15 Best Mother-Daughter Trips To Book Together In 2025

Mother-Daughter TripsMother-Daughter Trips

My mom and I live on opposite coasts, but we've made it a tradition to take a mother-daughter trip almost every year — exploring places like Maine, Spain, Paris, Charleston, and soon Mackinac Island, MI. Now that my daughter has turned 10, it feels like the perfect time to carry on this tradition with her. Over the MLK three-day weekend, we took our first trip together without other family to Tucson, AZ — inspired by her love for the Sonoran Desert (thanks Wild Kratts 😉). What I thought would be a fun getaway turned into so much more. When I got home, I told my partner that I felt like I actually got to know Matilda better without the distraction of cooking meals, school drop-offs, sporting events, and playdates. It was such a special bonding experience, and I loved every minute of it.

Looking to plan a mother-daughter trip of your own? Here are all the destinations you should definitely hit with your built-in bestie!

1. Tucson, AZ

You want to find a trip that suits you both and allows for time to connect. I was seeking a spa experience while Matilda wanted to get her desert fix. Tucson is surrounded by stunning desert scenery, including the iconic Saguaro cacti that are native to the area. I landed on the Ritz Carlton Dove Mountain for two reasons: it has an incredible spa with fireplace jacuzzi, adults-only pool, and sauna/steam room, and it's right in the heart of the Sonoran Desert with a kids' camp! We literally hiked into the desert outside our hotel room. Prices were affordable too for a Sunday to Tuesday stay in winter (when the weather is perfect!). Matilda loved her ranger camp with Brian and Breanna who showed her the live desert animals like scorpions and tarantulas in their station and took her geocaching into the desert while I got a facial. The 235-foot water slide was a big win for both of us. I would totally take my mom here too — there's an infinity pool, jacuzzi, a delicious Latin grill, and cabanas in the adults area too. We watched the sunset at the amazing Cayton's Restaurant, where we saw a pack of javalinas just outside. (The lobster risotto was A+). The buffet at Core Kitchen was also so fresh and delicious. The churro donuts had us swooning. A Native American flutist performed in the mountain while we dined at Ignite to top off the trip. Highly recommend this escape for moms and daughters of all ages! You can also explore the Saguaro National Park, visit the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, and take a tour of the stunning Mission San Xavier del Bac!

2. Charleston, S.C.

Charleston is one of the most charming cities and it was the perfect trip for my sisters and I to take our mom for her June birthday. I booked a home exchange about 20 minutes from downtown in a lovely quiet neighborhood. On the first day, we took a horse carriage tour to get a lay of the land. I admired all the pretty verandas, colorful houses, and lush flower boxes. You can find delicious dining options like French-inspired Felix (loved), Husk (known for its Southern fare), or great-for-brunch Poogan's Porch. Indulge in downtown shopping (there's a whole day's worth here) and relax with a spa treatment at The Charleston Place, also a great place to stay right in the heart of town. Stroll along the charming streets filled with everything from Colonial to Georgian to Classic and Gothic Revival homes, all photo-worthy and jaw-dropping. My mom and I took early morning walks along the waterfront. You can take a sunset cruise with a wine toast too. Don't miss the chance to visit nearby beaches too, like Sullivan's Island, where celebs likeReese Witherspoon and Bill Murray reportedly own homes. I walked into the warm waters and it was glorious.

3. Sonoma, CA

My mom loves to visit me in my adult hometown (it's definitely her demographic!). Sonoma is a stunning small town with a more laid back vibe than Napa. The Lodge at Sonoma is one of my favorite spa experiences with private warm pool and sauna area, plus cozy private reading areas before you get your treatment. MacArthur Hotel is another favorite with their outdoor restaurant Layla, that is stunning in design and perfect for a leisurely lunch. The Fairmont Mission Inn & Spa is another must on my visitor list — cozy outdoor firepits are perfect for grabbing a bite to eat and a glass of wine (Friday nights they have live music and food trucks in the summer). Take a bike ride along the Sonoma bike path, which cuts straight to the town square for shopping and eating. Sunflower Caffe has a darling garden in the back and Valley Bar and Bottle offers inventive California cuisine that's sourced locally and so delicious in an outdoor setting. My mom loves to bike to Bartholomew Estate Winery, where you can do a short mom-friendly hike into the oak grove of the winery or grab a bottle and a picnic table in the park and next door at California's first winery, Buena Vista Winery, built in 1857.

Eugene Dorosh

4. Paris, France

I spent two summers in Paris before I booked a trip with my mom for an international mom-daughter getaway. I booked the cute and affordable Hotel des Escrivains and we spent our days museum hopping, shopping in Le Marais, strolling the Montmartre hills, and taking the quintessential mom-daughter photo at the Eiffel Tower. We dined at Ladurée on the Champs-Élysées and picnicked at the Jardin des Tuileries. La Verrière inside the 19th-century InterContinental Paris le Grand Hotel is also worth a culinary visit (and photo opp). Here are B+C editor Chloe's recent Paris recommendations! You can also hop, skip, and jump to the French Riviera AKA Côte d'Azur, a glamorous stretch of Mediterranean coastline in southeastern France for sun-soaked beaches and charming villages, like Èze and Antibes. There's also Nice and Cannes!

Raul De Los Santos

5. Newport, Rhode Island

My mom lived in Providence for a few years and this seaside town is perfect for trips with mom. It has Gilded Age mansions and some of the best beaches along the east coast. Only one hour from Boston and three hours from New York City (without traffic), Newport is accessible via train or bus from either east coast city. Go island hopping to the coves of Jamestown and the mini Goat Island, and enjoy the view from the fields of Hammersmith Farm, AKA Jackie Kennedy’s summer home. Another must-do for any first-time traveler to Newport is the Cliff Walk, a walking trail that winds along the coast from First Beach (and the mansions on Bellevue) to the sandy shores of Ocean Drive. For food: Flo’s Clam Shack, next to First Beach, is iconic for its quahogs and fried seafood and Newport Creamery is a local go-to for ice cream. Also, a sunset sail is sure to appeal to moms and daughters who love the sea.

6. Mackinac Island, MI

This historic island with a "no car" and no hotel chains policy is a darling spot to take mom. Just hop the ferry across Lake Huron from Mackinac City, MI and plan to stay at the coastal-grandma style Hotel Iroquois on Lakeshore. Enjoy one of Chef Greg Murphy’s award-winning dishes, such as the fresh seafood salad, and a waterfront view at The Carriage House. Rent a bike or horse carriage ride to admire the island's charming Victorian architecture along the East Bluff with grand views of Lake Huron. Don’t miss out on the Butterfly House (a butterfly museum), world-famous fudge, and a sunrise kayak tour for two.

7. New York City

My mom loves exploring big cities with me because I seem to make them less scary for her. I grew up just outside of New York City and lived there for 5 years and we both enjoyed so many weekends exploring Central Park, standing in line for half priced tickets to Broadway plays, shopping in Soho, and strolling the High Line. It was especially fun when I lived in the West Village with charming brownstones and delicious eateries like Boucherie. Enjoy Italian fare at Eataly, a rooftop drink at Panorarama Room from Roosevelt Island's Graduate hotel, high tea at the Plaza Hotel, and a spa treatment at Great Jones Spa. There's so much to pack in. Explore museums like the MoMA and Met too!

Ivaya Valcheva

8. Bermuda

I found a Caribbean cruise to be such a great way to travel with my mom because she and I walk at very different paces. We took a cruise from NYC to Bermuda for a dreamy island getaway. Bermuda is known for, well Bermuda shorts (they actually wear them!), and pink sand beaches, turquoise waters, and British-Caribbean charm. If cruises are really not your thing, stay at the luxe Rosewood Bermuda (every third night is free) for stunning ocean views or the classic boutique-style and more affordable Oxford House. Savor fresh seafood at The Lobster Pot or try the local specialty, fish chowder, at Wahoo’s Bistro. Explore the Crystal Caves, take a stroll through the historic St. George’s town, or snorkel among vibrant coral reefs at Tobacco Bay. Don’t miss Horseshoe Bay Beach for IG-worthy scenery.

9. Cotswolds, England

The Cotswolds, located in south-central England, is a picturesque region known for its charming villages, rolling hills, and quintessential English countryside. Consider this the Venice of England with canals and quaint stone bridges. The Lygon Spa Wim Hof at The Lygon Arms is surrounded by three acres of picturesque Cotswold scenery, where guests can experience a day of breath work, mindset exercises, and ice baths for the brave. You can also just lounge by the pool all day, enjoy afternoon tea, castle hop, and/or take a hot air balloon ride! Jane Austen fans? England will celebrate her 250th birthday in 2025. Head to nearby Bath for a Regency Ball as part of the Jane Austen Festival in September 2025. Bath is so charming and reminded me of a bit of Paris with its sandstone buildings. Pubs like the George Inn have amazing farm-to-table food too!

10. Prince Edward Island, Canada

Want to take an international trip with mom that doesn't take a whole day to travel? Located off the east coast of Canada in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Prince Edward Island is nestled among the Atlantic Provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. The capital city, Charlottetown (shown), is a historical hub of culture, festivals, boutique shops, and an amazing farm-to-table food scene, making it known as Canada’s Food Island. Visit the Green Gables Shore for trails and serene beaches and unique culinary offerings like The MacMillan Dining Room, where you can dine in a historic Victorian (mom will love it). Sign up for unique farm, food, and craft experiences to make your trip an even greater bonding experience. Before you leave, drive along the North Cape Coastal Drive for breathtaking sunsets and experience Acadian and native Mi’kmaq cultures in view. Don't forget to take a selfie with a giant 14-foot potato, sleep in a lighthouse, paddle board with goats or watch the tides collide!

Shutterstock

11. Riviera Nayarit, Mexico

This hidden gem near Sayulita, a bohemian surfer town, is a coastal dream with a diverse mix of pristine beaches, lush jungles, and charming towns. There's Punta Mita, known for its upscale resorts and world-class golf courses (my mom loves to play golf), and San Pancho, a sleepy village known for its eco-conscious community and stunning sunsets. Explore the Marietas Islands, a UNESCO-protected area perfect for snorkeling, diving, and spotting marine life. Whale-watching season from December to March, when humpbacks travel the seas, is a magical experience you and mom/daughter won't want to miss.

Shutterstock

12. Apostle Islands, Wisconsin

The Apostle Islands, located in Lake Superior off the coast of northern Wisconsin, are 22 islands known for their stunning natural beauty. The islands’ dramatic sea caves are carved into the sandstone cliffs by centuries of wind and waves. During summer, you and mom (or daughter) can explore them by kayak or boat. In winter, when conditions are right, the caves transform into a magical landscape of ice formations, that you can access by foot. The islands are also home to pristine beaches, lush forests, and diverse wildlife, making them ideal for hiking and birdwatching. Madeline Island, the largest and only inhabited island, offers charming shops, art galleries, and local eateries too.

Shutterstock

13. Santa Barbara, CA

With year-round sunny skies and spring-like temps, Santa Barbara beaches like Butterfly Beach and Arroyo Burro are perfect for strolls, picnics, and capturing coastal views. Visit the historic Old Mission Santa Barbara, shop your favorite shops plus local vendors on State Street; and explore the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. Take a scenic drive to the Santa Ynez Valley to enjoy wine tasting or visit Solvang, known for its Danish-style architecture and culture. Look out for whale-watching season as gray whales migrate along the California coast so take a tour to catch an amazing sight of them!

Tom Byrom

14. Lisbon, Portugal

My mom and I visited Lisbon on separate trips, but we both loved it. Lisbon’s charming cobblestoned streets, tiled hilltop homes, and relaxed pace make it a perfect year-round getaway. Explore the city’s landmarks, like theBelém Tower and Jerónimos Monastery, and hop the iconic canary-yellow Tram 28 through historic neighborhoods like Alfama and St. George's Castle. Enjoy Lisbon’s lively cafes and sample traditional pastries like pastel de nata or cream pastry, yum!

15. Sanibel Island, Florida

This island off the Gulf Coast of Florida is a nature lover's paradise with pristine beaches and tons of wildlife (including dolphins!). Known as "Shelling Capital of the World," you can spend hours combing the white sandy beaches for treasures like conch, scallop, and sand dollar shells. Nature lovers will appreciate the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge, a haven for migratory birds, manatees, and alligators. Take mom/daughter hiking, biking, and kayaking there too.

From the ever-popular Bump-It to tasty Lip Smackers, these “wacky” products defined 2000s beauty trends. And while some were total game-changers, others were downright disasters. Despite this, all 10 of these “wacky” beauty products definitely shaped who we are today and inspired our love for all things makeup, hair, skincare, and nails!

Scroll on to see the top 10 beauty products of the 2000s that we loved – and some we can't believe we ever used!

Amazon

1. Hair Bedazzlers

The ultimate way to bling out your look, hair bedazzlers let you snap tiny, sparkly rhinestones into your locks for a very princess-meets-pop-star vibe. Whether you were channeling your inner Britney or just wanted some extra glitz for a girls’ sleepover, this wacky gadget made every strand shimmer.

Amazon

2. Bump-Its

Now this is a classic. Remember those commercials? Nothing screamed "2000s hair" quite like Bump-Its. They were plastic inserts that promised to give your hair (especially your bangs) that effortless poof without endless teasing. We look back at them now and cringe.

Reddit

3. Crackle Nail Polish

We wish this one still existed, TBH. Crackle nail polish was the edgy, rebellious older sister of your regular ol’ nail polish. It created a cool, shattered effect as it dried. Our favorite thing to do was to pick out a silver crackle nail polish to layer over neon pinks or oranges. It’s giving Avril Lavigne energy!

@violentlips

4. Lip Tattoos

Lip gloss, who?! Lip tattoos let you rock everything from pink zebra stripes to a glittery cheetah print on your lips. Why this existed, we don’t know, but they were definitely a fun novelty at the time.

Walmart

5. Makeup “Phones”

Claire’s took so much of our money in the 2000s for these little makeup-packed phones. Beauty met tech (kind of…) with these makeup compacts disguised as flip phones – because what’s more 2000s than touching up your lip gloss while pretending to take a call?

Amazon

6. Bouncy Blush

Not quite a cream, but not quite a powder, bouncy blush was a weirdly satisfying cheek color with a wacky, squishy texture. It made applying blush feel like playing with putty, which made our teenage hearts sing. Half the fun was just poking it in the pan between uses.

Amazon

7. Hair Crimpers

Somehow, hair crimpers snuck their way into 2000s beauty trends, all the way from the ‘80s. They were the go-to styling tool! With just a few squeezes of those zig-zag plates, your hair totally transformed – but if we tried one now, it’d totally make us look like Weird Barbie.

Amazon

8. Lip Smackers

Every 2000s kid had at least five Lip Smackers floating around in their backpack! We were loyal to the classic Dr Pepper, but the brand dropped many more wacky flavors like Coca Cola, Skittles, and Fanta. They truly weren’t just lip balms – they were status symbols at every sleepover and middle school lunch table. Bonus points if you had the jumbo ones.

Amazon

9. Hair Chalk

For those who wanted to be rebels (but didn’t want to totally upset their strict parents), hair chalk was the #1 way to bring bold, colorful streaks to your locks without major consequences. While it did give a cool effect, it really didn’t stay on your strands for very long.

Amazon

10. Sun-In

You were so cool if you brought a bottle of Sun-In to the pool party. This lemon-infused lightening spray was the ultimate DIY highlight hack, but looking back now, all it did was damage our strands. We’ll never forget that smell, either!

Hello, starlights, and welcome to March 2025 — the month of rebirth and the renewal of the spirit. Spring awaits, awakening us to pick up speed. However, the cosmos percolates major lessons and shifts for everyone this month. Hold off on manifestation rituals, dates, or business launches, as we have retrogrades and eclipses. This month is all about the importance of prioritizing rest and future intentions. Love takes the backseat as Venus retrograde brings major lessons involving self-worth and values.

On top of that, Mercury retrograde will also set the brakes and scope in the importance of reviewing our communication process and ideas. That’s not all — eclipse season is here again, continuing our story arc that involves closing the chapter on past habits and healing while igniting set changes involving leadership and passion. The best part of this month is that we are about to witness a rare cosmic event — Neptune enters Aries for the first time since 1861! Marking a new era involving cultural shifts and a quantum leap toward new beginnings. Let’s take a deep dive and collectively find out what is in store this month. Also, look at what your zodiac sign will experience in March 2025. Check out your sun, moon, and rising sign for extended insight!

What To Expect in Your March Horoscope For 2025

Ava Dillon

March 2025 will be powerful and involve lessons in love and communication, yet it is also promising that people will begin living more intentionally. We start with Venus retrograde on March 1. These next several weeks will have us reexamine our love connections while also taking a closer look at our confidence levels. You can be delulu when involving love, as Venus retrograde can rope in insecurity in established relationships. Set realistic expectations and observe how you have lived your love story so far. Refine and redirect once Venus goes forward in motion on April 12. Although it isn’t favorable to start dating, reflecting on your self-worth and what beauty means for you is more impactful.

To support this phase, consider a self-worth ritual using rose quartz. Hold the crystal while reciting affirmations in the mirror, reminding yourself of your inherent value. This is also a time for energy healing — Reiki or guided meditations can help restore emotional balance. However, avoid major cosmetic procedures or hair transformations, or the results may backfire. Also, be mindful of making big purchases such as booking a venue or wedding dress shopping. Trust me, it will save you a lot of headaches in the long run.

Lauren Hemmert-Jensen

Conversations will begin to energize as Mercury enters Aries on March 3, spiraling in quick new ideas and more grit involving plans. Tempers could flare, and patience levels may run thin, as Aries wants nothing more than to get things started. It is a good time to initiate discussions or plant ideas but not a great time to negotiate. Expect more gridlock in communication as Mercury retrograde (yes, again) begins on March 15. This is a period for you to take the backseat and reevaluate your past thoughts involving leadership, authority, and how you intentionally live your life.

Journaling can be a powerful tool during this Mercury retrograde. Consider prompts like: “What leadership qualities do I admire, and how do I embody them?” or “How have I been communicating my needs, and where can I improve?” This retrograde can lead to a range of impulsive decisions or misunderstandings, so grounding yourself with mindful breathing exercises can bring clarity.

Eclipse season begins on March 14, and it kicks off with the Lunar Eclipse in Virgo. This eclipse marks the end of a chapter involving our habits and the beginning of a period of becoming more aligned with our well-being. It is a period to remove yourself from toxic situations and clear out the mind, body, and spirit. Your body knows what it needs.

Engage in a cleansing ritual to align with this lunar eclipse — salt baths, decluttering your space, or walking barefoot on grass can help ground you. This lunation will reveal what is weighing you down and help you make peace with the idea of letting go.

Madi Fagan

Then, Aries season begins on March 20, and in the middle of eclipse season, we will have to be mindful of burnout and more self-aware about how we can best utilize our energy. Aries desires movement, but with the eclipses happening, this is not an ideal time for spontaneous plans. Rest and observe your inner fire. Nurture it by granting yourself patience. Venus then shifts back into Pisces on March 27, immersing us in the need for more beauty and pleasure. Although this month may be sluggish involving plans, Venus in Pisces will feel like a breath of fresh air.

Set aside time to engage in creative expression. Painting, visiting an art museum, writing poetry, or immersing yourself in music will infuse your life with magic. These artistic activities will help you channel Venus in Pisces' dreamy energy and bring a sense of peace amid the cosmic chaos.

Mathilde Lagarrigue

Then, the Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 29 will begin a new era involving ambition and optimism in our journeys. As land-locked as you may feel this month, this solar eclipse will power up your hope and energize you to keep going. Any new ideas that come through are worth noting. In these next six months, expect momentum and continuous motivation.

To harness the power of this eclipse, try a candle meditation. Light a red or gold candle and focus on the flame, visualizing your goals manifesting over time. This will help you align with the upcoming wave of ambition without rushing into impulsive decisions.

Júlia Lafulla

March 30 concludes with a historical moment — Neptune enters Aries for the first time since 1861. It portends an era that will result in a powerful fusion of a spiritual movement and assertiveness. Humanity will thrive more on transparency and a direct focus on making things happen. Everything left unseen and left to the mystery will be revealed. The truth is key to making things happen.

This transit calls for bold spiritual practices. Breathwork, fire rituals, or working with red jasper can amplify your confidence and strengthen your spiritual vision. This is a time to trust your inner wisdom and take steps toward turning dreams into reality.

March is a month of deep shifts and preparation. Take it slow, listen to your intuition, and allow cosmic timing to unfold. The magic is already in motion — believe in it.

Aries (March 21 – April 20)

Hello, Aries! Expect March to be game-changing as several transits illuminate your first house of self and identity. Deep reflection, personal transformation, and energetic renewal are in store for you, but you must flex your ability to remain patient as retrograde and eclipses redirects your focus. Let's dive into your forecast:

March 1 – Venus Retrograde What do you see when you look into the mirror, Aries? Venus retrograde begins in your sign before retreating into your 12th house next month, and the love planet urges you to reflect on your self-worth, beauty, and past relationships. Nostalgia may pull your heartstrings, and hidden emotions resurface. Focus on self-care and healing rather than seeking external validation.

Expect the wheels to turn as your mind sharpens with Mercury entering your sign on March 3. If you felt hazy these last several weeks, this is your chance to find clarity in your ideas and the gumption to push through with your ambitions. Be mindful if your patience wears thin--your words may carry more weight than intended.

The Lunar Eclipse on March 14 signals a time for you to take care of your body. Recalibrate your mind, body, and spirit these next six months as a major shift in your daily habits and work-life balance arrives with the lunar eclipse in your 6th house. This eclipse will force you to slow down if you've been overworking. Pay close attention to your health and eliminate toxic routines that drain your energy.

Mercury retrograde begins on March 15. It is crucial to reflect on and review your current frame of mind and articulation. With the messenger planet in your sign, it is necessary to rethink your approach to self-expression. This is a period of introspection — avoid launching new projects and refine your vision this month. Miscommunications are likely, so choose your words wisely.

On March 20, your season begins with the Sun entering your sign. Although many shifts are happening, the Sun recharges your energy and confidence, bringing a renewed sense of purpose. This is your cosmic reset button — use it to set intentions for the year ahead.

Here is another cosmic boost for you: the solar eclipse will happen in your sign for the last time until 18 years from now (you made it!) on March 29. This powerful lunation signals a fresh start in your identity and personal goals. You're stepping into a new version of yourself—bold, ambitious, and ready to take charge. Be mindful of impulsive decisions as your glow-up will unfold over the next six months.

A rare and profound shift begins as Neptune moves into your sign on March 30, launching a long-term spiritual awakening and self-discovery journey. Your dreams and intuition will take center stage — trust the visions that arise. Take your time to review your path. The Universe is rooting for you to succeed!

Taurus (April 21 – May 21)

It is time to wind down and explore the inner realms, Taurus. The cosmos urges you to reflect and assess your emotional and spiritual well-being. With major activity happening in your 12th house, this is a time of release, healing, and reconnecting with your inner truth.

On March 1, observe your internal landscape as Venus retrograde unveils, inspires you to go through inner work, and prompts you to beautify your soul. When it progresses into your 11th house later this month, Venus will prompt you to pay attention to your friendships, support systems, and personal dreams. You may re-evaluate certain relationships, realizing who truly stands by your side. If past friendships resurface, reflect on whether they align with your growth. Avoid making impulsive social commitments, as clarity will come after April 12 when Venus moves forward again.

On March 3, Mercury enters Aries, sharpening your intuition and bringing subconscious thoughts to the surface. Dreams may be more vivid, and hidden messages could reveal themselves. However, by March 15, Mercury retrograde begins, urging you to slow down. Miscommunications may arise, and you’ll benefit from journaling or meditation to sort through your thoughts rather than making big decisions.

The March 14 Lunar Eclipse in your 5th house illuminates themes of creativity, passion, and personal joy. If you’ve felt blocked in expressing yourself, this lunation encourages you to release your fears. It’s also a powerful time to close a chapter in love—especially if a connection has been draining rather than inspiring.

With the Sun entering Aries on March 20 and a Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 29, your 12th house is once again activated. This signals a rebirth in your spiritual journey. Pay attention to intuitive nudges, and allow yourself time to rest before stepping into a new cycle of self-discovery.

Changes are brewing beginning on March 30 as Neptune enters Aries and this long-term transit calls for deep spiritual awakening. You’re being guided to trust divine timing and surrender what no longer serves you. Engage in breathwork, energy healing, or time in solitude to align with this cosmic reset.

On March 1, your views will alter your feelings in your networks and friendship circles as Venus retrograde will help you see how far you are progressing with your goals and whether you are given authentic support. Later this month, the love planet moves back into your 10th house, granting you focus on career matters.

Avoid making major career decisions or committing to new collaborations until Venus moves direct on April 12.

On March 3, Mercury enters Aries, energizing your social sector and inspiring you to connect with like-minded people. This is a great time for brainstorming and creative collaboration.

As the Sun enters Aries on March 20, followed by the Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 29, your 11th house is fully activated. This signals a new beginning in your social world—perhaps a fresh vision for the future, a new social circle, or an exciting collaboration. Still, take it slow and allow things to unfold organically.

On March 30, Neptune enters Aries and influences your long-term dreams and ideals! You may feel drawn to humanitarian efforts or creative projects that inspire collective change. Trust your intuition, but take baby steps to build up to something magical. Take your time navigating social shifts and career reflections, and allow the universe to realign your path.
