HEAL-th or dis-ease: March 3: Lunar Eclipse in Virgo

The Lunar Eclipse on March 3 falls at 13 Degrees Virgo.

The symbol for this degree is quoted as :

Finely lettered names and mysterious lines are seen;
it is a family tree.


Lunar Eclipses are very powerful markers of time. Ancient Astrologers freaked everyone out with doom and gloom predictions. And true, often a major figure dies, often a female (the Moon is feminine). What is certain is that as the Lunar Light is Eclipsed (blocked out by the shadow of the Earth) we temporarily are emotionally lost and confused.

Suddenly, we're alone. Our deepest fears well up. Will we feel abandoned? Are we afraid of the dark? Do we even know what we need?

How was our relationship to our family, our mother? Are we nurturing ourselves or abusing ourselves by denying our needs? Emotional poverty could arise now - to show us where out self-parenting is off-track. Look at the symbol of this degree - we can't escape a look back to chart a new path now. Is our childhood pattern of emotions blocking our present enjoyment, trust and peace within the present?

But this is also a time when the Lunar Energy helps us let go, release, give up and finally free ourselves of OLD emotional patterns.

If you're tired of reacting like this or that, this is your time. If you have a bad habit you want to let go of - now's your time.

Look around your life this week and notice your EMOTIONAL VIBRATION. Are you generally focusing on what you want, feeling good and honoring how you feel (ie, if you don't want to do it you won't). Or are you falling into the clutches of irrational fears and phobias and over-reacting to what others are doing. After all, we can't control others lives, but we DO have control over how we feel.

Happiness is a choice. This week we get to see situations that help us decide what must go, including old feelings, and what we want to create now.

Embrace the feeling, allow it to flow, but don't hold on.

A parting of the ways is upon us - whether it's from feelings, people, situations, events, places, jobs, cities, mind-sets.

One involves moving back into the past, with an eye to finally freeing ourselves of it

The other involves moving back into the past, and trapping ourselves into re-playing old emotional wounds, games, lack.


The Lunar Eclipse in Virgo asks us:

If we're fulfilled in our Health, Body
If our jobs are up to par - are we actually enjoying what we're doing
To re-design our Schedule to make it work for us, instead of the other way around
To have our emotions serving us, and not the other way around
To clean up our surroundings - mess is a reflection of our inner chaos
To truly take care of ourselves
If we are perfecting and improving ourselves or remaining static
Strip away our emotional cling-ons

On the bigger scale, the Planet gets to question its health care system - as we focus on the dis-ease within our world, the vitamins, the illness, the new health and diet fads as we begin to question if it's all really healthy for us - and that perhaps, our state of EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING HAS THE ULTIMATE EFFECT ON OUR PHYSICAL HEALTH.

So the grime, the dirt, the boils, the sores, the hurts - they're our beacon of where we need to re-align ourselves with the well being that is natural to us, in our natural state - flowing with our emotions and not withholding, manipulating, blocking, refusing or repressing them.

In a week of a major Lunar Eclipse "pit stop",
Empty your emotional tank
and refill it!
