A Week of Reflection and Realignment
The Goddess Bhadrakali Manifests in a Sunlike Orb ca. 1660-70
This week carries a deep undercurrent of introspection and change. We begin with the Moon in Leo, encouraging self-expression and confidence, but as the days unfold, the energy shifts toward refinement, responsibility, and reevaluation. The Mercury-Venus rx conjunction in Aries on Tuesday urges us to reconsider how we communicate love, appreciation, and desire, setting the stage for deep contemplation. By Wednesday, the Sun-Saturn conjunction in Pisces initiates a year-long process of effort and illumination in a specific area of life. Wherever Pisces falls in your natal chart, a new foundation is being laid.
Friday’s Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo is the defining moment of the week, marking a turning point in the Virgo-Pisces polarity of your chart. This eclipse is part of a longer cycle, signaling changes that will unfold over time. What was seeded at the Virgo New Moon on September 14, 2023, may now reach a moment of realization or redirection. The Sun’s sextile to Uranus offers flashes of insight and unexpected shifts, while the Moon’s move into Libra moves our attention to balance and relationships.
As the weekend arrives, Mercury stations retrograde on Saturday, joining Venus in a period of deep contemplation and reconsideration. With both planets in retrograde motion, we are asked to rethink our choices, reassess our values, and refine the way we communicate. The Libra Moon reminds us that the way we relate to others reflects our inner state. Patience, presence, and self-honesty will be our greatest allies as we navigate this introspective and transformational week.
EMBRACE YOUR FIRE – Monday, March 10, 2025
The Moon in Leo calls for boldness, creativity, and a willingness to step into the spotlight. This is a day to move with confidence, to express yourself. Whether it’s through your words, your work, or the way you carry yourself, there’s an underlying desire to be seen and valued—not just for what you do but for who you are at your core. The world responds to authenticity, and today offers an opportunity to show up in a way that feels true to your heart.
However, the Leo Moon isn’t just about external recognition but also about inner alignment. If your actions aren’t rooted in genuine passion, you might feel an uncomfortable dissonance. Pay attention to where enthusiasm sparks within you. If something feels like a struggle, ask yourself whether it’s aligned with what you love or if you’re simply following the path of least resistance or the one that is expected. This is a day to recalibrate, to shift from performing for others to creating from within.
- Where in my life do I crave more recognition, and is it coming from within or from others?
- How can I express myself more authentically today?
- Am I making choices that truly light me up, or am I settling for what feels safe?

PATTERNS REVEALED – Tuesday, March 11, 2025
The Leo Moon continues shining its warm, steady light, encouraging confidence and creativity. There’s a natural pull toward self-expression, authenticity, courage, and self-respect. If you feel tension between your desires and your current reality, take it as a sign to recalibrate, not retreat.
Meanwhile, Mercury meets retrograde Venus in Aries, igniting a powerful moment of reflection around love, values, and communication. This isn’t just about past relationships or old conversations, it’s about understanding how your voice shapes your connections today. Pay attention to the words left unsaid, awareness that surfaces unexpectedly, or the patterns that reveal themselves. This conjunction sparks thought and desire, intellect and affection. Find where Aries falls in your natal chart—this house holds the space that draws your attention, offering you an opportunity to consider your path toward authentic growth.
- How has my way of expressing love and appreciation evolved throughout my lifetime?
- Where am I being called to speak what is true for me more boldly?

PLANT A SEED OF COMMITTMENT – Wednesday, March 12, 2025
The Moon quietly shifts into Virgo in the early hours, bringing a subtle yet noticeable shift in energy. Where yesterday’s Leo Moon craved recognition and expression, today, the Virgo Moon seeks refinement and purpose. Tend to the details of your life, organize your thoughts, and take practical steps forward. There’s comfort in small victories—crossing something off a to-do list, finding clarity in a conversation, or simply feeling more in stable in your environment. Honor the little things that bring order to your inner and outer world.
Meanwhile, the Sun meets Saturn in Pisces, marking the beginning of a year-long cycle of facing reality and taking responsibility in a specific area of your life. Wherever Pisces falls in your natal chart, this will be the focus. Potential and limitation are highlighted here. It’s time to plant a serious seed of commitment to what is best for you in this area. This commitment will require patience and effort but has the power to bring long-term stability and meaning. Nothing will come out of this quickly but it will have a lasting impact. What do you want to build here, and are you willing to put in the effort required?
- What area of my life is asking for more structure and commitment?
- How can I balance discipline with trust in the unknown?
- What small but meaningful step can I take today to support long-term growth?
BEAUTY IN THE DETAILS – Thursday, March 13, 2025
With the Moon continuing its journey through Virgo, there’s a quiet but steady call to focus on what truly matters. This is not a day for dramatic leaps or bold declarations but for the kind of progress that happens through patience, diligence, and attention to detail. There is something deeply grounding about tending to the small things, the tasks that often go unnoticed but create the foundation for a more balanced and harmonious life. Virgo should always remind us that small, mindful actions hold immense power. A single step in the right direction, repeated consistently, can lead to profound transformation.
Along with productivity, the Virgo Moon encourages mindfulness. Are you present in the moment, or are you rushing through tasks just to check them off a list? Are you showing yourself the same patience and care that you extend to others? In refining the way you move through your day, you have the opportunity to find deeper peace and clarity.
- Where in my life would a small, thoughtful adjustment create a meaningful improvement?
- How can I bring more mindfulness into my daily routines?
- Am I allowing perfectionism to slow me down, or am I embracing progress over flawlessness?

The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo reaches its peak in the wee hours of the morning (Eastern Time Zone). This casts a light and our attention on the balance or the tension across the Virgo-Pisces axis in your chart. This eclipse signals the beginning of a larger cycle of change that will unfold over the coming years. Pay attention to what is being illuminated in this area of your life, as this polarity speaks to the dance between structure and surrender, practicality and intuition, and order and chaos. Look to the houses in your natal chart that hold Virgo and Pisces, this is where you can anticipate shifts, closures, and new beginnings in the years ahead.
Eclipses bring moments of powerful change, often tied to seeds planted approximately 6 months before. Think back to the Virgo New Moon on September 14, 2023—what intentions did you set then? This Full Moon may bring clarity, results, or the need for adjustment in those areas. Trust that whatever is surfacing now is part of a greater unfolding, even if the full picture isn’t yet clear.
Adding to the interest of the day, the Sun forms a sextile to Uranus early in the morning, offering flashes of insight and unexpected opportunities. If you’re feeling stuck, this aspect encourages a shift in perspective. Sometimes, the most liberating changes come from a simple willingness to open our eyes and see things differently. By late afternoon, the Moon moves into Libra, softening some of the intensity and shifting the focus toward harmony, balance, and connection.
- What themes have emerged in my life since September, and what is being revealed now?
- How can I embrace both structure and surrender in this moment of change?
- What unexpected insights or shifts can I welcome with curiosity instead of resistance?
REEVALUATE & RETHINK – Saturday, March 15, 2025
In the early hours, Mercury stations retrograde, joining Venus in its reflective journey. With both of these personal planets retracing their steps, the coming weeks will ask us to slow down and reassess. Mercury retrograde is often associated with external disruptions such as miscommunications, delays, and technical glitches, but its true work is internal. This is a time for rethinking, reviewing, and refining, particularly when it comes to how we communicate, make decisions, and align our actions with our values. With Venus also retrograde, there is a deeper layer to this process. Over the coming weeks, we will have many opportunities to reexamine what truly matters to us and how our words and choices reflect our priorities.
The Moon remains in Libra, emphasizing the role of diplomacy and connection with others in this period of reflection. Conversations may loop back to unresolved topics, old dynamics might resurface, and perspectives could shift in unexpected ways. Instead of rushing for answers, practice patience. Understanding is unfolding in layers, and clarity will come in time.
- What recurring thoughts or themes in my life are asking for deeper exploration?
- How do my current values differ from those I held in the past?
- Where can I create more space for listening, both to myself and to others?
