The penumbral lunar eclipse occurs on March 25, at 12:00 AM Pacific Time and 3:00 AM Eastern Time. The lunar eclipse in Libra is part of the series of eclipses that began when the North and South Node of Destiny entered the Aries-Libra lunar axis on July 17, 2023 (recent previous eclipses include the total solar eclipse on April 20, 2023, and the solar eclipse on October 14, 2023). 

Eclipses make us see things that we haven't seen before or that have been on the back burner. They are extremely potent because they allow us to deal with matters that are coming to the surface of our consciousness on a personal and global level, giving us the ability to deal with situations effectively. Therefore, they are markers of extreme change that will enhance our lives. Eclipses bring change regardless of whether we are ready or not.

The lunar eclipse aspects Pluto in Aquarius and the asteroid Pallas in Sagittarius. This will motivate us to evolve our mindset and fight for our goals. Since the eclipse is on the South Node of Destiny, we'll feel a strong urge to release anything that no longer serves us. Despite this, we will try to keep meaningful things and relationships in our lives, even if we encounter some challenges.

Before the eclipse season started, Mercury entered its pre-retrograde shadow and connected with the North Node of Destiny in Aries. This means that unresolved issues from the past may resurface during the micro moon eclipse. It's important to take time to contemplate situations and gain a new perspective. However, keep in mind that there may be a lot of misinformation and miscommunication, so it's best to take a step back and think before taking any action. Rushing into things during eclipses is common, but it's important to slow down and make well-informed decisions. 

Additionally, Venus, who's in Pisces, harmonizes with Jupiter in Taurus the day before the evlipse. This suggests that we may choose to forgive and move past drama and trauma in relationships. With the cluster of planets in Pisces, including Venus, Mars, Saturn, and Neptune, it may be beneficial to tap into our intuition. Even though it may be challenging to perceive and comprehend it, we should make decisions based on how we feel rather than relying solely on facts. Mercury's retrograde may make it difficult to discern the truth in situations. Observing how things unfold without taking immediate action can help us determine if investing more effort into relationships is worthwhile. It's not necessary to rush into ending things. Take a moment to understand your emotions and decide how to proceed without external pressures. We may be more sensitive than usual, so try not to take things to heart.

It's best to not manifest during the eclipse because the energy is erratic. However, if you'd like to perform a ritual during the eclipse, you could try a spiritual cleansing of your home by lighting Palo Santo or burning Copal to get rid of negative energy. Also, taking a healing bath with Epsom salts and rose petals can help restore your energy. While this isn't necessarily a time for manifesting, you can still do other magical things that will add vitality to your life and rejuvenate your energy. Don't forget to do activities that make you happy! All of these endeavors will rejuvenate our mind, body, spirit, and heart.
