This week’s Total Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse is a major cosmic event that accelerates transformation and ushers in life-changing shifts. During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the Moon, turning it a deep red or orange—hence the name "Blood Moon." Historically feared for the sudden changes they bring, Blood Moon Eclipses ultimately push us toward necessary growth and evolution.
This eclipse occurs in Virgo. Virgo governs our routines, mental health, and organization, meaning we may feel an intense focus on these areas. With all this Virgo energy, we might battle perfectionism, overthinking, or self-criticism. But this is also a time to trust ourselves, release limiting beliefs, and recognize our inner strength.
The cosmic influences don’t stop there—Pisces energy is also strong due to a Pisces stellium with the Sun, Saturn, North Node, and Neptune all closely aligned. This heightens our intuition, emotions, and sensitivity. It also thins the veil between worlds, making it easier to receive insights from our spirit guides and ancestors. Expect major revelations or "aha" moments, even if they feel intense or uncomfortable.
Adding to the mix, both Venus and Mercury will be retrograde during and after the eclipse, slowing us down and urging reflection. With Venus retrograde, relationships are under review—some may end, while others will shift dynamics. Meanwhile, Mercury retrogrades in Aries, challenging how we think and communicate. This is an opportunity to reframe our mindset, let go of overthinking, and embrace a more present, positive perspective.
With so much happening, it’s crucial to stay grounded. Take breaks, get outside, and care for your mental health. Blood Moon Eclipses have a way of placing us exactly where we need to be, even if it doesn’t feel like it at first. Trust the process, look for the gifts, and remember—you’re evolving into something even more powerful. Let the transformation happen.
