Venus + Mercury Cazimi in Aries - March 22nd - 24th, 2025
Venus Cazimi - March 22nd, 2025
Right now, Venus is in Aries where she’s traditionally considered to be detriment. This means that Venus isn’t operating the way she normally likes to. Venus loves compromise and harmony, but Aries is impatient and self-focused. Venus also rules over the domain of relationships, so things can feel frustrating and impulsive here too. Venus is also retrograde, so not only is it struggling in Aries, but it’s also causing us to rethink our values, how we handle money, and even our own personal worth.
But on March 22nd, Venus sits right in the heart of the Sun. I.e, a Venus cazimi occurs. Instead of being overshadowed (like in combustion), Venus now becomes illuminated and regains her power. And the Sun is also exalted in Aries, so this brings an extra boost of confidence to a planet that’s otherwise been struggling! Frustrations and confusions that have been happening since the beginning of March may suddenly start making sense, and everything clicks as we realize what we want without second guessing it. Aries is forceful though, so it’s not like a sweet synchronicity by any means It’ll feel more like a slap of truth.
This cazimi pushes us to reconnect with our core values. The ones that set our soul on fire. Venus rx in Aries has been stripping away people-pleasing tendencies and face where we’ve been compromising too much. This is a good time to listen to your heart without guilt or apology. Focus on what matters, and move accordingly.
Mercury Cazimi in Aries - March 24th, 2025
Another cazimi follows just two days after when Mercury retrograde in Aries aligns with the Sun. With Mercury retrograde, conversations aren’t up to par, people are misreading each other, tech glitches are annoying, and plans are getting thrown through the wringer. Everything comes out sideways when Mercury is retrograde, but just like the Venus cazimi, Mercury cazimi helps make sense of what’s been otherwise unclear.
This is the heart of the retrograde cycle where you can actually see the core message of what’s been confusing or chaotic. Don’t be surprised if you suddenly understand what’s been bothering you, what conversations you’ve been avoiding, or where you’ve been getting in your own way. Mercury in Aries is impulsive and struggles with thinking before speaking. We may end up blurting out something that we’ve been holding back for weeks, but it will be necessary. On the other hand, we could be hit with a sudden realization about a situation we’ve been going in circles with. But again, Mercury is still retrograde, so what comes up now is meant to be reflected on, not necessarily acted on just yet.
Because Aries energy is so impulsive, there’s a temptation to rush decisions. But what feels urgent right now might still be missing key information. This is especially true in relationships and finances, with Venus having just gone through her own cazimi. You might feel the push to send that text, make that call, or launch that idea. Also, watch for themes from the past coming up in conversations. Mercury retrograde loves to recycle people and situations. If an old conflict or connection resurfaces now, pay attention. There’s something here you’re meant to learn or finally clear up. But again, don’t force closure if it’s not ready.
Aries Rising/Sun
The first house is the house of you. It’s your face to the world, your physical body, your energy, and how you show up in your everyday life. It’s survival based and entirely self-focused. Right now, you have not one, but two cazimi’s happening in this house, both under very complicated conditions. Venus in Aries struggles, and it’s uncomfortable in the 1st house. Venus makes way for compromise and partnerships, but it’s not operating to its full extent in its current conditions. You’re being faced with questions about what it is you want, and what it is you want to do. You might be feeling restless and uninterested in pleasing others. There’s a certain type of dissatisfaction that comes with this Venus transit.
However, the cazimi is illuminating these rather uncomfortable feelings, and you’re going to finally realize where you’ve been bending over backward for others or trying to appear “put together”, even with resentment and frustration hiding below the surface. You’re tired of catering to others expectations and craving freedom from any dynamic where you feel confined. This cazimi is pushing you to get honest with yourself and you’re presenting yourself to the world. Stop being afraid to ruffle feathers. If something needs to be addressed, you’ll feel called to address it. It’s okay to be a little self-centered right now. This is your image, your body, your identity. If something feels off, it’s time to fix it.
Two days later, Mercury retrograde in Aries also reaches cazimi. Mercury is more comfortable in Aries than Venus is, but it’s still retrograde and not operating at its best. Your words, thoughts, and communication style are certainly under a microscope now. You may have sudden insights into what needs to be said and how to say it. But these realizations are meant to be processed and integrated. Now is not the time to act impulsive. The 1st house rules how you assert yourself, how you move through the world, and how others perceive your strength and presence. Mercury cazimi in this house will have you rethinking how you communicate boundaries and desires. If you’ve been tolerating nonsense, this is the moment you realize you’re done. If you’ve been hiding your voice, this is where you finally start to understand why.
Both of these cazimis are giving you permission to stop apologizing for putting yourself first. Venus and Mercury, both stripped down in Aries, are telling you it’s time to get real about what you need, how you present yourself, and how you communicate that to the world. You’re gaining clarity, but the action will come after the retrogrades complete. For now, try to let these realizations sit. Rework your goals and presentation slowly. By the time the retrograde cycle completes, you’ll be more equipped to move forward with whatever comes up now.
Taurus Rising/Sun
You’re in a quiet period of life at the moment with both Mercury and Venus moving through the house sector of your chart that deals with your subconscious fears and self-undoing. This is the place of retreat and isolation, and it’s truly not the easiest transit for you either. With the house of thoughts and communication, and the house of values and relationships, retrograding and uncomfortable with where it’s at, you’re sitting with your shadows and facing all the things you’ve been choosing to avoid. But as the cazimi appears and Venus and Mercury align with the Sun, you’re being asked to go inward and confront where you’ve been sabotaging your own peace.
The sector of your chart these planets are moving through is where you carry unconscious baggage, old guilt, resentment, and disappointments you’ve been burying deep below. Venus retrograde is here to dig all of that up though. And now that Venus cazimi is here, it’s shining a light on all of it. You might find yourself hit with sudden clarity around where you’ve been sacrificing yourself in ways that no longer make sense. Maybe you’ve been clinging to an outdated belief about what you “should” be doing. Maybe you’ve been overextending yourself for others without realizing you’ve neglected your own needs. The 12th house doesn’t let you escape these realizations. It makes you sit with them, sometimes in solitude, sometimes in discomfort, but ultimately for healing.
Mercury’s cazimi provides some mental clarity to the above. Lately, you’ve been trying to connect the dots but getting absolutely nowhere. This cazimi allows for things to click. For you, it could appear in a dream or a sudden internal download. Pay attention to your intuition right now. Take extra care to rest, journal, and reflect. You might also notice that past situations tied to hidden resentments or old emotional wounds come up for review. It’s not random. The universe is asking you to let it go.
You’re in a spiritual preparation phase, and you’re being prompted to clean out your emotional and spiritual closet. Your ruler, Venus, will eventually retrograde into its sign of exaltation (Pisces) where you’ll be more inclined to focus on community and connection, but right now, you’re going to feel the need to isolate, cancel plans, and disconnect from the outside world. Stepping back and allowing stillness right now will allow you to show up for others later on, simply because you took the time to show up for yourself first.
Gemini Rising/Sun
These cazimi’s are lighting up the sector of your chart where your big dreams and future visions live. This is the space where you hold the deepest hopes for what you’re meant to achieve in this lifetime. It’s about the vision you have for the life you’re building and the legacy you want to leave behind. Right now, that vision is being put under the microscope. With Venus and your chart ruler Mercury both retrograding here, you’re being forced to sit with some uncomfortable truths about the goals you’ve been chasing. Maybe they once excited you, but now they feel forced or outdated. Maybe they were never really yours to begin with. Perhaps, all along, they’re just expectations you inherited, dreams you pursued for validation, or goals that looked good on paper but don’t light you up inside. You’re being asked if the things you’ve been chasing are what you really want deep down. And if the answer isn’t a strong hell yes, then it’s time to start questioning why you’ve been holding onto it.
Venus retrograde has probably been stirring up frustration around these ambitions. There’s tension between wanting to stand out, but also feeling nervous and held back by how others might perceive you or if you can really “pull it off”. The Venus cazimi is allowing you to see just what has been holding you back. You’ll likely feel this restless push to break away from goals that no longer feel authentic, even if they’ve been a part of your identity for years. You might look at your social circle or the people you associate with and realize they’re not aligned with where you’re headed anymore. That realization can feel lonely, but it’s necessary. You’re not meant to shrink yourself to fit in anymore.
Just a couple days later, Mercury’s cazimi in the same area brings another wave of insight. As your chart ruler, Mercury retrograde can make you feel mentally foggy (unless you’re a natal Mercury rx person). As a result, you’ve probably been overthinking and talking yourself out of ideas that actually excite you. Is it because of a fear of failure, fear of judgement, or something else? This cazimi will enlighten these doubts and help you make sense of them. But instead of feeling like you need to act immediately (and you will feel this way), it’ll be wise to sit with your realizations instead. Don’t launch the new project or make that huge announcement just yet. You’re still gathering information. Mercury retrograde is like reviewing the map before you start the road trip. If you jump the gun now, you might miss an important turn.
Over the next few weeks, as Mercury retraces its steps and Venus slowly prepares to station direct, you’ll start to see the bigger picture take shape. What felt blurry and confusing before will become more defined. You’ll feel the pressure to refine your goals, cut out what’s not working, and start aligning with the future you actually want. This process requires brutal honesty. Stop trying to convince yourself that something is still working if it’s only draining you. If your heart’s not in it, it’s okay to let go.
Cancer Rising/Sun
The cazimi’s are happening in the most visible, public part of your chart. Your reputation, life purpose, your career and legacy you’re building that people associate with your name, is in the spotlight. Every move you make is being watched and evaluated right now. If you’ve been questioning your direction or feeling insecure about your career choices, this is when everything will begin to feel urgent and unavoidable.
You’re in a period of questioning your professional life, but the Venus cazimi is going to give you some clarity on where you’ve been undervaluing yourself. If you’ve been holding back on going after a promotion, launching a new project, or putting yourself out there, expect this cazimi to shine a spotlight on exactly why. There’s going to be a realization that you’re the one blocking your own progress by clinging to outdated insecurities or watered-down versions of your potential.
With Mercury retrograde following closely behind Venus, its own cazimi comes just two days later. This brings more mental clarity to all those swirling doubts about your purpose and direction. You may have been overthinking or spinning in circles about whether you’re on the right path. This is the moment where you’re meant to see the root of your hesitation. Maybe you’ve been communicating passively at work or not asking for what you need. Maybe there’s been a pattern of downplaying your skills in public spaces. Whatever it is, you’ll feel it rise to the surface.
The 10th house is an angular house, so changes that happen here will happen fast. . Whatever clarity or realizations hit, expect them to prompt swift decisions. This could be a conversation with a boss, changing career direction, or finally committing to something you’ve been tiptoeing around. Try not to let impulse control your moves though. Instead, reflect on what you want to be known for and let the insights settle. If old professional contacts or unresolved career issues resurface, don’t ignore them. There’s something karmic there that needs closure before you can move forward.
Leo Rising/Sun
Venus and Mercury are asking you to question what you believe to be true about yourself, your life, and the world around you. This part of your chart is the meaning you assign to everything. It’s the stories you tell yourself about all the possibilities, the rules you live by, the philosophy you’re assigned to in order to make sense of the world. If you’ve been clinging to outdated beliefs, limiting ideas, or staying inside a mental comfort zone, this energy is going to push you out of it.
Venus retrograde in Aries in your 9th house has already been highlighting where you’ve been playing it safe. Maybe you’ve outgrown certain belief systems or educational paths, but you’re still hanging onto them out of loyalty or fear. Maybe you’ve been dreaming of learning something new, traveling somewhere far, or stepping into a new spiritual practice but keep talking yourself out of it. But what’s holding you back isn’t circumstance. It may just be your own hesitation to disrupt the familiar. You’re being asked what it is you really believe in and what you really want to learn.
Mercury’s cazimi provides mental clarity about what’s been keeping you stuck. If you’ve been telling yourself that you’re not smart enough or that it’s too late to start over, the cazimi will push you to review the mental narratives that keep holding you back from your potential. However, Mercury is retrograde, so rather than acting on impulse and signing up for a dozen online courses or booking international flights tomorrow, you’re supposed to sit with these realizations. Write them down.
These cazimi’s are also in the house of different perspectives. This includes foreign cultures, wisdom traditions, mentors, and other things that challenge your own beliefs. Over the next few weeks, don’t be surprised if conversations with others (especially people outside of your usual circles) start planting seeds that make you question everything. That’s exactly what’s supposed to happen. The old version of “truth” isn’t going to hold up anymore. You’re meant to get curious, shake things up, and give yourself permission to outgrow outdated frameworks.
Be mindful of the desire to escape during this time. You may feel an urge to run from what feels restrictive and uninspiring. But be cautious with impulsive decisions. The cazimis are showing you the possibilities, but the execution comes later. If you’re feeling restless in your career, education, or spiritual path, let the discomfort guide you without making rash moves just yet. Your need for purpose is going to feel unavoidable. If you’ve been wandering aimlessly or feeling disconnected from a sense of higher meaning, this energy will make you crave more. More purpose. More understanding. More depth. If you’re not sure what that looks like yet, that’s okay. This is just a glimpse of a much larger story that will unfold later on.
Virgo Rising/Sun
These cazimi’s are pulling you deep into your psyche and asking you to confront the patterns and attachments that weigh on you. With these planets transiting the house of shadows and hidden fears, it’ll be impossible to avoid the emotional baggage that surfaces during this time. The 8th house is also about power dynamics, control, intimacy, trust, and the things we often avoid talking about until they explode. These cazimis are about to turn the lights on in the dark corners of your mind.
Maybe you’ve noticed issues around financial entanglements, shared resources, or feeling like you’re carrying emotional weight for other people. Maybe you’ve been replaying old betrayals or clinging to resentments you thought you let go of. During the Venus cazimi, you’ll suddenly see what you’ve been tolerating out of fear or guilt, and where you’ve been compromising your own emotional security. It’s going to feel raw and uncomfortable at first, but this is where the healing starts.
Mercury cazimi comes in two days later, and this is when it all starts to make sense mentally. Mercury is your chart ruler, so this hits especially deep for you. You may experience a flood of realizations around why certain patterns keep showing up in your life. Perhaps it’s a repeated fear of being abandoned, a tendency to avoid confrontation in order to keep the peace, or a habit of intellectualizing your feelings instead of truly feeling them. The Mercury cazimi will make it crystal clear where your thoughts and communication habits are feeding into emotional avoidance or power struggles.
This is the house of secrets as well, so don’t be surprised if hidden truths come out now. You may finally confess something, or someone will confess something to you. Maybe you uncover something that changes how you see a situation. This can heighten themes of intimacy and trigger questions about where you feel seen and what’s holding you back. These cazimis are calling you to release those walls, even if it feels terrifying.
This is a cycle of letting go of old baggage that’s been poisoning your well. Patterns of control, fear of betrayal, or holding onto resentment for safety. The beauty of the 8th house is transformation. You’re not meant to stay in this murky, shadowy space forever. But you can’t skip the part where you face it head-on. Journal, cry, process, and don’t run from the uncomfortable truths. The cazimis are here to strip away what’s fake, what’s been repressed, and what’s holding you back from feeling truly safe and empowered in your emotional world.
Libra Rising/Sun
The cazimi’s are moving through the area of your chart that deals with your relationships, partnerships, legal dealings, and all one-on-one connections. This is your axis of “me vs we”, and with Venus as your chart ruler, and Mercury both retrograding here, you’ve probably found yourself reevaluating and questioning the dynamics in your closest relationships. This could be romantic, platonic, or business partnerships, but whatever it is, you’re asked to look at how you’re showing up for others, what you’re giving, and what you’re receiving.
Your chart ruler Venus retrograding in its sign of detriment here has probably already brought plenty of frustrations and confusions about where you stand with something. Maybe you’ve felt neglected, misunderstood, or like you’re carrying the emotional labor. Or maybe someone from the past has popped up, making you question whether old connections still have a place in your life. The Venus cazimi will bring a clear realization about what you need in relationships and where you’ve been compromising too much for the sake of peace. Venus is in Aries, where she’s uncomfortable and self-focused, forcing you to stop people-pleasing. If you’ve been tolerating imbalances out of fear of confrontation or loss, the cazimi will make it impossible to ignore anymore.
Then, on March 24th, Mercury joins in with its cazimi moment in the same sector of your chart. This is when the conversations you’ve been avoiding might suddenly come to the surface. If there’s been miscommunication, misunderstandings, or tension simmering below the surface, expect it to erupt. Mercury in Aries tends to blurt things out abruptly, but this time, it might actually bring clarity. You or someone else might finally say what’s been sitting in the back of their mind, and while it could be blunt or messy, it will be honest. This is a chance to address unresolved conflicts, but the key is not to react impulsively. Listen. Reflect. Process. Let the truth land before making big relationship decisions.
The 7th house also rules contracts and legal dealings, so if you’ve been negotiating, planning a big business collaboration, or trying to figure out terms with someone, this period might bring a revelation about whether that partnership is really in alignment. If something feels off, trust it. If relationships have felt tense, these transits will help you see why. Libra risings tend to avoid conflict to keep the peace, but right now, avoidance isn’t serving you. These cazimis are asking you to face the uncomfortable truths in your closest connections. Let this period clear the air and recalibrate how you approach connection.
Scorpio Rising/Sun
These cazimi’s aren’t moving through the most glamorous part of your chart, but they’re illuminating the parts that make up your daily routines, work responsibilities, physical health, mental stress, and all the little tasks that make up daily life. There’s a spotlight put on the cracks in your daily structure and you’re going to have to confront what’s working for your foundation and what’s not. If you’ve been overcommitting, neglecting your body, or pushing through stress without addressing the root of it, expect a major realization on why.
You’ve probably been feeling as if you’re constantly doing for others (clients, coworkers, family), but losing sight of your own needs in the process. If you’ve been tolerating an unhealthy routine, especially one that drains your energy, now is the chance to tweak it. You can’t put it off much longer. You’re suddenly going to realize that certain things are not working for you anymore. It’s time to get clear on what drains you and what you’re doing out of obligation. How are your daily habits impacting your well-being? Venus in Aries is incredibly selfish, but the Sun is encouraging this self-centered attitude. You need to stop self-sacrificing and begin setting boundaries with your time and energy. The cazimi will highlight the importance of doing so.
Mercury retrograding in the same sector of your chart has brought on a lot of mental clutter and stress you’ve been internalizing. But these things are ready to come out and form into a much needed conversation. You might realize that the reason you’re burned out isn’t because you’re incapable but because you’re juggling more than you can handle. Mercury retrograde has been stirring up missed deadlines, miscommunications at work, or health issues that you’ve been brushing off. But during the cazimi, clarity drops in. Suddenly, you realize you’ve been neglecting your health in favor of work, or where you need to restructure your daily flow to reduce stress. This is a perfect time to rework your calendar, cut out unnecessary commitments, and focus on what actually serves you.
The 6th house also rules the relationship between mind and body. If you’ve been ignoring stress signals or feeling physically off, this is the time to pay attention. These transits could reveal where you’ve been holding onto tension or pushing yourself beyond reasonable limits. Venus and Mercury retrograde both in this sector suggest that rest, recalibration, and gentle routines are necessary right now. Don’t be surprised if old patterns around overworking or people-pleasing at the expense of your mental and physical health come up to the surface now. This is the time to confront it. You might also reconnect with past work opportunities, old routines that once served you well, or even people from your professional past who reappear to teach you something.
You may also start to notice patterns around how you handle responsibility. Are you taking on everyone else’s problems? Are you working overtime for little recognition? Are you neglecting yourself because of guilt? These cazimis will help you recognize where you’ve been overextending or undervaluing yourself. It’s a reality check around the type of work you do, the energy you give, and whether it’s aligned with your values. This is your chance to stop glorifying burnout and start prioritizing sustainability.
Sagittarius Rising/Sun
Venus and Mercury are moving through your house of joy, creativity, romance, pleasure, children, and everything that makes life feel meaningful. But with both these planets retrograde, you may have been feeling blocked lately in the exact areas that are supposed to bring you happiness. These retrogrades can make it easy for you to doubt yourself when it comes to creative projects or feel disconnected from romance. It might even feel like the spark you usually have for fun and playfulness has been dimmed. These retrogrades have been trying to show you where you’ve been holding yourself back from joy and why.
Venus retrograde in your 5th house has you questioning what makes you feel truly happy or why you feel stuck in old patterns of over-giving and not receiving. You could also be rethinking romantic connections or noticing that past flings or old love patterns are resurfacing. But with the cazimi, you finally receive some clarity, even if it’s for a brief moment. You’re hit with the realization of what has been dimming your light and where you’re compromising your desire. You’re pushed to make space for more pleasure in your life and to indulge in what makes you feel alive.
Mercury’s cazimi will help you untangle the mental knots here as well. You might finally figure out why you’ve been creatively blocked or why romance has felt flat. If you’ve been feeling insecurities around your own self-expression or living in fear of being judged if you put yourself out there, during the cazimi, you might realize that you’ve been talking yourself out of joy, downplaying your talents, or overthinking every little move instead of just allowing yourself to play and experiment.
Maybe you’ve been too cautious and holding yourself back from taking leaps in your creative work or love life. But truly, what’s stopping you? If you’re a parent, these transits might also bring clarity around your relationship with your children or the way you show up in nurturing their creativity. You might recognize patterns that need adjusting, whether that’s about control, letting them express themselves more freely, or supporting them in new ways.
These transits are helping you confront any guilt you’ve been carrying around joy. Do you feel like you have to “earn” pleasure? Have you been denying yourself happiness out of fear that you don’t deserve it or that it’s irresponsible? Venus and Mercury retrograde are exposing those unconscious beliefs and asking you to rewrite them.
Capricorn Rising/Sun
This cazimi is happening in one of the most personal and tender parts of your chart. This is the foundation of everything. It’s your home, your family, your sense of belonging, your roots, and even the karmic patterns you carry from your upbringing. It’s also the most hidden part of your chart where things sit quietly beneath the surface until they finally require your attention. And right now, all these things are being illuminated.
Venus retrograde has probably felt heavy. You may have been questioning what “home” even means to you lately. Maybe there’s been tension in your family life, or old family patterns that you thought you had left behind are popping back up. Or, maybe there’s a disconnect between who you are in the world (strong, responsible) and who you are when no one’s watching. The cazimi may bring some blunt clarity about where you’ve been sacrificing personal comfort and where you’ve been avoiding emotional honesty to keep the peace. You may suddenly realize you’ve been compromising too much in your home life or clinging to outdated family dynamics that no longer support who you are becoming.
Mercury retrograde has also been bringing up old memories, family conversations, and unresolved issues from childhood, too. Things you thought you’d buried long ago are asking to be re-examined. You may find yourself reflecting on old family wounds, questioning inherited beliefs about safety, security, and success, and noticing how those patterns still shape your life today.
You’ve likely been confronting whether the structures you’ve built around you ( home, family relationships, the habits in your private life) are supporting or suffocating you. Mercury cazimi will help you articulate what’s been brewing inside but hard to put into words. You might finally admit to yourself (or even say out loud) where you feel unsupported, unseen, or exhausted from carrying burdens that aren’t yours.
Family patterns are huge right now. If you’ve been repeating dynamics from your upbringing in your own home or relationships, this is the time you’ll notice them loud and clear. Venus retrograde strips away the pretense and shows you where love has been conditional or where you’ve been playing a role just to feel accepted. Mercury’s cazimi will give you the language to name those patterns. You may also find that conversations with family members are unavoidable now, but they may not go the way you expect.
If you’ve been thinking about your physical living situation, these transits might spark a desire for change. You may find yourself craving a space that feels more aligned with who you are now. Or perhaps you’re finally acknowledging that certain environments drain you. On the other hand, you might find yourself working through patterns that have been passed down for generations, realizing that the weight you’re carrying isn’t entirely yours. These cazimis offer an opportunity to release that weight and begin creating a new narrative for what home and family mean to you.
Aquarius Rising/Sun
You’ve probably been feeling a little scrambled or doubting yourself when it comes to expression. Plans have likely been hitting the wall, and nothing is coming out right. Or you’ve been holding things in, questioning whether your voice even matters. With Mercury and Venus moving through the part of your chart that rules communication, learning, daily routines, siblings, short-distance travel, and the way you process and share information. This is the house of your voice, your thoughts, and how you interact with the world on a day-to-day basis.
The cazimi’s are giving you a mental break and allowing you to see clearly why certain conversations haven’t been landing or why you’ve been avoiding certain discussions altogether. Venus retrograde in Aries has had you questioning your relationships and the way you communicate your needs and desires. In the 3rd house, this can manifest as difficulty expressing what you really want without either softening your words too much or coming off too blunt. The cazimi will help you realize where you’ve been tiptoeing around the truth or compromising your communication style in order to keep the peace. This moment could inspire you to finally say what needs to be said.
But the 3rd house isn’t just about what you say to others. It’s also the inner dialogue you have with yourself. You may suddenly become aware of how harsh or self critical that voice has been lately. Maybe you’ve been talking yourself out of pursuing a project, writing that thing you’ve wanted to write, or sharing your ideas. The Venus cazimi will show you that you deserve to express yourself without apology. Mercury’s cazimi will allow these things to make sense. Something clicks. You might suddenly understand what’s been holding you back in your daily life or why you’ve been feeling misunderstood. But remember, Mercury is still retrograde, which means you’re meant to reflect and process, not rush to resolve.
This house can also bring up issues with siblings or extended family members. Conversations that have been avoided could suddenly resurface. If there’s been tension, these cazimis could prompt important dialogues. But they may be heated or blunt. Be careful not to let frustration boil over. Instead, use this energy to clear the air in a constructive way.
You might also find your mind racing with ideas, especially around writing, teaching, or learning. These are great transits for journaling or brainstorming, but not necessarily for launching a project. Your daily routines could also feel like they’re up for review. Maybe the way you’ve been handling your day-to-day responsibilities isn’t working anymore, and you’re starting to see where things feel out of balance. The cazimis will highlight where you’ve been overextending yourself or not communicating your needs to the people around you.
This is also a good time to pay attention to signs, synchronicities, and small messages. The 3rd house rules short journeys and daily interactions. It’s the little things that often carry big meaning when we slow down enough to notice them. Someone might say something offhand that triggers a huge realization for you. Or a random conversation might nudge you toward a direction you didn’t see before. Stay curious and open to these nudges.
Pisces Rising/Sun
The cazimi’s are shining a spotlight into your house of money, income, possessions, resources, and your self-worth. This is the part of your chart that speaks to how you support yourself and what you believe you deserve. With both Venus and Mercury retrograde here, you’ve likely been feeling a bit shaky when it comes to finances or questioning your relationship with money and value. This house also highlights how secure and grounded you feel in your ability to support yourself and stand on your own two feet, so realizations may pop up around these themes too.
Venus rules value, beauty, and resources, and with Venus moving through this sector in your chart in retrograde motion, you’re being asked to consider what truly matters. In Aries and retrograde, this energy has been encouraging you to stop relying on external validation and start trusting in your own ability to create, earn, and sustain. The cazimi will bring you a sudden realization that you’re allowed to want more and expect more. If you’ve been compromising, lowering your rates, holding back on going after what you want because you’re scared it won’t pan out, this cazimi is pushing you to make things happen for yourself without guilt.
When Mercury aligns with the Sun on March 24th, the mental fog around money and self-worth begins to clear. Maybe you’ve been confused about how to budget, stuck on whether to make an investment, or hesitant to launch something new. This Mercury cazimi is the moment you’ll see the core issue where either you’ve been playing small, doubting your talents, or clinging to financial habits that no longer serve you. It’s going to feel like a spotlight is suddenly shining on your financial fears, but also on your untapped potential.
However, Mercury and Venus are retrograde. So it’s not the best time to make major financial decisions or impulsively spend money. Instead, you’re encouraged to reflect, review, and re-strategize. If you’re considering raising your prices, changing jobs, or shifting your approach to how you make money, write it all down. Let the ideas come, but sit on them for now. The right time to act will come once these retrogrades are over.
This transit could also stir up insecurities around your worthiness and what you think you deserve to receive in relationships in business. If you’ve been accepting crumbs from people or allowing others to undervalue you, you’re going to feel a serious push to stop. The 2nd house teaches us that if we don’t value ourselves, no one else will.
You may also be reviewing how you spend money. Are you using it to comfort yourself when things feel uncertain, or are you investing it into things that actually build security and joy? If you’ve been careless with your spending or on autopilot with subscriptions and small expenses, this transit may illuminate how much is slipping through the cracks. Mercury and Venus cazimi in the 2nd house ask you to get honest about what truly makes you feel abundant and secure on the inside, not just what looks good on paper.
Also, don’t be surprised if old financial opportunities or past clients resurface now. Mercury retrograde has a funny way of bringing back things from the past for one last review. If someone owes you money, they might reach out. If you left a job unfinished, it might suddenly return to your plate. Take note of these opportunities, but again, don’t rush.
