Lunar Transits for 18-20 March 2019

The Moon travels into practical Virgo and the 12th House of restriction, unseen forces, and fear at 6:42 PM PDT on 18 March 2019 remaining there until Void of Course begins at 8:21 AM PDT on the 20th where she awaits her transition into Libra. Time to take a break and get caught up on tasks you may have put off. March 20th is also the Full Super Moon, Spring Equinox, and Ostara. If not celebrating in some way, take a walk in nature and appreciate Goddess blessings. The chart is below:

Chart Information

• Mode ~ Flexibility is key as Mutable energies dominate. With Cardinal or initiating energies in a weakened state although we may be less likely to initiate projects we’re more than prepared to follow through with the process.
• Element ~ Practical matters come into focus with Earth energies in play. Mirroring the Mode, Fire is in a weakened state reinforcing our hesitance to initiate projects on our own.
• Ray ~ Active: 2nd Ray of Love/Wisdom and 6th Ray of Devotion/Idealism foster compassion and loyalty. Associated Rays: Moon – 4th Ray of Harmony through Conflict; Virgo – 2nd Ray of Love/Wisdom and 6th Ray of Devotion/Idealism
• Sign ~ Virgo and Pisces dominate.
• House ~ the Houses are in balance.
• Retrograde ~ Mercury (communication difficulties, feeling misunderstood), Pallas (intellect and emotions may be at odds affecting decisions),
• Lunar Phase ~ Gibbous, waxing; Full Moon in Libra at 6:43 PM PDT 20 March 2019

Aspects

A strong trine with Uranus as well as a weaker one with Jupiter provides us with the energy for adventure, but with the 12th House in play, we may want to be sure we’re ready for that. If not, then focus that energy closer to home taking care of tasks in preparation for the coming Spring. Chiron continues its influence challenging to explore past hurts and woundings which may also be contributing to our need for privacy during this time.

Magickal Workings

With the Full Super Moon in Libra approaching on the 20th, the witch can make use of expansive energies over the next few days. The Full Moon influences for several days before and after so there’s plenty of opportunities to work all sorts of magicks. And if that’s not enough, Ostara and the Spring Equinox also occur on the 20th. Magicks worked on Monday involve feminine mystery, cycles, change, and balance. Tuesday magicks involve Mars energies and involve passion, justice, and strength. Mercury is in currently in retrograde so Wednesday magicks can take a communication focus.

Also the Spring Equinox, magicks involving balance can be worked at the exact time of the Equinox at 2:58 PM PDT followed by Full Moon rituals such as drawing down the Moon in the evening hours. If celebrating Ostara, this is a time of awakening and fertility, so rituals for such can be enjoyed. Another yearly tradition is the burying of an egg in an area of significance such as the entrance to a garden space, for example. Regardless of how the witch observes the upcoming Full Moon and holiday, it’s sure to be an exciting and energetic time!

Depending upon one’s beliefs, the next few days promise to be filled with all sorts of activities. However, if the need to stay close to home arises, a quiet celebration may be in order. Draw down the Full Moon’s rays to bless and heal your Spirit and look forward to the coming Spring and the rebirth of life around you.

Until next time…

Lunar Blessings!
