Celestial Crossroads The astrology of Eclipse season

rethinkingfreedom



Before diving into the specific transits, here’s a quick reference to the aspects mentioned in this period:

  • Conjunction (0°) – Merging energies that intensify planetary influence. A conjunction creates a focal point for transformation.

  • Square (90°) – A tension point between planets that forces growth through challenge and friction.

  • Trine (120°) – A harmonious flow of energy, bringing ease and natural alignment in related areas.

  • Sextile (60°) – Opportunities and subtle insights that open doors for new possibilities.

  • Opposition (180°) – A balancing act between two energies that need integration and resolution.

  • Stellium- A powerful conjunction of 3 or more planets creating a solidarity of energies rather than individual energies.



The stars are speaking, and if we listen closely, we can hear the unmistakable rhythm of endings and beginnings playing out in our lives. This is a season of transition—of closing old doors so that new ones may open. The cosmos is shifting, asking us to pause, reflect, and realign with what truly matters. What unfolds over these weeks will shape the next six months, guiding us toward profound realizations and opportunities for renewal.


Astrology isn’t just about planetary movements—it’s a cosmic language that speaks to the ebbs and flows of life itself. As the Sun moves through Pisces, touching Saturn, Neptune, and the North Node, we are reminded that some things must come to a close before new pathways can emerge. These energies invite us to release, integrate, and surrender to the bigger picture unfolding. Meanwhile, Mercury and Venus retrograde in Aries push us to reconsider our desires, challenging us to ensure that what we pursue is in alignment with our soul’s highest truth.

With eclipse season upon us, we find ourselves at a crossroads. The Virgo Lunar Eclipse on March 14 and the Aries Solar Eclipse on March 29 act as cosmic mile markers, reminding us that we cannot take old baggage into new chapters.


Major Astrological Events


This journey begins with the Sun conjunct Saturn in Pisces on March 12. Saturn asks us to take responsibility, face reality, and honor the commitments that truly matter. The Sabian Symbol for this degree—“A materializing medium giving a seance”—suggests that manifestation requires sacrifice, effort, and a willingness to channel our energy into something greater than ourselves. If we’re feeling exhausted, Saturn reminds us that patience is key. What we are building will stand the test of time.


On March 17, the Sun meets the North Node in Pisces, marking a moment of divine guidance. This is a checkpoint on our path, where destiny reveals itself in subtle but powerful ways. Then, on March 19, the Sun makes its final conjunction to Neptune in Pisces at 29°—a once-in-a-lifetime closing of a profound spiritual cycle. This moment whispers of deep emotional cleansing, karmic release, and a heightened awareness of what is truly complete. If something feels distant, detached, or done, we must trust it. Allowing ourselves to surrender here brings more capacity for intuition as we lean into that self-trust. We are being prepared for the next chapter.


As we move into the total Virgo Lunar Eclipse on March 14, 12:55am MST, (Yes we can see it from North America!!) the Moon aligns with the South Node, inviting us to release perfectionism, over-analysis, and lifeless routines. Opposing a powerful Pisces stellium, this eclipse is about balance—between logic and intuition, between action and surrender. This is a time to let go of what no longer nourishes our mind, body, or soul.


That same day, the Sun forms a sextile to Uranus in Taurus, bringing unexpected breakthroughs in values, resources, and stability. If we’ve been searching for answers, they may arrive in ways we never anticipated. Mercury retrograde follows on March 15, stationing at the same degree where the Aries Solar Eclipse will occur on March 29. This signals an important foreshadowing—pay attention to themes that arise now, as they will play a role in the new beginnings coming at the end of the month. A great time to journal your deeds, feelings and intentions so there is a sense of actual progression when you look back at that time!! And please remember, if you need to sign a contract or buy electrical equipment, triple check it all during Mercury retrograde or you may very well be stuck with something you didn't bargain for. It's real friends, the 'RE-do' is real!


As March 29 arrives, the Aries Solar Eclipse ushers in a bold new phase. This is an invitation to step forward, claim our independence, and move in alignment with our deepest passions. Yet, Mercury is still retrograde, reminding us that true action requires foresight, patience, and inner clarity. This isn’t about rushing ahead—it’s about making sure our foundation is strong enough to support what comes next.


Later in the year, Neptune will return to 29° Pisces from October 22, 2025, to January 25, 2026. This will mark the final wave of energetic purging before the collective moves into a new paradigm. The work we do now—spiritually, emotionally, and energetically—will shape how we step into this next era. The choice of how to look at it, is always yours. Is life helping you or hurting you?


Finally we are STILL being invited to trust... It isn't over yet. Think of Eclipse season as a call to action.Through all of this, the universe is extending an invitation. This is not a time to force, to resist, or to fear change. Instead, we are being asked to trust the unfolding, honor the transitions, and find peace in the unknown. Let us let go of what is no longer aligned. Allow ourselves to rest in the space between stories. Know that endings are merely prologues to something greater.

Wherever we find ourselves in this cosmic dance, may we walk forward with clarity, courage, and hearts wide open to the magic of what’s to come.


With love and celestial insight,


JessiMa
