Love Horoscope For Each Zodiac Sign On March 3 — Mercury Enters Aries
Change how you think and speak to your partner while Mercury is in fire sign.
Design: YourTango Mercury, the planet of communication, will shift into Aries on Monday, March 3, affecting each zodiac sign's love horoscope all day. Mercury is the planet that governs your internal thought process as well as how you communicate with others. Typically, in Aries, you become impulsive in your decisions and less interested in taking your time thinking anything through.
While you can be careful of frustration or an increased temper, this period can help you make decisions and forge ahead. However, with Mercury preparing to station retrograde on March 15, you must consciously slow yourself down so you don’t make any choices you will regret.
The path of Mercury will mirror that of Venus throughout the next few weeks, signifying that you need to be extra careful of any decisions you make, especially romantically.
Mercury retrograde is famous for bringing back unwanted exes or situations into your life, and with Mercury already in pre-shadow, this energy will intensify as the planet of communication moves into Aries.
Mercury will be in Aries until March 29, when it moves back into Pisces as part of its retrograde journey. As much as you may want to rush ahead, make plans, or secure your relationship with a new person, you are being urged to slow down and practice caution. Watch what you commit to and what you say, knowing it’s better to pause than be left with a decision you regret.

Each zodiac sign's love horoscope for March 3, 2025:
Aries

Set an intention for you to feel genuinely understood, Aries. You can often have good intentions but then feel somehow along the way they get lost, or others just don’t understand you.
Mercury in your zodiac sign offers insight into how to shift your communication style so you can feel seen and understood by your partner.
Yet, this also means you must be open to change as well. The idea is never to be perfect, but simply to be better than you were yesterday.
Taurus

Embrace the present moment, dear Taurus. Mercury in Aries may make you seek greater solitude as your thoughts and inner voice feel overwhelming.
You will especially need to be mindful of slowing down, as you can gain greater insight from your intuition, but you’re not yet meant to take action on it.
Instead, use this time for reflection and for coming to peace with those times in your life when you didn’t listen to your intuition, as this will help you understand what changes may need to be made.
Gemini

Allow yourself to be in the process, beautiful Gemini. You will be in a phase of feeling social and communicative.
While this can help you in other areas of your life, it could cause challenges for you in your romantic life.
Watch for outside influence from those who disagree with your choices and maintain healthy boundaries.
You are meant to learn to make decisions for yourself versus relying on others, so while you are feeling sociable, be sure you’re not rushing yourself to make impulsive choices.
Cancer

Be yourself, Cancer. Mercury in Aries will bring greater focus to how you are seen by others, including a romantic partner.
While this period could benefit from feeling like you are being seen as your true self, you do want to ensure you don’t succumb to any challenges.
Be mindful of any choices, aligning with your true self or actively working to have others see you in a particular way.
You never need to announce who you are, but embody the traits you feel represent your authentic self.
Leo

Not all possibilities are worth exploring, Leo. While Mercury in Aries will increase your curiosity and desire to learn, it also makes you prone to investigating new romantic possibilities if you’re in a relationship.
Use this energy to explore your current connection in greater depth or infuse it with new experiences rather than letting yourself start looking elsewhere.
This may also be an opportune time to understand if a connection will truly manifest in the ways you are hoping, but take your time making any decisions.
Virgo

You can’t convince your partner of anything, Virgo. Ensure you’re not trying to convince your partner of anything, especially once Mercury moves into Aries.
Themes surrounding finances and shared resources will be heightened, but it should never be a situation where you’re trying to convince your partner of what you deserve.
Use this energy to focus on strengthening your partnership and be open to deepening your spiritual connection with one another.
This can be an extremely positive time, as long as you don’t end up arguing over finances or choosing money over love.
Libra

You may feel done, Libra. Mercury in your house of relationships can often create profound conversation opportunities and help you feel a deeper mental connection with your partner.
However, with Venus already retrograde in Aries and Mercury set to join the planet of love on March 15, you may be feeling done.
Done explaining yourself, trying to make anything better, and feeling like you’re the only one doing any work in your relationship.
While this may be a positive step for you, you must remember not to make any decisions until after April 12; otherwise, you may repeat certain cycles.
Scorpio

How you feel about yourself affects everything else, sweet Scorpio.
Mercury in Aries invites you to focus and reflect on what you need to feel like your best self. This can often become a dealbreaker in relationships as you’re no longer willing to put up with less.
However, this would be a positive time to seek therapy and be mindful of boundaries with others. You set the tone for your life, beginning with how you treat yourself.
Make sure that you’re addressing any issues regarding the foundation of your relationship to limit the challenges you experience in the future.
Sagittarius

Express your deepest desires, Sagittarius. As Mercury moves into Aries, you will be emboldened to express and speak on what matters most to you.
You may also find that you express yourself creatively or romantically during this time. But with any benefits also come warnings, so you want to ensure you’re not giving any ultimatums during this time and being mindful not to overpromise.
Share your deepest feelings and what you are hoping for in your romantic future, but be willing to see reality.
Capricorn

Communication isn’t only about speaking but also listening, dear Capricorn. Mercury in Aries will highlight themes in your relationship, especially if you live together or share a family.
While being guided to be emotionally vulnerable with your partner, you want to make sure you are creating space to listen to the one you love.
Being assertive is usually a trait you have no problem with, but in this case, it won’t be of benefit.
Continue to challenge yourself to speak emotionally but also make sure you truly listen to your partner as that could help you avoid a situation in which you’re faced with a break-up.
Aquarius

Speak only about what is necessary, Aquarius. There is a saying to only speak on what is important, kind, and necessary which will become your mantra in the weeks ahead.
Mercury in Aries can help you become assertive and forthright in your communication; however, it can also lead you to talk simply. This may not always be of benefit, especially if you’re not thinking before you speak.
Be mindful of what you share with your partner and that you’re not leading them to feel overwhelmed or unseen in your relationship.
Pisces

Advocate for what it is you deserve, Pisces. You may be tired of feeling like you always have to explain what it is you deserve in relationships.
While this has been a lesson that you were meant to learn, you now need to move into a space of embodiment.
This means you are still advocating for yourself, but you’re not crossing that line into over-explaining or trying to change someone you’re in a relationship with.
Focus on just living your life, knowing you are worthy in each and every minute.
You’ve explained yourself enough already, so if someone is still falling short, then that may mean they aren’t meant to be in your life.
