Greetings:

 

March 2025 is one of the most intense and important months in 2025. In the heat of the eclipse
season and 2 personal planets retrograde (Venus and Mercury), there will be twists of fate, turning
points, beginnings and endings. We are in a time of paradox, sending us back to the past (retrograde
planets) while simultaneously suspending us in what feels like an eternal present that may be
bumpy, awkward and uncomfortable riding rapids with flames bursting out of the water
simultaneously. We are entering a time of epic release as we clear space for bold initiations. With
planets in Pisces (Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Neptune) moving into Aries (Venus, Mercury, Sun and
Neptune). Pisces represents compassion and intuition, while Aries is bravery. We are in territory we
have never traveled before. As Neptune moves into Aries on March 30, we are entering an energy
pattern that we have not lived in since 1875. Neptune is the planet of hopes, dreams and wishes
and during the 14 years she will be in Aries (3/30/25-3/23/39) we are called to unite our dreams
(Pisces) with action (Aries). We will forge a future determined by compassion and
empowerment. The major patterns of March may feel like a square dance of madness as we crack
the cosmic egg.

MARCH BEGINS WITH VENUS RETROGRADE (3/1-4/12) AND MERCURY FOLLOWING:

Venus moves retrograde in warrior goddess, huntress mode as she moves backward into Aries. It is
time to stand up, speak out, and go after what we want. On March 3, Mercury moves into Aries with
feistiness and impatience and determination to go after what we want. Opportunity knocks as
Mercury and Pluto support one another, opening doors and windows which give us courage to move
forward and address our desires. As Venus moves from Aries backward into Pisces (3/1 – 4/12) what
we value will be clear, allowing us to get along with ourselves as well as others. Now that Mars, the
God of War, has moved forward (2/23) our strength and optimism will rise and become more
available when Mars enters fire sign Leo on 4/17. Mercury and Venus join together on 3/11 with a
basket of wisdom if we make time to review our relationships, values and finances.

BLOOD MOON ECLIPSE: FULL MOON IN VIRGO (3/14/25)

The first eclipse of 2025 is a powerful astrological event which will fast-tract our timeline and bring
us closer to closing a chapter in our lives. Eclipses put us where we need to be. The Moon in Virgo
with Jupiter expanding the Sun in Pisces and the Moon in Virgo, points us to healthy routines, clear
boundaries, trusting our intuition and as always ask yourself daily, “do you have any messages for
me”. Thereafter, follow up on what the message desires of you. Eclipse season remains for the next
four weeks while Venus and Mercury are retrograde in the background. Dreams and synchronicities
are amplified, speeding up our development. Since Mercury goes retrograde from 3/13-4/6,
beginning in Aries and moving backward in Pisces on 3/30, expect a challenging and powerful
combination of potential magic energy. As Alan Cohen says: “Act as it you are worthy to have what
you want, and the universe will prove you correct.” Since this is a total eclipse, its impact is
profound – revealing truths and pushing us to let go of outdated habits and patterns.

SUN IN ARIES BRINGS THE EQUINOX AND THE ASTROLOGICAL NEW YEAR: A FIERY NEW
BEGINNING

As the Sun moves into Pisces on 3/19, we can say goodbye to the old astrological year. Hopefully
we have been brought spiritual wisdom, heightened dreams and a deeper intuition as we listen to
our inner world. On 3/20 the Equinox and the Astrological New Year begin bringing us the bold energy
of Aries so we can lift our heaviness, becoming lighter and more optimistic about what lies ahead. It
is time to celebrate all we have been through. It is time to leave the past and cultivate new
beginnings. On 3/22 the Sun and Venus connect in Aries, creating a powerful day which brings clarity
and wisdom. There may be new realizations of how we have been choosing to give and receive love
in our lives. On 3/24 the Sun and Mercury align in a powerful embrace (Cazini) which brings clarity
and wisdom. On 3/26 Venus embraces Neptune before he leaves Pisces for Aries on 3/30. This
pattern brings the opportunity to see love and matters of the heart clearly so we can move forward
with confidence as a softer energy takes us inward.

NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE IN ARIES: MARCH 29, 2025

The New Moon partial solar eclipse arrives on 3/29, encouraging us to set intentions that align with
our deepest passions and ambitions. This New Moon amplifies the dynamic energy which
encourages fresh starts, courageous action and leadership. The time for reflection is moving toward
courage, determination and action are the key themes of the energy of this Mars ruled fire sign.
Since Mercury is retrograde in Pisces, there is an opportunity to get in touch with how we are truly
feeling, as well as to pay attention to the signs and clues the universe is sending out way. Spend time
in reflection reviewing the past and find good ways to channel this powerful energy,

NEPTUNE’S ENTRY INTO ARIES (3/30/25): DREAMS IN MOTION, A NEW ERA OF ACTION

For the first time in 150 years Neptune has moved into Aries (3/30/25-3/23/2039). None of us have
experienced the energy and motivation of this pattern as we experience a major shift in our collective
consciousness. With watery Neptune occupying fiery Aries we are called to unite our dreams
(Neptune) with action (Aries), forging a future determined by compassion and empowerment. In
2023 and 2024, Pluto moved between Capricorn and Aquarius for the first time in our lives, moving
finally into Aquarius on 11/19/24. Expect unexpected circumstances and changes in
consciousness for the next 15 years. When an outer planet like Neptune or Pluto moves slowly
from one sign to another where we land at the end of the cycle bears little resemblance to the
beginning of the cycle. As Neptune absorbs the energy of Aries, we are connected to spirit. The fire
rising within us is our navigational tool. We are at a turning point. The passive dreaming of Pisces
gives way to Aries’s courage. The world is shaped by how we show up to meet this moment,
beginning inside our own hearts.

WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE MOVEMENT OF THE PLANETS:

I began my study of astrology in 1968, when astrologers were on the cusp of understanding the
science of astrology. When I was introduced to the fact that when we draw our first breath after being
in the womb, a mandala of planet activity is moved to the limbic system of our brains. It is part of us
whether we know it or not. To understand astrology and its powerful timelines it is necessary to begin
with a natal (birth) chart which will not reappear for thousands of years. The planets keep moving
forward after we are born, and they intertwine with our birth chart, increasing our growth
possibilities. The transits of the planets annually activate our growth and development.
Every year it is a good time to look at a progressive chart so you can add this pattern to the first
two, natal and transits. Astrological time patterns allow us to make good choices and avoid some
of the experiences we don’t desire or need. Because we are in the timeline of unlimited growth, I
recommend you have an astrological update, so you are aware of the possibilities of growth
and harmony. I am available to help you in learning how astrology can make your life more
peaceful. March is the most disruptive month of 2025, so if you can make an appointment with me,
I am available in person and virtually and will continue to offer Saturday hours through March.

WISHING YOU SUCCESS, OPTIMISM, HOPE AND JOY,

NAN
