March 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most eventful months of the year, and at the heart of it is the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo on March 14 at 2:55 AM EST (March 13 at 11:55 PM PST). This total lunar eclipse is a powerful moment of release, change, and transformation, marking the beginning of a new cycle in the Virgo/Pisces axis. With two eclipses, two inner planet retrogrades, the astrological New Year, an outer planet shift, and potent aspects occurring throughout the month, buckle up—this cosmic ride will be intense.
The upcoming eclipses in March are likely to close one chapter of your life and open another, pushing you forward into a new reality. Let's dive deep into the energy of this eclipse and what it means for you.
Eclipses & The Fated Path
Eclipses are more than just ordinary full or new moons. They are potent portals of destiny, aligning with the lunar nodes—points in the sky associated with karma, fate, and major life shifts. Because of this, eclipses have a way of bringing sudden and sometimes dramatic changes that realign us with our life path.
The lunar nodes shift backward through the zodiac, completing a full cycle every 18.6 years, meaning eclipse cycles repeat in the same areas of our birth chart approximately every 9 and 18 years. If you look back to previous eclipses in Virgo and Pisces, you may notice patterns that reveal significant turning points in your life.
The Virgo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse: A Time to Release & Reset
This eclipse at 23° Virgo is the first in the Pisces/Virgo eclipse series that will unfold over the next year. Virgo and Pisces are both signs of service and sacrifice, yet they approach these themes differently. Virgo is practical, detail-oriented, and seeks to improve, while Pisces is fluid, imaginative, and spiritually inclined.
During this eclipse, the South Node (the point of release) sits next to the Moon, emphasizing themes of letting go, endings, and clearing out anything that no longer serves you. Virgo’s shadow side can manifest as perfectionism, over-analysis, and being overly critical—traits that may need to be released during this time to make way for more creativity, trust, and flow (Pisces energy).
The Astrological Influences
Several planetary aspects add layers to the intensity of this eclipse:
Sun & Saturn in Pisces opposite the Moon: Reality checks, discipline, and the need for emotional maturity.
Uranus in Taurus trine the Moon: Unexpected but positive changes and breakthroughs.
Mercury (ruler of Virgo) in Aries, conjunct a retrograde Venus in Aries: Bold, impulsive communication mixed with reconsiderations in relationships and finances.
This eclipse will likely bring significant shifts, particularly in the area of your chart ruled by Virgo. The events unfolding around this time may feel fated, as if the universe is guiding you toward an inevitable turning point. But have no doubt this area of your life will no longer be the same.
