Venus and Mercury Retrogrades in Pisces – March 2025 15 March - 7 April 2025 (24 day period)
For twenty-four days in March of 2025, Venus and Mercury are simultaneously retrograde in Pisces. This marks a unique combination of our personal planets dealing with self-reflection on love, communication, and relationships. With Venus exalted and Mercury debilitated in Pisces, this time encourages us to revisit old ties, resolve unfinished matters, and redefine how we express affection and connection.
Venus, symbolizing desires and appreciation for life’s pleasures, reaches her highest dignity in Pisces, where love transcends the material and becomes spiritual. This placement brings themes of devotion, trust, and soulful connection.
In relationships, Venus guides our sense of value by prompting us to ask, “Was it worth it?” We measure actions against expectations, and feelings of disappointment or unappreciation may arise when efforts do not yield the desired return. Venus reflects both conscious judgments and subconscious reactions to self-worth and fairness.
During Venus retrograde, introspection and reevaluation become key themes. It is a time to rethink, revisit, and reimagine. Old loves may reappear, or unresolved relationship issues may surface. If you begin to question what you once cherished, you are experiencing the influence of Venus retrograde.
Mercury, known for its practical and neutral nature, struggles in Pisces. The abstract and unstructured qualities of this sign disrupt clarity and scatter thoughts. Despite this, the presence of exalted Venus provides relief by creating an opportunity to reassess how you value yourself and redefine your love language to align with your happiness.
Wherever Pisces is in your chart will show where you need to rewrite your love language.
