about balancing our commitment to our career and families. Something has been building inside of us, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out. Over the next two weeks, we will discover what this means for us. For now, we can’t sit on our feelings. We need to express them. Something is exposed or illuminated, prompting us to get in touch with those things in our personal lives that we may have been neglecting or putting off. With so much attention to our relationships, careers, and personal plans these days, a push for considering our emotional needs occurs now. This is a time to clear up past patterns that have been holding us back from personal fulfillment, particularly those that are home or family-centered or that revolve around our work-home balance and attitudes toward comfort and responsibility. This Wolf Moon harmonizes with Uranus, Neptune, and the Moon’s nodes, and we can feel a wonderful sense of mission and progress now. Our revelations are pivotal and growth-oriented. This phase of the Moon occurs at 24 degrees and 0 minutes of Cancer, opposite the Sun at the same degree of Capricorn, affecting people with personal planets and points at approximately 20 to 28 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn).

We can feel impatient with regular or routine interactions as Venus and Mars form a sesquiquadrate today. This transit creates a tense and competitive or stimulating Tuesday, JANUARY 14 We can feel impatient with regular or routine interactions as Venus and Mars form a sesquiquadrate today. This transit creates a tense and competitive or stimulating and invigorating environment, depending on our perspective! The differences in our approaches, desires, and needs stand out more than our commonalities, and tensions in our relationships are likely. We might watch for impulsive moves, including purchases. This transit can whet our appetites or stir our ambitions. Venus also forms a square with Jupiter, reinforcing a dramatic theme. There can be misjudgments or overblown expectations, especially regarding our feelings, pleasures, and desires. This transit exaggerates things, leading to overdoing or overstating our feelings. However, if we keep this in check, it can be helpful for entertaining new ideas and approaches related to entertainment, money, and love. The Moon completes its transit of Cancer this morning at 4:13 AM EST when it moves into Leo. Creativity blossoms, and we take pride in our accomplishments. The Leo Moon is strong, devoted, and generous. The Moon is void until it enters Leo today at 4:13 AM EST.

With the Moon’s square to Uranus, rules, dullness, routines, and limitations are harder to accept. The Sun opposes retrograde Mars today, and we can feel thwarted or lose touch with what we want. If we do know what we want, how to go about getting it doesn’t come naturally to us right now. Careless or impulsive behavior can be a problem, or a battle of wills can occur. There can be a sudden awareness of things that have been making us unhappy, angry, or resentful, and this discovery is likely to arise through interactions with others. However, through the events or the tensions of this time, we can ultimately get to a better understanding of ourselves, and particularly of our desires.

However, minor challenging aspects involving Jupiter today suggest misjudgments based on over-optimism or high expectations. We may overestimate our abilities or underestimate the situation, or we might see-saw between alternatives. It’s a time when we tend to waver, unable to reach a wholly satisfying decision or conclusion, making it better to reserve judgment. We should avoid jumping into something without planning, as necessary details are too easy to overlook at the moment. Challenges today can also relate to wastefulness or exaggeration. We may feel we can take on more than is reasonable. Ideally, however, these energies push us to improve and expand in positive ways. The Moon is void today until it enters Virgo at 11:46 AM EST.

We see things from a perspective that celebrates our differences. We take things as they come, finding meaning in our experiences more readily than usual. This influence sets an excellent mood for respecting our intuition. We’re tuned in, inspired, and charitable. What feels like serendipity experienced now may have to do with a good sense of timing and a feeling of being in sync with the universe. However, with the Moon in Virgo all day, we’re in great shape to organize, help others, and manage our everyday affairs.

Regarding finances and relationships, we may need to limit a pleasure or indulgence or sacrifice a material benefit for a spiritual one (or vice versa). Extravagances can catch up with us, and buckling down is necessary. Still, we might feel good about making a mature choice now. We may experience a new sense of realism in our relationships. It can also be a time for bonding more strongly with loved ones by sharing responsibility, concerns, or dilemmas. We might face reality about our finances, a personal belief, or a love/social matter. A commitment is possible now, or there can be a “test” to an existing commitment. We’re taking our interactions, pleasures, relationships, and money more seriously today. The Sun harmonizes with the North Node of the Moon, encouraging us to aspire to our goals and rise to a challenge.

It’s a good time to analyze, reason through, and make sense of our relationships, situations, and feelings. We are inclined to simplify by eliminating nonessentials and paring things down without compromising the message. We’re adept at reading our audience. Responsibility, maturity, quality, and simplicity are attractive to us now. While we can be cautious about expressing ourselves and our feelings, we’re paying more attention to being sincere, honest, and precise. We are mentally prepared, desiring more order and organization in our lives. Decisions we make now are practical and well thought out. Reasoning things logically and step by step can be beneficial and even soothing. It can be a time of pleasant exchanges that are also useful or practical, and we more readily compromise, negotiate, and clarify things. The Sun heads into the sign of Aquarius today for a stay until February 18th. During this cycle, we are motivated by our need for knowledge, experience, and originality.

We’re cautious and serious-minded, and we could face challenges to self-expression. Responsibilities can weigh on our minds. Gaining what we want is challenging under this influence, possibly due to negative expectations or a tendency to need more than what is currently possible. This minor challenging aspect can feel heavier because we’re heading toward a Sun-Pluto alignment. Further, Mercury approaches a square to Chiron, pointing to possibly strained, unnatural communications later today. We can be more sensitive to criticism than usual. We may doubt ourselves when solving problems or learning and expressing ourselves. Even so, a temporary dip might boost our motivation to improve.

The Sun and Pluto align this morning, and we seek more intensity in our lives and relationships. We’re persistent, and the need to gain more control over our lives can feel pressing. We are strong-willed, resourceful, and focused, and we may benefit by keeping things to ourselves and not rushing forward prematurely. This influence brings the desire for self-mastery to our attention. A minor crisis might alert us to an area of life that requires work, improvement, and transformation. We should guard against temperamental behavior and decision-making. Some paranoia or extremes of thinking could be behind this. The focus should be on recycling, updating, revising, and eliminating so that we can grow. Unusual, intense, or dramatic happenings are possible with friends and networks. We may be confronting issues of control and power related to individuality, equality, friendships, and group associations. The Moon moves into Scorpio today at 11:21 AM EST, and the Last Quarter Moon occurs this afternoon at 3:31 PM, when the Sun in Aquarius forms a square with the Moon in Scorpio, pointing to a crisis of consciousness.

There can be tensions related to bottled-up resentment or anger on top of technical problems and issues that seem to slow things down. We can be quick on the trigger when it comes to verbal reactions. We might feel pressured to get things done quickly, and the pace is hectic. Indeed, the opposition can make us agitated, competitive, combative, and argumentative, talking over others and/or communicating things that agitate and stir up controversy. It’s a transit that occurs approximately every two years. Recent nervous tension can reach a release point, which can be messy initially but ultimately clears the air. Still, watch for sharp words and errors in judgment, as we’re processing information very quickly and passionately. Circumstances might force or push a matter that ultimately leads to more freedom or a new approach to old problems. We’re particularly interested in new ideas, innovations, discoveries, and methods now. Mercury’s trine to Uranus encourages inventiveness. With this mind-opening aspect, we seek answers that aren’t obvious, and we can get to some exciting places mentally. We’re expressing ourselves in different or unique ways rather than falling back on old habits of thinking and communicating, and it’s successful. With this aspect, conversations can be gently provocative, leading to new ideas and perspectives, but with Mars involved, these explorations can be pushier and punchier. Insights or creative ideas come suddenly, unexpectedly, and brilliantly! We’re motivated to get out of a rut, innovate, or entertain new methods as Mars and Uranus form a sextile. We gravitate to new and unique ways of approaching the world around us. We can be determined to let go of grudges or baggage in the name of progress. Working toward our dreams and inspired goals comes naturally from today’s conundrums.

With Mars currently retrograde, we may not be quite as assertive or direct in our approach as we might otherwise be.

At the same time, we feel freer to express our affections, interests, and tastes. Transits encourage our bolder, more innovative natures, socially speaking. We are most interested in all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary concerning romantic involvements, entertainment or pleasures, and financial undertakings. We may be experimenting, improvising, and trying new ways of relating to others and expressing ourselves. Our experimentation might lead us to discoveries of alternative ways to make (or spend) money. Although somewhat detached, we’re freer with our feelings and find beauty in the unfamiliar or uncommon. Saturn forms a semi-square with Pluto today, and this is the final of three formations, the first of which happened in May 2024, and the second in the set occurred in September 2024. This outer planet transit with longer-term influence points to possible power struggles, frustration, and manipulation.

In the sign of Aquarius, friendship, brotherhood, group activities, social pursuits, group projects, trying something new, humanitarian efforts, or joining a group will be a strong focus. New beginnings regarding any or all of these matters are possible now. This is a time when we should solve problems that require thinking “outside of the box.” We look to the future with a brand new, positive, and hopeful vision, frequently brainstorm and socialize, and focus on extending a friendly hand, receiving support, and expressing platonic love for those around us. It’s a time to give our emotions and passions a “break”, as we develop more objectivity and some detachment from past haunts. We might learn how something (or someone) works or revitalize ourselves through experiences that are new or simply different. This cycle encourages us to reach out to people in our social circle and in our community, and recognize the value of our friendships and social networks. We might also recognize that some level of detachment and distancing ourselves from our habits and attachment to the past will help us break away from destructive behaviors that are holding us back. With this potent Aquarius energy, we have the chance to make progressive changes in our lives. For some of us, circumstances are such that we need to pay more attention to these matters.

This two-step, drawn-out pattern is unusual for Venus due to the Venus retrograde period from March 1 to April 12, 2025: retrograde Venus divides its time between Aries and Pisces in 2025. With Venus in Aries, love is spontaneous and direct. The chase is very exciting to us under this fiery influence. We are bold, fresh, and a little impatient when it comes to matters of the heart. We don’t look back with Aries energy. We are not interested in saying sorry or dwelling on the past–it’s a brand new day! It’s time to make things work right now. Aries is known for a love of the chase and the conquest, but Aries love can be longstanding as long as it remains relatively fresh. Aries is blunt–there’s no sugar-coating with Aries. This can sting, but rarely is Aries energy mean or petty. Saying it like it is is important to the sign. Desires are strong and expressed spontaneously, enthusiastically, and directly. Aries prefers to seduce rather than be seduced, to chase rather than be chased. While Venus is in Aries, we gravitate to Aries-like activities, pleasures, pastimes, and objects of interest. Our tastes can veer toward action, new enterprise, conquests, courageous or daring acts, and so forth. We can be somewhat impulsive with our money or entertainment choices. Our interests can be insistent and strong, but possibly short-lived. It’s not the best time for holding onto money. We might pour our resources too quickly into new ventures or projects but tire of these things just as rapidly. However, when Venus later turns retrograde in the sign of Aries, we experience different behaviors. See Venus turns retrograde in Aries (2025) for more details.

Note that Jupiter spent its retrograde cycle in the sign of Gemini. See also Jupiter in Gemini. Gradually over the next few weeks, matters ruled by Jupiter will move forward more straightforwardly. Our confidence in ourselves and the universe builds. Our faith and perspective expand, although as this shift occurs now, problems can seem larger than life. This direct turn can feel refreshing.

The Moon is Full in Leo on February 12, 2025, at 8:53 AM EST. The Full Moon in Leo marks a strong awareness of our feelings on a matter. The Moon is full when the Aquarius Sun opposes the Moon in Leo. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. It is an emotional time–a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships. The Leo-Aquarius polarity deals with the balance between all that is personal (Leo) and all that is impersonal (Aquarius). The energy of the Leo Moon is creative self-expression and the boost to the individual ego that we receive through pleasure and romance, while the Aquarius Sun rules the group, more impersonal friendships, and objectivity. This Full Moon urges us to strike a balance between romance and friendship, and between expressing ourselves in personal and impersonal ways. The Leo Moon is proud and intensely individual–not content with simply being just one of the team. The Aquarius Sun, while individualistic as well, values independence and the “team.” The Full Moon illuminates this conflict. With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic illumination occurs in our own lives. However, these new feelings and revelations are emotional ones, as there is a sense of emotions bursting forth into our consciousness. It’s time to express ourselves, and to let things out of our systems. Over the coming weeks, we will discover what this means for us. For now, we can’t sit on our feelings. We need to express them. Of course, we might want to exercise some care while doing so, knowing that what is coming out of us is not particularly rational as yet. This Full Moon forms a square to Uranus, and we should watch for rebellious behavior or flip decisions associated with our revelations now. The same Full Moon in Leo chart with additional points: This phase of the Moon occurs at 24 degrees and 6 minutes of Leo, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 20 to 28 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.

Mercury is in Pisces from February 14-March 3, 2025 and, soon after, from March 29-April 16.
Why the two date ranges? Mercury travels through the full sign of Pisces this year, Mercury is in Pisces from February 14-March 3, 2025 and, soon after, from March 29-April 16. Why the two date ranges? Mercury travels through the full sign of Pisces this year, but later, while Mercury is in Aries, turns retrograde (on March 15th) and returns to Pisces on March 29th. Mercury ends its retrograde on April 7th, and it leaves Pisces again on April 16th. When Mercury is in Pisces, our thinking processes are more visual, intuitive, and imaginative. We are especially attuned to the world of emotion, which colors both our thoughts and our communication style. We guess well, express ourselves with imagery, and make decisions intuitively. We are more attracted to consciousness-raising information. It’s not always easy to verbalize our impressions during this cycle. We don’t enjoy pinning down, labeling, or strictly defining things. We recognize that life isn’t always logical, and we prefer not to think in black and white terms. We’re sensitive and impressionable, which means we can take in more than usual and it can sometimes overwhelm us. Pisces needs periodic time alone or within to regenerate and detox. This list excludes the Moon since it forms far too many aspects to list here, and the dates of the major aspects of Mercury are in bold. Note: Mercury returns to some aspects due to a retrograde/direct cycle during which time Mercury divides its time between the signs of Pisces and Aries.

With the Sun in Pisces, we are guided by altruistic feelings. We are less motivated to do than we are to feel, imagine, and dream. A “what will be, will be” attitude reigns, and we are guided by a sense of universal correlations. Pisces rules empathy, selfless love, devotion, and wisdom. Its shadow side can include self-pity, a feeling of being victimized by life, passivity, and elusiveness. While we may not always verbalize or express our feelings and impressions during this cycle, they’re strong and motivating. We prefer to believe and trust, giving things/people the benefit of the doubt until they prove us wrong. We might often tune out problems or conflicts rather than tackle them head on, hoping they will iron themselves out. Prosperity flows when we’re connecting with our heart, being kind, and helping others. The need to withdraw or retreat to restore our energy is strong from time to time.

Rather than directly assert our desires, we tended towards introspection. With Mars now direct, we slowly but surely ease back into action, rebuilding or refueling our confidence with clearer goals.

The following is the New Moon astrological chart wheel for the Pisces New Moon in 2025. The New Moon in Pisces marks the beginning of a new cycle. The Aquarius New Moon cycle ends and the Pisces New Moon cycle begins. The New Moon in Pisces is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Fish. These include taking a leap of faith, accepting imperfections in ourselves and in others as a different kind of “perfection,” starting a project that requires imagination and visualization skills, consciously putting time aside for peaceful and rejuvenating activities, and sharing a dream with another. With this potent Pisces energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives. With such a strong showing of bodies in the sign of Pisces, we can be particularly focused, determined, and concentrated. We should watch for being too narrow in our focus. The major bodies are all direct, contributing to a feeling of moving forward. Still, Venus is close to stationing retrograde, and it’s best not to push ahead prematurely. This New Moon is square to Jupiter, and we should avoid overshooting and excess. This phase of the Moon occurs at 9 degrees and 41 minutes of Pisces, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 6 to 14 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) most significantly.

Venus Retrograde Cycle from March 1st to April 12th, 2025: Venus now stations and turns retrograde at 10° Aries 50′. Venus is retrograde, beginning in the sign of Aries at 10° Aries 50′, and later returning to Pisces. It turns direct at 24° Pisces 38′. [Venus enters the retrograde zone (shadow) on January 28th, 2025, and leaves the shadow zone on May 16th, 2025] Note that similar retrograde Venus patterns repeat in about eight years, and a similar Venus Rx period occurred from March 4th to April 15th, 2017, also occurring in Aries and Pisces. There can be common themes shared with this past period. As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are times when we re-assess what—and who—we value. It is a period that many astrologers consider inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship. Major financial undertakings are not advised during this period either. Venus retrograde cycles are good times for creating budgets and financial plans, and for re-thinking our personal relationships. Taking final action in the areas of finance and love, however, is not advised until Venus turns direct again. Because Venus rules beauty and aesthetics, Venus Retrograde is a less than ideal time for beautification processes (new hairdos, enhancements, purchasing a new wardrobe, cosmetic surgery, and so forth), renovations, re-decorating, and the like. Because Venus is associated with social events, parties may not go as planned. On the subject of love, past lovers may re-appear and some relationships may end. With Venus retrograde in Aries for much of this retrograde cycle, our needs for action may be especially high but frustrated. We may question how much independence and confidence we have in our relationships. With Venus in Pisces towards the end of the cycle, the tendency for misplaced faith, or to be taken off guard, in love may be strong. The compassion we’re seeking may be missing now. Old friends and lovers may re-appear, perhaps complicating current relationships. We may be called upon to deal with relationship issues from the past during this Venus retrograde cycle. Events occur that seem fated or pre-destined. It can be a real challenge getting close to a lover during this period of time. Unorthodox, experimental, and non-intimate relationships may be favored. Affection is difficult to express in a natural or spontaneous manner. We might find others are lacking in sincerity or genuineness in their expressions of social niceties. (We may be inclined to do the same!). Venus is in its detriment in the sign of Aries (Aries is opposite Libra, which Venus rules). Some of the more negative associations of Venus in Aries may be particularly prominent and/or hard to take, and these include impatience, arrogance, and childishness or naivety. Those who have Aries strong in their charts may be more introspective, distant, or hard to reach during this cycle. They may not be in a very favorable light just now, and they may be reconsidering things. Relationships that have been especially challenging may come to an end during this cycle. However, strong relationships will survive it, even if there are a few bumps and bruises along the way. This can be a good time for “eyes wide open” or experimental dating, although opinions and assessments may change at a later date. It is not a time when people recognize the need for another person to “complete” them. Some people may be questioning whether they are with partners who actually fulfill them. We may, however, be especially in touch with our deeper, less obvious, and less superficial needs and wants. This makes it a good time for re-evaluating our relationship needs; but, again, major love decisions are best saved for after the cycle ends on April 12th, and better yet, beyond the shadow phase as well (after May 16th). Our perceptions may be skewed and we can come out of the retrograde cycle with regret if we have acted hastily, as the tendency to change our minds later is strong. On the subject of money, finances, and possessions, do try to hold off on major purchases or financial decisions during this Venus retrograde cycle. For example, the purchase of a new house, car, or other big-ticket item could backfire in some manner later on. They may become money pits or cause problems for you; or you may change your mind later and regret your purchase. There’s nothing truly to fear about Venus retrograde, but it’s always wise to take special care during this cycle. It’s not the best period for entering into a new relationship, because our sensors when it comes to love are not up to par. However, it’s not unheard of to begin a relationship under the influence of a retrograde Venus, and the relationship survives and/or thrives. Then there is a feeling of the inevitable during a Venus retrograde. What happened in the past, including past love affairs, can flood our consciousness now. Sometimes, a past lover reappears in their physical form. Read more about Venus Retrograde. Where is Venus Retrograde transiting by house in your natal chart?

March 3, 2025 4:03 am EST(GMT-05:00) All World 14mar2:54 amFull Moon/Lunar Eclipse on March 14, 2025in Virgo The Moon is Full in Libra on March 14, 2025, at 2:54 AM EDT. This is a penumbral Lunar Eclipse. The Moon is Full in Libra on March 14, 2025, at 2:54 AM EDT. This is a penumbral Lunar Eclipse. A Full Moon occurs when the Sun in Pisces forms an opposition to the Moon in Virgo. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. Certainly, it can be an emotional time – a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships. This phase of the Moon occurs at 23 degrees and 57 minutes of Virgo opposite the Sun at 23 degrees and 57 minutes of Pisces. It’s the second eclipse in a set of seven occurring along the Virgo-Pisces axis from September 17th, 2024, to February 20th, 2027. The first one was a Lunar Eclipse in Pisces. While we’ve been focusing on building our faith since September 2024, this March eclipse in Virgo prompts us to consider getting organized and how it affects the work-rest balance. This eclipse serves as a prompt, nudge, or push to make improvements in Virgo- and Pisces-ruled areas of life in our charts, and feelings of discontent can magnify. It’s a time to resolve matters, strike a balance, take a lesson, and move on, but take some time with this–eclipses can temporarily hide a part of our lives for us to focus on another. Ultimately, we should be striving for a balance. This eclipse affects people with personal planets and points at 19 to 29 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) most significantly. Lunar Eclipses are about relationships and polarities. With the Virgo-Pisces axis involved, this Lunar Eclipse presses us to look more closely at our needs, lacks, and wants concerning the balance between Virgo-ruled and Pisces-ruled areas of life. We are encouraged to find a balance between day-to-day functions and routines, physical health, and the need for order (Virgo) and vision, spiritual health, disorder, and the infinite (Pisces). Read more about this and other eclipses affecting our lives in Eclipses/Lunations. Virgo rules the tools and techniques we use to deal with day-to-day life, while Pisces rules the tools we use to deal with our spiritual selves. The key to balance lies in identifying and expressing our spiritual needs while maintaining order in our everyday lives. Neglecting either end of the axis will surely backfire–we would either be living in chaos or excessive order. The contrast between precise, logical, work-centered, factual Virgo and spiritual, compassionate, holistic Pisces comes full bloom. The energy of the Virgo Moon is the awareness of the need for more precision, attention to detail, and responsibility. The Pisces Sun, on the other hand, is visionary–focused on what’s universal and hard to define. This Full Moon is about emotional declarations. Something has been building inside of us, likely of a personal nature, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out. Over the coming months, we will discover what this declaration means for us. For now, it’s difficult to sit on our feelings. We need to express them. With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic “illumination” occurs in our own lives. However, these new feelings and revelations are emotional ones, as there is a sense of emotions bursting forth into our consciousness. It’s time to express ourselves, and to let things out of our systems. Of course, we might want to exercise some care while doing so, knowing that what is coming out of us is new and not particularly rational as yet. This total Lunar Eclipse urges us to strike a balance between work and service, practicality and impracticality, criticism and acceptance. This eclipse is about awakening to the need to enjoy more order in our lives. This is an eyes-wide-open time for our work, habits, health, and routines. We are likely to receive strong messages from our intuition regarding our next move along these lines. Emotions, feelings, and revelations in the weeks following this eclipse are pivotal. This is a rewarding Full Moon eclipse, ripe with possibilities and learning experiences. However, it can take some time before we get the whole picture. A crisis of sorts (which can be a crisis of consciousness) or sudden awareness of a lack in our lives provides us with a golden opportunity to explore our emotional needs within the context of the house polarity where the eclipse occurs in our natal charts. Relationships may be challenged, broken, or strengthened at this time. Our discovery is emotionally charged and dramatic–everything feels big and larger than life at this time. Epiphanies are likely as we become acutely aware of our lack. This understanding can propel us into affirmative action, although there can be some initial level of chaos. However, it’s important to note that we’re temporarily in the dark about a matter at the time of an eclipse, and we’re seeing another area of life as if we’re looking at it through a magnifying glass. It’s distorted—we don’t yet have the full picture. This perspective does help us, ultimately, but it helps to remember that we’re missing something and to defer judgment. This is a time to work on clearing up past patterns that have been holding us back from fulfillment in our everyday lives. Revelations coming in can be blown up and dramatic but not discountable since they come from real feelings. With eclipses, we get a strong emphasis on one area of life but a blackout in another area, and it makes sense to wait to make big decisions for when we can see the whole picture. This Lunar Eclipse can have a way of bringing dysfunctional areas of our lives to our attention. Emotions and realizations feel big. Plans can blossom. Through events, circumstances, and epiphanies after the time of this eclipse, we learn that we need to get in touch with our needs for a stronger connection with our routines, work, and physical health needs. To feel fulfilled, we need to acknowledge and embrace our need for our daily routines to serve us well. We become aware of where we have been overdoing our focus on replenishment where it’s come at the expense of living an organized life. Full Moons are always helpful for magnifying pre-existing problems so that we can see where to bring back balance. Our larger work should focus on reaching a good balance. Enlightenment in the weeks following the lunation provides us with a golden opportunity to explore our emotional needs, ultimately leading to positive actions and decisions. In 1998, a Lunar Eclipse occurred at a similar degree as this Virgo one on March 13th, and in 1979, a Lunar Eclipse occurred at a similar degree. It might be helpful to think back to issues in your life that were in effect around these dates, if applicable, to get an idea of how this 2025 Lunar Eclipse might affect you. However, you can also look back in a general sense to eclipse sets occurring along the same Virgo-Pisces axis as the current one in effect from September 2024 to February 2027 for more information gleaned by looking to the past to understand themes in the present and future. The following are also periods of your past, if applicable, that may have had similar themes to this current eclipse set: Virgo-Pisces Eclipse sets (current, future, and some in recent history): The following lists the set of eclipses falling along the Virgo-Pisces axis only (there are other eclipses in different signs between these): March 14, 2025 2:54 am EDT(GMT-05:00) 15mar2:46 amMercury turns retrograde in AriesRetrograde Station Mercury now turns retrograde at 9° Aries 36′.
Mercury is retrograde from March 15, 2025, at 9° Aries 36′, until April 7, 2025, at 26° Pisces 49′. In other words, Mercury Mercury now turns retrograde at 9° Aries 36′. Mercury is retrograde from March 15, 2025, at 9° Aries 36′, until April 7, 2025, at 26° Pisces 49′. In other words, Mercury begins its retrograde cycle in Aries and ends it in Pisces. The year 2025’s first retrograde Mercury cycle occurs from March 15th to April 7th. Mercury’s shadow period begins on March 1st and ends on April 26th. Note that the shadow period begins before Mercury turns retrograde–when Mercury first passes over the degree that Mercury later returns to in retrograde motion. The shadow period ends when Mercury again passes over the degree at which it first turned retrograde. The shadow period is different than Mercury’s storm period in astrology, which refers to the period when Mercury is moving especially slowly. Note that Mercury’s post-retrograde shadow is generally better for new long-term endeavors than the pre-retrogrades shadow. For new enterprises in the pre-retrograde shadow, the venture’s secondary progressed Mercury will turn direction (retrograde) in the coming years, which may not be ideal. Also consider that things are most wonky on and around the days of the stations whether Mercury is turning retrograde OR direct (the start and end dates of the retrograde cycle) as the shifts occur, after which we grow more accustomed to the energy. Mercury is retrograde approximately three times a year for approximately three weeks each time. As such, retrograde Mercury is a fairly common occurrence (Mercury is retrograde approximately 18% of the time). As the planet of communication, Mercury retrograde tends to breed a certain level of confusion. Mercury rules our “lower” mind–how we perceive and interpret information that we receive from our environment, and how we relay that information to others. Mercury has rulership over such things as speaking, negotiating, buying and selling, listening, formal contracts, documents, travel, the mail and shipping, and so forth. All of these areas of life are affected when Mercury is functioning in a sluggish state. Decision-making is challenged during Mercury retrograde. Needless to say, it is not advised to sign contracts, engage in important decision-making, or launch a new business. Delays and challenges are more probable with Mercury retrograde. It’s a time when being careless with money, our personal information, or paperwork can be costly. While Mercury is retrograde, we may be rethinking a previous opinion or idea. Looking to the signs and houses it transits can give clues as to what we may be reconsidering. In Aries this time, we might look at past decisions and ideas from a new, possibly enlightened perspective. This is a time for reconsidering an initiative or venture. It’s strong for returning to an old project or pursuit. It can be a time of tension, however, as Mercury in Aries wants immediate answers and retrograde Mercury can point to delays and indecision. The curtness of Mercury in Aries communications is magnified, making it necessary to be especially careful with our choice of topics and wording. The chances of sharp or brusque comments doing some damage run high. While Mercury is retrograde in the sign of Aries, we may be returning to past projects and refining or tweaking them. We can find usefulness in old or past ideas and recycle them in new ways, even though Mercury in Aries prefers the new to the old. We might consider renewing past ventures where we may have had false starts, but this should be done in a new way for things to work this time around. With Mercury in Aries, we prefer to learn from hands-on experience rather than instruction, and not listening during this Mercury retrograde period can be especially costly. Keep in mind that Mercury in Aries’ haste to communicate (or perhaps more accurately, to get communications out of the way) can work against us or can be more consequential during Mercury retrograde — there can be texts or emails sent to the wrong people, for example, or quick commentary that’s considered careless.

The retrograde cycle of Venus, lasting from March 1st to April 12th, is the reason for Venus returning to Pisces so soon after leaving the sign. The retrograde began in Aries, but with reverse motion, Venus now dips back into Pisces. While Venus is retrograde in the sign of Pisces, we might return to past frustrations and problems with a renewed perspective. The tendency for misplaced faith, or to be taken off guard, in love may be strong. The compassion we’re seeking may be missing now, or we might recognize that we need it more and it’s always been a little inadequate in a particular relationship. Venus is retrograde, beginning in the sign of Aries at 10° Aries 50′, and later returning to Pisces. It turns direct at 24° Pisces 38′.

However, it’s not unheard of to begin a relationship under the influence of a retrograde Venus, and the relationship survives and/or thrives. Then there is a feeling of the inevitable during a Venus retrograde. What happened in the past, including past love affairs, can flood our consciousness now. Sometimes, a past lover reappears in their physical form. Read more about Venus Retrograde. Where is Venus Retrograde transiting by house in your natal chart?

If you’re wondering what Venus retrograde means if you’re born with this position in your chart, see Venus Retrograde in the Birth Chart. Pisces never sees the world in black-and-white terms. Rather, Pisces sees all the colors of the rainbow. With the goddess of love in Pisces, our love is all-embracing, we are able to forgive and understand, we are seducible and seductive, and we show compassion to our partners. Venus in Pisces is tender and affectionate, although hard to reach, as there is a longing for something that is difficult to define and hard to satisfy. Borders and boundaries blur under Venus in Pisces. The shadow side of this position is allowing ourselves to be deceived because we want to believe, as well as evasiveness. We should watch for falling in love with an idealized image of something or someone. It’s also important to watch for avoidant or indirect behavior. Venus is exalted in Pisces and does well in the sign. It’s devoted, compassionate, exceptionally giving, and capable of sacrifice. We might refer heavily on our intuition with our finances and love life during this cycle. We gravitate to–and appreciate–unusual, tossed aside, poetic, artistic objects, situations, and people. We seek activities that move, inspire, or touch us. Money may slip through our fingers, or we could ignore or overlook some of the practical elements of our lives now. However, finances improve if we connect with our otherworldly talents, imagination, desire to heal and serve, or sense of mission. This transit is not particularly strong for resolve or determination, but it’s good for adaptability and increased understanding or acceptance.

This is a chart of the New Moon partial Solar Eclipse that occurs at 9° The Moon is New in Aries on March 29, 2025, at 6:58 AM EDT. This is a chart of the New Moon partial Solar Eclipse that occurs at 9° Aries 00′. This eclipse is the final in an Aries-Libra set of six eclipses. Its effects can be felt for up to six months after the actual date of the eclipse. In the sign of Aries, this eclipse puts matters related to personal plans, courage, independence, and self-assertion in strong focus. It’s about new beginnings regarding any of these issues, but at the same time, it’s about making final decisions. Long-term changes are in the works! This phase of the Moon occurs at 9 degrees and 0 minutes of Aries. A similar Solar Eclipse (at approximately the same degree of Aries) occurred on March 29th, 2006. Before that, it was March 29th, 1987. An eclipse set along the Aries-Libra axis most recently occurred from 2013-2016. Before that, it was from 2004-2006. Note that this eclipse is opposite the October 2024 eclipse in Libra with an orb of just over 1 degree. This March 29th Solar eclipse can highlight and challenge our issues surrounding independence and personal courage. We might take steps towards self-mastery and self-empowerment by tackling things that undermine us. Circumstances nudge or encourage us to see where we haven’t been true to our authentic selves. Ultimately, we are now in a position to understand that changes or endings are necessary for our own growth, and that we can handle these things. This is a good time for focusing on some of the constructive traits of the sign of the Ram–enterprising, straightforward, sincere, brave–and consider how to positively incorporate these qualities into our lives. Aries New Moons are generally good for taking action – trying something new and innovative, and going at it with gusto and confidence. It’s a time to be assertive, take charge of our lives, start a brand new project, and discover our own personal courage. It’s a powerful time to re-evaluate our relationship with ourselves. With this potent Aries energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and thus a New Moon in Aries is especially ripe with opportunity for new beginnings. We might consider acting on a constructive impulse and following a hunch or taking a risk. Aries learns through experience and action, so we might treat ourselves to a little adventure now. It’s also a good cycle under which to discover the benefits of expressing ourselves with authenticity – expressing ourselves as we are, without putting on airs. We might also find ways to learn how to rely on ourselves and to be happy about doing so – it will go a long way towards finding inner happiness when we know that we can be self-sufficient without blaming others for not helping us out. It’s a time to revitalize ourselves through experiences that break the routine and that involve doing something new and fresh. The New Moon loosely aligns with retrograde Mercury, and it’s hard to see our path, but our discomfort with the past can be very real now, motivating new beginnings. As well, Mars, the ruler of Aries, harmonizes with Saturn and Uranus, suggesting a constructive desire to build and innovate. With this eclipse, we might experience a strong urge to act on impulse. However, it will be important to avoid jumping to conclusions and asserting ourselves without considering others’ feelings and reactions. There is a big difference between asserting ourselves from a place of healthy confidence, and asserting ourselves brashly and blindly, which can give us a false sense of confidence or bravery. With this potent Aries energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives that will benefit us well beyond this Moon cycle. For some of us, circumstances are such that we need to pay more attention to these matters. Flaws in an important system in our lives reveal themselves in the wake of the eclipse, prompting us to redo or to start fresh. Something ends in order for something else to start anew. We may be called to give up something in order to move forward into a new chapter in our lives. Although the “new” may be unrecognizable, it is important to allow the necessary surrender to the unknown. An eclipse occurs close to the nodal axis, and this eclipse is closer to the North Node of the Moon. While we’re heading into unknown territory in some ways, we have a good sense that we’re doing so to our advantage. Major developments in the personal areas ruled by Aries in our charts are likely to occur over the upcoming months. It’s a powerful time for making changes that finally resolve a longstanding issue. There is some finality to its themes–we might make final decisions, reach conclusions, or more permanent changes now, and these things lead to a new beginning or fresh start. The above chart is excellent for seeing the fundamental influences and chart pattern of this New Moon. The chart below adds more details with additional points.

While Mercury began its retrograde on March 15th in the sign of Aries, retrograde Mercury returns to the sign of Pisces on March 29th, 2025.
Mercury is in Pisces While Mercury began its retrograde on March 15th in the sign of Aries, retrograde Mercury returns to the sign of Pisces on March 29th, 2025. Mercury is in Pisces from March 29-April 16, 2025 (it just recently visited from February 14-March 3). Mercury’s retrograde cycle, lasting from March 15th to April 7th, is the reason for Mercury returning to Pisces so soon after leaving the sign. The retrograde began in Aries, but with reverse motion, Mercury now dips back into Pisces. Mercury is retrograde from March 15th, at 9° Aries 36′, until April 7th, at 26° Pisces 49′. While Mercury is retrograde in the sign of Pisces, we might return to old problems, entanglements, and unfinished projects with a renewed perspective. Past ideas and perceptions of people and pursuits in our lives can emerge and change. It’s a strong period for getting in touch with our dreams and ideals. We can be especially spacey when it comes to facts and figures. We’re also inclined to be quite past-focused. Second-guessing what we see or know can be a theme during Mercury’s retrograde in Pisces. There is a more obvious theme of inaction and ambivalence due to feeling stuck, with mental and emotional energies in conflict. However, as we face difficulties expressing ourselves with words, we might find highly creative ways to communicate our message during this period. Mercury retrograde in Pisces implies communication snafus revolving around expressing care, compassion, and concern as well as talking about the past or unfinished business, in particular. It’s a strong period for returning to an old study, writing project, or personal interest. It can be a time of scattered thoughts and mental disarray, however. Themes occurring now can include slander, snitching, resurfacing comments from the past, and misrepresentation on the one hand and creative vision, spiritual learning, guiding, more compassionate viewpoints, and a better understanding of the past on the other. March 29, 2025 10:18 pm EDT(GMT-05:00) All World 30mar7:58 amNeptune enters AriesPlanetary Ingress Neptune enters the sign of Aries
Neptune is in Aries from March 30, 2025, to October 22, 2025, and later from January 26, 2026, to May 21, 2038, and then October Neptune is in Aries from March 30, 2025, to October 22, 2025, and later from January 26, 2026, to May 21, 2038, and then October 21, 2038, to March 23, 2039. While Neptune flirts with Aries in 2025, it won’t be consistently in the sign until late January 2026 forward. While Neptune is in Aries, we idealize independence, courage, bravery, freedom, and fresh starts. However, we may not see ourselves clearly, or we might struggle with defining ourselves and our boundaries during this period. We might also inflate our importance in times of insecurity, which can be quite detrimental. Presenting false images of ourselves that we end up identifying with can be especially tempting during this period. As we strive toward our ideal of more independence and individualism, we should watch that we don’t leave people behind. The image of a spiritual warrior championing for the vulnerable would be the better theme during this cycle. It’s a good idea to check in with ourselves to be sure we’re not harboring delusions of ourselves and others who we might imagine to be courageous or free. Other issues to watch for include impatience with those things we don’t understand or with intricate matters and being caught off guard by competitors or anger that we failed to recognize. It can be a time of great wonder and impulse–we tend to boldly follow our intuition wherever it leads us. We have faith in our ability to innovate, lead, start anew, and win. We can be talented at inspiring others to action and promoting our beliefs, ideas, and missions. It can be a time of decidedly new, exciting, and modern styles in fashion, art, and music and perhaps radical or pioneering changes in beliefs, religion, and philosophy. New approaches to spirituality can figure strongly, and compassionate acts can be a goal. Aries is too stern to express itself compassionately, preferring action and revolution to express its care. We’re ready to reject and do away with dogma. The need for change and innovation is felt innately and intuitively. March 30, 2025 7:58 am EDT(GMT-05:00)Details
