Blood Moon makes it sound very ‘woo-woo’ but the logic of it is just that Earth is between the Sun and the Moon. The light from the Sun is being reflected by Earth’s atmosphere, causing more red and orange lights to illuminate the Moon. What’s really happening, is a lunar eclipse.
Lunar eclipses happen when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, exactly similar in both longitude and latitude. You may not necessarily see it depending on where you are on Earth, but it will affect your life especially if the sign it’s happening in are in your 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th houses. Also, if you have planets aspecting the degrees of which the eclipses are happening at.
While the occurrences of full and new moons are common, every month (two weeks apart), eclipses happen only every 6 months, when the new/full moons are near the lunar nodes.
The Virgo lunar eclipse (full moon) will happen on 14 March 2025, 2:52pm, Singapore time, while the Aries Solar Eclipse (new moon) will happen on 29 March 2025, 6:58pm, Singapore time.
What does Lunar Eclipse in Virgo mean?
Lunar Eclipse in Virgo generally means letting go of what is no longer of use to us in reaching our goals. This could be related to work, our routines in our daily lives, being of service to others, our health and overanalysing everything. To be more practical, structured and have a plan in place to achieve what we want.
It’s not a time to blindly hope to achieve certain goals or start new projects. It’s a time to let go, release, clear out the rubbish or set free things that don’t align with our higher selves.
What does it mean for you based on your rising sign?
Over the course of the next 6 months from 14 March 2025, the house in which you have Virgo in will be affected, as well as any other natal placements you have that are aspecting 23rd degree of Virgo.
Aries Rising
Affecting your 6th house of routines/health/co-workers/work. Are you ‘functioning’ according to your own wishes? Or are you dragging and doing something that isn’t beneficial to you? It may be a time to let go of what’s not serving you in your daily life so that you can start to align yourself towards what you truly want to be doing. This may even involve taking a break from your daily routines.
Your chart ruler, Mars is also in Cancer where it’s considered being in its Fall sign. There could be some action you want to take at home or with your inner security but you may not know what to do. It’s also squaring your Chiron in the first house of self and Part of Fortune in the 7th house, not knowing to assert yourself or achieve balance/harmony with others or your spouse.
Taurus Rising
Affecting your 5th house of romance, children and self-expression. Your version of ‘play’ may be to be more practical in every sense. But now is the time to actually have some fun. Could potentially be towards romance or your relationship with your children. Don’t let the past affect any new connections that may present themselves to you.
Your chart ruler, Venus is in the 12th house of Aries, retrograde and considered to be in its detriment, conjunct Mercury. Letting others affect your sense of self, diminishing into the background and taking a break from being too assertive, it’s a good time to calm your thoughts and maybe even meditate.
Gemini Rising
Affecting your 4th house of family, parents, home and emotional security. It’s a good time to let go of any responsibilities that are hindering you from achieving your highest goals. If hiring some help at home would make space for your emotions or time, to be able to focus better at work, or function to the best of your abilities in your life, do it.
Your chart ruler Mercury is in the 11th house of Aries, conjunction Venus retrograde. Asserting yourself more especially with friends will help you in being able to communicate yourself better or achieve certain goals, especially after an incident that made you cautious in your relationships with others.
Cancer Rising
Affecting your 3rd house of communication and beliefs. Some thoughts you have, which are comfortable and have abided to, are restricting you from growth. Listen to others who challenge your beliefs, and communicate your fears/doubts. You’ll learn something new, especially if it’s something you said but didn’t believe in or meant.
Your chart ruler, the Moon is in the 3rd house of Virgo, feeling the effects of the lunar eclipse even more.
Leo Rising
Affecting your 2nd house of inner values, material possessions and wealth. Re-internalise the value of which money brings for you. Is it keeping you stuck in a certain situation? It’s time to let go of certain values you have towards money in order to find yourself again. This may lead you to deeper connections not only with yourself but with others.
Your chart ruler, the Sun is in the 8th house of Pisces, enabling you to have an easier time of letting go of certain values in order to create deeper connections with others, or to truly find what it is you want on a deeper level.
Virgo Rising
Affecting your 1st house of self, and then towards all areas of your life. Your self-worth, always helping others or being so focused on practicality or planning, needs to be tuned. You may be giving too much of yourself for ‘validation’, or doing too much micromanaging of your life. Tune it in such a way that it’s not extreme, but rather to a level in which your optimum effort is doing its optimum effectiveness. This could also relate to any bad habits that you have, letting go of them for the better.
Your chart ruler, Mercury is in the 8th house of Aries, conjunction retrograde Venus. You may have a harder time trying to find your way, communicating or relating to others especially when you need to assert yourself or do things for yourself. Try to look at things from a bigger perspective and not on a minute or detail oriented level.
Libra Rising
Affecting your 12th house of unconscious, spirituality and isolation. You may have been or feel like you want a break from everything and just bask in your own company in the comfort of no one. But it’s a good time to heal and let go of past hurts or trauma that is still instilled in your subconscious.
Your chart ruler, Venus is in the 7th house of Aries, retrograde and conjunct Part of Fortune and Mercury. If need be, assess your relationship with others to see if they are helping you grow or overpowering you. Speak about the situation with them and where you’re coming from.
Scorpio Rising
Affecting your 11th house of friendships and hopes/wishes. You need to let go of being so critical of your friends or of friendships who are weighing you down. You may also have certain goals that you’re aligning yourself with which may not necessarily be in your favour. Let go of overachievement.
Your chart ruler, Mars is in the 9th house of Cancer, squaring Chiron in Aries in the 6th house. You may have some difficulty with your daily routines, especially taking action more for yourself. Try to let go of any situation that is no longer serving you or restricting you from achieving your higher self.
Sagittarius Rising
Affecting your 10th house of career. It’s a time to let go of certain goals in your career that you want to achieve. Over working in your career, especially if it’s for goals that don’t align with what you truly want won’t be beneficial. Reassess what it is that truly makes you happy in life, on an inner core level.
Your chart ruler Jupiter is in Gemini in the 7th house, considered its detriment. Relationships with others may affect what you want to achieve and what you feel comfortable with. After being challenged, focus on what you feel safe and comfortable with on an inner core level.
Capricorn Rising
Affecting your 9th house of travel, philosophical approach, higher learning or even religion. Overarching beliefs that you have subscribed to are not making you grow in the direction that’s best for you. It’s time to let go of mass beliefs and focus on what you truly feel you align with, on a ‘you’ basis.
Your chart ruler Saturn is in the 3rd house of Pisces conjunct the Sun, North Node and Neptune. It’s going to make it a bit easier to let go of what others think and focus on what you truly believe in, albeit still with lessons and certain restrictions.
Aquarius Rising
Affecting your 8th house of loss and shared finances. You may encounter some sort of loss during this period, especially regarding shared finances. Let go of any value in which that loss holds with your own values of yourself. The loss is just helping you step more into your own power. However, if you are gaining from someone’s loss, still ensure that the result brings something that truly aligns with your inner values.
Your chart ruler Saturn is in the 2nd house of Pisces conjunct the Sun, North Node and Neptune. Focus on your inner values and doing what you think is right, and let go of any external influence, even if it is coming from your spouse.

Affecting your 7th house of spouse and relationships. There could be certain issues with your spouse or with others in which you seem to be catering to. Analyse what it is about the situation or person and see if you truly need him/her in your life. May be a period of letting go of people who no longer align with your higher self or who don’t have the best interests for you.
Your chart ruler Jupiter is in the 4th house of Gemini, considered its detriment. Issues with your home, communication and inner security will affect your sense of self and relationships with others. Focus on your sense of self and what you personally think is right for yourself.
