The Eclipses of Spring 2025
As we journey through the first few months of 2025, we're approaching a powerful eclipse season that will stir up potent energies within us. This March, we'll experience a Lunar Eclipse in Virgo on the 14th, followed by a Solar Eclipse in Aries on the 29th. The lunar eclipse continues the 2-year series in the Pisces/Virgo polarity which began last September. The solar eclipse marks the final eclipse in the Aries/Libra series. The range of influence for each eclipse is about 2 weeks before and after the event.
The 2 week period between the eclipses, also known as the “eclipse portal,” is a time to notice messages and guidance in the outer world as well as your inner world. The realm of night time dreams, for example, might get very active for you. Take note of any dreams you have. They have a message for your next steps on your life path. Synchronicities, chance meetings with people from the past, and new people coming in, also point the way for you in this next stage of your journey.
Eclipses operate on both the collective and the individual levels. We can all tap into the energy of the lunar or solar eclipse by paying attention to the astrological sign it occupies and consciously working with the themes at play. Individually, you can go deeper with ritual and intention by paying attention to where the eclipses land in your personal chart (by natal house or any planets aspected).
If you'd like to understand how these eclipses are specifically affecting your birth chart, I invite you to schedule a reading with me.
The March 14th Virgo Lunar Eclipse: Embracing Release and Discernment
Virgo, with its meticulous and analytical nature, encourages us to examine the details of our lives and make necessary adjustments. This is a time for decluttering, both physically and emotionally, creating space for new growth and opportunities to emerge.
A lunar eclipse shines light on things we may have kept in the shadows. This eclipse in Virgo will spotlight areas of discontent–with our life, with others, and within ourselves. During this time we are more likely to see what’s wrong than what’s right. Rather than be in denial about this, it’s important to confront the roots of any dissatisfaction. Only then can we begin to create a remedy.
How to Navigate the Virgo Lunar Eclipse:
Reflect and Release: Take time to journal, meditate, or sit in quiet contemplation. What needs to be refined or improved in your life?
Embrace Discernment: Virgo's energy encourages us to be selective and discerning. Pay attention to the details, analyze your choices, and make decisions that align with your values and goals.
Prioritize Self-Care: Virgo also rules health and well-being. Use this eclipse to prioritize self-care practices that nourish your mind, body, and spirit.
Look for realistic solutions: Focus on what is within your control to fix, and let go of what isn’t.
The March 29th Aries Solar Eclipse: Igniting Courage and New Beginnings
The Aries Solar Eclipse marks the final eclipse in the Aries/Libra series, bringing a powerful opportunity for new beginnings and bold action. Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, is known for its courage, initiative, and pioneering spirit. This eclipse encourages us to step into our authentic selves, embrace our passions, and pursue our dreams with renewed enthusiasm.
The Aries shadow can also show up during this time. We might feel anger and not understand why. Or, maybe we know very well why we’re angry, but we suppress it, fearing conflict. This can lead to us causing unnecessary harm to others with biting words or impulsive reactions. The invitation is to be present with our anger and to understand its source. We can also thank our anger for showing us where we need to set boundaries.
How to Navigate the Aries Solar Eclipse:
Take Inspired Action: What have you been waiting to start? This eclipse provides the motivation you need to take that first step and initiate new projects or endeavors.
Embrace Courage: Aries is the warrior archetype. Confront your fears, step outside your comfort zone, and dare to be bold.
Set Intentions: Use this powerful eclipse energy to set clear intentions for what you want to create and manifest in the coming months.
Find healthy ways to release anger: Don’t let anger get the best of you. Engage in physical activity, a creative project, or political activism.
Remember, eclipses are powerful catalysts for change, initiating a ripple effect that can be felt for several months before and after the actual event. Embrace the transformative energy of this eclipse season and allow it to illuminate your path towards greater self-awareness, personal growth, and a deeper connection to your soul's purpose. Pay close attention to the subtle shifts and synchronicities unfolding in your life during this time, as they may hold valuable clues and guidance for your journey ahead.
Wishing you a transformative eclipse season!
