It’s horoscope time! Check out what’s in store for you this month by reading through the larger themes of these March 2025 horoscopes, then finding your specific sign below.
As soon as the world’s wheels were pried out of a muddy Mars retrograde lasting nearly three months, a second—and third—planetary retrograde grinds into the machinery of March, with less than a week of grace in between. This month hosts Venus and Mercury’s overlapping retrogrades amid the first pair of major eclipses in 2025, punctuated by the spring equinox (if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere) and the dawn of an astrological new year. Whew, take a breath.
On March 1st, Venus wrings into a retrograde phase lasting through April 12th. But where Mars spent weeks dragging through Cancer with slow, soggy intensity, Venus will blaze backward in bold firebrand Aries. Over roughly six weeks, Venus grants a rare opportunity to slash through blunders in judgment regarding our values. An earnest and unforgiving truth will torch blind spots that have hindered our capacity for love. Where enlightenment causes discomfort, empowerment is promised. Mercury will also be retrograde for most of Venus’s descent, from March 15th until April 7th, electrifying detailed strategy while stymying forward movement.
A Lunar Eclipse (and Full Moon) in Virgo occurs on March 14th as the year’s initiatory eclipse in a seasonal series. Dreams and delusions are stripped away, exposing reality in its original dirt and revealing a clean canvas to work with in the coming season. On March 29th, a Solar Eclipse (and New Moon) in Aries offers a chance to create from a seat of unique and unapologetic authenticity. What’s begun at the end of the month carries a singular potential for long-lasting success.
