The week of March 3-9 sees Mercury entering Aries, enhancing communication but coinciding with Venus’s retrograde, leading to heightened emotions. Each zodiac sign receives specific guidance, suggesting a mix of self-reflection, open communication, and careful decision-making as themes emerge around personal worth, creativity, and interpersonal dynamics. It’s a week to be mindful of words and actions amid emotional undercurrents.
Astrology enthusiasts, brace yourselves. The week from March 3 to 9 marks a significant astrological period, with Mercury sliding into Aries for the entirety of spring. Communication will be more fiery and energetic, enabling us to focus more easily. But remember, Venus is retrograde as well, triggering a period where we might feel crabby, unheard, and, yes, combative.
From the past Venus retrograde, we linger on memories of last summer when a similar vibe swept through our skies. Reflecting back on March and April 2017 can also provide insights. Now isn’t the moment for big changes in appearance, fresh relationships, or splurges. Sure, there’s a chance of rekindling an ex, but it’s more likely actual breakups will happen amidst this turbulence. With Pisces swimming in emotional waters and Aries bristling with energy, we need to show ourselves and others some compassion.
Aries (March 21 – April 19): Your words are powerful this week. With Mercury lighting up your sign, your communication skills are on fire. Speak your mind, but listening is equally important. If you’re feeling unsure about how you present yourself—physically or emotionally—consider chatting with someone who can reflect back your true self. Take a moment before you respond, Aries.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20): This week, your subconscious might be quite vocal. Give yourself permission to hit pause on plans or, heck, take a day off to lounge around. If a thought keeps popping up, it’s worth investigating. Embrace the quiet and realise how restorative solitude can be, Taurus.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20): Social interactions will be vital, so keep your energy levels charged. Though Mercury in Aries enhances your networking abilities, choose your chats carefully. Not every argument needs an answer, nor every friend a debate. If someone challenges your views, don’t brush it off; there might be valuable lessons there. Remember, last words aren’t everything, Gemini.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22): This week, your career demands your attention. The cosmos are nudging you to step up and campaign for what you want. Don’t wait for approval on decisions you know need to happen—just commit and act. A to-do list won’t cut it, Cancer.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22): Restlessness is on the horizon. You might find your feelings shifting about something you once desired. Now is the time to voice your need for something more fulfilling. Whether it’s a new adventure, hobby, or change in viewpoint, embrace what excites you and go for it, Leo!
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 23): Honesty will be crucial this week. Mercury in Aries encourages meaningful talks about intimacy, trust, and finances. Authentic relationships sometimes require a bit of messiness. If you’ve been dodging hard conversations regarding boundaries or commitments, tackle them now. Let go of the urge to control everything, Virgo.
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22): Step up and take charge in your relationships this week. If you’re noticing a power struggle, express what you need. Being straightforward isn’t just beneficial for you; it fosters connection with others. So, stop sidestepping and communicate clearly, Libra.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21): You might want to examine your daily habits closely. Mercury shining in Aries can reveal what drains your energy—from sleep routines to stress management. If something feels off, it probably is. Don’t just think about making changes; actually do it. Small shifts can lead to significant impacts, Scorpio.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21): Your creativity is reawakened as passion returns this week. Whether it’s through arts, romance, or some light-hearted fun, indulge in what makes you feel alive. Self-expression isn’t optional; it’s essential. Say “yes” to joy and adventure.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19): A conversation about personal matters or home life is necessary. Clarify what you need from family or others around you. Are you stuck in old emotional patterns? Break them. State your needs clearly and establish a sturdy foundation that nurtures you, Capricorn.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18): Your words have weight this week—be careful how you wield them. With Mercury in Aries, your communications might get sharper, but you should consider your tone, especially in quick messages where things can be misconstrued. Sometimes, no reply is the best reply, Aquarius.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20): This week, issues of money, self-worth, and stability take centre stage. It’s critical to assess what you value both financially and emotionally. Are you settling for less than you deserve? Go ahead and ask for that pay rise or set new boundaries. Remember, your worth is greater than you think.
