March 2025 Virgo Lunar Eclipse: Secrets, Shocks, and the World-Altering Shift You Can’t Escape
March 14, 2025, will bring a Virgo Lunar Eclipse that’s not just another celestial event — it’s the kind of cosmic reckoning that could shake the foundations of your life, and the world around you. This eclipse, landing squarely on the 4th/10th axis, will force a showdown between who you are behind closed doors and who you show the world. The 4th house governs your home, family, and emotional foundation, while the 10th house reigns over career, reputation, and public life. These sectors are about to get a makeover — no hiding from the cosmic upheaval ahead.
Reality Check Like Never Before
This is no gentle cosmic nudge — it’s a full-on wake-up call. The Virgo Lunar Eclipse is here to expose hidden truths and force clarity, bringing unresolved issues into sharp focus. If there’s something you’ve been avoiding, the universe is about to drag it into the light. Secrets? They won’t stay hidden. Neptune’s influence adds an extra layer of deception, dreams, and psychic revelations, blurring the lines between reality and illusion. This eclipse doesn’t care about your comfort zone — it’s time to confront what you’ve left behind, undone, or ignored.
But hold on — this isn’t just personal.
A Global Awakening
This eclipse doesn’t just affect individuals — it’s about to blow the lid off entire systems. As it transits through the American birth chart, the Virgo Lunar Eclipse targets the nation’s identity, values, and direction. Health systems, daily routines, and the very foundations of public life are under intense cosmic scrutiny. This is a time of global reckoning. Are we still aligned with our core values? What’s broken and needs to be rebuilt?
Expect seismic shifts. Virgo’s energy isn’t about passive reflection — it’s about transformative, practical action. We’ll see disruptions in the systems that govern us, from health crises to political upheavals, as outdated structures begin to crumble. Hidden truths about power, control, and corruption will finally be exposed, and nothing will be the same after this.
The Personal-Public Divide Crumbles
The Virgo Lunar Eclipse isn’t just a planetary event; it’s a cosmic tipping point. The line between your private life and public persona? It’s about to vanish. Your family, career, and very identity will face intense scrutiny. What was once hidden behind closed doors will be revealed to the world, forcing you to examine what you truly stand for. What happens in this moment will shape your personal narrative and have ripple effects globally.
Just like past Virgo-Pisces eclipses, which have historically triggered massive societal changes — from health revolutions to collective awakenings — this eclipse promises the same intensity. If you’ve been cruising through life, avoiding the deeper issues, get ready: the time to face them head-on is now.
Brace Yourself
The shift is coming. And it won’t wait for you to catch up. The Virgo Lunar Eclipse is your wake-up call, pushing you to confront hidden truths, take decisive action, and step into a new version of yourself — one that’s aligned with the global transformation unfolding around you. The personal-public divide is crumbling, and everything — from your relationships to the world’s structures — is about to change. Whether you’re ready or not, this is your moment.

An Astrological Breakdown of this Eclipse — What does each planet want you to know…
The Sun and its Stellium
With the Sun in conjunction with Saturn, Neptune, and the North Node during this eclipse, it suggests a time of transformation and big shifts in long-term goals, structure, and spirituality. The eclipse amplifies these energies, especially with Saturn’s serious and restrictive influence. It’s a moment to re-evaluate what’s holding us back — what we need to let go of to move toward a more authentic version of ourselves.
The opposition between the Sun and Moon (in Virgo) during this total lunar eclipse adds pressure to reconcile our inner and outer worlds. The Virgo Moon urges us to focus on practical matters, routines, and health — while the Pisces Sun calls for surrendering to the flow of emotions and intuition. This creates friction, making it harder to stay grounded while trying to embrace bigger dreams.
The Moon : Eclipse + In Its Own Triplicity + South Node Activation
This total lunar eclipse is entirely centered around the Moon, making it the most powerful celestial body in this event. The Moon in Virgo is in her own triplicity — meaning it has a strong foundational dignity that enhances its ability to function effectively. This gives it stability and influence, despite the inherent volatility of an eclipse. However, the Moon’s power is being overshadowed -both literally and metaphorically- by the Earth’s shadow, signifying an emotional reset or disruption.
With the Moon in Virgo, emotions take on a practical, analytical, and discerning nature. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, which makes this an intellectually active Moon — one that seeks clarity, order, and refinement. While a typical Virgo Moon encourages emotional stability through logic and structure, an eclipsed Virgo Moon distorts this process. Additionally, Virgo’s mutable earth quality would normally suggest emotional adaptability — however, during an eclipse this can feel more like nervous instability or unease, as if emotions are shifting too fast to grasp. The natural rhythm of emotional regulation is disrupted, making it difficult to sort, compartmentalize, or process emotions in a way that feels stable.
This can manifest in a lot of different ways.
Emotional hyper-analysis : overthinking feelings instead of experiencing them.
A sense of urgency to solve problems — even those that can’t be controlled.
Heightened sensitivity to disorder ; causing frustration with inefficiencies in life.
Self-criticism — a feeling of not having done “enough” to improve situations.
Being opposed by the Sun in Pisces, there’s a tension between order and surrender — Virgo wants to analyze and fix, while Pisces dissolves and lets go. With Saturn so close to the Sun, external pressures or responsibilities may make emotional release feel heavy or restrictive. The Moon’s conjunction with the South Node deepens this, pulling up unresolved emotions, past patterns, and karmic baggage. This isn’t just about what we feel now but what we’ve been carrying for a long time. There’s a need to process and purge, but Virgo’s instinct is to overthink and control the process, which could create frustration rather than resolution.
Adding to the instability, the Moon’s trine to Uranus in Taurus suggests emotional shake-ups — sudden realizations, breakthroughs, or disruptions that force a shift in perspective. Unexpected events may act as catalysts, pushing us out of old emotional cycles whether we’re ready or not.
Despite the intensity, the Moon’s dignity in triplicity provides resilience. The emotions stirred by this eclipse, while unsettling, aren’t without purpose. This is a moment of reckoning with what’s outdated, what’s no longer working, and what needs to be released — even if Virgo’s instinct is to hold on, waiting until everything feels “perfect.” The challenge isn’t just about clearing the past but trusting that clarity will come in its own time, even if it doesn’t arrive in the form we expect.
Mercury & Venus: Confusion, Reassessment, and Subtle Grace
Mercury and Venus form a fascinating contrast during this eclipse — one struggling, the other thriving, yet somehow working together. Mercury, stationing to retrograde and under the beams of the Sun (moving into Cazimi) in Pisces, is at its absolute weakest point — clouded by uncertainty, miscommunication, and mental fog. This is a time when thoughts feel scattered, conversations take unexpected turns, and technology (or even memory) fails us. Plans may need to be revisited, and messages might be misinterpreted, requiring extra patience.
But Venus — who is exalted in Pisces in this place — and forming a benefic enclosure with Jupiter — is offering a counterbalance. While Mercury stumbles, Venus brings moments of grace, creative insight, and even emotional healing. This suggests that -even in the midst of confusion- there’s a silver lining.
Mercury’s retrograde motion urges a return to unfinished projects, past conversations, or long-lost ideas, and Venus ensures that these revisitations are not just frustrating loops, but opportunities for refinement. The eclipse amplifies this process — things that seem muddled now could, in time, prove to be necessary course corrections. The key is to lean into intuition rather than rigid logic, allowing Venus’ softening influence to guide the way.
Mars: In Fall & Involved in the Eclipse
Mars in Cancer is not at its strongest, and during this eclipse, it forms aspects with both the Sun and Moon. While it’s in fall, making it more indirect in its action, it’s also trine the Sun, which softens its usual volatility. Instead of outward aggression, Mars’ energy manifests more internally — through emotional defensiveness, protectiveness, or passive resistance.
The Moon’s sextile to Mars offers a potential outlet: emotional expression and strategic action rather than impulsive reactions. This suggests that while we may feel heightened emotional responses, there’s also an opportunity to use them productively — channeling frustration into careful, calculated movement rather than rash decisions. The eclipse amplifies these themes, bringing emotional conflicts to the surface but also offering a path toward resolution if we can navigate the tension with patience.
Jupiter: In Detriment & Eclipsed
Jupiter in Gemini is naturally inquisitive, eager to expand ideas and gather knowledge. However, in detriment and under the eclipse’s shadow, its usual confidence and optimism feel muted. The square with the Moon and South Node complicates this further — our beliefs, assumptions, or intellectual frameworks may be challenged in ways that feel unsettling. What we once took for granted might suddenly seem uncertain.
This is a time when information overload or conflicting perspectives could make it difficult to see the bigger picture. The eclipse may push us to reevaluate what we believe to be true, forcing us to integrate new perspectives while letting go of outdated mental frameworks. While this might feel destabilizing, it also presents an opportunity for intellectual growth — Jupiter in Gemini thrives on curiosity, and this eclipse asks us to stay open to shifts in our worldview.
Saturn: Cazimi & Opposing the Eclipse
Saturn’s cazimi with the Sun gives it immense power, making its influence one of the most significant forces in this eclipse. In Pisces, this isn’t the rigid, structured Saturn we’re used to — it’s dissolving boundaries rather than enforcing them, testing our ability to navigate uncertainty.
With the Moon in Virgo opposing Saturn, we may feel torn between wanting clarity and having to confront ambiguity. Saturn’s presence here forces a reckoning : where have we been avoiding responsibility? Where have we built illusions instead of solid foundations? This eclipse highlights these questions, pushing us to take accountability — particularly in areas related to emotional discipline, long-term commitments, and spiritual or creative pursuits.
This cazimi moment acts like a cosmic reset — making this a pivotal time for reassessing long-term structures in our lives. If we’ve been resisting necessary endings or changes, the eclipse may make them impossible to ignore.
Uranus: In Fall + Square to the Eclipse Axis
Uranus is in its fall in Taurus, which can make its rebellious, innovative energy feel a bit out of sync with the grounded, earthy nature of the sign. The square to both the Sun and Moon during the eclipse suggests sudden disruptions or breakthroughs in areas that need to change. Expect the unexpected — this eclipse may push us to rebel against old systems or confront the status quo, especially in areas related to finances, resources, and stability.
Neptune: Combust & Domicile
Neptune in Pisces is already nebulous and elusive, but being combust (overwhelmed by the Sun’s light) makes it even harder to grasp. It’s present but obscured, creating an environment where intuition, dreams, and illusions blur together. What feels real may not be, and what seems unclear may later prove significant.
With the Sun-Moon opposition in play, this eclipse magnifies Neptune’s ability to distort perception — we may find ourselves questioning what we know, second-guessing our emotions, or feeling as though we’re walking through a dream. Spiritual insights may emerge, but they might not make sense until later. This is a time to be mindful of deception — both from external sources and within our own minds. The key is to observe rather than act immediately, allowing the haze to settle before drawing conclusions.
Pluto: Aversion to the Eclipse & In the House of the Moon
Pluto may not be directly tied into the eclipse, but that doesn’t mean its influence isn’t at play. Sitting in the 3rd house — the Moon’s domain, the house of thoughts, speech, and information — Pluto is subtly reshaping how we process and communicate our experiences.
This eclipse may trigger hidden power struggles within conversations, revealing deeper truths that have been lurking beneath the surface. While its aversion means the transformation isn’t sudden or obvious, Pluto is working in the background, ensuring that the shifts in perspective happening now will have long-term consequences. Ideas planted during this time may not immediately take root, but over time, they’ll shape the way we think and express ourselves in profound ways.
The effects for each sign…
For the most accurate reading, most astrologers recommend focusing on your Rising sign. However, I also suggest considering all three of your big placements — your Sun, Moon, and Rising — since each one impacts different aspects of your life. The influence of each can vary in strength, topic, and how it affects you — whether it’s shaping your subconscious and beliefs (Moon), influencing your ego and sense of self (Sun), or guiding the way you project yourself to the world (Rising).*
♈ Aries Rising → Virgo 6H
This eclipse activates your 6th house of work, health, and daily routines, demanding a major shift in how you manage your daily responsibilities. If you’ve been stuck in unhealthy habits — whether overworking, neglecting your health, or struggling with boundaries in your work-life balance — this eclipse is likely to expose the consequences. With Aries as your rising sign, Mars is ruling your chart — and currently in its fall in Cancer. Because of this you might feel a sense of emotional frustration — like you want to take action but can’t quite find the right direction. Be mindful of burnout, as the combination of Mars’ fall and the eclipse energy could push you to your limits. Saturn’s cazimi in Pisces reinforces the theme of restructuring, especially in areas related to mental and emotional well-being. You may need to set firmer boundaries at work, commit to healthier routines, or finally address lingering health issues.
Since this eclipse falls on the 6th/12th axis, the changes you experience in your external world (work, health, obligations) will also tie into your inner world (subconscious patterns, spiritual well-being, and hidden fears). Neptune combust in your 12th house can bring a sense of confusion, making it harder to distinguish between stress caused by external pressures and deeper emotional exhaustion. If you’ve been ignoring emotional or mental burnout, this eclipse may force you to slow down and reflect. Pay attention to your intuition — subtle messages from your subconscious may reveal what needs to change, especially regarding work-life balance, self-care, and personal healing.
Meanwhile, Pluto in your 11th house of friendships, networks, and future aspirations suggests that your social circles and long-term goals are undergoing deep transformation. Power struggles in friendships or shifting alliances within professional networks could play a role in how this eclipse impacts your work and routines. Are the people you surround yourself with supporting your growth, or are they contributing to unhealthy patterns? This eclipse may push you to reevaluate who you rely on and whether your long-term aspirations align with your current daily habits. The people you work with, collaborate with, or seek validation from could play a pivotal role in how you navigate this turning point. Ultimately, this eclipse is about redefining your daily structure so that it truly supports your future ambitions — without sacrificing your well-being in the process.
♉ Taurus Rising → Virgo 5H
This eclipse hits your 5th house of creativity, romance, pleasure, and self-expression, demanding a serious reality check in how you seek joy and fulfillment. If you’ve been going through the motions — whether in love, passion projects, or even your sense of fun — this eclipse will make it impossible to ignore what’s no longer working. Something in your creative or romantic life is due for a transformation, and you may need to let go of old habits or illusions about what truly makes you happy. With the Moon in Virgo, this isn’t about chasing fleeting pleasure — it’s about refining what actually feels fulfilling and sustainable. Are you prioritizing what brings you genuine joy, or just doing what’s comfortable? If you’ve been procrastinating on creative work or settling for shallow connections, the eclipse will force you to confront where you’ve been holding back.
Since this is a 5th/11th house eclipse, whatever shifts in your personal world will have direct consequences on your larger aspirations and social circles. The 11th house governs friendships, community, and long-term dreams — so if your personal passions and romantic life are evolving, your social world might need to shift to match that growth. You may realize that certain friendships no longer align with your deeper desires, or that your creative work is pulling you in a direction that requires a new audience or support system. If you’ve been neglecting your artistic voice, this eclipse may push you toward people who truly support your vision, while exposing superficial connections that were never built to last.
With Venus, your chart ruler, in Aries, there’s an urgency to reclaim your desires and creative spark, but with Mercury retrograde in the mix, clarity won’t come instantly. Be patient as you redefine what fulfillment actually means. Meanwhile, Pluto in your 10th house of career and public reputation suggests that your creative shifts are not just personal — they’re influencing your entire life direction. Whether you’re stepping into a more authentic path, facing major shifts in professional recognition, or redefining success on your own terms, this eclipse is tied to deep transformations in how you are seen by the world. If you’ve been pouring energy into something that no longer aligns with your evolving identity, expect this eclipse to push you toward a future that truly reflects your passions and purpose.
♊ Gemini Rising → Virgo 4H
This eclipse lands in your 4th house of home, family, and emotional foundations — shaking up your sense of security and belonging. Whether this manifests as literal changes in your home life — such as a move, family upheaval, or shifts in your living situation — or a deeper emotional reckoning with your past, this eclipse is hitting you at your core. If you’ve been avoiding certain family issues, suppressing childhood wounds, or neglecting your emotional needs in favor of external success, expect those cracks to be fully exposed. Something about the way you define “home” and “stability” is no longer sustainable, and this eclipse will demand a serious realignment. The Moon in Virgo brings a sharp, analytical edge to these revelations — this isn’t just about feeling things, it’s about understanding them in practical, tangible ways.
Since this is a 4th/10th house eclipse, whatever shifts in your personal and emotional world will directly impact your career, public image, and long-term ambitions. The 10th house is where we build our reputation, legacy, and professional standing, and with the Sun in Pisces activating this area, your career trajectory is shifting as a direct result of what’s happening behind the scenes. You may be stepping into a new professional role, redefining your ambitions, or realizing that past conditioning has influenced your career choices more than you thought. Are you pursuing a path that aligns with your true emotional needs, or have you been following expectations set by family or society? This eclipse could bring unexpected career shifts, a new public role, or a confrontation with how your past has shaped your professional life.
With Mercury retrograde in Aries, these realizations won’t be entirely clear at first — you may feel torn between holding onto familiar structures and taking bold steps forward. Meanwhile, Pluto in your 9th house of belief systems, education, and long-term vision suggests that these shifts aren’t just logistical, they’re deeply philosophical. You’re not just changing where you live or how you relate to family ; you’re transforming the way you view your entire future. If you’ve outgrown certain belief systems, cultural traditions, or ways of thinking that were ingrained in you, this eclipse will dismantle outdated perspectives and push you toward a new vision of what’s possible. This is a rebirth of your foundation, both emotionally and professionally — be ready to let go of what no longer supports the person you’re becoming.
♋ Cancer Rising → Virgo 3H
This eclipse hits your 3rd house of communication, learning, and immediate environment, forcing a reckoning with how you think, speak, and connect with the world around you. The way you process and express information is shifting — whether that means rethinking your beliefs, breaking old mental patterns, or even changing the way you communicate with those closest to you. If you’ve been holding back your voice, expect this eclipse to push you into situations where you can’t stay silent anymore. Conversations you never expected to have may arise, revealing truths that alter your perspective entirely. This could also bring unexpected changes involving siblings, extended family, or close friendships — misunderstandings may surface, or long-buried tensions could reach a breaking point. Be mindful of miscommunications, contracts, or sudden shifts in plans, as Mercury retrograde in Aries could stir up confusion and impulsive decisions.
Because this is a 3rd/9th house eclipse, what happens in your immediate environment will ripple out into the bigger picture of your life, shaping your long-term direction, beliefs, and ambitions. The 9th house rules expansion — whether through travel, higher education, or philosophical shifts — and with the Sun in Pisces illuminating this area, you’re being pushed to see beyond your current mindset. Something you once believed to be true -whether it’s a personal philosophy, a career path, or even a worldview- is no longer sustainable. You may be confronted with new information that forces you to reconsider your future goals or the way you present yourself publicly. If you’re in school, publishing, or any field that requires public messaging — expect major disruptions or breakthroughs in those areas.
Meanwhile, Pluto in your 8th house of transformation, power, and hidden truths suggests that these shifts aren’t just intellectual — they’re deeply psychological. The way you process knowledge, speak your truth, and navigate information is directly tied to deeper fears, control dynamics, and past wounds. If there are buried secrets, emotional debts, or psychological patterns that have been shaping your perspective, they may surface now in ways you can no longer ignore. This could be a massive turning point in how you think and communicate — not just with others, but with yourself. The more willing you are to release outdated mental scripts and embrace uncomfortable but necessary conversations, the more empowered you’ll be in shaping your future. Expect unexpected news, revelations, and a total rewiring of the way you engage with the world.
♌ Leo Rising → Virgo 2H
This eclipse falls in your 2nd house of money, self-worth, and personal values, bringing a powerful reality check to how you approach your finances and material resources. Expect a deep and possibly uncomfortable assessment of your financial situation — are your earnings and spending habits aligned with what truly matters to you? You might be forced to face the truth about your money mindset, or even confront some harsh realities about your career trajectory. If you’ve been avoiding financial planning or ignoring how your job or career impacts your sense of security, this eclipse will bring that to the forefront.
With the eclipse also activating the 2nd/8th house axis, this is about more than just personal income — this is a wake-up call about your values and how they connect to deeper emotional and relational dynamics. The 8th house governs shared resources, debts, inheritances, and the things that tie you to others at a more intimate level. You may find that your family history, your upbringing, or emotional patterns passed down through generations are influencing how you handle money and personal worth. There may be an emotional or psychological component to how you approach your finances, and this eclipse could illuminate hidden truths or secrets about your financial past — perhaps from your family, your career, or even your own subconscious.
This eclipse could shake the foundations of your security, forcing you to reevaluate your work-life balance, your professional trajectory, and how your resources reflect your true self. If you’ve been living in denial about any aspects of your financial situation -whether it’s bad habits, irresponsible spending, or failure to acknowledge your worth in the workplace- now is the time to face it head-on. You may be called to make bold decisions about your career, investments, or even your self-esteem, especially as you realize that the security you seek can only come through realigning your actions with your values. Secrets may come to light that challenge the way you’ve seen yourself or your career, and you may need to make some tough choices about what to prioritize moving forward.
Meanwhile, Pluto in your 7th house of relationships and partnerships signals that these financial shifts are directly tied to how you relate to others, whether in romantic partnerships, business alliances, or close friendships. Power dynamics, control issues, or hidden agendas in your relationships may surface, challenging the way you connect and share resources. This is not just a material shift — it’s an emotional and psychological one too. As you reassess what really matters to you, you may find yourself letting go of outdated beliefs about money, worth, and partnerships that no longer serve your highest good. Your understanding of your own value, both personally and professionally, is undergoing a deep transformation, and you may be forced to break free from past limitations in order to step into a more empowered version of yourself.
♍ Virgo Rising → Virgo 1H
This eclipse hits your 1st house of identity, personal goals, and how you present yourself to the world, marking a pivotal moment in your life where you’re confronted with a deep transformation of who you are and how you want to be seen. Your literal sense of self is undergoing a massive shift — what once defined you, whether it’s your career, relationships, or old personal goals, is being reevaluated and possibly shed entirely. The version of yourself that’s been tied to past beliefs, routines, or societal expectations may no longer feel authentic, and this eclipse is pushing you to release that old identity in order to make room for a more empowered and aligned version of yourself.
With the eclipse activating the 1st/7th house axis, you’re forced to reckon with how your sense of self and personal goals align -or conflict- with your relationships and partnerships. This energy highlights the balance between who you are as an individual and how you show up for others. Are your relationships reflecting the real you, or are you compromising yourself to meet the expectations of others? There’s a strong chance that the way you relate to people — whether in romantic, business, or close personal relationships — could be shifting dramatically. You may feel the need to redefine your approach to partnerships, setting new boundaries, or even rethinking what it is you want from the people you share your life with.
Pluto in your 6th house of daily routines, health, and work adds another layer of transformation, as your relationships might now be intertwined with how you manage your daily responsibilities. The habits you’ve built in both your personal and professional life could be getting a massive overhaul. If you’ve been neglecting yourself or allowing unhealthy patterns in your partnerships, this eclipse will force you to confront them head-on. You might find that your career, routines, and work-life balance are being reshaped in response to the evolving dynamics in your most important relationships. There could be deep revelations about what needs to change in your life, both inside and outside of your personal relationships, and this eclipse is pushing you to embrace that transformation.
♎ Libra Rising → Virgo 12H
This eclipse activates your 12th house of the subconscious, hidden fears, and spiritual awakening, bringing deeply buried truths to the surface. You’ll feel this one in your soul — hidden patterns and emotional wounds that have been festering in the background are now making themselves known. It’s like the universe is asking you to face what’s been lurking in the shadows, the stuff you’ve been avoiding or repressing. While these revelations might feel intense or even overwhelming, they hold the key to your next chapter. Whether it’s old fears, self-doubt, or hidden trauma, the eclipse pushes you to confront these shadows head-on, releasing what no longer serves you. Prepare for moments of deep introspection, spiritual growth, or even an intuitive breakthrough that clarifies what you’ve been missing for so long.
Since this eclipse falls on the 6th/12th axis, what happens behind the scenes in your inner world is sure to have a direct impact on your external reality — especially your work, daily routines, and physical health. The 6th house governs your day-to-day life, habits, and health, so any shifts in your subconscious or spiritual practices will inevitably affect how you move through your daily life. If you’ve been neglecting your mental or emotional health, this eclipse could feel like a wake-up call to take better care of your mind and body. Hidden stress, anxiety, or unaddressed emotions could be manifesting as physical symptoms or disrupting your routine. The key here is to be aware of your intuition and how your inner world is subtly influencing your outer reality. This may be the perfect time to detox from toxic habits or environments that are keeping you stuck.
Meanwhile, Pluto in your 5th house of creativity, passion, and personal joy signals a deep transformation in the way you express yourself and what brings you pleasure. This eclipse isn’t just about confronting your subconscious ; it’s about recalibrating your entire creative energy and how you show up in the world. The themes of self-worth and personal expression could be shifting dramatically, as Pluto is asking you to release old patterns tied to your creative potential or love life. Expect profound revelations about your career ambitions that could completely reshape how you approach your goals. What you once thought was aligned with your true purpose might no longer be the path for you, and this eclipse will push you to evolve into a more authentic version of yourself. Career shifts, new opportunities, or a complete realignment of your ambitions are on the horizon — but it’s all about letting go of the old to make room for the new.
♏ Scorpio Rising → Virgo 11H
This eclipse hits your 11th house of friendships, social networks, and future aspirations, urging a deep reevaluation of who you surround yourself with and whether they align with your evolving goals. As you continue to grow and transform, you may find that certain friendships, social circles, or even group affiliations no longer serve your higher purpose. This is the time to ask yourself : are the people around you supporting your dreams and encouraging your growth, or are they holding you back? The 11th house is about connections that propel you forward, so if some of these relationships feel out of alignment, it could be time for a change. Unexpected shifts could arise in your social life, and some alliances may break apart while others may evolve into something new and more aligned with your future aspirations. If you’ve been relying on external validation from others, this eclipse could challenge you to find your inner confidence and reaffirm your own path, regardless of outside opinions.
Simultaneously, the eclipse impacts your 5th house of creativity, self-expression, romance, and personal joy. The changes in your social sphere will inevitably influence your approach to personal passions and how you express yourself authentically. You might feel pushed to shed old layers of who you thought you were in love, creativity, or pleasure, as the universe compels you to reconnect with your inner child and rediscover what truly sparks joy in your life. Your creative pursuits -whether art, romance, or hobbies- are about to go through a deep transformation. Perhaps you’ve been neglecting your passions or holding back in relationships, and now you’ll be pushed to reclaim that space for yourself. This eclipse encourages you to step into your creative power, express your desires without hesitation, and be unapologetically yourself. It’s time to shed outdated beliefs about love, creativity, and fun, and embrace a new, more expansive approach.
With Pluto in your 4th house of home and family, there’s a deep undercurrent of transformation in your emotional foundation. Family dynamics or unresolved emotional patterns could play a pivotal role in shaping how you approach your creativity and social life. Old family issues, subconscious fears, or hidden truths may surface now, forcing you to confront them in ways that could impact your relationships and long-term goals. This transformation could shake the very foundation of who you are and how you present yourself in the world, especially in regard to your passions and romantic life. Pay attention to how changes in your home life or emotional foundation reflect back on your creative projects and social connections.
♐ Sagittarius Rising → Virgo 10H
This eclipse falls in your 10th house of career, public life, and long-term aspirations, signaling a major shift in your professional trajectory. Whether you’ve been planning for this change or it happens suddenly, expect your career to undergo a transformation that forces you to step up to a new level of responsibility and visibility. This is your moment to level up — if you’ve been playing small or feeling stuck in your professional path, this eclipse will make sure you’re pushed to reach for more. The work you’ve been doing, your reputation, and your public persona are all under a cosmic microscope. You may find yourself in the spotlight or having to make hard decisions about your career direction. If you’ve been avoiding a necessary change, the universe could bring it to you whether you’re ready or not. Be prepared for a wave of ambition to rise within you, demanding that you make your mark in the world and live up to your fullest potential.
This eclipse is also activating your 4th house of home, family, and emotional foundation, bringing long-buried family secrets or unresolved issues into the light. What’s been hidden beneath the surface, whether in your personal life or your family dynamics, may now rise to the forefront, forcing you to confront deep truths about your roots. These revelations could have a profound impact on your public life and career, as your emotional foundation will no longer stay hidden in the shadows. It might be time to reconcile conflicting parts of yourself — your career ambitions and the needs of your family or home life. This is a moment for integrating the parts of your personal history that have been holding you back, whether it’s unresolved family drama, childhood experiences, or emotional baggage. The changes in your family dynamic or home life could inspire shifts in your public image or push you toward a new professional direction that aligns more closely with your true values.
With Pluto in your 3rd house of communication, learning, and your immediate environment, expect intense transformations in the way you express yourself and communicate. The truth about your family or past may come through in unexpected ways, prompting you to rethink how you communicate and present yourself to the world. This eclipse could bring a revelation in how your emotional foundation influences your career and public image. As you confront the hidden truths about your family, you may be forced to reshape your career identity and public persona to reflect these new insights. The eclipse is not just about external career changes but about how you communicate and share your personal truth in the world. Embrace the opportunity for profound self-discovery and to step into a more authentic expression of who you are.
♑ Capricorn Rising → Virgo 9H
This eclipse falls in your 9th house of higher learning, travel, and personal beliefs, pushing you to reconsider the big picture of your life. You may find that your worldview, educational pursuits, or travel plans are being challenged by new insights or unexpected circumstances. This is a time when your long-held beliefs could be upended, forcing you to question what you thought you knew. If you’ve been set in your ways regarding your personal philosophies or the direction you want to take in life, this eclipse will shake things up — pushing you to expand your perspective. You may feel the need to learn something new, seek out different experiences, or step outside of your comfort zone to gain a broader understanding of the world. If travel plans are on the horizon, they could be delayed or altered in ways you didn’t anticipate. In any case, expect your sense of adventure and your ideas about the future to undergo a transformation.
At the same time, this eclipse is activating your 3rd house of communication, siblings, and immediate environment, which means these changes in your personal beliefs and worldview will likely be reflected in how you communicate and connect with others on a day-to-day basis. You may find that what you once thought was true no longer resonates with you, prompting you to express yourself differently or make adjustments to how you interact with your immediate circle. Conversations you have now could lead to profound realizations about what you value or the direction you want to go in life. This is a time to break free from old mental patterns and embrace new ways of thinking, learning, and communicating. Be mindful of misunderstandings or impulsive decisions when it comes to what you say, as the energy of Mercury retrograde in Aries may stir up confusion or lead to miscommunications.
Meanwhile, Pluto in your 2nd house of values, self-worth, and material resources suggests that these shifts in your beliefs and communication style could also have a profound effect on your financial situation and how you view your own worth. If your career or public life has been tied to outdated beliefs or values, this eclipse could force you to let go of old patterns that no longer serve you. Your sense of security -whether it’s financial, emotional, or personal- may be tied to your family background or past experiences, and now it’s time to confront those deeper roots. The changes happening in your career and personal beliefs may also lead you to reconsider what truly matters to you and what you’re willing to invest in for the future. Be open to recalibrating your goals to align more closely with your evolving sense of self-worth.
♒ Aquarius Rising → Virgo 8H
This eclipse hits your 8th house of intimacy, shared resources, and deep transformation, pushing you to confront major shifts in how you connect with others on a soul-deep level. Whether it’s emotional intimacy in your personal relationships or the merging of finances and resources, this eclipse forces a reevaluation of the balance you’ve struck in these areas. You may be faced with power struggles, hidden emotions, or long-buried psychological patterns that need to be acknowledged and transformed. If you’ve been avoiding deeper connections or holding onto past wounds, this is the cosmic moment to release them. This eclipse could bring intense, cathartic moments that leave you feeling more empowered in your personal and financial life. The shift is about aligning your inner world with your outer world, forcing you to let go of what no longer serves you, whether that’s old emotional baggage or financial arrangements that have been holding you back.
At the same time, the eclipse is activating your 2nd house of personal values, self-worth, and material resources. There’s a direct link between how you view your sense of value and how you show up in your relationships, career, and financial life. You may be forced to rethink your work-life balance, questioning whether your current career or financial situation aligns with your emotional needs and values. Are you truly living in accordance with what you feel is important? If not, this eclipse could bring about the necessary shake-up to help you get there. Whether it’s changing how you earn your money, rethinking your investments, or aligning your career with what feels authentic, this eclipse encourages you to let go of outdated financial or career structures that don’t serve your emotional well-being.
Meanwhile, Pluto in your 1st house of self-identity, appearance, and personal growth suggests that these changes are closely tied to a major transformation in how you see and present yourself to the world. Pluto’s energy here can bring deep and often dramatic shifts in your personality, appearance, and how you approach new beginnings. You may find that the eclipse forces you to let go of old aspects of your identity that no longer align with your true, evolving self. This could feel like a deep, powerful shedding process, where you realize that in order to truly transform your relationships and finances, you must first redefine yourself. It’s time to embrace your power, confront any fears about who you are, and step into a version of yourself that is more aligned with your soul’s true purpose. Expect a period of personal rebirth and empowerment, as this eclipse pushes you to transform both internally and externally.
♓ Pisces Rising → Virgo 7H
This eclipse activates your 7th house of relationships — romantic, business, and personal — and you’re about to experience a major shift in how you interact and connect with others. Partnerships, whether personal or professional, will face a dramatic turning point. You may be called to reevaluate your relationships, confronting old patterns or uncovering hidden dynamics that have been holding you back. If there are any unresolved issues or imbalances, expect them to come to the surface. This is your chance to redefine what you need from others and what you’re willing to give in return. Whether you’re strengthening bonds or letting go of connections that no longer align with your growth, this eclipse will challenge you to take a deep, honest look at the way you relate and communicate with those closest to you.
At the same time, this eclipse is activating your 1st house, the house of self, identity, and how you present yourself to the world. This is a major moment for transformation in how you view yourself and how others perceive you. You’re being pushed to let go of any outdated versions of who you are and step into a new chapter of personal empowerment. This could manifest as a change in appearance, attitude, or even a complete redefinition of your life path. The eclipse forces you to question the alignment of your personal identity with the relationships and roles you’re playing in the world. Are they in sync? Or do you need to break free from something that no longer serves your true self?
Meanwhile, Pluto in your 12th house of the subconscious, hidden fears, and spirituality suggests that this transformation isn’t just on the surface — it’s deep, psychological, and internal. Pluto’s influence brings to light buried emotions, hidden truths, and unresolved patterns from your past that have been shaping your identity and relationships. You may find that old fears or subconscious beliefs are holding you back from fully embracing your true self in your relationships. This eclipse invites you to confront those fears, purge them, and step into a more authentic version of yourself. This is a deep, transformative time when your inner world will directly impact the way you show up in your relationships. Pay attention to any subtle insights or dreams that reveal what needs to change for you to fully align your outer self with your inner truth.
The Unveiling of Hidden Agendas: The Eclipse as a Catalyst for Change
As we approach this Virgo eclipse, it brings with it an undeniable potential to expose hidden power structures and secrets that have long been kept behind the veil. Virgo, the sign of organization, health, and efficiency, governs systems — whether it’s the systems within governments, corporations, or even your own personal life. This eclipse, especially with the Neptune influence, may shine a light on previously unseen agendas, most notably within the realms of technology, digital spaces, and global power structures. Hidden truths — long buried under layers of misinformation — may emerge, revealing the shadowy operations of those in control. But perhaps the most insidious truth of all is the possibility that this eclipse will reveal not only the truths of these organizations but also the ways in which the powers that be have manipulated us for years, using eclipses and other cosmic phenomena as tools to align with and maintain control over global cycles.
In the digital age, Neptune’s veil falls over our understanding of reality, and Mercury combust in Aries hints at glitches, hacking, and an increased prevalence of misinformation campaigns. Could the digital space -the very platform where much of our collective information and connection happens- be a playground for manipulation? The role of technology, AI, and communication will undoubtedly be at the forefront of the revelations to come. It’s as if we’re entering a time where the system itself begins to unravel, where the threads of our digital lives may begin to come apart, and truth will be forced to reveal itself in ways we can no longer ignore.
As we explore past Virgo Lunar eclipses across different years — especially those occurring on March 13th at the 23rd degree like this one — the connections to this moment in time are both striking and undeniable. Each and every eclipse -whether it was in 1960, 1979, 1998, or 2006- mirrors moments of global shifts, marking times of intense transformation and societal restructuring. The Virgo eclipses of the past have shown us pivotal moments : the civil rights movement in the 1960s, the economic challenges of the late 1970s, the rise of the digital age in the 1990s, and the early signs of the financial collapse in the mid-2000s. These are all periods in history where systemic change was not just on the horizon — it was happening in real-time, shaped by the forces of power, economics, and technology — just like it is again now.
This current eclipse, however, feels different. It feels like a culmination of the cycles before it — a moment of reckoning. The Virgo eclipse on March 13, 2025, could bring to light truths hidden within systems of health, technology, and governance. We find ourselves in the midst of a new technological age, with AI and digital spaces growing rapidly, yet also raising profound concerns about privacy, data manipulation, and the stability of global systems. As these revelations start to surface, expect to see major exposures about leaders — not just political ones but also media moguls, corporate giants, and even celebrities who have played a role in manipulating the public for personal gain.

The American Birth Chart, (created by astrologer Ebenezer Sibly,) places Sagittarius as the rising sign of the United States. This eclipse falls on the 4th/10th axis of that chart, highlighting the tension between home life (4th house) and career/public life (10th house) of the USA. This alignment suggests a crisis of authority, as structures that hold society together — our homes, leadership, and institutions — are at a crossroads. The 4th house represents the foundation of society, while the 10th house governs power and public life. With the Moon in the 3rd house of communication and Mars in the 7th house of partnerships in the Sibly chart, emotional tensions and conflicts with others will come to the forefront, pushing both leaders and the public to confront deep-seated issues. This eclipse is likely to challenge those in power, both in government and other influential sectors. It’s a pivotal moment where the public will demand accountability, and leaders will face the consequences of their actions -or inactions- either stepping up or falling from grace. The tension between personal and professional spheres is creating a major shift in the systems we rely on, urging us to confront the cracks in authority.
It’s as though this eclipse is preparing us for a shift in global governance — a moment to realign systems that have long been in place but have now shown their weaknesses. Will this be a time when we, as a society, wake up to the deep flaws in the structures we’ve been relying on? …or will we allow the powers that be to manipulate the narrative and sweep the hidden truths back under the rug?
The past has shown us that eclipses often serve as cosmic “checkpoints,” urging us to confront unresolved issues. In 1960, for example, the Virgo lunar eclipse coincided with the rise of the civil rights movement, a time of great social upheaval and technological advancements. Could this current eclipse be pointing us toward another restructuring of societal norms, particularly in the areas of healthcare, global systems, and digital governance? The intersection of these elements seems impossible to ignore, especially when we consider that the rise of AI and the restructuring of our global systems are the key issues of the present day.
Strauss and Howe’s Fourth Turning Theory
The generational upheavals tied to these eclipse cycles cannot be overstated. Strauss and Howe’s Fourth Turning theory suggests that history moves in cycles, each one culminating in a “crisis” period. If we look at the past eclipses, they reflect major moments of transition — each one corresponding to significant global events, from civil rights movements to economic restructuring, all the way to the early signs of digital interconnectedness and the subsequent tech boom. These cyclical shifts point to an ongoing process of societal evolution. Could we be nearing another “Fourth Turning,” where the old systems break down, and we are forced to create something new? The upcoming Virgo eclipse, then, feels like a tipping point ; perhaps a final confrontation with the systems that have held us back for so long.
Based on the Strauss-Howe generational theory (-and a bit of Math, using their starting point as the Revolutionary War as the First Turning, and calculating through today-) we are likely in the Third Turning (The Unraveling) phase, characterized by societal fragmentation and a loss of faith in institutions. This phase is marked by growing individualism, with collective action and societal cohesion breaking down. Trust in established systems, whether political, economic, or social, is eroding. We’re seeing this play out in the increasing polarization in politics, the decline of traditional media, and the rise of alternative narratives. As institutions begin to falter, people are increasingly questioning the systems that once held society together.
However, there’s also an argument to be made that we’re teetering on the edge of the Fourth Turning (The Crisis), which signifies a time of upheaval that will force society to reconstruct and redefine itself. The social, economic, and political tensions we’re witnessing could be a precursor to the major breakdowns and shifts that define the Fourth Turning. We’re in a kind of pre-crisis mode right now, where the systems are starting to unravel, but the larger, more catastrophic events that force a societal reset have yet to unfold. It’s a moment of rising tension — if things continue along the same path, the full force of the crisis may be unavoidable.
In essence, while we are in a state of crisis right now, it’s more of a crisis of prevention. Society is grappling with the impending disaster, trying to avert what could be a much larger crisis if the unraveling continues unchecked. This tension between the Third and Fourth Turnings creates a moment of uncertainty, as we’re in the process of either avoiding or falling into a major transformative event.

This eclipse is more than just an astrological event — it’s a catalyst, a pivotal moment in history. As we reflect on the patterns from the past, it’s clear that March 13th will once again prove to be a day of reckoning. Whether it’s the exposure of corruption within institutions or the revelation of hidden agendas, the truth will no longer be able to hide in the shadows. This is not just about uncovering secrets — it’s about the power to confront them and transform the systems that no longer serve us. As we face this cosmic shift, we must be ready to question, to confront, and, ultimately, to rebuild.
