Lunar Eclipse in Libra - Old Secrets Revealed

On Monday March 25 we have the first eclipse of 2024 at 5 degrees of Libra. This eclipse is a lunar eclipse, which is when the shadow of the Earth blocks the rays of the Sun reflecting on the Moon. This creates a reddish hue to the Moon, giving the name “blood moon” to lunar eclipses. Eclipses are not just dramatic to view, but have also been known to cause drama in our lives. This is not only on the day of the eclipse but also the week or two leading up to and after the eclipse season. Eclipses always come in pairs, with a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse coming two weeks apart (sometimes a solar will precede a lunar or vice versa). This creates a four week time where events can take a dramatic turn. This of course depends on where the eclipses appear in your chart. Those with strong aspects to the eclipse, will feel the affects more than those that do not.

Full Moon in Virgo - Spiritual and Practical Balance

On Saturday February 24 we have a Full Moon at 5 degrees of Virgo. Full Moons are a time of culmination as the Moon reaches the peak in her 28 day cycle. As the Moon rules the subconscious and emotions, this is why we often feel more emotional and people are more likely to act out from their subconscious programming at this time. Full Moon also occur when the Sun and Moon are in opposite signs. While the Sun has us focusing on a particular area and way of being, the Moon comes along and reminds us that we need to balance things out. This Full Moon the Moon is in practical, analytical and healing Virgo, while the Sun is in dreamy, romantic and spiritual Pisces. During Pisces season we are asked to focus on our dreams and the spiritual side of life. Pisces is about oneness and how we are all connected. It’s also about fantasy and imagination, so it can be easy to lose sight of the practical and the specific. The Moon in Virgo reminds us that without practical steps and grounded detailed plans, our dreams will remain vague and unrealized. As Virgo is also a healing sign, this Full Moon challenges us to find ways to incorporate the spiritual into our everyday routine.

The Moon in Virgo is not only opposite the Sun in Pisces, but is also opposite Mercury and Neptune. Mercury in Pisces encourages us to communicate with creativity, through methods like song, poetry and art. However Mercury in Pisces it is not great for details and clarity, yet the Moon in Virgo is longing for this. We are challenged to communicated with specificity now.  With the Moon in Virgo it can be a good time for creative writing and getting clear on our creative or spiritual goals. 

 

This Full Moon has helpful aspects in that it is trine Uranus and Jupiter in Taurus, another earth sign. Jupiter in Taurus sends us good fortune in the realms of food, money, nature and earthly goods. We may have opportunities of practical help or gifts in order to achieve our goals. The trine to Uranus also sends us opportunities to act in new ways and sends us inspiration. If we are willing to go with the flow and be open to new possibilities, we can make good progress. 

 

The Sabian Symbol for this Full Moon is “A Merry Go Round”. This symbol speaks to the cyclical nature of life and how there will always be ups and downs, but if we can stay centered and go with the flow, we may even enjoy ourselves. We are asked to not take things so seriously, but to find ways to relax and even amuse ourselves. Virgo Moon might want us to be practical, but its also okay to find time for the fantasy and amusement of Pisces energy. The key is in finding the balance between the two.

Quarter Moon in Taurus - Inspired Action

 

On Friday February 16, we have a First Quarter Moon in the sign of Taurus. First Quarter Moons are a time to take action on the intentions we set at the New Moon, the week before. This past New Moon was in Aquarius, with themes of innovation, revolution, and humanitarianism and community. Coupled with the recent ingress of Pluto into that sign, it was a good time to set long term goals in those areas. Now at the Quarter Moon in the waxing phase (New to Full), we are being challenged to make good and put actions behind our words. Quarter Moons occur when the Moon and Sun are squaring each other, an aspect of tension, that is challenging us to grow. We are being asked to put in a plan and to affirm our intentions.

This Quarter Moon is at 27 degrees of Taurus. Taurus, like Aquarius, is a fixed sign, so it likes things to be steady and stable. We are asked to think about our long term plans. Taurus is an Earth sign so wants us to take action that is concrete and grounded in the real world. Aquarius being an air sign is about ideas and ideals, and Taurus is about the physical world. How do we bring these ideas into material reality? Taurus rules nature, food, money and what we value or find beautiful. Can we take these innovative and revolutionary ideas and make them beautiful, practical and real? This is the challenge of this First Quarter Moon.

 

This Quarter Moon is conjunct Uranus, the planet of chaos, change and inspiration. We are being asked to let go of rigid thinking and get creative in making things happen. This Moon is also more challenging as it is square the Aquarius line up of Pluto, the Sun, Mars, and Mercury all in this sign. Venus also joins the Aquarius party on this day. With so much airy and idealistic energy, the Moon provides a reality check which may not always be welcome. We are getting support from Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, who are sextile, so we are able to make our ideas reality, if we are willing to work within our current limitations.

 

The Sabian Symbol for this Quarter Moon is “A Woman Pursued by Mature Romance”. This symbol is about how we can pursue romance or any of our dreams at any age, and that with that age comes maturity. We no longer go for what is flashy, novel or exciting, but rather look for what is of real value and substance. With this Quarter Moon, we are being asked to look at our ideals in a more mature and realistic way, and to see what the essence of it is. It is okay if our goal does not come to us in the package we might expect. Sometimes it is best to allow the Universe to deliver it to us in the way we need, rather than the way we want.
