Prepare for an intense week filled with reflection, transformation, and bold new beginnings. This week brings us, among other things, Mercury Cazimi, a New Moon in Aries, and most importantly, a significant cosmic event – Neptune entering Aries. This transit carries the powerful message that synchronicity with Oneness is an act of courage.

Right from the beginning, Monday’s clarity brought by the retrograde Mercury Cazimi in Aries offers flashes of understanding. These insights can evolve into profound, transformational conversations on Tuesday, thanks to Mercury’s sextile with Pluto. This is the perfect moment to vocalize the truths that emerged during the Mercury Cazimi.

Midweek presents a challenge with the square between Mars in Cancer and Chiron in Aries. This aspect forces us to confront suppressed anger and a lack of self-belief. While facing these wounds can be difficult, they are essential lessons, helping us release pent-up emotions and make way for fresh action.

On Thursday, Venus meets Neptune in dreamy Pisces, inviting us into a realm of subtle emotions and aspirations. It’s an ideal time to explore our relationships through a more spiritual lens. The week culminates with the New Moon in Aries over the weekend, urging us to plant seeds for future endeavors. Meanwhile, Mercury’s conjunction with Neptune intensifies our intuition, guiding us inward.

The highlight of the week is undoubtedly Neptune’s ingress into Aries. This significant cosmic shift launches a thirteen-year cycle of profound spiritual transformation. It reminds us that true freedom can only be achieved through courage. This marks the end of the survival paradigm and the beginning of a groundbreaking way of understanding the world and our role within it.

The message from Galactic Heritage Card #33, Desperation, reminds us that, as humans, we often tend to make abrupt and unexamined decisions in moments of crisis, driven by a survival mindset. Unfortunately, decisions born of fear, desperation, or low vibrational states usually lead to unfavorable consequences. This happens because choices made from fear align not with our Higher Self but with the Ego System.

Thus, in challenging moments, as difficult as it may feel, it is crucial to practice inner discipline. Make time to allow your emotions to flow through, find stillness, and reach a calm, neutral state before deciding on your course of action. Only in this state of inner balance can we make choices aligned with our Higher Self.

However, if you have already made hasty or misaligned decisions under pressure, do not torment yourself. Every error brings a lesson, and each lesson should be met with gratitude as it helps us progress. Even the most difficult situations have their purpose – to foster growth, transformation, and learning.

Remember, this week offers immense opportunities for inner clarity and the courage to step into a new way of being.

Monday: Retrograde Mercury Cazimi in Aries

March 24, 2025, 8:48 PM Warsaw / 1:48 PM Santa Fe

Mercury in Aries always brings the energy of assertive communication. This sign teaches us to express our thoughts with courage, determination, and clarity. However, when Mercury goes retrograde, we are presented with a unique opportunity for deeper reflection. It’s the perfect time to pause and ask ourselves whether there’s balance in how we communicate. Have we been too forceful, too assertive, or perhaps the opposite – lacking the courage to speak up when it was needed?

Assertive communication requires harmony. It should be honest and bold but also respectful and open to others. It’s an art of finding balance between speaking the truth and appreciating silence. This is especially significant in our personal and spiritual evolution, transitioning away from fear and toward love. Yet, we cannot rush this process. The path to greater authenticity demands patience and attentiveness to both ourselves and others.

On Monday evening, when Mercury in Aries aligns perfectly with the Sun (in Warsaw, it will be the evening; in Santa Fe, the afternoon), a space for deep introspection opens before us. Retrograde Mercury Cazimi symbolizes a window to reassess our past communication from a new perspective. It’s a moment to evaluate whether our words have been authentic and consider what in our relationships was maybe excessive, or what might have been overlooked. Have we spoken with courage, or have we allowed the fear of raw truth to hold us back?

Aries, as the archetype of the fight for authenticity, encourages us to express ourselves honestly. Retrograde Mercury reminds us, however, that action is as important as pausing to reflect. This is the time for silence and those quiet moments to guide the way. Sometimes, the most profound understanding is found in the spaces between words. This exceptional moment offers insights that can lead us to more conscious and balanced communication.

Tuesday: Sextile of Retrograde Mercury in Aries and Pluto in Aquarius

March 25, 2025, 11:02 PM Warsaw / 4:02 PM Santa Fe
Strongest influence ≈ March 24–27

After Monday’s revelations and clarity brought by retrograde Mercury Cazimi, Tuesday’s sextile with Pluto unlocks entirely new possibilities for transformation. This is a time to break free from patterns and structures that no longer serve us, both personally and collectively. How do we speak in a way that ensures we are truly heard? How can we listen to others to find mutual understanding while respecting the pacing of processes that require time to mature fully?

This aspect invites us into transformational conversations of extraordinary depth and intensity. The energy, felt most strongly between March 24 and 27, allows us to scan ourselves and our communication within relationships. Aries brings courage, honesty, and directness as the foundation for open dialogue, while Aquarius calls upon us to explore unconventional ideas and future visions. This unique combination supports us in uncovering past patterns in how we communicate and encourages change.

We might notice the words we’ve withheld out of fear of rejection or conflict. Or perhaps we’ll realize that some of our comments have been too harsh or imposed undue pressure. Pluto provides the ability to engage in deep transformation. Conversations influenced by its energy can profoundly shift our beliefs and perceptions of reality.

This sextile encourages dialogue that is not only bold but also conscious and respectful. It enables challenging yet meaningful discussions while reminding us that true growth takes time. The spaces between words and attentiveness to what we express can become the key to communication that transforms not only ourselves but our surroundings as well.

Wednesday: Square of Mars in Cancer and Chiron in Aries

March 26, 2025, 9:12 PM Warsaw / 2:12 PM Santa Fe
Strongest influence ≈ March 15–31

The tension of the square between Mars in Cancer and Chiron in Aries has been felt by more sensitive souls since mid-month. It represents a clash between the instinct to protect and the insecurities rooted in our past that are connected to our assertiveness. Mars in Cancer acts with the motive of caring for loved ones, but the question is whether we can do so healthily if we’ve yet to heal our internal wounds. Chiron in Aries highlights where a lack of self-confidence or suppressed anger may hold us back from acting authentically and courageously.

This aspect can feel challenging, as it pushes us to confront deeply ingrained pain that needs healing to act from a balanced place. The anger that surfaces here doesn’t have to be destroyed; it can become a driving force for change if it is consciously released. This is a time to stop fighting and take an honest look at ourselves. When we integrate our emotions, every action becomes more conscious and aligned with our true selves.

Thursday: Retrograde Venus Returns to Pisces

March 27, 2025, 9:40 AM Warsaw / 2:40 AM Santa Fe
Influence ≈ March 27–April 30

Retrograde Venus moving back into Pisces shifts the energy in our relationships, bringing a deeper emotional dimension and an opportunity for catharsis. After an intense period in Aries characterized by doubt, tension, and assertiveness seeking space, Venus’s return to Pisces invites a more introspective approach to connections. This is a time to stop fighting for dominance and control and instead seek the subtle nuances of understanding, harmony, and compassion.

Piscean energy fosters emotional healing, surrendering resistance, and reconnecting with what truly matters in relationships – unconditional love and understanding. Yet, Venus’s return to this empathetic sign also requires the courage to face past disappointments and illusions. You might feel a longing for closeness and a need to heal old romantic wounds.

This is a period where relationships soften and take on a more reflective tone. Venus in Pisces reminds us that true connection grows from openness and mutual forgiveness.

Thursday: Retrograde Venus Conjunct Neptune in Pisces

March 27, 2025, 2:13 PM Warsaw / 7:13 AM Santa Fe
Peak influence ≈ March 23–30

The conjunction of retrograde Venus and Neptune in Pisces fills the atmosphere with an ethereal energy of dreams, illusions, and deep empathy. This extraordinary connection enhances our intuition and ability to feel others’ emotions, while also encouraging us to reflect on our emotional and romantic needs through the lens of ideals. Pisces reminds us that love has a spiritual dimension, and true connection is not limited to physical gestures but lies in opening the heart to compassion and forgiveness.

However, these energies can also lead to confusion, making it easy to succumb to illusions or escapist fantasies. This is a moment to find the balance between the yearning for perfect love and the acceptance of human imperfection. Spiritual growth and healing become the key during this mystical and introspective phase.

It’s not an ideal day for making any binding decisions about relationships.

Saturday: New Moon & partial Solar eclipse in Aries

March 29, 2025, 11:58 AM Warsaw / 4:58 AM Santa Fe

Saturday will bring not only the New Moon in Aries but also the rare phenomenon of a partial solar eclipse, which will further enhance the energetic beginning of a new cycle. On March 29, 2025, in Poland, the eclipse will start at approximately 11:50 AM in Warsaw, reaching its maximum around 12:30 PM. During this time, the Moon will cover a small portion of the Sun, creating not only a spectacular sight but also an opportunity for deeper reflection on the themes this day presents.

The New Moon in Aries amplifies the energy of new beginnings, bold decisions, and fresh starts. It is a moment of dynamic momentum that Aries embodies, boosting our confidence, motivation, and drive to take action. However, the presence of the partial solar eclipse adds depth and unpredictability, inviting subtle shifts that can manifest both within us and around us. Astrologically, eclipses mark intense moments of transformation, offering a chance to confront blockages and desires to consciously choose our path forward.

This particular New Moon also takes place alongside retrograde Mercury and Neptune at the cusp of Pisces and Aries. Retrograde Mercury encourages reflection on the past, urging us to reevaluate unsaid words, unfulfilled dreams, and decisions that need revisiting. Meanwhile, Neptune, in its final moments in Pisces, brings intuitive understanding, dreams, and spiritual depth, while also calling for clarity to avoid falling into illusions.

The key during this New Moon and eclipse is inner stillness and mindful “sowing of seeds.” It is a time to focus on intentions that stem from the most authentic needs of our soul. The planets and symbolic events of this day inspire us to harmoniously merge the quiet of the past with the fire of new beginnings. The partial solar eclipse reminds us that transformation requires both courage and the grace to accept what remains in shadow.

Therefore, let us consciously use this moment, dedicating ourselves to both dreams and reflection. Plant intentions that arise from the depths of the heart, staying aligned with the boldness that Aries brings and the subtlety evoked by the eclipse. May these inner and cosmic impulses guide us toward greater authenticity and a new, vibrant chapter of life.

Saturday/Sunday: Retrograde Mercury Conjunct Neptune in Pisces

Peak: March 30, 2025, 4:46 AM Warsaw / March 29, 9:46 PM Santa Fe
Strongest influence ≈ March 27–April 2

The conjunction of retrograde Mercury and Neptune in Pisces blurs the boundaries between logic and intuition, reason and emotion. Mercury, the planet of communication, in its retrograde motion encourages revisiting conversations, reflection, revisiting unresolved matters, and reinterpreting past experiences. Meanwhile, Neptune carries the energy of dreams, spirituality, and illusions, opening us to subtle dimensions of reality and reminding us of the profound unity of all existence.

During this conjunction, you might experience moments of mental pause, miscommunication, or escapist tendencies. Yet, it’s also an excellent time to explore your intuition and connect with deeper truths. It’s important to listen to yourself attentively and avoid judgment. Neptune’s dissolving energy fosters the understanding of the intangible but requires caution to avoid being carried away by illusions. This is a time for quiet introspection and attuning to the whispers of your soul.

Sunday: Neptune Enters Aries

March 30, 2025, 2:01 PM Warsaw / 7:01 AM Santa Fe
Influence ≈ March 30, 2025–May 21, 2038

Neptune’s transition into Aries brings a profound shift in collective energy, marking a new stage of spiritual exploration and bold transformation. Neptune, the planet that dissolves boundaries, urges us to move beyond the external illusions of separation, revealing the deep truth of our Oneness with the Absolute. For the past years, its energy has flowed through the realm of internal emotional and spiritual structures, and now Aries calls this subtle planet into a realm of action, assertiveness, and courage.

This is a pivotal moment when hidden truths may come to light. Aries gives Neptune a drive to uncover what has long been veiled by the material world. The light of awareness begins to flow more freely, bypassing the judgments, categorizations, and commentary typical of the ego. It’s a time to remove masks and discover yourself in full authenticity.

Facing the unknown and the risk of leaving behind deeply ingrained beliefs and structures can provoke anxiety. Yet, Neptune in Aries carries the message that true freedom is born from courage. Courage to step out of the shadows, stand fully in the light, and liberate yourself from fear and shame. This is a time of profound spiritual transformation that propels us with new strength toward discovering our true “self.” Though demanding, this process opens the door to healing ourselves and, consequently, the world around us.
