It feels as though we have entered 2025 with relentless intensity—political unrest, economic tensions and climate disasters. The world feels increasingly reactive, and March only amplifies this energy. Aries, ruled by Mars, the planet of war and action, takes over the month in a way that suggests major changes are on the way. Aries demands movement, and, whether we like it or not, things are about to accelerate.
In Greek mythology, Aries is linked to the story of the Golden Ram, sent by the gods to rescue Phrixus and Helle from their wicked stepmother. The ram carried Phrixus to safety and was later sacrificed to the gods in gratitude. Its golden fleece became a prize sought after by heroes like Jason and the Argonauts. The myth speaks to Aries’ themes of bravery, urgency and divine intervention. Aries acts instinctively in moments of crisis. It charges forward instinctively into the unknown.
On Mar. 2, Venus stations retrograde in Aries, shaking up our relationships, finances and values. Expect impulsive financial decisions and possible resurfacing of old relationship wounds.
Retrogrades encourage reflection rather than reaction. Staying grounded amidst the chaos will be crucial for us all. Globally, Venus rules economies, and in Aries, we may see erratic financial decisions or trade tensions escalating.
Mid-month, eclipse season (Mar. 14-29) arrives, closing a cycle that began in 2023 while launching a new one that will unfold until 2027. Eclipses accelerate necessary changes—relationships may end, career shifts occur, and major life decisions arise.
The key to any eclipse season is surrender. Whatever is not working is not meant for you, so let it go. On a global scale, this season will close out old stories while opening new ones, with world leaders likely making bold, unexpected moves.
And if that were not enough, Mercury retrograde in Aries also begins on Mar. 15. Expect miscommunications, impulsive decisions, and heated conflicts to arise, especially in areas where we feel unheard. On an international scale, diplomatic tensions could escalate, with the potential for policy frustrations and miscommunications. Moving forward with patience and clarity will be essential.
To close the month, Neptune enters Aries for the first time in over 150 years, beginning a 15-year cycle. Historically, this transit has aligned with war, revolution, and ideological shifts, including the American Civil War, European unifications and the Protestant Reformation. Over the next decade, expect the rise of powerful political and social movements and likely a lot of upheaval.
March is a month of reckoning. Conflict is necessary for change. Aries reminds us that struggle can fuel progress. The question isn’t whether history is unfolding around you—it is how you choose to shape it.
