This Virgo Lunar Eclipse gives you the opportunity to get serious about tending to the Garden of your Mind. Where do you need to put up a fence to keep the opinions of others from coming in and eating your beautiful offerings? Where have those insidious weeds of negative self talk, criticism, judgment, blame, and holding yourself back started to choke your expression of your Sacred Service? Where might you need to build some trellises so your devotion to your health & wellbeing can climb even higher?

The Total Lunar Eclipse will be visible from across North America, South America, Europe, much of Asia, much of Australia, much of Africa, Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic, and Antarctica.

Reminder this is NOT the time to put your crystals out to charge under the moonlight. No rituals, no manifesting. The Eclipse energies are much too volatile. Wait until the Full Moon in Libra in April.

With this Eclipse occurring in the Sign of Virgo, in the next 3 months we can expect some type of clearing & releasing around jobs, work/life balance, health & wellness, judgment, criticism, and victim mentality.

Remember that Eclipses are fated moments where our Higher Self realigns us toward our Destiny.

During an Eclipse, it’s best to simply BE. Instead of trying to work with the energies, simply allow the energies to work for you. Rest, stay hydrated, and observe the patterns that are unfolding for your highest good (even if it might feel like all hell is breaking loose right now).

If you’d like to dive deeper, I taught a 4-hour class last week, going over everything you need to know about this Virgo South Node Total Lunar Eclipse. You can still sign up to receive the replay here. There’s even an option where you can sign up to receive the next class for the Solar Eclipse for a special price.

Ruled by Mercury, Virgo in its quintessence is all about pattern recognition and your path of Sacred Service & devotion. It is associated with the archetypes of the priestess, healer, disciple, gardener, herbalist, mentor, and the specialist.

In its healed expression, Virgo is devoted, organized, intelligent, discerning, efficient, humble, and able to perceive the symbolic patterns & interconnectedness of the material realm.

In its unhealed expression, it can be overly critical, judgmental, rigid, perfectionistic, uncertain, timid, and lack of confidence.

The effects of Virgo eclipses can be more shifting, evolving, puzzling or sometimes confusing, (because it’s a Mutable sign) but they are generally not as intense as Cardinal or Fixed eclipses. We can usually see results in 3 months.

Virgo eclipses influences:

Public health, hospitals, social services, caregivers, nurses, medical records, nutrition, herb/vitamin industry, health workers, data systems, diabetes & other heath issues that require daily maintenance, etc.
Liver, pancreas, GI tract – really all health/wellness related issues
The working sector, bosses, employees, renters/rental properties, work/life balance, jobs, employment/unemployment, record keeping, utilities, home improvement, property maintenance & development, armies, civil servants, etc.
Food production/distribution, farming, supply chains, animal health, hygiene (on all levels, animal, personal, energetic), supplies, bees, drought, earth work (landslides, mining, earth quakes), seeds, famine, insects, etc.
Pets, veterinarians, and generally anything & everything we take care of/manage on a daily basis.
Take extra good care of your health, rest well, eat well, take time off work, don’t force anything.
NO ALCOHOL OR SUBSTANCES. The energy is already trippy enough! The veils between realms are dissolved. One glass of wine can feel like five…
Check your chart for 23° Virgo and what house that corresponds to for clues as to how/where this eclipse might affect you.

ASPECTS TO THE VIRIGO LUNAR ECLIPSE

The Lunar Eclipse occurs at 23° Virgo and will be engaged in the following aspects:

__________

Opposed (challenged by) Saturn at 22° Pisces: Saturn opposite the Moon can bring feelings of depression and increase the constricting shadows of Virgo’s “not enoughness.” If you are experiencing this, know that it will pass, and focus on taking extra good care of your physical body. Spending time in the bath, or deep cleaning your home while listening to a good audiobook can be especially soothing. On a deeper level, Saturn is asking us to get more serious about honoring our boundaries related to our health & wellness as well as our Sacred Service in the world. What do you need to let go of so that you can focus your attention more deeply & be of greater service? (Perhaps this is a project, relationship, the opinions of others, or self depreciating thoughts, patterns, or habits…)
Trined (supported by) Uranus at 24° Taurus: There can be sudden changes that happen at the time of this eclipse that might feel unnerving in the moment, but ultimately have you feeling more liberated to be your unique, authentic, magical self.
Sextiled (supported by) Mars at 18° Cancer: Around the time of this eclipse, you may finally find the energy to defend & protect your boundaries or whatever you release in the coming weeks & months.
Also of note: The day after the Eclipse, Mercury will be taking his turn to go Retrograde. As Mercury is the ruler of Virgo (the sign where this eclipse is happening), this makes this particular Mercury Retrograde very significant. Whatever unfolds for you during this eclipse portal, know that the story is still being revealed until Mercury clears his post-retrograde shadow in the middle of May. Additionally, take some time to reflect back on what happened in your life from February 28 – March 14, as this is also part of Mercury’s story (from when he was in his pre-retrograde shadow). As with all Mercury Retrograde times, backup your devices, be extra diligent in your communications, and have patience when things take longer or have to be redone.

I shared about the 6th Gate/Gene Key as it’s related to this eclipse in great depth in our Lunar Eclipse Class.

Here are some suggestions to support you as you prepare for the Lunar Eclipse. I would also recommend to continue these practices until one week after the eclipse as well (which then you would shift to preparing to the Solar Eclipse, which I will cover in our Solar Eclipse Class).

*This guidance is especially important if you or anyone you know have/has your Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Midheaven, or Nadir (including personal planets such as Mercury, Venus, Mars, and to a lesser degree Jupiter & Saturn, and even to a lesser degree Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto) between 18°-28° Virgo or Pisces.

How to support yourself during the eclipse:

Light / Color (wear white, silver, pastels, greens, browns, earthy colors)
Sound (esp healing, devotional, massage music), mantras
Earthing, get in water, baths, etc.
Embody the energy of any planets affected in your chart (covered in class)
Go with the flow – eclipses bring things to a head (don’t resist!)
Make space, clean, clear, purge, have those difficult conversations
Kundalini or Heart Coherence – working with your Electromagnetic field
High vibe foods, places, media, etc
CLEAR YOUR FIELD, journal, burn shit, look for any old, unconscious, patterns – what have you been tolerating/ignoring/dissociating/escaping from??
Be extra intentional about your hygiene on all levels – physical, energetic, etc.
Go gentle with any cleanses you might do, the purgative effects are heightened.

Spend some time reflecting on your Sacred Service in the world and how you are being called to get more serious about your devotional path during this time of change on our planet.
What new patterns or habits have you implemented over the past 6 months need to be celebrated & honored?
What patterns or habits (especially mental – negative self-talk, criticism of self/others) need to be cleansed, purified, or released so that you can deepen your devotional path of service? Where do you need to affirm your boundaries of what you are available for (especially with yourself)?
As we move into this next Astrological cycle with the upcoming Equinox, what are you being called to release so you can move into this new cycle in a good way?
