The Astro-Spiritual Significance of the Virgo Solar EclipseSeptember 21st, 2025 heralds a unique celestial event: a new moon solar eclipse at the anaretic (29th) degree of Virgo. As highlighted in the latest episode of the Everything Is Energy Podcast, this event is not only astrologically rare but also energetically potent. Solar eclipses are powerful portals for transformation, always occurring during a new moon—when the sun and moon are conjunct, signaling fresh beginnings and gateways for manifestation.
What makes this eclipse exceptionally significant is its position at the 29th degree of Virgo—a point of culmination, sometimes called a “critical degree.” While the zero degree (where the previous New Moon in Virgo occurred four weeks prior) is about newness and pure potentiality, the 29th degree is about the fullness of experience, the culmination of Virgo’s essence.
Virgo: Energetic Hygiene as a ThemeVirgo, as mutable earth, is ruled by Mercury and is associated with meticulousness, self-improvement, and attending to the nitty-gritty details of life. At this time of “being in the middle” of great planetary shifts, Virgo energy invites us to pause, reflect, and be intentional with both our individual and collective energies.
Lisa calls attention to “energetic hygiene”—a theme woven throughout the celestial alignments. This is more than physical health; it’s an invitation to examine our energetic output, subconscious habits, and the moment-to-moment ways we invest our life force. The underlying message: We are the creators of our realities, and it’s time to up-level our conscious power as agents of change.
World Access Points and Multi-Dimensional AlignmentsThis eclipse is also a “world access point,” a configuration where the last degree of a mutable sign (like Virgo) brings collective themes to the forefront, amplifying global awareness and energetic presence.
Astrologically, the eclipse chart is further energized by a grand trine, a kite, and—most strikingly—three yods, or “fingers of fate.” These rare dynamics are seldom seen, signaling a perfect storm of transformative energies. Mars, at 29° Libra (another critical degree), is central to these configurations, highlighting deep issues of justice, harmony, and the necessary release of what no longer serves.
Mars, Transformation, and The Invitation for Deliberate ActionMars’s placement in the 29th degree of Libra signals matters coming to a head around themes of justice and authentic relating. Its powerful aspects to Pluto, Jupiter, and the outer planets illuminate obstacles to harmony, balance, and truth—both individually and within the collective. Mars’s role in multiple yods challenges us to take purposeful, deliberate action: not impulsive, but informed and refined, especially with Venus in Virgo offering a counterbalance of heartfelt discernment and loving attention to detail.
A reminder also that eclipses are not just day-of events; their energetic themes may have been felt a month prior, and will reverberate for months to come.
Release, Embodiment, and Return to SourceAt its core, this eclipse, conjunct the south node, is about karmic release—a reboot point for letting go of ancestral patterns, outdated beliefs, and past attachments. Solar eclipses shine a light on the path ahead, delivering downloads and insights that help us transition from the old to the new.
Living with Cosmic AwarenessIn my own experience, astrology provides a framework for understanding life’s rhythms, affirming that everything is unfolding in divine timing. The invitation is clear: pay attention to your energetic inputs and outputs, release what holds you back, and trust that as you return to Source—however you define it—you’re supported, nourished, and guided.
Bright blessings on your eclipse journey. Remember: you are light, you are love, you are Source incarnate—here, now, on purpose. - Lisa Marie :)

Energetic Insights, Emotional Release, and Powerful Karmic ShiftsWhether you're an astrology enthusiast or simply open to new perspectives, here are 3 key takeaways from the conversation:

• Harness Emotional Intelligence: With Pisces’ intuitive and sensitive energy leading this eclipse, we’re encouraged to trust our inner wisdom. Emotional release and clarity come to the forefront—making space for deeper insights and soulful growth.
• Transform Challenges into Creative Fuel: Minor yet impactful planetary aspects (like Venus in Leo and Saturn retrograde) remind us that what frustrates us now can become rocket fuel for creative solutions. This eclipse is an invitation to use our fears and frustrations as catalysts for real change.
• Let Go and Realign: The lunar eclipse offers a cosmic opportunity to release what no longer serves us. By consciously letting go of stagnant energies, we make room for a more expanded, harmonious, and authentic version of ourselves—both individually and collectively.

Whether you missed the eclipse or felt its impact profoundly, the energy is still unfolding. If you’re curious about integrating these themes, tune in to the episode for a guided meditation and more insights!

Here are my top 3 takeaways:

• Embrace Infinite Possibility: The intertwined energies of the Lion’s Gate and Aquarius Full Moon invite us to step into a field of infinite intelligence, abundance, and truth. Now is the moment to open ourselves to new perceptions and creative opportunities.
• Trust Authenticity in Times of Transformation: With unique astrological aspects like the rare Mystic Rectangle at play, we’re being encouraged to break away from autopilot and root our actions in personal truth and presence. This is essential as we navigate collective and personal rebirth.
  
  
• Find Balance in Tension: Even when faced with challenges, retrogrades, or oppositions, harmonious planetary configurations remind us that friction is a catalyst for growth.

The New Moon in Leo is exact on July 24, 2025 at 12:11pm PT. As always, with a New Moon the Sun and Moon are conjunct, both beaming their energy from powerful, regal Leo. This lunation isn’t just any new beginning—it’s truly setting the tone for the reality we’re co-creating together.

Dream Bigger than You Feel is Possible. Because Everything is Possible Right Now
If there’s one message coming through, it’s this: dream big. Now’s the time to lift ourselves out of limiting expectations and step into higher standards—standards worthy of Leo and of our highest selves.

This New Moon is deeply transformative, ushered in by Pluto in Aquarius sitting directly opposite the Sun and the Moon. Pluto brings the energy of death, rebirth, and personal transformation, while Aquarius pushes us toward radical change and authentic self-expression.

Uranus Ignites Change & Collective Connection
Uranus, newly in Gemini and powerfully aspecting six planets, is the real catalyst right now. It reminds us that we are the change-makers, the “high technology” we’ve been seeking. Uranus encourages us to include everyone as we co-create, acknowledging that the tapestry we’re weaving is made more beautiful by our unique differences.

A Dynamic Minor Triangle: Neptune, Uranus, Pluto
There’s also a rare and potent “minor triangle” in the skies, involving the generational planets Neptune (in Aries), Uranus (in Gemini), and Pluto (in Aquarius). These energies, rarely felt in a single lifetime, are opening us to new downloads and perspectives. Neptune at the apex calls us to examine the illusions we live within, inviting us to upgrade our intuition and emotional intelligence—because we’re here to feel good, expansive, joyful, and free.

Your Practice: Root, Release & Receive
In the episode, I guide you through a grounding meditation to connect with nature, release what no longer serves you, and receive inspiration from the New Moon. Imagine yourself by a forest stream, feeling cleansed, supported, and re-energized by the Earth and cosmos alike. Now is the moment to trust the flow, let go of contractions, and anchor in limitless vision.

New moons always herald new beginnings, and when both the Sun and Moon meet in sensitive, cardinal Cancer, their energies are amplified. Cancer, ruled by the Moon itself, is known for its nurturing, inward-looking, and emotionally intelligent nature. Cancer’s archetype is the crab—a tender core shielded by a protective shell, teaching us the power of intuitive boundaries.

What's especially remarkable this year is Jupiter’s presence in Cancer, beginning a year-long journey (June 2025–June 2026). Jupiter, the planet of luck, expansion and higher consciousness, is exalted in Cancer. This powerful alignment infuses the lunar cycle with an “all-encompassing recipe for expansion”—expansion anchored in intuitive emotional intelligence and the merging of ego with soul, and the 3D physical world with the 5D energetic world.

The Finger of Fate: A Yod Activation

Layered atop this fortune-filled new moon is an exceptionally rare and impactful configuration: a Yod, or the “Finger of God.” At the apex of this Yod stands Pluto in Aquarius, with the Sun, Moon, Jupiter, and Mars forming its base.

A Yod often signals a significant turning point or crisis that catalyzes deep transformation. Here, the energetic flows between emotional intelligence (Sun, Moon, Jupiter) and action (Mars) are channeled—sometimes uncomfortably—through Pluto’s domain of death and rebirth. Pluto’s presence as the apex planet supercharges the transformational potential, making adjustments inevitable, karmically guided, and ultimately for the collective good.
Lisa emphasizes, “the outer planets always win.” Even if we don’t notice drastic events in our day-to-day 3D world, we are invited to trust the slow, subtle, yet profound energetic shifts.

Integrating the Energies: Intuitive Action and Centered Communication

Additional aspects offer practical guidance for navigating these heady times. Mercury conjoins the fixed star Procyon, bringing mental agility and adaptability, but also potential for conflict. The remedy, according to the cosmic counsel, is to remain anchored in one’s center—acting and communicating from the heart, in alignment with our inner knowing, rather than from reactivity.

Further, a grand web of harmonious aspects between Pluto, Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn amplifies the undercurrent of transformation with grace, flow, and further fortuitous outcomes—especially over the long term.

The overarching message is to attune ourselves to these subtle energetic flows. Now is the time to trust, listen, and feel from the inside out. It’s both permission and invitation to heed intuition, opening the heart and third eye as our most potent tools for expansion.

Embodying the Shift: Meditation and Conscious ReceivingTo help integrate these potent energies, Lisa guides listeners through a centering meditation: awareness to the breath, the body, and the energy field, inviting breath as a vehicle to release what doesn’t serve and to receive new cosmic light. She encourages a conscious expansion from the “seat of your soul” outward, merging your inner essence with your energetic field. This, she offers, is the path to activating the intuitive, open-hearted, centered self needed in these transformational times.
As you breathe in the new lunar energies, you’re not simply resetting for a new cycle—you’re activating capacities that uplift not only yourself but ripple out for collective benefit.

Embrace Your Role in the Greater Energetic WeaveWhether you’re new to astrology or a seasoned energy reader, this Cancer new moon invites you to align with your heart and intuition, step into conscious expansion, and remember your essential role in the web of collective transformation. Trust the process, stay centered, and know—you are a channel for light, intuition, and destiny’s unfolding.

Happy New Moon and Bright Blessings! ~ Lisa Marie

The Sagittarius Full Moon, which peaks on June 11th, invites us into a powerful period of expansion, exploration, and energetic integration. This lunation is not just about stargazing; it’s about setting our sights higher—toward the galactic center itself, following the path of the Sagittarius Archer.

Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion, and infuses this lunar window with an urge to break boundaries—physically, intellectually, and spiritually. This energy asks us to explore global truths and broader perspectives, while its opposition with the Sun in Gemini highlights the need to harmonize these universal themes with the local, everyday details of our lives.

Integration of the Macro and Micro
Gemini Meets SagittariusDuring any full moon, the Sun and Moon are in opposition, and this time Gemini (the communicator, close-to-home explorer) squares off with Sagittarius (the philosophical, world traveler). Gemini rules over community, conversation, and short journeys; Sagittarius points us to grand quests, higher learning, and far-off places.

This interplay brings forth the theme of integration: balancing the big picture (macro) with the intimate details (micro), merging global perspectives with personal experiences. As Lisa reminds us, "the theme here during this full moon is exploration, the manifestation and the challenge is to integrate both the big and the small...as within, so without."

Celestial Influences
Jupiter’s Move and Mythic ArchetypesAstrological events surrounding this full moon set an even more profound stage. Just two days prior, Jupiter (Sagittarius’ ruler) shifts into Cancer, where it’s said to be exalted. This transition signals a phase of emotional attunement—inviting us to trust our inner senses and stay true to what truly resonates with our hearts. Jupiter forms significant aspects with both Saturn and Neptune, calling for us to heed not just facts, but energetic flows and subtle vibrations. It’s not just about what we want, but about being aligned with the underlying currents of the universe.

Additionally, the presence of Sedna, Algol, and Uranus weaves in mythological threads. Sedna’s story of betrayal, sacrifice, and ultimate transformation from pain to abundance mirrors collective shifts—demanding us to look for deeper truths and rebirth from challenges. The connection to Algol (the third eye of Medusa) highlights themes of clarity and fearless truth-telling.

The Power of Heart-Centered Living
One of the most potent aspects of this full moon is the grand trine between the Moon, Chiron, Eris, and Mars. This cosmic configuration encourages radical authenticity and acting from the heart. Chiron, the wounded healer, merges with Eris, the disruptor, both in Aries, helping us seek and speak truth at a soul-deep level. Mars in Leo amplifies this energy, urging us to act with courage, generosity, and creativity from our heart’s space.

I share in the podcast that modern science and ancient wisdom both point toward the heart as our primary intuitive receiver. Living from the heart is not just a feel-good mantra; it’s a scientifically grounded and spiritually empowering truth.

May this full moon inspire you to live from your heart flame, embracing your journey with courage, curiosity, and compassion.

The arrival of a New Moon is always a potent time for fresh starts, intention setting, and personal reflection. The recent astrological event—Gemini New Moon—brings a surge of mutable, curious, and communicative energy, encouraging us to view our world from multiple perspectives. Join me in this episode to explore not only the celestial energies at play but also the deeper spiritual mechanics underpinning them: most notably, the ancient symbol and activation of the Merkaba.

Gemini’s Multifaceted Energy: Seeking Truth through Many Lenses
The heart of the Gemini New Moon lies in its very nature: mutable air, ruled by Mercury. This energy is versatile, adaptable, and deeply interested in understanding different viewpoints. With the Sun, Moon, and Mercury all conjunct in the sign of the twins, our collective consciousness is primed for a major upgrade in communication and comprehension. It’s a time to stay open, to listen, and to embody curiosity in all our conversations.

But the cosmic dance doesn’t stop here. Uranus and Algol join the mix, infusing this lunar cycle with a kind of electric, truth-revealing energy and themes of empowerment and karmic justice. Sedna’s presence foreshadows even bigger transformations coming in the next couple years. All this Gemini energy—especially with a stellium in the sign—ramps up the mental activity but also hints at a potential shadow: indecisiveness or analysis paralysis. The antidote? Bold decisiveness, ushered in by Saturn's recent shift into Aries.

Saturn in Aries: A Call to Bold Leadership
Saturn’s movement into Aries is a pivotal moment. Known for its role in fostering personal transformation, Saturn in Aries encourages bold beginnings and courageous decisions. This cosmic nudge aligns beautifully with Gemini’s mental spark, urging us not merely to think about change, but to act. Saturn’s temporary stay in Aries until September (before regressing, then returning in 2026) means we have a window to embody this pioneering energy, both personally and collectively.

Lilith, Vesta & the Dance of Divine Polarities
Another powerful astrological aspect at play is Black Moon Lilith conjunct Vesta—and both quincunx to the Sun and Moon. Lilith embodies the uncompromising divine feminine, while Vesta invites us back to our inner sanctuaries. Their emphasis is on integrating polarities: masculine and feminine, mind and body, spirit and science. The message is clear—true empowerment and wholeness come not from choosing sides but from inner unity. Here, the symbolism of sacred geometry, especially the Merkaba, takes center stage.

Merkaba: Activation & Alignment for the Aquarian Age
The Merkaba, an ancient geometric symbol of two interlocking tetrahedrons, encapsulates the idea of integrating opposites to achieve higher consciousness. It represents the union of light (Mer), spirit (Ka), and body (Ba)—and in the context of this New Moon, it offers a tool for personal activation. By visualizing and breathing into the spinning fields of the Merkaba, we balance and align our energies, opening to downloads, healing, and new wisdom.

Let's also remember that alignment isn’t about perfection or hard work; it’s about authenticity. Transformation requires letting the old dissolve so the new can form—much like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. The Merkaba meditation offered in the episode creates a bridge from rooted presence (as above) to expanded possibility (so below).

Embracing Unity and Transformation
The energetic signature of this Gemini New Moon—layered with planetary conjunctions, bold Saturnian leadership, and ancient Merkabic activation—creates a unique portal for transformation. We are invited to honor every perspective while remaining anchored in our truth, to embrace both our grounded humanity and our limitless spirit.
​
As we journey through this lunar cycle and beyond, the wisdom is to align with these cosmic flows, trust the process of becoming, and unlock the inner unity that fuels both personal and collective evolution. May this transmission inspire you to activate your own Merkaba and step boldly into the transformative energies ahead.

This full moon in Scorpio, exact on May 12, 2025, brings powerful themes of transformation and hidden truth to the forefront. Scorpio, the sign of fixed feminine water ruled by Pluto, calls us to look beneath the surface—beyond what’s visible or familiar—in both our own lives and the collective consciousness. It’s a moment designed for powerful realizations, releasing long-held patterns, and trusting intuition.

Juno Conjunct Luna: The Divine Feminine Protects
With Luna (the Moon) conjunct Juno in Scorpio, goddess energy takes center stage. Juno, protector of women and the state, brings powerful guidance, intuition, and protection. This energy is about standing up for the empowerment and safety of all, honoring the divine feminine within each of us, and embracing fertility—not only as birth, but as the ability to create, imagine, and love deeply.

Algol and Medusa: The Third Eye Awakens
A fascinating aspect: the Sun is conjunct Uranus and the star Algol (said to represent the third eye of Medusa). Algol’s famous “blinking” comes from its multiple star system, and in mythology, it’s long been a sign of caution. In this podcast we reframe Medusa as a powerful symbol of protection, truth, and karmic justice. When her third eye meets ours, what’s not true cannot persist. This full moon invites us to connect with our own third eye and intuition. We’re called to see beyond illusions, trust our inner knowing, and courageously face transformation.

Revolutionary Energy: Uranus, Pluto, and More
There’s potent revolutionary energy in the sky. Uranus conjunct Algol shakes us awake, encouraging us to become the change we wish to see and to embrace personal truth. Pluto’s dynamic aspects (opposing Mars, squaring Mercury, trining Uranus, and sextiling Neptune) encourage us to communicate honestly, raise our energetic standards, and prepare for big, soulful downloads—especially as the Sun and Uranus align closer on May 17.

Main Theme: Trust Yourself

This Super New Moon isn’t just another lunar cycle—it’s the first new moon following eclipse season, carrying lingering intensity and opportunity for breakthrough. Eclipse energy might feel like the bold brushstroke of a painting, but this new moon brings a gentle color wash, inviting us to anchor and root down.

There are a lot of voices out there, but YOUR soul came for a unique purpose. This lunar cycle encourages you to reflect on what resonates for YOU—not your best friend, not your spiritual teacher, not your parents—just you. Dig deep. Trust your intuition above all.

Cosmic Energies At Play

• Super New Moon in Taurus: Extra potent Luna energy! Taurus, ruled by Venus, brings roots, steadfast strength, and long-term vision—but also caution against shadowy stubbornness.
• Mars Opposite Pluto (with Varuna in the mix!): Transformation through crisis, regal action, and a call to rise to the higher octave of courage and motivation.
• A Rare Fixed Grand Cross: Four planets in fixed signs square and oppose each other, amping up intensity. It’s a powerful setup for “breakdown to breakthrough” energy—root into what’s true for you.
• Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio: Dive into your shadow, hidden truths, and feminine power. Accept, integrate, and work with the parts of yourself you may have kept in the dark.
