Virgo Full Moon Overview
The Virgo Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse is a period of culmination, release, and heightened awareness. With this one being a lunar eclipse, its effects are amplified, bringing hidden matters to the surface and exposing what is ready to shift. This eclipse initiates a shift, setting the stage for a period of change that unfolds over time.
Virgo emphasizes practicality, efficiency, and discernment, while Pisces operates through intuition, vision, and fluidity. The Full Moon in Virgo highlights details, structure, and functional solutions, while the Sun in Pisces prioritizes imagination, interconnectedness, and adaptability.
The Sun and Moon in opposition highlight the tension between detailed analysis and broader vision. The Moon in Virgo conjunct the South Node signals patterns from the past that may no longer serve a purpose, while the Sun in Pisces conjunct the North Node, Saturn, and Neptune points toward an unclear but necessary transition. The breakdown of old structures is underway, yet the direction forward is not fully formed.
This eclipse takes place in the midst of Venus and Mercury retrograde, requiring reassessment in both relational and strategic areas. Mars, the ruler of Aries, remains out of bounds, amplifying assertive and reactive energy in unpredictable ways. Mars squares Venus, Mercury, and Chiron, creating agitation and heightened sensitivity. Uranus sextile the Pisces stellium signals disruptive but necessary shifts, breaking apart stagnant patterns to create space for something new.
With the Aries Equinox, a solar eclipse, and Neptune entering Aries in the coming weeks, this Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse mark a turning point. The energy is disruptive, uncertain, and in transition, requiring adaptability and awareness of both the details and the broader trajectory.

The Virgo Full Moon highlights precision, efficiency, and problem-solving. As a mutable earth sign, Virgo thrives on organization and refining systems to improve functionality. It values practical solutions, focusing on what is useful and necessary.

Sun in Pisces

As a mutable water sign, Pisces is adaptable and receptive, moving with the ebb and flow of emotions, creativity, and spiritual awareness. It operates beyond logic, relying on instinct and an innate understanding of life’s interconnectedness.
Pisces’ strength lies in its ability to see beyond the tangible, embracing imagination, compassion, and universal connection. This boundless approach allows for profound creativity and visionary insight but can also lead to a lack of clear direction. When grounded, Pisces energy offers inspiration and depth, guiding us toward a greater sense of purpose through intuition and emotional resonance.

Ruler: Jupiter represents the outlook for growth and development. Pisces is the receptive polarity of Jupiter. A stream of vision and service flowing out to the world from the depths within. The connection of all as one.
Moon Virgo and Sun Pisces (Details vs Unity)
Virgo attends to details, organization, and practical solutions, often fixating on the parts rather than the whole. Pisces embraces the unity of all things, emphasizing compassion, imagination, and an intuitive understanding that transcends specific details.
Virgo Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse
This lunar eclipse in Virgo intensifies the Full Moon’s themes, accelerating necessary endings and shifts. Lunar eclipses often bring revelations, uncovering information or emotions that have been hidden beneath the surface.
With the Moon conjunct the South Node, this eclipse may highlight past patterns, obligations, or habits that are no longer sustainable. While clarity may not come immediately, this is a pivotal moment for recognizing what needs to be released to move forward.
The Sun in Pisces conjunct the North Node, Saturn, and Neptune signals an uncertain path ahead, requiring trust in a process that is still unfolding. Structures are dissolving, and with Mercury and Venus retrograde, this eclipse is not about immediate action but rather reassessment, integration, and preparation for long-term shifts.
This eclipse also coincides with Mars out of bounds, amplifying unpredictable and reactive energy. Mars squares Venus, Mercury, and Chiron in Aries, creating tension between past wounds and future aspirations. Meanwhile, Uranus sextile the Pisces stellium suggests unexpected disruptions that, while unsettling, may ultimately lead to necessary breakthroughs.
With the Aries Equinox representing the astrological new year, a solar eclipse, and Neptune’s entry into Aries on the horizon, this eclipse serves as a threshold moment. What is being dismantled now is clearing space for what comes next, even if the full picture has yet to emerge.
Venus Retrograde in March
Venus will retrograde from Aries back into Pisces. During this retrograde cycle is a good time to reassess and reflect on important relationships, your brand values, and priorities when it comes to coworkers, clients, and collaborators.

Am I being too forceful, or not assertive enough in how I interact with coworkers, clients, and collaborators?
Does my brand radiate confidence while staying true to its essence?
As Venus moves from bold and assertive Aries to compassionate and creative Pisces, the focus softens, inviting empathy, emotional connection, and spiritual alignment within your relationships. This energy calls you to:
Reflect on how emotionally connected you feel to your brand
Review and realign how your brand attracts ideal clients
Reassess whether your messaging fosters deep, authentic engagement and realign as needed
This shift from Aries to Pisces in your business or at work highlights how you balance assertiveness with compassion, weaving together themes of courageous self-expression and connection with others on a deep level.
Mercury Retrograde in March
In March, Mercury will enter it’s next retrograde cycle starting in Aries and retrograding back into Pisces, shifting communication style from direct and forward focused to reflective and focused on projects and issues from the past.
Mercury retrograde cycles encourage slowing down to reflect and review, reconsider decisions, and refine what has already been started. Plans may require revisions, errors can be readily found and corrected, and reviewing can add more depth.
Mercury Retrograde in Aries brings a period where communication is bold, fast, and to the point. However, as Mercury begins its retrograde motion, what was said in haste may need to be re-evaluated, what seemed like quick solutions may require reconsideration.
Clarity can give way to misinterpretation, and messages may need to be refined. This phase encourages slowing down before speaking and reconsidering impulsive decisions.
Mercury Retrograde in Pisces shifts the focus from assertive expression and direct communication to a more introspective and fluid approach. Thought processes become more fluid, daydreamy, and blurry. Conversations may be more reminiscent, and reviewing past ideas can bring deeper insights.

Virgo Full Moon Aspects
Sun opposite Moon
This Full Moon opposition brings pragmatism into conflict with uncertainty as the Moon conjunct the South Node focuses on past patterns, while the Sun conjunct the North Node, Saturn, and Neptune signals a dissolving structure and an unclear but necessary transition. The tension between functional details and a shifting larger vision underscores the need for patience as new structures take shape.
Nodes Conjunct Luminaries and Saturn
The Sun and North Node in Pisces conjunct Saturn bring a karmic quality to this eclipse, suggesting events or decisions with lasting impact. The Moon conjunct the South Node may expose limitations or outdated commitments, making this a time of release and recalibration. Saturn’s influence reinforces the weight of responsibility, though Neptune’s presence keeps the long-term vision undefined.
Uranus sextile the Pisces stellium
Uranus’ sextile to the Sun, North Node, Saturn, and Neptune signals disruptive yet necessary shifts. While changes may seem abrupt, this energy supports breaking away from stagnant conditions to create space for something more aligned with the future. Flexibility is key, as these shifts may not unfold in a linear or expected way.
Mars square Venus, Mercury, and Chiron in Aries
Mars, the ruler of Aries, plays a critical role in this retrograde season, intensifying its impact on both Mercury and Venus retrograde in Aries. As it remains out of bounds, its square to Venus, Mercury, and Chiron amplifies emotional reactivity, unresolved wounds, and impulsive tendencies. This aspect may stir frustration, heightened assertiveness, or reactive communication, particularly in areas related to personal identity, relationships, and decision-making. Navigating this period requires patience and strategic thinking rather than acting from impulse.

Virgo Full Moon Wrap-Up
The Virgo Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse marks a period of transition, bringing unresolved matters to the surface and exposing what is no longer sustainable. With the Moon conjunct the South Node, past patterns and obligations may resurface, while the Sun conjunct the North Node, Saturn, and Neptune signals a shift into unknown territory.
