The lunar eclipse in Libra gracefully lands on March 25th at 5 degrees on oh so appropriately Monday or Moon-day. Eclipses bring an air of darkness leading us to go inward. The theme of this eclipse is Libran, having us think about the big picture and what is good for both parties involved (relational) in any and all things coming to the surface at this time. Relationship is front and center and how well we can be aware within one. How well can we keep the balance between our own needs and the needs of the other person? We will be drawn to reflect on our attachment style and how to relate to other people, partners, children and any one-on-one relationships alike.
Both eclipses this season focus on relationships, but this one is more about what we have to bravely release in order to stay true, aligning our inner and outer worlds. That can mean releasing people-sure, but it can also mean relationship patterns that are no longer serving us or ways of doing things that have gotten us into this place feeling so much unrest.
The ruler of this lunation is Venus because it rules Libra, and it is making a sextile with Jupiter giving an expansive feeling to what we are aware of about ourselves when it comes to relationships.
There is a heightened awareness around what you want in relationships and just mulling over the dynamics, the give and take of your own relational needs preluding, during and after this eclipse on the 25th. This lunar eclipse spotlights just how much pleasing others in relationships have taken from you. The time has come where we have to take accountability for our role in allowing the relational patterns to go on for so long. This is a time to figure out how to create more equitable partnerships.
Being scared to be left is coming up. Finding your identity without AND within relationships are on topic.
A lot of people could be closing up toxic long-term cycles but only truly closing them for good if they are willing to take a look at their side of the street and clean it up.
Eclipses bring a portal, the 2 weeks in between one from the next, to work with the energy of the 2 signs and their energies. These next two weeks ask you to reflect on your part in relationships and honoring your authentic needs. How can you meet them in your relationships while also honoring and respecting whoever you are in one with?
Not an easy task, one that requires awareness both inner and outer, awareness is the key thread that Aries and Libra hold between one another. If you can harness both the inner self-awareness of your needs and the outer awareness of the other (insert whichever relationship) you can find peace and harmony within and without.
Sounds like Utopia but it can be achieved if you work around attachment style, emotional regulation, somatics and simple self-reflection:
“Who am I?”
“How do I want to feel in my relationships?”
“How do I show up in relationships and why might that be?”
“How do I want to show up?”
“What do I need to show up that way?”
“What can I control about that-what’s my part?”
“When I get triggered how do I work through it without disconnecting?”
You don’t have to leave a partnership, every person in the world isn’t going to be feeling the urge to leave, and you may feel this energy even still and want to mull over these questions improving how you’re showing up in all the relationships in your life AND some people will break up because it’s just that time. Only the individual will know that after sorting through these clarifying inquiries and energies around relationship.
Wishing everyone a time of pause and release under the darker skies-
