The full moon/lunar eclipse in Libra will be exact at 3:06 a.m. on March 25. This is a penumbral eclipse, which means that the moon will only pass over the outer edge of Earth’s shadow. The moon’s journey across the earth’s shadow will begin at 12:53 and end at 5:32 a.m. Astrologically, the energy of this eclipse is not as strong as when the moon is totally eclipsed by the Earth and visually, it looks much like a typical full moon.

Nevertheless, this lunar eclipse is still a super-charged full moon and the full moon symbolism still applies. It’s about letting go of situations and mindsets that you have outgrown. It’s about seeing the results of the hard work you have put into certain areas of your life.

Eclipses are associated with dramatic life changes and as such, many people get nervous about what could possibly happen during eclipse season. With all full moons, emotions run high. But with a lunar eclipse, the intensity may be felt during the entire full moon cycle, not just on the day of the full moon. Other astrological transits that happen during eclipse season also seem more intense, which may cause you to feel anxious and out of sorts.

Keep in mind, though, that whatever happens during eclipse season is just a continuation of your life. Changes that happen as a result of the eclipse energy usually don’t happen out of the blue. Rather, it’s a progression of what is already going on with you.

The difference is that you may not have paid much attention to the signs and synchronicities that led up to the changes. The details were “eclipsed” from your view and you may be caught by surprise, even though the seeds were planted long ago and the crops were growing all along.

By the same token, because the eclipse energy is heightened, it may not be wise to push your agenda too hard during eclipse season. Also, remember that in this case, Mercury retrograde starts on April 1, so pace yourself. The cosmic energies themselves will likely guide you to where you need to be. The goal is for you to be observant, aware, intentional, and flexible. Navigate your life and honor any emotions that may come up for you during this time as a way of co-creating your future.

How or if this full moon/lunar eclipse in Libra will affect you depends on your astrological chart. But generally speaking, think about what the zodiac sign of Libra represents to get an idea of how to work with the energies.

Some of the keywords for Libra are relationships, balance, and fairness. Therefore, in any area of your life, think about how you can eliminate aspects of your life that are not balanced and fair. With Libra now in the south node, the cosmic goal is to make sure you are being fair to yourself first and foremost, rather than compromising to the point where other people are happy and you feel short changed.

Adopting this attitude and enforcing healthy boundaries within relationships will serve you well during these next two weeks. Looking ahead, the new moon/total solar eclipse in Aries is coming up on April 8. At that time, you will begin to see tremendous possibilities for self-empowerment. We will still have to get through the rest of Mercury retrograde, but at least there will be a light at the end of the tunnel.
