General Daily Insight for March 24, 2025
Our first ideas may not be the best ones we can come up with. The Moon is entering free-thinking Aquarius, encouraging an open-minded approach to the day. Contrastingly, the Sun will conjoin Mercury Retrograde at 3:48 pm EDT. While this can stir up many intriguing possibilities and refreshing ideas, we should sit with these a while before deciding to implement any of them. The Moon will go on to conjoin Pluto, so there will be an added air of intensity to our interactions.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
You’ve got plenty to say — maybe too much, actually! Watch out, as the risk of sticking your foot in your mouth is much more prominent than usual during the Sun’s collaboration with Mercury Retrograde. Consider everything before you say it, and if you think you can agree to a commitment or promise someone something, check and re-check before signing on the dotted line. Asking for extra time to clarify the particulars would be wiser than saying something incorrect because you didn’t wait.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
It’s not just you — today feels like it’s missing something obvious. The Sun and retrograde Mercury are coming together at the same degree in your 12th House of Escapism, which can make things appear foggier than usual. Avoid important conversations or hashing out major deals, as you will likely be getting a raw bargain. However, you can make progress by returning to old matters and giving them a second look, perhaps improving them and fixing old defects, or even clearing them out altogether.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Friends come and go, but they could currently come back around when you least expect it. You may encounter an old face or two as the Sun aligns with Mercury, with the cosmic chatterbox still moving retrograde through your companionable 11th house. Maybe you’ll receive an invitation to hang out with old friends or reconnect with other people from your memories. Unless you want to avoid them for a good reason, it can’t hurt to see what they are up to.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
It’s alright to take more time before putting your message on blast. Sure, you technically can just say whatever’s on your mind and send it out to the world en masse, but the Sun is conjoining retrograde Mercury in your public 10th house. There’s a good chance your message will miss the mark! If a new project lands in your lap, take time before accepting or signing up for any long-term commitments. The shiniest exterior is potentially concealing a rotten interior.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Pride cometh before the fall, Leo! Don’t let your appetite outsize your abilities. Even if you’re certain you can accomplish everything your heart desires as the Sun and Mercury come together at the same degree of your entrepreneurial 9th house, remember — Mercury is sliding retrograde. Missing vital puzzle pieces could happen much faster than you’d think. Plus, things that look stunning could end up being total duds. Refrain from getting wrapped up in anything too new until the dust has settled.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
This is no time for figuring out the details. You may be presented with urgent messages or find yourself trying to cut through yards of red tape as your ruler Mercury conjoins the Sun in your 8th House of Deep Sharing. Mercury Retrograde is making it almost impossible to find a productive way through such things. Mixed signals and hidden details can and will trip you up! If possible, postpone any major matters until the stars are in more supportive places.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Reading the fine print isn’t always enough. You can be your most efficient and responsible self and think that you’re reviewing every contingency, but it’s only too easy to miss something important as Mercury Retrograde enables the Sun in your 7th House of Contracts. No matter how clear you think something is, there’s a strong chance that you’ll emerge from the other side with the short end of the stick. Steer clear of hashing out any vital agreements until the planets bring better clarity.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Other people are usually competent, although it may not seem like it at the moment. A conjunction between Mercury and the Sun in your detail-oriented 6th house is setting you up for a busy day when delegating less important tasks would be ideal. With Mercury still reversing through the cosmos, mistakes lie in wait around every corner. People you trust may drop the ball, or wires could get crossed that make your work all but useless. Stick to the basics for the time being.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Just because you think you can, doesn’t mean you should. The Sun and Mercury are coming together in your 5th House of Chance, which is all about taking a gamble and betting on yourself to win the day. Still, be wary of Mercury Retrograde! Something that looks right up your alley could turn out to be very much out of your comfort zone, so don’t sign yourself up for more than you can handle. Play it safe and save the big moves for later.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
There may be a misunderstanding or two in your inbox. Wires can get crossed and emotions can get wounded as retrograde Mercury and the Sun conjoin in your authentic 4th house, so don’t be shocked if your domestic sphere feels like a bit of a soap opera. Try to keep the peace as best you can, because things said in anger or hurt won’t age very well. Watch out — you don’t want to add regrets to your list of things to deal with.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Misinformation is everywhere nowadays. You may notice it even more as Mercury Retrograde aligns with the Sun in your talkative 3rd house, which can create all kinds of confusion and misunderstandings. People may tell you one thing, only for something else to be true, or perhaps you’re the one saying something in good faith that turns out to be false. Other detours and delays are also more likely to happen, so give yourself plenty of time when going about your business.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
When something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Mercury’s spinning retrograde, and as it encourages the Sun in your 2nd House of Cash, fresh money-making opportunities seem to abound. Less fortunately, that retrograde motion could close those windows of chance while you’re halfway through them! Don’t expect to uncover any genuine get-rich-quick schemes while the planets are going against the grain like this. Focusing on the work already on your plate is a much more stable path to success.
