March 25, 2024: LUNAR ECLIPSE in LIBRA

Eclipses are significant events that often mark the start of new adventures and the end of old chapters in our lives. They bring unexpected energy that can speed up important changes, affecting the areas of our lives that they touch. These changes might be surprising or unsettling at first, but they are essential for our personal growth and development.

A Full Moon Penumbral LUNAR ECLIPSE happens on March 25, 2024 (3:00 PM, Philippine Time), at exactly 5°07′ of the realm of cardinal air, LIBRA, the sign of BALANCE.

WHO ARE THE MOST AFFECTED?

Those with personal planets and points from 1°-10° of the CARDINAL SIGNS (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) will feel this eclipse strongly, most especially those born on these dates:

ARIES: March 22 - 31

CANCER: June 22 - July 1

LIBRA: September 24 - October 3

CAPRICORN: December 23 - January 1

Eclipse season is here once more, dear reader, with a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse happening in the scales of Libra. This eclipse is the second installment of a 3-part saga that began last October 2023, With the last Libran eclipse happening late in the year, by October 2, 2024. The energy activated during this eclipse cycle focuses on the ARIES/LIBRA axis, creating great beginnings and great endings in the areas of our charts where these signs land.

This particular lunar eclipse highlights Libran themes of relationships, balance and harmony, and under its influence, dear reader, we are compelled to look into our relationships with a magnifying glass, zooming in on details that we usually overlook. We then see our partnerships for how they truly are in what seems like the first time in a long while.

In a way, it also amplifies themes of equality and justice, making it a time when the collective becomes hyper attuned to feelings of discrimination, prejudice, and unfair biases. In relationships, be it personal, business or any other association, we reflect: Are we being treated the way we deserve to be? Are we giving others/our partners the same courtesy? are we getting what we deserve, or are we being short changed? If the answer to our self enquiry leans towards getting the short end of the bargain, we may feel emboldened enough to step up and demand parity.

SATURN and PLUTO

This eclipse is ruled by a strong VENUS in PISCES, fostering a climate of compassion and understanding in moments of vulnerability. However, with Venus conjunct SATURN, the planet associated with duty and discipline, our comprehension of circumstances doesn’t equate to tolerating wrongdoings beyond our current limits. This aspect compels us to speak up and confront and articulate injustices, particularly in situations where we feel marginalized. The conjunction also heightens our sensitivity towards inequity, urging us to voice our concerns even in the face of minor imbalances.

Adding to the mix, PLUTO’s trine to the eclipse provides a potent undercurrent of transformation. This aspect promises deep, seismic shifts in the very foundations of how we relate to others. We are undergoing some kind of spiritual renovation, dear reader, where the outdated structures of our relationships are torn down to make way for something more authentic and aligned with our true selves. PLUTO, after all, is not known for its subtlety. It demands honesty, pushing us to confront the shadows within our connections with others and within ourselves.

EMBRACING THE ENERGY

This eclipse season is not just about reflection; it’s about taking action. In the six months following this eclipse, we’re poised to rise to the occasion, doing whatever is necessary to safeguard our inner light and spirit from being extinguished. This necessity is especially pronounced within our relationships in the specific areas of our lives touched by the eclipse’s influence.

Our actions are guided by a heightened sense of empathy and understanding, and we operate from a position of compassion. This compassion, however, is not a passive one. It becomes a call to responsibility—a reminder that understanding the root of our issues is the first step, but addressing them, setting boundaries, and demanding fairness is where the real work begins.

Although this period can be quite emotional, dear reader, remember, the middle part of any story is often the most dramatic! We are about to reach the climax in this story arc, and although it may seem like things are crumbling in the meanwhile, trust that if we operate with pure intentions and a pure heart, eventually we arrive at resolutions that eventually favor us all in the long term. Everything is a blessing if you zoom out far enough! ❤
