General Daily Insight for March 25, 2025
Our words carry extra weight today, but that weight may just be dragging us down. The Moon in Aquarius starts out with an eye-opening trine to lucky Jupiter in Gemini, encouraging us to communicate with one another and take chances. However, Mercury Retrograde will sextile alchemical Pluto at 6:02 pm EDT, which can make our thoughts and ideas more intense than usual — but not necessarily any closer to the truth. Avoid getting on any soapboxes, because the audience isn’t likely to be very appreciative.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
People will remember what you say — especially if what you say is incorrect or foolish. And with Mercury currently retrograde in your headstrong sign, you may stumble over your tongue every time you try to speak. Your possible audience is unusually large, too, as Mercury aligns with Pluto in your social sector. If there has ever been a time to let other people do the talking, this would be it. The fallout of a few poorly chosen words won’t be worth it.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
It isn’t a bad idea to dust off a few old ones. You can return to projects formerly left on the back burner while Mercury is retrograde in your resolute 12th house, guiding you through turning a careful eye to issues you forgot about. One of these ideas or projects could prove professionally promising as Mercury sextiles Pluto in your career quadrant. That said, make sure you aren’t attempting to begin anything brand-new, as retrogrades mainly benefit things already in the works.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Old friends can introduce you to new possibilities. A special sextile between your ruler Mercury in your 11th House of Humanity and Pluto in your 9th House of Experiences is making this the perfect moment to come together and do something to broaden your horizons. Even so, Mercury is shifting retrograde, so don’t attempt to bring unfamiliar ideas or people into the picture. Instead, train your focus on former concepts and projects that may have gotten glazed over during previous explorations.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
It’s a good day to work behind the scenes. Mercury is retrograde in your 10th House of Prestige, so consider forgoing any big reveals and stepping back from potential projects. You can still make progress outside of the spotlight as Mercury sextiles Pluto in your 8th House of Joint Resources. Important collaborators could prove invaluable as well, showing you the ideal methods to improve your ongoing goals and ambitions. Just make sure you stay focused on those projects that are already in progress.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Today could be filled with issues of translation. Retrograde Mercury is in your explorative 9th house, increasing the importance of calm. Don’t try to cram too many experiences into any particular moment. One person might make you very aware of this as Mercury sextiles Pluto in your relationship-focused 7th house! There may be a few misunderstandings between the two of you, possibly regarding your background or assumed experiences. A good rule of thumb for the time being is to not assume anything.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Don’t push yourself too much — unless you want to burn out. Today’s energetic sextile between clever Mercury in your all-or-nothing 8th house and Pluto in your skilled 6th house can make for a productive day, except — you guessed it — Mercury is still retrograde. Rather than piling things onto your to-do list, concentrate only on the things you know need to be taken care of ASAP. You can move mountains another time, once the planets are better aligned for your advancement.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
It isn’t other people’s job to make you happy. You may experience a bit of conflict or miscommunication with someone special while Mercury is retrograding through your partnership zone. While Mercury’s angle to Pluto in your playful 5th house can make you want someone to bring magic into your life, that isn’t automatically anyone else’s responsibility. The more you expect of someone, the more you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Be responsible for the only thing you truly can control: yourself.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
You may feel unusually unproductive. Tricky Mercury is retrograde in your 6th House of Daily Work, making it difficult to cut through the red tape and actually feel like you’re using your time wisely. Mercury is also sextiling Pluto in your 4th House of Moods, which could make you more sensitive about your workload or that pending to-do list. Be leery of attempting to change up the program, because no matter how hard you push, you will probably keep running into walls.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Expressing yourself is essential, but you must do so carefully. A supportive sextile between Mercury in your 5th House of Diversions and Pluto in your 3rd House of Correspondence is setting you up to find your place center stage. The fly in the ointment is Mercury Retrograde, potentially arranging things so you trip yourself up when everyone is watching. Consider today more like a rehearsal opportunity to fine-tune your performance, then put on a show when the stars are ready to help you shine.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater! Extra spring cleaning may sound wise as Mercury in your domestic 4th house aligns with Pluto in your avaricious 2nd house, but with Mercury continuing to backslide, you may get so wrapped up in the process that you overdo it by a long shot. Be wary of clearing out something you might actually want later on. Give yourself time to meditate before you get rid of anything, because your feelings may change sooner than expected.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Watch your words, Aquarius. Cosmic communicator Mercury in your loquacious 3rd house is aligning with Pluto in your unconventional sign, which may spur you to say whatever is on your mind without considering the repercussions. This effect is especially dangerous during the ongoing Mercury Retrograde. Err on the side of caution — if you can’t decide whether something is necessary to say, then don’t say it. Likewise, avoid signing off on any important agreements or contracts until the stars are more supportive.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Getting a clear picture of whatever is in front of you isn’t easy. You may think you know what’s what while Mercury is in your grounded 2nd house, but with its retrograde dizziness, you’re probably missing something important — especially as it sextiles Pluto in your 12th House of Sorrow. If something seems like a good idea, or even a lucrative one, it is only too possible that time will prove otherwise. Don’t distract yourself with things that won’t actually stick.
