Flourish – Thriving in Alignment with Nature’s Cycles
 
As the wheel of the year turns, March invites us into a time of awakening and renewal. The Earth stirs from her winter slumber, and we, too, feel the gentle pull toward growth and expansion. This is the season of potential—a time to nourish the seeds of intention we’ve planted and embrace the energy of flourishing in all aspects of our lives. Just as the first buds break through the soil, we are reminded that even the smallest step forward holds the promise of transformation.
 
March is a month of transition, balancing the final whispers of winter with the promise of spring’s vibrancy. The Spring Equinox (Ostara) arrives on March 20th at 5:01 a.m., marking the moment of perfect equilibrium between light and dark. This sacred turning point encourages us to find our own inner balance—honoring both the stillness we’ve cultivated and the momentum we’re building. In astrology, March also brings dynamic shifts, with the Sun moving into fiery Aries on March 20, ushering in the astrological new year. Aries’ bold energy inspires action, courage, and new beginnings—perfect for stepping fully into our purpose.
 
With the return of longer days and nature’s awakening, it’s a beautiful time to refresh your sacred space, cleanse your energy, and align with the rhythms of renewal. Whether it’s through a new morning ritual, a nature walk to connect with the earth, or simply setting fresh intentions, allow yourself to flourish in harmony with the cycles of life. How will you embrace this season of growth?

March 2025: A Cosmic Turning Point
March 2025 is set to be a month of profound transformation, marked by potent celestial alignments that encourage deep reflection, release, and renewal. The month begins with Venus in retrograde (March 1–April 12), an invitation to reassess love, relationships, and our core values. This retrograde isn’t about rushing forward but rather pausing to refine our emotional connections and creative expressions. Old patterns in love and self-worth may surface, offering us the chance to realign with what truly resonates with our soul’s evolution.
 
One of the most significant astrological events of the month is the Total Lunar Eclipse on March 13–14, also known as a Blood Moon. Eclipses act as cosmic resets, accelerating change and bringing hidden truths to light. This one carries the energy of profound release, urging us to let go of what no longer serves us so that we can step fully into our purpose. As the Moon takes on its reddish hue in the sky, we are reminded that transformation often requires surrender—trusting that endings pave the way for new beginnings.
 
Adding to this energetic shift, Mercury retrogrades from March 15 to April 7, moving through the fiery sign of Aries and then dipping into the intuitive waters of Pisces. This retrograde may stir communication challenges or delays, but it also serves as a powerful moment to refine our thoughts, revisit past projects, and strengthen our inner clarity before taking bold action. With the Spring Equinox on March 20, the balance of light and dark invites us to harmonize within—embracing both the lessons of the past and the possibilities ahead. March isn’t just another month—it’s a cosmic gateway to a new chapter.

Card Reading for March 2025 by Sue Freeman
Navigating Change with Strategy, Prosperity, Alchemy & Life
March brings powerful cosmic shifts—Venus retrograde, a total lunar eclipse, Mercury retrograde, and the Spring Equinox—reminding us that transformation is inevitable, but how we move through it is up to us. This month, strategy is key. Like the clever fox, we are called to move with awareness, trust our instincts, and adapt to changing circumstances rather than resist them. With so much shifting in the cosmos, careful planning, discernment, and intuitive navigation will help us make the most of these energies rather than feeling overwhelmed by them. Pay attention to where you place your focus, as every decision shapes the path ahead.
 
Prosperity follows when we align with the flow of transformation rather than fight against it. The energy of abundance is not just about material wealth—it is about embracing our inner radiance, standing confidently in our truth, and knowing that we are worthy of the opportunities presenting themselves. The Peacock teaches us to own our brilliance, release self-doubt, and step forward boldly. As we shed old layers during the eclipse, we make space for new blessings to arrive. This is alchemy in motion—the magic of transformation, where we transmute past lessons into wisdom, turn obstacles into stepping stones, and co-create our future with the universe.
 
Through it all, breath is our anchor. In moments of uncertainty, returning to the breath reconnects us with life itself, the present moment, and the guidance within. Just as nature moves through cycles of death and rebirth, we, too, are experiencing an energetic renewal this month. The invitation is to breathe deeply, trust the unfolding process, and embrace the magic of new beginnings. March is not just about change—it is about mastering the art of transformation and flourishing through it. With intention, trust, and alignment, we can move through this potent time with grace and purpose.

Flower of the Month: Magnolia

Magnolia: Blooming Through Life’s Storms
 
In times of chaos and upheaval, the magnolia stands as a profound symbol of resilience, endurance, and divine grace. With roots that stretch deep into the earth and blossoms that unfold with unwavering beauty, the magnolia reminds us that even amid turmoil, strength and serenity can coexist. Its thick, waxy petals suggest a quiet fortitude, a testament to the soul’s ability to withstand life’s tempests while still blooming with purpose. The magnolia’s message is one of balance—remaining grounded while reaching for the heavens, embodying the wisdom that true stability comes from within.
 
Spiritually, the magnolia has long been associated with purity, dignity, and perseverance. In times of upheaval, its essence calls us to reconnect with our inner truth, to hold fast to what is sacred and unshakable within us. Across various cultures, the magnolia represents the unfolding of enlightenment, much like its slow-blooming flowers that require patience and time to reveal their full splendor. This mirrors our own spiritual journeys—growth does not happen overnight, and even in the midst of disorder, there is an unseen divine rhythm guiding us forward.
 
The magnolia’s deep connection to ancient wisdom also serves as a reminder that the storms of today are not the end of the story. Just as this tree has flourished for millennia, surviving shifting climates and countless changes, we too are capable of withstanding life’s uncertainties. Its presence reassures us that peace can be found in the stillness of our hearts, even when the world around us feels unstable. When we embrace the energy of the magnolia, we invite patience, trust, and a quiet confidence that we are being held and supported by something greater than ourselves.
 
Let the magnolia’s spirit be a guiding light in challenging times. Its silent yet powerful presence teaches us that we can rise above chaos with grace, that beauty is never lost even in the darkest seasons, and that by standing firm in our truth, we too can bloom in the midst of adversity.

Essential Oil of the Month: Cypress – Embracing Transformation & Flow
 
As we step into the dynamic energies of March 2025, Cypress essential oil serves as a powerful ally for navigating transitions, releasing the old, and embracing the flow of change. With Venus retrograde, a transformative lunar eclipse, and Mercury preparing to go retrograde, this month invites deep reflection, energetic shifts, and personal realignment. Cypress, known for its grounding yet uplifting qualities, helps us move through these shifts with grace and resilience.
Spiritually, Cypress is the oil of flow and transition—it supports us in letting go of attachments, releasing emotional blockages, and trusting the unfolding of our journey. This is especially significant as the Total Lunar Eclipse on March 13–14 urges us to release what no longer serves our highest path. Cypress assists in this process by promoting emotional stability, easing resistance to change, and encouraging a deeper connection to divine timing.
 
Aligned with the Spring Equinox (March 20), Cypress also carries the energy of renewal and rebirth, helping us emerge from winter’s introspection into a season of growth. Its strong, woody essence strengthens our spiritual foundation, encourages resilience, and enhances our connection to the wisdom of the natural cycles. Whether diffused during meditation, applied to the pulse points, or used in an anointing ritual, Cypress invites us to breathe deeply, surrender to the flow, and step into the month with trust and inner strength.
 
Ways to Work with Cypress This Month:
  • Anointing Ritual for Release & Renewal – Apply Cypress oil to your heart and third eye before journaling on what you're ready to release with the eclipse.
  • Spring Equinox Meditation – Diffuse Cypress while meditating on new beginnings and balance.
  • Energetic Cord-Clearing – Add a few drops to a salt bath to release stagnant energy and emotional ties.
As the winds of change move through March, let Cypress be your grounding force, reminding you that every ending is simply a doorway to new growth.
