General Daily Insight for March 22, 2025
The water may look lovely, but we better not dive in just yet! The Moon marches into capable Capricorn first thing, where it will square off against the Sun, creating a dissonance between our emotional and physical needs. The Sun will align with retrograde Venus in Aries at 9:07 pm EDT, giving us new goals to chase, but we must do so with wisdom and care — or else we risk becoming rather disappointed with the results. What appears alluring is not always fulfilling.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Expressing yourself isn’t always easy — even for you, Aries! A rare conjunction between the Sun and retrograde Venus in your lively sign is asking you to rethink the ways you display yourself, both aesthetically and emotionally. Something you normally enjoy about your presentation could suddenly feel rather displeasing or unsatisfying. Hold on — that doesn’t mean you have been doing things wrong, simply that it could be time for a modern way of showing off. A little bit of experimentation can’t hurt.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Sometimes less really is more. The Sun in your 12th House of Release is embracing luxurious Venus. Venus Retrograde actually works in your favor, as this combination guides you through clearing away old clutter, whether it’s emotional baggage or something as simple as one too many pairs of jeans in your closet. You also have the ability to eliminate outdated expectations you have of yourself and others. If you’ve outgrown certain things, don’t allow them to keep taking up space.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
It’s lovely to feel adored, but not if it is happening for the wrong reasons. You’re in a particularly outgoing period while the Sun is in your 11th House of Global Communities, getting you in touch with all kinds of people all over the place. Even so, the Sun’s agreement with Venus Retrograde might complicate your connections! This transit can create drama or misguided desires and feelings. Pay attention to how you interact with others, and be sure you aren’t seeking undeserved validation.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
There’s a fine line between putting yourself on display and showing off! Alluring Venus is dancing through your 10th House of Reputation, which can normally help you appear at your best. Since that graceful planet is retrograde, though, any blemishes could become extremely apparent as Venus conjoins the Sun in this same important territory. A lot of eyes are on you, but don’t try to put on a grandiose show for them. The probability of making a misstep is very high.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Reality is for the birds today. A potent conjunction between retrograde Venus and the life-giving Sun in your 9th House of Openings is turning your attention away from mundane matters and opening your mind to all the possibilities available to you. In stark contrast, what looks possible could turn out to be anything but, as Venus Retrograde can blind you to your limitations and other red flags that would normally be obvious. Stick to what you know as much as possible.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
You know what you bring to the table, but there are times when other people fail to pick up on it. Maybe you feel a little undervalued or like people aren’t acknowledging your contributions as Venus Retrograde conjoins the Sun at the same degree of your 8th House of Trust. Make a point of not becoming too sensitive to perceived situations. Remember — just because someone doesn’t tell you what you want to hear doesn’t mean they’ll never change their tune.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Don’t make any assumptions about anyone. This sounds rather dramatic, but it’s only too possible to get the wrong idea about a loved one as Venus conjoins the Sun in your 7th House of Links, making it difficult to understand what is truly driving someone else and where their values lie. There is a chance you might have a disagreement about common goals or passion projects. Still, Venus can create space for compromise, which should end up being the easiest way forward.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
There is no need to overhaul your life. It could be tempting to change as much as possible in the name of self-improvement as Venus and the Sun conjoin in your 6th House of Improvement, but going overboard could happen in an instant with Venus sliding retrograde. Don’t bite off more than you can chew just because it looks tasty, and don’t start throwing your money around on bells and whistles that could hypothetically improve your life. Stick to methods that are simple, but certain.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Your heart is leading you all over the place today. A special conjunction between Venus and the Sun in your enthusiastic 5th house is assisting you in understanding all the wonderful, lovely things the world has to offer. The only problem is that when Venus is spinning retrograde, you might be getting the wrong impression about something, or a certain option may look much lovelier than it will turn out to be. Get a reality check before flying off on any flights of fancy.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Make space for your loved ones. There is a decidedly homey aura around today as Venus conjoins the Sun in your familial 4th house, encouraging coziness with your nearest and dearest. Unfortunately, with Venus slipping backward, you may be tempted to turn this into some big to-do. The more you try to roll out the red carpet, the more you might trip up in the process. Keep things simple! Being able to throw money at an issue doesn’t mean you should.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Find comfort in your usual patterns. A rare conjunction of Venus and the Sun in your local community sector is giving you plenty of reasons to get out and about to see what’s going on in your area. However, Venus is currently retrograde, so don’t start turning over every stone, hoping to find treasure underneath. Instead, stick to projects and practices that you know are solid bets. It’s not a bad idea to keep your expectations low every once in a while.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
It’s a good day to get rid of some things. Venus and the Sun are conjoining in your 2nd House of Material Security, which would normally be a great time to acquire things. And yet, as Venus continues rolling retrograde, you’ll get more satisfaction from creating space for any future purchases. If you haven’t worn something in over a year, then it’s time to consider donating or reselling it! Plus, some savvy online selling could net you a few bucks in return.
