We stand on the precipice of the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on March 25th, 2024, a celestial event poised to catalyze profound shifts in our lives as the first eclipse in the series of 4 powerful eclipses in 2024. And it's also the preceding eclipse leading up to the Great American Eclipse on April 8th, 2024. There are also very potent solar storms simultaneously occurring to amplify these eclipse energies.
This lunar eclipse occurs at 4 degrees of Libra, amplifying themes of balance, relationships, harmony and justice. Or, releasing that which detracts or prohibits those themes. However, its significance extends beyond the confines of this cardinal air sign, as it forms potent alignments with other celestial bodies.
Notable Planetary Aspects:
- Conjunction with Mercury in Aries: This alignment emboldens communication and intellectual clarity, urging us to articulate our needs and desires within our relationships. Speak passionately, but careful not to unintentionally scorch listening ears, or initiate conflict.
- Square with Pluto in Aquarius: The intense energy of this aspect challenges us to confront unjust and inequitable power dynamics and catalyzes transformation within our partnerships or to move beyond them, fostering deep emotional growth.
- Trine with Mars in Pisces: This harmonious aspect infuses the eclipse with assertive energy, empowering us to take decisive action in pursuit of greater harmony and balance.
This Libra Eclipse serves as a precursor to the Solar Eclipse in Aries on April 8th, and acts as a powerful portal laying the groundwork for the transformative energies to come. While Libra encourages us to seek equilibrium and harmony in our relationships, the later Aries eclipse ignites the flame of individuality, personal will, and self-discovery.

Lunar eclipses occur at full moons: it's about karmic release.
In addition to shaking things up, there's a karmic reason or purpose for the upheaval. Full moons are when tides are high, emotions are elevated, and what needs releasing becomes apparent under the light of the full moon. So what a lunar eclipse shakes loose is meant to be released. Lunar eclipses tend to mark endings, making room for beginnings, or preparing us for the next phase of transformation we'll undergo at the subsequent solar eclipse.
