Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo

March 13/14 2025

Improvements for Personal Growth

Usually eclipses are a catalyst for change. More attention is focused on this one as it is a full eclipse, “Blood Moon”, and red in color like a stop sign. What are things of how we are, have been, our habits or that relate to the past, that we need to take notice of and “stop” or things that "stop" us or limit our personal growth, and progressing as our Higher self? 

This energy can be more helpful for your future in a way that can come up out of the blue or a certain ‘ah-haa’ moment for what needs to change in your life for the better. A reality check moment. A pop-up of change for the better. Practical daily improvement for our Higher selves. A nudge of a direction of what to take care of and improve now so that we can start a new chapter of sorts. We are having to deal with our past or ways that do not serve us in a positive way or helpful way for our present being and for our future. 

Liberation with Removal

What can be removed, altered or improved upon to raise the bar for myself? What are things I do that are more personal or kept to myself, personal habits, negative self talk, or otherwise, that is no longer needed for my own self improvement.

Lunar eclipses are super charged Full Moons ,so there is an element of illuminating the things we need to release. Things we’ve had with us, or have been doing or a way of thought that’s been with us for a long time can be asking to be let go of. It could be a traditional way you do something. Or things come up to your attention or something is coming to its full presence and then its energy starts to wane, the letting go process begins. 

A purging of some sort, a letting go for upcoming forward movement. A need to release old unhealthy patterns. Liberating from those things. Aries season is around the corner as is a Solar eclipse in Aries, so while this eclipse is more about the release, and ending, the Solar eclipse on March 29 will be more about beginning and starting things.

Repairing or fixing something from the past. Having to deal with it or be responsible about it.

Initiation

This energy is also connected to initiations. When we are initiated into something it usually requires a letting go of something, leaving something behind or something that is symbolic of a death, a death to your old self. Many religious or native cultures have these Rites of Passage that are like thresholds of maturity. We might also need to let go of an expected social role we've had felt we had to conform to or was pressure to be.

Discerning what is good for me, aligns with my values and is an expression of my Higher self. A time for refinement. Discern what is good and healthy and what no longer serves you or is unhealthy. These are personal things. What’s good for some is not good for others. What unhealthy habits, addictions, compulsions, mental habits or daily actions do I have and do that take me away or that I tend to escape with that’s not really helping me any? It can be liberating to be free of these things and clear space and make room for the new. Some of these things we can come in with from our previous past life.

If you can’t answer these questions the Universe will point them out for you in ways you can’t miss. You choose whether or not you want to take responsibility for these things or be left to a habitual or unhealthy unpredictable current.

The Practice of Sacrifice

At this time it falls in place with Lent (a Christian and Catholic event, other religions have similar times of year as well) in that it’s a space of time to consciously quit a habit or take a pause, purge, cleans, fast, surrender, or give up something for a while. While it can feel like a loss, it can also be felt as a freedom from something. 

It makes us reflect on these things and to be reminded to choose and commit to a “self-restriction” of some sort. You set up new rules for you to follow for a set time, maybe you stick to those rules and level up yourself because of it.  You choose daily not to do certain things. You work a certain “need” muscle differently. You water and nurture daily with choice of a new discipline. Things take time for new ways of being and we can be emotionally attached to certain things or ways for which we have to confront and deal with.

Giving things up, they don't have to be “negative” things or bad habits. They can also be things we value and like, as to kind of reset ourselves as to what we’ve become attached to about ourselves or to practice being ok with loss. 

Who would I be without this aspect of myself or this thing? I’ve identified with this, let’s take this a way for a while and see if I’m still ok. It can purge out the unnecessary aspects of ourselves in some way or it can regenerate a new appreciation and gratitude for something when we leave something be for a while. This is a kind of level of spiritual practice. We make a Sacrifice.

Health and Wellness

Be aware of health, illness, health crisis, people who you know who are dying or passed away. Maybe a death of someone close to you triggers a change of personal values or what's really meaningful to you.

In what ways can I improve my daily routine, personal health and nutrition? What better choices can I make with my personal wellness? Connect and integrate mind, body and spirit in a balanced way.

Things that Require Personal Attention

Certain practical or detailed things need to be done, that HAVE to be dealt with and taken care of. You may have to jump through some hoops and take care of business. Some things that are in place for the long term, or have been, might need attention or adjustment. You have to deal with the law, some authority or go through some government paperwork or healthcare forms. Restrictions imposed. Themes involved with your father or your career may need adjusting or releasing. Even our skills that we have might need more attention. A musician practices every day. Skills get improved upon.

A time to be conscious of being judgemental, or having critical confrontations with another or someone being judgemental towards you.

Remember, sometimes we experience things as happening outside ourselves, we see and experience things, or things happen to us, but also there are many ways that we can experience things and changes in our minds or in our behavior, whether we are conscious of it or not. 

So while change may be from something that “happens” to us, or we experience something that changes us, we can also have these happenings and changes within us, with our body and mind, that is more personal or that people don’t know about, just our personal selves.
