Here’s how the spring zodiac can supercharge your life for the next few months. (Spoiler alert: You’re going to love it!)
What the 2025 Spring Equinox Means for Your Zodiac Sign
Updated on Mar. 12, 2025
The scoop on the spring zodiac
Ready to come out of hiding and reboot your life? Well, ready or not, that’s what the spring equinox is about to help you do! A breath of fresh air after a cycle of laying low, the spring zodiac is astrologically invigorating every year, but in 2025, it will be supercharged. And while the equinox arrives at 5:01 a.m. EST on March 20, you’ll feel its effects in the days surrounding it as well as for the next few months, all the way through the summer solstice in June.
As an astrologer for more than two decades, I’ve been telling my clients to pay special attention to this year’s big spring event. That’s because imaginative Neptune is moving into Aries, the key March astrological sign, 10 days after the equinox—and it will give us all a personality glow-up, not to mention an energy boost. Beyond that, 2025 is a year of myriad changes in the outer planets, and with two of those planets (including Neptune) moving into fiery Aries, passion and excitement will be at the forefront for the foreseeable future.
Of course, that will look a little different for each zodiac sign … but how, exactly? I’m about to tell you exactly what you need to know to have the best spring ever.

Aries (March 21–April 19)
Bold and independent, Rams hate being told what to do. Not that we need to tell you that, Aries! As a fire sign, you also know that your persona is red-hot, just like your zodiac power color. Well, the spring equinox will be like adding a match to that fire, giving you permission to be even wilder and wilier than usual. With Neptune entering Aries, where it will transit until 2038, and Saturn moving into Aries for three years starting on May 24, the world is your oyster.
Let this year’s equinox serve as the kickoff to a thrilling new cycle in your life. By this time next year, you could be working for yourself, in a wonderful romance or feeling like you are finally in charge of your world—maybe all three.
What to do during the spring equinox:
- Spark creativity by journaling
- Go on a date
- Prioritize playtime with your kids
Taurus (April 20–May 20)
When the spring equinox arrives, the moon will be transiting your house of financial and legal partnerships, Taurus, making this an opportune time to increase your net worth by joining forces with a like-minded ally. Collaborations are a particularly good idea right now, and a trusted friend could even become a trusted business partner. Adding to your chances of success, March’s zodiac sign is creating sparks in your house of independent income. If you are interested in starting or building on your own business, this is the time.
The spring equinox also signifies a time of fertility and new beginnings. Plant something new in your beloved garden, and watch it blossom. The symbolism and beauty of new growth will inspire you in more ways than one. This is also a fruitful time for Tauruses looking to expand their families. So be careful if babies aren’t in your actual plan: The universe might have other ideas in mind!
What to do during the spring equinox:
- Look for potential creative collaborators
- Plant new flowers in your garden
- Jot down creative ideas
Gemini (May 21–June 20)
This is a particularly social time for you, Gemini, as the spring equinox puts you in the center of neighborhood and community projects. You are likely to gain new friends by investing in new hobbies. With your gift for wit and wordplay, you are already known as the funniest zodiac sign, but during this time, your innate smarts will be on display and in even higher demand. Use your talent for communication, and bang out a missive outlining your next project or plan. Your ideas are golden now, and everyone from your boss to new clients will be suddenly receptive.
Imaginative Neptune will also be entering Aries on March 30, landing right in your house of friendship. Expect to reconnect with friends who’ve been laying low all winter, and get ready fill up your social calendar.
What to do during the spring equinox:
- Create a vision board
- Be a social butterfly
- Brainstorm with buddies
Cancer (June 21–July 22)
As a Cancer (or a Cancer rising), you put relationships ahead of material matters. But as Aries takes hold of your career sector around the spring equinox, you may experience a temporary flip of priorities. The start of the season will be extra powerful for you in 2025, igniting the area of your chart connected to your public life. While it’s true that Cancers can sometimes be shy, you also appreciate being center stage … when you’re in the mood. So get in the mood! If you are thinking of going for a promotion, the stars are aligning for you, so that’s a good place to focus your energies.
Just remember that as a Cancer, you need time alone (in your shell, so to speak!). My biggest advice to you is to not overbook yourself or try to be in 20 places at once. Pace yourself for the highest chance of success so you don’t burn out—or freak out.
What to do during the spring equinox:
- Listen to financial podcasts
- Collaborate with business colleagues
- Write down (and manifest) your dreams and goals
Leo (July 23–Aug. 22)
With the moon in fellow fire sign Sagittarius during the spring equinox, you are likely to feel extra motivated to travel and explore. When you are in new surroundings, the super flirt in you comes out even more than usual. Your physical energy is also running high right now, along with a desire for romance, so get ready for that spark to ignite! Say yes to more dates (or date nights if you’re partnered!), and even better, ask about someone who excites you.
Aries, the dominant sign in March, is also super in sync with Leo, which is good news for Lions. Expect to feel more at home in your own skin, especially if you’ve spent the winter surrounded by homebodies. Fire signs love to go out! You are also apt to feel particularly happy when putting your massive amounts of energy into creative projects, whether that’s something like trying your hand at photography, singing or playing an instrument. Whatever you choose, you will feel inspired.
On the day-job front, you are a natural leader, and this spring, you’re likely to be called on to take charge of a unique work project. Your blend of playful childlike wonder with real-world delegating skills will make you irreplaceable.
What to do during the spring equinox:
- Pursue leadership positions
- Express your artistic side with a pet project
- Rekindle the passion in your relationships
Virgo (Aug. 23–Sept. 22)
For Virgos, the spring equinox brings a deeper need for family closeness and time with yourself. When the moon lands in your house of home and family, it may inspire you to redecorate or do some spring cleaning. Talk about a task that’s right up your alley! Your relationships are apt to go deeper than usual during this time too, as you are more attuned to your innermost feelings. Instead of hanging out in groups, you may want to plan intimate dates with romantic partners, friends or family.
It’s also a great time to meditate, write down dreams, set goals and journal. The universe has your back and may be sending you messages through interesting synchronicities and seeming coincidences. What might that look like? Well, just when you think of a friend or an old crush you haven’t seen in awhile, you get a text saying hello. Or you keep seeing the same numbers everywhere. It’s the universe’s way of saying you are on the right track. Pay attention!
What to do during the spring equinox:
- Clean your house and change up the decor
- Share dreams with loved ones
- Create memories with family
Libra (Sept. 23–Oct. 22)
You are known as one of the most intelligent zodiac signs, Libra, and you will thrive this spring when you spend time with your smartest and nerdiest buds. A smart idea? Forming a “mastermind” group where you can help one another brainstorm about goals and expand your intellectual horizons even more.
After using so much brainpower, you may feel primed for some romantic fun. And since Aries will be in your house of relationships, it will be feisty time for you—your flirt-o-meter will be turned up to 11! Just think about what lines you do or don’t want to cross with your pals. Overall, though, keep things light. It’s not the time to be serious, though acquaintances could develop into real friends.
No matter what you choose to do, spending time with your squad—a mixture of old and new friends—will make you the happiest. Added bonus: Going out in groups is good for networking and helps your career in unexpected ways too.
What to do during the spring equinox:
- Connect with friends
- Get your flirt on
- Network
Scorpio (Oct. 23–Nov. 21)
It’s time to flex your muscles—literally! You’ll have a strong desire to work out and up your wellness game well into April, so consider taking up a new sport. Since March’s zodiac sign, Aries, is ruled by aggressive and competitive Mars (Scorpio’s co-ruler!), you may want to try karate, capoiera or another high-octane martial art. And while we’re on the subject of health, Scorpios are known for their emotional resilience, but remember to prioritize your physical resilience too. See a doctor to make sure you are taking care of your joints and hip flexors, and do proper warmups before or after your workout.
Mentally, start to think of your body as a radio receiver that picks up on the frequencies around you and shows you the best ways to thrive. Ride this wave with self-awareness and self-assuredness, as you will be unusually “tapped in” this spring. People trust you, Scorpio, because you seem like you know what you’re doing. And it is not an act—you are genuinely authentic. Don’t be surprised if friends and family confide in you more this spring. You enjoy the role of confidante, and everyone knows that their secrets are safely “in the vault” when they open up to you.
What to do during the spring equinox:
- Start a new workout routine
- Prioritize your physical health
- Play the part of confidante
Sagittarius (Nov. 22–Dec. 21)
You are known as one of the happiest signs in the zodiac, Sag, and this is particularly true right now. The moon will be in your sign when the equinox hits on March 20, making you especially positive and optimistic. And Aries will be stirring up your creativity as it transits that sector of your chart, so if you want to sign up for an art or photography class, or play music just for the fun of it, go for it! This is a time when pleasure and play take top priority.
You could find yourself in a mentor position to children during this time too; your youthful and energetic style will draw them to you. When you’re not playing, start planning your next getaway. Time away from your everyday world is an excellent idea right now. It is good for your mental state—and the best way for you to nourish your soul this spring.
What to do during the spring equinox:
- Take an art class
- Spend time with children
- Plan a summer vacation
Capricorn (Dec. 22–Jan. 19)
You may have a reputation as a lone wolf, Capricorn, but this is a time for you to focus on collaborating with others, not flying solo. People know that you have smarts and depth, and that makes you someone who’s terrific to work and create with. In March, this should also lead to less stressful days and more income—fast.
Your family is particularly in sync with you now, and even on days when you feel tired, your loved ones will give you the love and kindness you need to bounce back. Take a breath, try practicing stress-relief techniques suited to your zodiac sign, and then reenter the work world with energy and verve.
What to do during the spring equinox:
- Book a spa day to de-stress
- Collaborate creatively and professionally
- Plan a family gathering
Aquarius (Jan. 20–Feb. 18)
You were born under the rarest zodiac sign, Aquarius, and you are known for your eccentricity and brilliance. This is the first spring equinox in our lifetimes that finds Pluto transiting your inventive sign, so this spring, you have carte blanche to think outside the box even more than usual! This could lead to you receiving an award or being sought after as a high-paid consultant.
Aries will also be passing through your house of communication, making you even more chatty than usual—and that’s where the fun starts! Little outings can lead to fantastic brainstorming sessions with friends, or you may even find a new crush, as your wit will draw people to you in droves.
But with so much intellectual energy stirring things up, don’t forget to give your body what it needs too. Try martial arts or a new way of exercising that makes working out enjoyable again.
What to do during the spring equinox:
- Stay open to new romance
- Lunch with new pals
- Change your fitness routines
Pisces (Feb. 19–March 20)
Brace yourself, Pisces: The spring equinox is about to pick up the pace at work. Plan to get some help now so you don’t feel overwhelmed when your workload goes from zero to 100. And rely on your innate politeness to ask those who are great at planning and organizing to teach you a few of their tricks. As Aries passes through your house of endings and new beginnings, you should also do some serious spring cleaning and declutter your home.
It’s not all about work, though. Your spring zodiac energy will help move past your tendency to procrastinate, leaving you more time to luxuriate in love and romance. Use the promise of time with your partner or crush as a reason to make your home more alluring. When your job responsibilities and the state of your home feel under control, you are likely to feel sexier and more open to the thrills of being in love. In short, get the organization out of the way, and then relax and enjoy yourself!
What to do during the spring equinox:
- Develop a daily routine
- Declutter common spaces and closets
- Plan a romantic staycation
