Horoscope For Today: Monday, March 10, 2025

The day breaks with the moon in the early degrees of Leo, which typically reflects a more courageous and proud collective—and there will be a lot of both bravery and ego, don’t get me wrong. But things turn a dramatic turn at 12:28 AM EST, when the moon directly opposes Pluto at 3°.

Of course, any interaction between the sensitive moon and the destructive Pluto is bound to reflect some intense catastrophes here on Earth. It may be considered a dwarf planet, but it is certainly powerful enough to make up for its size.

Now that Pluto is in Aquarius, for the foreseeable future every time it opposes the charismatic moon in Leo, it will discard a healthy dose of humility, reminding us that we are not the center of our own universes but part of communities which require our allegiance and obligation.

Meanwhile, the moon makes several fiery trines early in the day, first to Mercury at 7° Aries at 9:55 AM, and then to Venus at 9° Aries at 12:20.

While Venus is still retrograde in the ambitious sign of the ram, the collective relationship to beauty, luxury, and romance continues to express itself through a distorted lens.

Although you’ll probably be feeling the impulse to do something dramatic to your appearance, such as getting a new tattoo or buying a box of hair dye from the drugstore, you should probably hold off on making any major changes, especially those that are irreversible.

How can you expect today’s transits to manifest for you on a personal level? Read the following forecast according to your rising sign.

Aries

Today begins with the moon in your fifth house making a harsh opposition to Pluto in your eleventh, reflecting challenges between your rich inner creative world and the expectations of the world around you. If you have children, they are likely to demand more of your attention today, and the unsolicited advice of your broader social network might lead you into a spiral of mom guilt. However, you have significant power today to stand up for yourself and exert your independence if you feel you are being overwhelmed by too many outside opinions and narratives. This morning, when the moon trines Mercury in your first house, you’ll be ready to stand your fiery ground; later, the moon’s trine to Venus in your first house will add charisma and conviction to your self-expression. However, while Venus remains retrograde, try to avoid making any impulsive choices related to your physical body and appearance.

Taurus

Today kicks off with the moon in your fourth house opposing Pluto in your tenth, indicating the harsh work-life conflicts you’re bound to be experiencing. Whatever isn’t working in your home is going to be reflected in your professional world, and some of you might be facing scandals that are impacting your entire family. Your reputation may seem permanently damaged right now, but Pluto is not a cartoonish devil with the power to completely destroy anything. It will only help you collapse and rebuild whatever structures are no longer working. Your family alliances, if they are trustworthy, should be more important to you than ever right now. This morning, when the moon trines Mercury in your twelfth house, you may feel especially overwhelmed and in need of a good therapy session. Later, the moon’s trine to Venus in your twelfth house might reflect an impulsive act of self-destruction. Since Venus is currently retrograde, this is a particularly bad idea. Avoid escapism and try to stay grounded in the world of logic and order, as it is the best approach to moving strategically out of a challenging situation.

Gemini

This morning the moon in your third house faces off in a Pluto opposition in your ninth, reflecting the challenges to your existing belief systems that have been undergoing a major overhaul lately. While your local community and extended family may wish you to continue believing, worshipping, and behaving in accordance with their traditions, you’re determined to carve out your own path. Many of you are changing course academically, risking it all for a career change that your family disapproves of, and undergoing faith deconstructions—whatever the case may be, you’re feeling torn by your emotional attachments to your community and your convictions. There is help coming from your new social network, though: this morning, the moon trines Mercury in your eleventh house, giving you the leverage to speak your mind to your new group of friends, and later on, the moon’s trine to Venus in your eleventh enables you to find financial support and potentially romantic interest within that circle. Just be aware that Venus is still retrograde, so anything that looks too good to be true right now just might be. Furthermore, try to avoid leaving one cult for another; you’re vulnerable to lovebombing right now, and there is always interest to pay for apparently free gifts.

Cancer

Today the moon completes its transit through your second house, but not before facing off against Pluto in your eighth, challenging you to evaluate your relationship to your finances, even as you merge them with others. You may have to finally pay off some significant debts you’ve been avoiding, or you might start sharing resources with a live-in partner. Your curiosity about the shadow side of life is being sparked: sexual experimentation, unconventional relationships, the occult, and deep healing of trauma are all things you might suddenly find yourself craving, even if they stand in direct opposition to the values you were taught to hold. Furthermore, you might undergo this transformation in public. You are going to be placed in positions of authority whether you’re comfortable with the spotlight or not. This morning, the moon’s trine with Mercury in your tenth house elevates your power of communication and enables you to reach a wide audience, while the trine with Venus in your tenth draws influential and affluent women into your sphere. However, while Venus is retrograde, it’s a wise idea to approach every new relationship, business or romantic, with a fair amount of caution, as you are not certain of anyone’s true intentions.

Leo

Today kicks off with the moon in your first house in opposition with Pluto in your seventh, abruptly taking you out of your relational comfort zone and removing toxic partners from your midst. If you are struggling in a business relationship or trying to figure out how to leave a toxic romantic partnership, the cosmos might just present an exit strategy for you today. Offer yourself some gentle self-care right now, focusing less attention on what others need and deliberately choosing to love yourself first. You are likely feeling over-extended as it is. You may find comfort in your academic, religious, or philosophical pursuits as you detach from the drama, and this morning, when the moon makes a trine with Mercury in your ninth house, you have the opportunity to speak words of inspiration and affirmation. Later, the moon’s trine to Venus, also in your ninth, attracts romance and financial abundance from within your community. Just be wary of anyone who promises anything that seems too good to be true, such as a no-strings-attached scholarship or an offer to fly you to Italy for the weekend. Venus is still retrograde, giving us rose-colored glasses.

Virgo

Today begins with the moon in your twelfth house facing off against a Pluto opposition in your sixth, challenging you to reflect on the ways your mental health has been impacting your physical body. There are likely symptoms of physical illness manifesting due to a lack of alignment between the mind and the body, and today is a good day to do a low-impact workout or speak to your nutritionist about a new diet plan. Take your vitamins and sip your green juice; it’s an important time to pay attention to your body’s simplest needs. This morning, the moon’s trine to Mercury in your eighth house reflects your deep desire to get to the root of any unspoken problems that have taken root in your environment. The moon’s later trine to Venus in your eighth enables you to connect on a deeper level with yourself or with a partner, instigating intimacy on both the physical and spiritual levels. However, while Venus is still retrograde, it’s unwise to slide back into your ex’s DMs in a moment of weakness; just because the opportunity is there doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the healthiest one to take.

Libra

The day begins with the moon in your eleventh house in opposition to Pluto in your fifth, reflecting some discomfort between your creative and romantic side and your larger social circle. Maybe your friends don’t approve of a new casual fling, or maybe you’ve lost a lot of friends since you intermingled you and your partner’s social lives. If you’re a new parent who is stressed and busy, you’re probably feeling a bit of FOMO as you watch your childfree friends post to their Instagram stories straight from cocktail hour. Fortunately, the astro weather is ideal for breakthroughs in communication with your partner, since this morning the moon will trine Mercury in your seventh house. Later, it will also trine Venus in your seventh, although the planet of love is currently retrograde, so you might be feeling less aligned with your partner sexually and romantically. Hang in there and appreciate what you can do for each other in the meantime.

Scorpio

Today starts with the moon in your tenth house opposing Pluto in your fourth, putting your personal life at considerable odds with your professional reputation as both seem to demand equal amounts of your attention. You may be dealing with radical changes to your home and family situation, or you might be preparing to relocate due to traumatic memories in your current living space. Whatever the case may be, your emotional focus is on your public presentation today, and you will feel obligated to wipe away your tears and put on a brave face. This morning, the moon’s trine to Mercury in your sixth house lends you the communication skills necessary to appease your most disgruntled coworkers; soon after, the moon trines Venus in your sixth, giving you a certain charm that could win over your office crush. Remember, though, that while Venus is retrograde, any new relationship should be handled with the utmost care.

Sagittarius

The day starts with the moon in your ninth house opposing Pluto in your third, provoking difficult conversations in the day-to-day as you attempt to navigate changing familial structures and your relationship to your local community. Your academic and theoretical knowledge may be put to the test as you are forced to practically apply what you have learned to real-world situations. If you have spent too much time in your ivory tower, you will understand the harsh truth of how quickly the personal can become political. However, you possess an optimistic attitude towards learning and growing that will serve you well this morning, when the moon trines Mercury in your fifth house, encouraging friendly and warm dialogue with creative collaborators, romantic partners, and your children (if you have them). Soon after, the moon will form a trine with Venus, also in your fifth house, giving you a boost of sexual confidence and interest in putting yourself out there. However, with Venus still retrograde, it’s unlikely that any truly casual relationship can begin. Under this astro weather you’re more likely to get back with an ex or catch feelings for a FWB. If you’re down for the drama, go for it. Otherwise, tread carefully.

Capricorn

As the moon finishes up its transit through your eighth house, it makes a harsh opposition to Pluto in your second, reflecting a stark imbalance between your private inner world and your external resources. If you’ve recently gotten married or begun cohabitating with a partner, you may be struggling to learn the new rules related to shared finances, especially if you’ve spent much of your life building your own empire. If you’re undergoing an ego death, consider it a blessing in disguise; you will only understand yourself better by the end. Your domestic sphere is a safe space to engage in challenging conversations as the moon trines Mercury in your fourth house this morning; later on, it also trines Venus in your fourth, creating a romantic atmosphere that may well encourage stronger bonds and connections. However, while Venus is still retrograde, it’s wise to remember that relationships can and will be tested. If things get heated, or there are misunderstandings, take some time apart and seek counsel from your friends or family.

Aquarius

Today the day begins with the moon in your seventh house forming an opposition with Pluto in your first, challenging you to struggle through relational problems even as your own sense of identity is radically transformed. You’re likely undergoing a sort of ego death, perhaps even facing scandals and blows to your reputation, but this is the time period to rely on your closest friends and allies. You will likely know who your enemies are by this point, so you can trust that those who are left in your inner circle are in it for the long haul. This morning, when the moon trines Mercury in your third house, you are going to feel compelled to speak up in classic Aquarius fashion about what you care about, and your words are likely to be well-received in your local community or within your extended family. Later on, when the moon trines Venus in your third house, expect a surprising gift from the universe or a romantic moment that catches you off-guard. But with Venus still retrograde, it might come with strings attached.

Pisces

Today the moon in your sixth house opposes Pluto in your twelfth, emphasizing the importance of your mental and physical health. If you’ve been prioritizing one over the other, it’s likely to become very evident now; when we neglect our bodies and live too much in our heads, we run the serious risk of becoming unhealthily disassociated. Check in with yourself and make sure you’re taking care of your most basic needs before anything else. This morning, the moon makes a trine to Mercury in your second house, giving you a boost of confidence when it comes to discussing money, so if you’ve been putting off making that appointment with your financial advisor, it’s a good day to start. When the moon trines Venus in your second, you could be pleasantly surprised by what news you receive regarding your finances. But remember, while the planet of love and abundance is still retrograde, all that glitters is not necessarily gold. Treat yourself, but be reasonable about it.
