Weekly Horoscope Mercury Retrograde
Vogue Arabia March 2025

If everything feels awry at the moment, know that you’re not alone. We are moving through the eclipse tunnel until March 3, and uncertainty is a part of this package. What’s more, we’ve got Mercury moving into retrograde again, bringing communication-related issues to the fore. Here’s something to keep in mind when you find yourself overthinking: not every issue needs to be solved immediately. Honour the invitation to rest and reflect. The pause will enable you to tune into your feelings and clarify your intentions.

Scorpio, you’re likely to feel this shift the most. Pay close attention to your triggers and what they’re revealing to you. Recognise what you don’t need to carry into the future with you. Taurus, you’re on the brink of a breakthrough. You’re in the process of creating a new reality for yourself. Here’s the thing, though: in order to step into this timeline, you will have to let go of your fixed ideas of what life should or shouldn’t look like as you accept the invitation to unlearn, experiment, and explore. Pisces. you’re being called to lead with discernment. This means making decisions from a place of self-trust rather than second-guessing yourself or outsourcing your authority. You already know what needs to be done. The magic lies in articulating it clearly, setting boundaries around your time and energy, and backing your ideas with strategy.

So, what does the week ahead have in store for the rest of the signs? Let’s find out! Remember, these are guidance-based horoscopes that can be read according to your Sun, Moon or Rising Signs (Tropical or Sidereal). Take what resonates and let go of the rest!

Pisces

Right now, you’re experiencing a greater degree of clarity and courage. You’re able to accept with grace the things that didn’t work out and take a bold step in the direction of your dreams and desires. Just don’t expect everything to fall into place immediately. Moving mindfully will serve you well as we are still in the midst of eclipse season. On the professional front, you’re being called to lead with discernment. This means making decisions from a place of self-trust rather than second-guessing yourself or outsourcing your authority. You already know what needs to be done. The magic lies in articulating it clearly, setting boundaries around your time and energy, and backing your ideas with strategy. Your mind is powerful right now. Use it to plan, prioritise, and communicate your vision with confidence.

Aries

Here’s a conspiracy theory we need you to get on board: everything is transpiring in your favour, despite how things may appear on the outside. Instead of rushing forward, which you’re likely to, take a moment to introspect. Take a moment to integrate the lessons of the past — and to turn your knowledge into wisdom. That said, Pisces season sees you stepping into your prosperity timeline in style. Trust that both your wants and your needs will be taken care of in the most unexpected of ways.

Taurus

You’re on the brink of a breakthrough, Taurus. You’re in the process of creating a new reality for yourself. Here’s the thing, though: in order to step into this timeline, you will have to let go of your fixed ideas of what life should or shouldn’t look like as you accept the invitation to unlearn, experiment, and explore. Breaking free from the old paradigm isn’t a one-step process. But you possess the strength, courage and wisdom required to rewrite the narrative. That said, the opportunity to explore the unexplored may also be on the cards. Here’s to people and places that inspire the best in you and nudge The Muse within to come out and play!

Gemini

Gemini, clarity and communication are your secret weapons right now. It’s easy to assume people just “get you” without saying much, but even the deepest bonds need honest conversations to thrive. So, speak your mind and hold space for “the other” to do just the same. This will eliminate any unnecessary confusion, especially when your ruling planet is in retrograde. When it comes to love and romance, some of you may be dealing with ‘the emotionally unavailable’ kind. Yes, we’re talking about that certain someone who perpetually has one foot out of the door. Now is a good time to set your boundaries, clarify your intentions and get alignment with your deepest desires. Remember, you deserve to be with somebody who wants to grow alongside you.

Cancer

This chapter of your life is about steady love — the kind that’s safe, mutual, and deeply nourishing. Everything is definitely not perfect, but at least there’s emotional safety in this equation. You can show up as you are. No armour. No performance. What makes this connection different is that it isn’t about saving or fixing each other. You’ve both faced your shadows. Now you can come together from a place of wholeness and help each other rise in love.

Leo

You understand this on a deep and profound level, Leo: what isn’t working out is no longer in alignment with your highest good. However, there’s a part of you that’s resisting change and that part of you is unwilling to let go. As you sit down to introspect this week, ask yourself the following question: where am I forcing and where am I flowing? Trust that in moments of silence, you will recognise the truth. But it’s not just about cycles of dissolution this month. Pisces season will also offer you the opportunity to build new relationships and access hidden portals. Overheard at the cosmic conference: it’s time to move past perceived limitations and get in alignment with your highest vision.

Virgo

We want to let you in on a secret: the entire universe is conspiring to see you win. The entire universe is conspiring to propel you in the direction of your higher purpose! So, don’t hold yourself back in any way. Know that the wealth and prosperity you require to make big things happen will find their way to you in divine time. For now, focus on being consistent in your efforts as you place service at the front and centre of your offerings. When it comes to matters of the heart, you’re being encouraged to tap into your softer side. To share, from a place of honesty, how you truly feel about this connection as you hold space for the other to do just the same. Something tells us, you’re ready to blossom alongside each other, Virgo!

Libra

Right now, you’re experiencing a deep sense of surrender. The inner knowing that the universe is always and forever conspiring in your favour. The inner knowing that what you’re making space for is far more magnificent than what you’re leaving behind, Libra. Remember, you deserve both chemistry and consistency. You deserve to be with somebody who looks at you like you’re magic. When it comes to professional pursuits, it’s time to move beyond the mundane. It’s time to focus on the grand vision of your life and take intentional action. Overheard at the cosmic conference: “the how” is not for you to worry about, beautiful.

Scorpio

For you. Pisces season is all about honing your skills and mastering your craft. Whether you’re diving into a new project, learning something new, or levelling up in your career, know that “focus” will prove to be your power word. That said, you’re also being encouraged to keep your eyes open for new opportunities that may come to you in unexpected ways! If something feels like an answer to your prayers, remember to act upon it without delay. On the romantic front, things may feel awry this week. Let go of the need to prove yourself and listen to what others have to say. As for the triggers? They’re showing you how and where you need to show up for yourself.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius, you’re deep in the trenches of a spiritual awakening right now, and let me tell you — it’s not all rainbows and butterflies. Here’s something to remember as you move through the eclipse tunnel: you’re being cracked open so you can release what no longer aligns with who you’re becoming. That feeling of exhaustion? A sign your soul has been doing the heavy lifting. So, what do you do when everything feels awry? Learn to be steadfast in the midst of the storm. This soulscope is your reminder to anchor yourself in the present. To focus on your breath, to “move” through the discomfort and put pen to paper as a way to find your answers.

Capricorn

Layer by layer, the story is unravelling itself — and now you’re finally able to see who’s playing for your team and who isn’t. The best thing you can do right now is to avoid making hasty decisions. Knowing who to withhold information from is also an integral part of the process. Now let’s talk about love, Capricorn, for there’s something beautiful brewing on that front — both on the romantic and platonic front. Pisces season sees you surrounded by friends and lovers who make you feel seen, heard and celebrated in more ways than you can count. Coupled Saturnians, you’ve got a case of domestic bliss on the cards.

Aquarius

Aquarius, this is a moment to gently lower the drawbridge. To speak what you usually swallow. To allow someone to hold parts of you that you’ve always carried alone. ‘Course that doesn’t mean you have to dismantle your walls overnight. Know that even small acts of honesty count. When you choose openness over self-protection, you create space for love to meet you where you truly are. The good news: you’ll find that The Muse is close at hand this week. So, bring out the canvas and step into the portal of play. When in doubt, choose progression over perfection, beautiful.
