On Friday, March 14, 2025, at 2:54 AM ET, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Leo occurs in Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra (29:43° of Leo), marking a pivotal moment of ego dissolution, karmic awakening, and the transformation of self-expression. This isn’t just any Full Moon—it’s an eclipse, a cosmic reset button, accelerating fate and revealing past-life patterns ready for release.

This eclipse foreshadows the karmic shift of Ketu into Leo on May 18, 2025, which will shape our journey for the next 18 months. If you’ve felt a tension between self-expression and humility, leadership and surrender, validation and embodiment, this lunation will illuminate where ego attachments are blocking your authentic path forward.

The Bigger Picture: Why This Eclipse Matters

Eclipses are cosmic wildcards, bringing rapid, fated changes that push us toward our soul’s evolution. This Leo eclipse previews the themes we’ll be working through once Ketu moves into Leo in May, signaling the need to release outdated leadership roles, creative identities, and ego-based pursuits.

Key themes of this eclipse include:

• Letting go of old identities and attachments to external validation

• Reclaiming your innate talents and restructuring your life in a sustainable way to put those talents to use more often

• Shifting from performance-based self-worth to embodied self-expression. 

• Finding an inner compass instead of seeking approval from others

• Navigating leadership and power in a more dharmic (soul-aligned) way

This is not a time for impulsive action but rather a moment to observe, reflect, and prepare for the karmic shifts ahead.

Ketu’s Role: Embodied Leadership vs. External Validation

To fully understand this eclipse, we must look at Ketu, the South Node of the Moon, which will soon enter Leo. Ketu represents past-life karma, detachment, and spiritual evolution, dissolving anything that no longer serves our highest path. Unlike Rahu (the North Node), which seeks external stimulation and worldly success, Ketu is headless—it strips away distractions and forces us to find wisdom from within.

When Ketu moves into Leo, the sign of creative self-expression, leadership, and recognition, it will challenge us to release our attachment to being seen, celebrated, or admired.

If you’ve been seeking validation through titles, social status, or public recognition, this eclipse may expose where those pursuits feel hollow and where true fulfillment lies in quiet mastery rather than external applause.

Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra: The Leadership of Service

This eclipse falls in Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra, which represents mature leadership, dharmic service, and past-life contracts. Unlike its counterpart, Purva Phalguni (which indulges in pleasure and play), Uttara Phalguni is about refinement, responsibility, and creating lasting impact.

Key Themes of Uttara Phalguni:

• Honorable leadership—stepping into responsibility with integrity rather than ego

• Sacred contracts and karmic debts—fulfilling past-life agreements in relationships or career

• Creative mastery—structuring raw talent into something sustainable and meaningful

• Balancing power and humility—using influence for service rather than personal gain

• Rest for true rejuvenation — practicing down time for rejuvenation sake, instead of with some ulterior motive around productivity. Resting for productivity's sake is not truly rejuvenating!

With Ketu’s influence, leadership now requires embodiment, not performance. If you’ve been leading for recognition rather than true impact, this eclipse will make it clear where adjustments are needed.

It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

How This Eclipse Calls You to Evolve

This Leo eclipse is a checkpoint from the New Moon in Leo on September 2, 2024 (you can refer back to that YOGISCOPE here), which marked the beginning of the last eclipse season. What creative seeds did you plant then? What leadership roles, self-expression, or recognition pursuits are now being reevaluated?

This is a time to:

🔥 Transform your approach to leadership—Where have you been trying too hard to “prove” something? What would it look like to lead from deep inner knowing instead?

🌕 Acknowledge karmic patterns—This eclipse may bring past-life echoes of recognition, leadership, and self-worth to the surface for healing.

🌱 Shift from mind-driven validation (Rahu) to embodied wisdom (Ketu)—Are you chasing external approval or standing fully in your own energy?

Do’s & Don’ts for This Eclipse

🟢 DO:

✔ Lead from within—Trust your intuition over external praise.

✔ Let go of outdated roles—If an identity, goal, or leadership position is dissolving, let it.

✔ Prioritize service over ego—Uttara Phalguni teaches that leadership is about impact, not just personal success.

✔ Observe rather than act impulsively—Eclipse energy unfolds over time—let the insights settle.

🚫 DON’T:

✖ Cling to external validation—If your worth is based on recognition, this eclipse will challenge that.

✖ Resist necessary endings—If something is naturally fading, trust the process.

✖ Ignore signs of burnout—Leo energy can push for performance, but this nakshatra urges structured rest before action.

Closing Thoughts

🌕 Eclipses bring revelations, not immediate action.

⚡ This is a preview of Ketu in Leo’s deeper karmic lessons.

🦁 Leadership, expression, and identity are evolving—trust the process.

✨ The shift from mind (Rahu) to embodied wisdom (Ketu) is the key to this transit. Don’t force any story of your mind to be true. Eclipse season is not the time to UNDERSTAND the shifts - just a time to practice paying attention, feeling, letting go, and being open to doors closing and new ones opening. Try not to force clarity until eclipse season is over in April. (for exact dates, grab yourself a copy of the 2025 yogiscopes planner - email [email protected] to get yours!)

Remember, as a Vedic astrologer, I use the sidereal zodiac, or the astronomically precise placements of the planets. So these will likely be different than your (western, tropical) Sun sign--you know, the one that is based solely on your birth date. You can read more about the differences between the two systems here.
