17-23 March: Astrology of the Week Ahead

This is your weekly astrology forecast for 13th - 23rd March :)

Currently we are in a Venus & Mercury retrograde and are sandwiched between 2 eclipses. The next 2 weeks are the most intense in March and one of the most intense in 2025, so take it easy, take extra special care of you and ask for help if you need to.

The good news is that we have some supporting influences towards the end of the week :) Read the insights for each key date below:

17th March

The Sun illuminates the path ahead, making it clear where we are meant to grow, evolve, and step into a greater sense of purpose. In Pisces, this journey is less about rigid plans and more about surrendering to intuition, creativity, and spiritual alignment. The Sun brings clarity to what was once foggy, revealing hidden opportunities and showing us where we need to trust the process. It’s a time of awakening—whether through deep personal insights, creative breakthroughs, or a renewed sense of faith. But with Pisces’ boundless nature, there’s also a temptation to drift into fantasy or escapism. The key? Let the Sun be your guide. Follow the inspiration that lights you up, take grounded steps toward your dreams, and trust that the universe is nudging you exactly where you need to go.

19-20th March

Today reality and illusion blur. Creativity, spirituality, and compassion are amplified, but so are escapism, deception, and confusion. The Sun’s light can illuminate hidden truths in Neptune, but it can also cast long, distorted shadows. Be mindful of wishful thinking, misplaced idealism, or falling for illusions that promise salvation but lead to disappointment. The key is to stay grounded—lean into inspiration, but don’t lose yourself in fantasies or narratives that sound too good to be true. This is an excellent time for creative pursuits, meditation, and acts of service, but also a moment to check in with reality and make sure you’re not chasing a mirage.

20th March

The Sun enters Aries today, marking not only the start of the Aries season, but also the start of spring in the Northern hemisphere and the new astrological year. The emergence from the dreamy waters of Pisces and the kickstart of Aries season usually come with a burst, but this year the fire of the ram is tempered by cosmic crosswinds. We’re in eclipse season, a time of fated shifts and unexpected turns, making it less about charging ahead in true Aries fashion and more about navigating transitions with awareness. Mercury retrograde (until April 7) urges us to rethink, revise, and move with caution—impulsivity could backfire. And with Venus still retrograde until April 13, relationships, values, and desires are undergoing deep reassessment. This Aries season isn’t just about starting—it’s about recalibrating before the real momentum kicks in. Trust that what’s delayed now is being refined for a stronger, more aligned future.

21-22nd March

Venus retrograde sextile Pluto takes the depth and intensity of this aspect inward, making it a time of reflection, reevaluation, and quiet but profound transformation in relationships, finances, and self-worth. Old patterns, past connections, or unresolved emotions may resurface, offering a chance to understand them on a deeper level. This is not about rushing into change but about sitting with what comes up—recognizing what truly holds value and what needs to be released. If you embrace honesty with yourself and others, this transit can lead to breakthroughs that redefine what love, trust, and security mean to you.

22-23rd March

When Venus retrograde meets the Sun in a Venus cazimi, we reach the heart of the retrograde journey—a rare moment of clarity in the midst of emotional and relational reassessment. This is a reset point, illuminating what truly matters in love, creativity, self-worth, and finances. Patterns that have been unraveling since Venus went retrograde now crystallize, offering insight into what needs to be released, reclaimed, or redefined.

It’s a moment of deep reflection rather than action. Old wounds, past loves, or unresolved desires might surface—not to pull you back, but to help you see them with fresh eyes. What do you truly value? What relationships or creative pursuits are in alignment with who you are becoming? This transit invites you to listen closely to your heart, to rewrite outdated narratives, and to prepare for a new chapter—once Venus moves direct. Stay open, observe, and let the revelations settle before making big moves.

23-24th March

Sun sextile Pluto is a quiet but powerful force, bringing opportunities for transformation without the usual chaos that deep change can bring. This is a time to step into your personal power with confidence, whether in career, relationships, or inner growth. There’s a sense of clarity now—an ability to see beyond surface-level distractions and tap into what really matters. If you’ve been working toward something meaningful, this transit provides the strength and resilience to push through any remaining barriers.

The key to making the most of this energy is to embrace change rather than resist it. Subtle but impactful shifts are happening beneath the surface, whether in your mindset, ambitions, or connections with others. It’s a great time for deep conversations, strategic moves, and releasing what no longer serves you. Trust your instincts, lean into transformation, and use this energy to evolve in a way that feels empowered rather than forced.

Sending you cosmic greetings!
