astrological alignment for the month ahead
March 2025 carries the energy of profound transition. Astrologically speaking this month is moving, shaking, and disrupting patterning. It is a month of awakening, where the tides of change become undeniable, urging us to surrender, realign, and step into greater authenticity. With major planetary shifts and an eclipse gracing the sky, March is an invitation to release the outdated old paradigms and embrace all that awaits you.
So here’s what to expect
March dates to remember
March 9, 2025 – Mercury Retrograde begins in Aries
Mercury stations retrograde in bold and impulsive Aries, urging us to slow down and reconsider our path before we charge ahead. This is a time to revisit old ideas, refine plans, and be mindful of communication flare-ups. Patience is key—what feels urgent may need a second look. Pause and breathe before taking action.
March 14, 2025 – Mars conjunct Saturn in Pisces
A day of discipline and endurance. Mars, the warrior, meets Saturn, the master of time, in the ethereal waters of Pisces. This can feel like trying to move forward in slow motion, but instead of resisting, use this energy to build something meaningful with patience and intention. Again patience is the key to this transit. Spring energy wants to blossom and bloom but remember good things take time, intention, and attention.
Theme: Strength through surrender. Trust divine timing, even if things seem delayed.
March 14-15, 2025 – Sun conjunct Neptune in Pisces
The Sun merges with Neptune, amplifying intuition, spiritual insights, and the call to dissolve egoic attachments. This is a deeply mystical transit, but it can also bring feelings of confusion or fatigue. It’s a beautiful time for meditation, dreamwork, and creative exploration—just be mindful of escapism. C
Reminder: Trust the currents of your journey.
March 20, 2025 – Spring Equinox & Aries Season Begins
The astrological new year arrives with the Spring Equinox, bringing a reset moment in time. Aries season initiates bold movement and a fresh wave of momentum after the watery Pisces depths. This is an activation point—where we ignite new beginnings, reclaim our willpower, and step into a season of rebirth.
Plant Allies: Nettle, Dandelion, and Lilac
March 25, 2025 – Lunar Eclipse in Libra
Eclipses are turning points in our astrological journey, and this one in Libra highlights relationships, balance, and karmic realignments. Expect shifts in partnerships, contracts, and interpersonal dynamics. What is out of harmony in your life will be revealed—some endings may be necessary for deeper equilibrium to emerge. Let things be turned upside down temporarily.
Practice: Somatic Shaking Meditation
March 28, 2025 – Venus enters Aries
Venus, the planet of love, moves into deeply passionate Aries, bringing directness and courage in relationships. This is a time to boldly express desires, take initiative in matters of the heart, and embrace self-love as the foundation for all connections. Love fiercely, lead with passion, and be unapologetic about what you truly want in relationship (to others, and yourself.)
Plant Allies: Damiana and Rose
March main character energy
♓ Pisces & ♈ Aries
Pisces: With Venus, Neptune, Mars, and Saturn all making major moves in your sign, you are going through a deep spiritual and emotional transformation. March is about dissolving old versions of yourself and stepping into a more aligned path—one that requires surrender, patience, and trust in divine timing. Expect both inspiration and moments of deep reflection.
Aries: With Mercury retrograde in your sign + the Equinox marking Aries season, this is a pivotal moment for you. Expect to revisit past projects, refine your plans, and step into a new cycle of personal leadership by month’s end. Things may feel slow in the first half of March, but once Venus enters Aries (March 28), you’ll be moving full speed ahead.
"The Journey"'
One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice—
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
“Mend my life!”
each voice cried.
But you didn’t stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the knobs of your front door,
though the house behind you
was already a dream,
and the voice of the world
was already a voice
in your head.
You slowly turned the page
and began.
