Energies of the Week March 17-23, 2025 ✨🎇🌸
Spring Equinox, Venus Star Point

We find ourselves at a pivotal threshold between two eclipses, a time of uncertainty, chaos, and transformation—where nothing is accidental, and the unseen currents of fate touch everything.

 The Lunar Eclipse in Virgo on March 14 initiated a profound process of purification that will unfold over the next six months, bringing profound realizations, necessary endings, and the opportunity to transcend limitations through sacred healing. As we await the Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 29—concluding a two-year cycle of redefining roles, relationships, and life direction—this week becomes a bridge between what has been and what is yet to come.

This week also brings the Spring Equinox for the Northern Hemisphere—the first day of the astrological year. The energies imprinted at this moment will influence the next three months, making the celestial alignments particularly significant.

Meanwhile, Mercury, retrograde in Aries since March 15, retraces Venus’ steps, stationing at degrees deeply intertwined with the eclipses. This signals the necessity of inner work and reconsiderations until mid-April, urging us to reflect, recalibrate, and refine our path before stepping into the next phase of our evolution

🎇🌸On Monday, March 17, the Sun conjoins the North Node at 27° Pisces, amplifying sensitivity, compassion, and intuition. This alignment may bring karmic events and encounters, guiding us toward our destiny—especially for those with key placements in the final degrees of Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces). It is a sacred checkpoint, inviting surrender to the unknown, trusting that our true path is being revealed within uncertainty.

On the same day, Mercury’s semi-square to Uranus at 9° Aries – 24° Taurus reflects the turbulence and unpredictability of the moment. It may trigger communication breakdowns, technological glitches, impatience, heightened tension, and unexpected revelations that challenge past decisions. This energy particularly affects young people, children, and pets.

Despite its disruptive nature, this planetary aspect serves as an invitation to shift our mindset, embrace experimentation, process recent and upcoming changes, and start adapting to new realities unfolding.

While the following days lack major planetary aspects, Thursday, March 20, marks the final conjunction of the Sun and Neptune in Pisces at 29°, the anaretic degree where a great cycle of spiritual awakening concludes. This rare conjunction intensifies divine connection, bringing mystical experiences, prophetic dreams, and profound revelations. The 29th degree of Pisces symbolizes absolute faith, where devotion to a higher vision can manifest miracles or a graceful completion.

With Neptune in Cazimi, bathed in the Sun’s light, this moment becomes a cosmic revelation—illusions dissolve, hidden truths emerge, and the veil between seen and unseen realms thins. Consciousness merges with dreams and the divine, offering deep inspiration and soul-level truths.

Yet, this culmination may also signify a crucial ending or a final sacrifice, releasing us from what no longer serves our evolution before we take the next step. The impact of this aspect depends on our level of awareness and may bring enlightenment or confusion, depending on how we receive it.

Observe where this conjunction falls in your chart. Allow events to guide you. Pay attention to dreams, synchronicities, and strong intuitions—these are powerful signposts of a higher plan.

This is the time to seek healthy forms of escape, to confront vulnerability through acts of love, spiritual work, art, and meditation, and, through these, to receive guidance for the new beginning ahead.

🎇🌸On Thursday, March 20, the Sun🎇enters Aries♈ushering in the Spring Equinox for the Northern Hemisphere, and the start of the astrological New Year! A new cycle of awakening begins—one filled with inspiration, bold decisions, and daring endeavors that bring us closer to our true desires.

Yet, this year’s Spring renewal will not be instant. It will unfold in phases of realization and possible delays. The retrograde motion of Mercury and Venus reminds us that we cannot move forward without first revisiting unfinished dreams, unfullfilled desires and unresolved matters, before moving forward with integrity and clarity.

🎇🌸On Friday, March 21, retrograde Venus forms a sextile with Pluto at 3° Aries – Aquarius, activating degrees associated with love and profound healing. This aspect stirs intense emotions, particularly for early Fire and Air signs, and may revive past desires, alliances, or loves that were complex but left deep imprints.

If this aspect affects you, it will bring you face-to-face with the past, urging you to clarify what is worth holding onto and what keeps you bound to it. It will push you to ask: Which investments of the heart were worth the pain? Were past wounds in vain, or did they lead to something meaningful?

Here, Pluto in Aquarius does not just ask you to remember but to transform your desires and shift how you love. This is a moment to see love not as possession but as a force that liberates you without losing you. Most importantly, it asks you to commit to what you truly want.

🎇🌸On Saturday, March 22, the Last Quarter Moon 🌗occurs at 02° Capricorn♑—a lunar phase urging maturity and foresight in handling challenges and completing what no longer works. If you belong to the early degrees of Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), you may feel weighed down by fears, responsibilities, and the need to sever ties with the past. Though the pressure may be strong, the best course now is to begin releasing, making space for the upcoming Aries New Moon Eclipse and its new energies.

🎇🌸On Sunday, March 23, a major celestial event takes place: the inferior conjunction of retrograde Venus and the Sun at 2° Aries, activating the Venus Star Point and initiating a new Synodic Cycle lasting until October 2026.

As Venus disappears into the Sun’s light to be reborn as a Morning Star, she undergoes an alchemical process—surrendering desires, weaknesses, past wounds, and old ways of being to reinvent herself. She will re-emerge with renewed passion, courage, and clarity about what truly matters.

Key themes of this Aries Synodic Cycle include restoring honesty and directness in relationships, balancing feminine and masculine principles, strengthening self-esteem, confidence, self-love, initiative, and passion for life. This is the time to express ourselves boldly and claim what we truly want and deserve.

This new Venusian cycle will remind us that love is not just a feeling but also an action. If the past nine months of Venus as an Evening Star were about contemplation and hesitation, this is the moment for courage and risk-taking.

On the same day, the Sun’s sextile with Pluto at 3° Aries – 3° Aquarius energizes degrees tied to love and transformation, enhancing determination, personal magnetism, and the ability to exert influence, and achieve even the most challenging goals—especially for early Fire and Air signs.

This aspect grants a strong sense of purpose and immense transformative energy to make necessary changes and fulfill one’s destiny.

For those willing to embrace their inner warrior, to burn away the old and step boldly into the new, this aspect serves as the cosmic spark.

This week heralds the dawn of a new era. Yet before we rush ahead, the Universe asks us to pause, look back, and ask ourselves:

What was left unfinished? Which dreams did we not dare to live? What do we truly desire? What still needs to be released?

The answers lie in the past, and this Spring will not fully bloom unless we first seek them.

Wishing you a blessed week and an illuminated Spring Equinox!✨🎇🌸🕊☮

With love💓💓💓
