This week sits between two eclipses, with the recent Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo (March 14) still reverberating through our lives, while another eclipse approaches on March 29. This “between eclipses” energy often creates a sense of transition and revelation as certain aspects of our lives fall away to make room for new beginnings.
The Spring Equinox arrives on March 20, marking not only the official start of spring but also the astrological new year as the Sun moves into Aries. This transition heralds a shift from the dreamy, introspective energy of Pisces season to the more dynamic, action-oriented energy of Aries.
Further complicating the astrological landscape, we find ourselves at the halfway point of Venus retrograde in Aries, while Mercury retrograde (which began on March 15) continues to influence communications and plans. Additionally, two asteroids station retrograde this week: Juno in Sagittarius on March 19 and Vesta in Scorpio on March 21. These retrogrades collectively invite us to slow down, reflect, and reassess rather than forge ahead with new initiatives.
The week culminates with the Last Quarter Moon in Capricorn on March 22, a time for reflection and release as we determine what is and isn’t working in our lives. This lunar phase brings a grounding, productive energy that helps us organize our thoughts and make practical progress after the potentially disorienting effects of the retrograde planets.
Let’s see what the universe holds for each sign with your weekly horoscopes (March 16 – 22, 2025) below.
