These March 2025 self-care horoscopes for each of the 12 zodiac signs are based on the upcoming astrological transits, (the movement of the planets around the sky), and some of the general themes that are going to be activated for you in the coming month.
As a witch, I’ll be sharing some predictions, insight, and inspiration on how you can most effectively nurture yourself and practice self-care this month based on the cosmos.
I highly recommend that you generate your birth chart at www.astro.com or www.astro-charts.com and read the horoscope for your rising sign but if you only know your sun sign, you can read for sun signs too or instead. Please note that in order to generate a chart with an accurate rising sign, you will need your exact birth time, as even a few minutes can actually make a difference.
Venus Retrograde in Aries
(March 1 – March 27): For almost all of March, Venus, the planet of love and desire, will be retrograde in Aries, the sign of passion and individuality. Venus retrograde only happens once every year and a half and it hasn’t happened in Aries since spring 2017. This retrograde is all about reflecting on our relationships, finances, and sense of self-worth.
This Venus retrograde, reflect on your worthiness…
- Aries: You are inherently worthy – and nothing and no one can ever take that away.
- Taurus: Heal your subconscious fears that being bold could make you less worthy.
- Gemini: You are worthy of appreciation, not just from a few people, but from many.
- Cancer: Your abundance comes from doing the work that you are passionate about.
- Leo: Expand your idea of what worthiness is and disconnect it from how hard you work.
- Virgo: Embrace the aspects of yourself that you dislike – you are worthy BECAUSE of these, not in spite of them.
- Libra: Open your heart to receive love from whoever you most desire – especially yourself.
- Scorpio: Take a good look in the mirror at the sexy babe staring back at you – your sex appeal is on fire.
- Sagittarius: Tell your inner child that you have been worthy every day of your life.
- Capricorn: You are worthy of rest and of setting down the endless to-do list.
- Aquarius: Repeat self-love and self-worth affirmations to yourself – rewire your brain.
- Pisces: Follow your passions to an abundance of money and pleasure.
Mercury Retrograde in Aries
(March 15 – 29): The second half of the month, Mercury will also be retrograde in Aries. As the planet of communication, Mercury’s retrogrades are often marked by miscommunications, typos, and broken tech. In this passionate fire sign, we can expect that tempers may be running high as well.
This Mercury retrograde, reflect on what really pisses you off and why…
- Aries: You bottle up your passion because everyone says it’s “too much” – knock it off and let that shit out.
- Taurus: Get curious about what actually does make you angry – do you even know?
- Gemini: The state of the world is worth raging about, so get loud in the name of justice.
- Cancer: You’re the mother hen at work and now’s the time to unionize your little chicks.
- Leo: You’re sick and tired of dogmatic, bullshit rules being imposed on you.
- Virgo: Speak up about the taboos you embody; now is not the time to be shy and you using your voice lifts everyone up.
- Libra: The next time your partner or best friend does that thing that drives you crazy, actually let them know instead of biting your tongue to keep the peace.
- Scorpio: Dismissed by the medical establishment? It’s time to advocate for your own wellness.
- Sagittarius: Express your anger, rage, or frustration through art to release the pressure.
- Capricorn: Write an angry letter to a parent, teacher, or childhood experience and (safely) burn it to release the pain.
- Aquarius: When you feel your temper start to flare, find a healthy outlet for it – a hard run, punch a pillow, or scariest of all, a tough conversation.
- Pisces: A little makeup sex might be just what Mercury and Venus have in mind for you.
Eclipse Season in Virgo and Aries
(Lunar Eclipse in Virgo – March 14, Solar Eclipse in Aries – March 29): In addition to some big retrogrades, March is also our first eclipse season of the year. Eclipse season happens twice a year and comprises a pair of eclipses – a full moon lunar eclipse and a new moon solar eclipse. This one is important in particular because it is the first Virgo eclipse we’ve had in nearly ten years and the last Aries eclipse we will have for nearly a decade as well, so there is a big theme of endings and beginnings.
The Virgo eclipse is beginning a new era of releasing perfectionism and self-criticism. The Aries eclipse is closing a chapter of embodying passion and self-discovery.
- Aries: Release hypervigilance; reflect on who you’ve become in the last two years.
- Taurus: Release childhood pressure; reflect on the intuitive hits you’ve acted on lately.
- Gemini: Release the stress cleaning; reflect on the bold leader you’ve become.
- Cancer: Release the self-editing; reflect on how far you’ve come at work or in business.
- Leo: Release shame around pleasure; reflect on how you’ve expanded your horizons.
- Virgo: Release negative self-talk; reflect on the shadows you’ve healed.
- Libra: Release subconscious limiting beliefs; reflect on how much more direct you’ve been in your relationships.
- Scorpio: Release social expectations and reflect on all the healing and growth you’ve done.
- Sagittarius: Release arbitrary, self-imposed deadlines; reflect on the boldness, passion, and fun you’ve embraced.
- Capricorn: Release obsessive self-control; reflect on how much more at home you feel in your body and emotions.
- Aquarius: Release shadows of perfectionism; reflect on how much more comfortable you are expressing your anger.
- Pisces: Release people-pleasing; reflect on how passion and pleasure intersect.
