Lunar eclipse on March 14, 2025: features of the event
The full moon on March 14 is a total lunar eclipse, and it rises in the down-to-earth and detail-oriented sphere of Virgo, highlighting the earth sign’s themes of well-being, organization, and cleanliness. Lunar eclipses are similar to supercharged full moons, so they’re naturally associated with the energy of climax and liberation. But with this lunation, letting go is even more important, as the Moon activates the South Node of Destiny—a cosmic point that can wash away anything that’s holding you back from your true path, astrologers say.
This is the first eclipse in Virgo since 2016 and the second in the most recent cycle of eclipses on the Virgo-Pisces zodiacal axis. The first was a lunar eclipse in Pisces, which peaked in September 2024. So the energy that is restructuring and flushing during this lunar cycle will have a pulsating effect for the next two years. And this lunar eclipse has an even more unique flavor, as the Moon will be making strong aspects to both the rule-making planet Saturn and the rule-breaking planet Uranus. Unexpected shifts are inevitable.
A full moon is a great opportunity to meditate, charge your crystals, or make moon water. If you’re not yet at that level, you may find visualization techniques, deep breathing, or yoga helpful in managing the energy of the moment. But unlike regular full moons, lunar eclipses only occur twice a year. And the astrology of lunar eclipses stirs up vibrations that are much more intense than the energy of a regular full moon.
Lunar eclipse on March 14, 2025: what not to do
- Don't lose touch with reality. It's the height of whimsical and aquatic Pisces season. So many can get lost in their own fantasy world. But with the ever-serious planet Saturn in close conjunction with the Sun in Pisces and opposing the Moon during the eclipse, you'll have to face some harsh truths now and put away your rose-colored glasses. It's good to be idealistic, but Saturn's presence in this eclipse forces a reality check and calls for a more serious approach.
- Don't be a perfectionist. Remember that perfect is the enemy of good. So don't adopt an all-or-nothing approach to getting everything done right away. Virgo has a reputation as the most perfectionist of all the signs of the zodiac. This is largely due to this sign's hawkish attention to detail and desire for improvement. But nothing is perfect, so trust that simply doing what is realistic, given your current circumstances and resources, will be good enough.
- Don’t take your dreams lightly. During the eclipse, the Moon will be in opposition to tough-love planet Saturn. As a result, some lingering feelings of lack, limitation, and inadequacy will surface. Saturn’s lessons are rarely easy. But its challenge to you is to take yourself and your lofty goals a little more seriously and to really think about how to make them happen. Instead of writing yourself off as a dreamer, find ways to inject pragmatism into your fantasies. You can do both if you treat your visions with the respect they deserve.
How to benefit from a lunar eclipse: what to do
- Accept what you can’t control. Eclipses always signal a time of surrender, reminding you that sometimes the universe’s plans don’t quite line up with what you’ve set out to do. But this eclipse is in Virgo, a sign known for being organized, planned, and tidy. And accepting a situation that you can’t control can be especially difficult, and you’ll have to take a step forward. Learn to go with the flow and let go of your control over the future. This will relieve the tension you may be feeling right now.
- Identify where your life is cluttered. Virgo's orderly and organized energy naturally seeks to bring order. And while it's well-known that trying to completely control your environment during this lunar period is not recommended, you will be able to better see the cluttered areas of your life. Take inventory of what you've fallen behind on or what you need to start getting organized. After all, now is your chance to make or break it.
- Be open to surprises. The unexpected upheavals brought on by an eclipse like this can be unsettling. But it’s important to remember that some sudden changes turn out to be happy ones, even if they take you in a direction you didn’t expect. The moon’s trine to the unpredictable planet Uranus brings a thrilling element of surprise to this eclipse, reminding you that life doesn’t always go as you planned, and that’s okay. Embrace curveballs or changes in your heart with an open heart. It may be just what you need to get you on the path to truth.
