THIS MONTH’S SOLAR SEASON
PISCES SEASON started on 18th February and continues to the 20th of this month when the Sun moves into zodiac sign ARIES at the March Equinox. The solar blend of Mutable Water Pisces and Cardinal Fire Aries produces an exciting mix of imagination and motivation. Dreams and visions are the driving force that encourage us to push forward with projects which demand a certain amount of courage and conviction from us.
The effect of these WATER/FIRE energies can be used to help you be more brave about making your dreams come true. Don’t listen to the doubts which tell you it can’t be done. Fight the fear that you are bound to fail. Stay focussed on your goal and channel your undivided attention into achieving it.

MARCH 2025 ~ PLANETARY PLACEMENTS, NEW & FULL MOONS
2 MARCH PLANET VENUS MOVES RETROGRADE IN ARIES
You may now be entering a period where it will not be so easy to put yourself first. Other people’s wants and needs could take precedence over your own. But this does not mean you have to relinquish the pursuit of the personal goals you wish to achieve.
Apply your talents to creating bullet point to-do lists which cover all the priorities that must be accounted for. Cut out any unnecessary activities and be ready to say “No” to unfair demands on your time and energy. In this way, you always win and nobody else loses out.
3 MARCH PLANET MERCURY MOVES INTO ARIES
This placement of mind planet Mercury is helpful if you are keen to create short cuts. Whether you are dealing with information overload or boxes full of unwanted articles, what you need is a one-track brain to show you the quickest route to clarity. Short, sharp bullet point lists are your best bet as they can help you to stay focused on your main goals. Take one step at a time and stick to the subject in hand.
Do not try to run before you can walk. Start at the beginning and work your way through a series of short-term targets until you reach your desired outcome. Once you have grasped the basic principles of your mission your mind will begin to process data more quickly and you will cover ground at a much faster rate.
14 MARCH FULL MOON IN VIRGO (TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE)
This is the ideal time to consolidate on the effort you have contributed up until now, culminating in the present moment. You deserve to reap the rewards of your labour. Give yourself credit for what you have achieved, even if the results appear relatively modest. Your main concern should be that you feel satisfied with how things are going. Your project is a work in progress which you will continue to bring to perfection in a variety of ways and forms.
The energy of the eclipse could be used to empower your interest in producing positive results, although it should not be allowed to turn your dedication into an unhealthy devotion to duty.
The Sun is conjunct Saturn in Pisces and the Moon is trine Uranus in Taurus as this Full Moon eclipse takes place, which could be very helpful if you have been trying hard for a long time to manifest your vision in real life terms. You will now be reassured that your efforts have not been wasted and that you were right to follow your dream.
15 MARCH PLANET MERCURY MOVES RETROGRADE IN ARIES
You may find that some of your attempts to get your ideas across do not seem to be hitting the targets you set for yourself. Initially, this could be a source of disappointment but please do not give into despair or give up on your original plan of action. It may just be that you expected things to happen faster than was possible. You now have to set your sights on a more probable timeline.
While it might be helpful to keep an eye on the competition, do not allow yourself to be panicked into running up against your rivals. Stay focused on your own goals and resist the urge to cut corners just so you can speed through the items on your to-do list.
20 MARCH THE SUN MOVES INTO ARIES (EQUINOX)
We have arrived at the March Equinox and now is the time to set your goals for the coming season. Start out with an overall idea of what you would like to achieve during the year and then break the path to your ultimate objective into a series of shorter-term goals, or destinations.
The Sun’s energy blazes brightly in dynamic fire sign Aries, where it can help to boost your enthusiasm, confidence and motivation. But it might heighten your levels of impatience, so be careful not to push yourself too hard, too soon.
Targets and deadlines can be used to keep you on track, but try not to pin all your hopes on hitting them. See them as something to aim for rather than defining them as outcomes which must be either won or lost. The point is to stay focused on gaining the prizes which offer you a true sense of success and personal accomplishment.
27 MARCH PLANET VENUS RETROGRADES INTO PISCES
Make sure that a kind heart which falls in love too easily does not tempt you to dive into water that appears beautifully smooth and clear on the surface but which, in reality, is churning with treacherous currents. Please do not get sucked into situations where you might be manipulated by people who engage your emotions in order to benefit themselves at the expense of your charitable nature.
There is nothing wrong with offering sympathetic support to those who really need it, and who would appreciate your care and attention. But it is not wise to waste your gifts on tricksters and fools. This is especially relevant because as she retrogrades into Pisces, Venus falls back into the slippery clutches of dreamy, impractical Neptune – the planet who refuses to face reality but insists on drifting around in a fog of illusion, delusion and uncertainty.
29 MARCH NEW MOON IN ARIES (PARTIAL SOLAR ECLIPSE)
Any intentions you set now should be focused on goals that feel absolutely right for you. There is no point in wasting your energy on activities which drain rather than boost your motivation and drive. This is your chance to prove that if you want something enough, nothing can stop you from finding a way to win it. While the partial solar eclipse should empower your incentive you will probably need to watch out for hot-headed, irrational emotional reactions which could crash your chances of hitting the targets you are aiming to achieve.
30 MARCH PLANET MERCURY RETROGRADES INTO PISCES
The best way to make positive use of this placement is to let your mind drift with whatever direction the flow seems to be taking you, as though you were fishing for inspirational information. Try not to have any fixed ideas about what might be coming your way. Once you get the feeling that you have caught something which could be of special interest, it will be time to sit up and take notice. The situation remains very fluid and there is no need for you to try to interpret what you are being shown in real terms. Its true meaning will be revealed in due course.
Mercury is crossing paths with nebulous Neptune as they both move signs. This makes it all the more important to trust the Soul Plan Guidance which comes from within. It will be infinitely more dependable than the empty promises and fantasy news articles peddled and promoted by social media sources.
30 MARCH PLANET NEPTUNE MOVES INTO ARIES
This very big deal astrological event last happened between the years 1861 and 1875. The American Civil War occurred during this time, and although its origins were complex, the main ideal that inspired a conflict in which so many lives were sacrificed was the abolition of slavery. But here we now stand almost two centuries later, and unfortunately, humans continue to exploit one another in the most heartless and hypocritical of ways.
As Neptune passes through Aries 2025-2039 we can only hope that the world will be washed by a wave of evolved awareness from the higher realms of consciousness.
This empathetic influence would be spearheaded by a group of brave, compassionate, sensitive souls who are willing to dedicate their lives to fighting all forms of oppression.
You can add to the efforts of these Light Warriors by aligning every waking moment of your incarnated existence to the Golden Rule “Do As You Would Be Done By”. Your thoughts, words and deeds should be guided by this principle, beloved of all major belief systems and promoted as the one and only way to create heaven on earth.
“KINDNESS IS CONTAGIOUS;
LET’S START AN EPIDEMIC!”

SURFING THE SOLAR SYSTEM
When you realise you have been granted free will with regard to all aspects of your earth plane existence which allows you to choose between:
- being swept helplessly along by the Tides of Life
- surfing the waves of Cosmic Consciousness that flow through our Solar System
you are more likely to select the second option! By being aware of the energies emanating from the Heavenly Bodies surrounding our planet you re-awaken the ability to tune in to their influence and use it to manifest your own reality. You then become a living channel for the high-frequency intelligence that both heals and helps humanity by changing it for the better.
