The tavern around the corner
When mercury reaches the maximum distance before the sun, mercury turns retrograde. Just like a child tied to his parents by an invisible belt, it returns to the sun with the news ahead. Some of them are important, some of them are not. “About two blocks of white dogs!” and “Wilson is drawing their house red!” with “There are a bunch of horror guys hanging around the tavern!” overflow. It’s not Mercury’s job to figure out what’s important from the trivialities; it’s all news.
When retrograde mercury regains with the sun through conjunction (March 24, 2025, 12:48 pm PDT, 4º24’RARIES), we want to ask ourselves if any of its news is relevant to us and how much energy we should prepare for everything in the future. Meanwhile, on our recent journey, Mercury continues to return backwards, looking for mistakes. Have we forgotten to pay the bill? Ignore important pages on the document we signed? Ignore the service of booking a car?
What needs to be solved? First, it will put you in a better position to deal with what you know – White Dog, Wilson, Columbia guy. And then dealing with things that obviously helps. Pay the bill. Let the car repair. And bring some dog snacks.
Attract your brain
Mercury finished second in a series of sixes this week (March 25, 2025, 3:02 pm, PDT, 3º27’Aries-Aquarius; the first one is March 5, the last one on April 20). I’ve been past Pluto in my birth Mercury for a while. Please allow me to share what I know about this planetary combination.
First of all, the gal in this cargo is usually optimistic and can usually summon an optimistic view. But Pluto’s visit to Mercury is making this difficult, and some days have fallen into sadness and pessimism. My best coping strategy proved to be bookkeeping and crossword puzzles, an emotionally neutral pastime that required me to dig deep and solve problems. There is no doubt that you have some similar pastime for yourself.
Mercury and Pluto are unlikely. Mercury is curious and light and likes to keep moving forward. Pluto is determined to sit in a place and then deconstruct things onto the stud. When they meet this week, keep your brain engaged and interested and you will keep your negative emotions at a minimum.
Eternal happiness
When Venus enters Aries on February 3, I finally feel like I have woken up to the New Year. I filled out my expected course schedule and a calendar of speech obligations for the year. Then Venus turned retrograde on March 1, and I looked at that calendar again with overwhelming and fear. Of course, growing my business requires a continuous forward movement – but how much is the cost of health and happiness?
This week, Venus retrograde to Pisces drowning climate (March 27, 2025, pdt 1:41 am), as if saying, Oh, so do you think Pisces season only needs rest and slower pace? No, my friend, you need it Eternal Habits are designed to keep your life balanced. These habits will not be developed until April 30, when Venus returns to Aries. Before that, try to enjoy a slower pace. Contact your loved ones. Let Venus fight ze and dream.
oxalic acid
As Venus continues her retrograde journey, we review a list of important things. and Venus appears with Neptune (March 27, 2025, pdt, 29º53′ Pisces) In the second of the three conjunctions (other conjunctions: February 1 and May 2), we carefully examine beauty, grace, music and things that make life happy.
Even if we have to work hard to find them, what is life without beauty and harmony? I love flowers, but the biting cats prevented me from putting them indoors. Fortunately, outside my north-facing office is a pile of large oxygen that appears every spring, and in March sometimes flat, grey sky, there are strong yellow notes – subtle, fragile and cheerful. My work is not suitable for musical soundtracks, but I smiled at the sound of the March wind, around the wind tyre, the diligent woodpecker attacked the power pole, and the cat chatted him from the window.
Venus and Neptune together remind us what a fierce wind of change, so much gentle beauty around us, so much listening and enjoying, and so love.
Pull it until the fog is clear
Mercury retrograde exist March 29, The first Enter Pisces (PDT at 7:18 pm), then almost immediately Join Neptune (PDT at 7:46 pm).
It’s a sensitive combination, a sponge-like mercury that absorbs all its information. It was already a very tense day, with a solar eclipse and Neptune just a few hours before Aries enrollment.
On this date, it can be tempting to avoid any concerns that we may hurt others or concerns that we may hurt ourselves or because we may hurt ourselves. I have to say that avoidance may not be the worst idea. After all, if you are driving in thick fog, it is usually recommended to pull it away until it is cleared. Mercury will be direct and direct as soon as possible (April 7) and Reenter Aries (April 15).
Before that (or at least a few days), take a nap, read novels, play music; allow for reflection space. You can solve tasks that require rational thinking and analysis, but focusing can be more difficult, and it is best to have someone proofread your work. Now is a better time to study artistic pursuits and explore spiritual and intuitive interests.
hurry up
Since April 2023, the solar eclipse has alternated between Aries and Libra when it declines at 29º50′. The north node of the moon has always existed in Aries, and as time goes by, astrologers praise the virtues of the warrior’s logo. “Embraise your independence, your personality!” we wrote. “Pursuing your goals instead of letting others tell you what to do!”
I wrote these things and I support them. But what I didn’t write is that because I didn’t fully appreciate the reality, this node/eclipse period is actually a training camp that aims to develop the fighting nature of Aries. You are willing to fight for this, which is important enough for you? Is it important to stop playing and lift the Duke?
This Aries New Moon (March 29, 2025, 3:58 AM PDT, 9º00’Aries) is the last solar eclipse for the sign until October 2032. The chart of eclipse time has six planets and the north nodes of the moon, packed within 15 degrees; so much energy is confined to a small place with lots of eggs in a basket. Eclipse Point itself is six Pluto on one side and Jupiter on the other, positioning like a sentinel. We may take advantage of Pluto’s dark tendencies or Jupiter’s hopeful tendencies.
Meanwhile, Neptune surfaces for the last few hours, preparing to bring its long-awaited entrance into Aries the next day. Now, we are sleepy, meditating on the end of Pisces time, and what will happen next will be completely different.
Eclipses points to change and provides an opportunity to move from the default settings of the south node to the bright promises of the north node; to throw away what prevents us from growing up and push us in the direction of new things. Growing up is always promising, but in reality, being thrown out of the nest and leaning towards the change is terrible. Like a strong father, he teaches a frightened child to swim and throws him deep in the pool.
Aries have noble qualities such as courage and motivation, as well as the innocence of newbies. But it also brought us fierce rams, bloody warriors, and hard-biting big Santini. “Be a man,” it might say. “Rock. Counterattack.” Summon your courage and continue swimming.
Lambs and Rats
This new moon eclipse is at 9º00’RARIES Crystal Gazer. Is it a glimpse, prognosis Neptune may look like Aries, A fierce sign of entry 25 hours later (March 30, 2025, PDT at 4:58 am)?
Neptune symbolizes the healing circle of ocean tides, clean and rough for the kitten’s tongue. Believe and worship what we think is sacred; but fantasy and delusion. Famously, Neptune entered Aries for the last time on April 13, 1861, just one day after the American Civil War broke out in Fort Sumter. The most divided and bloody battle in the history of this country has its origins in Neptune’s “Dream”, which is the determination to retain a glittering and beautiful agricultural culture and economy until you notice its cost in human slavery.
Whenever Neptune enters a new sign, we listen to new collective dreams. In Aries, this vision could be a ram, slamming its horns into a dead enemy, or perhaps a selfless sacrifice lamb.
Neptune will be in Aries until March 2039 and will briefly retrograde to Pisces from October 22, 2025 to January 26, 2026.
