The March 25 Libra Full Moon is no ordinary lunation but a penumbral lunar eclipse, lending it an extra dose of transformative energy. Traditionally, Libra, ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and attraction, focuses on partnerships, from romantic entanglements to business collaborations. So, this eclipse is likely to stir things up in these areas. It’s a chance to restore harmony in our relationships and balance our desire for connection with prioritizing our needs.
Similarly to any other astrological event, this eclipse does not happen in a vacuum. As the ruler of Libra, Venus is a key player here. After the chilly realms of Capricorn and Aquarius, her arrival in Pisces on March 11 provided a welcome respite that we will enjoy until April 5. The goddess of goodies is having a great time in her sign of exaltation. Hosted by generous Jupiter and dreamy Neptune, her journey in Pisces is a time for a deep dive into the world of romance, imagination, and boundless emotion. Shortly before and after the event, Venus, the ruler of Libra, connects with Saturn, Jupiter, and Uranus, which will hugely impact the outcomes of the eclipse. Let’s look behind the scenes and see what these cosmic encounters mean for our lives.
On March 21, the day after the spring equinox, Venus meets Saturn, the stern taskmaster of the zodiac. In astrology, these two aren’t exactly dance partners. Their conjunction can bring a reality check in the form of a temporary block in love or finances. But a few days later, between March 24 and 28, Venus forms harmonious connections with expansive Jupiter and innovative Uranus, both in Taurus. So, the period marked by the lunar eclipse isn’t about harsh restrictions but rather a chance to prune away what no longer serves us and make room for healthier relationships and business strategies to flourish.
The best way to make Saturn a valuable ally is to work with its energy, not against it. For example, a tight budget forces you to be creative with your finances, leading to smarter spending habits. You can also develop a healthier eating and exercise plan to help you shed those winter pounds. In the case of a troubled relationship, self-reflection, honest communication, and perhaps the guidance of a therapist, counselor, or psychic can be helpful. Even a breakup can catalyze self-discovery, leading you to recognize unhealthy patterns and attract healthier relationships in the future. For the artistically inclined, the Venus-Saturn conjunction brings the discipline and focus necessary to turn creative visions into reality. Since the Aries Equinox marks the beginning of the astrological New Year, it can also set your direction for growth for the next 12 months.
The Venus-Jupiter sextile on March 24 reinforces these themes. Rather than depriving yourself, you can have your cake and eat it, too, as long as you put in the effort and make conscious choices for lasting progress. This alignment will facilitate finding the right tools, resources, and helpers to smooth this journey. In addition, the Libra Full Moon on March 25 will illuminate your path, making it clearer where your opportunities lie and what steps you must take to achieve them. Following the Full Moon, the Venus-Uranus sextile, perfecting on March 28, can bring unexpected and very positive breakthroughs in these areas. However, since we are talking about a 60° aspect, staying proactive is essential to harnessing this powerful energy.
Reaping the Rewards
If you have done the necessary groundwork, prepare for pleasant surprises and positive disruptions. Here are some possibilities:
Finances and Career: A raise or other windfall could be on the horizon if you diligently follow your budget. Unexpected opportunities may arise for job seekers, stagnant businesses may suddenly take off, or that long-awaited promotion may land in your lap.
Love: Those who sincerely try to work through these complex issues with their partners can reap a deeper connection and stronger bond. Sparks can be suddenly rekindled in relationships stuck in a rut, and a potential long-term partner could appear in the most unexpected place for singles.
Creativity: Inspiration will strike and there could be a creative explosion for artists.
This powerful cosmic mix could inspire some of you to break free from unhealthy patterns and commit to a life that truly lights you up. The eclipse may bring challenges for everyone, but it also holds the potential for growth, abundance, and delightful surprises. The Universe works with those who work with it. We can all turn potential trials into triumphs by staying open to the possibilities and making the necessary efforts.
