TOTAL VIRGO LUNAR ECLIPSE: Karmic echoes!
With the world as tense as it is right now and with so many uncertainties……I believe the understanding of cosmic patterns can provide valuable insights into the underlying currents we are in. Because after all whatever happens above in the cosmos is symbolic and at the same time correlates with the themes and experiences occurring here on Earth. Astrology reveals a way of aligning with these natural rhythms, connecting us with the flow of life as to balance these energies within ourselves.
Astrology speaks directly to these themes, guiding us back to our truest nature.
Generally……
NEW AND FULL MOON’s give us important information regarding how to align with this cosmic energy written in the skies.
and
SACRED FIRE CEREMONIES🔥 are opportunities to participate in a more intimate, sacred and connected manner; A time to tap into and unleash the moon’s transformative powers to heal, empower and illuminate our lives, offering potent OPPORTUNITIES when energies converge to release stress, anxiety and negativity.
New Moons are typically about: the planting or seeding of new ideas, vision, wishes and dreams.
and
Full Moons are typically about: harnessing our energy into reality and illuminating our path forward with clarity and insight!
Eclipses are celestial events that occur when one of these astronomical bodies moves into the shadow of the other, they are breaks in the natural rhythms and often bring great change and/or even chaos!
While the Full Moon’s energy is typically about the fruition of the intentions set at the new moon, this full moon is unique in that it is a total lunar eclipse at 23 degrees Virgo. It’s most likely going to be quite a scrutinizing ride! This powerful Total Lunar eclipse, blood moon, is heightening the Virgo motif. It Disappears, gets shadowed and becomes red.
Lunar eclipses indicate abrupt openings and/or endings that blot out the light of the Moon and point toward our more hidden, shadowy and unconscious aspects.
Today’s lunar eclipse carries a dual symbolism-not only marking a culmination and release, but also planting the seeds of something new.
Occurring just a week before the spring equinox, this powerful eclipse blends the energy of vision and renewal with the release of what no longer serves us, presenting opportunities to align with a deeper purpose and channeling our motivations toward our dreams, goals and visions.
By embracing both healing and clearing practices we create space for these dreams to take root and manifest!
So, our question is this….
WHAT NEEDS TO BE RELEASED, CLEARED, HEALED AND LET GO OF SO THAT OUR DREAMS AND INBORN CALLINGS CAN SHINE OUT?
I ask this because….
All of this year 2025 and into 2026 happens to be a very pivotal time astrologically!
A year of restless energy building to a peak, a quickening of pace, upheaval, breakthroughs and movement!
We can ask ourselves…
Is there a wild idea percolating within?
If so, this chapter supports growth and expansion, it may be an ideal time for that spark of insight or wild idea to be beckoned into action.
Famous astrologer Andre Barbault who famously predicted covid event quoted……
“The next conjunction (of Saturn/Neptun) in 2026 is centrally placed at the beginning of Aries and in a triangular quartet of planets with a double sextile to a trine between Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius. It is the most benefic configuration of the century, and its interplanetary partnership will work for the best in a splendid launch of civilization.” Andre Barbault
We are now amid one of the most powerful and momentous months astrologically of 2025, which in and of itself is a potent and momentous turning point within a much larger collective and historical cycle.
We have 2 eclipses this month as well as the major outer planet Neptune changing signs at the end of the month triggering the place where Neptune and Saturn will soon come together in their most poignant configuration!
The beginning of this month started with Venus going Rx at 9 degrees, the same degree that Mercury stations Rx tomorrow …. lending to having to navigate lots of twists, turns, delays and adjustments, reversals and reevaluations….as well as nudging us towards a big dream or new vision that wants birthing later this month!
This lunar eclipse is especially potent in that it’s a total lunar eclipse.
ECLIPSES classically carry strong, unsettling or chaotic vibes that tend to speed up life dramatically: often harnessing abrupt endings and new beginnings. Eclipses draw a time when usual rhythms are off or not working as well in order to see what areas of our personal lives are also not working well. With this eclipse we look to the realm of Virgo to know more.
This astrological chapter marks a shift in eclipse season as well as signifying the shift over to much larger cosmic changes that are about to occur; marking this time as a momentous and potent time signaling the closing of one major historical chapter for the initiation of a new one; one that considers the integration of our dreams into reality!
This Virgo eclipse highlights communication patterns, everyday habits, health regimens, and perfectionist tendencies that are ready to be reset or released. This extra self-critical eclipse in Virgo is essentially about scrutiny for sake of purifying and perfecting. With mercury ruling this eclipse and simultaneously about to station retrograde, things could get harrier than usual. *****If things feel uneasy, resist the urge to push forward. This eclipse will unveil more questions than answers, so it’s better to pause and parse through whatever gets dredged up.
South nodes are about release and clearing and this South node eclipse in Virgo supports us to release the need for everything to be pure, perfect and right. The intention during the South node Virgo eclipse is to release any expectation of yourself and others to be perfect or right because where the South node resides is where these tendencies will be decreased in general.
This shedding creates space for new systems to be built that are smarter, more sustainable, and more nourishing.
Still, it will be important to discern what needs fixing and what is better left alone.
This South node lunar eclipse about purifying, releasing and letting go is receiving the support of the sextile from Uranus and from Mercury as the ruler: the planet known to create change and breakthroughs meets that of intellectual capacities, priming us with a ton of potential for healing, growth and breakthroughs!
This eclipse is embedded with both Venus and Mercury. Mercury is the ruler of this eclipse and Venus is the ruler of the final solar eclipse at the end of the month. Venus and Mercury have been dancing back and forth all month over the 9th degree of Aries through retrogrades and direct motion.
We are about to complete the18-month eclipse cycle in Aries/Libra at the end of the month, officially closing the chapter around the topics of partnership, relationship dynamics and patterns of independence vs. partnership, people-pleasing vs healthy selfishness.
VENUS AND MERCURY ARE NOW GOING DOWN INTO THE UNDERWORLD TOGETHER AND GETTING US TO THE POINT THAT WE NEED TO GET TO, TO UNEARTH SOMETHING SO CENTRAL, SPECIFIC AND IMPORTANT. ITS ABOUT, COLLECTIVELY, HOW WE COME TOGETHER AND WORK THROUGH THIS MOMENT AND OPTIMALLY UNITE IN ORDER TO PREPARE FOR A TIME TO BE LOUD, EFFECTIVE AND DEMONSTRATIVE.
Retrograde symbolism as seen in VENUS AND SOON MERCURY is a time of momentarily turning away from the future to prepare for the upcoming change in cosmic direction. To Temporarily re-connect with the past in order to sort out remaining details in preparation for the next shift forward!!!! The retrogrades invite us to ask what is distracting us before we can put into the next big thing?
A red light for now, a pause to look back, review, clear and declutter. Decisions are coming up about things that have been lingering and using up too much space.
So, this eclipse essentially bridges the old and the new.
This eclipse is not conducive for major undertakings like our solar eclipse near the end of the month, so watch your health, energy and shore up your immunity…. there are 2 echos of health, one with the eclipses themselves as well as with stations, which the ancients compared to a sick person getting out of bed, it will be slow going. South node eclipses are about reduction, simplifying and clearing out, a low energy time; so just do the minimum you can. Give yourself 24 hours to 2 weeks to focus on this clearing and purifying energy for dealing with unfinished business. This is a time to get quiet and tune into what needs clearing.
Eclipses are when the light goes out and the lunar eclipse is when the Moon’s light is blocked and is more about subconscious, unconscious, mythic, nighttime-oriented ways of thinking that get heightened. The areas not fully conscious get the opportunity to be brought to the surface of awareness. Pay attention to dreams and liminal spaces and take time for self-reflection and meditative spaces.
Potent eclipses help clear whatever stands in the way: old ideas and mental baggage or habits that are draining. It’s an optimal time to ditch what no longer works…say thank you, but I’ve outgrown this!.
Releasing less desirable aspects creates space to envision our unique purpose, inspiring a renewed sense of direction for our dreams, while embracing healing modalities to support the clarity and manifestation of those visions.
THE SHIFT OF NEPTUNE INTO ARIES IS AN IMPORTANT COLLECTIVE SHIFT THAT SUPPORT OUR VISIONS!!!!!!!!
NEPTUNE IS ABOUT TO EXIT FROM PISCES WHERE IT’S BEEN EMMERSED IN ITS NIGHTLY SWIM IN THE LAND OF THE MYSTICAL, IMAGINAL AND TRANSCENDANT FOR 14 YEARS AND IS ABOUT TO MOVE AND INTO THE REALM OF THE PIONEERING CHAMPION, STEPPING HEROICALLY INTO NEW TERRAIN.
With Neptune moving from its mystical Kool aid and aligning with the archetype of Aries where it is ruled by Mars, the warrior and where the Sun stands in exaltation; it’s a time that draws up the currents of action, bravery, courage and risk taking in the name of something sacred, a sort of Heroic spirituality.
NEPTUNE INTO ARIES on March 30th is deeply embedded with the Spring equinox energy which signifies a SHIFT IN THE COLLECTIVE MOOD and is the biggest most impactful ingress of the decade!
And because it coincides with a conjunction with Saturn EVERYONE IS GOING TO FEEL THIS!
This lunar eclipse offers space and time for release, internal exploration and healing in order to be optimally prepared for the potent shifts coming our way astrologically.
Before we can align with these forces and in order to do so with humility, we are encouraged first to learn the Venus/ Mercury message presented to us now.
Virgo South node’s friendly reminder is that Virgo’s desire for perfection can tip over into hypercriticality, so this eclipse could also spotlight where our inner critics and judgements tend to get carried away. Look where you might relax a bit, breath and loosen the reigns.
The days surrounding this lunar eclipse are an opportunity to center self-care rituals and nervous system regulation. Allowing waves of feelings to move through you, without trying to rationalize them is the medicine to get us through. There might be insights and understandings surfacing during this time, just take note and wait to act. From now and for the next two weeks take time to create a cozy cocoon of self-healing; so, bring on the Epson salts, essential oils and rest and invite in freewriting, meditation and even a good cry.
Ways to support you in this eclipse
1. Expect unexpected and welcome sudden change
2. Refrain from decision making
3. Create list of wellness rituals
4. Take stock of time w/ others
5. Assess relationship w/ self-criticism
6. Clean living space
7. Reset: shower, music, meditation, rest
8. Embrace small things
9. Work through emotions
10. *Take this list and throw it away if you like: it’s a time to release perfectionism…so take this time to connect with small pleasures, hopefully limit screen time and bolster compassionate inner dialogue.
MANTRA: I WELCOME THE TRANSFORMATIONS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE, TRUSTING THAT THEY WILL GET ME TO WHERE I NEED TO GO. WHY WORRY, WHAT IS MEANT FOR ME IS MEANT TO FIND ME. THERE IS A LOVING FORCE LONGING TO ASSIST ME.
***May our learnings help us cultivate kindness towards ourselves and others and may we serve wisely and generate compassion for all things!
In Cosmic Alignment and Love,
SONJA✨💫💕
