Weekly Astrology March 3rd 2025 Forecast for All Signs

ARIES

Your approval rating soars

Back in bold

Get ready for your relaunch!

With Venus now retrograde in your sign and Mercury arriving in shady motion (3^rd), it’s time to fine tune that image, Aries. You are at an important point of rebirth and resurrection now. Both planets retrograde in your 1^st (Mercury from the 15^th), add up to a period where you can make adjustments to your look, face, body, weight, appearance, profile, style and brand. You can also treat this as a period of experimentation.

Many of you may feel as if you are emerging from a long drawn out period of hibernation. No, this isn’t just down to the winter blues if you live in the Northern Hemisphere. You have ruler Mars’ retrograde to thank for that. But even hibernations end with rebirth and re-emergence. You may try a fresh element of you on for size this week. Simply to gauge how you feel about it. As well as that audience response. Look to the 8^th when the Sun in your house of hidden elements reignites Mars now direct in your 4^th. You’re back in bold now. Others cannot help but sit up and take notice.

You are doing this primarily for you. But you are also mindful of how you are coming across to others. This week sees Mercury make the first of three aspects to Pluto – planet of rebirth and transformation, in Aquarius and your 11^th of friends, groups and the collective. So yes, you are more aware than ever before of how you are coming across. As this is the first of three, think of this as beta testing. By the time Mercury makes its third pass to Pluto when it’s direct again next month, you’ll not only be happy with your results. But the feedback will be better than hoped for.

In a nutshell: This week sees you back to your signature fierce and bold approach, Aries. Ahead of a major new cycle ahead you’ll align the outer you with how you feel within. You’re not the same. Showcase your evolution.

TAURUS

Tackle that unfinished business

What’s lost get reclaimed

Devotion, diligence and dedication bring rewards

Ruler Venus is now retrograde in your house of the past. Mercury also lands in here this week (3^rd). And it too is slowing down in preparation for a retro of its own mid-month.

We have just come out of one major retro cycle to enter another one. I am of course talking about Mars retrograde which started last December. And impacted your confidence levels as well as your 4th/3rd houses. Mars is now direct once more in your 3^rd house of communication, getting around, business, studies and the internet. As well as ruling siblings, cousins and neighbours.

Something unfinished receives a Get Out of Retro Jail Free card on the 8^th. When the Sun in Pisces and your 11^th recharges Mars. News you have been waiting on could arrive. And you get a green light to move ahead again. Or something you imagined had flat-lined receives a jump start. Even a past connection or lost opportunity thanks to Mercury’s angle to Pluto in your 10^th (5^th). This is the first of three passes Mercury makes during its retro-cycle. And yes, Venus is performing the same manoeuvre.

Whatever you do however, don’t go seeking out the new. It’s all about the revival, reboot or return now. But anything that re-emerges from your past over the next six weeks or so does so not simply due to you keeping the faith. But through your diligence, persistence, tireless devotion, hard work and effort. You have earned this and the universe has taken note. Sometimes the honey is all the more sweeter for the wait, Taurus.

In a nutshell: Your devotion to a purpose, path or cause may sometimes be overlooked or taken for granted by others, Taurus. But karma always keeps the score. Just take it your efforts have been noted. And the results will be more than worth the wait.

GEMINI

The magic is in the focus

Reawaken your dreams

All you need is one – goal, love or perfect opportunity!

A little sword and sorcery. A rub of a magic lamp. The ability to cut to the chase. All this is powerful magic when it comes to those goals. You may now be looking closely at these. Along with those alliances, Gemini.

This week sees ruler Mercury drop into Aries and your 11^th house. It’s in pre-shadow and slowing down for full retroactive reversal from the 15^th. You also have Venus which rules your love life and your money already backwards in here. There’s therefore a big pause happening where you get to look at what you really want to attain or manifest. And then a complete redirection of your resources into what you deem most important. You may in fact single out one goal to rule them all during this cycle thanks to Mercury’s ongoing entanglements with Pluto (three in total). And Venus makes the same moves.

You’ll bring a magic touch to this during the upcoming Neptune in Aries cycle. And yes, you will cut away those less important goals to focus on your main desire. I could say the same when it comes to friendships. It is about to be all about quality not quantity, Gemini. IRL at least. Resonance and soul connection drives your social circle. Superficial acquaintances just won’t do it.

A goal which links to your career, your path of achievement or which would elevate your status or change how others see you, may be the focal point of those rekindled dreams. You will be able to infuse it with renewed inspiration when it comes to making it real. The 8^th brings you a brief window of unimpeded forward progress thanks to the Sun in your 10^th fuelling direct again Mars in your 2^nd. Make the most of this, Gemini. Giving it that magic touch could just see it continue to buck that retrograde trend. And maintain that momentum all the way into April.

In a nutshell: Ruler Mercury’s arrival in your house of goals, friendships and your future is set to revive anything from that old contact to that project, Gemini. Something lies waiting for you to awaken it with fresh magic. And breathe new love and life into the old.

CANCER

Go directly to your need

Upgrade your possibilities

What’s the real deal behind that dream?

The question hanging over the retro-filled cosmos this week is how much do you really, really want something, Cancer? And just what are you prepared to give or devote to it in order to have it?

If your heart isn’t truly in it, if it honestly doesn’t deserve your all, then do stop and ask yourself not just about your continued investment, but also why you want it at all? Say you want to become an influencer. During this big fat retrograde cycle which will cross and re-cross your success sector and also your house of expansion, luck and freedom, there’s no better time to look at what you’re really hoping for. Free stuff? Lots of followers? Money? Fame? None of those are bad things. We work we expect the rewards.

But is there something else driving you? Go deeper ahead of Neptune landing in your 10^th later this month. It’s the old ‘so that’ exercise. ‘I want to be an influencer so that . . .’ So that everyone who made me feel excluded in high school now sees how popular I am. So that hot Barry who laughed when I invited him for coffee spends the rest of his life regretting that. And so on.

Of course you can use your own goal or ambition here. This is just an example I’m using to send you down the path to uncover the emotional drive behind what it is you want to do or attain. Because there always is one. From having your family/partner take you seriously – to attempting to heal past hurts of rejection or feeling not good enough. When we know what’s driving it – we can go to it and meet that need. And then guess what? We are then totally free to go crush the dream anyway. If you want to succeed – go directly to the need. But you need to know what that is first.

Retro season allows you to make more than one foray of exploration to uncover this. And then release yourself into a new success cycle which begins at the end of the month. And PS Cancer – hot Barry wasn’t really that hot. Or smart if he said no to you. Take that with you. Time to upgrade.

In a nutshell: ‘Tis the season to refine those ambitions, Cancer. Not just the obvious professional ones. But the personal which your heart feeds with hope. But what’s the real need behind this? Once discovered there’s no more diversions. Go directly to your dream.

LEO

Know where you stand

Find the missing element

Push it good, Leo!

You’re taking a bold approach this week as Mercury arrives in Aries and your 9^th (3^rd), and then angles to Pluto in your 7^th (5^th). Boosted by your ruler’s angle to now direct Mars in your 12^th (8^th), you won’t hold back on what needs to be said and done.

And you also won’t be prepared to wait for someone to make up their mind or ‘get round’ to anything. You will push for answers or set something in motion yourself. Plus your desire to no longer time waste or remain stuck means you simply want to know where you stand. One way or the other.

Keep in mind that Mercury is in pre-shadow and Venus is already retrograde in your 9^th. The week offers a window where the usual retro rules are lifted. And the 8^th is especially good for you as it involves your ruler. Take it this will be your final push it moment before you embrace March’s big slowdown. Also – expect something you missed earlier to make itself know. A piece of the puzzle, a crucial bit of information or that missing element. Now it all makes sense. Or delivers what you needed.

This is also the first of three angles Mercury will make to Pluto during its retroactive phase. You have two more to come. So, take a hands-off approach once you have said and done what you set out to do. The final outcome will be with you next month. Needless to say – with retro action centered on your expansion and travel zone – apply the rules. As well as the brakes when needed.

In a nutshell: Your great personal slowdown is finally coming to an end, Leo. This week kick-starts something that’s been stalled or idling in the background. And if lack of information has been the sticking point you’ll go in search for that missing piece of the puzzle.

VIRGO

All endings contain new beginnings

Something comes full circle

Change is how destiny moves in mysterious ways

You are peering into the unknown this week. The mystery and inevitability of change is what you are contemplating. Keep in mind this March that hindsight is 20/20. Why or how things change may not be obvious at the time. It’s only perspective that hands us that clarity.

Of course you may be fully aware of exactly what you want or need to change up. But may not yet know how to go about it. That’s okay, Virgo. Ahead of you lies one of the deepest and most profound cycles you will undergo in your lifetime – Neptune’s entry into Aries and your house of empowered transformation. Ahead of this occurring, retrograde motion allows you to look at what you need to release. And also reconnect to what or who is most important to you. With ruler Mercury landing in your 8^th (3^rd) – in pre-shadow, and angling to Pluto in your 6^th, you’ll make a big priority change now.

You have the Sun and North Node still in your 7^th of partnerships, double acts of all descriptions and rivalries. And Venus already retrograde in your 8^th. Both Venus and your ruler will return to your 7^th before heading direct again next month. You’re heading for a pivot point or major change around a union one way or another. You know what’s in your heart. The mystery could be around the how or the who of it all. Look to the connection which is highlighted for you on the 8^th. It’s either rising or setting. If you’re still not sure – by the end of the month you’ll know which is which.

In a nutshell: March hands you one of the most destiny driven cycles of your life, Virgo. A new era is about to dawn. What may look like an ending could turn out to be the opposite. Time to surrender to change.

LIBRA

Love takes you to a higher dimension

It has to be real or no deal

Talk is cheap and actions speak louder than words

Action is attraction. You won’t have any patience for mixed signals or anyone who drags their feet, Libra. If someone has been promising you the moon – you now expect delivery. And it gift-wrapped. If not – you’ll have no hesitation calling them out over it as Mercury enters Aries and your 7^th.

You are entering uncharted territory when it comes to duets, duos, double acts and duels now. Not only will Mercury shortly join the retro dance with your ruler Venus in this house, but we have an upcoming eclipse and Neptune entering Aries at the end of the month. All this adds up to you no longer willing to simply wait around if this is what’s been happening. This applies to working dynamics as well as friendships or any long term connection. It’s no use someone talking a good game. They need to bring it.

You are becoming more and more certain of what it is you want from any particular union. And it is very important that this is clearly defined before Neptune’s arrival. Above all let go of anything that involves you yearning but not getting. You need to make it real or not at all. If you have allowed something to drift or if you have not been clear or upfront about what it is you are seeking, this week is the time to let others know what you want. And where you stand. No better time than this week’s retro-free day of the 8^th when the Sun in your Just Do It 6^th fires up Mars in your boss sector. You got game, Libra. Just insist others serve theirs.

In a nutshell: Ruler Venus retrograde in your 7^th is joined by pre-retro Mercury this week. Time to be upfront about what you want if you’re not getting it, Libra. If someone’s been stringing you along with fancy words and promises – time’s up. Insist on delivery or change direction.

SCORPIO

Keep your focus where it matters

Start your engines

No more retro madness – just retro badass!

When a planet retrogrades in either its ruling sign or a ruling house in our charts, we need to prepare to be a retro badass rather than succumb to the madness. Mercury enters Aries and your 6^th house. Which it rules along with your ancient ruler Mars – thankfully direct in your 9^th.

But what this tells you ahead of Mercury in full reverse in this house from the 15^th, is that you need to be very organised, set clear priorities and above all – stop the rush. Despite arriving retro-shadow ready, Mercury is in a rush to get things done. Yes, its pro-active vibe can see you tackling those tasks and tying up loose ends. But don’t skip steps in your desire to get things done. Because this will only lead to mistakes and you having to go back and do it all again.

Both your rulers old and new are in the frame this week. Indicating you are in the mood to get things done. But also that you’re unusually impatient. Stuff which you would normally ignore may niggle you more than usual. Keep a firm grip on whether or not this truly matters in the grand scheme of things, Scorpio. But do set priorities for this cycle. And forget multitasking. A laser focussed one thing at a time approach is what turns that madness to badass. When Mercury aligns to ruler Pluto in your 4^th for the first of three times on the 5^th – this is the perfect date to implement anything that defines your work/life balance.

There’s been a strange, dragging, stuck cycle especially around your trajectory, path, ambitions and purpose that has made forward progress difficult since last December. I am of course referring to Mars retrograde in your 10th/9th houses. Restart those engines. Prepare to take your best shot or to break through barriers to progress on the 8^th. The angle between the Sun in your 5^th and Mars now direct again bucks that retro trend. Some of you may dare to experiment or try a new approach. Allowing yourself a chance to fail also adds up to letting yourself succeed. That’s the other side of retro weather Scorpio – being unafraid to try again.

In a nutshell: That feeling of heavy lifting or going nowhere fast has been down to old ruler Mars retrograde in your 9^th. This week hands you reignition in an area that’s been stuck. But don’t scatter your energy with more retro weather blowing in. Focus on one thing at a time, Scorpio.

SAGITTARIUS

Life puts you back in the frame

The fire was always burning

Get ready for your most spectacular come-back yet!

I’ve written a fair bit in your monthly forecast about feeling you have been erased from the bigger picture. Especially when it comes to what you do and what makes you shine and stand out. That sinking feeling you’re invisible. Or that the cosmos employed some AI edit tool and simply removed you. Some of you may have become aware of this during your birthday cycle last year. It may not have served the usual boundless optimism of new beginnings that you expected.

Others may have been experiencing this for quite some time. Short term, this has been caused by Mars retrograde across your 9th/8th houses. Long term – Saturn restricting you in Pisces and squaring your Sagittarian factors. Take it that despite the build up of retro weather in your fabulizing 5^th – vanishing acts are over. This week marks your relaunch and re-emergence from being relegated to being just an extra in someone else’s big production.

No, we’re not ignoring preshadow Mercury in your 5^th from the 3^rd. It joins Venus already in here. But Mercury’s angle to Pluto in your 3^rd (the first of three), points to re-emergence or your come back. Due to the retros – this may be a process. But take it that is has begun.

Feeling seen, stepping back into the sunlight again, feeling that the doors to life are re-opening or simply the energy flowing forward again, restarts that fire within you. And sees you radiate once again.

By the month’s end you will be done with being overlooked. This week also brings a welcome change around resources or your living arrangements as the Sun in your 4^th trines Mars in your 8^th. This is another matter which may take 6-8 weeks to finalise. But that light is at the end of the tunnel, Sag. Prepare to shine again.

In a nutshell: No more feeling that life is simply passing you by. Or that you’re hidden in plain sight or the extra in someone else’s story. Your relaunch is about to happen. Take it that the next few weeks are simply a rehearsal for your star turn.

CAPRICORN

Channel your resources

Get ready for a big decision

Know what you can control, and what you can’t – release

We are in Cardinal retrograde season and also the year’s biggest shift will take place in Cardinal Aries and your 4^th house at the end of the month. This tells you that you are approaching a life-altering change. And that the slow down or resistance you encounter has been sent to help you ease into this new cycle. It’s not there to block or restrict you as you may think.

Cardinal factors square your natal Capricorn ones. Hence that feeling of needing to push or make that extra effort. However, you need to know when to adopt an attitude of acceptance and just let go. That doesn’t mean giving up and adopting a fatalistic approach. Just knowing when you have done all you can. Or else accepting there are certain things you simply cannot control.

Your resources are something you CAN control however. As well as your emotional responses. Venus is already retrograde in your 4^th. Mercury arrives in there this week – in preshadow. It will reverse on the 15^th. Both planets make highly beneficial angles to Pluto now in your 2^nd – and more than once. Combine this will the Sun in your 3^rd igniting the power of Mars’ love in action in your 7^th, and you have an opportunity this week to control the outcome in a key area. A decision can be made or you see a way forward in a partnership matter.

All this before the retro barriers are raised. At which point acceptance of the things you cannot change – and the slowing down of what you can, allows you to lean in to an even bigger one ahead around home, family, path and lifestyle at the end of the month.

In a nutshell: A door is opening to a higher path. But what you see as a slow down may simply be the universe’s way of giving you time to adapt. Accepting there are certain things you simply can’t control frees up your resources to concentrate on the things you can.

AQUARIUS

Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon

You come and go, you come and go

Culture Club: Karma Chameleon

If Mars retrograde across your 7th/6th houses and Pluto now in your 1^st decided to form a band and have an anthem – chances are it would be Karma Chameleon. This resonates with what’s happening in your chart on so many levels. First – well, Buddha himself told us karma is so complex we can’t possibly understand it. So, it’s a chameleon in itself. Yes, a relationship can be karmic in nature. But figuring out just what that is – and why, is another matter. Just whose karma is it anyway? Yours or the other party’s? That in itself can be camouflaged.

Pluto tells us to keep its energy very ‘clean’. When we don’t – it eventually blows up. ‘Fallout’ in other words. Boy George talks about how the song deals with issues around trying to be all things to all people. Sucking up and being afraid to be yourself or stand for something out of a fear of alienation. Chameleons are seen as symbols of transformation. But yes, there is the other side of hiding true colours to blend in. Or deliberately mislead by becoming something someone needs.

With major retrograde planets in Aries and your 3^rd (Venus and now Mercury) making angles to Pluto multiple times, an upcoming Mars/Pluto opposition and a major energy shift from Neptune – planet of hidden truths, hopefully you are serving your true colours, Aquarius. And you successfully resisted becoming ensnared with anyone who wasn’t a cleanskin on an emotional level. Mars is direct again now, but you do need to steer clear of anything that would fall under ‘It’s complicated’. Or that you wouldn’t want your mum, your boss or yes, your current partner, to find out about.

Comings and goings need to be addressed. Especially if this has been an on again/off again pattern between you. And is taking its toll emotionally. Look to the 8^th to tackle this. However, if there is still karma to be played out that former lover could return. Your one rule for the upcoming cycle – red, gold and green but nothing shady.

In a nutshell: Others may show you their true colours now. While Pluto in your sign tells you there’s only one way to acceptance and real love – and that’s serving you real. Don’t feel you need be anything but that in order to get what you want.

PISCES

Know that destiny has a plan

Say goodbye to feeling so-so

Define what’s sure and certain

There’s something happening on a grand and epic scale for you, Pisces. And it extends long past this year’s birthday season. Fate, destiny, karma – whatever you prefer to call it, is at work. And you will be more aware than at any other time of fated events and milestones appearing on your path.

Choices and decisions await you. And due to eclipses and also major retrograde weather heading your way, you need to take your time with these. Ruler Neptune is also poised on the cusp of changing signs. A move that is going to impact your money, possessions, property, income, assets and relationships you can ‘bank’ on. Keep in mind that Venus now retrograde in your 2^nd is ruler of all these – and more.

Mercury makes a temporary exit and enters your 2^nd (3^rd). It’s in Schwarzenegger mode and it will be back by the end of the month. Time to balance the books in your life and set those values before the arrival of Neptune. Especially if you not knowing where the money goes has been an issue for you. Look also to who or what you spend your most precious but intangible resources on – your time, talents, expertise and love. These are things to be treasured and protected. And not wasted on those who don’t appreciate them. Or where there is no reciprocal giving in return.

Get very clear about who or what adds value. And also your finances. Deal with debts and come up with a plan to clear them if you owe money. Come up with a ‘spending plan’. Seek professional advice if necessary.

Wants and needs can be two different things. Focus first on your needs. And for now, put the wants on the back burner. Since last December romance, creative ventures, hobbies, children or even having fun may have been subject to stops/starts, frustrations and disappointment. Mars retrograde in your 5^th tends to make things fizzle out. Or you simply don’t feel the way about something you once did.

Attack of the Mars Mehs is over this week as the Sun’s angle to Mars (Direct) from your 1^st brings the passion alive again. With Venus retro this isn’t about the new – this is the old or existing getting a heart-starter. It can be your love for something just as easily as someone. Jump start into what adds new meaning and real value.

In a nutshell: Ambivalence is replaced by blazing certainty this week. And something you had wondered about revives with fresh relevance. Time to refine that value system ahead of ruler Neptune’s big switch this month. Let others know what you stand for.
