Here’s all the astrology you need to know in your March 2025 horoscope. Guidance for your life, love and career, from The AstroTwins.
Retrograde in, retrograde out? The first quarter of 2025 feels like a revolving door of cosmic backspins, and it’s got us all feeling dizzy. Just as we relaxed into the relief of intense Mars turning direct (forward) on February 23, March comes in like a testy lion, serving up two new inner-planet retrogrades and a pair of reality-rocking eclipses.
The first retrograde is harmonizer Venus, which will backspin from March 1 to April 12. A couple weeks later, communication planet Mercury joins the retrograde brigade, about-facing until April 7. Both planets will split their OOO flips between Aries and Pisces. People could go from overly aggressive to stunningly passive (more like evasive) in the coming weeks.
Midmonth also ushers in the first eclipse, a total lunar (full moon) edition in Virgo. This is the first Virgo eclipse in a new series that began in September 2024, and will ripple across the Virgo/Pisces axis between now and fall 2026. Then, on March 29, the Aries new supermoon arrives as a partial solar eclipse, wrapping up a two-year eclipse series on the Aries/Libra axis, which amplified themes of war and peace. (We won’t miss those eclipses around here.)
Amidst all the planets going backward, there’s ONE thing that’s moving in the other direction—and that’s your clock. Remember to “spring forward” on March 9 and advance your clock one hour if you live in a daylight savings time zone. (For casting astrology charts, this is especially pertinent!)
