SOLAR ECLIPSE NEW MOON IN ARIES✨🌑♈🎇
March 29, 2025
“Reclaim Yourself”
Every solar eclipse is a pause in the cosmic flow—a moment when darkness veils the light, not to extinguish it, but to renew it.
With an eclipse in Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, the energy is raw, untamed, and fiercely initiating. The light that temporarily dims will not fade; it will reignite with greater intensity, urging you to step boldly into a new chapter, even if you do not yet know where the path leads.
The New Moon—partial Solar Eclipse at 9° Aries, on March 29 at 12:57 PM (Greece time), as a North Node eclipse, directs you toward your destiny. It works for your evolution, opening new pathways, provided you integrate past lessons, release old ways, and surrender to new possibilities with trust in your instinct and inner power.
This solar eclipse which primarily impacts the Cardinal signs—Aries, Libra, Cancer, and Capricorn—with personal planets and key points between 6° and 12°, is a portal of change, transformation and reinvention, you can cross through with courage, self-awareness, and a willingness to embrace deeper truths.
Especially because this is the final one in a series of six eclipses in the Aries-Libra axis that began in April 2023. Moreover, it opposes the degree of the last Solar Eclipse in Libra from October 2024 signaling that changes have already been set in motion, reshaping your life’s landscape—reprogramming roles, identities, ambitions, contracts, personal relationships, and the overall direction of your path.
A similar influence may have been experienced during the spring to autumn of 2006, under a Solar Eclipse that also occurred near this degree.
All the lessons of this current eclipse cycle are nearing completion, and over the next six months—the minimum duration of an eclipse’s effect—you are called to heal what has previously constrained and hindered your actions. You need to examine where you were inauthentic, where you compromised your desires and needs, and release outdated patterns and repetitive cycles in order to move into something entirely new.
The Sabian symbol 9° Aries, “A man gazes intently at a crystal ball.” speaks of clarity, inner vision, and prophetic insight, urging us to restore our connection with our inner world and align with our truth to find all the answers.
Meanwhile, 10° Aries “A man teaching new forms of old symbols,“ reflects the need to view old truths from a fresh perspective, to adapt the wisdom of the past to the present. It reminds us to stop clinging to the old symbols of a world that is fading so that we can make space for new meanings that will shape a different future.
This eclipse lays the foundation for a new era, one that will shift collective consciousness and experience, as just one day later, Neptune enters Aries for the first time in 164 years, opening a new spiritual chapter and birthing new dreams.
For now, retrograde Mercury and Venus, invite us to take a step back before moving forward—to ensure that our next steps align with our values, visions, and evolving sense of self.
The wide conjunction of retrograde Mercury with the eclipse, 0° Aries, signifies a need for self-reflection, a shift in perspective, and patience in decision-making. Some choices must be reconsidered, while others require time to unfold. As Mercury will soon dive into Pisces’ mystical waters to meet Neptune, we are called to release the past, forgive, and receive new divine guidance from our subconscious, higher self, and Source.
Mercury’s journey—from Aries (the beginning of existence) to Pisces (the end of existence)—symbolizes the initiatory nature of this eclipse. Mercury’s dance with retrograde Venus, along with their recent Cazimi-conjunction with the Sun mark a death and rebirth of the mind and heart. This is a recalibration of destiny—a cosmic purification that reshapes how we love, connect, and appreciate life.
This is the moment to examine illusions and idealizations surrounding love, relationships, finances, values, and creativity. To recognize what nourishes your soul and what leaves you feeling uncertain.
Just before the eclipse, Venus conjuncts Neptune in Pisces for the last time in our lifetime, marking the final lesson:
You manifest and evolve through faith, surrender, and alignment—not through attachment.
You cannot sacrifice yourself endlessly for relationships or circumstances that do not truly nurture you. If you have lost your boundaries and drowned in oceans of illusions, fantasies, self-pity, this is alignment whispers: Love deeply, but do not lose yourself. Give, but do not sacrifice everything.
The sextiles between the Moon, Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Aries with Pluto have triggered profound alchemical processes at the core of our being, enabling us to find strength within our darkness and shed outdated desires and beliefs. It is a time to rewrite our narratives and reclaim our authenticity.
The eclipse’s ruler, Mars in Cancer, in trine with Saturn and sextile with Uranus, supports stable yet innovative actions that ensure security and protection, both for ourselves and for what we cherish.
The trine between Mars and the North Node signifies that our decisive actions are guiding us toward our destiny, bringing supportive alliances along the way. Additionally, its mutual reception between Mars and the Moon suggests that emotions are now highly intense fueling motivation. With Mars being out-of-bounds until early May, you have the potential to go further than ever before.
Yet, Mars squaring Chiron in Aries—forming its third exact aspect on March 26, following previous alignments in October and February—reveals the tension between the urge to act and the weight of old wounds. This aspect exposes our vulnerabilities, yet also underscores the necessity of healing and transcending pain. It serves as a final test before a new, more enlightened beginning. It reveals that trauma is not the end but the catalyst for reclaiming personal power.
This is the call to return to the battlefield, even if you believe you might be hurt again. It’s a cosmic push to break free from the chains of fear and move forward with greater awareness.
You may be in pain, but you can still fight. You may be suffering, but you can still win.
On a global level, this eclipse may trigger dynamic shifts in politics, changes in leadership, international alliances, and military strategies. There could also be redefinitions of individual and collective identity, personal freedom, minority rights, and social justice. With the retrograde planets, disruptions may extend into economic systems, shaped by new values and emerging market needs.
On a personal level, this solar eclipse acts as a gateway to a new version of yourself, asking you to courageously close cycles and make a bold restart.
Reflect on April 2023, when this eclipse cycle began in Aries:
How has your journey unfolded since then? How have you transformed evolved, and rediscovered yourself? What new parts of yourself have emerged? Where have you found courage and new wisdom? What is shifting in your life and coming to an end?
This eclipse asks you to look into your inner fire, to stand bravely in your desires, and to accept that renewal requires letting go of what no longer serves you.
Let this time fill you with love, pride, and gratitude for how far you’ve come.
Let this eclipse help you recognize that you are here, exactly where you need to be, ready for the next step.
The most important question is not just “What do you want to begin?” but “Who do you want to become now that you have seen your own darkness?”
Blessed Eclipse to all!✨🌑🎇🕊☮
With love💓💓💓
