March 12, 2025 | Philip Young, PhD
In 2025, the eclipses will align with the North Node in Pisces and the South Node in Virgo. These will bring deep shifts in intuition, healing, and practicality. The year begins with a total lunar eclipse in Virgo on March 14, highlighting themes of release and refinement. A partial solar eclipse follows in Aries on March 29, sparking new beginnings with bold energy. In the fall, a total lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 7 amplifies spiritual insights. Meanwhile, a partial solar eclipse in Virgo on September 21 reinforces the need for grounded change. These eclipses mark key moments of transformation and growth.
Total Lunar Eclipse (March 14th)
The total lunar eclipse on March 14, 2025, will feature a Full Moon in Virgo aligned with the South Node. This alignment marks a powerful moment of release and reflection. Virgo’s meticulous, earthy energy highlights habits, routines, and systems that may have outlived their purpose. The South Node’s presence signals a karmic release, urging us to let go of perfectionism and the need for control. This eclipse invites us to recognize where we’ve clung to outdated methods in an effort to maintain order. Often, doing so at the expense of our emotional and spiritual growth. It’s a time to step back, assess our daily lives, and clear the clutter—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
As the Moon darkens, we feel the cosmic nudge to embrace Pisces’ North Node energy, encouraging faith in the unknown. Virgo teaches us the importance of discernment, but this eclipse asks us to balance it with trust. The practical concerns of Virgo must now work in harmony with Pisces’ spiritual flow. Whether in our work, health, or relationships, we need to release micromanagement and embrace the bigger picture. By letting go of what no longer serves us, we open space for inspired, intuitive growth in the months ahead.
The total lunar eclipse on March 14, 2025, will move across North America, with optimal viewing conditions in areas away from city lights. Notable locations for observing the eclipse include Chicago, Illinois; New Orleans, Louisiana; Mexico City, Mexico; and Ottawa, Ontario.
Partial Solar Eclipse (March 29th)
The partial solar eclipse on March 29, 2025, occurs during a New Moon in Aries. On this date the Moon is near the North Node in Pisces. This eclipse signals a powerful moment of initiation, as the New Moon’s fresh energy blends with Aries’ bold, pioneering spirit. Aries brings courage a desire to start anew, yet this eclipse challenges us to reflect on what fuels that drive. The Moon’s proximity to the Pisces North Node invites us to release self-centered ambitions. We need to align our goals with a higher, more compassionate purpose. The fiery energy of Aries may push us to act impulsively. However. this is a time to sit with our impulses and let clarity emerge from stillness.
As the Sun and Moon align in Aries, the darkening reminds us that new beginnings require surrender to the unknown. The North Node in Pisces calls us toward faith, creativity, and spiritual connection. Meanwhile, Aries’ assertiveness reminds us not to lose ourselves in passivity. This eclipse offers a profound opportunity to balance personal initiative with universal compassion. By trusting intuitive guidance and letting go of ego-driven goals, we can plant seeds for growth.
The partial solar eclipse on March 29, 2025, will be visible across parts of North America, Europe, and northern Africa. Ideal viewing spots in North America include Miami, Florida; Charleston, South Carolina; Houston, Texas; and Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Total Lunar Eclipse (September 7th)
The total lunar eclipse on September 7, 2025, features a Full Moon in Pisces near the North Node. This event creates a powerful moment of emotional and spiritual illumination. Pisces, as a sign of compassion, imagination, and transcendence, amplifies our connection to the collective unconscious during this eclipse. The Moon, at its peak, reflects the Sun’s light from Virgo, asking us to balance the practical and the mystical. The North Node’s presence in Pisces signals a karmic invitation to release our need for control and perfection. Instead, we need to favor trust, intuition, and spiritual surrender.
As the Earth’s shadow darkens the Moon, we need to confront the illusions we cling to. As well, we must recognize the boundaries we impose on ourselves and others. Pisces energy encourages us to soften those barriers and reconnect with our dreams, creativity, and compassion. This eclipse invites us to let go of old emotional patterns that keep us tethered to material concerns or rigid routines.
The total lunar eclipse on September 7, 2025, will be visible across Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. In North America, it will be partially visible along the West Coast, with cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and Vancouver.
Partial Solar Eclipse (September 21st)
The partial solar eclipse on September 21, 2025, occurs with a New Moon in Virgo near the South Node. This moment invites a collective reflection on our habits, routines, and the need for control. Virgo’s meticulous energy, combined with the eclipse’s shadow, prompts us to reassess the structures we’ve built. We use them to maintain order and efficiency in our daily lives. With the South Node’s influence, this eclipse signals a karmic release—encouraging us to let go of perfectionism and self-criticism. The New Moon’s fresh energy offers an opportunity to plant seeds of healthier, more flexible routines while acknowledging our limits.
As the Sun and Moon align in Virgo, the cosmos asks us to find a more compassionate approach to service. Virgo’s earthy practicality can ground us, but the eclipse reveals where we’ve become overly rigid or self-sacrificing. The South Node here suggests that clinging to past patterns of productivity or caretaking may no longer serve our growth. This eclipse supports releasing these tendencies and turning toward the North Node in Pisces, where intuition, flow, and surrender await.
The partial solar eclipse on September 21, 2025, will show across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Central America. In North America, locations such as Denver, Chicago, and Toronto will experience the best views during the afternoon hours.
