Weekly Astrology Forecast — March 3, 2025

Right here is the Ask the Astrologers Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of March 3, 2025 – March 9, 2025:

We begin this week with Mercury leaving Pisces behind and transferring into Aries on Monday. Mercury in Aries is a quick-thinking, considerably impatient archetype, that desires to get to the purpose and say what’s on its thoughts. It doesn’t need to beat across the bush and has little endurance for individuals who do. It invitations you to place your self on the market and to specific your self boldly and succinctly.

Though Aries is the esoteric ruler for Mercury, it may be a bit problematic — particularly within the earliest levels. It could point out impatience and aggressive speech, in addition to a bent to leap to conclusions. It’s higher at speaking than listening and isn’t so good at tact or diplomacy, so maintain that in thoughts in your interactions with others.

This could possibly be extra pronounced with Venus, Chiron and the North Node additionally in Aries, however by Tuesday the Moon could have moved into Taurus, serving to to stability out a few of that fiery Aries vitality. The Moon is exalted in Taurus and pretty quiet on today. It makes two good elements to different planets: a sextile to the Solar in Pisces and one other sextile to Mars in Most cancers.

This could possibly be a day simply kicking your footwear off and enjoyable at house or simply laying low at work. The Moon in Taurus is an earthy, sensuous and calm signature that may be slow-moving and considerably languorous. It desires to cease and odor the flowers and recognize the refined moments. It prefers to savor significant experiences, very like somebody would savor a meal or a bottle of high-quality wine.

That Taurus Moon joins up with Uranus within the early hours of Wednesday, simply as Mercury sextiles Pluto. The Moon / Uranus conjunction accommodates a considerably rebellious or non-conformist aptitude. And that may be an excellent factor, because the Taurus Moon can generally want a little bit of a kick. And it ought to work nicely with the Mercury / Pluto sextile, as these are each in ahead-moving, energetic, progressive indicators.

The Mercury / Pluto side is nice for placing your head along with like-minded individuals and having some vigorous — albeit probably heated — conversations. This side is all about deep ideas and penetrating insights. However you don’t need to maintain these to your self. The sextile speaks of becoming a member of arms with others, and sharing info that causes you to cease and suppose.

By noon the Moon could have moved into Gemini, and on Thursday it sextiles Venus and conjuncts Jupiter — two extra very nice elements. That is additionally a primary quarter moon which is at all times a waxing Moon involving a sq. to the Solar. The primary quarter moon is tied to house, household, safety, feelings and desires (amongst different issues). However it’s an action-oriented Moon because it’s rising in dimension — or including some bulk — from our perspective and thus eager to make its presence recognized.

As a result of it’s a Gemini, that is finest accomplished in a spontaneous, curious, playful method. And the way higher to perform that than so as to add in Venus and Jupiter — often known as the lesser and larger benefics, respectively — that are each up for an excellent time at a second’s discover. It might be the time to slide these footwear again on and take them out dancing.

Do not forget that Venus is now retrograde, the one planet to at the moment maintain that distinction. It’s additionally debilitated by signal (because it’s positioned in Aries, the signal reverse its pure ruler — Libra), and by Friday it joins up with a number of different planets — the Solar, Pluto, Uranus, Saturn and Mercury — to shine a highlight on Neptune, because it prepares to depart Pisces.

Neptune has been in Pisces — the signal it guidelines — since 2011. Due to its distance from the Solar — about 2.8 billion miles away! — It takes a really very long time to make its means across the Solar one time, which is why it spends a lot time in every signal. What’s important now, is that it’s now on the last diploma of Pisces — 29° — which is named a important diploma. It’s additionally on the midpoint of a number of different planetary pairs, making Neptune in all probability essentially the most important planet presently.

The twenty ninth diploma of any planet, referred to as an anaretic diploma, is claimed to be fateful. There are robust indications of needing to complete one thing off, tie up unfastened ends, and create closure in areas that should be put to relaxation. Whether or not this implies relationships, materials possessions, unhealthy ideas and actions, or simply outdated perception methods, it’s essential to make use of this time — from now till Neptune leaves Pisces on the finish of this month — to take some form of stock and see what must be launched.

The Solar trines Mars on Saturday. That is typically a dynamic and highly effective transit, because it includes two naturally energetic planets — the Solar and Mars — in a harmonious 120° side. On this case although, with each planets in water indicators, a few of the fiery initiative related to them could also be a bit extra subdued.

Even so, the Solar trine Mars side is nice for placing your plans into motion. It’s all about discovering your stride and making issues occur. It’s confident and assured and will be good for manifesting your objectives. It tells you that no matter you need to attain is totally inside your attain and that now could be the time to go for it.

By this time the Moon can be in Most cancers and by Sunday it’s conjuncting Mars. Whereas the Moon is blissful in Most cancers — the signal that it guidelines, Mars isn’t. That’s as a result of Mars is in detriment in Most cancers, the signal reverse it’s exaltation (Capricorn). With a planet that pertains to impatience, anger, aggression and self assertion (Mars) lined up with a planet related to sensitivity, emotions and emotional reactions (the Moon) individuals are sure to get testy.

This could not be the time to confront a companion or to overwhelm one other with emotional outbursts. As this can be a extremely delicate placement that may amplify emotions and feelings, it’s in all probability finest to keep away from pouring your coronary heart out throughout this time. A greater use for this side may be to write down down what you’re feeling (journaling) or watch one thing heartfelt and stirring on the tube. As lunar transits are fleeting, this one could have handed by earlier than you already know it and also you gained’t should cope with being regretful or embarrassed in a while.

That’s it for this week. See you subsequent week!
