Dear readers, since mid-February, when we entered another eclipse cycle, we will be experiencing significant changes and transformations in March and April.
Undoubtedly, the zodiac signs most affected by this lunar eclipse will be Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, and Pisces. These signs may experience major turning points in their lives.
In particular, transformations, endings, and brand-new beginnings in relationships, career, or personal development may occur. Old structures may need to be dismantled and rebuilt. During this period, conflicts and obstacles may increase at times. In short, for the signs mentioned above and those with personal planets in these signs, change is inevitable, but it will also require effort. Patience and flexibility will be critical during this process.
Now, let’s analyze this lunar eclipse along with its aspects.
Lunar Eclipse on the South Node: A Time for Release and Surrender
If I had to summarize this eclipse in one sentence, I would say:
“Let go of control and excessive responsibilities, simplify, and go with the flow.”
With this eclipse, we will enter a phase where cycles from the past related to daily routines, order, health, work life, and areas where we tend to be perfectionists will come to an end.
Since it occurs on the South Node, we may need to change and reorganize old habits, thought patterns, work processes, and even health-related routines that are no longer serving us. Whatever we have been trying to control may slip out of our hands, forcing us to adapt and surrender to the flow of life.
In particular, we may need to work on Virgo-like behavioral patterns such as perfectionism, excessive analysis, or focusing too much on unnecessary details. Issues related to unhealthy eating habits and stress may arise. This could be a great time to adjust our lifestyle, start exercising, or adopt a healthier diet.
Virgo is associated with service, hard work, and self-sacrifice, whereas Pisces, its opposite sign, represents surrendering to the flow, trusting divine order, and letting go.
In summary, health is our greatest asset—we may experience significant changes in our work schedules, work environments, or responsibilities, allowing us to release excessive burdens.
Saturn, Sun, North Node & Neptune Conjunction: A Call for Spiritual Growth
This eclipse cycle highlights themes of karma and destiny, urging us to shift our focus toward the Piscean qualities of spiritual awareness, trust in the flow, and deep intuition.
As we question our responsibilities, structured lifestyles, and critical approaches, the strong Piscean influence increases our need for spiritual expansion, trust, and intuitive strength.
We must remember that sometimes, letting go, trusting our intuition, dreaming, believing in divine justice, and embracing creativity can guide us out of difficult situations.
With Saturn’s influence, we can find the discipline and motivation needed to turn our dreams into reality. The North Node, which represents the direction we need to move toward, helps us break free from rigid patterns, gain new perspectives, and develop greater awareness.
Break your chains and embrace your dreams!
Logic is not always the only way out—spiritual balance, creativity, empathy, sacrifice, and unconditional love will provide greater support during this period. However, Saturn’s presence will prevent us from becoming scattered, allowing us to establish well-defined boundaries in both relationships and work life.
Uranus’ Support in This Lunar Eclipse: Unexpected Yet Stable Shifts
• Sudden and unexpected fated changes are taking solid foundations.
• In work life, daily routines, and health, unexpected transformations may free us from outdated structures.
• New systems, innovative ideas, and unconventional steps will shape the new order.
• Uranus in Taurus ensures that these changes are stable and long-lasting.
• Trust the flow and stay flexible!
Mercury in Aries, Retrograde Venus, and the Shadow of the Mercury Retrograde
The ruler of this eclipse, Mercury, is in Aries, conjunct retrograde Venus, and in a stationary position before its Mercury retrograde begins on March 15!
This suggests that:
• Old issues will resurface—we may revisit unresolved matters from the past.
• Decisions may lack clarity, requiring patience before taking action.
• Impulsive moves should be avoided until full clarity is achieved.
Since Mercury is stationary, decision-making processes may slow down. Past issues may be reassessed, but rushed actions should be avoided.
Additionally, due to its conjunction with retrograde Venus, themes such as:
• Past relationships,
• Old friendships, and
• Unresolved emotional matters
may come back into focus.
Since Mercury in Aries prefers direct and fast communication, its stationary position could lead to sharper, more tense conversations. This is a period where conflicts may escalate, so we must be mindful of our words to avoid regret later.
Mercury-Venus retrograde conjunction also brings financial concerns to the forefront, such as:
• Old debts and payments,
• Budget evaluations, and
• Investment reviews.
In short:
Due to Mercury’s stationary phase and upcoming retrograde (March 15) along with Venus retrograde, rushing into new beginnings is not advisable. If possible, important decisions should be postponed until after April 15.
