Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Libra: March 2024
Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse: March 25 1:00 a.m. PDT, at 5° Libra
I always say, "set intentions on a New Moon that is also a Solar Eclipse only if you're a risk taker at heart". Your desires can in fact materialize fast - I have a first-hand experience with this, and so do some of my clients. But, what you're asking for can come into your life in an unexpected and possibly even jarring way.
The same applies to a Lunar Eclipse, but to a lesser degree. So if you need some major help from the Universe to get rid of indecision, having a hard time with setting boundaries, or being a people-pleaser, set your intentions!
The New and Full Moon come in pairs, in the opposite signs of the Zodiac. But, there is usually a quality these opposite signs share. For Aries and Libra, it's all about finding balance between assertiveness and cooperation, and your needs and the needs of those around you. Aries is the warrior, boldly charging ahead. And Libra is the diplomat who prefers peace at all costs.
While you get the best results if your New and Full Moon intentions are aligned with the astrological sign of the Moon, you’re not limited to these areas – anything that is not working is fair game to be released!
Then, at the next New Moon (April 8), set intentions for new beginnings. But only if you're a risk-taker at heart! It's also a Solar Eclipse.
How To:
- Set aside about 30 minutes after the Moon becomes full. Within 24 hours will still work.
- Prepare your space. You will need to focus on your intentions. It may help to light a candle and burn some incense. A black candle is traditionally associated with removing things from your life, but a white candle will work as well.
- Spend a few minutes writing in your gratitude journal (or simply make a list of what you’re grateful for). This is IMPORTANT! Don't skip this step. By thanking the Universe for the good things in your life, however small, you're energetically aligning yourself to receive more blessings.
- Then focus on what you want to release (behaviours or circumstances that don’t serve your goals). Truly FEEL your intentions. This is also important. You need to infuse your intentions with energy. You WANT to leave this place of indecision, after all. You WANT to be able to stand your ground, even if it makes you unpopular for a while. You can write your intentions on a piece of paper and burn it if you wish.
Sample Intentions:
“I’m letting go of my need to keep peace at all costs. I want to easily be able to take assertive action when I need to.”
“I want paralyzing indecision about _________ gone from my life. I want to easily recognize and be able to move forward with the option that is the best for me”.
“I want my need to be liked by everyone lifted from me.”
Eclipses in Predictive Astrology:
When an eclipse connects with your natal chart, it can bring an eventful period. Pay attention to this eclipse if you were born on these dates:
- March 23-28
- Sept. 25 -30
You are also likely to feel the impact if you have personal planets/angles (Ascendant, Descendant, MC or IC) between 3-7° Aries or Libra. Check the House (=area of your life) the eclipse falls in your natal chart. This area will be energized for the next 6 months.
