Astrological Insights: March 3 - 9, 2025
What Emerges When Looking at the Rear View Mirror
As you’ll remember, with Venus just recently going retrograde, we’re now in a six-week period in which re-evaluating what we value yields treasures. Retrograde periods such as this one remind us of the importance of taking on a different orientation and vantage point. We can also feel in greater flow if we embrace a more luxurious pace as we access insights, experience appreciation, appraise worth, schedule engagements, and define the merits of different potential outcomes.
As my therapist likes to say: if we slow down and make space, it gives us the opportunity to notice. And, as we notice, we see and understand, perceive connections and recognize patterns. We also notice the noticer—ourselves—as witness, as advocate, as champion, as one who is in greater proximity to wisdom and compassion than we had considered. And with that, we can navigate our life with greater essentiality, integrity, and heart.
Retrograde periods encourage us to look into the rear view mirror and turn to the past; with Venus, the realms upon which we specifically focus include how we relate with love, beauty, pleasure, money, and our alliances. We can get additional glimmers of what has worth and what doesn’t, as we assess what is an asset and what is not.
If possible, and where applicable, consider not making quick decisions that could come from prematurely defining something, or someone. This isn’t just because Venus is currently retrograde (through April 12) and that Mercury will be beginning its own retrograde cycle on March 15 (through April 7). It’s also because we’re in the midst of eclipse seasons with the first one—a Lunar Eclipse—occuring on March 14 and the latter—a Solar Eclipse—on March 29.
Reflecting this, the cosmic marching order for March (and early April) seems to be to reflect, re-collect and re-capture jewels from the past, and find the brilliant clarity that can often come not just in spite of temporary unclarity but because of it. Finding the patience to do this isn’t necessarily easy, notably when several planets are in let’s-go-immediately Aries (Venus now, Mercury beginning on March 3, the Sun on March 20, and Neptune on March 30). And yet, it seems like it can be exceptionally rich, valuable, and worthwhile.

Did you know that in addition to offering dedicated family constellations sessions, I also bring my systemic viewpoint and constellations facilitator experience to all my astrology sessions.
In doing so, we can begin to identify generational patterns that may have been eclipsing your freedom of self-expression. In our work together, both your astrology chart as well as insights that arise from our discussions will help us discover family entanglements that may be acting as obstacles, blocking your access to moving towards your visions and desires.
