I find myself truly drawn to the energy of this week. It holds the promise of profound, deeply transformative conversations. Venus in retrograde, which has accompanied us since last week, offers an ideal space for such dialogues. There may be a pause in our relationships, perhaps even a cooling of emotions. But let us not fear this—this interlude is necessary to rebuild our assertiveness, to clearly identify our needs, and to express them with precision. It marks the beginning of a new cycle. For some, this might mean the end of a relationship. If that happens, it’s worth remembering that perhaps what we were meant to give and receive has already been exchanged. Now it’s time for New Beginnings.

Mercury, moving assertively into the sign of Aries at the start of the week, ignites within us the energy to tackle fresh topics and inspire revitalizing conversations. Meanwhile, the North Node, retreating into Pisces, reminds us to shift our perspective to see the interconnectedness of all things. It’s a call to abandon division, for the old ways have reached their limit. We are creating a new paradigm, one in which each of us is unique yet part of the same essence.

By the end of the week, we will feel a surge to act in alignment with our intuition and hearts. Our focus will turn to our families—whether of blood, of choice, or even our galactic family. Within each of us resides a fragment of our cosmic siblings. There is no need to fear differences—we must transcend the fear of “otherness.” This is the challenge facing every species on every planet, including us Earthlings. Unity in diversity is one of the most evolutionary concepts. Humanity, as a blend of many galactic essences, reflects this cosmic community. When we truly embrace diversity and feel it as oneness, we will be ready to join it. Beyond race, gender, skin color, and beliefs—we all come from the same source. Breaking the fear of difference and opening our hearts to all beings is an essential step in our evolution.

This is the message for the week. Open yourself to what is different.

Monday

Mercury enters Aries
Influence ≈ March 3—May 11
March 3, 2025, 10:03 AM Warsaw / 2:03 AM Santa Fe

With Mercury entering Aries, our thought processes and communication become direct, dynamic, and bold. This transit, lasting until May 11, supports assertiveness and pioneering attitudes in our daily lives. Communication may take on a more honest—even confrontational—tone. People may express their opinions openly, paying little heed to subtleties. While this promotes rapid problem-solving, it can also lead to impulsive arguments.

Additionally, thinking speeds up, enabling quick decision-making. For some, this could mean heightened efficiency and action, yet the lack of patience might lead to mistakes or tensions. Mercury in Aries encourages innovative and unconventional problem-solving. Both in work and personal life, people may take bold initiatives, think outside the box, and build new solutions on old foundations. Increased self-confidence will be an asset in negotiations or setting boundaries.

However, it’s important to remain mindful of the risks of impulsive actions and not to overlook the consequences of words or decisions. Finding balance in the intensity of this energy will allow us to harness its potential while avoiding unnecessary conflicts.

Wednesday

Mercury in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius
Influence ≈ March 4–7
Peak: March 5, 2025, 2:12 PM Warsaw / 6:12 AM Santa Fe

Building on the boldness Mercury in Aries delivers earlier in the week, today’s sextile between Mercury and Pluto creates a unique energy of transformation in communication and thought. This aspect, active from March 4 to 7, allows for profound introspection and reveals the broader, collective significance of our actions.

Mercury emphasizes straightforwardness and speed in communication, which encourages brave conversations about long-postponed topics. Meanwhile, Pluto in Aquarius cuts through superficiality, uncovering truths and highlighting old, unproductive patterns that are begging for transformation. This sextile invites courage and dynamism, together with groundbreaking new approaches designed for the future.

On a personal level, this energy may inspire deep conversations that free us from outdated ways of thinking. Socially, it prompts a focus on the collective good. This is a perfect time to craft new visions that promote unity, progress, and authenticity.

Thursday

The North Node returns to retrograde motion
March 6, 2025, 7:19 AM Warsaw / March 5, 2025, 11:19 PM Santa Fe

The Lunar Nodes represent our spiritual evolution. While they typically move retrograde, brief periods of direct motion, like the one we’ve recently experienced, punctuate our path with intensified clarity and illumination. These moments direct our purpose, providing insight into the destination marked by the North Node.

The North Node in Pisces invites us to cultivate compassion, open our hearts, and recognize the unity that transcends divisions. It urges us to abandon selfish ambitions and follow a path of empathy and trust in intuition. With its return to retrograde motion, we are reminded that our spiritual growth involves harmonizing our actions with the whole, building cooperation and balance.

This is a time to quiet the mind and listen to the subtle whispers of intuition, which can guide us toward deeper understanding. Spiritual growth becomes a central element, urging us to see how each of our actions contributes to the greater field of existence.

Saturday

Trine between the Sun in Pisces and Mars in Cancer
Influence ≈ March 6–10
Peak: March 8, 2025, 6:12 AM Warsaw / March 7, 2025, 10:12 PM Santa Fe

By Saturday, the energies in play reach a crescendo as we experience a rare harmony between emotion, creative expression, and purposeful action grounded in care for loved ones. This trine creates the perfect atmosphere for expressing oneself with sensitivity, compassion, and spiritual depth while simultaneously encouraging decisive actions in areas concerning family, home, and personal comfort.

The Sun in Pisces infuses our actions with empathy and spiritual inspiration, making it easier to open our hearts and appreciate beauty in our connections with others. Meanwhile, Mars in Cancer, though intense and emotional, directs our energy toward nurturing those close to us. This may manifest in home-related projects like reorganizing spaces or engaging in collective family efforts, as well as fostering deeper relationships built on understanding.

This harmonious aspect enables us to channel intuition and emotion creatively. It fosters artistic expression, encourages the sharing of personal experiences, and motivates actions aimed at strengthening bridges in relationships. It’s also a time of greater inner comfort, ideal for easing tensions and conflicts, as the trine allows understanding and unity to flow naturally. However, it’s important to balance this emotional richness with practicality to avoid becoming lost in feelings without taking actionable steps.
