Mercury aligns with the true North Node of the Moon today, and learning, teaching, and communicating are in strong focus. We might make valuable contact with Saturday, MARCH 1 Mercury aligns with the true North Node of the Moon today, and learning, teaching, and communicating are in strong focus. We might make valuable contact with people who share our intellectual interests or introduce us to new ideas that help us improve or expand. Or, we connect with information that similarly moves us forward and challenges us to grow. Venus stations and turns retrograde today and will be retrograde until April 12th. Retrograde Venus transits Aries until March 27th, when it retreats into Pisces for the remainder of the retrograde. This Venus retrograde cycle can bring us back to unresolved matters, particularly to do with relationships, finances, wants and needs, and values. We may want to avoid significant new beginnings or decisions related to Venus-ruled endeavors, such as finances, partnership, romance, and pleasurable pursuits. However, it’s a good time to assess these matters. This is a cycle for reviewing, reevaluating, and reassessing our love life, personal finances, and how we receive, reveal, and express our affections. Thoughts turn to the past so that we can lay to rest unhealthy habits in these areas of life. We can get in better touch with our values and needs during this slowdown phase. The Moon is void from 3:06 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Neptune), until the Moon enters Aries at 4:52 AM EST.

Venus Retrograde Cycle from March 1st to April 12th, 2025: Venus now stations and turns retrograde at 10° Aries 50′. Venus Retrograde Cycle in Aries + Pisces: March 1-April 12, 2025 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?

The day can be imaginative and inspiring, but not especially practical. Mercury aligns with Neptune in Pisces, easing tension or releasing mental blocks. We’re thinking or Sunday, MARCH 2 The day can be imaginative and inspiring, but not especially practical. Mercury aligns with Neptune in Pisces, easing tension or releasing mental blocks. We’re thinking or talking about our dreams and ideals. It can be a day of interesting ideas, tastes, conversations, and musings. With this transit, we’re more inclined to apply our intuition to everyday issues and problems. Our minds are open to many different possibilities and options as we see beyond physical or material concerns and solutions. Communication can be inspired and inspirational, quite fanciful, or vague and unclear, and possibly deceptive. It’s best to watch for attempts to escape definitions and responsibilities, but reframing things before we make decisions can be most helpful. We should avoid allowing wishful thinking to dictate our choices, but tapping into our imagination can be rewarding. The Sun’s square to Jupiter furthers a theme of broader perspectives. We can find ourselves eager to expand. While our ideas are big, circumstances remind us of the limits of our capabilities, and we must adjust accordingly. There is an inclination to extravagance and overreaching. While this transit can stimulate much optimism and elevated moods, our state of mind is fragile as things are overblown or unrealistic. We can feel some discontent, leading us to seek more meaning, growth, or change. We should watch for reaching too far on this quest, overestimating our energy levels or the time we might invest in a commitment. We would do well to remind ourselves that going bigger isn’t always in our best interests. The Moon is void from 8:53 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Mars), until the Moon enters Taurus the next day, Monday, March 3rd, 5:37 AM EST.

Mercury enters Aries today, where it will transit until March 29th. Due to an upcoming retrograde cycle and Mercury’s return to Pisces on the 29th, Mercury Monday, MARCH 3 Mercury enters Aries today, where it will transit until March 29th. Due to an upcoming retrograde cycle and Mercury’s return to Pisces on the 29th, Mercury will again transit Aries from April 16th to May 10th. This Mercury cycle can feel refreshingly decisive and forward-looking. It can certainly be a time when we’re a bit impatient or terse, but it can feel good not to dwell or spend too much time arriving at conclusions in the weeks ahead. We’re less concerned with objective viewpoints and explanations during this cycle and more interested in reaching a decision quickly. We want to pioneer and innovate or be the first ones with the idea. It’s time to speak more spontaneously and directly with the planet of communication in bold and assertive Aries. Consider that Mercury will turn retrograde in the sign on the 15th, and we might reconsider some of our interests and decisions later. Mercury forms a quintile with Jupiter today, and our ideas are particularly clever. Focusing on intellectual interests and problem-solving can be especially successful now. It’s subtle energy but good for rounding out our thinking. With the Moon’s move into Taurus at 5:37 AM EST today, we gravitate to grounding, practical, or comfortable activities. The Moon continues its period today until the Moon enters Taurus at 5:37 AM EST.

Gemini’s ruler, Mercury, forms a sextile with Pluto today, boosting our intellect and encouraging a more thorough, investigative approach to communicating and understanding. The Moon hooks into this energy with its harmonious aspects to Mercury and Pluto. We can feel driven to get to the heart of a matter. We gravitate to mysteries and enigmas, seeking to unearth what’s buried or find what’s hidden. While this is decisive energy, we might later circle back to those things we are investigating now due to an upcoming Mercury retrograde cycle. Still, we can see more layers of a situation today, and we’re in good shape to let go of something that has kept us bound or stuck in a difficult position. The Moon is void from 5:54 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Neptune), until the Moon enters Gemini at 7:30 AM EST.

The Moon’s alignment with Jupiter this morning magnifies our willingness to learn, share, and connect. We’re generous with our information and time. Towards midday, the First Quarter Moon occurs as the Sun in Pisces forms a square with the Moon in Gemini. This quarter Moon phase can signal a time of stress, clashing, and discord, but also high energy, motivation, and growth. We become acutely aware of obstacles to our goals. Although we tend to seek light and mentally engage in activities with the Moon in Gemini, a Sun-Saturn parallel also influences the day, and our approach may be more measured or moderate than usual. We’re especially aware of our responsibilities. As well, the Moon’s square to Saturn this evening can feel restrictive. We might worry that we’re divulging too much.

We head toward a Sun trine Mars, exact very early tomorrow and influencing today. This transit energizes us and supports activity, initiative, and enterprise. Mars was recently retrograde but is now picking up speed after turning direct on February 23rd. This trine helps boost our motivation. Energy and vitality are strong. We want to put plans into motion, take the lead, and get busy. Our sense of timing is good, and belief in ourselves comes naturally. This can be a good time to do what we love, follow our passions, or pursue a pleasure more heartily than usual.

If we fear we’re out of the Saturday, MARCH 8 The Sun is semi-square Pluto this morning, suggesting some edginess or tension related to pressures to perform or advance. If we fear we’re out of the loop, it can be hard to accept it. There can be a struggle to let go of the inconsequential. We might crave a sense of control over events, relationships, and circumstances, becoming frustrated at any sign that we don’t have it. Tensions can surface if we’ve been holding onto worries and concerns. The more we bottle up, the more pressure builds. The Moon aligns with Mars and forms a trine with the Sun this evening, in some ways extending the energy of the Sun-Mars trine. We want to find a personal pursuit and give it special attention, and we can be filled with courage, enthusiasm, and initiative. It’s a good time for activities that engage our emotions, although we can also be impulsive and frustrated if faced with inaction.

This transit emphasizes and brings out the ability to order our thoughts and ideas and recognize patterns. We can enjoy making plans, lists, associations, and connections now, and instructing or guiding comes naturally. Mercury also forms a contra-parallel with Saturn, and our responsibilities, commitments, and limitations are on our minds. Our communications and interactions can feel a little serious or perhaps judgmental in spots. The Moon continues its transit of the sign of Cancer until 7:00 PM EDT, encouraging our desire for familiarity, comfort, and safety.

A useful discussion or examination of the Tuesday, MARCH 11 Mercury aligns with retrograde Venus today, and both bodies form a semi-square to Uranus–Venus this morning and Mercury early tomorrow. A useful discussion or examination of the past may be in focus. There’s a tendency to analyze relationships and feelings, mainly related to past connections. While this gives us a new perspective on old issues and problems, we still don’t have the complete picture. As well, we should consider that we may be intellectualizing matters of the heart. We can also be dealing with some unpredictability and fickleness, more inclined to follow whims or feel restless until we recognize the need to freshen up our relationships or pastimes. Rumblings of the need to change unhealthy patterns with relating and spending can occur. At the same time, we’re approaching a Sun-Saturn alignment that perfects tomorrow morning, and our responsibilities or limitations are more apparent to us. The Moon is void from 4:17 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Uranus), until the Moon enters Virgo tomorrow, Wednesday, March 12th, at 3:56 AM EDT.

The Sun forms its yearly alignment with Saturn today, indicating the need to rein things in. It’s a time to work on a revised plan for creating order in our lives or on an old project that requires a new commitment. Emotional energy is not enough to fuel us for the time being. As such, we could feel drained on a physical level. However, recommitting to goals, shouldering responsibilities, and carefully using our resources could feed our need for structure and order in our lives and get us back on track. The Moon continues its period today until the Moon enters Virgo at 3:56 AM EDT.

Our work ethic is strong now, and we understand what most needs our attention. The Virgo Moon, especially its opposition to Saturn tonight, reminds us of the practical details of our lives. Ideally, we slow down just enough to pace ourselves. However, we’re approaching a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, which will occur early tomorrow morning, and as the day advances, emotions heighten.

The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today at 2:54 AM EDT in the sign of Virgo. This eclipse brings sudden awareness to our lives, particularly Friday, MARCH 14 The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today at 2:54 AM EDT in the sign of Virgo. This eclipse brings sudden awareness to our lives, particularly areas requiring more order. Something is exposed or illuminated, prompting us to get in touch with things we may have been neglecting or putting off, especially regarding our work, services, habits, health, and routines. This eclipse is the second in a set of seven occurring along the Virgo-Pisces axis from September 17th, 2024, to February 20th, 2027. While we’ve been focusing on building our faith since September 2024, today’s eclipse in Virgo prompts us to consider getting organized and how it affects the work-rest balance. The Sun harmonizes with Uranus, and we’re more willing to adapt to new circumstances, ideas, and unfamiliar situations. Group connections can be enlightening, and embracing flexibility and innovation can improve our lives. We might arrive at creative solutions to problems and make happy improvements now. Spirits are high, and we’re excited about change. Note that Mercury is heading toward a retrograde station, complicating the day’s energies. It’s best to wait and see rather than push anything forward. At the same time, we can enjoy a spirit of progress. The Moon is void from 1:48 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Neptune), until the Moon enters Libra at 2:59 PM EDT. March 14, 2025 Overview of the Day EDT(GMT-04:00) World 15 14mar2:54 amFull Moon/Lunar Eclipse on March 14, 2025in Virgo The Moon is Full in Virgo on March 14, 2025, at 2:54 AM EDT. This is a total Lunar Eclipse. The Moon is Full in Virgo on March 14, 2025, at 2:54 AM EDT. This is a total Lunar Eclipse. Lunar Eclipse in Virgo: March 14, 2025 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. Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo: March 2025 (Additional Points) 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-04:00) 15marOverview of the DayMarch 15 2025Daily Overview Saturday, MARCH 15
Mercury stations and turns retrograde today, beginning a retrograde cycle that will last until April 7th. Some delays or information clogs are possible in the weeks Saturday, MARCH 15 Mercury stations and turns retrograde today, beginning a retrograde cycle that will last until April 7th. Some delays or information clogs are possible in the weeks ahead. During this cycle, our thinking turns inward as we review and reassess matters. Mercury retrograde periods can be times of heightened inner awareness–times when meditation, journaling, reworking old plans, and reviewing past work are favored more than usual. Minor breaks in the mechanical aspects of communication and transportation can reconnect us to other, possibly more meaningful, means of connecting. This can be a strong period for reviewing our initiative, courage, and independence. We might look at projects, items, situations, problems, and even people in new ways. Mercury begins its retrograde in the sign of Aries and will head back into Pisces on March 29th. Having both Venus and Mercury retrograde in the signs of Aries and Pisces is notable. With the station occurring today and the Moon opposing Venus and Mercury, both currently retrograde in Aries, there can be disconnects, especially between our emotions and intellect or sensibilities. Minor disagreements, often about sensitivity to one another’s feelings, are more likely now, and our affections are complicated. There can also be a battle between our need to consult with others and our desire to act independently or our impulse to go rogue. March 15, 2025 Overview of the Day EDT(GMT-04:00) World 16 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. Mercury Retrograde Cycle: March to April 2025 Mercury Retrograde 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.

In particular, it’s a good time for opportunities to grow and express our compassion and understanding. Mercury’s semi-square with Uranus can introduce some minor erratic elements to the day, however, most notably in our communications, thought processes, and outlook. We’re mentally excited but distractable. We may rush to complete something, share an idea, or communicate, but things could end up half-done if we’re impatient. We are bored with routine, which can signal a need for mental refreshment. The Moon leaves Libra and enters Scorpio at 3:31 AM EDT.

This influence heightens our feelings, awakens our impulses, and stirs our passions. We are independent, more in tune with our instincts, and less demanding of people around us.

However, the Sun aligns with Neptune today, and with this yearly conjunction, we find meaning in our experiences more readily than usual. It’s a time for connecting with our dreams, inner vision, and intuition, especially regarding our life path. We’re tuned in, inspired, and charitable. This combination makes us vastly more aware of the undercurrents surrounding us. We make judgments intuitively and instinctually. We might resist defining our actions and goals; instead, we seek alternate ways of connecting with our dreams. Our morals may be flexible as we tend to stretch our usual boundaries. This transit stimulates and enhances spiritual awareness. It’s a generally good time to connect with our dreams, ideals, and romantic or spiritual selves. We might use more subtle ways to gain power or use our power. While we might idealize our personal mission, instead, we might go the other direction and downplay our egos to reach a goal. Note that the Sun aligns with Neptune in the final degree of Pisces, which is the final degree of the zodiac. As well, it’s the final time the Sun will align with Neptune in the sign of Pisces in our lifetime after doing so for the last thirteen years. It’s a powerful, symbolic time for closing a chapter and shedding what we no longer need before stepping into our next chapter, the unknown, ideally with faith that things will fall into place. Certainly, we can feel overwhelmed, but it’s also a time to listen, receive, and accept.

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Sagittarius, inspiring us to seek knowledge and experience. This Moon transit is exploratory, philosophical, and spontaneous. We should be careful not to commit to something for which we don’t yet have the resources and remind ourselves to be aware of our potential for over-optimism. Otherwise, a Moon-Mercury connection helps us find common ground and open up the lines of communication. We’re enjoying more honesty now.

Venus, still retrograde, now returns to the sign of Pisces.
While Venus began its retrograde on March 1st in the sign of Aries, retrograde Venus returns to the Venus, still retrograde, now returns to the sign of Pisces. While Venus began its retrograde on March 1st in the sign of Aries, retrograde Venus returns to the sign of Pisces on March 27th, 2025. Venus is in Pisces from March 27-April 30, 2025. 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 Retrograde Cycle in Aries + Pisces: March 1-April 12, 2025 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?

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° Aries 00′. New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries Chart: March 29th, 2025 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.

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′. Mercury Retrograde Cycle: March to April 2025 Mercury Retrograde 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.

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.

Mercury Retrograde Cycle: March to April 2025 The year 2025’s first retrograde Mercury cycle began on March 15th and ends now. Mercury’s post-retrograde shadow (from April 7th to 26th, 2025) 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 note 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. This time around, the dates of the stations are March 15th and April 7th. 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 was retrograde, we may have been rethinking a previous plan or pursuit. Looking to the signs and houses it transits can give clues as to what we may be deciding. This retrograde was in Aries and Pisces. In Aries, we were looking at past decisions and ideas from a new, possibly enlightened perspective and reconsidering an initiative or venture. In Pisces, we were reconsidering matters of faith or compassion, spiritual or emotional health practices, and unfinished business. Now that Mercury is direct, slowly but surely, information unclogs, and we can move on. Ideally, while Mercury was retrograde, we had the chance to catch up, refine details, and change our minds if needed.

The Moon is Full in Libra on April 12, 2025, at 8:22 PM EDT. Full Moon in Libra Chart: April 12th, 2025 The Full Moon occurs on Saturday, April 12th, when the Sun in Aries forms an opposition to the Libra Moon. It’s a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of something begun at the New Moon. Heightened emotions, romance, fertilization, relationship drama, and epiphanies are themes. The Aries-Libra polarity is a relationship axis, where Aries represents “self,” and Libra represents “other.” Where Aries is about self-assertion, Libra is about compromise. With the Libra Moon, we’re especially aware of our need for relationships and all that comes with maintaining them — compromising, negotiating, graciousness, and balancing. The Aries Sun, on the other hand, is self-assertive, leading, and personally courageous. This Full Moon urges us to strike a balance between meeting our personal needs and attending to the needs of a significant other, and between independence or autonomy and dependence or companionability. The Libra Moon is diplomatic, equality-focused, and fair-minded. The Aries Sun values authenticity over tact and is energized by independent efforts. The Full Moon illuminates this conflict. Relationship epiphanies occur now. We’re likely to experience revelations about our independence, need for others, and partnerships. This Full Moon forms a square with Mars, lending an impulsive tone to our emotional discoveries. This phase of the Moon occurs at 23 degrees and 20 minutes of Libra opposite the Sun at the same degree of Aries, affecting people with personal planets and points at 19 to 27 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) most significantly.

Mercury spends its time in Aries in two steps in 2025 due to its retrograde cycle from March 15th to April 7th, during which time it returned to Pisces briefly.] When Mercury is in Aries, we are less concerned with objective viewpoints and explanations, and more concerned with reaching a decision…quickly! Our thoughts and ideas are pioneering, and we tend to speak more spontaneously and directly with the planet of communication in bold and assertive Aries. Mercury in Aries themes: Mercury in Aries Mercury spends more than the usual few weeks in the sign of Aries in 2025 due to a retrograde cycle occurring in the signs of Aries and Pisces from March 15th to April 7th, 2025.

Note that Mars first entered Leo on November 3rd, 2024, but later, while retrograde, it returned to the sign Mars is in Leo from April 18th to June 17th, 2025. Note that Mars first entered Leo on November 3rd, 2024, but later, while retrograde, it returned to the sign of Cancer on January 6th, 2025, and has been in Cancer since then. Today, Mars enters Leo once again, and this time, it will transit the sign through to the end. In Leo, Mars is proud, self-confident, and grand. We are spirited and have lofty goals. We go after what we want in a direct, self-assured manner, desiring dramatic results. We prefer not to worry about details, and we take the least complicated route to our goals. The sex drive is strong, and passion for life is high. Mars in Leo can awaken a competitive spirit or drive. We’re more willing to take risks to get what we want. We also tend to make a splash, and we want to be in the driver’s seat. This transit is passionate, ardent, and dramatic. We seek to appear strong and prefer to be in the lead or the center of attention. We can be particularly angry if we feel disrespected or are in an undignified position. Note that Mars typically spends about two months in a sign, but this time around, it transited Leo for longer, although in a divided way. This is due to a recent retrograde Mars cycle that divided its time between Leo and Cancer. Mars was retrograde from December 6th, 2024, to February 23, 2025. and was retrograde specifically in Leo from December 6th, 2024, to January 6th, 2025.

In Taurus, the Sun is methodical, sensual, and receptive. The Sun in Taurus is most active when it is defending or resisting! As the Sun moves through Taurus when plants take root, our determination and security needs are strong. Taurus is loyal to all that is familiar and values longevity. The shadow side of Taurus is possessiveness and bullheadedness. The Sun in Taurus is the connoisseur and sensualist. It’s patient, stubborn, earthy, stable, and rooted. The Sun-in-Taurus cycle is a good one for maintaining or building, as well as enjoying and appreciating what’s already in place. While the Taurus Sun is slow to warm up, it’s stable and persevering once it does. We value what’s long-term, strong, and lasting during this phase.

New Moon in Taurus chart: April 27th, 2025 The New Moon in Taurus marks the beginning of a new cycle. The Aries New Moon cycle ends and the Taurus New Moon cycle begins. The New Moon in Taurus is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Bull. It’s time to enjoy life’s simple and physical pleasures–savor good food and enjoy activities that bring us in touch with nature and with our bodies. It’s time to stop and smell the roses and to become more aware of what makes us feel comfortable and secure. This is a solid cycle for re-evaluating our relationship with money and possessions and discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. This New Moon forms a square to Mars and another to Pluto, occurring not long after Mars and Pluto exactly opposed one another. The tension or frustration created by this opposition could, at least in part, motivate our new beginnings. There can be some obstacles to clear as we wrestle with our impatience, fears, hidden agendas, and ambitions. With this potent Taurus energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives. It’s time to make some solid and realistic plans and to set the stage for reaping the rewards from our new beginnings, as little or big as they may be, in approximately two weeks’ time after the Full Moon occurs. This phase of the Moon occurs at 7 degrees and 47 minutes of Taurus, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 4 to 12 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) the most significantly. The above chart is good for seeing the most important influences and the chart pattern for this New Moon.

Venus is in Aries from February 4 to March 27, 2025, and then April 30 to June 6, 2025. This two-step, drawn-out pattern is unusual for Venus due to the Venus is in Aries from February 4 to March 27, 2025, and then April 30 to June 6, 2025. 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 divided 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 turned retrograde in the sign of Aries, we experienced different behaviors. See Venus turns retrograde in Aries (2025) for more details.

Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius: May 4-October 13, 2025 Pluto stations and turns retrograde today and will be retrograde until October 13th. This shift of direction tends to bring about some initial confusion, heaviness, and magnification of problems. Pluto’s retrograde cycle itself, however, is an excellent period for research and gaining new insight into our self-destructive tendencies, needs for control, and search for the truth by looking within. Outward pressures may ease somewhat during this period. Over the coming months, we may be reassessing how we use our power. This is the first year that Pluto begins and ends its retrograde early in the sign of Aquarius (in previous years, retrograde Pluto returned to Capricorn, but no longer–Pluto took its final dip back into Capricorn in 2024).

When Mercury is in Taurus, our thinking is down to earth, solid, and grounded. Common sense reigns over more fanciful thinking. We communicate more deliberately under this influence, and our minds are oriented to the world of the five senses. We prefer the tried and true to new ways of thinking. Attention to one thing at a time can simplify our lives, but we may be in danger of narrow, overly conservative, or rigid thinking.

The Moon is Full in Scorpio on May 12, 2025, at 12:56 PM EDT. Full Moon in Scorpio Chart: May 12th, 2025 A Full Moon occurs when the Sun in Taurus forms an opposition to the Moon in Scorpio. 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. This phase of the Moon occurs at 22 degrees and 13 minutes of Scorpio, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 18 to 26 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly. The Taurus-Scorpio polarity deals with the balance between all that is mine (Taurus) and all that is yours (Scorpio). It also emphasizes the concept of form (Taurus) versus transformation (Scorpio). While Taurus deals with matter, personal values, material goods, possessions, and security, Scorpio rules the destruction of form, shared possessions, change, and transformation. The Sun in Taurus encourages happiness with the simple, tangible things in life, while the Scorpio Moon draws our attention to complexities, intangibles, and mysteries. 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 emotional declarations. Something has been building inside of us, likely of an intimate nature, 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 declaration means for us. For now, we can’t sit on our feelings — we need to express them. The Full Moon illuminates this conflict between collecting and sharing. 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 emotions burst 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. Full Moons are about exposing or illuminating issues that are already there, but that have not yet been dealt with. Where does the Full Moon fall by house in your natal chart? Read more here. We are excited about making changes, but there can be some impulsivity or abruptness involved with our revelations now with the Sun applying to a conjunction to Uranus.

Knowledge and diversity motivate us with the Sun in Gemini. We are more sociable, intellectual, and insatiably curious under this influence. We tend to scatter our energies due to this curiosity and awareness of all of our options. We are more communicative and versatile, but we can also be unreliable. Gemini represents duality and mediation. Gemini’s energy is intelligent, optimistic, observant, and adaptable. It’s skeptical, ready to consider alternate ways of thinking. We’re prepared to trade, share, exchange, pass on news, teach, guide, and learn. We gather information during the Sun-in-Gemini cycle, and we benefit from this transit’s objectivity. We’re quick-witted, cheerful, engaging, and we easily adapt, observe, and listen–it’s a clever and crafty influence. On the downside, we can be gossipy, overly intellectual, or too rational when a softer touch would be more appropriate. As we relay and process information, we could be living too much in our heads, disconnected from what’s in our hearts. Sun in Gemini While the Sun is in Gemini in 2025, it forms the following aspects (excludes the Moon).

Saturn is in Aries from May 24, 2025, to September 1, 2025, and then from February 13, 2026, to Apr 12, 2028.
Saturn is in Aries from May 24, 2025, to September 1, 2025, and then from February 13, 2026, to Apr 12, 2028. While Saturn is in Aries, we may initially experience frustration when pursuing our individual goals. We can feel uncomfortable with big shows of individuality or me-centered behavior while Saturn is in Aries. However, this period also presents a unique opportunity for personal growth. As we learn to balance our individual needs with collective responsibilities, we can overcome this discomfort. By recognizing the necessity for this balanced attention, we can expand our potential for personal development. Otherwise, we might inadvertently limit ourselves. In recent years, there has been much attention to the self. Aries energies have been revered and celebrated. Saturn in Aries aims to moderate this focus where it’s been excessive. We become more critical of this celebration, noting where a “me-first” attitude or “express your true self” at all costs has worked against us. Saturn in Aries cringes at excessive self-importance, in fact. However, it may go too far in that direction when the goal should be to correct where things have been immoderate or imbalanced and excessive. Ideally, we’re striving for healthy, balanced levels of self-sacrifice. During this transit, we can be resourceful. It’s a prime time to evaluate our egoism and self-centeredness, identifying areas where we may assert ourselves to our own detriment. For instance, in our pursuit of ‘living our truth,’ we may inadvertently trample on others’ liberties. The Saturn in Aries transit empowers us to recognize and address these self-centered behaviors, putting us in control of our actions and their consequences. It’s also a time for exploring our fear of being seen as less than strong or less than first place. These fears can limit our experiences as we might bow out of competition or avoid activities where we might appear less than competent. In truth, these experiences could be wonderful if we enjoy them for what they are rather than worry about the outcomes.

When Mercury is in Gemini, we are especially communicative, curious, and sociable. Mercury feels right at home in Gemini, one of the signs that it rules. We tend to take more pleasure in gaining a superficial knowledge of many subjects rather than dig deep into any one topic. When it comes to making a point or debating, we are especially astute while Mercury is in Gemini. We are attracted to wordplays, puns, and negotiations, and we’re easily distracted.

The New Moon in Gemini marks the beginning of a new cycle. The Taurus New Moon The Moon is New in Gemini on May 26, 2025, at 11:02 PM EDT. The New Moon in Gemini marks the beginning of a new cycle. The Taurus New Moon cycle ends and the Gemini New Moon cycle begins on May 26th. The following is the chart of this lunation. New Moon in Gemini Chart: May 26, 2025 The New Moon is a time of rebirth–a time when we are given a chance to start fresh. The New Moon in Gemini cycle presents opportunities to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Twins. It’s time to improve our communication skills by listening to others and enjoying their points of view, rather than doggedly seeking to find that one elusive “answer.” This is a good cycle in which to re-evaluate our communication and social skills by questioning just how much we actually take in information and communicate in a friendly, non-threatening manner. How we get around (transit) and connect with others can be in great focus. We might carve out more time to socialize and enjoy others–whether they are neighbors, friends, family, or acquaintances–just for the simple pleasure of doing so. It’s a good time to find new avenues or channels to express ourselves and learn by awakening our curiosity and refining our writing, speaking, teaching, and listening skills. We might commit to adding some mental variety to our lives and opening our minds to gathering more information and facts from our environment. Although Gemini is sometimes associated with superficial connections and communications, dig a little deeper and you will see that there is much to learn from the light, two-way, and comfortable conversations that characterize the sign. With this potent Gemini energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives. This lunation aligns with Mercury and harmonizes with Pluto, and the desire for more communication and understanding can be very real now, motivating new beginnings. It can be a pleasantly intense time. This phase of the Moon occurs at 6 degrees and 6 minutes of Gemini, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 2 to 10 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) most significantly.
