Current Energies
Here we talk about New Moons, Full Moons, eclipses, retrogrades and other shifts in planetary energies that influence each of us.
Lunar Eclipse in Pisces 9*7*25
Here we go! The second eclipse season of the year starts peeks on Sunday with the Lunar Eclipse in Pisces. Lunar Eclipses are powerful Full Moons, the effects of which last for about 6 months, until the next set of eclipses. The Sun has been moving through Virgo and will be at 15 degrees opposite the Moon at 15 degrees of Pisces at the time of this eclipse on Sunday afternoon.
The Virgo-Pisces axis is about service and balancing the desire to organize and improve how we meet the demands of daily life (Virgo) with the equally strong desire to explore how to express the qualities of the soul in human form (Pisces). Virgo-Pisces demands we balance the health of the body and the spirit.
Lunar Eclipse in Virgo 3*14*25
Welcome to the first eclipse season of 2025, which started off with this morning's Lunar Eclipse in Virgo. For any individual, the effects depend on where the eclipses land in your chart and if they are making connections to any planets or points in your chart. That said, even if you are not strongly affected by the energies, they are permeating the planet, so everyone is feeling them to some extent.
In this Lunar Eclipse, the Sun at 23 degrees of Pisces is opposite the Moon at 23 degrees of Virgo. The Pisces - Virgo axis is one of service. Sun in Pisces, the mutable water sign, is clear that there is something more at play than simply the visible world.
The grounded, practical qualities of earth give water a container and a framework to prioritize and explore the information held in the emotions. Here, Virgo is that complement to Pisces. Virgo energy, as the mutable earth sign, is motivated by the need to make things better.
