Weekly Forecast for March 10-16, 2025

Note:  the dates in this forecast are for Pacific to Eastern time.  

Unless I provide a specific timeframe, we’ll feel the energies 24-72 hours in advance of the date I mention (the date when the planetary alignment is exact).  They will be gaining in strength as they approach the date.  We will also feel them for 24-48 hours after, but they will be losing strength with each passing hour.

If you follow world news, then you know the last week was very intense.  Astrologically speaking,  March 2025 is the beginning of some massive shifts that will come into full force in 2026.  

My blog forecast for 2025 provides a quick summary of this year's energies, and my pre-recorded webinar "Navigating 2025" is a much deeper dive.  One of the predictions was the high likelihood of the USA going to war, although not necessarily involving the military.  And, sadly, that's playing out as the tariff war that the US administration initiated.  You can still order the webinar! The biggest shifts of the year are still coming. 

Back to this week... March is intense, and the intensity is starting to come in big time this week.  Venus is already retrograde, as of March 1, so don't book any new cosmetic procedures, especially of the expensive kind.  Save that radical haircut for late April.  And, if you're single, use this time to heal blocks to love and to reflect on what it is you TRULY need in a relationship. 

But this week, to add to Venus Retrograde, Mercury enters its Storm on March 11 and turns retrograde on March 14.  This week is a high danger zone for Mercury-Rx related mishaps, so if you must sign a contract, read the fine print.  Proofread important emails.  Give yourself lots of time to get to important appointments.

And, the eclipse energies start coming in this week, culminating in a Lunar Eclipse in Virgo on March 13 at 11:55 p.m. PDT.  So this entire week can feel emotionally charged. The eclipse energy is volatile, and it can be difficult to make a sound decision during the eclipse season, so if you can, save major decision-making for April. 

On the plus side, this Lunar Eclipse is fantastic for is to ask the Universe to help you let go of anything that is no longer in your best interest,  especially if there is something you're having a hard time letting go of!

Eclipses in Virgo, in particular, can shake up employment stability, bring unexpected changes in the job market, and bring shake-ups around borders (including country borders).  And wow, all of that is certainly playing out already!  

In personal matters, this week is also very helpful for making amends with your current or ex partner, and for having a long, mature conversation about your relationship.  

✨  March 11:  Mercury conjunct Venus Rx

If you want to make amends with a current or ex romantic partner, March 10-11 bring helpful energies.  

✨  March 12:  the Sun conjunct Saturn

A good day for having a long, mature conversation about your relationship and its future.  At work, work WITH your boss.  Don't challenge them heads-on.  There will be time for it another day.   You might feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders.  Do something nice for yourself. 

✨ March 13, 11:55 p.m. PDT:  Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse at 23° Virgo.  

As all Lunar Eclipses, this Full Moon is extra powerful!  Work with its energy to release perfectionism, tendency to judge or be critical of yourself (or others), feeling like you're never good enough, unhealthy habits, excessive weight, and the clutter that doesn’t serve you (emotional or physical).

✨March 14:  Mercury turns retrograde

The eclipse energy is still high, and will be felt for another 2-3 days.  And, Mercury turns retrograde today... remember, this entire week is very tense.  Practice grounding.  Work with obsidian, tourmaline, smokey quartz or red tiger eye. 

✨March 16:  Moon Void of Course

I close my weekly forecasts with the times the Moon is void of course, but I wanted to specifically draw your attention to this one.  The Moon will stay void of course for almost 22 hours - see the exact times below.   For all of you action-oriented souls out there, it really is best to chill and relax this Sunday!

Moon Void of Course:

Avoid starting anything new that you want to succeed, during these timeframes:

• March 11, 1:16 p.m. to March 12, 12:56 a.m. PDT
• March 14, 10:47 a.m. to 11:59 a.m. PDT
• March 16, 2:53 a.m. to March 17 12:30 a.m. PDT
