Weekly Astrology Forecast — March 10, 2025

Right here is the Ask the Astrologers Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of March 10, 2025 – March 16, 2025: 

It’s going to be one other busy week for us, with a decent lineup of planets in Pisces and Aries, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo, and a planet (Mercury) altering instructions. 

All of it begins on Monday, with the Moon in Leo — in opposition to Pluto — for the higher a part of the morning. That is typically a really dynamic lunar placement, as Leo is the signal related to heat, generosity, vitality and private charisma, the emphasis is on reveling within the second, embracing life to the fullest, and setting your worries apart lengthy sufficient to bask within the gentle of the day.

However the opposition to Pluto can point out conflicts and energy struggles, amongst different issues. Particularly since that very same Leo Moon will be self-important and forceful when challenged. For those who’re sensing pressure from others throughout this time, your greatest guess is to disengage — a minimum of till later within the day when the Moon varieties way more nice points to Mercury and Venus. Mercury conjuncts Venus on Tuesday, with Mercury shifting ahead and Venus shifting backwards (in retrograde movement) till they meet up at 8° Aries. This may occur once more — albeit in reverse — in early April, when a retrograde Mercury catches up with retrograde Venus in late Pisces.

Venus is in detriment in Aries — the signal of its fall — whereas Mercury is its esoteric ruler. Collectively they focus this power towards relationship points. They add a layer of ardour and depth to interpersonal communications, and might even see you revealing extra about your self (and your emotions and intentions) than you’d deliberate.

A Mercury / Venus conjunction will be fairly nice. It’s nice for lighthearted chatter amongst buddies or playful flirtation between love pursuits. As a result of Mercury guidelines communications and Venus is retrograde, this transit can point out a voice from the previous reaching out to the touch base, or it will probably compel you to reconnect with somebody who’s recently been in your thoughts.

The Solar conjuncts Saturn on Wednesday, bringing with it the construction and self-discipline which can be mandatory for formulating long-term objectives. The Solar and Saturn are the pure rulers of opposing indicators (with the Solar ruling Leo and Saturn ruling Aquarius), which could trigger you to imagine that they don’t work properly collectively. However they do work very properly as a workforce in sure areas.

They’re each pushed, formidable and motivated to make issues occur, particularly on the subject of areas like fame and public standing. For those who’re planning for the longer term — whether or not which means your relationship, profession or monetary objectives, and so on. — now’s the time to do it. The Saturn / Solar conjunction is great for doing the work that’s mandatory to boost your non secular vibration, because it takes place within the signal related to empathy, compassion, instinct and non secular progress (Pisces).

At this level the Moon is in Virgo, in Gibbous section, and forming inconjuncts to each Mercury and Venus on Thursday. It’s additionally waxing — rising bigger — in anticipation of the Full Moon lunar eclipse that can happen on Friday. Gibbous is the final section earlier than the Moon turns into full, and is related to evaluation, precision and discernment. This section is definitely very suitable with the Virgo archetype, in that they’re each in search of methods to enhance, refine and excellent.

The inconjuncts to Venus and Mercury can describe a must treatment imbalances between a want for lighthearted or flirty banter (Venus / Mercury) and the necessity to choose aside each phrase that’s spoken (Moon in Virgo). As with all inconjuncts, the bottom line is discovering a technique to resolve these inside conflicts, which typically includes discovering a contented medium between two competing wishes. As a result of lunar transits are all the time fleeting, this one will seemingly resolve by itself in only a few hours.

Within the wee hours of Friday right here within the US (or late Thursday in some components of the nation and in Western areas of the world) we’ll have a Full Moon whole lunar eclipse. It reaches totality at 6:43 am (UT) at 23° Virgo 55′.

The March Full Moon is named the Full Crow Moon in Native American traditions. It’s often known as the Full Worm Moon, Full Sap Moon and Full Sugar Moon, amongst others. As a result of the Moon is prone to have a reddish solid through the eclipse, this 12 months it’s additionally being known as the Full Blood Moon.

As Full Moons are stated to shine a highlight on areas in your chart which can be affected (by home place and contacts to different planets) you may look to your individual natal chart to see the place this can play out for you. On the whole although, the Full Moon is all about gaining perspective and addressing your individual function in no matter your life circumstances is perhaps. There’s no room for blaming or rationalizing something right here. It’s necessary to take possession of what’s not proper in your world, in addition to what’s.

The Virgo Full Moon describes a must look extra carefully on the methods wherein we’ve been of service to others. In what methods are we striving to make the world a greater place, via the mixture of self-sacrifice and self-improvement? That is the essence of the Pisces / Virgo polarity, which illustrates the variations between phantasm and reality. It’s about discovering that center floor between what we so desperately need to imagine in (Pisces) and what has confirmed itself to be actual (Virgo).

As a result of it’s an eclipse, it will probably act as a strong conduit for change. Eclipses deliver a better consciousness to no matter is now not working for you to be able to launch or remodel it. It brings to gentle that which has been suppressed or hidden — even from your self — together with the inducement to make modifications.

Mercury goes stationary retrograde on Saturday, because it does just a few instances yearly. This time it occurs at 9° Aries 34′ whereas nonetheless in very shut conjunction to Venus (which can also be at the moment retrograde). As all the time we need to be able to roll with the punches so far as planning and creating expectations.

When Mercury goes retrograde, Mercury-ruled issues naturally begin to go slightly haywire. Communications are inclined to run amok, plans get turned on their head, communications units (computer systems, electronics, cell-phones, and so on.) and written communications (emails, texts, letters, and so on.) get misplaced or misconstrued. It’s not a very good time to signal contracts or authorized paperwork and never a very good time to buy Mercury-ruled gadgets (cars, televisions, computer systems and so forth). It is going to stay retrograde for the subsequent 3+ weeks, when it should change route once more — this time turning again ahead — at 26° Pisces 50 (on April seventh).

Because the weekend involves an finish — on Sunday — we’re greeted by a Libra moon making one side, (a sq. to Mars) earlier than it goes void in fact for the rest of the day. Moon / Mars points are typically temperamental and reactionary. They are often irritable, irrational and defensive.They’re additionally recognized for inflicting individuals to make mountains out of molehills or soar to conclusions. Due to this, it’s not the time to push anybody’s buttons or permit your individual to be pushed. Particularly proper now with Mars in Most cancers, arguably probably the most temperamental Mars placement of all.

Fortuitously, lunar transits are fleeting, and this mixture is prone to produce solely short-lived results. Because the Moon is concerned, we will count on to see emotional and psychological results reasonably than materials or exterior ones. And since it’s in Libra, which is thought for being diplomatic and conciliatory, any disagreements can hopefully be put to relaxation earlier than the moon goes void.
