Virgo Lunar Eclipse: Passing Through the Eye of the Needle

The Full Moon at 23°57’ Virgo graces the sky at 11:54 p.m. PST on March 13, 2025.  This lunation is also a lunar eclipse, marking a powerful portal of release and transformation.

 

Aspects to the Lunar Eclipse:

 

  • Biseptile to Jupiter in Gemini - A mystical opening to expansive, yet fated, wisdom.


  • Opposition to Saturn (conjunct the Sun in Pisces) - A culmination of lessons around structure vs. surrender.


  • Trine to Uranus in Taurus - An invitation to break free and embrace liberation.


  • Opposition to Neptune - Dissolving illusions to reveal higher truth.

Mercury’s Influence: Slow, Potent, and Preparing to Reverse

 

Adding to the significance of this eclipse, Mercury—the ruler of Virgo—is stationing to turn retrograde tomorrow evening (March 14th) in Aries. When a planet stations, its energy is amplified, and in this case, Mercury's influence is particularly potent.


The Virgo Full Moon, already encouraging us to examine details and refine our approach, is now underscored by Mercury's impending shift.

 

Mercury’s slow movement suggests that things may feel suspended in time. What once seemed certain could now appear fluid. Conversations, contracts, and decisions may require more contemplation.


Rather than rushing forward, this is an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and ensure that our words and intentions align with our true purpose.

 

The Call to Release: Perfectionism & Attachment

                    

With this Full Moon aligning with the Virgo South Node, the cosmic message is clear: let go.  Let go of the need for perfection, the belief that things must unfold in a specific way, and the weight of unnecessary burdens.


Full Moons are always about illumination and culmination, but an eclipse adds an amplified energy of destiny and transformation.

 

We are entering an "eye of the needle" phase on our journey here on Earth.

 

Jesus famously said, "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."  Some interpretations suggest that the “eye of the needle” was an ancient gate in Jerusalem—one so narrow that camels could only pass through if they were first unburdened of their owners' possessions.

 

This metaphor feels especially potent now.  To pass through this sacred portal of transformation, we must release anything that encumbers our spirit—whether it be outdated beliefs, attachments, or fears.  The more we shed, the lighter and freer we become.

Navigating the Timelines: Which Train Are You On?

 

We are living in a time where multiple timelines are converging and diverging.  Imagine two trains running on parallel tracks—right now, it's still possible to jump from one to the other, which also explains why there seems to be at least two versions of reality.  Soon, these timelines will begin to separate, and choosing your trajectory will become more definitive.

 

This eclipse asks: Is there anything you are holding onto that is preventing your soul's ascension?

 

  • Are your beliefs empowering or limiting you?

  • Are you focusing on fear or on consciously creating the world you wish to live in?

 

Each of us has a unique role to play in this unfolding transformation. Some are called to be on the front lines, ensuring that structures remain intact. Others are here to hold and sustain the vision of a New Earth. There is no right or wrong way—only what is true to your soul.

 

The Power of Conscious Creation

 

Massive shifts are upon us! This is why presence, consciousness, and love are more important than ever.

 

Your thoughts, words, and deeds act as arrows directing your future. The vibration behind them—whether love or fear—determines their trajectory.


With Neptune about to ingress into Aries on March 30th, spiritual intention will translate into action more rapidly than ever.  Choose wisely.

 

Virgo's Wisdom: Practical Rituals for a Changing World

 

As we navigate these transitions, grounding practices will be essential:

 

  • Meditate daily on the world you want to create. Envision the New Earth. What does it look like? Feel like?


  • Simplify and declutter. Physically, emotionally, and spiritually—shed what no longer serves.


  • Give yourself grace. Birth is messy. Transformation can be disorienting. Trust that you are exactly where you need to be.


  • Embrace tools that keep you centered. I have been delving into Richard Rudd’s Gene Keys, which beautifully weave together astrology, Human Design, the I Ching, and Kabbalah.


  • Take pauses throughout your day. The Triple Flame App (free on your App Store) offers simple yet powerful reminders to pause, breathe, and recalibrate.

 

The Dawn of a New Chapter

 

Enjoy these final days of winter's yin energy. The Spring Equinox is just a week away, and with it, a surge of renewal. Ten days later, Neptune steps into Aries, initiating a new spiritual paradigm.

 

You are here for a reason. The world is shifting beneath our feet, and we are the ones birthing the new era. Stay awake. Stay open. And most of all, stay in your heart.

 

As Richard Rudd reminds us: "When we keep our hearts open, it is impossible to be overwhelmed."

 

These are the days for which we chose to be born!

 

Much love,


Elise


P.S.: For one more bit of insight:


This Virgo Lunar Eclipse is landing in the 6th Gene Key

The Shadow is Conflict, the Gift is Diplomacy, and the Siddhi is Peace

“Every human being is emotionally vulnerable until we drop our protective defences. The defences form around our heart, and as long as our hearts remain defended and closed, they can’t heal.”
