12 Mar 2025: Letting go at the upcoming ‘Blood Moon’ Lunar Eclipse in Virgo

Well, well, well, let me preface this by facepalming at myself - I have truly lost count of how many wrong predictions I’ve made about my dad’s passing. What did I say about predictions being difficult? Especially as a budding astrologer.

Let me first talk about what actually transpired for me at the mid January Full Moon in Cancer that happened in my 10th house of reputation, career, action, ambition, achievement, … (among many other associations, including father figure). Many of us are familiar with the shorter monthly lunar cycle of which there is typically a new moon 🌑 and full moon 🌕 each month. Well, the greater lunar cycle is much more significant, especially in terms of making medium-term predictions.

The Full Moon that happened in Cancer back in January of this year, links back to the New Moon that last happened in the same Cancerian part of the sky, which was 6 months earlier on the 6th July 2024.

The image below gives you a visualisation of what it even means to have something in the “Cancerian part of the sky”. There are 88 named constellations, and 12 of them align with the plane that contains the Sun-Earth orbit. And those 12 constellations? They’re are our Zodiac signs! So in the image below, from Earth’s point of view, it looks as though the Sun is in the Aries part of the sky. This particular geometrical arrangement is associated with a particular energetic resonance, which humans on Earth have correlated with the Aries archetype (raw energy, courage, drive to pioneer new paths, …)

Anyway, back to the New Moon in Cancer in July 2024. I ask myself, what stands out as the most significant thing for me at that time? It had been a couple of weeks since my dad started losing his appetite and he was trialling different little remedies to try and recoup his health, but there really wasn’t any big concern, nor was there anything I could do about it. What I really had to turn my attention to was the 4 week stint of full-time teaching load that I was a couple of days away from getting stuck right into!

Despite enjoying being back in an environment that I felt very familiar and comfortable with, and surrounded by lovely staff and students that I enjoyed reconnecting with, this stint was a FAT reminder that the current education system was DEFINITELY not where I wanted to be. Way too fucking stressful. By this time, I’d already taken 1.5 years of unpaid leave, relying on income from my private tutoring and casual relief work, and having to sell my rental property to continue supporting my decision to stay away from teaching. And it was a few months after this stint that I officially signed my resignation, forfeiting my permanent full-time position as a high school math teacher at what was arguably the best public school in Western Australia.

So the seed regarding my official career change was planted at this time, and what conclusion did I come to at the peak of the lunation cycle a.k.a. the Full Moon in Cancer in January 2025? It took me a couple of weeks after this lunation to decide that I was going to do van life starting out of Canada! I’ll tell you more about Project Freedom Chaser another time 🚐💨  But ultimately, this huge change will enable me to simultaneously travel and pursue my creative endeavours, without being tied down to anything or anyone. Aaahhhhhhh 😌🧘🏻‍♀️

I’d now like to turn our attention to the upcoming ‘Blood Moon’ Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo, amplified by the Lunar Nodes of Fate no less. And Saturn and Neptune! This chart just gives me chills. Such a profound energetic portal. Bless the babies being born at this time.

This Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo is like a Full Moon on STEROIDS! And of course, just like the Full Moon in Cancer back in January, this particular eclipse connects back to the last New Moon in Virgo, which was 6 months ago on the 3rd September 2024. This happened in my 12th house of endings, surrender, subconscious, spiritual realm, … , where I have my natal Chiron and Mars. This means that a seed was planted for me to heal an ancestral wound linked to past generational wounds and unhealed trauma - a karmic lesson through my dad’s health and the responsibilities and burden that that brings. It was 7 days prior to the New Moon that my dad’s biopsy results came back with his cancer diagnosis, but it was EXACTLY on the New Moon that we had an appointment with his Haemotologist who broke the news that it was a terminal diagnosis. And that’s when my foundation started to crumble.

The eclipse is opposing a Sun-Saturn conjunction, North Node, and Neptune in my Pisces 6th house which points to the closing of an important chapter in both my external world and within my own identity. The Annular Solar Eclipse that happened exactly conjunct my Libra Ascendant 5 months ago set the stage for my huge identity transformation, which from the outside has looked like officially resigning from my high school teaching career, the end of a 3 year relationship, and eventually - losing my dad and relocating from my birth city to the other side of the world to pursue my creative endeavours.

My dad’s presence as a guiding force is being severed, clearing karmic contracts tied to him, and freeing me from generational burdens. Neptune is dissolving my attachments (to my dad, to my material possessions, to my romantic relationship, to my career, to my life here in Perth) so initiate me into a new way of living out my life and moving toward my higher purpose. And with the connection to my 12th house, this transition is beyond the physical realm, it’s a soul level experience that ties to my past lives, karma & spiritual growth. And I have to give it to myself, I’m doing a pretty good job at doing human life so far.

I just know it’s coming this time. I’m ready to surrender and to step into the next chapter of my life with a newfound sense of purpose, wisdom, strength, grace, and optimism.

This is an initiation into a new role, free from past expectations. It’s time for me to embrace the unknown with trust. I’m being pushed toward a new karmic path and letting go of control, going with the flow, letting destiny unfold. This is just the beginning of my spiritual journey.

With love,

Anh
