What was happening in your life between March 2015 and February 2017? Take a personal inventory. That was the last Eclipse cycle we experienced on the Virgo-Pisces axis. The patterns you established during that time laid the foundation for the upcoming 2.5–3 years, as we are now entering a new Eclipse cycle on the same Virgo-Pisces axis, nearly 9 years later. This marks the beginning of a new chapter, building on the narrative set between 2015 and 2017, which you are now invited to revisit and reassess from a more evolved and mature perspective.
Eclipses are known as cosmic disruptors, shaking things up in our lives to help us break free from old patterns and stagnant energies. Whether through sudden shifts or subtle revelations, eclipses tend to push us out of our comfort zones, forcing us to confront what we've been avoiding. While this process can feel intense, it ultimately clears the path for new beginnings and deeper growth.
Eclipses are powerful portals and catalysts of change. If you’ve been sidetracked, this is the Universe’s way of realigning you with your higher purpose. Discover how this Eclipse cycle will impact you personally over the next 2.5–3 years.
Have you been engaging in spiritual bypassing and escapism? Have you been avoiding your emotions instead of sitting with them? Have you been neglecting your body’s intelligence instead of using it as a key to healing?
The Virgo-Pisces polarity emphasizes that the doorway to true spirituality is through the physical body. Eclipses always occur in pairs of opposite signs, mirroring the Law of Polarity in the Cosmos. The Virgo–Pisces axis, in particular, represents the Body–Soul polarity – structure versus flow, order versus chaos, tangible matter versus ethereal energy. This axis symbolizes the thin veil separating the material and spiritual dimensions, reminding us that the two are intimately intertwined.
The next 2.5 to 3 years will mark a profound period of healing. Virgo, ruling the 6th House, governs health, healing, and daily routines (as your life’s foundation), and as an Earth sign, it focuses on physical, tangible processes. Opposite Virgo, Pisces rules the 12th House, representing the spiritual realm, transcendence, and unity — the return to Oneness. Together, these signs ask us to bridge the gap between matter and spirit, reminding us that healing and spirituality are not separate journeys, but one.
This axis calls out your inner alchemist: to transmute physical matter into energy and to use the body as a vehicle for spiritual awakening. True spiritual growth doesn’t bypass the body, but instead honours and works through it. The work of Virgo-Pisces is about grounded spirituality.
On September 18 (Northern Hemisphere, Central European Time / GMT +2), we will enter the Eclipse corridor — a 2-week period between two eclipses, one lunar and one solar. Although we are still collectively completing the work on the previous Aries–Libra axis that started in 2023, the Partial Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 18 will give us a glimpse into the new Virgo-Pisces cycle, which will guide us through February 2027.
Our journey through the Eclipse corridor will culminate on October 2, 2024, with an Annular Solar Eclipse in Libra (more in the upcoming blog post).
The energy activated during this Eclipse corridor will influence us for at least the next 6 months, but the themes of the Virgo-Pisces axis will continue to shape our lives until the end of February 2027. Discover how this Eclipse cycle will impact you personally over the next 2.5–3 years.
As this new Eclipse cycle unfolds along the mutable Virgo-Pisces axis, expect increased movement, sudden shifts, and abrupt changes. It’s a time ripe for revelations and realizations, when long-hidden truths rise to the surface, prompting deep transformation.
The first eclipse of this new cycle happening on September 18, at 25 degrees Pisces serves as a powerful moment of emotional culmination, closure, and release. Lunar eclipses amplify the energy of the Full Moon, heightening emotional sensitivity and bringing unresolved issues to the surface for healing. In the sign of Pisces, this eclipse invites us to let go of illusions, transcend limitations, and align more deeply with our spiritual selves.
Emotional Healing & Release: Pisces, as a water sign, governs the subconscious, dreams, and emotional depth. This eclipse may stir up old emotional wounds or spiritual crises, urging us to heal and release what no longer serves us.
Boundaries Dissolving: Pisces has a fluid, boundary-less quality, and this lunar eclipse can blur the lines between reality and imagination. It’s a time for deep reflection, meditation, and connecting with your inner world.
Compassion & Forgiveness: As the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces represents universal compassion, empathy, and the need for closure. This is a time to forgive, let go of past grievances, and cultivate a sense of union and wholeness.
With Venus opposing Chiron (the ‘wounded healer’), you may find yourself healing relationships, resolving conflicts, forgiving, and moving on during this period.
Those of you with major Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces placements (Sun, Rising, Moon) will perceive these energies the most. Additionally, people with significant Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn placements (Sun, Rising, Moon) are undergoing a significant transformation right now, as Pluto finishes its journey through the last degrees of Capricorn for the final time in our lifetimes, remaining there until November 19, 2024.
This period is also about integration and the completion of karmic lessons. It’s a karmic wrap-up, urging you to tie up loose ends and prepare for a new chapter.
