Between Two Eclipses: What March 3rd Means for You

Does it feel like everything is slowly breaking down right now? Like you're being asked to let go of things you weren't ready to release?

We're right in the portal between two intense eclipses, and Mercury retrograde just went into full effect today. Ya wow ok, right! This is the most intense week of the year so far, and if you're feeling it, the endings, the grief, the napss, the uncertainty, you're not imagining it. It's real.

Today, so many mini missteps marked the beginning of the retrograde: the grocery attendant gave me the wrong change, rainstorms flooded Bali (they just ended, thankfully), technology glitched on my phone and computer, plans shifted. Everything felt like it was moving through molasses.

To me it felt like this rain represented a cleansing. Literal, like we don't have to do much about it, its happening loves, allow the process to do it's work. 

The missteps reminded me to slow down and double check everything. And the eclipse coming March 3rd? It's asking us to let go of even more.

But here's what most people don't understand about this eclipse, and why it's actually a gift that I'm looking forward to.

The Virgo Lunar Eclipse - March 3rd

This full moon lunar eclipse happens at 12°54' Virgo, conjunct the South Node. South Node energy is about endings and release. What's no longer in alignment with the new era we're entering, it's time to let it go of a lot of things.

Speed it up at home, get rid of medicines, vitamins, foods, cleaning materials that you are not using. Move things around in your home, de-clutter and give away more things to charities that need them. This will give you a little extra juice during this time. 

Here's what makes this eclipse portal unique: we have double endings. The eclipse is in Virgo (your body, your health, your daily habits), but all the planets are in Pisces (your emotions, your spirituality, your grief).

Two areas of your life.

Two different kinds of endings. Both happening at once.

Virgo wants to organize and fix. But Pisces says you can't think your way through this, you have to feel your way through it.

That tension?

That's what you're experiencing.

This is a WONDERFUL time to start a journalling practise. Write down what your mind is saying and revisit the diary daily to see where you are coming from.

Most often a persistent thought wants attention, you give it attention by writing it down, it's a way of letting it go try this and watch how things open up for you.  

What This Eclipse Is Really About

This is closing-out energy focused on what you're ready to upgrade.

But first, there will be endings.

Virgo rules the mind-body connection, your nervous system, your gut health. This eclipse is bringing awareness to your stress, anxiety, how hard you're being on yourself.

And here's the truth a lot of grief is coming up right now. Not because you're doing something wrong, but because you're letting go of old versions of yourself, old patterns that kept you safe but small. We are collectively seeing things that have been hidden and the truth hasn't been easy to understand and integrate. 

This is beautifully human. This is what transformation actually looks like.

Today, out of no where I felt my recently passed away mother in law's energy in the room, she felt so close and it instantly brought me to tears. I felt my entire life in a flash in that moment. Like this is IT loves, today is all we have, so it's really time to give our all to this process, in the moment. 

All kinds of realizations are going to happen loves, allow it to pass through and allow it to transform you. 

The Gift in the Slow+Break down

The more emotionally intelligent you are right now, the faster you'll move through this. When you trust what you feel and allow it to be part of your truth, instead of pushing it down, you actually get relief.

You might find yourself wanting solitude, needing more rest.

That's not you withdrawing. That's you recalibrating. I've been taking half hour mini naps the past few days and it's been super helpful!

This eclipse is recalibrating your body-mind-emotional-spiritual self. It's messy, uncomfortable, and exactly what needs to happen for you to step into the new era.

The breakdown IS the breakthrough.

How to Navigate This Eclipse

First.. really, let's Slow down. Double check everything. Details will slip if you're rushing.

Honor the grief. Honor the fatigue. Give your body what it needs and your mind peace through listening and documenting her uprisings.

Don't make your feelings smaller. Allow yourself to be in the messiness. 

Get into your body. Move. Dance. Yoga. Walk. Create flow and release what you're holding. Movement is your medicine right now. 

Rest more than you think you need to. Your body is doing deep work.

Be gentle with yourself. If you're being critical (classic Virgo), pause. Speak to yourself like you would to someone you love.

This is not the time to have it all figured out. This is the time to trust the process and create space for what's coming.

With love,

Myrah

P.S. What you're releasing now is making space for everything you've been calling in. The eclipse isn't taking anything that was meant to stay. Trust that. 🌙
