The energy is building toward the first Eclipse of the season - are you feeling it?? A Lunar Eclipse is an extra-powerful Full Moon, heightening sensitivity, amplifying emotions, revealing what’s been hidden, and catalyzing significant completions.
In Virgo, this Eclipse can stir up worry, anxiety, over-thinking, insomnia… as well as bring to a head any health issues you may be experiencing. This Eclipse could trigger a turning point in your health, as new insights about underlying causes come to light.
Closely conjoined with the South Node - the karmic past - this Eclipse activates a big RELEASE - a purging of what you’ve outgrown and is no longer serving you. Ripe for purging are shadow-Virgo patterns of control, perfectionism, judgment, criticism and over-efforting.
The North Node in Pisces suggests leaning into acceptance, forgiveness, compassion and trusting the divine flow. (If you haven’t yet watched my conversation with Jaime Goldstein for the Astro-Priestess Summit, we go into A LOT of detail about how to work with the Virgo/Pisces Nodes.)
Virgo rules both work/service and health, and the relationship between the two. This Eclipse asks: As you serve others, are you also serving your own health? Are you ready for a new expression of service, or new work and self-care habits that would better support your well-being?
Saturn opposes this Full Moon, bringing a reality check to what’s not working in your life, and amping up the PRESSURE of this lunation. Saturn in Pisces highlights unconscious patterns and behaviors, how you may be undermining your ability to manifest your dreams.
What have you been avoiding, escaping from, denying or repressing that is now demanding your attention? There may be challenges to face, commitments to make or break, and/or hard conversations that involve saying no or setting a boundary.
Mercury, the ruler of Virgo and presiding deity of this Eclipse, will turn retrograde just after the Full Moon, on March 15th (or 14th, depending on your time zone). Mercury retro, until April 7th, recommends moving slowly and with discernment, resisting the temptation to rush or push - despite the Virgo to-do list and Saturnian pressure!
Mercury is in Aries, bringing attention to old versions and stories of self - who you think you are - that are ready for a re-write and upgrade. Mercury closely conjoins with retrograde Venus, pointing to how your perception of identity relates to the Venusian realms of love, money, worthiness and creativity.
These dual retrogrades stir up the past - including former friends, lovers and partners - revealing what needs to be resolved, completed or healed in order to move forward more successfully.
Mercury will turn retrograde at the exact degree of the Solar Eclipse on March 30th - 9 degrees of Aries. A Solar Eclipse is an extra-potent New Moon, planting seeds for the next six months and even 19 years. Mercury’s activation of the Solar Eclipse point is another indicator that the Virgo Lunar Eclipse is a time for preparation - for releasing what is not aligned with the highest verstion of your future self.
Virgo is the sign of discernment, and this Full Moon can help you clarify – with your gut knowing, your “belly brain” – what you’re ready to shed, what you’re ready to heal, and how to move forward in a way that’s healthy, realistic and aligned with your Essence Self.
For more insight into what this Full Moon means for YOU, find the house in your birth chart that contains 24° Virgo. The areas of life signified by that house are where events are coming to culmination, fruition or completion, and where you’re invited to:
release judgment, criticism, perfectionism and over-efforting – and cultivate acceptance, compassion, and alignment with divine flow;
purify, organize, streamline and simplify;
make adjustments and improvements to support your health, productivity and efficiency;
discern what you’re taking in physically, emotionally, mentally and energetically and set boundaries that honor your well-being.
