General for Week Commencing: Monday 31 March 2025

	Aries	Monday 31 March 2025	Mar 21 - Apr 19
While Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams changing signs for the first time in 13 years is one of the major events of 2025, for you it is one of the major events of a lifetime. By the time you move into the new week, Neptune will have just returned to Aries for the first time in 150 years and with Saturn returning in May for the first time in three decades, this changes the whole dynamics of the new solar year you thought you were moving into. That the weekend’s New Moon was a solar eclipse was a clue that there might be major new beginnings ahead. Another sign of the major change ahead is that after nearly two months in Aries, Venus retrograded back out last Thursday and Mercury on Sunday, peeling away in order to let things move forward. Mercury will be back before the Sun leaves and your birthday month ends and Venus in early May, giving you time to first explore this new era.

	Taurus	Monday 31 March 2025	Apr 20 - May 20
At a time of major change, with Neptune on the move for the first time in 13 years and with other major changes ahead, the Moon’s return to Taurus on Monday is a chance to check in and to feel more grounded. While an ordinary monthly visit, as well as a chance to move into the new week emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware from the start, this last visit before the Sun returns to begin your birthday month and new solar year is also a chance to start looking ahead. With Uranus, who has been in Taurus since 2019 set to leave in July but then returning from November 2025 to April 2026 to tie up loose ends, this new solar year is going to be an important one. Uranus is the planet that holds the keys to your most authentic path forward, with the Moon’s alignment before leaving on Wednesday a chance to get a better read on that. This may even trigger some Eureka or lightbulb moments.

	Gemini	Monday 31 March 2025	May 21 - Jun 21
There is not only change in the air this week, but traffic moving in both directions as planets swap out with each other. By the time you move into the new week planets that have long since left your career sector are back and a planet that has never been there before is here in their place and all in the space of just a few days. It began last Thursday when nearly two months after leaving, Venus retrograded back into your career sector and then just on Sunday Mercury did the same. In between you even had the Moon return, with all three managing to return to capture Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams’ final days. This saw Venus and Mercury retrograde back out of your friendship sector just as the weekend’s eclipsing New Moon was offering a chance for new beginnings. Riding that wave is Neptune, who just as you move into the new week has returned to your friendship sector for the first time in 150 years.

	Cancer	Monday 31 March 2025	Jun 22 - Jul 22
Because of not just the major flow of planets to and from your career sector and an adventurous part of your chart, both sides are going to be empowered by the experience and as a result, this is going to change the dynamics of the year itself. It also means that those guardrails you had put up when the lunar nodes spent 18 months policing your work/life balance will need to be dusted off. After 13 years Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams will leave your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery, returning to your career sector just as we move into the new week for the first time in 150 years. Yet over the previous few days, Venus and Mercury have both retrograded back into your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery, in time to capture and preserve Neptune’s dreams for the future. They will also take it a step further and by the weekend will be teaming up with Mars and Saturn, the planets who don’t just dream it, but can give you the drive and discipline to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes.

	Leo	Monday 31 March 2025	Jul 23 - Aug 22
While the Moon’s return to your career sector from Monday to Wednesday will get the new working week off to a positive start and as the last visit before the Sun returns this is a chance to start looking ahead, it will be with a need for some clear guardrails from the start. Normally, even after aligning with the Sun as an eclipsing New Moon over the weekend, as the Moon leaves your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery on Monday, it would be hard to hold onto the spirit of wanderlust, curiosity and adventure. Instead, it is while the Moon is still here but about to leave that Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams returned for the first time in 150 years. This is the start of a 15 year visit that will represent one of the most adventurous chapters of your life. With some important months coming up professionally, having the right work/life balance will no longer be a luxury.

	Virgo	Monday 31 March 2025	Aug 23 - Sep 22
Normally, it is rare to have an outer planet on the move and even more so two within the space of less than six months and a third in just over three months from now. This is the reason why 2025 was always going to be a year of massive change. The first change was when after 16 years Pluto left a playful and creative part of your chart and returned to your work sector in November, where he is now settled in and working in harmony with Jupiter in your career sector. You will get a better read on this when the Moon moves through your career sector from Wednesday to Friday. It is just as you move into the new week that you are experiencing your second major shift, with after 13 years Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams having just left your relationship sector and returned to your financial sector for the first time in 150 years. Major support has built up around both your relationships and money matters, at what is a major turning point for both. Where Neptune goes, your motivation is going to follow.

	Libra	Monday 31 March 2025	Sep 23 - Oct 23
There is such an exchange of planets on the job and relationship fronts that you might be wondering which you need to focus on as you move into the new week, though it helps that one has developed more focus on the past and the other more focused on the future. The exchange began last Thursday, when after nearly two months in your relationship sector Venus retrograded back out, followed by Mercury on Sunday. This not only saw both return during Neptune’s final days, but even the Moon moved through in that time. By the time you move into the new week, after 13 years, Neptune has just left and is settling into his early hours in your work sector. It has been 150 years since the planet of hopes and dreams was last here, but the time that Venus and Mercury have already spent here, as well as the weekend’s eclipsing New Moon has prepared you for the chance for major new beginnings this brings.

	Scorpio	Monday 31 March 2025	Oct 24 - Nov 21
If you haven’t already, this is a week where, from the start, there is a need to put up the guardrails when it comes to a balance between work and play. On face value, with after 13 years Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams having just left a playful and creative part of your chart and on Monday is settling into the early hours of his first visit to your work sector in 150 years, this should see a major swing to the busy side of life’s fence. Especially with the Sun already there and the weekend’s eclipsing New Moon having already started to move things forward. However, Venus and Mercury hadn’t just retrograded back into a playful and creative part of your chart in time to capture Neptune’s final days, but by the end of the week will have teamed up with Saturn here and Mars in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery. The playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence has become even more empowered than it was before.

	Sagittarius	Monday 31 March 2025	Nov 22 - Dec 21
While the Sun will always return to a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart on the March equinox and spend the rest of March and the first three weeks of April here, this side of life’s fence is set to get the biggest boost ever experienced. This explains why instead of moving through in just 24 days and Mercury in just 14 to 15 days, they both applied the brakes and have only just retrograded back out, with the promise that they would return. Even Mars, who had retrograded back out of your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery in the New Year is on his way back, promising a powering up of the whole playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence. However, what turns this from a seasonal focus to something a lot more permanent is Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams’ return for the first time in 150 years. Having just returned as you move into the new week, this is a brand new experience, but with the next 15 years to get used to it.

	Capricorn	Monday 31 March 2025	Dec 22 - Jan 19
As you move into the new week there has just been an exchange of planets that will see neither side lose and instead both sides gain. It began last Thursday when after nearly two months in your home and family sector and since she left your communication sector, Venus retrograded back in, followed by Mercury on Sunday. Having both spend far longer than they normally would and after the weekend’s eclipsing New Moon, this leaves you with heart and mind on the same page when it comes to home and family matters. It was less than 12 hours after Mercury left that Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams has returned to your home and family sector for the first time in 150 years, ushering in a whole new chapter. In exchange, Venus and Mercury have retrograded back in time to capture Neptune’s final days in your communication sector and to keep the momentum going. Meanwhile, thanks to the Moon the new working week is going to get off to a positive start for both job and career matters.

	Aquarius	Monday 31 March 2025	Jan 20 - Feb 18
Because of an exchange of planets in the space of just four days, as you move into the new week both your income and communication sectors have been greatly enriched, while taking you into a whole new era on both fronts. It began last Thursday when nearly two months after returning to begin what is normally a 24 day mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice, Venus retrograded back out of your communication sector, followed three days later by Mercury, who only just retrograded back out on Sunday. Both returned in time to capture Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams' final days in your income sector but are also staying on to work with the planets here and with Mars in your work sector to explore all income potential. This has seen them swap places, for as you move into the new week Neptune has just left your income sector and is settling into his early hours in your communication sector.

	Pisces	Monday 31 March 2025	Feb 19 - Mar 20
For the last 13 years, you have had Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams and your ruling planet in Pisces. It was in 2012 that Neptune returned, making this the first time you had had your ruling planet back home and with it, a chance to begin building dreams for the future. As you move into the new week, Neptune has just left and is settling in the early hours of his first visit to your income sector in 150 years. Yet while this is a major shift, this is less the end of one era and the start of the next and more the beginning of a transition. Neptune will return later in the year and won’t leave Pisces for good until January 2026 while he is transiting into a journey through your income sector that will continue for the next 15 years. Helping with the transition are Venus and Mercury, who late last week retrograded out of your income sector and back into Pisces. Together they have cleared the way on the income front while coming back to work with Saturn to get serious about turning dreams into reality.
