Virgo Full Moon Eclipse: How to release control and surrender

March 12, 2025

As we navigate through the dreamy waters of Pisces season, we find ourselves at the threshold of a significant astrological event: the Virgo Full Moon Eclipse happening on March 14th. 

The Virgo Full Moon Eclipse calls for a shedding: a shedding of rigid methods of control. A shedding of expectations or the way things are “supposed to be.” A shedding of ways of being, behaving & doing no longer in alignment with this new world that is forcefully ushering in.

The Pisces-Virgo axis, on which we’ll be experiencing eclipses for the next two years or so… is about delving deeply into who you authentically are.

Pisces calls for us to surrender to our connection to a Higher Power and to live our lives in alignment with the whispers of our Soul. Where true authenticity comes not from living a version of ourselves that seems “right” on paper, but by living in accordance with an embodied version of ourselves that is in touch with intuition, beauty & love as our guidance.

As we continue to swim through this Pisces season combined with Venus Retrograde in Aries & Pisces, we are asked to cast aside the parts of ourselves that no longer fit who we truly feel ourselves to be. In this final season of the zodiac, we find ourselves in a shedding process, whereby that which is no longer aligned gracefully floats away, in order to make space for the sacred new.

As women, many of us are the first in our lineage with the power & freedom to fully embrace the full spectrum of ourselves, both the light and shadow aspects of our authentic nature.

And yet we continue to carry the feminine wounding of unworthiness, of being “too much” or not enough, of playing small so that we can be seen as the “good girl” who has done all the right things: we got the job, the car, the house, the partner.

And yet.

There is so much more to life than this playing dress up.

And this Full Moon Eclipse in Virgo wants us to remember who we are.

This Eclipse is a Portal of Destiny

As we drift through the mystical tides of Pisces season, the luminous gateway of the eclipse beckons us. This eclipse represents a cosmic initiation, a sacred opening where the celestial and the earthly meet in a delicate embrace. The Pisces-Virgo axis holds a mirror to the divine balance between spirit and form, dream and structure, surrender and devotion.

Bathed in the soft glow of this eclipse, we find ourselves suspended between the earthly wisdom of Virgo and the boundless, celestial realms of Pisces. With the Sun, Saturn, North Node, and Neptune all swirling within Pisces’ watery expanse, this lunation invites us to dissolve into mystery while still tethering our dreams to Virgo’s earthy energy.

As Saturn casts its weighty presence near the Sun in Pisces, there may be a feeling of heaviness—a sense of responsibility or an awareness of unseen forces shaping our path. Neptune’s nebulous touch blurs the lines of understanding, urging us to embrace the unknown with faith rather than fear.

This eclipse at 23 degrees Virgo holds profound significance, especially for those with placements in the mutable signs—Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, and Sagittarius—near this degree. Its reverberations will echo through the unfolding tapestry of our lives over the next 18 months, culminating in February 2027 when the Virgo-Pisces eclipse cycle ends.

Since time immemorial, eclipses have been revered as divine events. Omens of great change, their arrival signaled shifts in the currents of fate. Kings and mystics alike have watched eclipses move across the sky with bated breath, sensing the whispers of destiny woven into these heavenly alignments. These lunar passages were seen as thresholds, invitations to step beyond the known and into the realms of divine transformation.

Eclipse periods have whispered prophecies, shifted kingdoms, and rewritten destinies throughout human history.

In our own soul journey, eclipses arrive as ethereal doorways—moments when the cosmic web weaves new threads of our fate. Eclipses come in sacred pairs, like cosmic lovers, working in divine harmony with the North and South Nodes of the moon—those mystical dragon points where our karmic path intersects with the moon’s star-led voyage.

The Priestess and The Mystic

Virgo and Pisces are the sacred keepers of devotion—the earthly priestess and the ethereal mystic.

The Virgo-Pisces axis represents one of the most spiritually potent pairings in the zodiac. Virgo embodies the energy of the priestess—meticulous, service-oriented, and connected to the tangible manifestation of sacred work. Pisces carries the wisdom of the oracle—intuitive, visionary, and attuned to realms beyond the veil.

This combination creates a powerful conduit for spiritual growth. The magic of this axis lies in its ability to bridge the ethereal and the tangible. Pisces dreams and visions can be channeled into form through Virgo’s practical wisdom. What we imagine in the quantum field of possibility (Pisces) can be methodically manifested through Virgo’s organized approach to creation.

If you engage in any divinatory practices—tarot readings, oracle cards, dream work, ancestor communication—this eclipse offers an exceptionally fertile time for receiving guidance and insight. This eclipse serves as a bridge between these two sacred archetypes, a luminous moment to weave our dreams into form. If you are called to divination, energy work, or ancestral connection, the veil is thin, and the whispers of the unseen are nearer than ever.

Listen closely.

Healing Through Sacred Surrender

Both Virgo and Pisces share an intrinsic devotion to healing—Virgo through service and refinement, Pisces through surrender and divine grace. With the North Node in Pisces and the South Node in Virgo, we are called to release the weight of perfectionism, the need for rigid control, and the relentless self-judgment that binds us.

Under this eclipse, we are invited to:

  • Surrender the burdens of over-analysis and allow the unseen forces to guide us
  • Release the grip of self-criticism and soften into self-compassion
  • Trust the unfolding of the divine plan, even when clarity remains elusive
  • Harmonize the sacred balance between the seen and the unseen, the practical and the mystical

Trusting the Unfolding Mystery

Rather than fearing eclipse energy, we can view it as an opportunity for accelerated growth and transformation. These turning points often mark the moments when we make pivotal choices that align us more authentically with our soul’s journey.

This Virgo Full Moon Eclipse invites us to step back from the shallow aspects of our day-to-day existence and connect more deeply with our intuition, our purpose, and our highest vision. It offers a powerful vortex through which we can divine insights about our path forward, while simultaneously gifting us with Virgo’s practical wisdom to implement the necessary steps.

Under this luminous portal, may you find clarity amidst the mystery, order within the dream, and grace in the great unfolding of your path.

As we navigate this powerful portal, remember that you are always worthy—not just for your potential or what you could be, but exactly as you are in this moment. In the infinite ocean of Pisces, we are all connected, all sacred, all enough.

Trust that the stars are guiding you home.

Ways to Work with the Eclipse Energy

1. Purify and Organize

Virgo’s sacred devotion to purity calls for a ritual of cleansing. Engage in acts of purification—declutter your home, cleanse your energy with sacred smoke or salt baths, and create space for new frequencies to enter.

With Virgo’s meticulous energy heightened, the urge to clean, sort, and create order from chaos is particularly strong now—whether it’s organizing your physical space, digital files, or creating more efficient systems in your life.

2. Sacred Dreaming

Pisces rules the realm of dreams and intuition. Your dreams may be especially vivid and meaningful during this time. Keep a dream journal beside your bed to record insights upon waking. Set an intention before sleep to receive guidance about specific questions or challenges in your life.

3. Ritual of Release

Under the glow of this eclipse, write down what you are ready to release—patterns of control, self-doubt, or the need for certainty. Offer it to the elements: burn it in sacred fire, cast it into flowing water, or bury it in the earth with reverence.

4. Alchemizing Emotion

With Pisces’ heightened sensitivity and Virgo’s analytical nature, emotions may surface in waves. Allow them to move through you like the tides—acknowledge, honor, and release. This is a time for deep emotional integration.

5. Devotion to the Divine

Whether through prayer, meditation, dance, or sacred movement, devote yourself to the divine within and around you. This eclipse is a reminder that we are both celestial and earthbound, weaving light into form with every breath.
