Teaching Lunar Eclipse on March 25, 2024
Hello Everyone,
On March 25, 2024, there will be a Lunar Eclipse at 3am EDT in the sign of Libra at 5 degrees. 5 degrees Libra holds a very important esoteric meaning: the lesson we are to learn is learning true inner knowledge. Many truths will be revealed to us in the coming weeks.
This will be a Penumbral Eclipse, the 3rd of 6 eclipses all along the Aries/Libra cardinal axis. A Penumbral Eclipse means the Moon will remain visible entirely and only darken somewhat and then resume its luster. The Aries/Libra axis deals with relationships issues, Aries with challenges among nations, peoples, you and the public, Libra deals with personal relationships, you and your immediate contacts. Challenges to all relationships and how we deal with them as has been and will continue to be, will be the overriding theme for the rest of this year and into the first half of next year. Buckle up.
This is the Lunar chart for March 25 in Libra, this is Gaia's Lunar chart., this particular chart has been calculated for the Eastern United States. The overall pattern for other parts of Gaia is the same only the time of the Eclipse will differ and whether total or partial. As you can see the chart is highly focused with all the planets, except for the Moon in the Eastern Hemisphere. The planetary energies flowing in a tight formation with the Moon in an opposition aspect, and the sole luminary on the Western Hemisphere. This is called a Stellium, when many planets occupy an array between 2 or 3 houses. The esoteric meaning for a stellium in the Eastern Hemisphere is, this is the time to learn by personal effort the following principles:
Self Determination
Self-Persistence
Courage to affect changes where changes are needed, in this case in relationships.
Look to the planets Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn and see if any are in the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn and note what house they are in. The house position will determine the type of relationship challenges you are facing. Again, the theme for the year. This tight planetary configuration will persist through the year, and the stresses, arguments and challenges you are experiencing will intensify as the Eclipses both Lunar and Solar approach.
North Node
North Node is currently transiting Aries and will continue to the end of the year. North/South Node transits through the signs indicate your soul's journey through your lifetimes. North is where you are going in your future lifetimes, and how you will resolve current challenges, or how you will use current opportunities. South is where you have come from and the issues you have brought into this lifetime to resolve and clear past Karma. In this Gaia chart the lessons the planet and humanity need to resolve are:
Trying to be nice and not fighting for your needs, wants and wishes doesn't work in the long run. Your niceness isn't appreciated.
Striving for find harmony at all costs, usually ends in failure and you are the one everyone blames for that failure.
Valuing yourself through the eyes of another fails to reveal and value your true potential.
Chiron the Centaur
Chiron is an asteroid that revolves around the Sun between Neptune and Pluto in a 50-year cycle. It is the wounded healer Centaur in Greek Mythology. Chiron is currently transiting Aries and conjunct the North Node. The house where Chiron is placed in your birth chart indicates a deep wounding that needs to be healed for you to go forward in a positive and centered manner.
In this Gaia chart we have been deeply wounded on this earth and with the placement conjunct North Node the impetus is to resolve our differences and heal our planet, during the Age of Aquarius using reason, common sense and true knowledge of how this planet works. "Know thyself", know the workings of nature and the cosmos, for the One sets its principles through the interactions of photons and electrons. Lessons indicated in this year:
Self-Worth and Inadequacy: Chiron forces us to confront issues related to low self-worth and feelings of inadequacy.
Going Our Own Way: Chiron encourages us to forge our unique path, even if it diverges from the establishment.
I would like to quickly highlight the upcoming Total Solar Eclipse of April 8th, 2024. Much confusion surrounds the two eclipses with a few astrologers comparing this eclipse to the eclipse of August 17, 2017, in the sign of Leo at 28 degrees. I feel however this is a more potent eclipse pair, the one on April 20, 2023, in the sign of Aries at 29.50 degrees (very potent degree placement) and this upcoming Total Solar Eclipse which will occur in the sign of Aries at 29 degrees (this is a return position). We have seen the effects of the 2023 eclipse on the West coast and Texas. As you can see the Total Solar Eclipse of April 8, 2024, will cross the US to the East coast, and already we are seeing great challenges in all the major cities on the East Coast and in Texas. There are a few important and telling points to this configuration which I will touch upon in my next article.
The homework has been given out people and the lessons in these series of eclipses for this year and into the next are:
Courage to be you.
Courage to trust your gut feelings and not someone else's.
Courage to come to your own conclusions regarding your needs and not what others say.
During this lunation, either the evening before or the evening after, seek a quiet space to meditate. Find the still point within you and ponder on the relationship that is going wrong. To help, hold a pink agate, a pink opal or a pink tourmaline, these stones are particular to Libra. Hold either one or all in your left hand to help focus your thoughts on how to proceed.
Thank you for visiting.
See ya soon -Estela
