March may be the official start of spring, but astrologically speaking, it’s bringing the heat long before the flowers bloom. This month is packed with dramatic cosmic shifts that will shake up relationships, career plans, and even your daily routines—so, buckle up.
First, Venus, the planet of love and pleasure, goes retrograde in fiery Aries on March 1, encouraging you to pause and reassess what (and who) truly sparks joy. “Venus in Aries isn’t afraid to go after what she wants, but retrograde energy forces a slowdown,” says Donna Page, an Atlanta-based astrologer with a graduate degree in counseling psychology. “This is a time to reflect on your desires and make sure you’re chasing what truly aligns with you.” Then, Mercury, the planet of communication, follows suit, going retrograde on March 15, which could make communication trickier than usual. (Think before you text that ex!)
Meanwhile, the full moon in Virgo on March 14 highlights work, wellness, and all the little details that keep life running smoothly—expect some reality checks in these areas. The big finale for this month? A powerful solar eclipse in Aries on March 29 brings shake-ups and breakthroughs that will push you to embrace a fresh start.
Curious how all this fiery, transformative energy will impact your zodiac sign? Ahead, Page shares her March 2025 horoscope predictions for each one:
Aries (march 21 – april 19)
March is all about YOU, Aries! With Venus, the planet of love and pleasure, retrograde in your sign, you’re rethinking what you truly want—whether in love, career, or finances. Your usual go-getter attitude is being tested, but don’t rush—this is a month to develop strategy, not act on impulse.
Mercury, the planet of communication, also goes retrograde in your sign mid-month, bringing some communication hiccups. Expect to revisit old conversations, unresolved conflicts, and even past flings. Around the same time, the Virgo full moon on the 14th shines a light on your work-life balance. Are you burning yourself out, or are you just bored? Lots to think about this month!
Expect to end March with a cosmic reset, courtesy of the solar eclipse in Aries on the 29th. It’ll give you major clarity on what’s next. On the love front, relationships are under review. If you’re single, you could meet someone unexpectedly while doing literally anything—yes, even laundry. Already partnered? This is the month to have those big talks.
Either way, with all this Aries energy in the air, you’re magnetic AF—so put yourself out there! Keep in mind that Saturn is making things feel harder than usual, but that’s just a test of resilience. You’re learning what truly matters, and by the end of the month, you’ll be grateful for the insights gained through the chaos.
Taurus (april 20 – may 20)
March is a month of deep reflection for you, Taurus. For starters, Venus is retrograde in Aries, encouraging you to rethink your subconscious patterns in love, money, and self-worth. Have you been undervaluing yourself? If so, how can you work to fill your own cup, and build up your self-esteem? Do whatever it is that makes you feel the most alive.
And if you need even more introspection…Mercury is also retrograde this month, asking you to shift your focus inward. Journal, meditate, and pay attention to your dreams—there may be some subconscious whisperings worth tuning into.
The solar eclipse on the 29th pushes for a total reset in your emotional well-being. By the end of March, you’ll have a clearer sense of what you truly value and what (or who) needs to go.
Gemini (may 21 – june 20)
Your social life is under the cosmic microscope this month, Gemini. With Venus and Mercury both retrograding in fiery Aries, friendships, networking, and collaborations are up for review. Are your connections serving you, or draining you? Some friendships may need redefining…
On the 14th, the Virgo full moon shifts your focus to home and family matters—expect clarity in your personal life. If you’ve been feeling a bit “meh” about your relationships, this full moon will quite literally shine a spotlight on what needs fixing ASAP.
As March comes to a close, the solar eclipse on the 29th breathes new life into your social world, bringing new friendship or networking opportunities to the forefront. (Perfect timing if the light of the moon made you realize it was time to cut some people off.) Use your connections wisely this month, in both work and play, and don’t be afraid to reconnect with an old contact who may have valuable insights for you.
Cancer (june 21 – july 22)
March pushes you into the spotlight, Cancer! Venus and Mercury are both retrograde this month, so expect to consider (or perhaps reconsider) your career. Are you truly aligned with your professional goals? If not, it’s time to strategize a shift. At the same time, delays and miscommunications at work are likely, so double-check all your emails and important documents. You’ll want to stay on top of your game toward the end of the month, too—the solar eclipse on the 29th could bring an unexpected career shake-up or opportunity.
Your life outside of work is also up for examination, but don’t stress. On the 14th, the Virgo full moon highlights communication—this is a great time to clear up any misunderstandings and be mindful of how you express yourself.
Love-wise, Mars is energizing your relationships this month. If you’re single, put yourself out there! If you have a boo, expect passionate discussions about the future. With all this Aries energy, remember: Assertiveness is key, but avoid unnecessary power struggles.
Leo (july 23 – august 22)
This is a month of expansion and risk-taking, Leo! Venus and Mercury are moving retrograde in Aries, which will push you to question whether you’re playing it too safe in life. Are you still in the same relationship or job you were five years ago because it’s easier than putting yourself out there? Well, now may be the time to reassess. To paraphrase the Spice Girls, you gotta tell yourself what you want, what you really, really want.
Luckily, the solar eclipse on the 29th encourages you to take a leap, whether that means travel, education, or a bold career move. Perhaps you finally book that trip to Bali you’ve had on your Pinterest board for years? Take calculated risks this month—your next big move could set you up for long-term success!
Virgo (august 23 – september 22)
This is a deeply transformative month, Virgo. The full moon in your sign on the 14th illuminates your personal growth and relationships. Are you feeling like your full self in your partnerships? If not, it’s time to speak up!
And heads up for two big astrological shifts: Venus and Mercury are moving retrograde in Aries. This combined energy of the love and communication planets will encourage you to reevaluate your emotional investments—where are you giving too much and receiving too little?
If you’re single, a magnetic connection could emerge this month, but take things slow. If you’re partnered, deep, vulnerable conversations will strengthen your bond. Either way, trust the process—this month is all about clearing out the old to make way for something better.
Speaking of which… At the end of March, the solar eclipse on the 29th signals a fresh start in finances or personal power. But word to the money-wise: Avoid major investments until Mercury goes direct on April 6. In the meantime, invest in yourself—that’ll always pay off.
Libra (september 23 – october 22)
March puts your relationships on display, Libra. With Venus and Mercury retrograde in Aries, your partnerships—romantic, professional, and personal—are all on your mind. Are you truly happy with the balance in your closest connections? Expect old flames or unresolved relationship issues to resurface this month.
The solar eclipse on the 29th also signals a significant turning point in how you approach love and commitment. If you’re single, someone from your past may reappear, but is it worth reopening that chapter? If you’re coupled up, expect deep conversations about the future. Professionally, collaborations may need restructuring—some partnerships are evolving, while others may no longer serve you. However this shows up for you, avoid impulsive decisions in relationships; take the time to truly understand what you want.
Btw, this month is also about your relationship with yourself. On the 14th, the Virgo full moon encourages you to reflect on self-care—are you giving too much to others and neglecting yourself? If so, it’s time to make some shifts and come back to balance, which is, conveniently, your favorite thing.
By the end of March, you’ll have a clearer vision of who and what belongs in your life. Prioritize harmony, but don’t be afraid to set boundaries where needed.
Scorpio (october 23 – november 21)
March is all about transformation, Scorpio! With Venus, the planet of love, and Mercury, the planet of communication, retrograde in Aries, you are reexamining your daily routines, health, and work-life balance. Have you been overworking yourself? Or maybe scattering your energy in too many directions? Whatever it is, take an honest look at your routines and make adjustments to help you thrive.
When the Virgo full moon arrives on the 14th, it shines a light on friendships. Who’s truly in your corner, and who’s MIA? This is a great time to cut ties with toxic influences and strengthen connections with those who uplift you.

Happy birthday, Pisces! Take the time to enjoy your presents and cake, but you’ve still gotta consider the important stuff as March brings major financial and self-worth shifts.
