The Virgo Full Moon
Virgo Full Moon & Lunar Eclipse: A Portal for Change, Healing, and Practical Transformation
The Virgo Full Moon is not just any Full Moon—it’s a Lunar Eclipse, intensifying its energy and marking a turning point. Eclipses act as cosmic reset buttons, bringing sudden clarity, endings, and revelations that push us toward alignment. Virgo, symbolised by the Maiden, calls for refinement, healing, and grounded action, making this eclipse a powerful moment to clear away what no longer serves you and create space for what truly matters.
The Themes of Virgo
Virgo is the sign of self-improvement, wellbeing, and service. It invites you to release perfectionism, prioritise your health, and focus on the details that create long-term stability. Under this eclipse, you may experience sudden insights about your daily habits, work, or emotional patterns—leading to lasting transformation.
For this 2025 Virgo Full Moon on 14th March at 23° just before 7am UK time
I am feeling this one intensely as it falls opposite my sun and loosely the rest of my Pisces Stellium. It feels like a real falling to earth, to be grounded, to be open to practical, tangible changes. The harsh side of Virgo is the inner critic- the perfectionist. Nothing is ever good enough. If you stop and listen, do you have this inner voice that actually you really don’t want to spend time with? This moon feels like a call to fully stop and LISTEN. What do you want to chose to listen to? The habit of being harsh on ourselves is the path well trodden in our brain and it is hard to forge new pathways, but we know it can be done with intention and repetition. Catch yourself with the small thoughts of “you idiot” "or “you never learn do you?” or “well it works for them but clearly not me” or “one day when I’ve done xxx only THEN I’ll be happy.”
It’s easy not to realise that we have a CHOICE to listen to it or not. It’s in the pause that we can catch ourselves. Thinking how we’d want to be spoken to, or how we’d speak to our kids or someone we love. For me, this feels deeply connected with Gene Key 22 - my conscious sun. With this full Moon opposite this gate, it’s asking us to be compassionate to ourselves because beating ourselves up achieves nothing. It only keeps us small and distracts us from our own power. The power IS within us, not some external source.
As it’s an eclipse this is all about surrender. Trusting that what comes through will be the right thing even if it doesn’t feel like it at the time.
Where does it fall in your chart?
Which house is Virgo in within your natal chart? For me it falls within my 10th House so brings up themes of career, recognition, achievement (yes I’m experiencing that! I just updated my offerings and am building a big new offering!). View a quick summary of the house themes here.
To check yours, pull up your chart on https://www.astro.com/cgi/chart.cgi and check where the Virgo sign is (the the green ‘M’ type shape)- check the house number in the middle of the chart. You can click the ‘add transits’ button to get the green transit symbols on the outside of the circle as shown below.
Note also if you have any other placements within Virgo- I just have my Midheaven. If you have planets nearby, they will be activated with this eclipse so it’ll be extra potent for you!
I also offer readings if you want my personal insights on your chart.
The South Node in Virgo
The last time the south node was in Virgo was June 2006 to December 2007- This is a chance to reflect back on those times…
What happened and what did you create in this time connected to Virgo themes? What opportunities came up? . You may be revisiting some of the same themes as this cycle comes round again. As we are talking about the south node now, this is an opportunity for releasing old patterns than no longer serve you.
Virgo Modality: Mutable
As a mutable sign, Virgo represents adaptability and transition. This eclipse accelerates change, helping you shed outdated routines, belief systems, and patterns that have kept you stuck. It’s a time to surrender control and allow necessary shifts to unfold.
Virgo Element: Earth
Earth signs, like Virgo, ground us in the physical world. This element encourages practical action, embodiment, and creating a strong foundation for growth. With the eclipse’s energy amplifying Virgo’s influence, focusing on health, organisation, and stability can bring clarity amidst change.
Herbs, Metals, and Crystals Linked to Virgo Energy…
Herbs: Rosemary (mental clarity), Peppermint (focus), and Chamomile (soothing).
Metal: Mercury, Virgo’s ruling planet, associated with intellect, healing, and communication.
Crystals: Clear Quartz (clarity), Green Aventurine (healing), and Hematite (grounding).
Mythological Connections
Virgo is often linked to Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, who represents nourishment, cycles of growth, and the power of tending to what truly matters. Her story reminds us that healing and transformation take time, patience, and deep care. An eclipse in Virgo reflects a major shift in these areas—inviting you to harvest the lessons of the past and plant new seeds for the future.
The Completion a of a 6 Month Cycle
This Full Moon marks the culmination of the Virgo cycle that began with the Virgo New Moon six months ago. However, because it’s a Lunar Eclipse, this is not just a moment of reflection—it’s a turning point. Eclipses close doors and open new ones, often in unexpected ways. You may receive insights about your purpose, health, work, or service to the world. Trust that whatever is being revealed is guiding you toward greater alignment.
Simple Virgo Full Moon & Eclipse Rituals
Ground and Cleanse: Clear your space with sage or rosemary. Stand barefoot on the earth to ground yourself in the present.
Eclipse Release Writing: Write down habits, patterns, or limiting beliefs you’re ready to let go of. Burn the paper safely to symbolise transformation.
Co-Create with the Universe As eclipses bring fated changes, set intentions not for control but for trust—ask the universe to guide you toward what’s best for your growth and be open as to how that happens.
