Solar Eclipse in Aries – A New Fire Ignites!
Since Aries is associated with the theme of “I am,” this eclipse strongly supports individuals in asserting their true identity and carving out their own path. However, Mercury will be retrograde at 0° Aries during the eclipse, indicating a need to revisit old ideas before leaping forward. It’s not the time for impulsive action, but rather for inward reflection and gaining mental clarity first.
Cancer Mars: Sensitive Courage
At the time of the eclipse, Mars in Cancer forms a trine to the Venus-Neptune-Saturn conjunction in Pisces. This configuration brings emotional depth to our motivation. As we face challenges, there’s a tender strength and intuitive wisdom guiding us. Artistic inspiration, divine protection, and spiritual insight are heightened. Still, Neptune’s influence warns us to stay mindful of illusions – the line between reality and fantasy may blur.
The March 29, 2025 solar eclipse is not just the start of something new; it also marks the final chapter in the Aries-Libra eclipse cycle that began in the fall of 2023. In other words, we are witnessing the culmination of a major storyline that has unfolded over the past 1.5 years.

Aries – YOUR IDENTITY IS BEING REBORN
This eclipse kicks off a major transformation related to your sense of self. For the past 1.5 years, you’ve been in a cycle asking, “Who am I, and what do I really want?” You’ve had to reclaim your power outside of relationships and reconnect with your own worth. Now, this karmic chapter is closing, and a more clear, authentic version of you is emerging.
You may feel the urge to reinvent your identity, change your appearance, or shift your direction in life. But with Mercury retrograde, you’re being asked to reflect on your past decisions before charging ahead. Get clear on what truly motivates you. You’re ready to take action — but this time, let your inner voice guide the way.
A little question for you:
- What have you been fighting for over the past 1.5 years?
- Which area of life has the universe been urging you to say “I am”?
I hope you find the courage to enter a new chapter where you finally put yourself first.
Taurus – PURIFYING YOUR INNER WORLD
This eclipse leads you into deep inner awareness. For the past 1.5 years, you’ve battled with hidden burdens, suppressed emotions, and ties that needed to end. Maybe you’ve experienced loss or loneliness that pushed you to grow. Now, it’s time to release those inner weights and bring clarity to your mind and soul.
Your intuition is sharp during this time. Dreams, synchronicities, and gut feelings are speaking loudly. The eclipse falls in your 12th house — the realm of closures and healing. And with Mercury retrograde, feelings from the past may resurface. But know this: a spiritual rebirth is beginning.
A little question for you:
- What have you realized you need to let go of?
- Which emotional patterns are you done carrying?
I hope you find the strength to move forward with a lighter heart and a calmer inner world.
Gemini – WHO’S COMING WITH YOU?
Over the past 1.5 years, your friendships, collaborations, and long-term dreams have gone through major shifts. You’ve parted ways with some people, and perhaps some goals no longer spark the same excitement. This eclipse brings clarity to the question: “Who do I want to walk this path with now?”
The eclipse lights up your 11th house — the area of community, vision, and collective projects. You may join a group or take the lead in a new mission. But with Mercury retrograde, unfinished business with old friends or goals might come up.
A little question for you:
- Who truly shares your vision?
- Does the future you’re imagining still feel aligned?
I hope you surround yourself with people who support your vision and inspire you to build something meaningful together.
Cancer – FIND YOUR DIRECTION
This eclipse is deeply significant for you, opening a powerful door in your public and professional life. For the past 1.5 years, you’ve been juggling home and career, trying to maintain balance while managing responsibilities and uncertainty. Now, you’re on the verge of making a clear decision: “Who am I, and what do I truly want to do?”
The eclipse activates your 10th house — career, purpose, and visibility. Mars in your sign adds emotional drive, giving you motivation to make bold moves. But don’t rush; Mercury retrograde advises listening to your inner compass first.
A little question for you:
- In which area do you truly want to claim your space?
- How do you want to be seen by the world?
I hope you choose a path that honors who you are, without leaving yourself behind on the road to success.
Leo – YOUR EYES ARE ON THE HORIZON
This eclipse carries a bold, fiery energy that resonates deeply with you. Leo is the rising sign of the eclipse chart itself — the spotlight is truly on you! Over the past 1.5 years, your beliefs, worldview, and global connections have evolved. You’re now creating your own life philosophy.
The Solar eclipse falls in your 9th house: travel, education, higher wisdom, and spirituality. You might feel called to study something new, speak your truth more boldly, or pursue a dream abroad. Mercury retrograde might bring back an old vision or belief to reconsider.
A little question for you:
- When was the last time you acted bravely on something you believed in?
- Which vision makes you feel expansive and alive?
I hope you step into this new journey with courage, guided by the truth of your own heart.
Virgo – WHO ARE YOU GIVING YOUR POWER TO?
For the past 1.5 years, you’ve been diving deep into both material and emotional terrain. Maybe you’ve dealt with debts, losses, intense emotional entanglements, or experiences that touched your most vulnerable parts. Now, you’re rising again — this time, with strength forged from those very experiences.
The eclipse activates your 8th house: money, power, crises, and transformation. Themes around shared finances, inheritance, loans, or alimony may surface. On a deeper level, this is about understanding how power dynamics have played out in your life. Mercury retrograde is inviting you to face old fears, but with a more conscious mindset.
A little question for you:
- What have you reclaimed from yourself?
- Who have you given your power to, and why?
I hope you now take steps that honor your power — both materially and emotionally — without suppressing it any longer.
Libra – ME OR WE?
This eclipse marks the closing chapter of a theme that has dominated your life for 1.5 years: relationships. You’ve had to learn how to stand on your own, make decisions for yourself, and reflect on who you are outside of partnerships. Maybe you experienced breakups, or simply deep soul-searching about “Who am I, no matter who I’m with?”
The eclipse is happening in your 7th house: partnerships, unions, and marriage. A new connection could enter your life, a current bond might deepen, or a separation could finalize. But the main question is: What do you truly want?
A little question for you:
- Can you truly be yourself in your relationships?
- Do you lose your sense of self when you’re together with someone?
I hope you create relationships that reflect your true self and restore your sense of balance from within.
Scorpio – REBUILDING YOUR LIFE
This eclipse is inviting you to reorganize your daily life, work habits, and health routines. Over the past 1.5 years, your body and mind have been sending signals — and now it’s time to stop ignoring them.
The eclipse lights up your 6th house: work conditions, responsibilities, and lifestyle choices. Maybe you’re ready to change jobs, start a new project, or simplify how you live. With Mars forming a supportive trine to Venus-Neptune in Pisces, you’re being guided toward a heart-aligned routine. But Mercury retrograde says: revisit old habits before rushing forward.
A little question for you:
- Does your daily life truly nourish you?
- Are your body and soul moving to the same rhythm?
I hope you move forward with a routine that energizes and sustains you, rather than one that drains you.
Sagittarius – LISTEN TO YOUR HEART
This eclipse is your invitation to start living for you. For the past 1.5 years, your love life, creative passions, and perhaps even your relationship with children have stretched you emotionally. Now it’s time to turn that emotional growth into something tangible.
The eclipse lands in your 5th house: romance, creativity, joy, and heart-centered expression. A new love might bloom, or you might give life to a passion project. But the core message is: don’t dim your joy or your light. Mercury retrograde could also resurface old flames or unfinished passions.
A little question for you:
- Have you been silencing your heart for too long?
- What used to make you come alive with excitement?
I hope you begin a new chapter led by passion, where you take steps that aren’t just “right” but truly feel like you.
Capricorn – REDEFINE WHERE YOU BELONG
This eclipse touches your roots, your home, and your inner sense of safety. Over the past 1.5 years, you’ve faced deep shifts in your home and family life. On the outside, you may have looked strong, but inside, things were cracking.
The eclipse occurs in your 4th house: home, family, emotional foundations. You’re being asked to explore where and with whom you truly belong. Maybe it’s time to move, renew your living space, or resolve long-standing family issues. Mercury retrograde may stir up past domestic matters.
A little question for you:
- Where do you genuinely feel you belong?
- Who or what feels like “home” to you?
I hope you rebuild your life upon a foundation that makes you feel truly safe and supported.
Aquarius – FIND YOUR VOICE
With this eclipse, it’s time to speak up, express your ideas, and claim your unique perspective. For the past 1.5 years, you’ve gone through a mental evolution around communication, learning, and how you connect. Now, you’re ready to share what you know.
The eclipse lands in your 3rd house: learning, writing, speaking, and digital expression. You may start a course, write something meaningful, or launch a communication project. But Mercury retrograde asks you to clear out mental clutter or revisit old conversations first.
A little question for you:
- Are you truly expressing your truth?
- What have you been holding back that needs to be said?
I hope you speak your truth boldly and connect with the world in a way that reflects your inner wisdom.
Pisces – REMEMBER YOUR WORTH
This eclipse casts a spotlight on your relationship with money and self-worth. For the past 1.5 years, you’ve questioned your value and financial stability. You’ve had to face ups and downs that made you ask: “Do I really deserve this?”
The eclipse occurs in your 2nd house: income, possessions, self-esteem. New financial opportunities may emerge, but the deeper message is about how you perceive your own value. Mercury retrograde might reopen a door you once closed.
A little question for you:
- Does your self-worth reflect in the way you earn and spend?
- What are you truly ready to invest in?
I hope you remember your true value and move toward both financial and emotional abundance with confidence.
