« Pay attention and skim present notes

Hey Invisible Pal, April right here, and the date at the moment is March twenty fifth, 2024. Welcome to Episode 227 of the Huge Sky Astrology Podcast. This week, there’s virtually nothing occurring apart from the opening salvo on this eclipse season, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on March twenty fifth at 12 midnight Pacific time. So, this episode is mainly going to be one massive Moon report.

Libra Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse (March 25, 2024, 12 midnight PDT)

The week begins with the Moon Report and the Libra Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on March twenty fifth at 12 midnight Pacific Time at 5º7’ Libra. That is the second Libra Eclipse since final October 14th’s Photo voltaic Eclipse at 21º7’ Libra. There’s solely going to be another Libra eclipse on this sequence, that’ll be on October 2nd this yr.

Eclipses inspire us to maneuver from the South Node to the North Node, and that course of takes place over 18 months, with eclipses each six months in a single signal of a polarity or the opposite. Eclipses like this one, that fall close to the Moon’s south node, encourage us to let go of outdated, unhelpful patterns. Whereas eclipses have been in Aries and Libra starting in April 2023, and so they’ll be in these indicators by March 2025, the North Node eclipses have emphasised the necessity for independence and braveness, the Aries qualities of the North Node, whereas the South Node eclipses shake us out of conditions the place we’ve grown slightly too reliant on others.

Lunar eclipses all the time have an effect on relationships, as a result of they occur at a Full Moon when the Solar and Moon are in opposition to one another. Nevertheless it’s particularly the case at this lunar eclipse as a result of it’s in Libra, an indication of relating. This eclipse reveals the place we now have been hanging on slightly too tightly to {our relationships} with others, possibly even getting slightly codependent, and the place we have to let go of that behavior in order that we will transfer ahead in the direction of the independence represented by the North Node in Aries.

I feel it’s all the time useful with eclipses to not solely have a look at the home of your chart the place the eclipse level falls. On this case, 05º07’ Libra, and in addition the planets which can be being aspected inside 4º of a conjunction, sq., or opposition. But in addition to look again at earlier years when eclipses had been close to this similar eclipse level. In latest reminiscence, these embrace a lunar eclipse on March twenty third, 2016, at 03º17′ Libra, and again on March twenty fourth, 1997, at 03º35′ Libra. It may be useful to you to return to these intervals of time, to recollect what was occurring in your life, whether or not there have been themes that joined these specific years collectively, and most significantly, whether or not you’ll be able to see some connection to what’s occurring in your life at the moment, and particularly relating to relationships.

The Sabian image for the Moon is 6 Libra, Supreme of a person abundantly crystallized, and the Solar is on 6 Aries, A sq. brightly lighted on one facet. One method to interpret that image for the Moon is, your thoughts might be set on a selected supreme of what you suppose is ideal, however the Solar image highlights a selected facet of the story that you will have neglected.

Perhaps you keep in mind, for example, a selected picture of the perfect accomplice. And possibly you haven’t been capable of finding this accomplice, or the accomplice that you’ve got doesn’t measure up not directly to this supreme that you simply maintain pricey. That is a part of what’s being illuminated and woke up at this lunar eclipse, that perfection doesn’t exist in terms of relationship, and it’s good to have requirements and to know your self properly sufficient to know who belongs in your life and who doesn’t, however you’re by no means going to get perfection. And there comes some extent the place we now have to be prepared to reassess our beliefs.

The Solar is on that humorous diploma, 6 Aries, A sq. brightly lighted on one facet. And what I make of that’s that there’s one a part of this good sq. that retains catching your eye as a result of it alone is lit up. It might be that the imperfect individual finally ends up being much better for you than the picture that you simply’ve been carrying round in your head.

That is the Full Moon in a Lunar Part Household Cycle that started on September 25, 2022, with a New Moon at 02º48′ Libra. What’s it that was conceived or supposed at the moment, that’s now totally and brightly illuminated?

The First Quarter on this part was on June 26, 2023, when there was an motion of some variety that wanted to be taken in response to that New Moon. And the Final Quarter Moon on this sequence comes on December twenty second, 2024, when there’s one remaining decisive motion that can should be taken to be able to convey this specific cycle and story to fruition.

Void-of-Course Moon Durations

Let’s have a look at the Void-of-Course Moon intervals for this week. On March twenty sixth, the Moon in Libra opposes Mercury in Aries at 4:09 pm Pacific Time. It’s Void of Course for about 10 hours earlier than it enters Scorpio on March twenty seventh at 2:03 am. Opposition features convey an consciousness. The attention potential right here is that there’s a have to stability getting together with others in opposition to the necessity to communicate our minds with out apology.  It’s not all the time comfy to face up for what we really feel strongly about, however it’s typically essential that we achieve this for our personal sense of integrity. It is a Void-of-Course Moon interval to consciously work on giving up the behavior of being a folks pleaser, of going together with others greater than you actually ought to, and as a substitute to attempt to consciously domesticate new habits of being extra forthright. You don’t should be imply, you don’t should battle with folks, however typically the kindest factor to do is to be very truthful.

On March twenty ninth, the Moon in Scorpio trines Neptune at 8:40 am Pacific Time.  It’s Void-of-Course for almost 4 and one-quarter hours after which enters Sagittarius at 12:52 pm. Trine features point out rewards. The reward right here is that if you happen to’ve been cautious about getting near others, because the Moon in Scorpio typically is, because of this while you do get near somebody, you’ll be able to really feel protected to essentially give your all to the individual and the connection. You’ll be able to solely actually belief somebody in the event that they’ve proven you over a time frame that they deserve that belief and this trine to Neptune says that there’s someone in your circle who has earned that belief.

And on March thirty first, the Moon in Sagittarius squares Neptune at 5:16 pm Pacific Time, it’s Void-of-Course for slightly below 4 hours after which enters Capricorn at 9:05 pm. Sq. features convey a problem, and the problem right here is between Sagittarius’ optimism and adventurousness and belief on the earth versus a sure disappointment, slightly little bit of melancholy that comes from Neptune, that’s normally concerning the disappointment of letting go to be able to transfer ahead towards a vivid and optimistic future. Throughout this Void-of-Course Moon, it’s value having a look at the place in your life you could have chosen holding on as a substitute of shifting ahead on a pleasant path.
