Introduction to Eclipse Season

Begins Tomorrow, March 25th

Eclipse Season begins tomorrow, Monday, March 25th at 3AM ET, electrifying the sky with a Full Moon in Libra. In Nashville the Eclipse will happen at 2:12am. We have our alarms set, we shall see.

Understanding the Aries–Libra Eclipse Series

The Third Installment: Dates and Duration

This Lunar Eclipse represents the third installment of the current Aries–Libra Eclipse series, which will continue through March 2025. Eclipses operate as ongoing narratives that unfold over an entire series, lasting approximately two years. Through March 2025, we’ll be grappling with the axis of “me” (Aries) vs. “we” (Libra). Aries is the sign of the individual, representing passion, independence, and heart-led drive, while Libra is the sign of partnership, representing diplomacy, justice, and cooperation.

Pisces Energy and Its Impact on the Eclipse

Even though we are, in fact, in Aries Season, this Eclipse is heavily impacted by Pisces energy. Both the Sun and Moon are being guided by separate forces: The Moon is reporting to Venus in Pisces, and the Sun is reporting to Mars in Pisces. In other words, Pisces is calling the shots behind the scenes of this Eclipse.

The Karmic Nature of Eclipses

Eclipses are cosmic moments of karmic happenings, departures, changes, upheavals, and divine blessings. Since Eclipses are guided by the North and South Nodes, they always generate powerful, fated events. They shut down existing situations that no longer serve you in order to clear space for opportunities that better align with your greater purpose. While these harsh shifts can be scary or uncomfortable, they simply expedite the truth. Often during a Lunar Eclipse our behaviors and actions are exposed. As the Moon emits a mystifying tawny tone, it allows us to see people’s “true colors” under a different light, and forces us to purge what is no longer serving the soul.

For the next few weeks, self-care is paramount.

Libra is an air sign, ruled by Venus. Venus—the planet of affection, beauty, and value is in heaven in Pisces, functioning at its best.

Libra’s Influence: Love and Beauty under the Moonlight

Libra is an air sign, ruled by Venus. Venus—the planet of affection, beauty, and value is in heaven in Pisces, functioning at its best.
