On Mar. 14 at 6:35 pm EST we will have a lunar eclipse. This is the first of 6 eclipses in the signs of Pisces/Virgo that we will experience over the next 18 months. The eclipse cycles press us to become conscious of problem areas that have been overlooked or ignored. Occasionally we are surprised by the circumstances that develop around eclipses, but usually we know at some level what needs to be repaired. Eclipses emphasize different effects for each of the zodiac signs. Read your sun sign (and your rising, if you know it) below to learn what the new Virgo eclipses are saying to you.
Aries (Mar. 20--Apr. 19):
The new eclipse series emphasizes your need for internal order and self-reflection. You must remain true to your deepest self and maintain faith that time will yield the secular opportunities that you crave. Consider hypnosis or meditation, psychotherapy, dream work or journaling as resources to help you contemplate. Solitude can be healing now. Streamlining daily routines will help you preserve time for thought.
Taurus (Apr. 20--May 19):
Involvement in your community, networking, and developing friendships will be occupying an important role during the next 18 months. You have lessons to learn about discerning who is truly a friend. Those with children must concentrate on fostering those relationships. Some may decide against having babies. This eclipse series may yield a critical turn in the area of love life and personal creativity.
Gemini (May 20--June 20):
There will be emphasis on career, life goals, and community reputation. Honors may develop in coming months if you have previously built a solid foundation. Family members plead for more attention in subtle and overt ways. Property may require repair, rejuvenation, or replacement. Family patterns are changing. You may experience a sense of loss, but renewal occurs in its wake.
Cancer (June 21--July 21):
Legal, ethical or educational issues are emphasized by the eclipses of the next 18 months. Travel is punctuated, whether it be of body, mind, or spirit. Exposure to those of different backgrounds or cultures opens your heart and leads you in new directions. A household move may be on the way.
Leo (July 21--Aug 22):
The eclipse pattern emphasizes issues of sexuality, intimacy, and material accumulation. Your attitudes in these areas need renewal. Reorganization of debt and investments may be in progress. You may be more conscious than usual about existential matters related to life, death, and what is on "the other side" of normal, waking consciousness. You may feel compelled to arrange your will or estate.
Virgo (Aug. 22--Sep. 22):
The eclipses of this 18 month series focus attention upon your partnerships. What is your pattern in Significant Relationships? What needs to be repaired or improved? How might you contribute to a fuller, richer life for yourself as well as the important persons in your life? It is crucial to search out solutions that favor everyone involved in the relationship.
Libra (Sep. 23--Oct. 22):
It is important for the Librans to concentrate on improvement of work related relationships and health maintenance. Diet, exercise and improvement of physical regimen will serve you well. Honing your management systems in personal and work arenas is necessary to improve the efficiency of the daily work routine. You must balance concerns of recent years with better self-care.
Scorpio (Oct. 23--Nov. 21):
The eclipse pattern emphasizes your progeny, personal creativity, and new romance. Intense experiences may come through one or more of these areas to open your world. Both errors and successes in parenting and / or creative work will be revealed. Allow dissolution of friendships and associations that no longer serve you well. Make room for fresh creativity.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22--Dec. 20):
Matters concerning your family will be accented. Old problems in relationships, even with the deceased, are brought to consciousness for cleansing and healing. A new family member may enter the scene. Property and real estate matters require concentration. Bringing career into alignment with your true self is an important focus. That which doesn't genuinely fit must be rearranged or eliminated.
Capricorn (Dec. 21--Jan. 19):
The accent of the new eclipse series is on travel, education, care of vehicles and relationships to siblings, roommates, neighbors, or others who daily traverse your life. Lifelong habit patterns of thought must be reviewed. Negative thinking must be corrected, habits of speech and communication improved. Now is the time to focus on learning new and practical life skills.
Aquarius (Jan. 20--Feb. 17):
This eclipse series accents your personal and financial resources. Greater awareness is demanded related to your expenditures of time, energy and money. Debts need to be repaid. If there are income tax issues, they may surface over the next 18 months. You need to eliminate or recycle whatever is no longer useful in your life. Conditions of intimate life must be renewed.
Pisces (Feb. 18--Mar. 19):
Your personal identity is the subject under consideration. Who are you becoming and who do you need to be? How do you wish to define yourself before the world? How can you develop an individual identity that is workable while simultaneously maintaining a personally rewarding relationship? These are prime questions of the eclipses in your sign for the next 18 mo.
