We need happy and healthy connections to survive and I’m not just talking about romantic partnerships. The conversations vary; it could be a friendship breakdown that has caused just as much heartache as a romantic break-up, a dynamic that needs to be addressed between colleagues in the workplace, or a parent-child relationship that has opportunities for improvement.

Beyond the influence of the global pandemic, which I’m sure most of us are ready to stop discussing, the moon’s nodes are transiting through the sky in the zodiac signs of Aries and Libra.

Anytime this nodal axis is activated, which we feel the most during eclipse season, it casts a light on the delicate balance between partnership and independence.

We experienced our first eclipse highlighting our relationships zone on October 14, 2023 and we’re about to navigate our next one on March 25, so brace yourself and get ready for transformation.

Leveraging the power of an eclipse

A full moon illuminates our skies every month, yet a lunar eclipse takes it up a notch, acting as a full moon in overdrive. The energy it radiates is potent and unpredictable, but don’t let it intimidate you. Rather, harness its power as an opportunity to instigate breakthroughs in areas of your life that need to change.

The transformative effects of this lunar eclipse will only serve your long-term growth and success. The first Lunar Eclipse for this year is scheduled to light up the sky on March 25 2024 at 6pm AEDT, taking place in the constellation of Libra.

Known for embodying balance, harmony and partnership, Libra often prioritises the needs of others above its own. Therefore, during this time, any suppressed emotions, concealed fears, or unexpressed desires that have been left unresolved may likely surface. The aim is to establish greater balance and fairness within our most important relationships.

Navigating lunar eclipses

Lunar eclipses, particularly in the sign of Libra, can stir intense emotions and bring relationship dynamics into sharp focus. It’s common to experience feelings of uncertainty, frustration, or even overwhelm as suppressed emotions and unresolved issues surface. Remember, the energy of an eclipse is potent but temporary and its ultimate aim is to bring about necessary change and transformation for the better!

During this time, it’s essential to practise self-care so you can show up as the best version of yourself for others:

Prioritise your physical wellbeing. Ensure you’re getting enough sleep, eating healthy food and incorporating regular exercise into your routine. These simple acts can significantly influence your emotional state during this challenging period.

Prioritise your emotional wellbeing. Make time for introspection and relaxation. This could be taking a long bath, meditating, or spending time in nature. Prioritise activities that bring you peace, during this time.

Remember, the focus of this eclipse is on relationships and achieving a better balance between your needs and those of others. This may involve standing up for yourself or addressing imbalances in your relationships. While this may feel challenging, trust the process and know that these transformations are for your long-term growth and happiness.
