Change is inevitable. And in astrology, our relationship to this fact is highlighted by different cosmic events such as transits, aspects and, perhaps most significantly, solar and lunar eclipses.
Eclipses often serve as checkpoints to reflect on the influx and outflow of opportunities, connections and growth in our lives. Lunar eclipses, which occur when the sun and moon are in opposition, are also believed to shed light on things that have been obscured, while solar eclipses, which see the sun and moon conjunct, are thought to offer us fresh starts.
In 2025, we’ll experience four eclipses that have the potential to usher in transformative revelations and exciting new beginnings. And those born under mutable sun signs — Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces — are likely to feel these lunations most potently.
On March 14, the total lunar eclipse in analytical Virgo will sweep in, motivating us to let go of any habits or organizational systems that no longer serve us. Under this influence, we could also become extra aware of our flaws and find that we’re more sensitive to feedback. Do your best to release yourself from perfectionism and accept that small changes are still steps forward. Learning to live with discomfort and really resign yourself to the healing process will also be key.
You could feel driven to start paving a new path for yourself during the partial solar eclipse in courageous Aries on March 29. In this moment, as the ego-ruling sun and intuition-guiding moon conjunct in the cardinal fire sign, we’ll be empowered to pursue our highest goals with confidence. Listen to your inner voice as you strategize how you’ll fulfil your destiny. This could be your chance to bring a long-held dream to fruition.
Then, as we greet the total lunar eclipse in idealistic Pisces on Sept. 7, you may notice your attention shifting back to your inner world. This lunation could exacerbate our emotions and put a magnifying glass on certain truths that we’ve been trying to ignore. Try not to let yourself get too bogged down by them and focus on gathering information that’ll allow you to put things in perspective. Accepting the things that are outside of your control and embracing flexibility will be the best ways to work with this energy.
We might be in the mood to adopt a more solutions-based mindset when the partial solar eclipse in methodical Virgo takes place on Sept. 21. The final eclipse of the year will encourage us to really get organized and think critically about how to establish powerful new habits. This lunation could also remind us that we must care for ourselves before we can truly assist others. Reflect on how you may be neglecting certain needs and consider how you can better prioritize them moving forward.
