It is the start of a new year and the start of a new eclipse cycle, so we might all benefit from a quick eclipse refresher.
As discussed, the recent solar eclipse began the Aquarius/Leo series. Each eclipse series lasts about 18 to 24 months across opposing signs. The trick with eclipses is that when a new series begins, an old series is still being worked. In 2026, we are still processing the Pisces/Virgo eclipses even as Aquarius/Leo ramps up.
For ease of explanation, I color coded the eclipses between 2023 and 2027.
Orange — Taurus/Scorpio
Purple — Aries/Libra
Blue — Pisces/Virgo
Red — Aquarius/Leo
Green — Capricorn/Cancer

Do you see how the colors ping pong?
Are there years that felt more troublesome than others? Hand raises for 2024. Blech.
In any given year we are working two teams of signs with their lessons and themes. Some years a third set rolls in. That will happen in 2027 when Pisces/Virgo taps out and Capricorn/Cancer taps in.
This Virgo full moon eclipse which is a blood moon meaning it will look the color of rust if you happen to catch it in the sky. This eclipse is part of the series that started September of 2024. The Moon in Virgo wants to figure everything out. Dot every I. Cross every T. Check off the list. In an eclipse, the Sun and North Node in Pisces drag us toward something more mystical, dreamy, and less contained. Things melt. The first casualty is often our list, our plans, and our schedule.
Pisces/Virgo eclipses can feel like a mini-Mercury retrograde where things go sideways and emotions dip into sadness, heaviness, or ennui. Pisces can amplify loneliness. Virgo can amplify self-critique.
With mutable signs, the solution is not collapse. It is pivot.
This eclipse may show where your daily routines are no longer aligned with who you are now. Or where your habits are not supporting your larger goals. Virgo is talented at organization and duty but often loses sight of the bigger picture.
Virgo’s ruling planet is Mercury, and Mercury is retrograde. Yes, something important could go wrong. But consider setbacks as information. A fact-finding mission. For example, if loneliness surfaces, ask what’s underneath it. Virgo asks practical questions.
Is that exercise right for your body now?
Have you checked in with your doctor about meds or supplements?
What is happening with your diet?
Did you move but still drive to your old dry cleaner?
Are you saying yes to people or plans that no longer match who you are?
Is something in your daily rhythm out of sync?
Have you reviewed your goals lately?
There is some support in this eclipse. The Moon sextiles Jupiter and the Sun trines Jupiter, suggesting flow and perspective. Jupiter can help reframe a hurdle into a larger purpose.
Lastly, consider this.
If you could return to September 17, 2024, March 13, 2025, September 7, 2025, or September 21, 2025, what would you adjust? What would the present you tell the past you about details and faith? What small daily change would you make?
The good news is that you can make those changes now. By the time we reach the final Virgo lunar eclipse next winter, you could be in a very different place.
