The cosmic forces are aligning in a rare and potent configuration this March, bringing a transformative lunar eclipse in Virgo that coincides with both Venus and Mercury retrograde periods. This celestial trifecta creates a powerful catalyst for change that will reverberate throughout your life until September's solar eclipse.
Feeling unusually emotional, reflective, or ready for change? The Virgo lunar eclipse on March 13-14 opens a portal for releasing what no longer serves you while Venus retrograde reviews your relationships, finances, and material comforts. Mercury adds another layer by turning retrograde immediately after the eclipse, bringing communication, technology, and travel under scrutiny. This isn't random cosmic chaos—it's a divine invitation to evaluate what truly matters in your life.
As we navigate this year of the Wood Snake (also a numerological 9 year), completion and letting go are central themes. The eclipse magnifies these energies, offering a perfect opportunity to develop exit strategies for situations, relationships, or patterns that have run their course. Rather than fearing change, embrace it as the universe's way of clearing space for your heart's desires to manifest. Through meditation, ritual, journaling, and compassionate self-reflection, you can tap into the profound magic of this eclipse season to align with your soul's deepest yearnings.
Remember that creation comes from love, expansion, and gratitude—not fear or worry. During this intense period, prioritize rest, review, and recalibration. The two weeks between this lunar eclipse and the Aries solar eclipse on March 29th represent a magical liminal space where inner work creates powerful foundations for new beginnings. How will you harness these transformative energies to create the life you truly desire?

Magical Michelle Orwick (00:19):
Welcome to the Living Magically podcast
.
Living Magically podcast.
I'm your host, magical Michelle, and this week, march 10th, all
the way through the eclipses isgoing to be a doozy.
Now, I know I say that all thetime and I probably will for the
entirety of 2025 and going into26, but I will say this is the
(00:44):
peak of it.
This is possibly one of themost powerful and important
weeks of 2025.
You're going to be feeling theenergy.
So it doesn't matter where youare in this week when you're
listening to it, there is asuper duper lunar eclipse
(01:06):
happening in the planet of Virgoon, depending on which day, the
13th or the 14th, so basicallyovernight, somewhere in that
time frame you're going to have.
This eclipse should be visiblewhere you are.
If you're watching this inNorth America but you might be
(01:34):
sleeping, it's okay, becauseyou're going to feel it.
You feel an eclipse three daysand 30 days before, starting 30
days before, but really in theenergy of the portal of it,
three days before and three daysafter and 30 days after, and
then even out to the 90-day mark.
You're going to truly feel thatand it's a series of eclipses
(01:55):
where this lunar eclipse is inVirgo.
So you're going to see thiskind of have this energy all the
way until the new moon solareclipse that'll be happening in
September.
So there's this period of timeand it's a catalyst.
(02:15):
There is no getting aroundchange.
However, there is choice andthis is where it gets really,
really good.
I know that people are afraidof eclipses, but think of it as
a catalyst for your heart'sdesire to come true.
Now, virgo is a very analytical, very health-minded, very
(02:42):
attention to the details kind ofsign and it's being eclipsed
and so, of course, you're goingto feel it more.
If you are a Virgo, you'regoing to feel it more.
If you're a mutable sign,you're going to feel it more.
If you're an earth sign, you'regoing to feel it more if you're
a Pisces, because the sun isstill going to be in Pisces at
(03:08):
this time.
So it's a little bit all overthe place.
Now, what is the opportunity inthis?
Well, I feel like I have totalk about two other things that
will be going on at the sametime.
We are currently in a Venusretrograde period, and that
means the planet of love andbeauty and all the accolades of
(03:34):
that Venus and all of the thingsthat that represents money,
love, home, those kinds ofthings is in a review period.
It's looking at yourrelationships, looking at your
expressions of joy and happinessthrough love and we all know I
(03:54):
love love.
So you're looking at what isworking and what isn't working
in your relationships yourrelationship with your money,
your relationship with yourmoney, your relationship with
your home, your relationshipwith your body especially the
body with this Virgo eclipse andthen you're going to start your
(04:15):
relationships with yourself,your friends, your family, your
co-workers, your relationshipwith your work, your
relationship with your spouse orpartner, or lack thereof,
whatever that is.
That's what we're going to befocusing on, but then, on the
exact timeframe, like the dayafter this eclipse on the 14th,
(04:36):
venus is going retro I'm sorry,mercury is going retrograde, so
we have Venus already inretrograde and then it's going
to start the Mercury retrograde,which is communication and
travel.
And so it's how do wecommunicate, how do we relate to
people, our telephones, ourcomputers and our transportation
(05:03):
, our cars, our airplanes, ourtrucks, our vehicles and I think
it's going to be reallyinteresting because it's such an
interesting and possibly evenvolatile time in the world right
now, and so I think this isgoing to be a review on how do
you streamline all of this inyour own life?
(05:26):
What is important to you?
What is your priority?
And I think I think we get sowrapped up in.
What do I have to do?
What have I been doing?
What do I need?
What do I need that we don'tlook at what isn't working, and
I think this eclipse is going toreally bring to the forefront
(05:49):
the opportunity to release andlet go what is not working
Because of the multiple reviewperiods.
I think that's really going tobe a key here.
If you want to unlock the doorright now, look at what isn't
working and how you create anexit strategy.
Sometimes that's just lettingit go, driving it to the dump or
(06:13):
taking it to a thrift store.
Sometimes it's a bigger part ofcompletion, and we are in a
completion year, since it is thewood snake.
We're releasing, we're shedding, we're letting go, and it is a
wood snake year.
It's also a nine year, which isabout completion and finishing
(06:34):
things.
So if you can't finish it rightaway, can't let go of it right
away.
Get an exit strategy andplanning and step-by-step,
what's your first action towardthat?
And especially knowing thatthis eclipse is six months from
now on the solar eclipse in thesame sign.
(06:54):
You're going to see that thissix month period and the faster
you do it the better Three daysafter the eclipse, three months
after the eclipse, okay, buthopefully no later than by
September, when you areencouraged to be starting new
with a new cycle of solareclipse.
(07:16):
So that's kind of what we'relooking at.
And so, with both Mercury andVenus in retrograde this weekend
coming up, you're going to seethat you don't want to make, you
want to take a second beforeyou react.
Don't send the text, don't sendthe email, don't say something
(07:42):
without taking a review, andthat could just be to make sure
the punctuation makes it the wayyou really mean it.
Things can be misunderstood, itcould be mistyped, it doesn't
even mean that you did it, youmeant it wrong, but someone
could take it wrong.
So just really, if you'retraveling, if you're sending an
(08:03):
email or a text or a voicemail,really kind of make sure that
you're saying what you need tosay.
And if you are changingrelationships, which people will
be doing is changing thesethings up all the way into late
April, mid-april, really, we'regoing to see this period of time
(08:24):
.
You're wanting to do itcarefully and remember that
compassion and kindness are twoof your superpowers if you want
to navigate this with love.
And that's what we want to do.
We are trying not to beaggressive and we're trying not
to take it too personal, to takeit too personal, and that's
(08:50):
really important because we'rein this big dreaming lots of
Pisces, energy, and that's goingto be about dreaming it into
being.
So good time for meditation,good time for ceremony and
ritual.
I know I'm going to be atPriestess Camp with Rima in
Kansas City and we're going tobe doing rituals and letting go
(09:15):
and release and also rituals forinviting in.
It's a really good time toreview, and that's also true for
the full two weeks from the14th until the 29th, where we
have the solar eclipse, and thatsolar eclipse is going to be
(09:36):
potent.
It's a new moon, solar eclipsein the first degree of Aries,
and that means it's the fullastrological new year and it is
in the first degree, so we'retalking about it being a real
jumping start for a fresh start.
Now they'll still have at thattime both these planets in
(10:00):
retrograde and review.
So it's a good time for reviewfor the full two weeks.
I always call it the liminal inbetween.
So, whatever you're doing on theweekend, it's a perfect time to
be in the mystery, in the magic, in the ritual.
(10:20):
I love ritual in Pisces seasonand so, this coming weekend, no
better time than to create alittle magic, to journal, to
create a self-care day, tocreate a opportunity for
expanding into your greatestpossibility, and that's what
(10:43):
this is going to do.
This is going to give you atime to envision things, review
things, actually sit with yourangels and your guides and your
soul self.
This is a perfect time to be.
Who am I?
Where am I going?
What am I going to do?
What am I going to create?
My word for 2025 is create, andso what are you going to create
(11:08):
?
I want to know, so put it inthe comments, send me a
message's.
I want to know, so put it inthe comments, send me a message.
I want to know what you'recreating.
I know that I've created acompassion circle.
If you're local to Orlando,we're going to be doing that
here at the Urban Ashram.
It's a wonderful location inthe downtown area and it it's
(11:31):
called the Compassion Circle.
So if you feel like you justwant to be held in some energy
of compassion, we'll be doingthat on the 25th.
In this period I'm talking aboutwhere everything's a little
liminal, nothing's really set instone in those two weeks, it's
more about creating and being inlove and compassion and the
(11:55):
mystery.
I'm also working with Patrickon the 29th to do a solar
eclipse new moon activation atthe Center Street location and
I'm pretty excited about thatbecause it's a potent Saturday
night new moon ritual and if youwant to go on the really deep
(12:17):
dive, I'm having a shaman fireand candle making and magic
weekend on the 22nd and 23rdweekend of March.
So lots to do this month in theform of creating.
Of course, this is going to bea letting go period and a
(12:38):
creating period.
Anytime you have eclipses, it'sall the cycles rapidly spinning
and I've been asked do youactually do magic during the
eclipses because it is sochaotic?
And my answer is absolutely yes.
My answer is that this is, forme, one of the best and most
(12:59):
potent times because I can tapin to the true nature of my
soul's desire.
So I invite you to tap in, sitwith yourself Instead of being
outside in the doing, sit inwardwith the being and the
(13:20):
expression of self.
It's the perfect time.
I'm in awe of what is possible,and so I am inviting you to
lean into what is possible, whatis the opening, do the review,
what isn't working, what is, anddo more of what is.
(13:41):
Lean into what is and what isyour soul's desire, because if
you have a soul level desire, itis able to be manifested.
It just might be that you haveto sit with the how, let go of
the way you think it's going toturn out, and sit in the mystery
(14:04):
and the magic and the ritualand the meditation and be in the
allowing, be in the being,visualize it and anchor it into
your system, as already done,and this will allow for it to be
a more solid, more true, morepowerful inner experience for
(14:27):
you.
That then becomes what's myfirst action step, and from
there you start moving forward,moving outward, into, and now we
have this action step and now Ican do this, and you will feel
momentum.
This is a year where change ispretty much guaranteed.
The astrology this year is thatof change, and so my invitation
(14:52):
to you is that change into whatyou desire and what you want,
instead of letting worry, fear,concern or the past or what's
going on outside of you dictateto what's going on inside of you
, because creation comes from aplace of love and from a place
(15:12):
of expansion and a place ofgratitude.
You cannot be in lack if youare in gratitude.
You cannot be in hate and loveat the same time.
So choose your higher emotion,and I'm not saying that you're
not going to have a negativeemotion.
In fact, it's probably going tohappen.
(15:35):
Earlier today, I found somethingout and I was like and use the
F word and I was, you know,pretty like, oh, that is not
great news, and yet in review,everything was fine.
It just means that a lot of usare going to.
The first thought is going tobe to go to the negative, and
(15:59):
the gift here, in thisexpression, is to come back to
your center, to find the lightat the end of the tunnel, to
find this isn't how I want it tobe, and so this is a challenge
how do I create the opportunitythat I desire?
(16:21):
How do I create the frequencyand the vibration of certainty
and connectedness and gratitudeand love that brings in the
opportunity to be a magnet forwhat you truly want and desire?
That's the gift in this.
So I know it's a lot.
(16:43):
I promise you will feel emotionsand the last thing I wanted to
say is anytime we have aneclipse cycle, and especially
with the Schumann resonance, thedepth that we have and all of
these retrogrades, please rest,do not over plan, do not over
(17:03):
schedule, do not over give.
If you can help it, schedule in, rest, recalibration, renewal,
review.
This is a most powerful timefor you to allow your resources
to be refilled, your body to berecalibrated, your mind to be
(17:27):
realigned and for your goals tobe reset.
And for your goals to be reset.
And if you just kind of followthat in your process, I promise
this is going to be a verymagical moment in time with a
great opportunity for you.
(17:48):
So I will see you very soon.
I love you.
Live magically.
