Health, Hygiene, and Hidden Details
This month’s total lunar eclipse in Virgo (also known as a Blood Moon) brings awareness to our health and hygiene habits. It’s not the most glamorous theme, but it’s one you’ll want to take seriously. Be extra mindful of what you’re eating, how you’re preparing food, and even the quality of the air and water around you. If you’ve been ignoring a lingering health issue, this lunation could make it impossible to overlook any longer. Small oversights, like skipping hand-washing, letting leftovers sit out too long, or neglecting to check expiration dates, could have bigger consequences during this lunation.
Virgo, ruled by Mercury, is usually meticulous with details, but eclipses have a way of obscuring things. With Mercury turning retrograde the very next day, there’s a real risk of missing an important piece of information. Whether it’s a contract clause you skimmed too quickly, a miscommunication at work, or an overlooked appointment, small oversights could end up causing unnecessary setbacks.Triple-check anything that matters, and don’t assume that others are catching the fine print either.
Endings, Destiny, and the South Node
With this eclipse aligned with the South Node, something is coming to a natural close. This might be a job, a relationship, or even an outdated belief you’ve been clinging to. Unlike regular endings, which we often try to negotiate or delay, eclipses force us to surrender. If something is slipping through your fingers, let it go. Destiny is turning the page. It’s time to rewrite your story.
Neptune’s Water Crisis Meets The Eclipse
This eclipse sits directly opposite Neptune, which is in the final degree of Pisces; a position linked to water-related crises. Neptune, named after the Roman god of the sea and the counterpart to Poseidon in Greek mythology, governs oceans, tides, storms, and floods. This 29th degree can influence everything from natural disasters and rising sea levels to contamination. With the eclipse located directly across from it, these themes are especially heightened.

Lighten Up on the Criticism
Virgo’s influence can also amplify self-criticism. If you catch yourself overanalysing a conversation, nitpicking your appearance, or mentally rewriting an email ten times, pause. While it’s admirable to strive for excellence, there’s a fine line between careful consideration and unnecessary stress. Cut yourself—and others—some slack. Not everything needs to be perfect, and this eclipse is here to remind you of that.
DISCOVER HOW THIS BLOOD MOON IMPACTS YOUR SIGN. Read your Rising sign first, then look to your Sun sign for inspiration.
Aries
Your body is speaking; are you been listening? If you’ve been pushing through exhaustion, ignoring your body’s signals, or clinging to a work schedule that doesn’t support your wellbeing, this eclipse forces a reset. Check your health habits. Are they helping or hindering you? A job or responsibility may come to an abrupt end, and something you thought you had to do may suddenly be out of your hands. Trust that this space is being cleared for a reason. Elevated wellness awaits.
Taurus
Something that used to bring you joy loses its lustre. A romance could reach its final chapter, a creative passion might lose its magic, or a dream you’ve held close may no longer fit the person you’ve become. You can’t force love, inspiration, or fun. If something is slipping away, let it. Some pleasures are meant to be fleeting; they serve their purpose, then make room for new ones. And that’s perfectly okay. What replaces it will ultimately bring greater satisfaction.
Gemini
Some ties to the past are fraying. Perhaps a childhood belief, a family dynamic, or even a literal home. This eclipse shakes the foundation of where (and with whom) you feel safe and connected. You are not who you once were. A long-standing pattern, possibly an inherited belief or an old ancestral wound is ripe for healing. And with that healing comes space—space to create new beliefs, healthier family dynamics, and a deeper sense of emotional security and belonging.
Cancer
Unspoken words demand to be voiced. Whether it’s a truth withheld, a contract glossed over, or a misunderstanding left to fester, this eclipse forces clarity. Be careful with what you sign, what you say, and what you assume. A sibling, a close friend, or even a piece of knowledge may play a key role in this turning point. Some conversations will close doors forever. Some revelations will uplevel your perspective. Goodbye outdated perceptions. Hello to a mindset that honours your wisdom and worth.
Leo
A financial or moral turning point arrives. Money might appear unexpectedly or suddenly slip away. Perhaps an income stream ends, a financial agreement shifts, or an overlooked expense demands attention. But this isn’t just about numbers; it’s about values. What you once thought was worth the effort might not feel worth it anymore. If a financial opportunity is taken off the table, trust that it wasn’t as secure as you thought. This eclipse invites you to align your money mindset with your core values.
Virgo
This eclipse in your sign strips away the illusion of control. A part of your identity, how you see yourself, how others see you, or even a physical aspect of your appearance, is shifting. If you’ve been holding yourself to impossible beauty standards, a moment of reckoning arrives. The image you once defined yourself by is fading, but this isn’t a loss, it’s a transformation. Let go of worrying how others see you, and learn to love the flaws that make you beautifully unique.
Libra
There’s an invisible thread tying your past to your present, and right now, it’s unraveling. An old fear, a subconscious habit, or a spiritual belief that no longer resonates is dissolving. You don’t have to understand it, you just have to surrender to the process. If you feel more drained or detached than usual, go low and slow. Some endings aren’t meant to be loud or dramatic. They fade out quietly, leaving space for something new to emerge. You’re now stepping into a more grounded, peaceful and spiritually connected you.
Scorpio
A friendship, social group, or long-term goal is coming to its natural conclusion. You may find yourself drifting from certain people, realising an organisation or community no longer fits, or feeling strangely disconnected from a dream you once had. You didn’t fail; it simply wasn’t meant to last forever. If someone pulls away, don’t chase. If an opportunity disappears, don’t cling. Your energy is too precious for small-minded circles and dated dreams. Something richer and more aligned is waiting on the other side of the eclipse.
Sagittarius
The eclipse shifts the trajectory of your career or life’s direction. A professional role may come to an end, a personal goal you were chasing might suddenly feel pointless, or a force outside your control brings a reckoning. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to make a move, this eclipse might make it for you. Surrender. Even if you feel powerless, trust that what’s happening is part of a larger plan. Let go, and let destiny work its magic. This new direction is written in your stars.
Capricorn
An old perspective, a piece of knowledge, or even a legal matter is coming to a fated conclusion. If you’ve been clinging to a belief out of habit rather than truth, this eclipse dissolves it. Whether through travel, study, or deep personal reflection, your mind—and your skillset—is expanding. Release the old lens through which you’ve seen the world, because the new information that lands on this eclipse could be a total game-changer.
Aquarius
A money entanglement, sexual connection, or buried emotion is entering its final phase. Joint investments or financial arrangements you thought was forever may prove temporary. Yet, this isn’t about fairness; it’s about fate. The upside? You’ll emerge from this process stronger and clearer, with emotional intimacy on your terms. This new chapter brings a beautiful vulnerability and the courage to express your true desires. The eclipse is clearing space for connections that nourish your soul and your body alike.
Pisces
Some relationships are seasonal, and this eclipse is showing you which ones have run their course. A contract may end, a commitment may shift, or a connection may start to feel less certain. If something is slipping away, don’t chase it; trust that the universe knows what it’s doing. But here’s the thing: Holding on too tightly won’t change what (or who’s) meant to go. The people and partnerships meant for you won’t require force. What’s unfolding is making room for stronger, healthier, and more aligned connections ahead.
