The upcoming Virgo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on Friday, 14 March 2025, brings a powerful opportunity for release and realignment. On the same day, Mercury—Virgo’s ruling planet—turns retrograde in Aries, amplifying the need to reassess how we see ourselves and our life’s purpose. This eclipse urges us to let go of anything that no longer serves us, particularly daily habits that don’t align with our true vision.

With the Sun, North Node, and Neptune all in Pisces, the desire to romanticise our lives is strong. If something doesn’t inspire love and devotion, we’re more likely to part ways with it now.
As a total lunar eclipse, this event is also a “Blood Moon,” so named because Earth’s shadow casts a deep red hue over the Moon. Those in America will have the best view of the full eclipse, while here in the UK, we’ll have to settle for a glimpse.
The Virgo Full Moon Eclipse Tarot spread I created can help you discern your main spiritual lesson and see what you are ready to release at this time with greater clarity. CLICK HERE to scroll down to the spread.
The Main Virgo Card in the Tarot
The Hermit is the Major Arcana card that corresponds with Virgo. This card embodies the wisdom we gain through introspection, discernment, and solitary reflection. Just as Virgo, ruled by Mercury, approaches life with precision and a keen eye for detail, The Hermit seeks truth through careful analysis, separating what is useful from what no longer serves. His lantern illuminates the path forward, but only for those willing to pause and truly see.
During a Full Moon in Virgo—especially one intensified by a lunar eclipse and Mercury stationing retrograde—the call to step back and evaluate our lives becomes even more potent. The Hermit’s energy encourages us to sift through the clutter, both external and internal, and refine our daily habits, routines, and relationships with clarity and purpose. This lunation amplifies Virgo’s drive for purification, urging us to release what has grown stagnant and to honour the sacred order in our lives.
The Hermit reminds us that retreating into stillness is not an escape but an essential process of realignment. In times of cosmic turbulence, his quiet wisdom guides us back to inner truth, showing that the most profound insights emerge not from external noise but from the silence within.
Five Key Themes of the March 2025 Virgo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
- Sacred Review of Relationships and Values
With Venus retrograde influencing this eclipse, the cosmos encourages a deep reassessment of relationships—romantic, platonic, and familial. Are your connections still nourishing and aligned with your evolving values? This is a time to examine where you may be holding onto relationships out of habit rather than genuine resonance. - Heightened Intuition and Messages in Dreams
The strong Piscean energy during this lunation enhances intuition and dream activity. Keeping a dream journal can help you capture important insights from your subconscious. Pay close attention to signs, synchronicities, and angelic messages, as they may offer guidance on your next steps. - Shifting Foundations: Financial and Global Uncertainty
Mercury and Venus both in retrograde suggest shifts in the material world, from financial markets to global events. The external landscape may feel chaotic or unstable. Rather than getting caught up in fear-based narratives, use this time to strengthen your inner stability and trust your spiritual guidance. - Healing, Detox, and Embodied Awakening
With the Virgo-Pisces axis activated, health and purification come into focus. Whether through improving diet, detoxing from negativity, or establishing a more mindful daily routine, this eclipse supports holistic healing on all levels—physical, emotional, and spiritual. - A Portal to Higher Consciousness
While external events may seem uncertain, the Virgo Full Moon lunar eclipse offers a profound opportunity for inner growth and spiritual expansion. Reconnecting with nature, studying ancient wisdom, and integrating spiritual practices into daily life will help align you with a greater sense of divine flow and purpose.
Placements and Sabian Symbol
This Eclipse happens at 23 degrees of Virgo-Pisces. Check what placements you have around this degree in those signs as well as in Gemini and Sagittarius, the other two mutable signs. This is where the eclipse will have the greatest impact. In my case, this eclipse is conjunct my Pisces Mars and Moon so it’s a high-impact eclipse. The House placement tells us more about how this will affect our lives.
The Sabian symbol for 24° Virgo (we round up to get the Sabian symbol) is:
“Mary and Her Little Lamb”
Interpretation:
This symbol represents innocence and purity of spirit. It suggests a nurturing presence, where a strong yet compassionate figure leads with kindness rather than control. There is an element of spiritual guardianship, trust, and faith in divine support. We are shielded against pride and arrogance.
In the context of the Virgo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, this symbol highlights the importance of gentleness in the face of transformation. While the eclipse may bring upheaval, this degree reminds us to approach ourselves and others with patience, love, and care. It also speaks to loyalty and guidance—whether through spiritual connection, mentorship, or the quiet wisdom of the heart.
Finally, it invites a perspective free from social and intellectual preoccupations, embodying a vibrant simplicity and imagination. This energy feels very much like that of the Page of Cups to me.

Sample Virgo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse Reading
1. What spiritual lesson is unfolding through this eclipse?
The Emperor highlights a lesson in structure, discipline, and personal sovereignty. This eclipse challenges you to take full ownership of your life, set firm boundaries, and establish a solid foundation. It’s about mastering your inner authority and understanding that true leadership—whether over yourself or others—requires wisdom, responsibility, and integrity.
2. What is coming to the surface for release?
The 8 of Pentacles suggests that a relentless focus on productivity, perfectionism, or work-related effort is ready to be released. You may have been caught in a cycle of overworking, striving, or obsessing over details, and now it’s time to step back and reassess. Let go of self-criticism and the belief that your worth is solely tied to what you produce.
3. What relationship or personal value needs reassessment?
The 4 of Swords points to the need for rest and retreat. You may need to reassess your relationship with rest, stillness, and recovery—especially if you’ve been neglecting self-care. This eclipse asks you to consider whether you allow yourself enough time to pause, reflect, and heal before moving forward.
4. What area of life is experiencing instability or uncertainty?
The Magician represents personal power, manifestation, and communication. There may be uncertainty around your ability to bring your ideas to life or to express yourself effectively. Mercury stationing retrograde alongside this eclipse could amplify doubts about your skills or make it harder to feel in control. Trust that you have everything you need… but you may need to recalibrate your approach.
5. How can I best ground and support my well-being?
The Ace of Pentacles encourages a focus on tangible, grounding practices—whether through financial stability, physical health, or connecting with nature. Investing in yourself, starting a new wellness routine, or making small but meaningful lifestyle changes will help you feel more secure.
6. How can I step into greater alignment with my soul’s path?
The King of Pentacles suggests that true alignment comes through mastery of your material world. Whether it’s developing financial independence, creating stability, or embodying a sense of self-assured leadership, your soul is calling you to embrace abundance and responsibility. Trust in your ability to build something lasting and meaningful.
This reading emphasises themes of stability, self-mastery, rest and work-life balance—all deeply in tune with the Virgo-Pisces axis. The Virgo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is shedding light on how you balance work and rest, structure and flow, ambition and well-being. Release over-exertion and perfectionism so you can step more fully into your power.

You’re welcome!
Thank you for this! Very insightful. I got the following cards
1. The Magician,
2. Queen of Pentacles reversed.
3. Page of Pentacles reversed
4. Queen of wands
5. The Moon
My 6th Card was also TheFool!
Thanks for sharing, Lola. Would you like to share your interpretation as well? Blessings
So,
1. My mental state is a bit overstimulated right now, juggling a lot mentally- school, work, life, spirituality, so much. Hence, the magician
2. Beating myself up for not managing funds well, not spending enough time with family
3. I need to relax and just take a break, do nothing. Take time to be less serious or “focused”
4. To be happy and in charge and fill my world with magic
5. Not sure how The Moon card fits in…
6. I copied your interpretation word for word
Hi Lola, Thanks for sharing. I don’t know if you noticed but you missed a card out – This is a 7-card spread… I’m happy to help with The Moon but I need to know which out of the SEVEN positions it is in first. 🙂
OMG so I’ll do it again I actually pulled 7 cards, good thing I took notes!
1. Mental state: The Magician my mental state is overstimulated rn
2. Self judgment: Queen of Pentacles reversed beating myself up for not managing funds well, not spending enough time with family
3. Mercy: Page of Pentacles reversed: relax, do nothing, take time out to play sometimes
4: Dream/vision for the future : Queen of Wands: Happy and in charge, filling my world with magic.
5. Area where I have already excelled : The Moon…
6. This will cease to be useful: Ace of Pentacles – I think this has to do with thinking and worrying about how to make more money
7: Where it’s most useful to focus my thoughts: The Fool!
Great! Right, so the Moon as an area where you have already excelled could be about a few different things… but the things that spring to mind is overcoming some of your fears and having tuned into a more intuitive way of navigating your problems.
