Weekly Energetic Update 3.17.25

How are we feeling after the Lunar Eclipse? Is everyone still a little raw from having to reflect and redefine areas of our lives that need to be shed? Well, the good news is that this week we get a little kick in our ass because Ram season is coming in full swing! As we enter Aries season and celebrate the Astrological New Year, big and significant energy is headed our way. The energy around us is shifting, creating excitement and momentum. However, the start of two important retrogrades calls for even more reflection and reassessment.

Energy as of Monday

The week kicks off with the Moon in Scorpio, an energy that probes deep emotions and facilitates transformation. And after the end of last week, this moon is going to have us feeling a little extra testy if we are resistant to the changes to come. This intense lunar phase may bring buried feelings to the surface, offering us a chance to heal and release old wounds. If you've been holding onto past grievances in relationships, this week encourages you to confront these emotions directly. Time to deal with it or get over it, no more hanging onto it.

With Venus Retrograde in Aries still going on, expect significant shifts in your perceptions of love, finances, and self-worth. This is not just about looking back but actively reassessing how we value ourselves and our relationships. A study by the Institute for the Study of Human Flourishing indicates that 67% of people report improved relationship dynamics when they take time for self-reflection. This week might be perfect to have an open conversation with a partner about core values, highlighting what truly matters in your connection.

Additionally, as we approach the Spring Equinox, a palpable tension fills the atmosphere. Many feel caught between nostalgia for what was and anticipation for what’s to come. This internal conflict, while uncomfortable, is crucial for paving the way for the fresh beginnings that the Aries season promises.

New to this Week

The most notable shift to the collective this week is the Sun moving into Aries, resetting the Astrology Wheel, and beginning us once again around the wheel to learn the lessons of what it is to be human. The Sun entering Aries on March 20 marks the Spring Equinox, a time of rebirth and fresh energy. This transition sparks a strong urge for action and personal leadership. Harnessing this energy can set the stage for exciting new adventures. Intentions set during this period are especially potent. If the last 3 months have been steps to a plan, this is the step that you do something about it on paper. In the winter we were planning, restructuring, and seeing what ideas had merit and which ones were to just stay dreams. Aries season is when we start the steps to make the dreams 3d, to bring them to life. Aries is the spark of a flame. The spark can either sputter to nothing or it can launch a forest fire.

With this in mind, the energy of the different retrogrades still plays heavy on the collective. Venus and Mercury are not only both retrograding, but they are both in Aries right now. Once we shift into Aries season, we are going to see these retrogrades highlighted even more over the next few weeks. As mentioned earlier, expect situations around the themes of your relationships, self-worth, values, love, communication, and understanding to play a big role in your day-to-day and where your energy is focused most. Aries is bold, erratic at times (saying this as an Aries Sun & Mercury natally), and action-orientated so diving into this energy can be a double-edged sword. Some will use this energy to make the bold moves they have been too fearful to take in the past, others will lean heavily on their old patterns and find themselves in situations where they are misunderstood and/or tiffing with someone over speaking too boldly without thinking. You will find my advice for the next few weeks is similar to the same advice I have been giving, go forth with grounded actions and find time to center yourself daily.

How to Maximize This Week's Energy

With Aries's heavy energy right off the bat this Aries season, here are some ways to get the most out of this week to set you up for a successful Spring:

• Set Intentions for the New Year

  • Capitalize on the potent energy of Aries season by setting clear and actionable goals. Aries season gives off New Year's energy, utilize it! Write down your professional or personal aspirations because stating these dreams is crucial for manifestation. The more specific you are, the better. For instance, instead of saying "I want to get fit," articulate "I aim to run a 5K in three months." Plan practical steps to make those intentions come to life.

• Reevaluate Relationships & Commitments

  • With Venus retrograde influencing our connections, this is a prime time to assess your relationships. Consider what aspects are working and which ones need attention. Important conversations could lead to greater alignment and support. Aim to have these discussions with at least one significant person in your life this week.

• Prioritize Shadow Work

  • The Scorpio Moon at the start of the week encourages shadow work—confronting fears and releasing emotional baggage. Practical activities like journaling or engaging in meditation can facilitate this journey of self-discovery. This will also help any stragglers from the Lunar Eclipse shedding to be removed as well.

• Take Action

  • Aries season advocates for boldness. Use this fiery energy to push forward in areas where you have felt stuck. Consider launching a personal project or starting a new routine. Whether signing up for a new class or taking the gamble on a creative hobby, now is the time to act. Embrace this moment and channel your passions into meaningful changes. Just make sure you are being bold, not impulsive. Aries energy walks that fine line.

This week is a vibrant mix of renewal and introspection. While Aries season ignites motivation and fresh beginnings, the retrograde energies call for critical reflection. It’s essential to find a balance between excitement and contemplation. During this continued transformative time, focus on setting intentions, reassessing relationships, and diving deep into healing work. As we enter this new astrological chapter, seek clarity and strength in the energies surrounding you. Embrace the change and approach the year ahead with a renewed sense of empowerment.
