March 13 – 14th Total Lunar Eclipse Moon 23’ Virgo/ Sun 23’ Pisces
This Eclipse is significant for individuals with angles, planets, and sensitive points in the mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces between the degrees of 19’-29’.
Saros Series 123
Balance the practicality of the Virgo Moon with the Ethereal Creativity of the Sun in Pisces. Balance the knowable, which we observe with our senses, with the unknowable chaos of our unconscious. The last time we experienced a Saros Series 123 was on March 3, 2007.
What to Know about Eclipses
There are two types of eclipses involving our Sun and Moon. A Solar Eclipse happens when the Moon’s shadow crosses the Earth’s surface. This occurs during a New Moon, and the Sun and the Moon are astrologically in the same sign. The Lunar Eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth’s shadow, this happens during a Full Moon.
Eclipses are tracked, and each eclipse belongs to a Saros cycle. A Saros period is almost 19 years ( 18 years and 9 to 11 days, depending on leap years), after which the Sun, Moon, and Earth return to approximately the same position, causing a nearly identical eclipse.
Eclipses are closely associated with world events but can be significant to individuals if the eclipse occurs at a degree that is exact or near to a planet or angle in your Natal, Solar, or Progressed charts. (Consult your Astrologer) When eclipse degrees become activated in your chart, the effects last from six months to a year, depending on the strength and duration of the eclipse.
Full Moons, in general, and Lunar eclipses, in particular, help illuminate issues that lie hidden beneath the surface. Lunar eclipses can reveal emotional truths about our lives, feelings, and needs. Whatever comes to light should be examined. The information revealed typically aligns with the polarity of the astrological signs where the eclipse occurs. If the Lunar eclipse makes significant contact with your Natal, Solar, or Progressed charts, it is crucial to take time to process the revelation. A Solar eclipse offers us a glimpse into the spiritual power of our inner life star; we can experience a significant turning point when a Solar eclipse connects with our Natal, Solar, or Progressed charts. Eclipses occur in pairs, and we will experience a partial Solar eclipse later this month.
The Astrology of March 13 – 14 Total Lunar Eclipse
The first eclipse of 2025 finds the Sun in sensitive Pisces, in tight conjunction with stern, disciplinarian Saturn approaching the North Node and Neptune in the last degrees of Pisces. They are all opposite the Moon in sensible and pragmatic Virgo. Luckily, wild card Uranus will make nice aspects to both the Sun and the Moon, offering unexpected opportunities in the realm of Taurus. Make sensible investments with your time, money, and resources.
The lunar eclipse’s Virgo/ Pisces polarity encourages us to review how we balance Virgo’s day-to-day routines with Pisces’s emotional health and well-being. Do we need to reorganize our priorities between work and health, reality and dreams, service and faith?
To know if this eclipse will be significant for you, check your chart for the houses, planets, or angles ruled by Virgo and Pisces. Look to see if any mutable signs are at 19’ to 29’ degrees of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces.
