On March 3, we receive a Full Moon TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE in the mutable earth sign of Virgo. The energies of this eclipse may be primarily internal, calling forth radical self-acceptance and honesty.
Going it alone - symbolically - is a primary theme. Only you can do what is required, and only you have the unique combination of gifts and talents that the world sorely needs. It’s time to admit the truth of who you are and what you are made of, and realize that you are the one you’ve been waiting for.
Yee-haw! Strap into the saddle, Fire Horse-back riders and jockeys. Eclipses always herald Big Change, and you can expect the unexpected. Here I offer pointers to potentially make it smoother.
In this episode, I discuss: 👇🏼👇🏾👇🏼👇
* Mercury, this eclipse ruler, retrograde in dreamy, fluid Pisces and allowing analysis and correction to follow intuition and creativity
* The Sabian Symbol of Virgo 13: “A powerful statesman overcomes a state of political hysteria”; who is the real leader stepping forward?
* The Major Arcana Tarot card for Virgo and offering of The Hermit (IX)
* Charisma as a gift from the Divine, offering grace to those who heed Cosmic Law
* “Everyone’s a critic”: when is feedback useful and skillful; when is it about them, not us; consider the source
* Pluto in Aquarius as truth-teller and the exposure of rot: purging the sludge from the depths in both the world and ourselves
* Disruptions necessary to free up stuck energy and move forward
* Seeing through old conditioning of people-pleasing and conflict avoidance
* Remembering that You are Enough, and dropping the comparisons with others
* Spiritual and physical hygiene; give some attention to self-care, healing and rest before the spring equinox in Aries
* And much, much more!
As mentioned during the last episode, eclipses are always intense, even if it’s an internal restructuring. So, give yourself lots of room and time, and remember that the chart ruler is a retrograde trickster Mercury. Stay curious, keep an open mind, and remain flexible. Virgo is a mutable sign - not fixed, not stuck. It wants to move, to adjust. To change and evolve.
