Virgo Lunar Eclipse is the big headline for the week

Good Morning!

While the planets are still moving forward, the combination of Mercury Retrograde beginning last Thursday and the Lunar Eclipse on Tuesday may make this week feel slower at the same time.

If things feel scattered, returning to your body may help bring you back to the present moment. I’ll share more ways to work with this energy as we move through the week together.

Leo Full moon to help bring the joy at the tail end of the weekend and beginning of the work week. Last Full Moon before eclipse season.

The Moon moves into Virgo at 6:33 am CT Monday morning, bringing us closer to Tuesday’s Lunar Eclipse Full Moon.

A Virgo Moon can have us wanting to work through our to-do lists and make sure everything feels right and functions well. During Pisces Season, this creates a Practical Dreamer kind of energy — except that during eclipse season it may feel like the Universe is helping steer the ship.

Jupiter is in supportive conversation with this Lunar Eclipse, which means emotions may feel larger than usual. If that puts you out of sorts, come back to your body. Get centered. Drink your water. Let the eclipse do what it is meant to do.

Observe and record what you notice as things unfold.

We will have another Solar and Lunar Eclipse cycle involving Aquarius and Virgo next year. What is beginning to resolve now may not be the final act. Some conclusions may reveal themselves over time.

In addition to the Moon preparing for the Lunar Eclipse, Mars moves into Pisces today, where he will stay until April 10 — carrying us through the rest of Pisces Season and into early Aries Season.

Mars represents our determination, drive, passions, and anger. In Pisces, his energy can become that of the peaceful warrior.

Mars prefers to act first and think later. In a water sign, that impulse slows down. While Pisces is not Mars’ favorite place to operate, his energy can still be effective in a quieter way.

This placement may raise an interesting question:

Will we shrink back and wait for the drama to pass, or will we stand up for those who have a hard time standing up for themselves?

Time will tell.

Day to release all the things you need to after that powerful Full Moon.

The Virgo Lunar Eclipse Full Moon happens at 5:37 am CT at 12° Virgo.

This eclipse brings together the Pisces dream and Virgo reality, helping us see where our daily lives and our bigger vision are trying to work together.

Mercury Retrograde and Venus are close to the Pisces Sun across from the Virgo Moon, so you may notice your heart and mind talking to each other — especially around relationships, values, and what feels right for you now.

Jupiter is supporting this eclipse, which can make emotions feel bigger than usual. If things feel intense, come back to your body and notice what is unfolding rather than trying to change it.

This eclipse happens early in the morning, so you may notice things showing up through your dreams or how you feel when you wake up.

Today may be a good day to move a little slower and see what you notice.

This eclipse may feel especially strong if you have planets between 9°–17° of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, or Sagittarius.

Mantra:I notice what is changing and allow it to unfold.

*The Lunar Eclipse Full Moon guide will be shared in the Between the Moons Membership and Substack when the moon moves into Virgo on Monday.

✨ March 4 and 5, 2026

Time to wake things up as Uranus moves forward under a Virgo moon

After the intensity of the Lunar Eclipse, we move into a slower rhythm.

Wednesday morning continues the Virgo Moon energy before she slips into a Void of Course period from 8:52 am CT – 12:55 pm CT. During that time, reflection, rest, and doing things that help you feel renewed are wonderful ways to use this space.

When the Moon moves into Libra at 12:55 pm CT, thoughts of bringing harmony and peace to your surroundings may come naturally. It may feel easier to appreciate and connect with the people you hold dear.

Later Wednesday, the Moon will oppose Saturn and Neptune, which may bring moments where you feel the need to reaffirm your boundaries rather than compromise your way through things. Shortly after, a supportive connection to Pluto can help with whatever is ready to shift or transform. Some of this may connect back to what surfaced during the Lunar Eclipse.

On Thursday, a beautiful trine between the Sun and Jupiter may bring a boost to intuition and a sense of quiet confidence. With the Pisces Sun connecting to Jupiter’s expansive and protective energy, you may feel more supported in allowing your dreams to move toward reality — especially if it enhances your sense of home or belonging.

A longer Void of Course Moon begins Thursday at 5:22 pm CT and lasts 28 hours and 39 minutes, carrying us through most of Friday.

If you have a lot planned for Friday, making a simple to-do list may help you stay grounded and focused. The Moon’s final aspect before this Void is to Jupiter, so you may notice especially meaningful dreams or intuitive insights during this time.

✨ March 6, 2026

Under a Libra Moon Mars will get his moment with the Sun too.

Friday may feel a little spacey, floaty, and unstructured. Why? Most of the day will fall under the Void of Course Moon that began Thursday at 5:22 pm CT and continues until 10:01 pm CT tonight.

Since this is a longer Void of Course period, here are a few gentle ways to work with it:

✅ Great for:

– Meditating

– Finishing existing projects

– Taking walks

– Resting or napping

– Creating a to-do list (especially before the Void if you have a lot to do)

🚫 Maybe skip:

– Starting something brand new

– Making major decisions

– Being hard on yourself 🤪

While we wait for the Moon to change signs, Venus moves into Aries at 4:45 am CT, where she will stay through March 30.

Venus represents how we love, what we value, how we relate to others, and our connection to finances. In Pisces, Venus was like a spa day. In Aries, she is ready to move and explore.

There may be a stronger desire to take the lead rather than wait for someone else to make the first move. This energy can feel impulsive, passionate, and direct.

Similar to Mars, Venus does not always operate at her best in Aries. Aries focuses on "me," while Venus naturally seeks "we." The invitation is to stay connected to others while also honoring your own desires.

While Venus is in Aries, you might reflect on:

• Where am I ready to take the lead in my relationships?

• What do I truly want — not what I think I should want?

• Where might I need more courage in love or creativity?

• How can I honor my own needs while still considering others?

• What feels exciting and alive for me right now?

✨ Closing Reflection

This week brings us through the energy of a Virgo Lunar Eclipse alongside Mercury Retrograde — a time when things may shift quietly and understanding may come in pieces rather than all at once.

You may notice moments where your dreams and your daily life are asking to work together in new ways. Not everything needs to be figured out right now. Some things are still unfolding and will continue to make more sense with time.

If this week felt full in any way, come back to simple things — your breath, your body, and the rhythms of your day.

Notice what stood out to you. What you observed now may become clearer as we move forward.

Until next week 🌙
