Mid March Forecast – Time for a change

Virgo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse & Mercury Retrograde

On the 14th, we have a powerful Virgo Full Moon at 23°, which also happens to be a Lunar Eclipse! As if that wasn’t enough cosmic action, Mercury ~ Virgo’s ruler ~ will turn retrograde in Aries at 9° shortly after the eclipse. This combination makes for a potent period of introspection, shifts, and karmic closures.

The Energy of a Virgo Full Moon & Lunar Eclipse

A Full Moon in this sign typically highlights themes of self-improvement, daily routines, work-life balance, and physical well-being. However, since this is a Lunar Eclipse, the effects are amplified and can feel fated. Eclipses bring revelations, sudden endings, and powerful realignments, especially in areas where we’ve been avoiding necessary changes. At 23°, this Virgo Moon calls for discernment. Are we overextending ourselves in the pursuit of perfection? Are we stuck in analysis paralysis? This lunation will shine a light on what needs fine-tuning, pushing us to release outdated habits and take a more holistic approach to life.

Mercury Retrograde in Aries:

Mercury retrograde in Aries (starting at 9°) slows down our impulse-driven thoughts and asks us to reassess how we assert ourselves. Aries energy is about initiating action, but with Mercury backtracking, we might find ourselves revisiting old arguments, reworking plans, or dealing with past frustrations resurfacing. -Let’s not forget that Mars, the ruler of Aries, and the planet of our drive and passion, is still in Cancer. All in all, this spring is going to feel like a bit slow and kind of frustrating, instead of renewal and freshness…

Patience will be key for sure, as Aries prefers quick resolutions, but Mercury retrograde reminds us that rushing leads to mistakes. Miscommunications and tech issues are likely as usual, so double-check important details and give yourself extra time when planning.
