Here comes March, and we go into March with a Pisces New Moon and our first eclipse for 2024, a Lunar Eclipse in Libra. What is a New Moon?
A new moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact same position in the Zodiac (called a conjunction). New moons are related to beginnings, have high energy, and are enthusiastic.
What is a Lunar Eclipse?
A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact opposite positions in the Zodiac (called an opposition). Full moons are related to endings, culminations, and are emotional energy. A Lunar Eclipse occurs when Full Moons are within 18 1/2 degrees of the Lunar Nodes (the points where the Moon's orbit crosses the ecliptic).
New Moon in Pisces: March 10th 2024 (5AM ET/2AM PT)
The Pisces New Moon can be a great time for creativity since Pisces rules imagination and fantasy, and we can get lost in daydreams. This can be channeled into creative projects and ventures, and we can get inspired more easily.
Pisces is a compassionate sign, so empathy and understanding can also be strong with the New Moon. We may want to be of help in new ways, and focus on trying to help those who can't help themselves. Pisces is the sign of spirituality, so this can be a time to start new spiritual ventures. We can make more time to connect with our intuition and subconscious mind, and we can feel more in tune with the subtle energies all around us. Pisces rules what's hidden, so we may become aware of something that has been hidden, some sort of secret, and can work well alone. While we may want to be of help, we can also find we do our best on our own, in the background, and behind the scenes. Pisces is the last Zodiac sign, so we may also take some time to clear things out and make room for anything new to come. We can also reflect more on the past, but in a less emotional way, and get more understanding. The New Moon is sextile (beneficial aspect, two signs away) transit (moving) Uranus in Taurus, and this helps us with making changes, and we can take a different approach than usual. We can embrace the unconventional, be inventive, and can be true to our unique selves. We can be independent and open. The new moon occurs at 20 degrees 17 minutes Pisces. The aspects to the new moon are: Conjunction: 18 degrees 17 minutes - 22 degrees 17 minutes Pisces Sextile: 18 degrees 17 minutes - 22 degrees 17 minutes Taurus or Capricorn Square: 18 degrees 17 minutes - 22 degrees 17 minutes Gemini or Sagittarius Trine: 18 degrees 17 minutes - 22 degrees 17 minutes Cancer or Scorpio Opposition: 18 degrees 17 minutes - 22 degrees 17 minutes Virgo Lunar Eclipse in Libra: March 25th 2024 (3:01AM ET/12:01AM PT)
Our first eclipse for 2024 comes in March, and it's a Lunar Eclipse in Libra. Libra is the sign of relationships, so the Libra Lunar Eclipse puts our connections under the microscope. We can focus on figuring out which relationships are going well, and which aren't.
The ones that are going well, we can become more committed to. We can enjoy getting more time with these people, and want to feel even closer. That can mean that some take the next step in the relationship or partnership, whatever that may be. The ones that aren't going well, we have to decide if we can salvage this or not. If we can, we can put in the work and focus on trying to be more understanding. We can see both sides more clearly, and that helps. If we can't salvage it, we may walk away, or try to get more distance so it's not weighing on us so much anymore. We can be much more compromising in an attempt to keep the peace since chaos and fighting can throw us off in a big way with this eclipse. We much prefer keeping everything calm, serene, and harmonious. We can be diplomatic and tactful as a result. The Lunar Eclipse is trine (beneficial aspect, four signs away) transit Pluto in Aquarius, and this helps with passion and intensity in our dealings with others. We can feel much more connected, and strengthen emotional bonds as we're more comfortable with intimacy. We can also transform our relationships, or transform ourselves via our connections. One little note: This is the only Lunar Eclipse in Libra for this Aries-Libra eclipse set, so the impact might be strong right around when this eclipse occurs, and whatever passes may go through quickly instead of lingering for months/years. The Lunar Eclipse occurs at 5 degrees 7 minutes Libra. Aspects to the Lunar Eclipse are: Conjunction: 0 degrees 7 minutes - 10 degrees 7 minutes Libra Semisextile: 3 degrees 7 minutes - 7 degrees 7 minutes Virgo or Scorpio Sextile: 0 degrees 7 minutes - 10 degrees 7 minutes Leo or Sagittarius Square: 0 degrees 7 minutes - 10 degrees 7 minutes Cancer or Capricorn Trine: 0 degrees 7 minutes - 10 degrees 7 minutes Gemini or Aquarius Quincunx: 3 degrees 7 minutes - 7 degrees 7 minutes Taurus or Pisces Opposition: 3 degrees 7 minutes - 10 degrees 7 minutes Aries Suggested Reading: The New & Full Moons page for general interpretations by house and aspect Comments are closed.
