PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY March 24 2025 to March 30 2025 Monday March 24 On Hold When Mercury is retrograde, in theory, we're not supposed to make big decisions. Yet big questions always seem to come up! Even if we decide not to make the decision, we're still making the decision not to make the decision. Aargh! Actually, it's not that decision-making should be postponed; it's that the actions needed to implement our choices sometimes have to go on hold. Today, as Mercury links to the Sun, it's a great time to consider future plans. And if you need a second chance, here it comes. Tuesday March 25 Secrets come to Light Today, Mercury (planet of ideas) moves to form an auspicious angle with transformative Pluto. A word of warning: whenever these two planets align, secrets come to light. And since it's the International Day for the Right to the Truth concerning Human Rights Violations and the Dignity of Victims, let's see what unfolds. But it's also a chance for us to make a difference to the lives of the people in our corners of the world. If we stand up for what's right, we can encourage positive change. Wednesday March 26 Ancient Ptolemy The rules of astrology have been passed down through countless generations. One of the earliest works came from Ptolemy of Alexandria, whose studies took place around 150AD. Over time, tech advances have enabled us to identify much more than he could see with the naked eye, but the planets' movements continue to affect us in the same ways. With Venus poised to return to Pisces, it's an ideal time to remember those who've gone before, and be grateful for what they've given us. Thursday March 27 Cosy Blanket Time As retrograde Venus returns to imaginative Pisces, it's like the cosmos is wrapping us in a cosy, warm blanket. The planet of love and pleasure is 'exalted' in the sign of the fishes; which means it loves to love. Watch out though for a rose-coloured-spectacle tendency to romanticise the past; to benefit from this transit, we need to appreciate what's going on in the 'now'. When we take responsibility for our own emotional wellbeing, we encourage the love we deserve to make its way into our lives. Friday March 28 Solar Counterpart Two weeks ago, we had a Lunar Eclipse. Since these celestial events always happen in pairs, today brings its Solar counterpart. The first opens a portal. The second closes it. This is a chance to allow new energy into our lives. It's a time when old rules can be broken and new agreements reached. Bygone wisdoms can be accessed and used to create changes going forward. There's magic in the air this weekend. If we're open to new possibilities, we can find support that helps us realise dreams. Saturday March 29 Your April Monthly Horoscope April begins with The Titan, Neptune, planet of inspiration and creativity, settling into fiery Aries. It's the cosmos encouraging us to show initiative and take bold action; to be strong and decisive, and find the courage to turn dreams into reality. 'Goodbye' wishful thinking. And 'Hello' to taking steps to improve our lives. With Mercury (intellect) and Venus (love) turning direct, rather than dwelling on the dire and the difficult, we'll find it easier to focus on what's inspiring... and achievable.
