March 29, 2025, marks a profound cosmic turning point with a partial solar eclipse in Pisces and Saturn’s shift into Pisces just hours after. This signals the end of karmic cycles, deep transformation, and a paradigm shift on both personal and collective levels.

Solar Eclipse in Sidereal Pisces (Uttarabhadrapada Nakshatra)

• The final new moon before a new Vedic year begins in Aries.
• A time of moksha, surrender, and cutting karmic ties—like the final ritual of placing ashes into water.
• Uttarabhadrapada Nakshatra is linked to deep transformation, spiritual awakening, and hidden wisdom.

Key Planetary Alignments:

• Venus Retrograde (Exalted in Pisces): Reassessing love, relationships, and financial investments.
• Mercury Retrograde: Muddled communication, financial uncertainty, and introspection.
• Saturn’s Shift into Pisces: The Lord of Karma enters Pisces, bringing a new era of emotional, financial, and spiritual restructuring for the next 2.5 years.

Vishva Vasu – Return to Dharma, Return to Order
The purpose of our lives is to creatively and consciously participate in the creative evolution of consciousness itself. Remembering what Sri Aurobindo taught—that we are part of consciousness, not outside of it, but participating in it—returns us to a state of awe. It is empowering when life feels overwhelming and reassuring when the world seems eclipsed. My hope is that we stay in our hearts, remembering that we are not our emotions, however real they may be, and that no one or nothing outside of us can steal our peace. We are Atmas, uneclipsable immortal beings, here to realize the utter, extraordinary beauty of it all.

Trust in your inner voice. Uttara Bhadrapada is a nakshatra ruled by Saturn, carrying an energy of deep introspection, healing, wisdom, and spiritual understanding. It connects us with the unconscious and invites us to reflect on the lessons we’ve learned.

During this solar eclipse, the energy of Uttara Bhadrapada invites us to:

• Release the Old: The eclipse encourages letting go of outdated beliefs, patterns, and fears that no longer serve us. It is a time to soften into the dissolution of what no longer holds truth.
• Step Into Your Spiritual Self: Uttara Bhadrapada has a deeply spiritual nature. This moment invites us to turn inward, not to seek answers, but to rest in the vastness of our being.
• Find Inner Peace: This New Moon reminds us that true stability is not found in the external world but in our capacity to witness the unfolding of life with an open heart.

Contemplative Reflections for this New Moon Solar Eclipse:

• What is dissolving in my life, and can I allow it to pass without resistance?
• How can I cultivate a deeper trust in the unfolding of my path?
• Where am I being invited to surrender, not as defeat, but as an act of devotion?
• What does true inner peace feel like, beyond circumstances?
• In what ways am I being asked to soften, to listen, to simply be?
• What energy am I carrying that no longer belongs to me?
• What seeds of consciousness are stirring beneath the surface, waiting for their time?

The Moon will be in exact conjunction with the Sun at about 4 am Pacific time. Saturn moves into Pisces a few hours later that same day. This is significant, as Saturn’s transit will relieve many from Sadesati while bringing discipline and structure, perhaps also limitations and revelations, to our mental, emotional, and spiritual growth.

This Solar Eclipse also has a stellium of planets in Pisces: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Rahu, and Saturn, with Venus and Mercury retrograde as well.

It all depends on where this falls in your chart. You can book a session to learn more about how this may affect you. One thing is certain: We are all experiencing shifts.

It is essential to stay present, protect your peace, harvest your resources, sanctify your self-care, clarify your intentions, and ground into inspired community.

This is a time to welcome deep transformation and spiritual awakening.

Love,

Michelle
