As if Venus retrograde in fiery Aries wasn’t challenging enough, she’s joined on Friday by Mercury, information and communication influencer, for the first of three annual retrogrades. Add the full moon eclipse and don’t expect a dull week… Here’s your weekly horoscope for March 10–16, 2025.
Pisces, Feb 20–Mar 20
Venus and Mercury in go-slow mode in your money zone extend a valuable opportunity for Pisces to reassess, address and reset financial affairs. So, it’s advisable to have your discernment filters on their most eyes-wide-open settings. Take a break from helping others at the full moon and treat yourself.
Aries, Mar 21–Apr 21
With Venus and Mercury retrograde in your sign, it could take your best efforts to stay focused on the positive this week. Try not to be overcritical of anyone, especially yourself, during this week’s judgmental full moon eclipse. Take it easy; take time out. Don’t rush. Breathe, relax, and be kind.
Taurus, Apr 22–May 21
This week’s retrograde and eclipse energies support downsizing and/or decluttering, along with getting some healthy routines in place, though keep these simple and achievable. Take life slow and steady, and at the full moon, tune in, and give yourself a dose of nature’s enduring beauty, tranquillity, and renewal.
Gemini, May 22–Jun 22
Gemini’s astro-boss Mercury has a short attention span this week, and its signal-scrambling retrograde cycle can multiply misunderstandings, skew schedules, and bring people from the past back for another round. The good news? Your mission is to find that wherever you can. Even better, there’s plenty around.
Cancer, Jun 23–Jul 23
This week’s moon news features a full lunar eclipse on 14 March activating your sector of health, routines, and service. Use this clarifying energetic to check how well your daily habits are supporting you, to finesse the details of your life from workflow to nutritional input to overall wellbeing.
Leo, Jul 24–Aug 23
A full moon eclipse rocking your money zone for the first time since 2016 could bring clarity about moving forward — or not — with a financial venture. And since this is also an astrologically enhanced week for an honest life edit, some surprising and eye-opening realizations might surface on this week’s menu.
Virgo, Aug 24–Sep 23
Virgo full moon on 14 March is your annual date to celebrate your achievements, whether that’s streamlined systems, sensible health regimes and/or helpful service to others. And, taking advantage of the lunar eclipse, to gently direct your persistent perfectionista towards ever more creative and enjoyable ways of managing responsibilities.
Libra, Sep 24–Oct 23
This week’s desperately in need of Libran diplomacy, so conduct discussions with empathy and courtesy so people feel heard and understood, and others can see how it’s done. Be sure to reward yourself by spending some quality time near, or preferably in, water, whether ocean, pool, bath or spa.
Scorpio, Oct 24–Nov 22
Venus retrograde always offers a chance to bid love stories or friendship sagas that have run their course a fond farewell. Alternatively, as this week’s starmix suggests, give them a radical revamp. Yes, arguments might flare, but they’ll clear the air. Just try not to burn bridges.
Sagittarius, Nov 23–Dec 21
Both Venus and Mercury reversing in your self-expression sector constitute one of your premier foot-in-mouth transits, so edit before uttering this week. Use this golden opportunity to refine your communication style from the verbal equivalent of a blunt instrument to inspirational mouth music, which you can do better than anyone.
Capricorn, Dec 22–Jan 20
This week’s full moon in a compatible fellow earth sign supports programs dear to Capricorn hearts: breaking projects into actionable steps, installing efficient systems, volunteering, organising digital spaces, refining eating routines, streamlining work schedules to reduce stress and, even more important, enjoying fun times with your homies.
Aquarius, Jan 21–Feb 19
Venus and Mercury rogue in your connection zone suggest revisiting and resolving any issues in your friend circle. Eclipses tend to activate turning points via sudden events necessitating a change of direction, and this week is likely to find you considering, maybe even test-driving, an unexpected new offer.
