General Daily Insight for March 31, 2025
We have one foot firmly in reality, the other drifting off through some faraway dreamland. The Sun marches along in Aries, lighting us up with the desire to engage with the world and explore our abilities. In contrast, Venus and Mercury are still retrograde in intuitive Pisces. Not only are the cosmic lovers inspiring us to proceed gently, they’re also motivating us to look in the rearview mirror. There, we may see fated visions as they approach the North Node of destiny.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
You have been clinging to something for a long time, Aries. It could be a way of thinking about yourself, or perhaps a certain habit which you indulge in, especially when you feel sensitive or out of your comfort zone. Think of it like a childhood security blanket that you may no longer need to carry around because you have grown up, even if that growth took place without you realizing it. If it’s time to set it aside, be honest with yourself about that.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Being nice is not the same thing as being kind. There are people in your life who come off as nice by always telling you the things you like to hear. The validation from such statements doesn’t mean that keeping those people around is in your best interest. A slew of planets in your altruistic 11th house are encouraging you to choose kinder peers, those who are willing to tell you things you may not enjoy learning. That’s what’s in your best interest.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
The road to the top is rarely straight and narrow. It can seem like the path ahead is twisting and turning all over the place while your 10th House of Authority hosts two retrograde planets, but this is actually a powerful moment to allow other important factors to play themselves out. Only when these changes have happened will you be able to move forward again. When you work with patience, you can, in time, get exactly where you want to go.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
You may feel like Dorothy in her house, flying over the rainbow. However, it’s not at all clear where you’re going to land just yet — this is due to a combination of retrograde planets in your audacious 9th house. Still, this lack of knowledge doesn’t mean you aren’t headed in the right direction. The best way to reach your goals would be to avoid trying to dictate your path forward. Work within your current situation while letting the cosmos carry you as it will.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Recognizing the line — and not crossing it — won’t be easy. Your 8th House of Tension is hosting both Mercury and Venus retrograde, which can shake up the most intimate and intense connections in your life. Someone may provoke you to some degree or push your buttons about an issue which you would rather not discuss, but you may not have a choice. Establish your comfort zone as best you can, then let other people know its boundaries with polite firmness.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
The fewer expectations you have, the easier it will be to get what you want. Mercury and Venus are both retrograde in your partnership sector, making it difficult to meet anyone halfway — whether you’re attempting to make it happen in a personal sense or a professional one. You can benefit from this if you don’t expect anything from anyone, because what they bring your way of their own volition may prove much better. Treat others as you wish to be treated.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Productivity doesn’t always look the same. There is a small army of planets retrograding through your 6th House of Analysis, which may seem like a big headache at first glimpse. There is genuinely important information on offer — if you take the time to look. This will likely pertain to exploring modern ways of handling your traditional tasks, so be willing to try a different approach to old problems. Just know that it may take some time to find the right one for you.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Indulge your inner kid. It’s the perfect time to find pleasure in the things that used to make little you happy as Mercury and Venus both retrograde through your recreational 5th house. Whether it’s a bit of karaoke, drawing with markers, or even dressing up in a silly costume, it’s these small things that can currently bring a smile to your face. Take on a childlike mindset and don’t worry about your skill level or the final product — you’re allowed to enjoy the process.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
It’s alright if your feelings seem uncertain. Your emotional 4th house is hosting Mercury and Venus, who both are retrograde at the moment. This can make it difficult to look within and know exactly what is what. Even so, this does not mean you do not know the answer, but rather you’re going through a deep, slow change. Trust that things will play out for the best, even if they temporarily have you scratching your head. You don’t need all the answers this instant.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Don’t pile too much onto your plate. It’ll be tough to resist diving into life and swimming around in your surroundings while Mercury and Venus are in your chatty 3rd house. Since both planets are also retrograde, sticking to the waters you know would be much more sensible than sailing into unmapped seas. You’ll find more success keeping things simple, rather than trying to pile as many things onto your to-do list as possible. Make sure there’s space for what truly matters.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Make the most of what you have. It makes perfect sense if you want to treat yourself, what with Mercury and Venus both in your possessive 2nd house — except those planets are also retrograde, so your desire for shiny things probably won’t lead to real satisfaction. The most prudent course of action would be to root through what you already own and size things up with a new eye. What you discover hidden in your closet or cupboard could prove just the ticket!
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
This is one of those days when you could feel a little uncertain of how you wish to present yourself. Both Mercury and Venus are retrograde in your gentle sign, which may cause you to feel like you can’t do anything right. That’s not the case! Even though misunderstandings and missteps are everywhere with these two planets backing up like this, don’t discount your natural intuition. It’s okay to feel confused, as long as you keep going. Don’t overthink who you are.
