Hi friends! How are you? I hope your day is going well so far!
On Tuesday, March 3rd at 3:33 a.m. PST, there will be a Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo, a Blood Moon. (Info in this video on how to see it)
Astrology is the study of cycles.
Observation. Pattern recognition.
It’s watching the sky move and realizing our lives move with it.
Eclipses represent change. Turning points. And these eclipses are part of a story. It’s a continuation of the Virgo–Pisces eclipse cycle that began in September 2024 and will carry us through 2027.
If you’ve read Cosmic Care or have been here with me for a while, you might know I love using the analogy of a book to help people understand astrology. Your birth chart is your cosmic story. The planets are the characters. The transits are the evolving plot…
And eclipses?
They’re the chapters where something shifts. Plot twists so to speak.
In Virgo, this eclipse brings the themes of refinement. Virgo is the editor of the zodiac. The one who notices the details. The one who wants things to function well. This eclipse invites release. Clearing. Letting go of things once felt necessary but are no longer sustainable.
Virgo reminds us that small changes create long-term shifts. A new intention.
A boundary. A different way of speaking to yourself. A gentler standard.
This isn’t about becoming perfect. It’s about releasing perfectionism.
What is no longer sustainable for you?
What daily pattern is draining you?
Where are you criticizing yourself instead of giving yourself compassion?
This is the chapter where you clear the clutter, edit the sentence, and make space for a truer narrative moving forward.
Trust the revision. Trust the rhythm. And trust that what is leaving is doing so to make space for something better.
A good practice for this Virgo Blood Moon from my Cosmic Magic Oracle guidebook:
Try clearing the energy in your space. There are many ways to do this, which include burning some clearing incense like rosemary or lavender or Palo Santo, or working with clearing crystals like selenite and clear quartz, sound clearing with singing bowls or bells, or misting a salt spray in the air. You can try whatever resonates with you! You can also physically clear the energy in your space if you choose by doing things like reorganizing, decluttering, etc. The goal is just to look at what might be in your life that is no longer serving you so you can clear it away and make space for some new energy.
Sending you so much love today and always🖤- Val
