Weekly Horoscope: March 2 to March 8, 2025
Your weekly horoscope is here. Thereâs not much of a rudder this week, as itâs all get-up-and-go one minute, then diffusion the next. That means youâll need to set up an external framework or anchor of accountability. That could be a friend, a coach, or a group if youâre off the rails in terms of a goal, a project, or living your best life! Take this as a positiveâweâre social creatures. As the planet of communication heads into Aries on Monday, itâs best to be as direct as possible. Find the pointâthe tip of the sword. Less fluff, more calls to action. What do you mean to say? Say that. Write out your thoughts if youâre unclear. If youâre barking out direct orders like a military sergeant, youâre on the right track. With Venus backtracking through your little black book of memories, phone numbers, and DMs, love and style get a makeover. Check what (and who) youâve had on the back burner, who to take off the heat, and perhaps a shiny new love or friend interest to ignite your personal or professional life.
Read on to discover whatâs in store for your sign during the week of March 2 through March 8, 2025.
Aries (March 21âApril 19)Feeling a vibe? It may be Pisces season, but planets are already stacking up in Aries, with Venus having switched into retrograde on Saturday and Mercury jumping the starter gun into your sign on Monday. Venusâthe planet of love, values, relationships, attraction, style, and flirtingâis now in reverse, meaning youâll likely take a trip down memory lane. Slow down in the love and aesthetics department and take stock. Pay attention to what happens through April 12âare certain themes or people popping back up in person or in your memories? These are clues to the retrogradeâs influence on you personally. This could be a great time to go through old photos, organize, edit, or clear things out. You might reestablish a valuable connection or fine-tune one moving forward. With Mercury cruising through your sign, your mind is particularly sharp, so express yourselfâdonât hold back!
Taurus (April 20âMay 20)Your connection to the divine, dreams, and the ephemeral aspects of life takes center stage as Mercury swings into action in this zone. Expect an especially active imagination, vivid dreams, and a direct line to your symbolic mind. Hunches will be instantaneous, so remember the saying: âFirst thought, best thought.â Try to catch your original intuitive ideas before your brain reshapes them into something more familiar or palatable. Your ruling planet, Venus, is in retrograde through April 12 in this same sphere, meaning your relationship with your inner voice and spirituality is undergoing a review. Maybe itâs time to fully embrace that part of yourself and adopt a âme firstâ attitude. That might look like backing your most authentic selfâthe part of you that radiates from within. With Mars finally out of retrograde, nowâs the time to move forward on a course of action or get more engaged in your local community.
Gemini (May 21âJune 21)As planets begin to pile into your broader social sphere, itâs time to get out and about, Gemini. With Venus in retrograde in this sector, review your connectionsâhow you relate and whom youâre relating to. Is there a new version of you that youâre ready to introduce? A new social circle youâre prepared to join? A group youâre about to lead? Over the next few weeks, do your research without committing just yet. Retrogrades often bring ghosts of lovers past, so donât let their gaslight cast shadows on your present or future. Instead, view them as messengers and decipher the underlying story. With Mercuryâyour ruling planetâalso in this zone, party-hopping, networking, and picking up diverse connections and news will be beneficial.
Cancer (June 22âJuly 22)With Venusâthe planet of relationships, aesthetics, and loveâin retrograde, itâs time to assess whatâs working and whatâs not. How about the way you or someone else relates? Since this is happening in your career zone, changes are likelyâmaybe a shift in your work environment or the people you collaborate with. If youâre rebranding, refining your pricing, or upgrading your image, this is the perfect time to do so. Mercury is also in this sector, so be as direct as possible in your communications. Make sure your message is clear, while also being kindâbut not at the expense of clarity. A rebrand wouldnât be out of the question over the next couple of months, as styles are shifting. If youâre an early adopter, you could get ahead of the curve.
Leo (July 23âAugust 22)Itching for expansion, a trip to some exotic locale, or reaching a wider fan base? Well, the ever-charming Venus is in Aries, igniting your wanderlust! Venus just made an about-face into a retrograde, so reviewing this area of life and love is beneficial. Through April 12, follow your instincts on where you want to go, what you want to experience, and who you want by your side. If youâre traveling, studying, or connecting with others from abroadâor over big topicsâyouâre likely to experience Venusian pleasure and joy and feel a sense of being valued and loved. Since this is happening in Ariesâa fellow fire signâyouâll feel right at home with its energy. It supports a positive sense of self and self-expression, so donât hold back. With feel-good trips down memory lane and sparky, motivating connections coming in as Mercury moves into this zone on Tuesday, be inspired to create or lead.
Virgo (August 23âSeptember 22)Venus, the planet of pleasure, relationships, and aesthetics, is in a backspin through April 12, making this your time to look in the rearview mirror. Revisit people, aesthetics, and even style. Since this retrograde is happening in your sector of shared resources, you might find yourself sharing stories or encountering familiar facesâeither in real life or through those eerily sharp social media algorithms. Ghosts of lovers past? Highly likely! But donât hex that ex just yetâpay attention to the message their reappearance brings. These retrogrades follow a pattern, with this one picking up where the last one left off eight years ago. If you keep a journal, check back to March and April 2017 for clues. With Mercury also in this sector, polish your bedside mannerâdirect and assertive communication will get you what you want.
Libra (September 23âOctober 23)With Venus (your ruling planet) in the sign opposite yours, it might feel as if youâre experiencing this retrograde through someone else. All the more reason to go with the flow and embrace changes, no matter who initiates them. In the realm of one-on-one relationshipsâromantic, business, or friendshipsâitâs all about reviewing and course-correcting. Explore themes of independence, interdependence, and codependency. Where do you stand in your relationships, and where might some adjustments be beneficial? Since Venus rules love and connection, make sure your partnerships are as enthusiastic and mutually energizing as you are. You bring a lot to the table, so invest in yourself firstâwhen you do, youâll be the best partner not just to others, but to yourself.
Scorpio (October 24âNovember 21)Beauty, love, work, and wellness are under review as Venus shifts into retrograde mode. Take this time to reassess and make necessary course corrections. If changes arise, trust that theyâre guiding you toward a more authentic pathâtune in to your intuition and look for the upside. Now is a great time to refresh your work wardrobe, update your pricing, or reorganize your daily routine. If youâre considering a new fitness plan, experiment with different approachesâtake advantage of free trials, switch up your workouts, or set new goals. High-energy activities, weight training, or a fitness challenge could be exactly what you need. With Mercury also in this sector, itâs a good time to pioneer new ideas or stay ahead of valuable information. First in, best dressed!
Sagittarius (November 22âDecember 21)As Venusâthe planet of love, beauty, and valuesâretrogrades in your sector of leisure and romance, itâs time to reflect on these themes and how you spend your time. Since Aries, a fellow fire sign, is hosting this transit, you have strong support to make adjustments, reconnect with past creative passions, and enjoy nostalgic moments. This retrograde is an opportunity to revisit old hobbies, rekindle past romances, or fine-tune your approach to pleasure. What makes you feel most alive? Make space for that. Since spontaneity, competition, and pioneering energy are key themes, embrace a bit of risk-takingâit could lead to exciting new adventures. With Mercury also in this zone, your creativity and communication skills are on fire. Test out fresh ideas and see where they lead.
Capricorn (December 22âJanuary 19)Whether you organize your decor ideas through Pinterest boards, magazine clippings, or color swatches, if youâre feeling the urge for a domestic refresh, nowâs the time. Consider whether your environment could better support your work, happiness, and relationships. Research, plan, and after April 12, either start your project or put the finishing touches on it. Relationships at home may also benefit from the retrograde treatment. Use this time to discuss how love and support are given and received. Pass the talking stick, listen, and share your love language. These things evolve, so itâs worth having an open conversation. Since Venus is in Ariesâan energy that likes to take chargeâyou may find that everyone in your household wants to be the boss. Dividing responsibilities fairly or setting up a leadership rotation could help.
Aquarius (January 20âFebruary 18)Your local connections are getting a shake-up as Venus retrogrades in this area. Changes could come from external shifts, but your own approach to communication is also up for review. Take some time to reflect: What types of interactions do you enjoy? Which ones drain you? What would you like to change? As times evolve and a new generation comes up behind you, you may feel drawn to mentor, share knowledge, or simply connect in fresh ways. Thereâs a youthful quality to this timeâyour ideas could align with emerging trends more than you realize. With Mercury buzzing through this area starting Tuesday, expect lively conversations, unexpected encounters, and new perspectives. Strike up conversations with people youâre drawn toâyou never know what valuable message you may have for one another.
Pisces (February 19âMarch 20)With Venus retrograding in your zone of values, money, and resources, itâs time for a financial review. Are you earning, spending, and investing in alignment with what truly matters to you? This is a prime opportunity to adjust pricing, explore new income sources, or reevaluate how you handle financial commitments. New technology is making certain skills more accessible to the masses, but that also highlights the value of handcrafted, bespoke experiences. Whether youâre a creator or a consumer, use this time to reassess what holds real worth for you. Expect relationships to benefit from a more direct and open approachâno sugarcoating. In style and aesthetics, bold colors and energy take the lead. Want to boost your confidence? Wear red. Itâs a power color this season.
