Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo – Perfecting Your Vision During this Time of Uncertainty

In the hushed hours before dawn tomorrow, March 14, 2025, at 2:56 AM Eastern Daylight Time, we collectively experience a Total Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in the late degrees of Virgo. This marks the first Eclipse this year, and it is made quite powerful by very close alignments with:

  • The North and South Nodes of the Moon which are about balancing Karma and Dharma – your past and your future – your comfort zone with what you’re meant to be stretching toward, which probably feels a little scary.
  • Saturn who symbolizes building a new solid foundation, your ambition, and your absolute AUTHENTICITY of Self.
  • Chiron who asks “where do you belong now?” And who let’s you know it’s time to heal your past and move on to a wiser, more integrated version of you.
  • Uranus, who requires you to live out your one-of-kind unique characteristics, and insists that it’s time for a huge paradigm shift. If you haven’t offered up your quirky, outside-the-box talents, the rest of us are missing them and need you to bring them forth.
  • And Neptune, who fuels your imagination, your inspiration, your connection to beauty, and who pushes you to reach for the Divine in Self and Other, all with unconditional love and acceptance.

This Lunar Eclipse is a powerful moment of culmination and release, in anticipation of birth and renewal heralded by the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 29.

This Virgo energy invites you to enter this Eclipse Cycle by evaluating what is being illuminated for you right now. Is this glowing reflected light bringing clarity and consciousness to something you’ve been envisioning or dreaming about for some time? Is your dream coming into clearer focus? This full-moon moment of culmination is about celebrating what has been achieved and what WILL be achieved, and releasing what no longer serves. This practice creates a psychological and emotional gateway to new beginnings.

One of the beautiful things about the energy of the Virgo/Pisces Axis (the Full Moon is in Virgo, opposing the Sun and many other planets in Pisces) is the potential to bring balance between the dream and reality – helping to push the vision in your head into tangible reality. Virgo energy assists you in pulling the seed from your imagination and planting it into the fertile soil of earthy manifestation. And she loves doing that. Virgo’s focus is to serve.

Part of the energy of this Full Moon Eclipse is the connection between Uranus and Saturn, making it clear that you are inhabiting a time when your foundation isn’t as solid as you’ve believed. And this uncertainty leaves you open to all kinds of possibilities that you probably haven’t encountered or thought about before. As long as you can be flexible of emotion, spirit and mind, this can be an incredibly fertile place to occupy, showing you multiple avenues of potential as you process the best ways to move forward.

The Virgo Moon and South Node asks you to call on previously honed powers of discernment and analysis, so that you can make sense of all the possibilities that are lining the road to the future. All those planets currently in Pisces are opening you up to so many visions of possibility and inspiring you toward so many dreams! But with this Lunar Eclipse, the Virgo Moon and South Node also lend you the capacity to say “yes, this” and “no, that.” Virgo’s energy is naturally aligned with reality, and with the capacity to judge what’s useful now. Virgo energy inherently knows what is most likely to grow and ripen to maturity so that it can be harvested when the time is right. The Virgo Full Moon can help you choose what to plant and grow, and she will direct you to the most nourishing choices for your body, mind, and spirit. Choosing wisely means that your health and well-being will be maintained and honed to perfection – or as close to perfection as possible. Once again, Virgo functions in service to who you are.

This Total Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo is truly a cosmic reset, urging you to release what no longer serves you and align with your higher purpose. It’s a time to TRUST YOURSELF, trust the process, embrace change, and step into a new chapter with clarity and intention. Use this Virgo energy to bring your dreams and visions into tangible reality so that your creative imagination serves us all. We need you, and the world will be better for your offerings!

MEDITATING WITH THE MOON – Tuesday, January 17, 2016

 
MOON IN VIRGO THEN LIBRA
When your instincts are challenged by your reasoning powers or sense of logic, step back to get some perspective, rather than forcing anything. Be emotionally responsive and fair with others, while using your mind with integrity rather than ego.
 
WORDS FOR MEDITATION
I’m working toward emotional and intellectual equilibrium; I love the people who are important to me and am careful with their emotions.

HOW TO MEDITATE WITH THE MOON

 
Using these simple Moon thoughts are a wonderful way to begin a daily meditation practice that keeps you focused on, and grounded in, the emotional energy of the Cosmos each and every day.
 
You can do a very simple 8/4 count meditation, which means you settle into a comfortable position, close your eyes, focus on your breath, and breathe in to a slow count of 8, hold it for 4 counts, and then breathe out for a slow count of 8. Hold your breath again for 4 counts. On the in-breath recite a word or phrase from the Moon Meditation in your mind, focusing on that energy and holding it, and then consciously release that same energy out into the world on the out-breath. Then empty your mind space for 4 counts, and begin the process again on the in-breath with the next word or phrase from the Moon Meditation.

MOON IN VIRGO
Use impulsive energy to be direct and passionate rather than irritable or aggravated. Let the details inform the broad view, and remember to pay attention to both. Make the appropriate adjustments to be able to envision a better goal or a more exciting future, and get grounded in your commitments.
 
WORDS FOR MEDITATION
I am grounded in the moment and committed to the future; I own my personal responses with responsibility.

Super Quick Saturday Cosmic Weather – Astrology for June 11, 2016

I-dreamed-my-whole-house-was-clean

 

Here’s the quick shake out for your Saturday, June 11, 2016 (Eastern Time.)
(I’m having a bit of fun with this one!)

Stay in bed until about 9am because the Moon in Virgo is in opposition to Neptune in Pisces, and all we really want to do is dream and fantasize anyway. Tell yourself that it’s ok to stay in bed, because the Virgo piece of this equation might feel guilty… a nice compromise would be to lay in bed in your half sleep, analyzing and making plans. 🙂

Then get up about 10am and really get down to weekend chores quickly to use the practical, get it done energy of the Moon squaring Saturn in Sagittarius – if you don’t get down to work, then you might just feel stuck and end up procrastinating (or feeling sorry for yourself.) The Moon isn’t only squaring Saturn… it’s also opposing Neptune. So there could be a bit of a quandary about whether to get something done, or whether to wallow a bit longer. Push, pull. Push, pull. Don’t use the energy that way! Best case scenario, do a lovely meditation, or sit outside in Nature to get centered, and THEN get down to business.

As the moon moves away from the Saturn/Neptune energy, make some afternoon plans for about 2pm, because just after that Luna gets a lot happier when she connects with Jupiter… shake off the dreams of the morning and all those chores (or the wishing that you’d actually done them) and just do something that makes you feel really good. Be social… Venus is still connected to the Sun today. 

After a nice big dinner, get cozy in your hidey hole and do some deep pondering, or even some research, about what you want your future to hold. The Moon is conjuncting the North Node and making a trine to Pluto, so dig deep, tell yourself the truth, and lean into your purpose. If you think something in your immediate vicinity is holding you back… throw it away! This can be literal, emotional, or metaphorical, but when Pluto is tapping at our emotions, he likes us to purge. And ponder. And go about the business of evolving…

And if you’re sharing your evening with another, expect emotions to run deeply – and maybe even passionately.

Happy Saturday!
