March is being hyped as the most intense astrological month of 2025 -- and that it will be. The two planetary retrogrades and two eclipses will be tricky to overcome. Luckily, your trusted advisor is here to give you a glimpse of how to navigate through the cosmic turbulence.
The romantic and financial planet Venus begins retrograde from March 1 to April 12 in the signs of Aries and Pisces. Throughout the journey, we'll discover what we want from relationships and evolve our feelings. Next up, the communication planet Mercury moves into Aries on March 3. Less than two weeks later, on March 15, Mercury begins its moonwalk in Aries, heading back into Pisces until April 7. Mercury retrograde will define our boundaries and teach us how to converse effectively with others. Venus retrograde backsplashes into Pisces on March 27, stirring up old emotions. Mercury retrograde moves into the water sign Pisces on March 29, creating confusion and ambiguity. Since Venus and Mercury's retrograde co-occur, we can expect exes to come back into our lives -- whether or not we want to accept them is the question.

The total lunar eclipse in Virgo occurs on March 14, pushing us to apply pragmatism to our emotions, which will be challenging amidst the retrogrades. The sun moves into Aries on March 20, kicking off the astrological new year and the spring equinox. With the onset of spring, we will start to believe in our thoughts and visions more. The solar eclipse in Aries commences on March 29, allowing us to leave the past behind and start a new chapter.
Finally, the elusive planet Neptune gets fired up in Aries on March 30. This is important because Neptune has been swimming in the tempestuous seas of Pisces for the past 13 years. Since Neptune is waffling back and forth between Aries and Pisces throughout 2025, we'll begin to fight for what we love and take no prisoners regarding matters of the heart.

If you're in a relationship that isn't fulfilling, you should start to determine whether or not you wish to stay. Moving on is the best option, but it's hard to remove yourself once your comforts are set in. Standing strong and releasing who or what is no longer serving your highest potential is beneficial to your well-being. The question is: Are you ready? No matter what you feel now, you'll let go at some point.
