What the solar eclipse in Aries on March 29 means for your zodiac sign

The last eclipse of spring 2025 is happening on March 29, following the lunar eclipse earlier this month.

The action will unfold over a period of about 20 minutes on Saturday morning — specifically, from 6:46 am ET through 7:04 a.m. ET, according to Time And Date — and will be visible in eastern North America, most of Europe, western Africa and northern Asia.

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon stands between the sun and Earth. This is a partial eclipse, so the moon will only partly block the sun — not creating the full-on effect seen during the eclipse last April.

Astrologically, solar eclipses mark moments of destiny. The universe is bringing matters to light in unexpected ways, offering us the chance to improve our personal situations. Unexpected and unforeseen circumstances that have been put on the back burner become the focal point, encouraging us to evolve.

Here is the astrological meaning of March’s solar eclipse in Aries

Astrologers believe this particular solar eclipse will shake up our lives, bringing in fresh energy and new hopes.

The solar eclipse is in the fire sign Aries, bringing our passions and desires to the forefront of the day’s cosmic energy. It’s an opportunity to make immense strides in areas that need to transform.

The caveat is that Mercury and Venus retrograde might slow down matters from evolving swiftly, so let growth happen in its time. Be patient and kind, rather than acting out emotions.

We are now moving forward with our dreams and visions at the hands of fate. Now’s the time to believe in the big picture of what is to come in the future.

Taurus

The eclipse urges you to take time off from the daily grind and focus on R&R. Before you push yourself to take on more than you can chew, remember that this time is a call to heal your body and mind. Decompress and unwind now.

Gemini

Your financial and business prosperity is counting on your ability to step out into the world and let your voice be heard. You have strong opinions, and you cannot hide what you are thinking during the eclipse. Inspires you to discuss your visions with colleagues and management.

Libra

Matters surrounding romantic situations can create illusions and unforeseen circumstances. This add to the confusion between what your heart wants and tricks that you once thought love should be based on misconceptions formed from the delusions you believe in. Authentic connections can be made by being honest with your partner.

Do not settle for anything less than what you deserve. Although you tend to be passive at times to avoid unnecessary confrontation, the eclipse is giving you the strength and motivation to get what you want and need when it comes to relationships and family matters.

Aquarius

Emotions will be high, especially with Mercury’s retrograde deepening sentiments and thinking about past wounds. Try to be compassionate with others when asserting your feelings to avoid making a scene or adding drama to a delicate situation with those you love.

Pisces

As long as you save your pennies for a rainy day, you can be in a position to create a better relationship with money. Try paying off your debts and getting your situation in order to lead you to a freer place.
