The Full Moon Lunar South Node Prenumbral Eclipse in Libra is exact on Sunday March 24th at 9pm HST / Monday, March 25th at 12:00am PDT.
This Full Moon is called Gaia's Moon referring to all of Nature coming to life after winter. It is also referred to as the Pink Moon by some Native American Tribes after the pink wildflowers which bloom in early spring, represents new beginnings. This is a time of celebrating all that has been released from last season and all that is starting to come into bloom.
Ruled by Venus, the Libra Full Moon amplifies our desire to create Beauty and enjoy heartfelt connections. It is a powerful gateway for creating healing and transformation in how we relate and connect to our selves, each other and life, and how we can choose to create balance, justice and harmony in our inner and outer worlds.
The Full Moon will rise in the same alignment to where the Sun rose at Equinox. This initiates (Sun in Aries) the Venusian Libra Rose Moon to act as a reflector and transmitter to illuminate yet again the Equinox mysteries.
Thus, this Full Moon amplifies the energy of the Sacred Marriage, and the Cosmic Egg activated by the Serpent of Fire (with Libra ruled by Venus, reflected in the Moon and Aries ruled by Mars, reflected in the Sun) for the integrated relationship of the masculine and feminine, seen and unseen, above and below, within and without.
We honour these energetics of Divine Union / Life / Death / Rebirth and Resurrection as portrayed through the lives of Inanna & Damuzi, Isis & Osiris, and Mary Magdalene & Yeshua.
The Sacred Mysteries of the Grail are alive!

ECLIPSE RITUAL SUGGESTIONS
Cleanse: Whether you are moving from Winter to Spring in the Northern Hemisphere or from Summer to Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, the Equinox can be the best time of year for a cleanse to support healthy transitions. When we cleanse the body, we also cleanse out the mind and release baggage and beliefs that are of dis-ease. If you choose to cleanse this season, be wise about what one choose. Do your homework. Investigate & get support. Grab a beloved or join a group cleanse.
Make Space: Time to go through your cupboards, closet, garage etc... and let go of the excess. Spaciousness feels so good and you open yourself up to more internal power and creative life-force.
Be Still: With so much frequency shift happening now, simply closing your eyes to pay attention to your breath to pause for 5 minutes will do wonders for your nervous system (especially if you can do this 3 times a day, and longer than 5 if possible. Do what you can). Make sure to get a long and full sleep.
Tea Medicine: Drinking Tulsi & Gotu Kola herbal tea will soothe your nerves and calm your spirit. This also allows you to open up to magical and bountiful blessings being offered.
Journal Power: Write in your journal all that you are releasing from last season and all the lessons and insight that you can bring with you into the next season. Write out all that you are greatful for and what qualities you would like to embody for the next quarter of the year. Place this out into the moonlight/speak it/sing it after just after the eclipse happens.
Burn It Baby: From the journaling above, you can write a list of all that you wish to release. Free it up. Give it voice. Say it out loud. Let it out! Let it go and burn it during the eclipse!
Wear a Head Covering: During these eclipsing time, so much energy is swirling. Wear a hat, tuque, wrap or creative head covering to avoid leaking out all your precious subtle energy and keep it inside.
Sacred Meditation: Visualize an emerald and rose gold glow around your body and opening rose petals at your womb space, heart and mind. Extend this glow to encompass all of you. Receive this rejuvenation and then extend it out to your loved ones and the world for Blessings, Beauty and Healing.
Make Love: To life, to your garden, to yourself, to your creative artistry, to your Beloved, including but not limited to sex, infused with sensitivity, open-heartedness, and fiery passion.
Remember: DO NOT put out your gemstones and jewels during an eclipse to charge. Save this and for the next full moon.
Full Moon Blessings, Achintya Devi
GODDESS RISING MANDALA MOON MAP
What an incredible opportunity & ritual practice it is to chart our moon cycles.
When we begin moon mapping, whether we are in our menstruating years or beyond, we begin a deep journey into ourselves. It is a remembering and re-awakening of the ancient lunar rhythms expressed outside of us and living within us... our connection with a universal pattern of ancient origin.
After 3 months of moon mapping you will begin to see patterns that perhaps you were never aware of, informing you of how you flow in your personal monthly cycle. You can use this information to design your life that supports your ever-changing phases for dynamic balance. .
