PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY March 17 2025 to March 23 2025 Monday March 17 Happy St Patrick's Day Happy St Patrick's Day! Today, the world turns a bit greener in celebration of the patron Saint of Ireland, who (amongst other things) popularised the shamrock, which represents luck. He used the three leaves of the clover to represent faith, hope and love. It's the elusive 4th leaf that brings luck into the equation. As retrograde Mercury links with sparky Uranus, whether (or not) we're in party mode, the past holds the key to opening doors of potential that lead to progress that deserves celebrating. Tuesday March 18 Days as long as Nights The Equinox is only a couple of days away. So, how is this one different to the Equinox that takes place every September? Obviously, there are seasonal differences. But the main distinction is that in March, the days are just as long as the nights... whereas in September, the nights are just as long as the days! Joking aside, these celestial events always coincide with the Sun moving into a new Zodiac sign. Get ready for a new astrological cycle. It promises change... let's make it positive. Wednesday March 19 Sun and Neptune in Pisces It's a big day in the astrological calendar. The Sun and Neptune are forming a conjunction - the final Pisces pairing of these two planets in our lifetime. It's a cosmic invitation to dream and seek inspirational ways forward. We're reaching the end of Pisces season; our source of light and heat is heading towards dynamic Aries. It means we'll soon have the energy and enthusiasm to turn ideas into workable plans. Hurts and harms (whether personal or in the wider world) can be helped and mended. Thursday March 20 Equinox Energy Welcome to a brand-new astrological year! The Equinox is an auspicious moment celebrated across the world. Whether your day ahead looks 'normal', or you're in Mexico to see the shadow serpent appear on the Mayan temple of Chichen Itza, this is a cosmological coming of age. As the Sun enters Aries, prepare to be re-energised. With Mercury and Venus both retrograde in the sign of the ram, it's by re-examining past passions that we'll find inspiring ways to make life-changing choices. Friday March 21 New Habits Remember those resolutions you made back in January? If you haven't managed to successfully implement a new habit (or lose an old one), yesterday's Equinox offered another chance. And it's not too late to tap into its energy. Today's link between Venus (love) and Pluto (transformation) helps us take our minds off anxious thoughts and focus on what makes us happy. By choosing to celebrate what brings joy this weekend, we can let go of the negative, and choose brighter options that inspire us. Saturday March 22 Your Weekly Horoscope It's time for some fun! The week kicks off with the Sun forming a conjunction to Venus (love and pleasure); it's the cosmos encouraging us to focus on aspects of our lives that bring joy. Giving ourselves a break from the news isn't irresponsible; by reminding ourselves of what we enjoy, we find better perspective. With improved moods, we can use our energy positively. Later this week, when Venus retrogrades into Pisces, we can use that energy and, with heightened intuition, build relationships of support.
