The worst day: what problems and illnesses to expect from the new moon in March
This Saturday, March 29, the first new moon of spring will arrive. This time, the phenomenon will be accompanied by a number of cosmic events that will make their own adjustments: a partial solar eclipse also in the sign of Aries, Mercury retrograde and Venus. For more information about the new moon on March 29, as well as the forecast for this day for each zodiac sign, see the Izvestia article.
New Moon in March 2025: when will it start
Each month, the Moon goes through several phases, which are visually different for an observer from Earth. This is due to the fact that the visible side of the satellite is illuminated differently by the Sun. The lunar cycle lasts approximately 29.5 days, which is commonly referred to as the synodic month, or lunation. During this time, eight phases of the satellite can be observed from the Ground, four of which are basic, and the rest are additional.
The new Moon represents the first and one of the main phases of the Earth's satellite (besides it, the waxing Moon, the full moon and the waning Moon also stand out). At this time, it is located between our planet and the Sun on almost the same line. Since the side of the Moon facing the Earth is in shadow, the satellite becomes almost invisible, and it can only be noticed with the help of specialized equipment.
This time, the new moon will take place in the sign of Aries and will fall at 14:00 Moscow time. After that, the next phase of the satellite will begin, the waxing Moon, when the night star will begin to appear in the sky again and take the form of a sickle.
Solar eclipse and new moon in March 2025 on the same day
March 2025 is full of astronomical events. On the 29th, in addition to the new moon, it will also be possible to observe a partial solar eclipse (it will fall on the period from 11:51 Moscow time to 15:44 Moscow time. In Russia, it will be possible to see it on the Kola Peninsula, in the northwest of the Murmansk Region and the Russian station Barentsburg. In Moscow, St. Petersburg and the cities of Western Siberia, it will be possible to see only its individual phases). It is important to note that this phenomenon is possible only during the new moon, when the Earth's natural satellite is located on the ecliptic between the planet and the star closest to us. A partial or partial solar eclipse is the most common type of all. In this case, the Moon creates a penumbra, or penumbra.
Another phenomenon that began on March 15 and will last until April 7 is Mercury retrograde. These days, one can observe the illusion of a change in the direction of the planet's movement. This is due to the fact that the speed of movement of each space object is different, so when the planets "catch up" with each other, it seems that their direction is changing. This phenomenon is not uncommon and occurs three to four times a year.
In addition to Mercury, it is now also possible to observe the retrograde motion of Venus. This phenomenon began on March 2 and will end on April 19. It is important to note that the retrograde motion of this planet occurs much less frequently than that of Mercury, every 18-19 months.
New Moon on March 29, 2025: astrologers' forecast
In astrology, the new moon is one of the most unfavorable periods of the entire lunar cycle. It is believed that at this time, vitality decreases. In addition, presumably, it is during this period that there is a risk of emotional instability, tension or anxiety. There is also a decrease in energy, which can make a person feel sluggish or sluggish. People may also notice indifference, inattention, and memory lapses.
It is important to remember that the feeling of fear that you are missing something important may increase during the new moon, as well as a desire for drastic changes. The new moon carries the energy of everything new, which may cause problems, for example, with the completion of an important project. Although the phenomenon symbolizes the beginning, it is not recommended to move or conduct important negotiations at this time.
At the same time, it is necessary to make plans for the future, prescribe them and follow them. You can clean up and throw away old and unnecessary things — this will help to bring new things into life. The Russian proverb "what you sow, you reap" perfectly describes the meaning of the new moon: you should not think about the bad, be sad, give up, otherwise it will all happen again in the future. Because of all this, astrologers advise against overloading the body on March 29.
The upcoming new moon is of great importance, because it is with Aries, in which the phenomenon will take place, that the zodiac circle begins, so March 29 will mark the start of the new astrological year. It is important to note that this day will not only be the starting point of a new lunar cycle, but also the day that will set the tone not only for the next new moon in April, but also for whole months.
Aries symbolizes the beginning, energy, determination. It is controlled by the planet Mars, which makes this sign purposeful and energetic. Aries are proactive, possess leadership qualities, are stubborn and persistent, but they can also be impulsive. Therefore, the new moon in this sign also symbolizes the beginning of something new, the desire to fight to achieve their goals and leadership.
A solar eclipse in the sign of Aries can ignite an inner fire and push a person to take confident and decisive steps towards change.
Mercury retrograde, which began on March 15th, will also affect astrological events on the 29th. In particular, it will add complexity and enhance the effects of an eclipse and a new moon. There may be a desire to rethink your previous decisions, take up previously unfinished business, or adjust existing plans. In addition, Mercury retrograde will provide a chance to conduct an in-depth analysis and find errors. This will help you rethink your path and goals, which is especially important because of the beginning of a new phase that will open on the new moon with a private solar eclipse in Aries.
Venus is the planet of love, sensuality and harmony. Because of this, exes can return during her retrograde period, couples can break up, and single people can dramatically and suddenly change their lives. At the same time, the financial side of life may also be at risk — large purchases or serious financial transactions should be postponed for another time.
At the same time, retrograde Venus carries with it a favorable time for personal growth, revision of values and, importantly, correction of mistakes. In general, you need to devote time to something that is related to the beautiful: art, going to a museum or theater. It is worth remembering about the romantic component of the planet — you can go on a trip with your significant other. Playing sports and looking good are also suitable for the new moon, when Venus will have a retrograde motion.
As tarologist Svetlana Stroganova added to Izvestia, the main trend of the new moon is trust, but check. The expert advises to be open to everything new, but be aware of the possible risks.
The partial solar eclipse will also complete the eclipse corridor that began earlier this month with a lunar eclipse in Virgo. The phenomenon took place on March 14 and revealed weaknesses, as well as the need for purification. March 29th will be a powerful impetus for moving forward, energy and endeavors. At this time, the old can collapse, thereby opening the way for everything new.
