Astrology is a tool of time and space. As the Solar System runs through its cycles, astrologers follow the patterns the same way a meteorologist follows the weather. Each month points in the sky form important relationships, which we call aspects, that indicate emerging, changing, and enduring patterns.
This blog will look at the month ahead and discuss the most prominent aspects, and how they impact us. These astrological “weather” events can help you navigate each month successfully.
What is Ongoing? Transits, Ingresses, and Retrogrades
Transits
Transits occur when two Points form a certain type of angular relationship with one another. The most powerful among the transits are the conjunction, square, and opposition. Points that conjunct merge together by sharing the same sign and degree. Points that square align by the degree in signs that are 90 degrees (or four signs) apart. Take the sequence Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn – Libra and Capricorn are four signs apart and square one another. Points oppose one another when they are 180 degrees apart.
Conjunct Points merge energy. Points in sextile compliment each other. Points squaring challenge one another. Points trining collaborate. And Points opposing one another try to harmonize and attain balance.
Ingress
Ingress occurs when a Point changes signs, causing the Point to change its tone. If a Point is in Aries, the tone is active, aggressive, and ready for action. But when the Point ingresses into Taurus, the tone becomes slow, steady, and settling.
Retrograde
The term retrograde describes forward motion that “appears” as backward motion. Astrology views the Solar System from an earth-centric rather than sun-centric point of reference. As a result, there are times of the year when points in the sky “look” like they are going backwards. Retrograde motion occurs when a faster-moving body passes a slower-moving body. Therefore, the observer on the faster-moving body watches the slower-moving body “go backwards” as they pass each other.
The Sun changes signs on March 20th. As the Sun transitions from Pisces to Aries, we move from Pisces’ intuitive, empathetic energy to Aries’ bold, dynamic drive. Pisces encourages deep emotional connection, spiritual reflection, and creative expression, helping us dream and heal. With the Sun in Aries, the focus shifts to action, independence, and new beginnings. This transition marks a time to awaken from introspection, ignite fresh motivation, and take decisive steps toward personal goals. Strive to carry Pisces’ emotional wisdom into Aries’ courageous spirit, allowing you to move forward with both heart and determination.

Mercury
Mercury will ingress from Pisces to Aries on March 3rd. As Mercury moves from Pisces to Aries, our thinking shifts from intuitive, reflective, and imaginative to direct, fast-paced, and action-oriented. In Pisces, Mercury encourages deep introspection, creative inspiration, and empathetic communication. However, as it enters Aries, the focus turns to assertiveness, quick decision-making, and bold expression. This transition sparks mental clarity and the drive to turn ideas into action. Embrace Aries’ decisive energy while carrying forward Pisces’ depth, allowing you to communicate with both passion and purpose.
Mercury will also retrograde this month on March 16th, then works it way back into Pisces on March 29th. As Mercury retrogrades from Aries back into Pisces, our thinking shifts from bold, direct expression to a more intuitive, reflective, and imaginative approach. In Aries, Mercury drives quick decision-making, assertive communication, and action-oriented thinking. However, as it returns to Pisces, the emphasis softens, encouraging deep introspection, creative inspiration, and emotional awareness. This reversal invites us to slow down, reassess our choices, and reconnect with our inner wisdom. Use this period to refine ideas and embrace a more fluid, intuitive way of thinking before Mercury moves forward again.
Venus
Venus begins March in Aries but goes retrograde on March 2nd. It then ingresses back into Pisces on March 27th. As Venus retrogrades from Aries back into Pisces, the energy shifts from bold, passionate pursuit to deep emotional connection and compassionate love. In Aries, Venus inspires fiery enthusiasm, assertiveness, and a desire for excitement in relationships. However, as it returns to Pisces, the focus softens, encouraging introspection, tenderness, and spiritual connection in matters of the heart. This reversal invites you to reassess desires, heal past wounds, and reconnect with love on a more intuitive, soulful level. Embrace this period as a time for reflection, forgiveness, and deepening emotional bonds before Venus moves forward again.
Retrogrades
Mercury
Mercury‘s first retrograde of 2025 begins on March 16th in Aries, disrupting direct, bold communication and quick decision-making. Expect misunderstandings, impulsive words, and delays in plans. As Mercury retrogrades into Pisces on March 29th, communication turns inward, becoming more intuitive yet prone to confusion and nostalgia. This period calls for patience, reflection, and clarity before speaking. Use this time to review ideas, reconnect with past inspirations, and embrace a more thoughtful, compassionate way of expressing yourself.
Venurs
Venus retrogrades on March 2nd in Aries, stirring tension in relationships by challenging independence, passion, and personal desires. Impulsive love dynamics may require reassessment. As Venus moves back into Pisces on March 27th, the focus shifts to emotional depth, nostalgia, and unresolved feelings. Old romantic patterns may resurface, urging closure or healing. This period invites reflection on love, values, and self-worth, encouraging patience, compassion, and a renewed connection to heartfelt, soulful relationships.
