Eclipses 2025 – how to get ready for these events?

Pacific Time Zone | GMT -7 Standard; GMT -6 Daylihgt

Eclipses are very important events in Astrology, and they usually attract the attention of many people. However, while some await for this phenomenon with enthusiasm and excitement, others see it with a certain fear. Learn all about the Eclipses of 2025!

And this is not a fact from now. Since ancient times, eclipses were already seen with apprehension: imagine that you are living your day normally, and suddenly, “something” blocks the sunlight and the day turns into night for a few minutes. Or, on a quiet night, you are watching the Moon and it suddenly “disappears” from the sky. Scary, isn’t it? Today we have all the information around us to reassure us, but in the past it was not like that.

In addition, eclipses are generally associated with turbulent events, catastrophes and sudden changes. After all, they involve the occultation of one of the luminaries, the Sun and the Moon, our sources of light. They are more important on a collective level, but can bring deep reflections on a personal level – like everything in Astrology (and in life), eclipses also bring their lessons!

Before we take a look at the dates of the Eclipses in 2025, let’s better understand what an eclipse is and its importance for Astrology.

What is the meaning of an Eclipse?

The word “eclipse” comes from Latin and means disappearance. This phenomenon involves, in fact, the momentary disappearance of one of the luminaries (Sun or Moon), and occurs when we have an alignment between the Earth, the Sun and the Moon.

Eclipses occur every year when a lunation (New Moon or Full Moon) occurs near the lunar nodes – non-visible points that mark the intersection of the Moon’s orbit and the ecliptic (the apparent path of the Sun). Thus, an eclipse can cause a total or partial darkening of the Sun or the Moon.

Eclipses 2025: Solar Eclipses x Lunar Eclipses

A Solar Eclipse occurs on the New Moon, when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, hiding the king star in a partial or total way!

Important to know: not every New Moon is a Solar Eclipse, but every Solar Eclipse occurs on a New Moon!

On the other hand, a Lunar Eclipse occurs on a Full Moon, when the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun, casting its shadow over the Moon and thus hiding it, totally or partially.

Important to know: not every Full Moon is a Lunar Eclipse, but every Lunar Eclipse occurs on a Full Moon!

What is the effect of an Eclipse and how can it affect your life?

Eclipses are more important on a collective level, and they are related to turbulent and complex events. Political and environmental issues, for example, are almost always associated with these phenomena.

Another interesting point is that eclipses are more important in the regions where they are visible, and can therefore have a greater or lesser impact on a given continent, country or region, according to its visibility.

On a personal level, I think it is very important to evaluate the connection of these events with the natal chart. The most important thing is to check if there is any angle or planet in the same degree as the eclipse occurs – in this case, the eclipse will be more important. However, it is also worth see the signs involved to evaluate in which astrological house the eclipse will “enter”, and with which matters and areas of life it will be involved.

In a general way, eclipses can bring a lot of intensity and rummage some important issues – mainly internal ones. They can also symbolize the difficulty in obtaining clarity or seeing something important in our lives – requiring even more awareness and reflection on our part.

On eclipse days, it is recommended to avoid rituals, beginning activities, launching projects, changes and even important dialogues. The ideal is to invest in introspection, more quiet and silent moments, protecting our energy.

Finally, eclipses can be related to the end of cycles: something can be erased or ended during these periods!

Now that you know the importance and meanings of an Eclipse, let’s take a look at the dates of these Eclipses 2025 and what we can expect from each one.

Eclipses Timeline in 2025

• 

  Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo – degree 23

  March 14 – 03:56 am

  The first eclipse of the year will happen in March, and it will be a Total Lunar Eclipse involving the opposite signs: Virgo and Pisces. Actually, it is very important to find out in which houses of your natal chart you have these two signs because they will be involved in almost all of the eclipses of the year.

  Well, as we saw, an eclipse involves a momentary occultation, so the point of attention here, in a general way, is due to the lack of objectivity and planning in life, especially with habits, organization and routine. It is worth reflecting about this: is there anything that could be harming your habits and planning of things? How can you add more practicality and agility to your days, leaving dispersion and confusion aside?

  The planet Saturn will be involved in this Full Moon, which can make the atmosphere even more intense and confusing. If possible, avoid excessive tasks and commitments, too much agitation, important matters, changes and activities on March 13 and 14. Invest in moments of introspection and more quiet activities!

• 

  Partial Solar Eclipse in Aries – degree 9

  March 29 – 07:58 am

  After the Lunar Eclipse, we will have a Solar Eclipse still in March. This will be a Partial Eclipse and will occur in the sign of Aries.

  This solar eclipse invites you to reflect about your strength, initiative and drive. Where are you using these energies in your life? How is the dosage of this Aries strength?

  This solar eclipse in Aries also requires you to assess your courage — something you may have difficulty to see. How can you bring it out of the shadows and finally activate it?

• 

  Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces – degree 15

  September 07 – 03:10 pm

  After a break from eclipses, the next one arrives in September, being a Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces. Will we have a lot of sensitivity involved, yes or yes?

  This eclipse activates again the Pisces-Virgo axis, with a greater focus now on Pisces issues. In the collective sphere, news involving “water” may be more frequent, such as accidents and environmental events around the world.

  On an individual level, this will be a very internal and intimate moment, which requires introspection and observation of each feeling that appears. After all, emotions can gain intensity, and it can be more difficult to understand them due to a lack of clarity.

  Another point that requires attention here is communication: Mercury will be close to the Sun, involved in this eclipse, and it can be interesting to avoid important conversations on this day.

  Do not forget to evaluate if there are any planet or angle close to the degree of this eclipse. See which house you have the signs of Pisces and Virgo in to identify the matters and areas of life involved.

  Partial Solar Eclipse in Virgo – degree 29

  September 21 – 04:53 pm

  To end the Eclipses 2025, still in September we will have another eclipse occurring in the sign of Virgo (yes, still on the Virgo-Pisces axis so that we can understand for good all the lessons involved), but this time it will be a solar eclipse.

  The sign of Virgo is associated with routine, planning and care – including attention to the body and health. And the Sun, our king star, represents vitality, energy and awareness. With the Moon partially hiding its light at the time of the eclipse, health issues can require greater attention and reflection during this period. Your exercise, diet, sleep, and health routine — your greatest asset — how are they doing? Is there something you are leaving aside, not wanting to watch and deal with?

  This last eclipse will also have the involvement of Saturn, which will be doing an opposition to the luminaries. With this, we can perceive a more intense and complex atmosphere, being important to be careful with conflicts on this day!

  Important: do not look directly at the Sun during a solar eclipse, okay? In case you want to observe the phenomenon, use protective glasses or appropriate equipment!

Finally, eclipses symbolize more turbulent and intense periods, but they can also bring deep questionings. In addition, they bring opportunities to evaluate what is not on track and, if necessary, invest in changes and closures!

Oh, and do not forget to go deeper by connecting the dates, degrees and signs with your natal chart! 🙂
