This year’s first Eclipse Season starts strong on the 25th of March with a Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Libra. In this blog post, we will delve into the meaning of a Lunar Eclipse, the most significant transits during this period, and how each zodiac sign will be affected by it.Â
What is a Lunar Eclipse and how does it affect us?Â
An astrological Lunar Eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, creating a shadow that partially or fully covers the Moon. This alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon is significant in astrology because it represents a heightened period of energy and potential change. Eclipses are often seen as cosmic resets or catalysts for transformation, both on a personal and collective level.
When a Lunar Eclipse happens in a particular zodiac sign, such as Libra in this case, it adds an extra layer of meaning to the event. Libra is an air sign associated with balance, relationships, harmony, and justice.
A Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Libra signifies a period of heightened emotions and potential for change, particularly in relationships and balance. This Eclipse may bring endings or shifts in partnerships, prompting a reevaluation of fairness and harmony in your life. Themes of justice and diplomacy are highlighted, urging you to seek balance and advocate for what is right. Emotional release and a shift in values towards beauty and peace are also likely during this time. While these changes may feel intense, they often lead to personal growth and new opportunities once the Eclipse energy settles. The specific impact of this Lunar Eclipse on you will depend on the House where your Libra sign is located, something which we'll explore shortly.
