March 2025 Overview
I don’t know about you, but it’s been tough for me to access the solid core of posi-vibe optimism that’s buried somewhere within me, under miles and miles of ice. In fact, the part of me that can muster up any positivity at all has often seemed totally impenetrable.
We must admit that this year is off to a ~slightly~ tumultuous start. While it’s been hard to tap into the PMA, I think it’ll be a little easier to find this month, as winter begins to (hopefully) thaw, and hibernation season comes to a close.
This March, tapping into a sense of wonder and letting the imagination run wild is heavily encouraged. Pisces season is always the best time to dream big because this is the era of the zodiac that thins the veil between our dreams and reality. For a brief window, seemingly impossible feats aren’t so unattainable. Now, we are capable of accessing a part of ourselves that usually lies dormant, operating in the background and in slumber. Things get a little softer at the edges.
Pisces is ruled by Neptune, which is associated with dreams, intuition, and spirituality, and is the final sign of the zodiac. Pisces has a reputation for being tenderhearted which, imo, leads to the sign being incorrectly depicted as overly emotional. Rather than reading Pisces as crybaby-ish, I see the sign as perceptive and incredibly empathetic (although maybe this is because I am a Pisces moon). Regardless, I think the keyword is sensitive, as Pisces easily picks up on others’ emotions, and brings imaginative and creative ideas to the table. Throughout Pisces season, it’s easier to tap into and understand the feelings and intentions of others.
I like to think of March as the final push of winter, inviting reflection, healing, and the surrender that comes before new beginnings. Can you tell I’ve just finished reading Katherine May’s book, Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times?
This month’s energy is fluid, intuitive, and deeply emotional, which is perfect for the release that’s required with endings. Letting go of what no longer serves you is essential before moving on. Spend the month envisioning what could be, and release the things you don’t wish to carry with you into the next phase of your life.
Speaking of the next phase, this month’s New Moon is in Virgo on the 14th and is also a Total Lunar Eclipse near the South Node. This encourages action and dedication–you can bring your dreams to life by making small adjustments.
This year, Pisces season brings extra magic. The Full Moon in Aries coincides with a Solar Eclipse near the North Node, as well as a big Neptune transit that wraps up a 165-year cycle. Never is there a better time to embrace change and welcome endings. Rebirth and innovative repairs are inevitable. You could feel more sensitive than usual, so stay open to inspiration, but be sure to protect your energy and set clear boundaries. Dreaming is the first step to manifesting.
Bonds will be deepened this month. Whether you are partnered or not, vulnerability and empathy will bring you closer to people you connect with on a soul level. You’re more likely to make new connections that feel fated or synchronistic.
In work, try tapping into intuition and trust that your ideas have incredible value. You don’t have to be driven by logic or make it make sense right now. You may feel like you’re on the precipice of a creative breakthrough–and you are! As long as you can go with the flow and quiet the “monkey mind,” that’s restless and analytical. Let ambiguity exist. Not to be a Regina George, but stop trying to make logic happen!!!

BIRTHDAY ROYALTY <3 Pisces (February 19 – March 20):
It’s your time to shine, baby, and the universe is shining a beam on your dreams and desires–you can’t push it down or quiet it any longer. The time is now! With the Sun illuminating your sign, you radiate and glow, and your intuitive abilities are peaking. This is your superpower—trust your gut feelings; they’re leading you somewhere magical. The upcoming Lunar Eclipse in Virgo shines a light on your closest relationships—who’s truly supporting your growth? Release connections that drain you and watch how quickly the universe fills the space with something (or someone) better. Cut them off! Mercury and Neptune’s influence could blur the lines between fantasy and reality, but that’s where you thrive. Just remember: boundaries are love, too. Dream boldly, but ground your visions—big things are coming and anything is possible.
Tarotscopes | The Sun: After a dark night of the soul, you feel restored and ready to find new inspiration.

NOW FOR THE REST OF YOU...
Aries (March 21 – April 19):
Something big is cooking for you this month, with Venus and Mercury both retrograding in your sign this month. This month is a moment to pause. Take this time to reassess what (and who) truly fires you up. Slow down—like, actually, for real. It’s not “serenity now, insanity later.” It’s more like reflecting now lets you take sharper action later. You have the green light for fresh starts, bold moves, and unapologetic self-expression. But before you charge ahead, you’ll have to clear the clutter—emotionally and mentally. Your next chapter deserves an open path.
Tarotscopes | 4 of Cups: Say no more often. Give yourself space for reflection.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20):
You are in your feelings this month, my dude. Take the month to focus inward, recharge, and reflect. With Venus retrograde stirring up your subconscious self, old patterns around love and self-worth are likely to resurface—don’t shy away. This is your chance to truly heal and release it. Mid-month, you’ll be reminded that finding pleasure and taking the time to play is essential, and not indulgent. When Aries season kicks in, your energy will rise, so use this downtime wisely. You’re building momentum for something worth waiting for.
Tarotscopes | 8 of Wands: Any prison you inhabit is one created by none other than yourself.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20):
This month you are being pushed to get clear on your long-term goals. What is that you truly desire? But with Mercury—your ruler—going retrograde later this month, you’ll need to rethink your game plan before charging ahead. Are your ambitions still aligned with who you’re becoming? The lunar eclipse in Virgo could bring up issues at home—reflect before reacting. For you, connections are key, but you do not have to say yes to everything. Choose quality over quantity.
Tarotscopes | The Hierophant: Are your wants aligned with your needs? Sometimes wants are needs.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22):
You are looking for expansion, honeyyyy–whether through travel, learning, or simply dreaming bigger. You’re being pushed out of your comfort zone, but with Venus and Mercury both retrograde in your career zone, timing is everything. Reassess your professional path: are you building something that truly feeds your soul? Towards the end of the month, you’ll be called on to speak your truth, but be sure to choose your words with care. Trust that clarity is coming.
Tarotscopes | Ace of Cups: You’re seeking an open heart. Look no further. Only yours can fulfill you.
Leo (July 23 – August 22):
This month is making way for a major transformation, and now is the time to let go of whatever weighs you down. Trust that anything you release now will clear space for major growth. With Venus and Mercury retrograde activating your expansion zone, you might be rethinking big plans about where you’re going: travel, studies, or spiritual pursuits. What really excites you? Later in the month, money and worth are highlighted–know when to settle, and more importantly, when to not settle.
Tarotscopes | 2 of Wands: Survey all the possibilities with an open mind.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22):
It’s all about relationships this month, Virgo, as the sun is spotlighting your closest connections—romantic, business, or otherwise. With Venus and Mercury retrograde stirring deep emotional waters, old habits and dynamics could resurface. Don’t turn a blind eye–this is your chance to let it go and begin again. This month, you are being asked to shed outdated identities and step into a version of yourself that feels true now. You’ve been working hard behind the scenes; soon, it’ll show. For now, know that your glow-up is happening from the inside out.
Tarotscopes | 7 of Wands: If you’re working hard on yourself and nobody’s noticing, don’t worry. They will notice when it’s time.
Libra (September 23 – October 22):
You are deep in your daily grind, but don’t let the to-do list run your life. With Venus and Mercury both retrograde in your relationship zone, past connections—or old patterns—will surely resurface. Take this as an opportunity to consider what balance really looks like for you. You are being urged to rest, reset, and release anything that drains your energy. Prioritize your well-being now, because Aries season is sneaking up quickly, bringing major relationship shifts and bold new beginnings. For now, slow down, tune in, and trust that clarity is on its way.
Tarotscopes | The Emperor: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21):
You are invited to dream and play this month, as your creative and romantic side are activated. Focus on and prioritize what feels good. But balance is key, with both Venus and Mercury retrograde activating the part of your chart that rules work and wellness. Don’t let yourself get burnt out. The lunar eclipse in Virgo highlights your friendships and future goals: who’s really aligned with where you’re headed? Let go of connections that no longer vibe with who you’re becoming.
Tarotscopes | 7 of Cups: You can make anything happen, but you’ll make nothing happen if you can’t find balance.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21):
It’s time to be ultra cozyyyy this month as home and heart take center stage for you. You are in your feelings—maybe nostalgic, maybe restless—but either way, it’s a call to ground yourself before stepping into your next big adventure. Venus and Mercury retrograde are activating the part of your chart that rules romance and creativity, encouraging you to reassess what (and who) truly lights you up. The lunar eclipse in Virgo brings career revelations: are you even climbing the right ladder, bro? You know the way–let your intuition guide you. Soon, you’ll feel revived, reignited, and re-inspired. For now, focus on nurturing yourself. Perhaps it’s time to dig out your old journals.
Tarotscopes | Queen of Cups: Treat yourself the way you wish you’d been treated as a child.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19):
This month, you’re being pushed to temper your disciplined drive with a bit of intuitive insight. This is an invitation to reexamine your daily habits and routines. It doesn’t have to be boring to be productive. With Venus and Mercury retrograde hitting your career sector, some of those old, familiar patterns may resurface. Are your ambitions outdated? There is a delicate balance between ambition and well-being, and you’re being urged to realign your professional path with your passions.
Tarotscopes | The Empress: Taking care of yourself will reawaken your ambition.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18):
You’re no stranger to bucking against convention, and this month you’re especially inspired to strike out on your own path. Your social sphere is activated this month, and with Mercury and Venus both retrograde, unexpected encounters and past conversations could resurface to challenge your innovative ideas. Approach your routines and habits with practicality–there can be magic in the mundane if you can narrow the gap between your idealism and what’s real. The old and new are working together right now–trust that breakthroughs are coming, as long as you take the time to hear your inner guidance.
Tarotscopes | The High Priestess: You’re used to seeing what isn’t there, to finding what can’t be seen.
