The next Full Moon will be a total lunar eclipse, happening at 18 degrees 40 minutes of Leo on March 3rd at 11:38 am (UTC). Nakshatra is Purva Phalguni, and Navamsha is Virgo.
Lunar eclipses potentially affect the mind and can disrupt our peace of mind. This lunar eclipse in Leo will particularly affect those with strong egos. Furthermore, Mars is currently strong, increasing our drive for action, but it can also lead to irritability, anger, or even conflict if accompanied by violence. Our current collective mindset is centred around anxiety coming from not knowing what will happen. When the lunar eclipse occurs, we may become caught up in this collective mindset, which can exacerbate anxiety or inflame anger. This is where living in the present becomes more important than ever.
For people who regularly practice calming their minds, this could provide important insights into themselves. Grounding ourselves, chanting a mantra (if you know one), doing gentle asanas, or reading the scriptures can help us feel more at ease. This is also a good day for meditation. Let us find a place that is as relaxing as possible, and listen to what this eclipse is asking of us to understand, so we know which areas we need to change. Om Shanti.
