Aries Fire, Pisces Depth & the Power of Why
Today’s Astrology – March 25, 2025
by Laura | Psychic Medium & Astrologer at Northern Light Lotus
⸻
Hey friend,
If you’re just finding me for the first time—welcome. I’m Laura, a psychic medium and astrologer who blends astrology with intuition and Spirit to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered.
Each day, I tune into the cosmos and offer insights from the heart, weaving together astrology, energy, and healing guidance you can actually use. Here’s what’s unfolding in the sky today.
⸻
Planetary Retrogrades Active Today
There’s a lot of forward-pulling Aries energy in the sky, but with some important planets in retrograde, we’re being asked to pause and reflect before rushing into anything.
Current Retrogrades:
• Mercury retrograde in Aries – Mental clarity is foggy; watch impulsive speech, tech glitches, and misunderstandings. It’s a time for re-evaluating, not reacting.
• Venus retrograde in Aries – Relationships, values, and money themes are surfacing for revision. Old flames or patterns may reappear to be healed or released.
• North Node retrograde in Pisces – Collective soul lessons are steeped in reflection, asking us to slow down and re-examine our spiritual path and emotional growth.
⸻
The Chart at a Glance
Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Aries
A strong Aries cluster gives us a Cardinal fire spark—ideal for leadership, courage, and bold beginnings. But retrogrades ask us to turn that fire inward. Instead of launching forward, we’re guided to reignite something that once burned within us.
Mars in Cancer Square Chiron in Aries
This square creates a push-pull between emotional armor and personal healing. You might feel the urge to protect yourself by shutting down or pulling away. If that’s the case, give your inner child a moment of comfort. You don’t have to fight your feelings to prove you’re strong.
Moon in Aquarius Trine Jupiter in Gemini
This energy supports mental breakthroughs and heart-led conversations, especially within friendships or communities. If something has been weighing on you, today offers the clarity to speak with grace.
⸻
Key Stellium: Pisces + Aries on the Midheaven
We’ve got a magical blend of Pisces (Neptune, Saturn, North Node) and early Aries planets clustering around the Midheaven—your public path, reputation, and purpose.
This configuration is a spiritual checkpoint.
It’s a time to ask yourself:
Am I choosing ambition that’s aligned with my soul, or chasing something that no longer reflects who I’ve become?
⸻
Today’s Chart Shape: Bowl
With all planets on one side of the chart, energy feels concentrated. You may feel like you’re carrying a lot emotionally or energetically, especially if you’re trying to balance others’ needs with your own. Give yourself space to refill your own cup.
⸻
Lack of Earth + Cardinal Mode Dominant
There’s a clear imbalance today:
• No inner planets in Earth signs – You may struggle to feel grounded. Focus on nourishing routines, simple meals, or connecting with your physical body.
• Cardinal mode dominant – You’re likely feeling the itch to begin something, even if you’re unsure what. Let inspiration guide you gently. Don’t force it.
⸻
Spirit’s Message Today
“You are not behind—you are on the path of rediscovery.”
This day holds space for second chances. Whether in love, healing, or self-expression, the universe is gently saying:
‘Let’s try this again… but from a deeper, more honest place.’
Let that energy guide your conversations, your self-talk, and how you respond to discomfort. There’s no rush. There’s only the next right step.
⸻
So what does all this mean for you?
The planets are speaking to everyone right now, but depending on your zodiac sign, the energy might be showing up in different ways. Whether you’re feeling inspired, emotional, overwhelmed, or somewhere in between—you’re not alone.
Below, I’ve shared a horoscope for each sign to help you get a sense of how today’s astrology might be unfolding in your life. You can start with your Sun sign (based on your birthday) to get a general vibe, and if you know your Rising or Moon sign, those will give you even deeper insight.
If you’re curious about what all of this means for you personally, I’d love to help you explore the deeper layers of your birth chart. It’s like unlocking your cosmic blueprint—and it can be such a powerful tool for healing, growth, and clarity.
Let’s dive into today’s horoscopes.
⸻
Aries – Rewriting Your Story
You’re reflecting deeply on who you are and how you show up in relationships. With Mercury and Venus both moving backward in your sign, you might be thinking a lot about the past—especially things you wish you’d said or done differently. That doesn’t mean you’re stuck. It means you’re healing and learning who you want to be now.
Tip: Write down three ways you’ve changed for the better this year—even if no one else sees it yet.
⸻
Taurus – Time to Rest and Recharge
You might feel more sensitive today, especially if you’ve been carrying the weight of everyone else’s emotions. You’re being called to slow down and tune into your own needs, even if that means stepping back from the noise around you. Your peace is sacred. Don’t let guilt talk you out of rest.
Tip: Take some quiet time just for you. Close your eyes, breathe, and remind yourself you don’t have to earn rest.
⸻
Gemini – Revisiting Old Dreams
You’ve got a lot of ideas right now, and they’re not just random—they’re trying to lead you somewhere meaningful. An old passion or project might be calling your name again. Give it another look. You don’t have to finish it all today, just reconnect with it. The spark is still there.
Tip: Look back at something you started but never finished. Ask yourself: does this still light me up?
⸻
Cancer – Rebuilding Confidence
Lately, you may have felt unsure of where you’re headed—or like you’re carrying too much emotional weight. That’s okay. You’re growing into someone who’s learning how to feel confident without needing approval from others. The world doesn’t need a perfect version of you—it needs the real one.
Tip: Take one small step toward a personal goal, even if you’re scared. Prove to yourself that you can.
⸻
Leo – Shifting What You Believe
Your beliefs about life, love, or what success means to you might be shifting. Maybe something you used to chase just doesn’t excite you anymore. That’s not failure—it’s growth. Let yourself explore new ideas, even if they don’t totally make sense yet.
Tip: Write down something you believed last year that no longer fits. Then write what you believe now instead.
⸻
Virgo – Letting Go of Emotional Clutter
Old emotions may be surfacing, especially around past relationships or things that didn’t go how you hoped. Instead of pushing those feelings down, take a moment to listen to them. You’re clearing space for deeper healing—and deeper love.
Tip: Let go of something that reminds you of a hurt you’ve outgrown. A note, a photo, a thought pattern—it all counts.
⸻
Libra – What Does Love Really Mean to You?
Whether you’re single or partnered, your relationships are teaching you something important right now. You’re learning how to stop people-pleasing and start expressing what you really need. That might feel scary—but it’s also what leads to deeper connection.
Tip: Speak up about something that matters to you. You don’t have to say it perfectly—just say it honestly.
⸻
Scorpio – Gentle Structure, Not Perfection
You’ve been running on empty for a while now, and your body is asking you to slow down. Even if you like to stay productive, this is a day to check in with your routines and see what’s truly supporting you—and what’s just stressing you out.
Tip: Do one thing today that supports your well-being. It doesn’t have to be big. A stretch, a walk, a nourishing meal—it all helps.
⸻
Sagittarius – Rekindling Joy
There’s a part of you that’s craving fun, passion, and creativity again—but you might also be carrying some old wounds around love or self-expression. Don’t brush those feelings away. Listen to what your heart is asking for, then take a small step toward joy.
Tip: Do something today that your younger self would’ve loved. Laugh, play, create—without needing a reason.
⸻
Capricorn – Coming Home to Yourself
You may be feeling extra emotional around home, family, or your roots. Something from the past might be surfacing—not to hurt you, but to remind you of what truly matters. You’re being invited to come back to yourself and make your world feel more like you.
Tip: Rearrange or refresh one space around you so it feels more comforting, more you.
⸻
Aquarius – Speak from the Heart
Your mind is active today, but your heart is what holds the truth. You might be tempted to overthink things or second-guess what someone said. Don’t spiral. Come back to how you feel. Let that guide how you respond.
Tip: Pause before reacting. Ask yourself: what emotion is really behind what I want to say?
⸻
Pisces – Stepping into the Spotlight
This is a powerful day for you, Pisces. So many planets are sitting in your sign right now, and it might feel intense. You’re being seen more clearly by others—and that can feel vulnerable. But Spirit is reminding you: you don’t have to hide anymore. You’re ready to shine, softly and fully.
Tip: Say yes to something that stretches you—even if you feel nervous. You’re more ready than you think.
⸻
Before we wrap up…
I pulled a card for us today, and it’s deeply in tune with the energy we’ve been sitting with. After all this cosmic reflection, Spirit is inviting us to go even deeper—not just into what we’re doing or feeling, but why. The answers we’re searching for might not be out there—they’re already within us, waiting to be named.
Here’s the card that came through:
⸻
✨ Card of the Day: Why ✨
Wisdom of the Oracle Divination Cards – Colette Baron-Reid
Today’s Oracle card is Why—and it couldn’t have shown up at a better time.
This card is all about intention. It asks us to pause and look beneath the surface—not just at what we want or what we’re doing, but why we’re doing it. Spirit is gently encouraging us to explore the deeper motives behind our choices, reactions, and questions.
We might think we want something—a relationship, a change, a yes, a no—but underneath that desire is a story, a belief, or a feeling that’s quietly shaping our path. The Why card reminds us that the energy behind our actions matters just as much as the action itself.
So today, we’re being invited to reflect honestly:
• Why am I pursuing this goal?
• Why do I feel stuck, rushed, or drawn toward this path?
• Why am I making this choice—or holding back from it?
Sometimes our “why” is grounded in love, alignment, and growth. Other times, it’s tangled up in fear, old patterns, or people-pleasing. And that’s okay. We don’t have to judge it—we just need to be curious and kind as we look within.
The “why” isn’t always logical. It’s something we feel—a soft knowing that lives in the body, in the soul, in those quiet inner nudges we often overlook. It might sound like:
“I want to feel safe.”
“I want to be seen.”
“I want to come home to myself.”
When we take the time to listen to our “why,” we reconnect with our truth—and from that place, we can create real alignment. The Why card is the seed. And when we nurture that seed with honesty and intention, it has the potential to grow into something truly beautiful.
⸻
Journal Prompt for Today:
What’s one thing I’ve been striving for—or struggling with—lately?
When I gently peel back the layers, what’s the “why” behind it?
What is my soul really asking for right now?
⸻
Something I’m Sitting With Today
This card pulled me inward too.
Lately, I’ve been learning that I am allowed to protect my peace.
I can love someone deeply and still say no to chaos.
I am not selfish for needing space to breathe, grow, and choose what’s right for me.
My heart is sacred, strong, and worthy of stability.
I don’t need to prove my worth to anyone who can’t meet me with love and respect.
I don’t need to stay in survival mode just to keep someone else comfortable.
I am building a life that reflects the love I give so freely.
And I am allowed to guard my heart while I do it.
This retrograde season, I’m truly finding strength in self-reflection rather than reaction.
The more I try to control, the more I realize that the only thing I can actually control is me.
So, I’m slowing down, checking in, and getting honest with myself.
I’m asking: What’s my real “why”?
And if you’re doing the same, know this—you’re not alone. Spirit is walking with you too.
⸻
As We Close…
If today’s post spoke to something inside you—whether it was the astrology, the Oracle card, or my personal reflection—I just want to say thank you for being here.
This space is meant for moments like this: where we can slow down, breathe, and remember that we’re not walking this path alone. Whether you’re processing something tender, rediscovering your “why,” or simply trying to stay grounded in the middle of it all… I’m right there with you.
Beyond astrology, I also work as a psychic medium, blending intuitive guidance with Spirit’s messages to help you feel seen, supported, and deeply connected. If you’re feeling called to understand more about your soul’s path—or if you just need someone to hold space with you while you figure things out—I’d be honored to connect.
