Horoscope for the first half of March

The month begins with Venus retrograde, a planet that governs themes such as beauty, femininity, emotions, love, and pleasure, our relationships, self-care, and internal values, as well as how we manage our finances and resources and what we value in exchanges with others.

From March 1 to April 12, it will be time to reflect on how we are relating to our most sensitive side and the people around us, as well as what we truly value.

The period when Venus is retrograde in the Aries sector calls for an evaluation of which relationships may be preventing you from exercising your true autonomy and independence – or whether your impulsiveness and competitiveness have been causing harm to your relationships or financial life.

Additionally, in the coming days, the Sun, and Jupiter will be in tension, which may make it harder to focus and lead to distractions in daily activities, especially if your tasks involve analysis, critical thinking, or review. It’s best to use a practical mindset to avoid falling into idealism and to act pragmatically.

On March 3, Mercury – the planet that governs communication, logical thinking, travel, mental exchanges, and studies – enters Aries. With this movement, it’s wise to find ways to keep your mind grounded in the present, as it may become more restless than usual. Also, be cautious with impulsive actions and words.

Take advantage of this period to use objectivity in communication and the Aries enthusiasm to push forward with important personal projects. Also, pay attention to any challenges that may arise, as Mercury’s retrograde phase is approaching.

As the first half of the month nears its end, the Sun aligns with Saturn in Pisces, bringing a sense of limitation to self-expression. This is a reminder to stay committed to fulfilling your responsibilities, even amid the period’s heightened difficulty in maintaining focus. Finding a healthy balance between allowing yourself physical and mental rest and fulfilling obligations with quality is essential.

By mid-month, on March 14, we will have the first Eclipse of the year in the sign of Virgo. This Lunar Eclipse will continue the Eclipse cycle that began in October of the previous year, in the Virgo-Pisces axis. These eclipses will last until early 2027, and during this period, the focus will be on themes such as collective unconsciousness, emotional health, and even environmental issues.

Some key reflections for this eclipse moment:

• How am I balancing my practical, material life with my spiritual side?
• Which habits should I keep, and which should I eliminate to maintain a healthier routine?
• Is there any health symptom that needs my attention and care? Am I taking good care of my body and well-being?
• In what areas of my life might my perfectionism and need for control be working against me?
• What adjustments can I make to my routine to create more space for self-connection and spirituality?

Predictions for the second half of March

The second half of the march 2025 monthly horoscope also brings new developments. On the day following the Lunar Eclipse, we will have the beginning of Mercury retrograde in Aries, a movement that will last until April 7, returning to the sign of Pisces.

During this period, the invitation is to slow down, review, and reassess how you express yourself in relationships and communicate your perspective on things. Be cautious with impulsive decisions and avoid saying things in the heat of the moment. Patience is the key to navigating this slower-paced phase, especially in such an intense and fast-moving sign.

On March 20, it’s time to start a new astrological year!

The Sun enters the sign of Aries, adding even more energy to the first sign of the zodiac, and from this point on, the Astrological New Year begins. Unlike the Gregorian civil calendar’s New Year, which is a cultural and civil date, Astrology marks the renewal of a year based on the natural cycles of our planet. In this case, time is measured by the Equinoxes (the moment when the Sun is near the Equator, illuminating both hemispheres equally) and the sign of Aries. Want to learn more?

Now, with so many planets in Aries, the passionate, pioneering, and independent nature of this sign takes center stage, encouraging us to put our plans into action, focus on ourselves, and channel our energy into projects that allow us to act with autonomy and enthusiasm. Once again, don’t forget to be mindful of Aries’ possible negative traits: competitiveness, aggressiveness, and impulsiveness can emerge when the sign operates in its shadow.

Venus retrograde returns to the sign of Pisces on the 27th, shifting the tone of the evaluations and reassessments we are making regarding love, affection, relationships, values, and finances. Now, the sign associated with the water element calls us to reflect on the idealizations we still carry in our relationships—or how much we surrender to others to the point of losing ourselves in those very relationships.

Before the month ends, we will still be gifted with two major astrological events. On March 29, there will be a Solar Eclipse in Aries, marking the final eclipse of the Aries-Libra axis, a cycle that has been occurring since 2023. Then, on March 30, we will see the entry of Neptune into Aries, an astrological shift that promises to set a new tone for the rest of the year.

This last Eclipse of the season may signal the closing of chapters related to situations you have experienced over the past two years, especially if Aries is a significant placement in your Birth Chart. Take a moment to reflect on how your relationships and sense of autonomy have evolved during this period. How has your understanding of self versus others changed? What adjustments still need to be made for you to officially conclude this chapter?

Even though this is a time of closure, new cycles also begin. So, while you celebrate your achievements, the Solar Eclipse also invites you to embrace the new. You may feel an urge to embark on new projects, assert your individuality, and take bold steps toward achieving your goals.

Neptune enters Aries after more than a decade in Pisces

Finally, closing the month, one of the most significant astrological events of the year: Neptune enters the sign of Aries, where it will remain for about 14 years, bringing a new collective dynamic.

Neptune takes 165 years to complete its journey around the Zodiac, spending approximately 14 years in each sign. It has been transiting Pisces since 2012, a sign highly aligned with its characteristics, further amplifying idealism, illusions, escapism, and all sorts of collective confusion and catharsis.

The entry of Neptune into Aries marks one of the most important events of 2025. Along with Saturn, which will also enter a fire element sign in two months, we will be called to passionately seek the purpose of our actions, channeling our energy into causes we believe in. However, it is important not to confuse determination with selfish obstinacy or anxiety for immediate results.

Many of the social and political crises we have experienced lately may be anchored in the kind of social fog influenced by Neptune’s passage through Pisces since 2012. In this highly technological phase, information flowed freely, generating not only difficult truths but also falsehoods that turned into "truths", making it increasingly challenging to distinguish reality from illusion, narratives from facts.

Aries is astrologically known for its impulsive energy, action-oriented mindset, courage, and leadership. Together, these two components can bring diverse transformations across various areas. With this configuration, we may witness significant macro-level shifts, such as new ways of perceiving and experiencing spirituality, as well as increased global agitation, where people will become more direct and less susceptible to illusions.
