March 2024 Libra Full Moon and Solar Eclipse

Written by Cari Campbell

Welcome to the Full Moon in Libra with a Lunar Eclipse! This is the third full moon in a row that occurs at 5 degrees, completing this three-month period of honing in on our heart’s desire and what we are manifesting. This our time to harmonize with our vision and purpose, and the solar eclipse is assisting us by allowing us to up-level our consciousness. Stephanie Azaria describes a lunar eclipse as a “reboot of emotions”…this gives us the space, if we allow it, to step forward into new emotional territory. The key
is to stay present and to allow. Watch for habitual, knee-jerk reactions and instead, breathe and practice acceptance. What within us makes us say “no” to something? What stories hold us back? Can we allow in a new perspective, and say “yes” to something that may be scary but may also take us on an entirely new, transformative path?

The Sun is conjunct Salacia, and Moon is conjunct Makemake. Salacia is considered to be Neptune’s feminine counterpart, and Makemake is the higher octave of Saturn. This makes 5D downloads more accessible to us during this lunar event. Given that both Neptune and Saturn are in nebulous Pisces, these downloads may help us make more sense of the higher impact of those planets and their transits at this time.

Pluto is an ally during this lunar event as he is manifesting with the Moon and in resource with the Sun. This lends power and purpose to our transformation. Pluto IS transformation, and it flows easily between the Moon and the Sun. Added to the power of the eclipse, and we have an amazing opportunity to transcend old habits, beliefs and emotional patterns that limit us. A grand reboot, indeed!

The Nodes are forming a boomerang yod with Jupiter in Taurus and Venus/Saturn in Pisces. The Soul Star (North Node) is still in communion with Chiron, and is the release point of this yod (meaning, it sits between the resource formed by Jupiter and Venus/Saturn, and across from the Earth Star/South Node). What has been coming up for you the past few weeks as the Soul Star and Chiron have been connected? Remember that painful memories, old habits, and stuck patterns show themselves so that we can be aware of them and then accept it and heal. Taking time to sit in awareness of our pain (rather than avoiding it or distracting ourselves) lets us move forward toward our dharma (the path of the North Node). Distracting keeps us in the energy of Karma (South Node).

The Nodes are also forming a crossroad (grand cross) with Ceres in Capricorn and the fixed star Sirius (always in Cancer). If we can get balanced and find our center, we can access the wisdom and consciousness of Sirius as well as the nurturing and birthing energies of Ceres. With no major planets in retrograde at this time, things are moving quickly, and it is always important to know how to find your center, so that you can choose wisely and from your higher self. Working with any opposition (in this case with the crossroads, we have two oppositions) requires us to get balanced and harmonize with all sides of the equation. The good news is that the Moon in balanced, harmonious Libra is supporting usto find that center point.

It’s worth pointing out that Libra is the sign of the mirrored self, which means what we see out there is our own reflection. This Libra Moon is ripe with opportunity to view our emotional triggers, our relationships, and how we care for ourselves with the clarity that we are solely responsible for ourselves, our reactions, and our self-love. If you don’t like what you are seeing in the mirror (through your relationship with the world), then ask yourself how your internal state is contributing to that
reflection. Are you giving yourself the respect, care and attention you need? Are you showing up for yourself? What is being reflected back to you that you love and enjoy? How can you cultivate more of what you want to see in the mirror? This lunar eclipse grants us the opportunity to view emotional triggers in a new, more harmonious light.

Pisces Stellium
Venus and Saturn just started a new cycle in Pisces, and Mars has just entered Pisces as well, with Neptune sitting at 28 degrees. Pisces is where we explore our spirituality, our inner self, and attune to the state of Oneness. With Venus and Saturn, we can ground our heart’s desires in a very committed, structured way, and it starts with our internal self. Saturn is our inner Executive Director, and in Pisces we can go deep in the fathoms to discover what our soul really wants to manifest. What are we committing to? Where and how are we willing to apply ourselves, and persevere? This new cycle isn’t about fleeting inspiration that fizzles out, but a deep, lasting commitment to something. Mars entering Pisces can be supportive and really help anchor what we are creating through meaningful action, but perhaps may not be as fast-moving as we would like.
Remember that Venus and Saturn are part of the Boomerang Yod with the Nodes and Jupiter, so this commitment of yours is heavily supported by Jupiter. This is part of your path of evolution. If you are wanting to get something off the ground that is spiritual or soul-centered in nature then you are very heavily supported at this time.

Remember that eclipses can be intense, but trust that it is all serving your highest good. We don’t evolve and transcend limitations on our best days. Our best days are a reward for staying present and allowing during the hard days; the “hard” days are when we do the work to accept ourselves and harmonize with spirit, our heart, and our higher mind. It’s when our growth occurs.

Wishing you a very transformative and harmonizing Full Moon!
