March 2025 Astrology: A Rare Month of Cazimis, Eclipses & Cosmic Shifts
March 2025 is a pivotal month in astrology, offering profound opportunities for personal growth and transformation. With four powerful cazimi events, a Total Lunar Eclipse, a Partial Solar Eclipse, and Mercury retrograde, this month invites us to make space to reflect, renew, and realign with our true selves. These celestial alignments create a portal of wisdom, vision, love, and clarity, guiding us through deep inner shifts and new beginnings.
Understanding Retrogrades & Cazimis
What is a Retrograde?
A retrograde occurs when a planet appears to move backward in its orbit from our perspective on Earth. This optical illusion signals a time of reflection, reassessment, and inner work rather than forward action. Retrogrades often bring past themes, unresolved issues, or deeper insights to the surface, urging us to slow down and integrate lessons before moving forward.
What is a Cazimi?
A cazimi occurs when a planet is in exact conjunction with the Sun, typically within 17 arc minutes. Rather than being weakened by the Sun’s brightness, the planet is said to be "in the heart of the Sun," receiving a potent infusion of clarity and empowerment. This alignment allows the planet’s themes to shine at their highest potential, providing breakthroughs, heightened awareness, and transformative insights.
Eclipses: Catalysts for Transformation
When Do Solar and Lunar Eclipses Happen?
Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow that darkens the Moon. This happens during a Full Moon and represents emotional revelations, endings, and deep transformation.
Solar eclipses occur when the Moon moves between the Earth and the Sun, temporarily blocking the Sun’s light. This happens during a New Moon and signifies bold beginnings, fresh insights, and a surge of new energy.
Eclipses accelerate life changes, bringing about necessary shifts that align us with our highest path. They act as cosmic resets, revealing what needs to be released and what is ready to emerge.
