Our March 2025 Solar Eclipse is one with a difference. Usually, a New Moon is the ideal time to set intentions for the coming months and beyond, but not this one.
This New Moon is also a partial Solar Eclipse, and it is the last of the Aries/Libra Eclipse series. So, this more of a ‘sit tight and wait for all to be revealed’ kind of New Moon. It is a signal of new things to come but first you need to what needs to be completed, anything left over from the last two years.
Much is changing in 2025, but much is also obscured at the moment. The consequences of changes set in motion now are still unclear.
Aries is the signature chess piece in 2025 and this Eclipse at 9 degrees of Aries is a trigger point. Venus and Mercury are also Retrograde emphasising the need for caution before making major decisions.
Eclipses can sometimes herald big announcements or sudden events. The energy of Aries can be heated, unconsidered, rash. So, restraint is called for now. Do not rush in. If something is too good to be true, then it is very likely not true under the influence of this planetary parade.
The March 29 Solar Eclipse is a partial one with a path over north-west Africa, Western Europe, Finland and Norward and faintly over Ukraine. So, these countries are likely prominent in world news. However, all will not be revealed straight away.
You can look to your own birth chart, if you know it, to see which sector of your life falls under the influence of this Aries energy. However, if you are a Fire Sign – Aries, Leo or Sagittarius – then you know that fire burns, and this can be destructive or regenerative. You are driven at the best of times. Be careful. Before acting consider whether or not something or someone has burnt a destructive trail that needs to be left behind, or if there is a possibility of something rising from the ashes. If you are an Earth Sign – Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn – then you need to manage your resources without making rash decisions. Have you heard of ‘scorched earth policy’ where an arm destroys everything that could be of use to the enemy. This is to be avoided during the Eclipse.
Air Signs – Gemini, Libra and Aquarius – are likely to see relationship matters highlighted under the influence of the New Moon and Eclipse. The advice here is to avoid rushing into a new relationship or burning your bridges in a current one. You may not have the full story right now. Water Signs – Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces – need to avoid landing in hot water, tricky emotional situations. You can take a deep dive into activities that calm agitated emotions until the waves settle.
The general message is that eclipses can be cosmic course correctors but just make sure that you have an inner compass and navigate this one with caution.
