Good morning, friends!
Last night, I stayed up really late to watch the Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo and actually got a picture that wasn’t terrible (below) of the red blood moon. Did you see it? Did you watch the livestream?
Two of my Astrokids were up and came outside with me to witness the moon going from bright white to partly dark, then blood red, and I think they really enjoyed the experience. Interestingly, they both have Mars in Gemini natally and are total night owls, LOL.
Today we will go over the horoscopes for all 12 signs, illuminating where in our personal charts we may feel the lunar eclipse polarity, as well as touch on the upcoming Mercury retrograde influence, since Mercury stations retrograde on Saturday, March 15, 2025, and pick a guidance card for each sign from The Tarot.
If you missed the Lunar Eclipse Deep Dive Part One going over the basics and the interpretation of this lunar eclipse, you can go back and check it out here.
Okay, let’s get into… the astrology
(all times are in Eastern time unless mentioned otherwise)
The Horoscopes
This will make the most sense if you read your rising sign, but feel free to read your Sun, Moon, and Rising sign if you so fancy.
Aries
The Lunar Eclipse in Virgo will be happening in your sixth house of health issues, employees, and pets. The ruler of your sixth house, Mercury is in your first house and about to station retrograde! You may experience a celebration or ending regarding something that causes you stress, a thankless job, or with a pet. Perhaps you change your mind about a job or your pet and go back to something you did in the past. Your ruling planet, Mars is in Cancer in your fourth house of home and family and is finally moving direct after being retrograde for so long over the winter. This is good and means that you have more energy to tackle whatever it is that you want to do. There could be a surprise coming up involving a sudden financial breakthrough or you are liberated from an expense.
The guidance card for you Aries is:
VI of Swords-Reversed
In the upright position (pictured below), this card is about leaving a situation and going on to something better, but reversed (pictured above), this card means that the issues you wanted to leave may have traveled with you or you are thinking a lot about them and so they weigh heavy on your mind. This card can also mean that a move you made turns out to be a temporary one or if you are planning a move, there are delays you have to deal with. With Mercury stationing retrograde and representing modes of transportation, coupled with this card, it may signify that you get stuck somewhere and can’t leave the situation for some reason, so do your best to take good care of your vehicle!
Taurus
The Lunar Eclipse in Virgo will be happening in your fifth house of children, pregnancy, recreational activities, and romance. You may experience a celebration or ending involving something you’ve created or something you love and find pleasure in. Since the fifth house is the house of good fortune and the Joy of Venus, you are one of the lucky ones because this Lunar Eclipse may be more of a celebration for you.
With Uranus in your first house of self, health, and immediate environment, this Lunar Eclipse may be the catalyst for something new, exciting, and kind of on the wild side for you.
The ruler of Virgo (your sixth house), Mercury is in your twelfth house of blind spots and mental health, in Aries, and is about to station retrograde! There may be a lot of preplanning during Mercury’s retrograde about how exactly you want to produce or create your new thing, but that is the perfect time to work out all the details, just be mindful that you don’t fall into self-sabotaging behavior that sets you back. It’s all about attitude and mindset.
The guidance card for you Taurus is:
Queen of Wands
The Queen of Wands symbolizes mastery of self-knowledge. She represents someone who has a purpose to inspire and uplift those around them. The Queen of Wands also represents creativity, intuition, practicality, and passion. She loves nature, children, and life at home.
What a great card for this new and exciting creative energy that is emerging from within you! This means that the next six months will be very productive and creative and your job will be to be your own cheerleader; inspiring yourself, motivating yourself, and keeping a positive attitude. This energy will not only be great for yourself, but it will be contagious to those around you!
Gemini
The Lunar Eclipse in Virgo will be happening in your fourth house of family, roots, property, the father, and endings. The ruler of Virgo, Mercury is in Aries in your 11th house of friends, networks, and groups and is about to station retrograde.
You may experience a celebration or ending involving your family, your home, or your home life. Because Saturn in Pisces has been traveling through your tenth house of career and the mother and is very much involved with this lunar eclipse, pressures at work may feel very exhausting right now.
With Uranus, the planet of chaos and change in your 12th house of blind spots and mental health, there could be something that comes out of the blue that causes an earthquake in your foundation or roots, but with the benefic Jupiter in your first house of self, health, and immediate environment, a protective force may be around you and your loved ones, or there may be a silver lining to the whole situation.
Mercury in Aries, in your 11th house of networks and groups, stations retrograde on March 15, 2025, and as the dispositor of the Virgo Moon, this lunar eclipse may feel as a catalyst for a change of mind, regarding friends or groups that you associate with. You may find yourself cutting ties with people or withdrawing your support from organizations you once favored. You may feel as if you need to rewrite, rework, or renegotiate your compensation for what you do at work or in your business. You may also visit old friends!
The guidance card for you Gemini is:
III of Swords
Ooomph, Gem, I’m sorry, but this is not an easy omen. This card means heartbreak, sorrow, and pain and often comes before a breakup, fight, or hurt feelings. So…with Venus retrograde and Mercury about to station retrograde, it is possible that someone, has recently or is about to, withdraw their affection from you and this is painful. With the Moon’s upcoming opposition to Neptune in Pisces after this Lunar Eclipse, my best advice is to stay strong and not drown your sorrows in any mind-altering substances, but rather express your feelings through art and music. Some of the best art comes from sharing your pain with the world. Stay strong, Gemini.
Cancer
The Lunar Eclipse in Virgo will be happening in your third house of siblings, community, communication, and local travel. The ruler of Virgo, Mercury is in Aries and about to station retrograde in your tenth house of career and the mother. This means you could be going back to an old job or employer or changing your mind about a current job or project.
You may experience a celebration or ending involving a sibling, your neighborhood, or because of something you say or write. Additionally, your mode of transportation may go through some changes or need some attention.
The wild planet Uranus is in your 11th house of friends, groups, and networks and may initiate friends from your community popping by or suddenly calling you out of the blue. Maybe you are the one who shows up on the doorstep of your kindergarten friend wanting to have coffee!
The guidance for you Cancer is:
VII of Pentacles
The Seven of Pentacles is about investing in something for the long term and working hard to make your plans happen. With Mercury about to station retrograde in the tenth house of career, you may be revising your current plans, projects, or career choices. So, what this means for this Lunar Eclipse period, is to not over-work yourself into exhaustion and instead keep a steady pace that is sustainable. You want to cross the finish line, so do what you can to ensure that you do.
Leo
The Lunar Eclipse in Virgo will be happening in your second house of possessions and money. You may experience a celebration or ending with something that you rely on for support, or you may change your level of support for someone else, especially since the Sun and Saturn have just had their conjunction in your eighth house of shared resources and investments.
The unpredictable planet, Uranus, is in your tenth house of career, showing that the financial change may be very fast and swift and could involve your profession.
If you and your spouse or partner share finances, there could be a new structure forming between you or maybe a new agreement at work.
With the ruler of Virgo, Mercury, in Aries, about to station retrograde, prepare for minds to change and plans to need revision in the coming weeks.
Relationships are going through a lot with you Leo, since Pluto entered your 7th house of partnerships last November, so I wouldn’t be surprised if during this Venus and Mercury retrograde period, your relationships went through some adjustments and this Lunar Eclipse may be a huge catalyst for the upcoming changes. Stay true to yourself, Leo, and never accept a relationship where you don’t feel safe to shine as brightly as you're meant to!
The guidance card for you Leo is:
Knight of Cups
The Knight of Cups represents someone on a mission motivated by love, emotions, intuition, and the desire for beauty. This could mean that someone is coming toward you, offering a gift of love, or it could mean that you are offering the love, in a slow and non-aggressive way.
There is action in this card, symbolized by the horse slowly prancing forward, but it is not quick or forced action, it is steady and guided by the heart. It can represent taking action on something or making a decision about something that comes from an internal place of knowing it’s the right thing. Trust your heart, Leo, you’ll know what the right decision is.
Virgo
The Lunar Eclipse in Virgo will be happening in your first house of self, body, health, vitality, and personality. You may experience a celebration or ending surrounding your style, the way you do your hair or a change in your immediate environment.
With the planet of chaos and change, Uranus, in your 9th house of long-distant travel, higher education, and beliefs, you could actually decide to move or take a long trip, or change schools or something after this lunar eclipse.
With the ruler of Virgo, Mercury, in Aries in your 8th house of shared resources, investments, death, and rebirth, about to station retrograde, you may change your mind about an investment or shared resource that comes up after this eclipse. How you are bonded to others and how they are bonded to you may go through a period of adjustment and re-evaluation.
The guidance card for you, Virgo is:
Ace of Wands
The Ace of Wands represents a new idea, inspiration, creation, spontaneous action, thought, or epiphany! It’s an omen of positive energy! This is great and means that whatever you end up changing your mind about or renegotiating the terms of, you are excited about it and it feels like the right thing to do. It opens up more possibilities for you and expands your reach and influence.
Libra
The Lunar Eclipse in Virgo will be happening in your twelfth house of self-undoing, confinement, hospitals, and large animals. You could experience a celebration or ending with something that has to do with a mental program that you run or an old way of thinking.
The ruler of Virgo, Mercury is in Aries in your seventh house of partnerships and is about to station retrograde; and your ruling planet, Venus, has been retrograde for a couple of weeks now, so this Lunar Eclipse may act as a catalyst for a change of mind about something with a partner or spouse, or you may have already been going through revisions in your relationships. It may also be a time of reworking travel plans or educational pursuits.
There could be heavy situations or emotions that are stressing you out, maybe it is money, a relationship dynamic, the daily grind, or a means of support that you are trying to find a solution to.
It’s possible that the Uranian twist of this Lunar Eclipse brings an unlikely solution or something suddenly breaks that actually is good in the end.
Once Venus moves back into Pisces on March 27th, things may settle down a bit and feel easier, but right now, the daily chores may feel very stressful.
Instead of feeling angry that others are not pulling their share of the load, do something to reduce the burden for everyone, which will make it easier for you, too!
The guidance card for you Libra, is:
The Queen of Cups
The Queen of Cups represents a mature woman who is compassionate, emotionally secure, trusts her intuition, and cares deeply about people. She is able to hold space for others and their many emotional expressions, but she maintains her own boundaries.
This is a great card and means that in the future there may be challenges and things that test your resolve but your job is to stay calm, collected, and even-keel; people may depend on you to be the stable and steady ship that can weather any storm. Be this for them, Libra. The Lunar Eclipse and Mercury retrograde may be especially challenging to those around you, too.
Scorpio
The Lunar Eclipse in Virgo will be happening in your eleventh house of friends, groups, alliances, hopes, and wishes. You may experience a celebration with a group of friends or end your association with a network of people. There could be an emotional release after this event that feels productive.
Recently what you love to do or find pleasure in has felt dull, boring, or exhausting and has felt like more work than fun. That is because the fun-sucker Saturn has been in your fifth house of pleasure since March of 2023 and it’s possible you’ve felt like you had to be the responsible mom or dad in all your social situations, telling the “kids” it was time to go to bed or do their chores. This hasn’t been fun. This Lunar Eclipse won’t totally end these feelings, as Saturn isn’t leaving your fifth house just yet, but it may get rid of some of the friends who’ve been a drain to be around.
The ruler of this Lunar Eclipse in Virgo is Mercury who is in Aries in your sixth house of stress and is about to station retrograde. This means that you will be going over what causes you stress and what doesn’t and making some necessary edits to your life.
Your ruling planet, Mars is in Cancer and finally moving direct since the end of February; this has been good and you may have felt a lot more energy as of late.
The wild and unpredictable Uranus in Taurus is in your seventh house of partnerships and relationships and is in harmonious aspects to this Lunar Eclipse, meaning that it is possible that whatever earthquakes happen with your friends, they may just open up the possibilities for a romance, Scorpio. If you are already in a relationship, then it’s possible that something may happen during this eclipse that spices things up a bit.
The guidance card for you, Scorpio is:
Ace of Cups
This is a very positive card and means love, new relationships, compassion, and creativity. The waters run over the edge of the cup symbolizing blessings, good fortune, and loving feelings that come out of the blue and overwhelm you with joy! There is also a never-ending supply of love and nurturing energy.
This is great and definitely supports what I was saying about a new romance coming out of the blue or something exciting happening in your relationship if you are already in one. Be prepared to feel gushy, Scorpio!
Sagittarius
This Lunar Eclipse in Virgo is happening in your tenth house of career, praxis, and the mother. You may experience a celebration in your career or an ending to a project that you were working on. Perhaps you feel you’ve reached a certain level of mastery over something that you’ve been learning.
On the more challenging side of this eclipse is the Sun’s conjunction to Saturn in your fourth house of home and family right before this eclipse. This could’ve really cracked or weakened your foundation, Sagittarius. You probably have been dealing with feeling isolated from family or your partner in some way, because Saturn has been steamrolling your fourth house of home and family since early 2023. It’s possible that, out of the blue, a breakthrough at work or in your health or how you deal with stress raises your spirits!
Your ruling planet, Jupiter is in Gemini in your seventh house of marriage and partnerships and this means that happiness is possible, Sagittarius.
Mercury in Aries is about to station retrograde in your fifth house of pregnancy, children, romance, pleasure, and creativity so you may have a conversation with a lover about what brings you pleasure and you may discover something new about yourself, or a child may come back home to visit you or be the one to offer ideas. Maybe your creativity gets a boost and suddenly you are doing something you did in the past, but this time you have more wisdom and experience.
You may find, come the end of March, that you feel more compassionate, loving, and at ease, in regard to that crack or weakness in your foundation, and your relationships could go through some healing.
The guidance for you Sagittarius is:
X of Cups
The Ten of Cups is about beautiful, divine love, vibrant health, prosperity, children, pure happiness—a happy ending! The rainbow comes after the rain and signifies a happy period after a hard one. This card indicates happiness, true love, and feeling in alignment, so I think it means that even though things have felt hard and stressful, something good is coming and it may surprise you with how healing it is! Be open to the happy ending, Sag.
Capricorn
The Lunar Eclipse in Virgo will be happening in your ninth house of higher education, long-distance travel, gurus, teachers, philosophy, and belief systems. You may experience a celebration or ending around something you are learning or studying.
With the ruler of Virgo, Mercury in Aries in your fourth house of home and family and about to station retrograde, it is possible that you may decide to go back to an old belief, your family’s worldview, your family’s traditions, or maybe even visit your childhood home or town! Your roots may be calling you, Capricorn.
With the planet of surprises in your fifth house of children, pregnancy, and pleasure there could be a sudden conception or a creative spark that initiates a rapid change.
With your ruling planet, Saturn, having just had a conjunction form the sun, it is possible that recently you have felt exposed, burnt out, or weakened in some way. Maybe you’ve just needed more sleep.
The guidance card for you Capricorn is:
II The High Priestess
Trust your intuition. Tune into the sacred reservoir of knowledge and wisdom that comes from the subconscious mind. This card coming up usually means the answers you are looking for will come from within. You are very perceptive right now. Pay attention to your dreams.
Aquarius
The Lunar Eclipse in Virgo will be happening in your eighth house of death, birth, debts, other people’s money, and soul bonds. You may experience a celebration or ending having to do with an investment, a shared resource, or a spiritual bond you have with someone. Something surprising at home may shift the financial responsibilities. With your ruling planet, Saturn, in your second house of money and support, having just been conjoined by the Sun, you could have felt a sense of financial lack or pressure. Now that the Sun is moving off of this trigger point, you may start to recover.
With the ruler of the Virgo Moon, Mercury, now in Aries in your third house of siblings, your neighborhood, and communication about to station retrograde, you may change your mind, take back what you said, or erase what you wrote in an effort to give yourself more time to process things.
The guidance card for you Aquarius is:
King of Pentacles-Reversed
In the reversed position (above), the King of Pentacles is saying that your relationship with money needs to be evaluated. You may be dealing with large sums of money and knowing how to manage them well is a skill to master, one that the King of Pentacles upright (below), has attained. So, checking in on your money management skills is the first interpretation and goes along well with Saturn in your second house recovering from his recent conjunction with the Sun.
The second interpretation of the King of Pentacles reversed is that you may be valuing money over your relationships, or valuing someone’s wealth status over their character. So, this card is an invitation to check in on that part of the scenario. Are you obsessing over money in some way? Are you holding someone to a certain set of standards that they can’t meet? With the lunar eclipse in Virgo in your 8th house of other people’s money, you could be scrutinizing someone else’s financial health a little too critically. Ease up on them, they are only human beings after all, and no one is perfect. Focus on your own financial health and skills instead of pointing out other people’s flaws.
Pisces
The Lunar Eclipse in Virgo will be happening in your seventh house of partnerships, marriage, relationships in general, and open enemies. You may experience a celebration or ending of one of your relationships or it could also have to do with a legal issue if you’ve been dealing with one of those.
With the Sun’s recent conjunction to Saturn in your first house of self, health, and immediate environment, you may have felt weakened, burnt out, or exhausted. It’s possible things may get a lot better after the Lunar Eclipse as the pressure between these planets begins to ease.
With the wild-card planet, Uranus in your third house in Taurus there could be something you read or listen to that really changes the way you think and express your thoughts about your recent experiences. It’s like you have an epiphany or an “ah-ha!” moment and then suddenly want to tell the world what you discovered.
With your ruling planet, Jupiter in Gemini in your fourth house of home and family there may be many changes right now to your foundations, but rest assured, Jupiter brings good luck, community, and support. There is always a silver lining with Jupiter.
With the ruler of the Virgo Moon, Mercury, in Aries in your second house about to station retrograde, you may change your mind about an expense that you and your partner have or a cost of doing business that is not producing enough return. This could also be about an ending, or a withdrawal of supportive language, or the exchange of ideas. Maybe you need to see the numbers on paper.
The guidance card for you, Pisces is:
XVI The Tower
This card signifies that this Lunar Eclipse is bringing a very big change for you. This may not be easy, so brace yourself. The Tower is a symbol of something in your life that you thought was secure, suddenly changing—this can feel extremely abrupt, like a bolt of lightning, or you could have seen it coming, like noticing the storm clouds rolling in and I would wager that you did see it coming ever since Saturn entered your first house in 2023. But this card represents a sudden upheaval, change, or event, that creates chaos, destruction, or a spiritual awakening, so this lunar eclipse/Mercury retrograde could act as a catalyst for what you’ve known all along was on the horizon. Whatever it is, it is fated or karmic in nature and will liberate you in some way.
Find solace in the details, the numbers, and the math…I know that may be hard for you Pisces, but with the Moon in Virgo during this lunar eclipse and Jupiter in Gemini, it is about the details, the patterns, and the divine mathematics. Actually, you may find great comfort in music, because music is mathematical so it will speak to the Mercurial influence, but it is also emotionally inspiring and healing, so it can talk to your dreamy, intuitive Pisces side, too. Find the beauty in the change. Sending you big hugs!
I hope you enjoyed these Sun/Rising sign horoscopes.
I would love to hear your thoughts, so please leave a comment!
Take care of yourselves during this Lunar Eclipse/Mercury retrograde! I wish you all the best!
