Are you ready for it?

March is bringing pivotal shifts that will challenge everything you thought you knew about yourself — between Venus and Mercury retrograde and the first eclipse season of the year, one thing’s for sure: get ready for transformation!

The month begins by putting a pump on the brakes as Venus officially stations retrograde in Aries. Like with every retrograde, this sparks deep introspection, but in the case of Venus, it’s an opportunity to slow down and reassess everything from our values, finances and relationships to what truly brings us joy.

The next day, Mercury will join Saturn in Pisces, bringing our thoughts, conversations and long-term commitments down to earth — equivalent to a harsh reality check.

The sun in Pisces will clash with Jupiter in Gemini that same day, stirring up tension between our dreams and overpromises.

Fast forward to March 3, when Mercury enters Aries, adding an energizing impulse to our thoughts and communication style. Despite the upbeat confidence and inspiration stemming from Mercury in Aries, this transit can be tricky.

We are collectively prone to letting our passions get the best of us, overreacting and losing our patience in the process.

Mercury will eventually meet with Pluto in Aquarius on March 5, bringing powerful insights and revelations that allow us to dig deep and cut through the surface-level chatter.

By March 11, Mercury will conjunct Venus retrograde in Aries, which could bring back past relationships and some unresolved feelings. 

This is followed by a total lunar eclipse in Virgo on March 14, serving as a cosmic reset and purge, urging us to let go of anything that no longer serves our highest good. This is the first eclipse in this Mutable sign since 2016.

As the month progresses, Mercury stations retrograde in Aries on March 15, sending our thoughts into reverse while encouraging us to slow down and reassess our approach to communication and, more importantly, our independence.

The sun’s close proximity to Neptune shortly after won’t help clarify things, as this otherworldly transit clouds our judgment and blurs the lines between fantasy and reality. However, this doesn’t stop us from springing forward into Aries season on March 20.

A season of fertility and new beginnings, the sun’s journey through Aries will be in full effect and just shy of a Venus retrograde Cazimi on March 23 — topics of love and money reach a turning point.

On March 27, Venus retrograde will re-enter Pisces, bringing back Venusian themes that began toward the end of January when Venus entered its pre-retrograde shadow phase in Pisces. Not to worry — the undercurrents of the transit will become clear once Venus stations direct.

After all, there will be a new moon partial solar eclipse in Aries on March 29, setting the stage for fresh starts, despite Mercury retrograde also reversing back into Pisces, which further deepens our introspection. 

Finally, Neptune’s ingress into Aries on March 30 marks the beginning of a pivotal shift that will influence us all for years to come. Put it this way: the last time Neptune was in Aries was 1861 through 1875.

Also known as the planet of dreams, illusions and spirituality, Neptune has been in Pisces since 2011, pushing us to explore the depths of our subconscious and tap into our intuition.

Now, as Neptune moves into the fiery, independent and action-oriented sign of Aries, we’ll see a dramatic shift in how we approach our dreams, creative visions and spiritual journeys.

Read on for what March has in store for your zodiac sign.
