Change - Shift - Change! Eclipse Cycles In March Indicated Major Shifts For The Year!
“In any given moment, we have two options:
To step forward into growth
Or step back into safety.”
~Abraham Maslow
Eclipses are energetic shifts and times of unexpected change, new beginnings, and fantastic growth opportunities. They can mark the end of something (lunar eclipses) or the start of something new (solar eclipses) and impact our lives in many ways. We, as astrologers, deeply understand and track these cycles intensely.
In ancient times, eclipses were not just celestial events but harbingers of fear. The sight of the Moon turning red or the Sun being overshadowed by the Moon would send people running for cover. Some even succumbed to the terror. It was a time when the world seemed to be ending, if only for a few moments.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow on the Earth's surface. This alignment signifies a decisive moment of new beginnings and transformations.
On March 14, 2025, a Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse occurred in the astrological sign Virgo. The lunar surface was red for 65 minutes, and this phenomenon is often called a "blood moon."
On March 29, 2025, a Partial New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred in Aries. Did you feel the shift!! I am writing this article three weeks before the events, so I suspect many things will happen in March with these big cycles.
In Astrology, the impact of the Eclipse depends on the sign it is in when it occurs, and having your Astrological chart done by a professional Astrologer will help you know where these shifts will happen for you.

A key factor to consider when understanding how it affects your natal chart is the chart placement. The degree and sign where the Eclipse falls in your chart give insight into the area of life this energy influences. For instance, if the Eclipse falls in your 4th house, it may bring changes related to your home, family, or mother.
The aspects the Eclipse makes to other planets and sensitive points in your chart can indicate the nature of the changes or challenges you might experience. Positive aspects bring opportunities, while challenging aspects may create tension or obstacles.
In Jungian psychology, the 'shadow' is not just the physical phenomenon of an eclipse, but an unconscious aspect of our personality that shapes our ego. It's the darker side, the hidden truths of our subconscious. Understanding and integrating our 'shadow' is not just a psychological exercise, but a powerful tool to overcome unconscious behaviors.
These cycles are great opportunities to see whatever prevents us from realizing the most important thing we are here to do—grow and transcend the many illusions of this world!
