Libra Lunar Eclipse
Monday, March 25
12:00 AM PDT / 3:00 AM EDT
5 degrees Libra / Aries
As the Moon waxes toward an opposition with the exalted Aries Sun, they're aligning for Monday's lunar eclipse in Libra. A lunar eclipse is a full moon within 12 degrees of the nodal axis, which signifies shifts of fate and re-alignment of destiny.
The South Node and Moon in Libra suggest relationships, agreements and negotiations needing resolution. Assumptions we've been operating on in relationships may be revealed. Issues of fairness and equality are important, and with the Sun in Aries, there's a focus on purpose and self-interest. Something is coming to a culmination which may have a bittersweet tone to it, especially if its time is ending or transitioning into a new phase. The South Node offers a release of burdens or it can invite helpful influences from the past but with a sense that they have served their purpose.
Venus is the ruler of this lunar eclipse and is in her sign of exaltation, Pisces, where Venusian themes of pleasure, escapism, indulgence and yearning for the sublime are elevated. She is slowly emerging from her union with Saturn suggesting the need for making peace with our karmic contracts. We may be released from an agreement we've fulfilled and it may be time to discern what our heart wants to be devoted to now.
Although Venus doesn't pause for long as she moves into a sextile with generous Jupiter. Jupiter and Venus are in each others' signs and with this mutual reception suggests that the emotional upheavals of the lunar eclipse may have a softer landing or at least a sliver lining to transition into. Perhaps we have a sense that what we're leaving behind will be in good hands. We'll soon have the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction to look forward to and get excited about in the coming weeks... keep an eye out for my Jupiter-Uranus readings launching on March 30!
