This week is extraordinary. We’re embarking on a cosmic journey filled with reflection and discovery, where every astrological event seems to lay a clear map guiding us toward a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the world. The Spring Equinox is upon us, symbolizing a fresh beginning, revitalized energy, and setting the course for the months ahead. The Sun in Aries evokes bold, innovative action, but this time, we’re approaching the cycle with heightened awareness, thanks to other cosmic highlights throughout the week.

The week begins with a conjunction of the Sun and the North Node in Pisces, reminding us of our collective path of evolution. Like a beacon, it shows us where we need to head as a community and encourages us to connect with our intuition and the energy of compassion. Neptune Cazimi in Pisces amplifies this spirituality and highlights the importance of releasing old illusions that have been holding us back. Neptune, illuminated by the Sun, quite literally lights up areas that were previously obscured by the hazy shadows of our beliefs.

At the same time, sextiles between the Sun and Pluto and between Venus and Pluto in Aquarius bring opportunities to turn these realizations into tangible transformations. Pluto in Aquarius inspires the reformation of old, rigid structures into something that serves both ourselves and the collective. Venus in retrograde, in Cazimi in Aries, invites us to reassess our relationships, values, and boundaries. It’s a strong call for honesty with ourselves and the courage to express what truly matters to us.

The North Node in Pisces also plays a key role, subtly yet consistently in recent weeks, reminding us of the dynamic nature of our transformation and underscoring the importance of a conscious direction in our path forward.

This week, I drew the Galactic Heritage Card titled “Feminine Principle.” This card reflects the archetypal energy of the earliest priestesses and lunar wisdom, acting as a mirror for the astrological events of the week, urging us to turn inward. The feminine energy that each of us carries, regardless of gender, speaks to the ability to receive, draw strength from inner stillness, and relinquish the constant search for answers in the outside world. This is the time to recognize it, reach for a deeper spiritual connection with ourselves and the Universe, and feel unity with something that transcends our ego.

The astrology of this week invites us to move through these pivotal moments with an open heart and courage. It’s not just a week of action but also one of profound introspection, so we may step into a new cycle with clarity, balance, and alignment with what is genuine.

Monday

Conjunction of the Sun and the North Lunar Node in Pisces
Aspect influence ≈ March 14–20
March 17, 2025, 5:02 PM Warsaw / 9:02 AM Santa Fe

This conjunction creates a space for profound spiritual transformation. It’s a moment when we may feel an intense urge to seek new paths aligned with our inner truth and the voice of intuition. Pisces reminds us that life isn’t limited to logic and tangible outcomes but is also woven with dreams, boundless imagination, and a connection to something greater than ourselves.

However, the accompanying opposition to the South Node in Virgo presents a challenge—to free ourselves from old patterns of control and overanalyzing. Virgo keeps us bound to the familiar and safe, whereas Pisces invites us to open ourselves to the unknown. This is a time to find balance—to trust our vision for the future while using past experiences harmoniously to grow in awareness and spiritual fulfillment.

Neptune Cazimi in Pisces
March 20, 2025, 12:25 AM Warsaw / March 19, 5:25 PM Santa Fe

Neptune Cazimi in Pisces is a moment imbued with an almost magical intensity when Neptune, the planet of mysticism and unity, sits at the heart of the Sun, receiving a powerful influx of energy. During this brief moment, before Neptune moves away from a direct conjunction at 17 degrees, this configuration opens a portal to the deepest realms of spirituality. It reminds us of a world where the boundaries of material reality fade, giving us a chance to experience unity with something far beyond.

This is a time to connect with infinite Consciousness through intuition and a shared empathy for all living things. It’s no coincidence that this event occurs just before the Sun transitions into the sign of Aries. There’s a subtle tension between the mystical insights of Pisces and the bold drive to take action, characteristic of Aries. It’s as if the Universe is asking us whether we can merge ethereal visions with the courage to begin something new.

Spring Equinox – The Sun in Aries
March 20, 2025, 10:02 AM Warsaw / 3:02 AM Santa Fe

We arrive at a special moment in the year when day equals night, symbolizing harmony and balance. This is a transition from winter’s stillness into the awakening energy of spring, marking the beginning of a new astrological year. The Sun leaves the emotional and intuitive waters of Pisces to enter Aries’ dynamic and fiery energy. This is the astrological “point zero”—the start of the zodiac’s annual cycle.

The Sun’s entry into Aries right after Neptune Cazimi in Pisces creates a rare energetic landscape. While Cazimi guides us inward, dissolving the barrier between ego and the transcendent to offer a bird’s-eye view of our reality, Aries brings an entirely new energy. It’s an explosion of vitality, encouraging bold action, decisive choices, and the opening of new doors.

Aries, as the zodiac’s first sign, carries the primordial spark of life—passion, courage, and at times, impatience. It’s the energy of birth that inspires us to begin anew but with the calm breath and intuition awakened by Pisces. The Spring Equinox isn’t just an astronomical event; it’s nature’s call for regeneration and a personal reminder to trust our strength and move towards fresh beginnings.

Friday

Sextile of Retrograde Venus in Aries and Pluto in Aquarius
March 21, 2025, 10:32 PM Warsaw / 3:32 PM Santa Fe

The sextile of retrograde Venus in Aries and Pluto in Aquarius carries intense and transformational energy that influences not just personal relationships but also how we see ourselves as part of a larger whole. It’s a moment that opens our eyes to collective patterns and the web of connections we are all part of. This alignment allows us to understand how our individual choices, desires, and boundaries shape the world around us.

Retrograde Venus in impulsive Aries urges us to reflect on what we truly expect from love, while also showing us where healthy boundaries are needed to maintain self-worth and independence. Meanwhile, Pluto in Aquarius brings awareness that our relationships exist within a broader system, where every interaction matters. It teaches us to build connections based on cooperation and authenticity, highlighting the imbalances we need to address.

This aspect invites an honest reevaluation of both personal and social ties, showing that only by balancing individuality with community can we create a more conscious and harmonious collective. It’s an energetic call to foster relationships that strengthen both ourselves and the world around us.

Saturday

North Node Shifts into Direct Motion
March 22, 2025, 7:31 AM Warsaw / 12:32 AM Santa Fe

The lunar nodes typically move in retrograde motion, so any shift into direct movement is a rare event, reminding us of the harmony of energies and the need to align with the cosmic rhythm. The North Node’s direct motion in Pisces creates space for more conscious action, deeper trust in intuition, and fuller commitment to spiritual growth and compassion.

Pisces carries the energy of introspection and invites us to release ego-driven patterns in favor of finding unity with Consciousness. This shift inspires us to boldly follow our soul’s guidance, sensitizes us to hidden meanings in daily life, and offers fresh perspectives on our path forward.

Sunday

Cazimi of Retrograde Venus in Aries
March 23, 2025, 2:07 AM Warsaw / March 22, 7:07 PM Santa Fe

The Cazimi of retrograde Venus is a rare moment shedding light on our relationships. Venus, the planet of love, values, and harmony, in her retrograde motion, traverses fiery Aries, bringing us the courage and necessity to confront unresolved matters within us. During Cazimi, when Venus sits at the Sun’s heart, we gain exceptional clarity and understanding.

It’s the perfect time to ask yourself what you truly desire in your relationships. Is there room for authenticity? Are your boundaries aligned with who you are today? Aries, full of passion and relentless energy, motivates action, but Venus’s retrograde offers balance, inviting thoughtful reflection on impulses and emotions.

This alignment brings intensity and a chance for deeper understanding—not only of yourself but also of the dynamics within the relationships you form. It’s an opportunity to break free from old patterns and dare to build bonds that resonate with your heart. The Cazimi of Venus in Aries is a moment of awakening, empowering you to start anew with honesty and a conscious approach to giving and receiving love.

Sextile of the Sun in Aries and Pluto in Aquarius
March 23, 2025, 8:31 PM Warsaw / 1:31 PM Santa Fe

The Sun in Aries, a fire sign, brings dynamism, courage, and persistence, encouraging us to take action and express our authenticity boldly. Meanwhile, Pluto in revolutionary Aquarius leads us to reflect on our role within the broader collective, offering the power to cleanse outdated structures that no longer serve the common good.

This alignment harmonizes the energies of individual potential and collective vision, reminding us that the greatest changes begin within. It’s a time to set courageous boundaries and act with full passion, yet align with a higher purpose. The energy of this sextile inspires to build bridges between who we are as individuals and what we can offer the world as part of a greater whole.
