Solar Eclipse in Aries
The Aries Solar Eclipse on March 29, 2025, is particularly significant as it marks the final eclipse on the Aries/Libra axis.
Aries is a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars. It is associated with beginnings, courage, impulsiveness, and warlike determination. In traditional astrology, Aries is considered diurnal, masculine, and hot/dry in temperament. The Sun is exalted in Aries, amplifying leadership, self-assertion, and raw energy themes. In the northern hemisphere, Aries is the sign of the Spring Equinox, symbolising a fresh start, rapid movement, and independence – Aries doesn’t like stagnation.
From a traditional perspective, an eclipse is an omen of disruption. Solar eclipses are associated with significant shifts, endings, and new beginnings—but with an element of obscuration, as something essential is temporarily “blocked out.” Historically, they were often seen as omens affecting kings, leaders, and nations since the Sun represents rulers, power, and divine order.
This eclipse, occurring in Aries, amplifies conflicts, assertiveness, and themes of self-reliance. The last eclipse in Aries/Libra signals a culmination of issues related to independence vs. relationships, war vs. peace, and self-interest vs. compromise.
The first decan of Aries (0°–10°) is ruled by Mars, reinforcing the pure, raw energy of Aries itself. In traditional astrology, this decan represents warriors, pioneers, and leaders—it’s about acting on instinct, taking risks, and initiating something without hesitation. 8° Aries is near the fixed star Algenib, associated with boldness and recklessness. This degree could signify impulsive decisions, battles for power, and the courage to break through barriers.
Mars rules this eclipse, but its placement in Cancer, the sign of its fall, is challenging. Mars in Cancer is not its usual assertive self; it tends to act defensively, emotionally, and protectively. This can suggest that Aries’s bold, initiating energy is somewhat tempered by emotional concerns, family matters, or the need for security. In mundane astrology, Mars in Cancer can relate to military conflicts, protection of one’s homeland, or emotionally driven decisions. It may also bring a sense of passive-aggressiveness, where action is not direct but motivated by deep emotional undercurrents.
Mercury is still retrograde in Aries, suggesting miscommunication, impulsive speech, and revisiting past ideas or conflicts. As it moves toward Pisces, the energy shifts from direct, blunt thinking to intuitive, foggy, and possibly deceptive communication. Decision-making may feel unclear or emotionally charged, and information may be delayed or strategies need to be rethought.
Neptune’s ingress into Aries (shortly after the eclipse) suggests a significant shift in our ideals, dreams, and illusions. It moves from a passive, spiritual Piscean energy to a more assertive, idealistic, and possibly militant expression.
A sextile to Pluto in Aquarius suggests that while this eclipse is disruptive, it also presents an opportunity for profound transformation—particularly in technology, power structures, and collective ideologies. Pluto in Aquarius favours revolutionary ideas, shifts in governance, and structural overhauls.

This eclipse happens in your first house—your identity, path, and personal reinvention. Think back to what’s been shifting in your sense of self since April 2023.
