Total lunar eclipse in Virgo: astrology meaning
A lunar eclipse is a supercharged Full Moon. Astrologers read it as a culmination or release around work routines, health and details (Virgo), with the Sun opposite in Pisces. It falls near the South Node, traditionally the side of the axis linked to letting go and endings. The Virgo–Pisces axis matters most if you have planets or angles within a few degrees of 23°59′ Virgo or Pisces.
