Mercury Cazimi in Aries

On March 24, 2025, the Sun and Mercury meet in our cosmos in the zodiac sign of Aries. Astrologically, a cazimi is the near meeting of the Sun and a planet and is understood to bring awareness, insight, inspiration, and rebirth to the planet in question.

With Mercury in retrograde at the time of its cazimi, these insights become more personal. They are intimate knowings from within that are ready to make their way into our awareness. They are inspirations that have been waiting until we had the space to receive them. They are truths that, on this day, are ready to be awakened, integrated, and experienced.

This week’s cazimi also brings Mercury the closest to Earth—and, therefore, to us—that it can be. On this day, its characteristics becomes more available. It is the oracle, scribe, and messenger of the cosmos, the planet shaping our thoughts and mental reality. Listen for quiet insights related to desire, confidence, courage, and new beginnings.

Venus Retrograde Enters Pisces

Venus has been in her perceived backward spin, which began in the fires of Aries, since March 1, 2025. This week, she reimmerses herself in the sacred waters of Pisces on March 27, 2025, where she will continue her retrograde until April 12, 2025.

While in Aries, Venus retrograde was inviting us to review our selfhood, desires, life force, ambition, and relationship with action. In Pisces, her energy quiets. It takes on a more emotional, introspective, and spiritual quality.

As Venus retrogrades in Pisces throughout these coming weeks, it is a deep surrender into our hearts so that we may review the spaces, memories, fears, and patterns relating to love, connection, worthiness, beauty, and creativity. It’s a retrograde of compassion, forgiveness, and release. We are unravelling past hurts relating to love, releasing heaviness, and rewriting narratives that keep us from our innate worth. If we create the space to listen, we will be shown reminders of our own beauty and the beauty of life itself. 

Mercury Retrograde Enters Pisces

Just two days after Venus retrograde steps back into Pisces, Mercury follows suit. Mercury began its retrograde recently on March 15, 2025, and will enter Pisces on March 29, 2025, where it will continue this reverse motion until April 7, 2025. Ruling themes of the mind, including our thoughts and communications, Mercury retrograde through Pisces means we are reviewing both the contents of our unconscious thinking and emotions as well as the heights of our inspirations and intuition.

In astrology, Pisces is the realm of the unseen. It is the spaces within and beyond us that speak through symbols, intuition, and feeling. It communicates through imagination, inspiration, and dreams—both daytime and nighttime. It is a direct line of communication to the spiritual dimensions of life. As Mercury immerses itself in Pisces throughout its retrograde, we are in communication with our unconscious and our minds become less about linear thought and instead are largely colored with subjective feeling.

Throughout this time, we are inward reviewing, we are in our feeling nature, and we are in a long release of mental patterns, coming home to ourselves in the process.

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries

This week brings our second eclipse of the season—this time a solar eclipse meeting us on the new Moon in Aries on March 29, 2025. Eclipses generally meet us four times a year and act as profound catalysts and openings for our way ahead. They interrupt patterns and introduce choices. They collapse time and bring future potential into the now. And they speak to an inner sense of purpose and direction, fulfillment and destiny by drawing out what has always been within us. They invite us to feel, listen, and trust the inner call desiring to be expressed through us.

As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries births new life and is led by passion, desire, inspiration, and action. Influencing the solar eclipse, Aries heightens the voice of knowing within us. The voice that acts as a compass, showing us our way forward, clarifying our “no,” and heightening our “yes.” The voice that communicates through gut feelings, flashes of inspiration. These sparks create profound inspiration, creativity, and an impulse of rebirth and passion within our bodies, minds, and beyond.

It is listening that our weekly horoscope invites you into under this solar eclipse. Our inner knowing is speaking. Our desires are speaking. Our bodies are speaking. And they are all offering us direction.

While Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, Pisces is the last As both Mercury and Venus retrograde surrender themselves to Pisces, Mercury meets its cazimi and a solar eclipse stuns us in Aries. At this time, we are both closing and opening, reviewing all that has brought us to this moment and looking toward the future. In the midst of this dance, we are being asked to observe, listen, feel, and take note.
