And we are back for another energetic update! Officially in March, we are getting closer to our Spring Equinox, when the astrology wheel begins again! When I tapped into the energy I heard "Let's Get Loud" by JLo but also felt the need to sit my ass down, so this week is going to be one that promises some spice as well as some stability. As March 3 to March 9, 2025, unfolds, we are greeted by a unique blend of energies that offer grounding, bold communication, and reflective insights.
Energy as of Monday
The week begins with the Moon in Taurus, bringing a sense of steady and grounded energy. When the moon is in Taurus, it encourages us to focus on self-care, establish financial stability, and create comforting routines. The methodical energy of Taurus inspires us to cultivate patience and emphasizes building a secure foundation for future endeavors. However, Taurus is often resistant to change, which can make some feel stuck or hesitant. Monday is all about the pause before the action. Rather than rushing into action, give yourself time to breathe deeply. Simple grounding practices, such as taking a walk in a local park or practicing mindfulness through meditation, can provide clarity. In other words, go touch some grass on Monday!
While the Moon is telling us to take a moment, Mercury entering Aries tells our communication style to shift to one that is more direct and bolder. This change can quicken the pace of decision-making. While confidence is a significant asset, it’s essential to avoid impulsiveness. You have to take the pause before you put your foot in your mouth with this energy. Coming from someone who has their natal Mercury in Aries (retrograde nonetheless), the pause is essential. Taking a moment to reflect before speaking can help prevent misunderstandings.
New to This Week
Venus began her retrograde back on Saturday and will be doing so until April 12th. While Venus is in retrograde, we are prompted to examine relationships, self-worth, and finances closely. Venus is all about love, relationships, beauty, pleasure, values, and creativity so when this planet retrogrades, we see a major highlight in those areas across the board for the collective. Though Aries often seeks instant gratification, this retrograde period invites patience. It’s an ideal time for reflecting on what we value in our relationships and how those values affect our self-esteem.
Midweek, the First Quarter Moon in Gemini infuses the atmosphere with lively intellectual energy. This lunar phase promotes flexibility and curiosity, making it a fantastic time for brainstorming and creative problem-solving. The airy energy of the Gemini Moon pushes us to explore different perspectives, enhancing our ability to adapt. However, this influx of mental energy can also provoke distractions and overthinking. To counteract this, challenge yourself to focus on one task at a time. Using organizational tools, such as lists or time-blocking methods, can help you stay committed.
Remember, now with Mercury in Aries, our communication takes on an assertive and quick-witted quality. This influence highlights the importance of expressing your truth confidently. However, it is equally crucial to avoid rash reactions or heated exchanges. Being articulate and intentional in your communication will foster better connections during this period. Consider planning conversations strategically. Practicing active listening can ensure your messages are received as intended, allowing others the space to express their thoughts as well.
How to Maximize This Week’s Energy
With the planets playing a little bit of yoyo, now is a great time to focus on the following to get through the week:
Ground Yourself
Maximize the grounding energy of Taurus at the beginning of the week by focusing on self-care routines and consistent financial planning. Engage in relaxing activities that promote well-being, such as yoga, meditation, or spending time outdoors. This week, quality self-care is essential for maintaining balance and mental clarity.
Think Before You Speak
As Mercury influences communication, practicing intentionality in your responses is vital. Take a moment to pause and reflect before voicing your thoughts. Slow down your speech, and consider the desired outcomes when engaging in discussions. The energy is going to want you to blab and say what is on your mind and say it from your chest so make sure those words don't start a battle you aren't ready to fight.
Reflect on Love & Money
During Venus retrograde, it's crucial to evaluate your relationships and financial habits thoughtfully. Instead of making hasty decisions, think about what truly aligns with your values. Identify any necessary adjustments in your relationships or spending practices.
Stay Flexible
The Gemini Moon promotes adaptability and open-mindedness. As new ideas and changes arise, be willing to explore these opportunities. Embracing shifts in plans or perspectives can lead to personal growth instead of frustration.
Additionally, prepare for the upcoming Mercury retrograde. Shadow period starts Monday and Mercury begins to retrograde March 15th, so I would say start now and thank me later. Start by backing up important files and reviewing any plans or commitments. Being proactive can help alleviate challenges that may arise during the retrograde phase.
This week promises a blend of stability and reflection against a backdrop of bold communication. By grounding ourselves in self-care, being mindful of our words, and embracing the shifts that arise, we can navigate these energies effectively. As we progress through this diverse energetic landscape, may you find a balance that supports your personal journey.
Until next time,
xoxo
