More March Astrology – Eclipses in March 2025

We are just at the beginning of March and the acceleration with all the changes is enough to make everyone dizzy. This is going to be one of the most powerful months this year and for most of us … it will be unsettling. Upheaval is everywhere and we are going to be tested to see what we can handle.

We think our reality is being shattered now but just wait. These eclipses pack a punch, and we are all in for the ride of our lives. It can feel as if we have moments when emotions are off the Richter scale and then those that seem to be shockingly passive.

We encounter the first Total Lunar Eclipse in the middle of the month (March 14^th). It is in Virgo, and it is the second eclipse in this new pattern unfolding between the Pisces/Virgo axis. This pattern will continue to challenge us through the Fall of 2026. It is time to take charge of your own health and energy. Virgo is all about the body and with this moment, the habits that you were using to placate and stuff what you are feeling have become a burden that now, you just don’t want or need to carry any more … including that extra weight. If we do not pay attention now, the consequences are going to be shocking and for some dire. That is because the health care systems are being attacked and are in distress. Everyone would be wise to do what they need to do and not depend so much on the systems to fix the problems that we have caused.
We are in a month when much will be revealed, and the shadow intends to threaten everything that used to be familiar and a staple. It is time to get our act in gear. The main thing is to keep all choices simple and to recognize that less is more.

The Mercury retrograde on March 15^th is a doozy and expect our plans to cause much upset and conversations. That is because this retrograde is in Aries and it moves from a hot and bothered place when plans go awry. Best to keep your own counsel and do not pick any fights during this cycle. Aggressive tendencies are too close to the surface, and we need to have patience if our boat is to make its way through this storm.

In between these two powerful eclipses is the Black Moon – Lilith shifting us out of Libra (who wants balance) and into the protector of the scorned … Scorpio. It will be there until December 20^th of 2025 and the next nine months are going to shine a bright light on our dysfunctions around sexuality and intimacy. Rage will come out around things that will be restrictive and right now there is a lot of places that that rage can be directed.

Then on March 29^th there is a partial solar eclipse and an Aries Super Moon. This may feel like pouring cognac on a roaring fire. The fury and fire of this solar eclipse is even more important because of the retrograde Mercury and Venus. We may feel as if we are on a trapeze in a circus and we are being asked to do some crazy … incredible … and unpracticed maneuver without a net. The old self is over. The new self must now emerge.
The best way to embrace the impact of this eclipse over the next six months is to move your passions in some tangible direction. We have to find a way to harness the power and pattern we are currently in so that we can make this moment one to remember and a moment that we are proud of who we are becoming.

On March 30^th, Neptune will move out of Pisces and into Aries. But this moment is just a tasting and a testing of what is yet to come. It will last only till October 22^nd, and then it will return January 26^th, 2026, until March 23^rd, 2039. Yes we are in for the long haul.
I like to look at when was the last time in history that this Neptune was in Aries. It was from 1862-1875. It expanded the industrialized world and caused the Civil War.
While Neptune prefers a more compassionate approach, Aries wants to fight. We are going to have to find the inner fortitude to be able to navigate this moment in time and to figure out how to thrive.
