Preamble:
The eclipse cycles trigger waves of energy that influence all of us internally and externally. The imprint of energy as captured by the chart calculated for any eclipse, tends to get carried forward in time on a wave for about 6 months, and so makes for a useful method of forecasting.
All eclipses represent a break in the normal transmission of light from the sun, and that means the transmission of spiritual information received at the soul level of our beingness. For me the eclipses represent changes and shifts in the way our self-realisation process unfolds, keeping us in tune with our pre-intended life-purpose prior to incarnation. In essence, eclipse energy imbues us with an impulse, which when acted upon, makes us feel like we are on track, energised, and purposeful. How this affects us in detail can only be determined by cross-referencing with a natal birth chart, but we can look to the overall themes to see how the world in general will be influenced, to give us a sense of the psychic weather patterns shaping things over time.
A solar eclipse takes place during a new moon, so it can be viewed as an enhanced new moon. Not only can we receive Higher-Self seed impulses for the coming month, we also can receive awareness that alters our growth path, or new lessons can be initiated, which will carry beyond the month over a 6 month period of time.
To begin with…
This eclipse season begins with a total lunar eclipse in Virgo, followed by a partial solar eclipse (enhanced new moon) at the end of the month. Typically, eclipse energies activate in pairs, meaning that for the period of about 2 weeks the energy can feel more intense and stimulating than usual, and we can often feel a subtle building pressure, followed by a subsidence of pressure after the second eclipse (in this case the solar eclipse in Aries). I find that both eclipses belong to each other and represent dual expressions of the same energy wave. We appear to enter an energy corridor, and the way I experience the energy is much like the drawing of an arrow on a bow string; tension building until finally the arrow is released.
The lunar eclipse is essentially an enhanced full moon that takes place close to the lunar nodes. This year the lunar eclipse occurs close to the South Node in Virgo, energising Virgo themes in relation to personal and emotional growth for about the next 6 months connected to what must now be released or healed.
Full moon energy amplifies the emotions, and it's always a good idea to avoid making any significant life decisions until at least a few days after the solar eclipse at the end of March, since the eclipse energies can be volatile and chaotic.
2025 is going to be an interesting year because the March equinox occurs right in the middle of the eclipse window, between the Lunar Eclipse and the Solar Eclipse, and the yearly Aries New Moon that initiates the personal growth year is also the Solar Eclipse, and thus the energies initiating new growth themes will be enhanced, amplified and more intense. On top of that 2025 will see Neptune, Uranus and Saturn moving signs signalling even more change.
In this forecast I am going to introduce some of the key themes that will be sustained over the next few forecasts i.e. the upcoming Equinox Forecast symbolising the beginning of the astrological year and the new collective themes, and the following Aries Solar Eclipse Forecast (Aries New Moon) as well, since these all occur within a week of each other, and so the collective archetypal patterns will be much the same.
The chart cast for the Lunar Eclipse in Virgo is very focused on some key themes, so lets take a closer look on what is initiating for this next 6 month period…

The new evolutionary axis now activates
As mentioned in previous posts, we recently underwent a shift in the evolutionary axis from Aries/Libra to Pisces/Virgo. The evolutionary axis symbolised by the lunar nodes, is much like a compass needle pointing the optimal way forward. This lunar eclipse is the first since this change took place, and now activates the Virgo energies in a bigger way.
The Pisces/Virgo axis indicates that humanity must make progress now toward greater spiritual connection, through grounded spiritual practices and rituals. Obviously this will express through people in many many ways, and be tailored to their unique frequency of consciousness.
This 1st 'full moon' eclipse activation at the South Node in Virgo, initiates a call to purify from patterns, memories and stories rooted in the past. This purification process is linked to spiritual awakening; in order to open up, elevate and activate spiritual awareness and connection, we must release toxicity from the emotional, mental and physical body. This means the release of negative emotions, unresolved trauma, and limiting identities that obstruct spiritual connection. Although one might say this is an ongoing theme for many on an active spiritual path during this time, the next 6 months will see this even more energised.
We may need to physically detox, and perhaps eliminate parasites and heavy metals etc.
We may need to work in a psychotherapeutic setting to recapitulate past memories and stories, so we can agree to release them.
We might be drawn to spiritual cleansing processes e.g. sweat lodge or silent Vipassana retreats
We may benefit from healing rituals that help us anchor in the new frequencies
The emphasis here, is to clear the way for upcoming future personal activations and alignment with the new quantum energetic arising in the Gaian planetary field in the months to come.
With the North Node in close conjunction to Neptune in Pisces this is an opportune time to receive new activations if we ask for them.
Feminine initiations
A Yod featuring the eclipse moon and South Node sextile to Typhon with Chiron and Eris at the apex, highlights the nature of personal psycho-emotional work initiating for the next 6 months: Chiron conjunct Eris in Aries represents a reactivation of the Divine Feminine through the bridging of the mind, heart and body, made possible when we respond to the call to heal and purify. Powerful transformative and de-activated/repressed aspects of the self can now more easily be brought back online, as long as we are willing to cooperate with the process being asked of us.
As we ascend in vibration, we begin to access the higher dimensional levels of being, and this elevation is expressed as a movement toward greater integration with the Feminine aspect, which is to say a shift from an overly dominant mental approach to existence, where we default to always trying to figure everything out, and to plot and plan our lives through strategic and habitual patterns of seeing things, toward a more feminine heart centred approach, which is more trusting, flowing and cooperative with natural universal forces. It is worth noting that the mental function of the mind operates a bit like a structured computer, always building sense and meaning from past patterns of experience, while the heart-awareness is radically different. As we become more and more heart centred, the mental mind function becomes more tempered; we think less and less, and allow solutions to arise in their own time from the collective intelligence field all around us.
Central to this Lunar Eclipse Wave is the evolutionary movement to reconcile with the forgotten feminine aspect within, in order to make ready for new levels of spiritual activation. Venus and Mercury are in close conjunction in Aries suggesting that a new level of heart communication and awareness may arise.
Varda (another feminine archetype connected to star energy) is currently square the nodes, and thus invigorating the evolutionary axis with strong quantum energy waves, especially since she is conjunct with the Galactic Centre. This means that all potential spiritual activations will be supported by a plethora of benevolent spiritual beings and groups working with those of us ready to take a step up the frequency ladder.
Attending to personal healing and purification processes opens the way for Higher-Self alignment
The Sun is in close conjunction with Saturn in Pisces, both are trine to Mars in Cancer, and sextile to Uranus in Taurus. Uranus is in close trine to the eclipse moon.
Much of what is being prepared for through this eclipse wave, is to anchor infusions of the Higher-Self into the body through the release of old energetic structures, which in turn will allow us to move through life in a more flowing and surrendered way. Everyone is invited, and some will make small incremental steps, while others will move in strides and leaps. The more conscious we are, the more likely we will invite these upgrades through intention, request and prayer. Just remember that this isn’t a race, and that we all want to ascend at the correct rate for us as individuals in ways that optimise a gentle and joyful awakening process. There is no need to push; the onus is on allowing and flowing with what is.
Finally…
The focus of planets in Aries and Pisces evokes a sense of a threshold, and as I mention in the upcoming March Equinox Forecast, this sense of a threshold will probably be projected forward throughout the next year, indicating that some energies are still culminating and need to be completed, while others are now initiating in new ways stimulating new beginnings.
On another level the fusion of Pisces and Aries energy offers a dynamic alchemy, blending the personal with the universal, and a sense that new spiritual awareness goes hand in hand with new life initiatives. As I ponder this, my thoughts dwell on how changes in frequency through spiritual progress can significantly alter the pattern of our lives, and this can mean that not everyone we know is progressing at the same rate, and we may experience sudden breakups, especially if we ourselves have become attached to an idea of what life should be.
The lunar eclipse in Virgo close to the lunar South Node initiates deep personal and emotional processes of release connected with persecution karma, and conditioned beliefs around unworthiness, patterns of self doubt and inferiority. For those of us already spiritually active, the next 6 months may see the release of past life victim trauma especially connected with ritual, reverence and the sacred e.g. the past persecution of "witches" targeting souls who were the carriers of ancient knowledge, wisdom and the sacred. This is also a window of time when some of us may activate past life knowledge connected with holistic healing and spiritual practice.
