Eclipses, Sun & Moon 2025 – Aries and Virgo – Astroinform with Marjorie Orr
Eclipses, Sun & Moon 2025 – Aries and Virgo – Astroinform with Marjorie Orr 2025
The first eclipse of the year is a Total Lunar Eclipse on 14 March at 23 degrees Virgo/Pisces with the Sun conjunct Saturn and Neptune which suggests a fair amount of anxiety and illusory thinking from Saturn Neptune. With a harder-edged, explosive, perhaps military, Sun Saturn trine Mars sextile Uranus.
On the astrocartography, the generally unfavourable Pluto MC line runs through Ukraine and all points south which does not look hopeful.
The Partial Solar Eclipse of 29 March at 8 degrees Aries, also has the potentially high-risk Saturn trine Mars sextile Uranus. It is in a 9 New North Saros series which according to Bernadette Brady is physically expressive, so accidents, great effort or even violent events may accompany it. It can be positive in terms of constructive physical activity as long as a watchful eye is kept on safety.
It was around previously in this Saros Series in 2007, 1989, 1971, 1953, 1935, 1917
Ukraine has Chiron on the Midheaven which might suggest difficulties deciding on a path ahead; and the New Moon MC runs through Poland. Brazil and Australia look less than thrilled.
The Total Lunar Eclipse of 7 September at 15 degrees Pisces/Virgo is the first eclipse to bear the signature of the new era with Pluto in Aquarius trine Uranus in Gemini sextile Neptune in Aries and Saturn in final degree Pisces. There may be a more upbeat mood with the Full Moon trine/sextile Jupiter and Jupiter in an enthusiastic square to Mars.
Though the Saros series of 9 New South is associated with worries about loved ones, health and paperwork. Bernadette Brady remarks: “Any news will have a sense of destiny or fatedness about it.” It was around previously in this series in 2007, 1989, 1971, 1953, 1935, 1917.
On the astrocartography the Pluto MC is through Moscow and the Middle East which may not augur well for those regions; with a more comforting Jupiter IC through Ukraine.
It will be visible from parts of Europe, North America, Greenland, and Russia with the greatest eclipse depth over Greenland and far-eastern Canada.
The Partial Solar Eclipse of 21 September 2025 at 29 degrees Virgo is in a downbeat opposition to Saturn and Neptune, though Saturn is trine Jupiter which in turn is square Mars in final degree Libra which may take the edge of the Saturnine gloom. Plus the Pluto trine Uranus sextile Neptune (Saturn) of the new era is in place.
The Pluto MC line is through Norway and central Europe.
It will be visible from parts of Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica, and the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
The EU chart with its Ascendant at 29 degrees Virgo will be affected by the September Solar Eclipse especially – and also by tr Neptune Saturn moving across its Ascendant as they head for Aries in the EU 1st house cutting down high hopes and bringing confusion about identity.
