New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse
March 29, 2025
9˚Aries; 3:58 AM PDT
This is the final eclipse in the Aries / Libra polarity.
The first eclipse in this series was in April 2023.
Aries and Libra can look forward to some relief as this eclipse polarity wanes in the coming months. The Nodes, (the keepers of the eclipses) have now moved off these two signs. The sign of the transiting Dragons Tail, South Node, signals a time period of challenge for that sign, and although we have one last eclipse, many Libra's have begun to feel some reprieve.
Virgo is now hosting the Dragons Tail, which asks Virgo to make some changes that require letting go and completion.
~~~
This is a partial eclipse; not as powerful as the earlier March Eclipse.
~~~
The Lord of the Eclipse is the planet Mars which is the planet associated with the sign of Aries, and represents a new beginning in the Aries New Moon eclipse region of your chart. The Aries birthdays of March 29, 30, 31, and Libra birthdays of October 1, 2, 3, will feel it the strongest. Check your Ascendant and personal planets as well.
Over the next six months, all topics that relate to Aries will be underscored. Because both the Sun and Moon are in the masculine sign of Aries, ruled by Mars, this eclipse is action oriented and assertive; more comfortable making a move than patiently waiting. The message is “go for it” or to borrow the iconic ad from Nike, “just do it”. (Ideally, wait until after the eclipse week to assert, and take the current retrogrades into account.) You may have no planets in Aries or Libra, however, those regions of your chart will be energized.
~~~
Aries is not known to be patient;
this is an impatient New Moon Solar Eclipse.
~~~
The eclipse calls attention to new beginnings, stirs passions, and supports a courageous spirit. With close proximity to the planet of ideals, Neptune, the eclipse encourages one to heed the call, to take a stand and step up for our ideals and what we believe in. The Fire sign eclipses are motivating, action oriented and inspiring. Aries eclipses are a call to action, and can also be associated with disputes and controversies.
Pertaining to the USA Chart
The ruler of the eclipse, Mars, is in the financial region in the natal chart of the USA; the region of monies that we share with others. This is where your financial contribution plans are found in the USA chart, as well as Social Security.
Mars in this region indicates this topic is not going away quickly. (FYI, note the image of the chainsaw is symbolically Mars.)The SE Mars is conjunct the USA natal Mars and Mercury. This suggests argument and conflict related to these topics. Mars opposes USA Pluto, suggesting bitter power struggles are afoot with themes of anger. Mars will stir up the collective voice (Mercury).
Near the New Moon, Neptune, the planet known to be confusing and vague, is flanked by a retrograde Venus on one side and retrograde Mercury on the other. We might say Neptune is influencing these planets; situations related to communication, partnerships and finances are not straightforward, and are lacking clarity. Trajectories are shifting. Stay informed and do your research. Caution is advised around finances, partnerships, and messaging.
Backtracking
Of note, the “Signal” controversy took place March 13,
the day of the Lunar eclipse.
Have a great April.
Let's make it so!
