This may be a Virgo Full Moon, but there surely is a lot of sensitive, emotional, compassionate Pisces energy around for this lunation! Not to mention that this is the second Eclipse in Eclipse season, making this a super-charged Full Moon, making it a potential catalyst for profound change. Lunar Eclipses represent the culmination of the last six months, since the Solar Eclipse/Virgo New Moon on 21 September last year, So it may be worth looking back to what was being seeded at that time. A Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse can bring things to light that may have been buried or simmering away beneath the surface. Emotions also tend to be much closer to the surface, and fated events and relationship shifts can occur during this time, as we are called to take a step forward in our soul growth and move into the next chapter.
The Nodes of the Moon are always activated during an Eclipse, and in this case the Moon is sitting right next to the Virgo South Node, while the Sun is activating the Pisces North Node. Collectively, we are currently being called to the Pisces North Node in order to grow and evolve, which involves turning inward, connecting to Spirit, surrendering control and just letting go and going with the flow. The Pisces North Node reminds us to trust in the divine order of things, even if it doesn’t seem to make sense. A Virgo Full Moon can highlight any tendencies we might have to worry, or over-analyse, or “fix”, or micromanage, or to be hard on ourselves or overly perfectionistic. The Pisces North Node is calling us away from these tendencies, calling for a greater acceptance of our so called flaws and shortcomings and helping us to release any tendencies to criticise ourselves or those close to us.
The Virgo part of us might feel the need to have everything “just so”, while the Pisces North Node calls for more fluidity and capacity to simply allow things to unfold organically. Where are we being guided right now, with no effort on our part and no need to force things? What tends to bring up anxiety, and what tools do we have to help us to soothe, relax, soften, accept and allow? How can we develop a greater sense of faith and trust that we are somehow being guided in the right direction? Are we able to accept and forgive ourselves as easily as we would our friends? How possible is it to soften the lens through which we see ourselves and cut ourselves some slack? Are we able to loosen our grip and trust in the divine flow?
The Nodes are in Virgo and Pisces from 11 January 2025 until 26 July 2026, so we are approaching the end of this process. Ultimately, the Pisces North Node is calling for us to trust that we are guided and protected, rather than worrying or trying to force outcomes. The Virgo part of us can easily get caught up in a spiral of worry or anxiety, while the Pisces North Node reminds us that worrying about something doesn’t change the outcome, so it is better to do what we can to nurture feelings of faith and trust that there is a larger plan that will make sense later, and find ways of soothing our nervous systems, stilling our monkey minds and finding a place of calm and peace. Sometimes this is easier said than done, of course, but this is the growth that the Pisces North Node is offering us.
It is not about leaving the Virgo part of us behind - we are simply being called to let go of the more unhelpful traits. Virgo is a very helpful, supportive, discerning, organised, humble and service oriented sign which can help us to recognise how our thought processes, stress, habits and environment impact our health and wellbeing. Virgo can help us to work on self-care and healthy routines, recognising when we have pushed ourselves too hard, while Pisces simply calls for us to rest our nervous system through meditation, relaxation, healing, breathwork, sleep, time spent in nature and developing a greater connection to Spirit.
The ruler of the Pisces North Node is Neptune, which has recently moved into Aries and joined up with Saturn on 20 February in the very first degree of the entire zodiac. We are now in a new cycle, a new reality, a new way of existing in the world. Aries is the sign of “I am” – our identity and selfhood - and the Saturn Neptune conjunction seeded something new in us, enabling us to put down old patterns, programming and ways of being and step into a different way of operating in the world. We cleared the way while Saturn and Neptune were at the end of Pisces, releasing, grieving, letting go, forgiving, ending karmic contracts and cycles, and now here we are, and things are different, as are we. The change is quite subtle, yet clear. We are in a new phase.
Neptune in Aries doesn’t just passively let go and wait to see what happens. We are called to act on our intuition, guidance and inspiration, as Aries helps us to be brave, pioneering and willing to initiate something new, as long as it feels aligned. Eclipses can bring change, endings and new beginnings, and Neptune in Aries can help us to courageously step into a new chapter, much like the Fool in the tarot deck, jumping off the cliff with the faith and trust that this leap will lead him to where he needs to be. Sometimes things don’t make logical sense, but we are called to do it nevertheless.
Jupiter in Cancer is supporting this Moon, which is such a blessing, as it brings a sense of being guided and protected as we step into this next phase of development. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, bringing great benefit from showing our true feelings and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable. A Virgo Moon can easily bring up feelings of anxiety and overwhelm, and Jupiter can help us to work through whatever emotions come up to the surface. It helps us to find the emotional intelligence and capacity to soothe our wounded inner child if it becomes activated. Indeed, Jupiter in Cancer can really help us to understand how our inner child is still operating in our adult lives and relationships, and allow it to guide and teach us. The trine between Jupiter and the Sun will be exact on Thursday 5 March.
We have a lot of energy in Pisces right now, including Mars, who will have just moved into Pisces the day before the Full Moon. Mars in Aquarius was motivated to rebel and liberate, while Mars in Pisces acts on guidance and intuition, and is motivated by peace. Mercury is also retrograde in Pisces, calling for us to go back over the ground we have covered in the past month, and to reflect, review, rest, recuperate, redress and, if necessary, redo. We might find ourselves remembering the past, as it may have gifts and messages for us, and people might even pop up from the past, if there is something left unfinished between us. Aries season will be here soon enough, with its active, initiating energy, so in the meantime Pisces invites us to rest, recoup and recalibrate.
Pallas Athena, the goddess of wisdom, strategic planning and reason, is sitting right next to the Pisces Sun during this Moon. Pallas Athena does also represent strategic warfare, although Pisces definitely softens the energy, and brings more empathetic, compassionate, intuitive approach to her strategic planning and problem solving. She invites us to use our connection to Spirit, our inner guidance and emotional intelligence to find solutions to whatever we are facing. Pisces is the dreamer, the idealist and the empath, while Pallas Athena has a very sharp mind, so the combination could bring the potential to somehow “see” the way, and understand the bigger picture and the larger plan at work. This can help bring a calm clarity and inner knowing in the face of chaos, and maybe help us to come up with some kind of creative and intuitive plan. It can also help to keep an eye out for the signs and synchronicities that can show us the way.
Venus in Pisces and Uranus in Taurus are playing nicely with each other during this Moon, which could help us to breathe fresh air into our relationships, liberating us from stagnant, stuck patterns of relating and allowing a greater sense of space and freedom. Uranus can bring sudden realisations that allow greater clarity around our relationships, our self-worth and/or money situation. We could experience a change of perspective that could help us to make necessary changes in the way we relate to ourselves and others. Those of us with personal planets or angles around 27° of a sign will be feeling the liberating, awakening energy of Uranus the most acutely, especially in Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.
The Sabian symbol for this moon is a very interesting one indeed, at 13° Virgo: ” A powerful statesman overcomes a state of political hysteria” which Dane Rudyar describes as ”The focusing of the collective need for order and structural interdependence into a personage who incarnates the answer to this need. We are at the stage where a powerful realisation of the very purpose of the cycle of existence faces the chaotic remains of a dis-structured past. The character of the leader is always delineated by the need, subconscious though it may be, of the uniformed agglomeration of entities he is called upon by destiny to lead. In time the leader will be worshipped as the “divine Father” of the society he structured. With this symbol we see a new type of characterisation of the many-faceted polarisation of positive and negative. We have before us a personage endowed with CHARISMA, this elusive and mysterious power that comes from a man’s or woman’s openness to the power of the planetary evolution.”
A very interesting symbol, given all that is going on in the world right now! It is so very important to heed the call of the Pisces, and to do what we can to still our minds, managing any anxiety, worry, spiralling or overwhelm and soothing our nervous systems, finding a place of inner peace, compassion and the faith and trust that somehow all is as it is meant to be and there is a larger plan at work that may not make sense now, but will become clear later. For some people, meditation, breathwork, tai chi or yoga are helpful, while for others, singing, creating or dancing can bring a state of bliss, connection and oneness. This Pisces North Node is our North Star right now, inviting us to let go and allow ourselves to be guided to wherever we need to be. “Faith and Trust!” is the Pisces North Node mantra!
