Eclipses act as thresholds of profound change: they clearly reveal which cycles have come to an end and push us to move forward where we have long resisted. Because this is a Moon eclipse, it marks an important closure and, occurring at the South Node, it intensifies the need to let go of relationships, dynamics, or jobs that no longer contribute, eclipsing what keeps us from our soul’s purpose.
This will be the penultimate eclipse in Virgo in the Pisces-Virgo saga that began in 2024. In the sky, the Moon opposes a large stellium in Pisces —with the Sun, Mercury retrograde, Venus and Mars—, pressing to let go of control and self-imposed demands to surrender to the natural flow of life. Although everything may seem messy or confusing right now, trust that that chaos has its own order. There is nothing to control, because what unravels now is what will allow a new balance to emerge. Specifically, this eclipse represents the manifestation and the definitive closure of a situation that has been developing since September of last year. What no longer works in your life and needs to be released?
This is a period in which female figures could be eclipsed and cycles close to open a new path. It is important to note that, in Moon eclipses, it is not recommended to make major decisions or perform rituals. This eclipse will have a greater impact on the signs Virgo, Pisces, Gemini and Sagittarius, affecting key areas such as personal life, partnerships or relationship ties, home, family, and profession.
Below, you will find a reflection question and an affirmation for both your sun sign and your rising sign, which will help you integrate the energy of this eclipse and release with greater consciousness.
With this eclipse, changes or closures in the work sphere could occur.

Am I demanding too much of myself or others, creating imbalance in my connections?
