General Daily Insight for March 17, 2025
The universe is asking us to dive deep beneath the surface. The Moon slips into subterranean Scorpio at 3:30 am EDT, connecting us with the feelings and emotions we might keep hidden from everyone, ourselves included. The urge to dig even further will arrive when the Moon squares transformational Pluto in Aquarius. We can understand the value in all this depth once the Moon communicates with Venus in Aries for a quincunx. This reminds us that the best treasure often requires a bit of digging.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
A little bit of mystery can be fun, but too much mystery can be stressful. The Moon is sliding into your secretive 8th house, which can make you feel like a private detective trying to uncover highly classified information. You can put this energy to good use by tending to more complicated matters, now that you’ve got the drive to untangle them. In contrast, if you let it amplify the drama, you could create a mystery all your own — one that causes problems.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Companions will have a big impact on your day. The Moon is entering your 7th House of Relationships, shining a light on the most significant people in your life, regardless of the specifics of your connection. It’s also possible that a perfect stranger will enter your life who fits the bill perfectly for your newest bestie. Taurus is not known for questing into the unknown, but with Luna on your side, you know that there’s nothing wrong with opening yourself up to new people.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Self-improvement is the name of the game. The Moon is touching down in your 6th House of Improvement, so instead of lazing about, snap to it and secure your grasp on the reins of your life. Whether you need to whip yourself into better shape, streamline the clutter around you, or embrace a more optimistic lifestyle, this energy is here to boost you toward such achievements all the more easily. The effort you put in now will pay off for many years to come.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Lean into the fun side of life! The Moon is bounding into your exciting 5th house, so this is the perfect time to kick back and relax — tedious busywork doesn’t deserve your effort and time. This energy is all about enjoying yourself and expressing yourself, so don’t worry too much about what that looks like. The process is the point, not any hypothetical results. That process should make you happy, no matter what. You can put your pleasures first without guilt.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
It’s more than alright to keep to yourself today. There is a decidedly quiet air overhead as the Moon settles down in your comfortable 4th house, which can make it difficult to summon the energy to even leave your front door. Feel free to putter around the house, potentially handling any tasks you’ve been putting off, but primarily enjoying yourself. Why not treat yourself to your favorite meal while enjoying your favorite film or a few episodes of a show you’ve been meaning to finish?
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
You need some enrichment, Virgo! Your life is imbued with cosmic liveliness as the Moon enters your conversational 3rd house, so don’t sit around with your head in the sand. There are important people to see and conversations to be had — you never know what delightful opportunities or exciting prospects you’ll uncover along the way! It doesn’t matter what color you settle on, but go paint the town your preferred shade and you can’t go wrong at a time like this.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
There’s a certain air of indulgence to the day. You have a natural aesthetic flare, and it can be difficult to deny that side of yourself as the Moon moves into your materialistic 2nd house. This is your time to please your senses with things that appeal to you, such as a new scented candle, a delicious dinner, or some time taking in live music. Life isn’t meant to be a boring or colorless existence, so dive in and smell the roses!
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
When was the last time you took stock of your overall situation? The Moon is arriving in your intense sign for its monthly visit, acting like galactic noise-canceling headphones to tune out any distractions. This way, you can concentrate on your needs and what you must do to meet them. Set out a strategy to achieve them, one step at a time. If you follow this plan, you’ll probably have pulled it off brilliantly by the time the Moon returns in four weeks.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Everything seems a little foggy right now. Feeling rather out of it is actually perfectly natural, since the Moon is settling down in your drowsy 12th house. The universe wants to give you the day off from more serious matters. Consider this an opportunity to rest up in preparation for the Moon arriving in your sign in a few days! Use this time to clear your plate of any excessive, distracting mental chaos. Don’t worry — you can add fresh chaos soon enough.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Consider doing something for someone else. That isn’t to say you never do anything for other people, but the Moon is moving into your humanitarian 11th house, so it’s a good time to think about the needs of others. Whether you’re lending a hand to a friend in need or getting the gang together to go volunteer at a local charity, the best way to feel good about your current life is to do something that improves the lives of others.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Asking for advice is currently one of the wisest things you can do. There is a certain ambitious mood in the air as the Moon enters your professional 10th house, which governs the VIPs in your life and other respected figures. It can’t hurt to ask one of them for their two cents on a matter! They might prove even more helpful than you were originally anticipating, so be sure to say thank you if they begin opening doors for you.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Don’t limit yourself. Sometimes it can be easy to focus on all the reasons you can’t do something, or all the things that make your journey in life so much harder. The stars are cheering for you to leap over those barriers just as the Moon is leaping into your 9th House of Expansion. What may have looked like a towering wall from far away could turn out to be an entirely manageable hurdle up close. Wind up to leap right over it!

Even our deepest wounds can heal with time. The Moon in pleasant Libra may not give off a healing vibe at first, as it squares off warrior Mars in emotive Cancer. Even so, we can seek out solutions when the Moon then opposes Chiron at 10:06 am EDT, motivating us to pursue personal development and improvement. The Moon will close things out with a quincunx to Saturn in Pisces. This further encourages us to follow our intuition to a satisfying conclusion.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
What do you need right now? The Moon in your partnership quadrant is bringing helpful people out of the woodwork, which is especially valuable as the Moon opposes Chiron in your headstrong sign. Chiron can enlighten you regarding areas where you feel insecure due to a perceived lack. Once you talk through worries like that with someone you trust, you can gain perspective and feel better about the whole situation. Don’t bottle it up, because that will only make things worse.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
There’s a difference between accomplishing things and merely keeping busy. Today you may think you’re being productive while the Moon is in your 6th House of Productivity, but its opposition to Chiron in your 12th House of the Subliminal could lead you down some distracting detours. Make an effort to avoid getting led astray, because what looks like an interesting or necessary task could turn out to be just the opposite. Use your time wisely — or at least have fun with it!
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Your desires may need to be put on ice. That might be tough with Luna dancing through your playful 5th house, but the lunar opposition to Chiron in your communal 11th house could result in you being called upon to play your part in a group activity. Loved ones may need your support, which will probably be less exciting than your plans. Still, assisting the people you care for is worth doing — especially since you’ll probably want their aid sooner or later.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
It’s not easy to lay low right now. That may be exactly what you want to do while the Moon is in your cozy 4th house, but it will be pinging off Chiron in your public-facing 10th house. That alignment could speedily force you to get up and attend to some important matters. Regardless of how you’d prefer to spend your time, the sooner you roll up your sleeves, the sooner you can return home and curl back up under the covers.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Take time to educate yourself. A stressful opposition between the Moon in your chatty 3rd house and Chiron in your high-minded 9th house could reveal a gap in your knowledge about something important. This can be especially problematic if you start talking about a topic as though you’re well-versed in it, only to realize after the fact you’ve been completely misinformed. Avoid getting up on your soapbox at the drop of a hat! Think before you speak — then think twice, just to make sure.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Compromise is a critical part of today. The Moon in your luxurious 2nd house has you focused on your own budget, but a lunar opposition to Chiron in your deep 8th house will force you to consider other people and what they want from you. A financial matter, or perhaps an important relationship, could force you to sit down at the business table and parse through some complicated issues. Remember — it’s better to get them over with rather than procrastinate.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Don’t pin all your happiness on another person. There is a complicated opposition between the Moon in your 1st House of Action and wounded Chiron in your 7th House of Bonds, which could make you feel like you don’t have the support or appreciation you’d like. You can find more success once you accept that people aren’t mind readers, and that you, first and foremost, are responsible for your own happiness. Open communication is key to emerging from this transit without complications.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Take time to check in with your physical body. You can definitely stand to get some rest while the Moon is in your quiet 12th house, but its opposition to Chiron in your wellness-based 6th house wants you to make sure you aren’t spiraling too deep. Spend some time thinking about how to nurture yourself and where you may have been pushing too hard, then take gentle steps to improve the situation. The basics of rest, healthy food, and mild exercise should do the trick.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Don’t dim your shine for the sake of others. It’s a good day to link up with people as the Moon tours your 11th House of Friendship, but the Moon is opposing Chiron in your 5th House of Creativity, which could leave you feeling like people aren’t fairly appreciating all you have to offer. There may be the temptation to react negatively, but avoid doing so in a reactive fashion. Use your unique talents to contribute to the group, rather than steal focus.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Start from the inside and work outward. You are in an ambitious frame of mind while the Moon paces through your 10th House of Career. Step with care, though, as Luna locks into an uncomfortable opposition to wounded Chiron in your 4th House of Foundations, potentially impeding your inner balance. Don’t try to ignore this or distract yourself with work. Instead, take a deep breath and tend to your emotional situation. You’ll be able to achieve more once you’ve got yourself sorted.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
You can only do so much in a single day. The Moon is sailing through your 9th House of Voyages, turning your attention to all the possibilities floating out beyond the horizon. Even so, Luna’s disagreement with Chiron in your 3rd House of Neighbors will likely keep you too busy to go off on any exotic adventures. Focus on simple tasks, particularly if you’ve been putting off something important for a little bit too long. Ask for help if you need it.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
You may feel a certain sense of lack today. The Moon in your 8th House of Lump Sums is opposing Chiron in your 2nd House of Material Security. Their shared anxiety could make you pointedly aware of what you don’t have, even if you already have more than enough. Avoid getting wrapped up in worry — you can with some simple gratitude exercises, like listing things in your life that do make you feel good. You might be surprised at how long it gets!

General Daily Insight for March 15, 2025
We all need to hold our horses! Messenger Mercury is turning retrograde in Aries at 2:46 am EDT, where it will be scrambling signals and causing conflict for the next several weeks. The best way to make progress during this time is by moving as slowly as possible. The Moon in Libra will go on to oppose Venus, also retrograde in Aries, before making an opposition to Mercury. Everyone’s thoughts and feelings are prone to running rampant all over the place.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Choose your words carefully. Communicator Mercury is turning retrograde in your bold sign for the next few weeks, which makes it practically a matter of time before you accidentally rub someone else the wrong way. Similarly, avoid diving into unknown projects or making any permanent changes, as they probably aren’t as plausible as they seem on the surface. Even if you normally love playing fast and loose with your goals, this is a time to play it safe. Don’t poke the bear.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Nothing is what it seems. You may feel like you’re missing something obvious or following your intuition in circles as Mercury turns retrograde in your 12th House of the Subconscious. It’s already difficult to think clearly when Mercury is in this sector of your chart, but now it’s even easier to get lost in daydreams and pick up the wrong end of the stick. Avoid engaging with as many serious topics as possible. Save that for down the line when Mercury enters your sign.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
An anti-social vibration could cloud your day. You may not feel like your usually chatty self as your ruler Mercury stations retrograde in your 11th House of Networks, causing more than its fair share of confusion and miscommunication within your circle. Perhaps you feel lukewarm about certain people, or you may not have time in your schedule to get together, though it could be others who aren’t quite available. Trying to get the gang together may feel like herding cats.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
There’s no need to climb the professional ladder. In fact, you’d do well to stay right where you are as Mercury turns retrograde in your job zone. Mistakes could seem to appear from thin air! You’ll run less risk if you don’t sign your name on any important contracts, take any complex jobs, or begin any vital projects. Instead, focus on work already in progress and keep your efforts behind the scenes. That way, you should emerge from this cycle unscathed.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Easy does it, Leo. Mercury’s calling you from your journey sector, offering exciting adventures every day — well, they’ll seem exciting. As Mercury moves retrograde in this sector for the next three weeks, each intriguing opening could slam shut or reveal itself as a disappointing dud. Stick to what you know for the time being. If you absolutely have to quest into the epic unknowns of life, take utmost care to avoid the sort of sticky situations that would leave you feeling lost.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
You know it’s better to be safe than sorry, Virgo. That’s especially true as your ruler Mercury is in your 8th House of Intensity. Even though this normally leads you toward epiphanies and revelations, today, there’s trouble afoot as the cosmic communicator begins sliding retrograde. Instead of trying to emerge from any cocoons as a new and beautiful butterfly, consider this an opportunity to do some more growing behind the scenes. Remind yourself that the best is still yet to come.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
It’s time to tango by yourself. Normally you’d do that with a partner, but Mercury is turning retrograde in your liaison sector for the next few weeks. It’ll be nigh impossible to see eye-to-eye with someone important, be they a lover, a friend, or a professional partner. You should also avoid signing your name on any dotted lines for the time being, as you will likely get a raw deal in the contract — no matter how thoroughly you’ve vetted it.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Life doesn’t always flow as smoothly as you might like — and today, you’re swimming upriver as Mercury turns retrograde in your competent 6th house. All your most responsible urges get overturned, creating one conundrum after another. You may also notice that other people are less helpful than usual. Even if they have good intentions, having to clean up their messes won’t be fun. Set aside time to rest and decompress so you don’t drive yourself crazy or incite further drama in the process.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
This is no time to gamble recklessly. Mercury is shifting into retrograde motion for the next few weeks, and specifically will be backing up through your excitable 5th house. Do your best to avoid biting off more than you can chew. No matter how tasty or enticing something might look, diving in headfirst probably won’t go well. Take your time moving forward at a careful and conscientious pace. What appears tailored for you at a distance could prove a very uncomfortable fit up close.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Calm and quiet aren’t likely to be found under your roof at this time. Conflict is around every corner as Mercury spins retrograde in your homey 4th house for the next three weeks. Think twice before attempting to rock the boat as far as family and feelings are concerned. Likewise, if you’ve been thinking about renovating, redecorating, or even moving, make an effort to wait until Mercury turns direct again. Otherwise, the results could be quite disappointing. Going with the flow would be wise.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Even if you’re fully certain you’ve got all the details down pat, Mercury Retrograde is about to crash into your busy 3rd house like a meteor of chaos. Anything that can go wrong probably will! If you drop the ball, don’t be too hard on yourself. Just avoid taking unnecessary risks — especially if those risks are part of some newfangled, complicated plan. You’ll find more success counting your chickens after they hatch, not a moment before.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Money matters require a bit of extra care at present. Mercury is turning retrograde in your 2nd House of Income, so this is no time to act like cash grows on trees. Quite the opposite — keep your wallet shut as much as possible. Avoid any get-rich-quick schemes, as they’ll likely putter out before they can earn you a single cent. Likewise, avoid seeking out new jobs or other sources of income, as there’s a high chance that things won’t work out like you hope.
