A powerful lunar eclipse, Mercury retrograde, and Venus retrograde each have a strong influence on the weekly love horoscope for March 10 – 16, 2025. Eclipses often bring major significant events and revelations that can alter our lives and relationships. Misunderstandings and challenges in relationships arise this week, but if the relationship is stable, most things can be resolved.
We must guard against being overly critical of partners or ourselves this week. During Mercury retrograde, communication tends to become more confusing, so it is important to stay grounded, be open to change, and have clear communication. In many respects, this eclipse can be considered a wake-up call for existing problems and issues. This is a period of re-assessing and re-evaluating where we are going. This is not the time to start new relationships, get married or engaged, or buy high-ticket items.

Your focus is totally on relationships this week, especially if you have a partner or love interest. If you don’t have a love interest, your thoughts will probably turn to previous relationships as you question the dynamics of what happened there.
It hasn’t been an easy year for Pisces overall. You are questioning your interactions with others and perhaps establishing healthier boundaries and approaches. You may feel sad or as though you aren’t getting what you need.
Before jumping to conclusions, however, sit with these thoughts for a few days because the powerful eclipse may be making you somewhat negative. Be careful not to look at things from the worst point of view.
With all of the powerful energy this week making us more sensitive than usual, it’s important not to make any rash or impulsive decisions.
