What the solar eclipse in Aries on March 29 means for your zodiac sign
The last eclipse of spring 2025 is happening on March 29, following the lunar eclipse earlier this month.
The action will unfold over a period of about 20 minutes on Saturday morning — specifically, from 6:46 am ET through 7:04 a.m. ET, according to Time And Date — and will be visible in eastern North America, most of Europe, western Africa and northern Asia.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon stands between the sun and Earth. This is a partial eclipse, so the moon will only partly block the sun — not creating the full-on effect seen during the eclipse last April.
Astrologically, solar eclipses mark moments of destiny. The universe is bringing matters to light in unexpected ways, offering us the chance to improve our personal situations. Unexpected and unforeseen circumstances that have been put on the back burner become the focal point, encouraging us to evolve.
Astrologers believe this particular solar eclipse will shake up our lives, bringing in fresh energy and new hopes.
The solar eclipse is in the fire sign Aries, bringing our passions and desires to the forefront of the day's cosmic energy. It's an opportunity to make immense strides in areas that need to transform.
The caveat is that Mercury and Venus retrograde might slow down matters from evolving swiftly, so let growth happen in its time. Be patient and kind, rather than acting out emotions.
We are now moving forward with our dreams and visions at the hands of fate. Now's the time to believe in the big picture of what is to come in the future.
From the moment you wake up, you'll want to jump out of bed and will feel eager to embrace all life offers. Your energy levels and passions will be very high, urging you to be in the moment and to be open to any possibility that comes your way.
The eclipse urges you to take time off from the daily grind and focus on R&R. Before you push yourself to take on more than you can chew, remember that this time is a call to heal your body and mind. Decompress and unwind now.
The world will feel limitless, and you will desire to throw caution to the wind and take risks that feel right. The only caveat is that you may be blinded by your impulsive desires, which is why you should think before acting to ensure you are making the right decisions.
It may feel like a cold splash of water is thrown at you without your knowledge, giving you s wake-up call to get your energy flowing and emotions flowing. Temperaments might be high but at least you are aware of situations.
It's a great time to learn about any fascinating subject matter and discuss your knowledge with others. Intellectual debates are encouraged to open yourself up to different philosophies and perspectives. Read a book, watch a documentary or visit a museum. The more you know, the more you can grow.
Your financial and business prosperity is counting on your ability to step out into the world and let your voice be heard. You have strong opinions, and you cannot hide what you are thinking during the eclipse. Inspires you to discuss your visions with colleagues and management.
Matters surrounding romantic situations can create illusions and unforeseen circumstances. This add to the confusion between what your heart wants and tricks that you once thought love should be based on misconceptions formed from the delusions you believe in. Authentic connections can be made by being honest with your partner.
Not only are you going to feel like you're an equal at the office, but you will finally feel like you've attained professional peace and balance. By the end of the eclipse, you'll have a new vibe and energy that leads you to infinite success due to changes at work.
The good news is that this eclipse will bring you an emotional high, allowing you to take leaps and bounds when starting a new path with your one and only in romantic endeavors. With a possible commitment or recommitment coming, you'll want to share the positivity and excitement with everyone.
Do not settle for anything less than what you deserve. Although you tend to be passive at times to avoid unnecessary confrontation, the eclipse is giving you the strength and motivation to get what you want and need when it comes to relationships and family matters.
Emotions will be high, especially with Mercury's retrograde deepening sentiments and thinking about past wounds. Try to be compassionate with others when asserting your feelings to avoid making a scene or adding drama to a delicate situation with those you love.
As long as you save your pennies for a rainy day, you can be in a position to create a better relationship with money. Try paying off your debts and getting your situation in order to lead you to a freer place.

June's full moon will be 14% smaller. Here's why and when to see it in Florida
June's full moon is nearly upon us, but skygazers might notice something slightly different about the 2025 strawberry moon. The full moon in June 2025 will make its debut about 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than it typically is because the moon will be in apogee, its farthest point from Earth. You might hear some people refer to this strawberry moon as a 'micromoon,' similar to how it's called a 'supermoon' when in perigee, or the closest point to Earth. NASA says that the strawberry moon will hit its peak around 2:44 a.m. CT on Wednesday, but your best bet to see the moon at its fullest will likely be Tuesday night. The strawberry moon will peak at 2:44 a.m. CT/3:44 a.m. ET on Wednesday in Florida. The best time to view the full moon will be on Tuesday night, according to NASA. The moon's orbit will be in apogee when it reaches its fullest phase early Wednesday morning. Apogee describes the moon's orbit when it is at its farthest point from Earth. During apogee, a full moon is often called a "micromoon" because it will appear smaller than it normally does. The difference isn't likely to be noticed by most people, however. The nicknames used to describe full moons have origins that can be traced back to Native American, Colonial American and European sources, according to the Farmer's Almanac. June's strawberry moon might give people the impression that it will rise with a reddish-pink hue, similar to a blood moon, but the nickname is a bit more literal than that. According to the Farmer's Almanac, the strawberry moon nickname has been used by Native American Algonquian, along with the Ojibwe, Dakota and Lakota peoples, to mark a time when strawberries are ready to be picked. The strawberry moon nickname might have prevailed as the most popular in recent times, but it's certainly not the only name given to June's full moon. The Anishinaabe people called it the blooming moon due to the flowering season; the Cherokee tribe referred to it as the green corn moon and the Western Abenaki used the name hoer moon, which suggested that it was time to tend to young crops, according to the almanac. The moon takes about 29½ days to revolve around Earth, which is called a lunar cycle, according to the Lunar and Planetary Institute. As the moon moves through its various stages, it experiences several phases of partial light. These range from a banana-shaped crescent moon, a D-shaped quarter moon and a nearly full gibbous moon. There are seven full moons remaining this year; three will be supermoons.

June full moon this week has major lunar standstill. Won't happen again until 2043
June's full moon promises to be a special sight, if Mother Nature cooperates. June's full moon will be at its lowest point since 2006 since we're in the middle of a major lunar standstill. You'll have to wait awhile before it rolls around again; It won't happen again until 2043. If you're outside, the moon will appear larger than normal low on the horizon and may even be orange or reddish. Here's what to know. The next full moon will be on Wednesday, June 11, with the peak occurring at 3:44 a.m. ET. 'The June full Moon got the name 'strawberry moon' from a number of North American native tribes, since the wild strawberry reaches peak ripeness and is ready for harvesting in June,' according to the Farmers Almanac. "Because of the importance of the wild strawberry as a spring food staple, the name 'Strawberry Moon' was given to the June full moon by the Algonquin, Ojibwe, Dakota, Lakota, Chippewa, Oneida, and Sioux tribes." June's full moon will be special. "In the Northern Hemisphere, it will be the lowest full moon seen until 2043, staying unusually close to the horizon " according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. Look for the full moon at 3:44 a.m. ET June 11, about 22 degrees above the southern horizon. "When the moon is low in the sky it appears especially big." The last time the full moon was this low was 18.6 years ago, according to in what's known as a major lunar standstill. It won't happen again until 2043. As the moon shines through the thick layer of air, it may appear golden, orange, or even reddish. June's full moon is the closest full moon to the summer solstice, which falls on June 21 this year. The summer solstice marks the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. Look toward the southern horizon at 3:44 a.m. ET on June 11. Can't pull yourself out of bed? You can see it later but that's the time it will reach its peak. Make sure you have a clear view since the moon will only be about 22 degrees above the horizon. "Every day, the moon rises in the east and sets in the west, but the location of the moonrise and moonset on the horizon changes, moving from north to south to north again over the course of a month. Throughout the 18.6-year lunar cycle, the northernmost and southernmost extremes also change," said. "During a major lunar standstill, the northernmost and southernmost moonrise and moonset are at their farthest distance apart. This affects how long the moon appears to stay in the sky." Called a 'major lunar standstill,' the natural phenomenon doesn't take place over one day but over about two years when the moon rises and sets at more northerly and southerly spots along the horizon, said. According to the remaining full moons of 2025 are: Thursday, July 10: 4:37 p.m. ET, buck moon Saturday, Aug. 9: 3:55 a.m. ET, sturgeon moon Sunday, Sept. 7: 2:09 p.m. ET, corn moon Monday, Oct. 6: 11:48 p.m. ET, hunter's moon (super moon) Wednesday, Nov. 5: 8:19 a.m ET., beaver moon (super moon) Thursday, Dec. 4: 6:14 p.m. ET, cold moon (super moon) The summer solstice occurs at 10:41 p.m. ET, June 20 this year. The solstice marks the exact time when the sun reaches it northernmost point in the sky, according to EarthSky. In the Northern Hemisphere, the June solstice marks the shortest night and longest day of the year. This article originally appeared on Treasure Coast Newspapers: June full moon is June 11.

Directive 8020's rewind feature makes play-your-own-survival-horror easier for completionists
Supermassive's well-regarded interactive survival horror series, the Dark Pictures Anthology, is ready for its second season. Directive 8020 will be its first entry and was available to play in demo form at SGF 2025, even if it was heavily weighted with cutscenes and context-setting preamble. The demo kicked off with a meeting between Young and Stafford, marking the anniversary of Young's father's death, who was also a long-time friend of Stafford's – the commander of the space mission that Young is also bound for. The plot then leaps four years forward, placing us aboard the spaceship Cassiopeia. Oh and it's somehow overrun by some fungal, sentient alien goop. Worse still, but also a horror staple, the goop is coalescing into almost-perfect copies of the human crew. Trust no-one! To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. When the hydroponics bay is overrun by an alien substance, two crewmates Cernan and Stafford, have to fight their ET doppelgangers. Finally, I got to play (but only for a few minutes), moving stealthily around the lower deck of the hydroponics bay while my alien copy (now fungal and angry) tried to hunt me down. Fortunately, you're equipped with a scanner to mark where the aliens were last seen, and after triggering a nearby hydroponic pod to distract, I made my way up the ladder. This was one of three ways to play this section, handily introducing a new mechanic for The Dark Pictures' second run: Turning Points. Using this feature, you can rewind to these decision trees, allowing you to replay sections and explore different options or alter the outcome. This is an interesting change for the series. In previous games, while you could rewind to replay entire sections in macro, there was no way to change a single micro decision. I discussed this with my colleague Jessica Conditt, and we're both the kind of players to continue with our terrible decisions in games like Directive 8020 , the Dark Pictures Anthology, Until Dawn and the rest. Fortunately, then, Directive 8020 will include a hard-boiled Survivor Mode – with no rewinds. The demo shifted back to a more narrative focus and cutscenes, briefly interrupted by the possibility that one crew member (specifically, the CEO funding the whole operation) might be an alien. Did I pull the trigger? Nope. I'll have to wait til the October launch to know if that was the right decision to make. Directive 8020 launches on 2nd October, 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam.
