On March 29, 2025, we will experience a new moon partial solar eclipse in the sign of Aries. This transit encourages new beginnings, inviting us to step out of our comfort zone and pursue new paths if the one you are on is not taking you where you want to be. Aries, the first sign of the zodiac is renowned for its dynamic, fiery energy. The mantra for the sign of Aries is “I am”, symbolizing the traits of courage and self-assertion.
Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, temporarily blocking the Sun’s light. Astrologically, these events are associated with significant transformations, marking periods of endings and new beginnings. The impact of eclipses are often felt most profoundly in the area of life represented by the house in your personal natal chart where the eclipse occurs. Understanding the house placement of the eclipse in your personal chart can provide valuable insights as to what specific areas of your life are poised for a shift or change. Don’t worry, I’ve got you! Keep reading.

Here are some brief insights as to how this eclipse may influence each zodiac sign. For more details, come see me up at Indigo Moons on Thursday!
Aries: This eclipse lights up your first house of self-identity, sparking a powerful personal transformation. It’s the perfect time to reflect on who you’ve become and who you’re still becoming. You are invited to explore new experiences and ventures that truly resonate with your evolving identity and aspirations.
Taurus: This solar eclipse is activating your 12th house, bringing your subconscious, hidden fears, emotions, and unresolved challenges to the forefront. It’s a powerful time to release old patterns and internal blocks that are not serving you, to create space for a more authentic, empowered version of yourself to emerge.
Gemini: With the eclipse in your eleventh house, anticipate shifts in your social circles and long-term aspirations. New friendships or collaborations may emerge that align with your plans or goals. As well, you may decide to release people, groups or affiliations that no longer resonate.
Cancer: Your tenth house of career and public image is highlighted, signaling potential advancements or changes in your professional path. A leadership opportunity or an exciting offer could present itself. You may also decide to redefine your appearance and/or professional persona. Be mindful of making external changes as Venus (the planet of love & beauty) is retrograde. If you can, wait until after April 12th when Venus goes back direct.
Leo: The eclipse energizes your ninth house, inspiring a thirst for knowledge and adventure. Consider exploring new philosophies, enrolling in courses, or planning a trip to broaden your horizons. Make plans after April 6th, if possible, to avoid the pitfalls of the current Mercury Retrograde.
Virgo: The eclipse in your eighth house sparks a shift in your shared resources and intimacy. It’s a good time for financial planning as well as addressing challenges in your relationships. Issues related to inheritance, taxes, or debts may come into focus, prompting necessary changes. As well, you could receive a pleasant surprise through an inheritance or tax refund.
Libra: This eclipse shakes up your seventh house of partnerships, bringing relationships—both personal and professional—into focus. You may start questioning certain connections, wondering if they truly support your growth and well-being or if they’ve run their course. It’s a time of deep introspection, inviting you to assess whether or not your commitments are built on fairness, respect, and shared goals.
Scorpio: This eclipse activates your sixth house, highlighting health, daily routines, and acts of service. Small changes, like adopting mindful eating habits or a new fitness regimen, can significantly boost your well-being. Additionally, if you’ve been feeling isolated lately, consider ways to help others or get involved. Not only will this bring you emotional fulfillment, but it will also expand your social circle.
Sagittarius: With your fifth house of creativity and romance activated, this eclipse sparks inspiration and passion! You may be inspired to pick up a new hobby or endeavor that allows you to authentically express yourself. This can be through art, music, a podcast, etc. This eclipse may also highlight the Debbie downers in your life that discourage you or drain your energy. Maybe it’s time to have a little fun and prioritize joy in your life?
Capricorn: This eclipse activates your fourth house, shining a light on home and family matters. It’s the perfect time to create an environment that truly supports and nurtures you. Whether through a heart-to-heart conversation or simple changes in your space, this eclipse inspires you to make your home a place of comfort and emotional security.
Aquarius: With the eclipse lighting up your third house, communication, learning, and your local community take center stage. It might be time to explore new local spots, meet fresh faces, and open yourself up to new ideas. If you’ve been thinking about taking a course or picking up a new skill, now is the perfect time! Shake things up by expanding your perspective and making some exciting new local connections.
Pisces: This eclipse activates your second house, putting the spotlight on finances and personal values. You are invited to reassess not just your money habits, but also your self-worth and how you value yourself in relation to wealth. Are your financial choices truly supporting your present needs and future goals? If not, it may be time for a change. Smart, thoughtful decisions made now can pave the way for long-term stability and security later.
