Overview for this Month: Cancer (All)
March 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Cancer:
The month ahead puts a strong focus on learning, sharing, and broadening your horizons, dear Cancer. You've felt a little freer and more assertive as Mars, currently transiting your sign, recently ended its retrograde period. You're rediscovering your initiative and rebuilding your enthusiasm.
However, March also brings Venus and Mercury retrograde periods, which can point to some slowdowns or complications. These are temporary and ultimately can be quite helpful but can serve to frustrate you at times. Career or reputation matters could be causing you some concern in March, but try not to fret over details. Instead, come up with a better game plan.
It’s important to recognize where you might be overshooting or putting too much pressure on something to work a certain way. Ambitions run high, but goals may require more time to achieve. Be patient and look for ways to improve the ventures or projects you already have in place rather than taking on something brand new. Pushing can lead to irritating delays, and the need to set your own pace is strong this month with Mars in your sign. Opportunities to begin anew and get back on track from a stronger position will arise in the months ahead, particularly if you do the leg work now.
Opportunities to break the routine are likely to emerge. Learning, sharing ideas, publishing, studying, or promoting are rewarding themes in your life. Something that connects you with a new, different, or broader audience or with other ideas and cultures can be in focus now, and it’s gratifying. A change of pace or scenery can be beneficial now.
Mars in your sign can undoubtedly keep you looking forward, which is a good thing, but it can sometimes encourage you to push faster or harder than is advisable. This can certainly bring about a state of restlessness and discontent at times, which can wear you down if you’re not careful. Aim to finish what you started before moving on. Generally, you feel more confident and ready to pursue your goals with gusto. There can be times when this is a little raw with Venus retrograde, but as you get the hang of Mars energy, you’re likely to wear it well.
Redoing work or returning to old material or conversations and problems can make you feel a little stuck at times, but redirections can be helpful in the long run. The Lunar Eclipse on the 14th can be revealing, although it can also reveal flaws. Adjustments become necessary before regaining confidence in a project. This eclipse can bring discoveries, ideas, and changes in your mindset or attitude. Watch for impulsive self-expression, but give weight to your emotions and any epiphanies occurring now. This eclipse reminds you to connect with your true feelings about what you’re learning, communicating, and sharing.
From the 20th, your focus tends to be more organized, if a little past-oriented. This is one of the most goal-oriented times of the year, and it can also be one of the more public ones – people take notice of you, and you can be more accountable than usual. If you've been working hard, rewards for your work are on the horizon. The month requires patience!
What you do and say has more impact than usual, so be on your best behavior! This is a critical time for reevaluating your projects and goals, and you have an exclusive window into the past that helps you make better decisions for the future, especially around the 22nd to the 24th.
A Solar Eclipse occurs on the 29th, bringing additional power to your sector of career and reputation. It can be a time for a significant turning point. There can be the need to follow the rules or straighten out an area of your life. Changes in goals, plans, and priorities may be in the pipeline. Decisions about the direction of your career are likely to be finalized as you go forward. Neptune's move into Aries, your career and performance sector, echoes some of the themes of March. There's more mystery surrounding your longer-term goals, but also a chance to see them from a different perspective.

March 2025 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
March 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until March 20th:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar ninth house now. This is a cycle in which you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines. You may feel a little restless if you don't find ways to explore.
It's an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective--a broader one--whether you initiate this process or you make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently. Your energy is strong, open, and friendly right now, you come across well to others, and you are a little bolder and adventurous than usual.
From March 20th forward:
The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your "place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.
You want to shine! Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.
Eclipses
A Lunar Eclipse occurs on March 14th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar third house. Surprises surrounding your siblings, neighbors, or classmates are in store. Something that has been in hiding or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of communications is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination of a writing project, an event involving a sibling that grabs your complete attention, a sudden opportunity for an adventure or trip, a flurry of activity in your immediate environment or neighborhood that demands attention, a letter or other communication that holds a big surprise, and other such possibilities.
A Solar Eclipse occurs on March 29th:
Because new information that could change our perspective can reveal itself after an eclipse, it's better to avoid major decision-making the week before and after this event. It's a time to observe and wait and see.
The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar tenth house, suggesting that a new approach to your career or a new career direction altogether is in store for you. New business plans and goals may be formed in the coming month, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your career goals is a strong potential. This is a phase of being especially busy with career and/or public responsibilities. The outside world is calling!
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Venus is retrograde from March 1st forward (until April 12th):
This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs for the most part in your solar tenth house of career and reputation. For the time being, the social aspect of relationships on the job may be compromised somewhat. Be as non-judgmental as you can with co-workers during this cycle.
You might find that your professional reputation is not as favorable as it typically is, at least not from your point of view. You may not know how exactly you would like to come across, and this could be the reason for any confusion just now. Look to the past for answers before pushing forward.
Relationships with friends and family may be a little strained, or they can be up for review, as these are Venus-ruled areas of your chart.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
From March 3rd to 28th:
Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.
Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies. You may be turned to for advice or for your opinion on important matters. Although approachable and ready to communicate, you are less inclined to chat about frivolous matters now.
You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.
Mercury is retrograde from March 15th forward (until April 7th):
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of personal communications in general as well as communications about the past because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Your intuition usually serves you very well, but may not be up to par for the time being. Take care when it comes to presenting ideas, writing letters, and any detail work. You may not be seeing the whole picture.
Occurring in your solar ninth and tenth houses this time, extra care should be used when communicating with superiors and co-workers, and regarding travel or education plans. Delays are very possible. You may be re-thinking things regarding your life path, but it's best to think rather than act for now, as your judgment may be compromised. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers, professors, lawyers, and family members, or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to activate your solar first house, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general.
This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive.
You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.

Cancer (Born July 2 to 12)
AND Cancer Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Cancer:
March 2025 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
March 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now.
A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Venus is retrograde from March 1st forward (until April 12th):
This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs for the most part in your solar ninth house of faith and adventure. An argument over personal philosophies of life can get you into hot water, or you could be reassessing your faith, during this cycle.
It may be that your larger, broader plans and visions don't satisfy you very much these days. This is a cycle during which you might redefine these visions. An old lover might resurface in your life, complicating the present.
Relationships with friends and family may be a little strained, or they can be up for review, as these are Venus-ruled areas of your chart.

Cancer (Born July 13 to 22)
AND Cancer Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Cancer:
March 2025 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
March 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until March 10th:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar eighth house. Your attention turns inward, as well as to close personal relationships on a deeper level. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other's money, such as the resources of a partner, inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes.
You are more intense in your mood and disposition, and perhaps even secretive, at this time of year. You are more in touch with the deeper and even primal elements of your own personality, and more able to see these things in others. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.
From March 10th forward:
This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith.

A Solar Eclipse occurs on March 29th:
Because new information that could change our perspective can reveal itself after an eclipse, it's better to avoid major decision-making the week before and after this event. It's a time to observe and wait and see.
The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar ninth house, suggesting that a new approach to how you expand your horizons, be they physical or mental (or both). New or updated travel plans, education goals, or adventures may be forming in the coming months, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration regarding your ability to expand your personal world is a strong potential.
This is a phase when you can be especially busy initiating new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an experience that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Venus is retrograde from March 1st forward (until April 12th):
This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs for the most part in your solar ninth house of faith and adventure. An argument over personal philosophies of life can get you into hot water, or you could be reassessing your faith, during this cycle.

It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with professors and lawyers as well; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 20th:
Mars continues to energize your solar twelfth house now. While Mars occupies the twelfth house, asserting yourself in a direct and straightforward manner can be difficult. This is largely due to a feeling of not being in touch with what it is you want or desire just for the time being as you reassess your goals and needs.
This lack of direction and self-knowledge should prompt you to look within to learn about your desires. It is likely that you will be much clearer when Mars reaches your first house. For the time being, take some time for rest and give your ego a break.
From the 20th forward:
You are able to stand your ground and assert yourself more than usual during this transit of Mars through your solar first house. You have energy at your disposal to move your plans forward, and you are more enterprising. You want to leave your mark on the world in some way--however big or small--and you are more able to make an impression than usual. If circumstances are such, you are able to easily fight back. In fact, you may be somewhat combative under this influence, and you may have a short temper.
Avoid being pushy. Take charge of your life, but don't bulldoze over others in the process! This is an excellent transit for assertiveness and physical vitality. Love affairs may also be stepped up during this period. On the rare occasion when an accident occurs, it is more likely to involve the head or face.

This eclipse can bring discoveries, ideas, and changes in your mindset or attitude. Watch for impulsive self-expression, but give weight to your emotions and any epiphanies occurring now. This eclipse reminds you to connect with your true feelings about what you’re learning, communicating, and sharing.
From the 20th, your focus tends to be more organized, if a little past-oriented. This is one of the most goal-oriented times of the year, and it can also be one of the more public ones – people take notice of you, and you can be more accountable than usual. If you've been working hard, rewards for your work are on the horizon. The month requires patience!
What you do and say has more impact than usual, so be on your best behavior! This is a critical time for reevaluating your projects and goals, and you have an exclusive window into the past that helps you make better decisions for the future, especially around the 22nd to the 24th.
A Solar Eclipse occurs on the 29th, bringing additional power to your sector of career and reputation. It can be a time for a significant turning point. There can be the need to follow the rules or straighten out an area of your life. Changes in goals, plans, and priorities may be in the pipeline. Decisions about the direction of your career are likely to be finalized as you go forward. Neptune's move into Aries, your career and performance sector, echoes some of the themes of March. There's more mystery surrounding your longer-term goals, but also a chance to see them from a different perspective.

About These Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart.
Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month.
For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. Transits don’t abruptly change as the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Lunar Cycles section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes, simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
