2025 March Equinox
March 20, 2025 — June 21, 2025

The Equinox of Spring (Fall for Southern Hemisphere) begins as the Sun transits directly over the Equator heading north. Today, the Sun is moving into the sign of Aries with hopes that warmer days are on the way for the northern portion of the world. The Aries energy starts the season that carries us through to the Solstice in June. For this Equinox, the Sun, Venus and Mercury are all closely aligned, however, Mercury and Venus are both transiting retrograde motion, so we are not likely to receive the same benefits of these planets in direct (forward) motion. The retrograde traits are likely to cause frustration for us this season. This is especially true as the equinox falls in between the Lunar and Solar Eclipses. Finding solutions will involve harder work and more diligence. Thinking ahead, being more organized that usual, planning with several options for setbacks, will be necessary to move ahead over the next three months.

Emotionally, with the Moon in Sagittarius, we may find more solutions by reading and studying about our specific circumstances. The Moon is trine to Mercury and Venus, which should help us to think outside the box, although our patience may not be a strong suit this time. Our urge to find solutions because of the frustrations is what begins to work for us. We are less likely to simply give up or give in to the frustrations. The Moon in Sagittarius will give us a different type of strength than many of us are accustomed. Learning new coping skills will be important over the next few months.

Mars in Cancer helps to tie Saturn in Pisces over to Uranus in Taurus. This will give us a different form of energy and perseverance. This is not the type of “all ways pushing forward” type of influence, but more of an ability to adjust as needed without losing our momentum. It can feel awkward at times, simply because these three planets do not always work well together. But, as a collective, they can balance and smooth out the rough patches by allowing us to rely on newly found resources, both internal and external.

Neptune in Pisces is moving direct and is back into the Anaretic degree. Our dreams, vision, beliefs, and basically, all things spiritual, are likely to feel more frantic and urgent in nature. One of the best ways to deal with these feelings is to journal them. Now may not be the best time to act on any of these feelings, as there is likely to be a form of miscommunication, or that we are missing the bigger picture until all the pieces of the messages are in place. Neptune moves into Aries in a few more days.

Pluto in Aquarius is sextile to the Aries stellium. This also may present some unresolved mysteries that we may simply need to fumble through until more clarity is found. We are, most likely, going to need to let some frustrations take a back seat, or as some say, forgive and let go, in order to move forward.

Overall, we are in a bit of a personal think tank. There will be a lot to contemplate in order to realign and regroup this season. Search out the issues that bring the most meaning for us, personally, and we are likely to be richly rewarded by the time the Summer Solstice arrives.
