Your Full Moon in Virgo Moonscope – March 14, 2025 Eclipse Edition

The full Moon in Virgo is known as the Worm Moon. The time in the Northern Hemisphere when spring stirs, new life emerges and we end our winter hibernation. Especially if hibernating has involved cocooning on the couch and spending less time being active during the colder weather. Virgo is the sign of work, health and wellbeing. Our habits and routines. Our day job (which includes the full time occupation of being alive in a physical body!).

This is the last full Moon before the Spring Equinox – when the Sun enters Aries (20^th), and day and night are in equal balance. So, our attention now needs to be focussed on our work/life balance. And this includes working to ensure our bodies are well maintained and cared for. Because it is via them that we experience all that life has to offer.

This full Moon brings with it a total lunar eclipse. We know eclipses always conceal. And total eclipses mean we are completely in the dark about something. There’s no need to panic with an eclipse. What we don’t yet know or can’t yet see can be positive and life-enhancing. In Virgo it may even be a small detail that’s escaped us. Because Virgo rules the small stuff. And has the philosophy that it’s all small stuff. But Virgo devotion to detail means that there’s an inherent wisdom which says that small changes can make a big difference. This eclipse has the power to show you where a minor adjustment or a missing piece of the wonderful puzzle that is you, can enhance so many other areas of your life. Discover the ripple effect under this eclipse.

ARIES

In your 6^th house this is totally about the effects of what you do, don’t do; what you work at, surround yourself with, consume (including those thoughts and ideas!), and the effect these have on your Holy Trinity of Wellbeing – mind, body, spirit.

We’re a week away from your birthday cycle. And at the end of the month, a brand new era of being commences when Neptune brings a sea change into your life. You’re feeling your usual headstrong self and in search of breakthroughs now ruler Mars is direct again. So, this eclipse can bring your focus down to where these can be made. Especially when it comes to the basics – what works and what doesn’t. There’s a need for focus and refinement. But hold off on implementation. You need to

rest-away in the lead up to and just after the eclipse to ensure that you gain clarity, Aries. So allow at least a day either side of the eclipse. That’s your minimum. Especially when it comes to implementing changes around your day job (paid or unpaid), studies and those habits.

The eclipse opposes Saturn in your 12^th which says this is something that has been going on for a while. You may not even be aware of the profound effect it may have been having. The word ‘erosion’ springs to mind. The word evokes images of coastal erosion – apt for Pisces. That beach head of yours slowly being eaten away by high tides of demands. Time to shore it up, Aries. The breakthrough for you will be joining the dots between what you have been doing for a while – and its ripple effect into other areas. Now you see it – you can stop it. And yes, after which – life’s a beach again.

TAURUS

Start your efficiency engines, Taurus! The lunar eclipse in your  5^th is all about harnessing a practical yet devotional approach. And also cutting to the heart of the matter when it comes to love, romance, children and creative ventures. Do remember that ruler Venus is retrograde at this time. So, you are honestly advised to leave love matters alone. Except when it comes to existing ones that require an injection of dedication and focus.

Usually this is a house associated with pleasure, attraction and flow. But this eclipse also tells you that you cannot afford to allow your heart to rule your head. You do have to take a pragmatic approach and look at how this impacts you in the long term. The eclipse opposes Saturn in your 11^th. And trines Uranus in your sign. So, there’s an element of the unexpected and with an eclipse – the unforeseen in play. Eclipses conceal and what’s covered up may not necessarily be a bad thing. Eclipses like retrogrades simply are. The cosmic lesson however is always wait and see. And in Virgo to balance out facts with feelings.

Try not to jump to conclusions – especially when it comes to how others appear or are behaving. The only way to really know is to ask. The gift waiting to be unwrapped with this eclipse is to let go of ideas of perfectionism – in yourself and others, to release old patterns and emotional baggage you weren’t even aware you were still toting around, and to rediscover where joy resides. In activities like your hobbies for instance. There’s a curiosity awakening within you under this eclipse. And that’s around what a love experience can really offer you. Something more than it has done in the past. Just open your mind to this, Taurus. And watch and wait for it to make itself known.

GEMINI

This eclipsed full Moon is in the other Mercury ruled sign of the Zodiac – fellow mutual sign of Virgo. This also means that the eclipse will square any Gemini factors within the orb of the eclipse at 23 degrees. Use a 1-2 degree orb. And yes, being a step ahead as usual, you have already understood that if you have anything around 23 degrees of Pisces the eclipse opposes them. And if you have Sagittarius factors within the orb, this makes another square.

The eclipse takes place in the Moon’s ruling house – your 4^th. And it will impact something ‘close to home’ for you. Eclipses conceal and cover up. And just to add to the general sense of you being in the dark, ruler Mercury turns retrograde the day after the eclipse happens. Take it that you have zero idea of the outcome. And also keep in mind – blessings often arrive in disguise. Solid foundations can be shaken – but they won’t collapse. And if you are suddenly presented with an unexpected change you didn’t see coming – this due to Uranus in the mix in your house of hidden truths, then this is one of those times when you need to keep an open mind about what is really behind any shifts you need to make.

If some of you are faced with a sudden move, a collapse of that property matter such as your buyer withdrawing, a family member who needs support or an unexpected change around work or anything that underpins your security – the situation is in fact, far from over. Expect the usual back and forth, rock your boat motion you associate with Mercury backwards. At least until next month. And the usual retro rules apply – and then some, Gemini. If you can put off that big decision until then – do it. It could be that at a time when nothing is yet clear, doing nothing is the charm.

CANCER

What you say, hear or share could be emotionally charged under an eclipse in your 3^rd of communication, Cancer. First piece of advice is not to believe everything you are told and fact check. Sites like Scambusters are your friend. As is Googling the truth behind what’s currently being doomscrolled online. And check yourself before you post or reshare something.

This is a total lunar eclipse. Which means you are completely in the dark and disconnected from your usual intuitive prowess. Virgo is a sign which relies on the facts. It loves to check them, read the fine print, and delve into those details. It also knows the way to separate fact from fiction is to keep asking questions. And not to rely on third parties, but to do its own due diligence. This may be a challenge for you as you rely on your feelings. But feelings are not facts no matter how intense they feel.

Keep this in mind especially in conversations with siblings, members of your extended family, neighbours and even co-workers and clients. The old therapy question: How does this make you feel? Is your best question to ask under this eclipse. And also ask the same question of yourself. Then go from the ‘how’ to the ‘why’ it makes you feel this way. Or the other party.

There’s deep undercurrents and triggers in play which is why you need that bigger picture. If you are travelling, preparing for an exam, involved in a legal matter or engaged in any kind of interaction with people overseas, you need to take it slow. The eclipse opposes the Sun and Saturn in your 9^th and trines Uranus in your house of friends, groups, goals and the future. What you thought about someone, the world in general or what is possible for your future, could about to be turned on its head. And you have the facts to hand which back up your new truth.

LEO

Like your neighbouring sign of Cancer, you are always profoundly affected by an eclipse. Sometimes as early as two weeks before it happens. Your ruler is always involved. Even in a lunar eclipse. The Earth is between the Sun and Moon with its shadow covering the lunar surface. Signal interrupted as far as you’re concerned. Which is why you feel strangely discombobulated and dialled down.

The total lunar eclipse takes place in Virgo and your house of money, possessions, spending, saving, values and all important self-worth. It’s worth pointing out that Venus – which rules your bank account, is retrograde right now. Which really tells you that it’s honestly not the time to indulge or splurge. If you have leaned too far in to extravagance lately – those Clearpay purchases, that maxxed out card – this is the time to count the cost in terms of your budget. And also look to the emotional triggers behind what you buy.

I am not for one moment suggesting you renounce the beauty and glamour for which your sign is known, Leo. But there’s more than one way to make a statement. Especially if your bank statement makes your heart beat faster in all the wrong ways. This eclipse can also bring up something which impacts on your status and how others see you. And yes, this could be linked to your financial status, your income or simply how you work your real worth. Perhaps you thought you had dealt with this. But the eclipse’s angle to Uranus in your 10^th and Saturn in your 8^th tells you that one final ‘The buck stops here’ action is needed. Tackling this once and for all? Priceless.

VIRGO

I’m talking about your evolution under the eclipsed full Moon in your sign, Virgo. Do watch for overload, Virgo. In any area. The eclipse is at 23 Virgo. Check where your Virgo factors are. Is anything close? Overload includes too much on your mind, body strain, carrying too much (physically and emotionally). Because eclipses conceal – well, this may not happen in the area you think. Or the effects are made apparent in something which seems unrelated – but actually isn’t. The eclipse opposes Saturn in your 7^th and trines Uranus in your 9^th – giving this a real but unpredictable feel.

The overload may not be happening with you. Because the Sun is in your 7^th  – this could be someone close to you who needs your ability to cut away the extraneous and focus on the core truth. Be ready to offer your support. You may need to take the initiative and speak up. Especially if you have had concerns about them running on empty for a while now.

But if you have felt that you have simply been in ‘keep going’ mode for a while – be this at work, home or in your relationship, this eclipse is your cue to stop. Keep in mind that ruler Mercury reverses the day after the eclipse – adding to the call to slow down.

At the heart of this is the need to release. And to prepare to step from one cycle into the next. For some of you, where this needs to happen now (or is), will be apparent. If you have been working diligently towards a goal for instance, the eclipsed full Moon may hand you a spectacular finish. However, if you have been ignoring the need to change up something which has been secretly taking its toll on you – body and soul, this eclipse may be the point when the universe takes matters into its own hands. This is due to the eclipse’s proximity to Saturn in your 7^th and Uranus in your 9^th. Uranus rules electricity so remember what I said about that overloaded circuit. It also rules the unexpected, the surprising and the evolution of your soul. That’s at the heart of the surprise package this eclipse conceals.

LIBRA

This total lunar eclipse is in your house of secrets and hidden truths. And your ruler Venus is retrograde in your 7^th. What does this tell you, Libra?  That what you imagine to be true most probably isn’t.

Don’t spend too much time in your own head under this eclipse. And do deal with any health issues in a timely manner. Especially your mental health. Don’t allow your thoughts to spiral. And if this is the case, then find someone trustworthy to help you unpack them. A friend, a family member or if this isn’t possible, then consult a professional. Your doctor, therapist or a psychic reader. They will help you stay grounded and gain clarity. Spending time outdoors will also chase away confusion.

Eclipses are neither good nor bad. Like any other astrological event they simply are. But they can act as trigger points – bringing something to the surface that has been building or we have been unaware of. This eclipse trines Uranus in your 8^th. Indicating that the take-out will be a big change. And opposes pragmatic Saturn in your 6^th. Handing you an inescapable truth. Secret loves can surface. Past lovers could reappear. Healing your past is also on offer. And this can stem from you suddenly seeing things in a radically different way. Or via the truth finally being exposed. Journaling, meditation, your trusty Tarot deck are tools you can use to get your answers. Be open to the idea that the idea you’ve clung to for so long may now need an update. And be ready to upload and adapt when it arrives.

SCORPIO

No matter what you can imagine – the universe can always go one better, Scorpio. There’s a lot happening in your 5^th of fabulosity and attraction right now. We have two retrograde planets heading back into it. Saturn, anaretic Neptune, the North Node and of course – the Sun. And it’s the Earth getting between the Sun and the Moon which causes the total lunar eclipse in your 11^th.

The eclipse opposes Saturn and also trines Uranus in your 7^th of duos, duets and double acts of all descriptions. This could point to a revival. Especially around a friendship – or maybe more. But it can also point to a major shift around your social circle and potentially, a goal as well. And to go back to what I was saying at the start – it may not look quite what you thought it would – because it’s actually better than anything your imagination could come up with. Or should I simply say – more bespoke?

What’s perfect for us may not be quite what we think we want. Hence, because eclipses cover up, you need to look beyond the obvious. Innovate and update your goal list. And let go of old goals which truly don’t resonate. However – this isn’t the time to set new ones. Wait for the retrograde cycle to end, and eclipse shadows to clear first. And in the interim, remain open and curious about what the universe delivers all on its own.

This eclipse can show you which friendships support your growth. And who drains or restricts you. Your group dynamics may also change if you come to the conclusion that their values and yours are no longer aligned. That party, band, group, movement, club or association. However – if you and others went your separate ways – yes, this could be when you all decide it’s time to get that band back together again. Revivals and reunions happen if they allow all of you to express yourselves authentically. If not, room’s now being created for the connections which will. Trust the process, phoenix. See beyond the obvious to discover what’s obviously right.

SAGITTARIUS

This is a course-correcting eclipse if you are on the wrong path. Or alternatively, one which hands you rewards and recognition for long term efforts if you are on the right one. It can also impact on your area of home, family, groundedness and material/emotional security due to the Sun and the eclipse’s proximity to Saturn in your 4^th.

Some of you may discover your true calling if your present one has become unfulfilling or failed to deliver the rewards you hoped for. Others could be guiding a key career development to a satisfying conclusion. Uranus in your 6^th of work and wellbeing is also impacted by this eclipse. Which can see a new direction open up for you. In an unlooked for way. A surprise job offer, client contact or even the chance to work for yourself if that is your goal. You are told your present role is ending but then land a better one.

Do check your chart for Sag factors within 1-2 degrees of the eclipse orb. If you have them the eclipse squares them. Asking you to bring your best game. Know the outcome you are after. Even if you have to adapt as you go. The message is that you are in a position to establish something better for yourself now. And to step into something more innovative, exciting and personally satisfying.

Don’t be afraid to change direction. Or take a more dynamic approach to your present one. Some of you may even find yourself in the spotlight and singled out for what you do. Reinvention and rebranding could be your starting points for future success. Or simply getting others to see you in a new light. Above all, take yourself seriously, Sag. Because if you don’t – who will?

CAPRICORN

The bigger picture may be somewhat obscured. The old quote from the Bible: ‘Through a glass darkly’ sums this up. It means our worldview, or what we believe is reality, is skewed. This is a total lunar eclipse. If you have Capricorn factors at 23 degrees both the eclipse AND Uranus will trine them. Which means you can stand by for a big reveal now.

Ruler Saturn is all entangled in all of this. So, expect the blinders to come off. And once they do, you can never put them back again. The eclipse is in your 9^th house of travel, foreigners, overseas contacts, mass media (that includes the internet), the law, religion and philosophy, the great outdoors and higher learning. Take it that you are about to add to your knowledge base.

A wise friend of mine once said they were happy to be wrong as this meant they had learned something new. Honestly – that’s the best philosophy to have right now. So, please don’t hang on to the need to be right.

Eclipses are neither good nor bad. But they do need to be approached with caution. Especially if you are travelling now as the eclipse occurs in a Mercury ruled sign. And Mercury will retrograde the day after the eclipse. There may be something about your journey you are as yet unaware of. So, allow extra time to your destination and do check everything from tech outages to the weather before leaving.

If you are engaged in legal matters, do try to avoid making a decision until the after-effects of this eclipse have dissolved. So – at least two days. Be very wary of who drops into your DM’s – they may not be all they appear to be. And don’t be clickbait. However, if something has been restricting you or keeping you stuck, the big reveal could just show you a solution. This may also hand you a learning curve. But take it you’re ready for a fresh perspective. One way or another – expect 20/20 vision to be restored.

AQUARIUS

Pluto now in your sign wants you to understand that you are in control, Aquarius. Do keep this in mind under an eclipse in your transformation sector. Both your rulers ancient and modern are ensnared within the eclipse shadow. Modern day ruler Uranus in your 4^th. And old ruler Saturn in your 2^nd. It’s important you know where your deal breakers are. And when to set healthy boundaries.

The eclipse is in your ‘other’ money house and intimacy zone. What you share with others. Including your home or living space. While Saturn and the Sun are in your house of money and values. Along now with the North Node as this eclipse is on the new nodal axis. If you are looking at a need to assert yourself or speak up when it comes to getting what you want, how confident do you feel about this? Your 8^th is also your house of fears and insecurities. Are you worried if you speak up you’ll lose someone’s love or approval? This eclipse can see you dragging those hidden fears up to be re-examined and re-forged in the light of Pluto power.

What you owe or what is owed to you may come full circle under this eclipse. Some of you could even be looking at a payout or unexpected bonus. Others fearlessly tackle something they have been putting off connected to their finances or bringing a situation to a close. Yes, that old saying is that the other thing we have to  fear is fear itself. And once we face it down, we quickly realise there was nothing to be scared of. And are simply left wondering why we didn’t deal with it sooner? In the darkness, reconnect to your power this eclipse cycle.

PISCES

Full Moons always shine their light into the sign opposite to the one they appear in. Unless of course – they are eclipsed. A full Moon in your 7^th would typically see the spotlight on you in terms of a relationship. But this time, the mirror that’s being held up is obscured. In ancient times the words ‘Know Thyself’ were carved above the entrance to the Oracle of Delphi. And the need to arrive at a fresh understanding of yourself and your needs is what this eclipse wants you to look at.

This also includes being thankful if you have that special person who ‘gets’ you. If the business of simply living has got in the way of you showing them just how much you love and appreciate them, this is the time to let them know. If, however, there’s a growing awareness that something isn’t working, you need to acknowledge this and deal with it, especially under the Venus retrograde.

Check your chart factors for anything at 23 degrees. Or within a 1 degree orb of this. The eclipse opposes Saturn in your sign and trines Uranus in your 3^rd. Opening up self-awareness and understanding. And also the way you communicate this. You’ll stop holding the truth in and in sharing, craft authentic understanding. If you are single, you need to avoid seeking someone new. Not just because of the eclipse but also the Venus retrograde. Instead, mindfully opt to working on the one relationship you can count on – with yourself.

Look to all your close liaisons. Your ride or die, that partner in crime, that collaborator or fellow mischief maker. Above all, let go of old ideas around what a soulmate is or looks like. Your sign is now the focus of a long term eclipse cycle which will take you all the way through to 2027. Expect changes around your unions. And discoveries when it comes to who or what you really need.
