March 2025 is shaping up to be an intense month in astrology. If you thought the first couple of months this year were rocky, you might want to buckle up. There’s a cosmic storm brewing with not just one, but two retrogrades and a lunar eclipse on the horizon. It’s the perfect time to reflect, rework, and maybe rethink some of those New Year’s resolutions you’ve either dropped or avoided completely. But don’t worry—there’s also a chance for renewal and growth in the middle of the chaos.

Welcome to the Astrological New Year!

While most people ring in the new year on January 1st, astrologers often view the real reset as starting when the Sun moves into Aries on March 20th. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, marking a fresh cycle and the arrival of spring. In other words, January was just the warm-up. March is the real deal.

But before you pop the champagne, be aware: this new astrological year won’t come without its challenges. Venus goes retrograde on March 1st, followed by Mercury retrograde and a lunar eclipse on March 14th. These events can stir up all kinds of emotional turbulence, misunderstandings, and personal revelations.

Here’s a breakdown of what each zodiac sign can expect in March 2025.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

March could feel like a karmic reset for Aries. Mercury enters your sign on March 3, giving you a major confidence boost—at least for a little while. But when Mercury retrogrades on March 14, expect miscommunications, delays, and confusion. Venus is also retrograde in your sign, making you reevaluate close relationships and your sense of self-worth.

The good news? Aries has luck on its side this month. The universe is giving you the green light to chase after your goals with newfound determination. The solar eclipse on March 25 marks the last new moon eclipse in Aries for seven years, so now is the time to launch bold projects or take that leap of faith you’ve been contemplating.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

For Taurus, March is a month of deep reflection. Venus—your ruling planet—retrogrades, nudging you to think hard about who and what truly supports your growth. Take stock of your long-term goals and friendships. What’s working? What’s holding you back? By month’s end, you’ll gain clarity and make decisions that align with your higher purpose.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

This month puts the spotlight on your career, Gemini. Venus retrograde stirs up old work projects or professional connections you thought were behind you. Mercury retrograde, however, might cause miscommunications or delays—especially in your professional life.

Instead of rushing forward, astrologers recommend using this time to reevaluate your long-term goals. Make sure your plans are sustainable before moving ahead.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

March encourages Cancer signs to break out of their comfort zones. Whether it’s travel, education, or spirituality, this is your moment to explore new perspectives. However, Mercury retrograde could cause hiccups along the way, especially if you’re traveling. Stay flexible and open-minded—whatever you discover during this time will be valuable for your personal growth.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Leo, March might test your patience. Venus retrograde urges you to take a hard look at your finances, while Mercury retrograde clouds your judgment. Expect confusion, second-guessing, and maybe a bit of frustration.

But the lunar eclipse on March 14 could offer clarity, especially concerning your financial life. Keep a close eye on your budget and avoid risky decisions until things settle.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Relationships are front and center for Virgos this month. Venus retrogrades through your house of partnership, bringing old flames or unresolved issues back into the picture. The lunar eclipse on March 14 might highlight some emotional truths you’ve been avoiding.

While it could be an emotionally charged time, it also offers a chance to transform how you approach your relationships. Deep healing is possible if you’re open to it.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

If your New Year’s resolutions didn’t quite stick, Libra, March gives you a do-over. Venus retrograde inspires you to focus on self-care and wellness routines. Are you prioritizing your needs? Or are you spreading yourself too thin?

Take a step back, breathe, and listen to what your body is telling you. Mercury retrograde might bring a few frustrations, but stressing over things beyond your control won’t help. Trust the process.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Scorpio, this month is full of creative energy and romantic opportunities. Venus retrograde may push you to revisit old creative projects or reconnect with someone from your past. But be careful—Mercury retrograde could cause misunderstandings, especially in matters of the heart.

Take your time before diving back into old relationships or making any big declarations.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Home and family life will demand your attention, Sagittarius. Venus retrograde brings up old family patterns or unresolved issues. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde could lead to communication breakdowns.

Use this time to heal old wounds and strengthen your emotional foundation. By the end of the month, you’ll feel more grounded and ready to move forward with a clearer sense of where you belong.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Capricorn, you’re usually reserved when it comes to expressing emotions, but this month could change that. Venus retrograde encourages you to reevaluate how you communicate your feelings. It might be uncomfortable, but opening up could lead to deeper connections.

This is also a time for personal growth—reflect on who you are and where you’re headed. The introspection will pay off.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Your finances are in the cosmic spotlight this month, Aquarius. Venus retrograde prompts you to rethink your spending and saving habits, while Mercury retrograde could cause delays with investments or financial decisions.

Be cautious and take the time to define what financial abundance truly means for you. By April, you’ll have a better handle on how to manage your resources.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Pisces, this is your month for introspection and personal reflection. Venus retrograde encourages you to turn inward and focus on self-love and healing. However, Mercury retrograde may create communication glitches, so be patient with yourself and others.

This is a time to reconnect with who you are and to set intentions for the year ahead. Trust your intuition—it’s your greatest strength right now.

Final Thoughts

March 2025 is a mixed bag of cosmic events, from retrogrades to eclipses. Some signs will breeze through the challenges, while others may feel like they’re in an emotional spin cycle. No matter where you fall on the spectrum, this month offers valuable lessons and opportunities for personal growth.

Take it slow, stay grounded, and remember: the stars don’t control you—they guide you.
