Solar Eclipse in Aries - March 29th, 2025
The Solar Eclipse on March 29th, 2025 is a turning point on a collective and personal level. Eclipses mark beginnings and endings. This one in particular is a North Node Solar Eclipse in Aries, meaning collectively, we’re being pushed toward self-leadership and action.
The North Node represents the direction of growth, and this eclipse is telling us that growth comes when we learn to trust ourselves and act on our instincts and desires. This is a period where those who take initiative will see opportunities open. However, those who hold back will feel forced to confront their fears around their own power and self-reliance. The collective theme is about prioritizing selfhood, cutting codependent ties, and moving away from excessive compromise.
On a global level, we may see more assertive actions taken by governments or leaders. There could be abrupt decisions and policies aimed at putting national or group interests first. Aries brings a type of urgency. We will see impatience on collective levels, with people and systems wanting immediate results. This could result in tension and conflict, but also breakthroughs where old patterns are dismantled. The eclipse occurs at 8 degrees Aries, an early degree, indicating this is just the start of a much larger process that will unfold over the next year and a half.
Eclipses only ever occur near the Nodes, but being that this one is the North Node, this eclipse carries a future-oriented energy to it. It’s not comfortable or familiar, but it’s what needs to happen for evolution to take place. People may become more focused on personal goals rather than collective consensus. This could feel like a rise in selfishness or self-centered pursuits, but the purpose is to correct imbalances where people have lost autonomy.
Jupiter sextiles Solar Eclipse
Jupiter in Gemini sextiles this eclipse. Jupiter expands and teaches, and Jupiter in Gemini emphasizes learning, information exchange, and adaptability. This supportive aspect suggests that opportunities will come through learning new skills, networking, and being open to multiple perspectives. The collective may see rapid advancements in communication technologies, education reforms, and intellectual innovation. However, too much information can also lead to overwhelm. The key will be focusing on what matters, not getting distracted by noise.
Mercury Retrograde in Aries
Mercury retrograde is stationed 0 degrees Aries during this eclipse. This is critical because 0deg Aries is the starting point of the zodiac, representing new cycles and opportunities. But Mercury retrograde also brings miscommunication and the tendency to revisit old ideas. We can feel as if we’re on the edge of something major, something new and exciting. But everything still feels fuzzy, and plans launched now will likely need revisions. This retrograde also suggests that people will revisit past decisions and conversations. Many will experience endings with relationships, jobs, or habits that no longer align with their personal goals.
Mars in Cancer
Mars rules Aries, but it’s stationed in Cancer, its sign of fall. The desire for action is strong, but the execution is emotionally driven and reactive. Decisions made during this time may come from a place of emotional urgency rather than logic. It’s important to slow down and not let temporary feelings dictate permanent actions.
Other Notes -
Financial markets may feel this eclipse as well. Aries is impulsive, and with Mercury retrograde, we could see erratic market behavior. There could be unexpected shifts in economic policies, interest rate changes, or new financial regulations that impact global economies.
For those involved in creative industries, this eclipse is a call to take risks. It’s about putting ideas into action without waiting for perfection. However, due to Mercury retrograde, revisions will be necessary later. Artists, writers, and innovators will feel a strong push to create, launch, and lead.
Relationships that are unbalanced will come to a head. This eclipse forces honesty. Either relationships adjust to honor both parties independence, or they end. Co-dependency will not survive this energy. People will crave freedom and space.
Educational systems may undergo reforms. There will be discussions around self-directed learning, alternative education models, and fostering independence in students. Traditional structures that limit creativity and autonomy will be challenged. Legal matters and justice systems could also see reform discussions. The focus will be on empowering individuals rather than protecting outdated institutions. Whistleblowing and exposing corruption may increase.
Collectively, we may see rapid developments in technology that focus on individual empowerment. Such as apps, tools, and platforms that allow people to manage their lives independently. Decentralization will be a strong theme.
