Full Moon Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in Libra
Sun in Aries

5 degrees, 07 minutes
Monday, March 25, 2024
12:00 noon (Pacific Time)

The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse illuminates the conflict between “me” and “you,” and between autonomy and sharing.

A Lunar Eclipse occurs when the Sun’s light reflecting off of the Moon’s surface is blocked by the Earth as it passes between the Sun and the Moon. A Partial or Penumbral Lunar Eclipse happens when the Sun, Earth and Moon are lined up in a way that the Earth’s shadow only partially covers the Moon.

An eclipse is a reset for the Collective Consciousness of Humanity and for us as an individual. This is why it is so important to be aware of where we are putting our focus of attention during an eclipse. Remember, this is a moment-by-moment choice. Every thought is either an extension of love or a projection of fear. If you find yourself going in the direction of fear, stop, laugh at yourself, take a breath, and choose anew. Your thoughts will most certainly affect the energetic outcome of your life and this world.

“You may believe that you are responsible
for what you do, but not for what you think.
The truth is that you are responsible for
what you think, because it is only
at this level that you can exercise choice.
What you do comes from what you think.”

- Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love:
Reflections on the Principles of
"A Course in Miracles"

This Lunar Eclipse is part of a set of eclipses falling along the Aries/Libra sign axis from April 2023 to March 2025. It’s the third eclipse in a set of six occurring along this axis.

1. Annular Total SOLAR Eclipse April 20, 2023; in Aries
2. Annular SOLAR Eclipse October 14, 2023; in Libra
3. Penumbral LUNAR Eclipse March 25, 2024; in Libra
4. Total SOLAR Eclipse April 8, 2024; in Aries
5. Annular SOLAR Eclipse October 2, 2024; in Libra
6. Partial SOLAR Eclipse March 29, 2025; in Aries

This eclipse serves as a nudge, or push to resolve matters, strike a balance, and move on. It encourages us to look more closely at our needs, lacks, and wants and create a balance in all areas of our life.

Because this Full Moon is in the sign of Libra, a great energy lights up our relationships, creativity, and art – poetry, music, dance and so on. This is a wonderful time to socialize and enjoy music and the arts. Inspirations and the desire to find balance and harmony within these areas of your life may capture your attention and expand your mind. Libra energy is about social connections, partnerships, teamwork, and artistic appreciation. You may want to bring your relationships to a deeper level, or possibly end them and move on.

The Sun in Aries stimulates our desire to take action, begin new projects and make changes. Aries is dynamic and impulsive warrior energy. We may feel less tolerant of anything or anyone that seems to disagree with our point of view or restrict our freedom. The “me first” attitude of Aries can go to the extremes of selfishness, crudeness, egotistical attitudes, and foolhardiness, if it’s not tempered by sensitivity to others, compassion, and a strong guiding idealism.

A Full Moon always opposes the Sun. With the Sun in Aries and the Full Moon in Libra, you might be feeling a bit out of balance or out of harmony with certain relationships. Check in with yourself and ask, “What emotions and inner knowing are coming up for me as a result of this conflict?” and “What can I do to create balance and harmony in my life?” This is actually good time for emotional healing and insights through associations with wise friends and self-help groups.

At the same time – Venus, Saturn, Mars, and Neptune (all in the sign of Pisces) – are guiding us to contemplate and express ourselves with altruistic and compassionate intentions. Venus brings creative and emotional awareness and balance to all endeavors and expressions. Saturn supports functionality in all that we do. Mars brings passion and excitement. Neptune brings intuitive, compassionate, spiritual visions that will guide us and bring the most positive outcomes that can bless all experiences with good feelings of the heart. These energies bring functionality and longevity to our inspired and positive creations.

 

 

Spring Equinox
March 19th

This day is the beginning of the new
zodiacal year and is one of the
major power days of the year!

This year’s Spring Equinox occurs on Tuesday, March 19th at 8:07 pm PDT and is the most powerful day for positive changes in the entire year of 2024! This is because it’s one of the major power days of the year and it occurs before two eclipses - the Lunar Eclipse on March 25th and the Total Solar Eclipse on April 8th. The two-week period between two eclipses is an especially powerful time to manifest our desires. Whatever you think and intend has increased universal power to actualize in physical reality.

The Spring Equinox and Full Moon Penumbral Lunar Eclipse, happen within six days of each other! These two significant and powerful celestial events are lining up to help us make breakthroughs in our lives and to find ways to heal ourselves! If you feel like you are at the precipice of a significant change or a defining moment, these two celestial events can help you to step into the next chapter of your life.

On the equinox, the length of time of the day and night are equal. For those of us who live in the northern hemisphere, the days of the following three months will become increasingly longer, by about 2 minutes per day, until June 20th - which is the Summer Solstice. In the southern hemisphere, the days after the equinox will become increasingly shorter.

The Spring Equinox happens at the beginning of the Sun’s transit through the sign of Aries and is an excellent time for renewal and new beginnings. It is the perfect time to ‘mix things up a bit’, try new things and purposefully re-invent ourselves. For example, you could give away possessions and clothes that you haven’t used or worn in over a year. Clean out your closets, garages, sheds, attics and so on. You’ll be amazed how liberating and catalytic this can be. When you release the things that you don’t use or need, you make room in your life for fresh and new experiences. Change your routines. Break up old daily habits and create new patterns. Take a different route to work. Visit new cities or countries, try new recipes, join self-help groups or volunteer for an altruistic activity. These new activities and patterns will activate new frequencies in your life and bring new experiences to you.

All proclamations and intentions that we combine with compassion, unconditional love and courageous actions will bear dynamic results. It is imperative that we are consciously aware of where we are placing our focus of attention, so that we are coming from our heart center when we proclaim our intentions. Be sure to invite Divine guidance to help you with this. We like to begin each day with this prayer: “Divine Great Spirit, where would you have me go today? What would you have me do? What would you have me say? And to whom?” Then we add the statement, “May Divine Will be done.”

Because Universal energies are constantly changing and expanding, so are we! We are not limited by finances, physical location and other people’s thoughts or opinions. We are Spiritual beings in physical bodies. It’s time to embrace this awareness and be the powerful creators that we are!

Only when you’ve pushed yourself beyond your own boundaries and fears, will you ever know what is possible for you.

In Love & Light,
Govinda & Samadhi
