Eclipses are deep medicine. Like all astrological events they hold purpose in their rhythm, their timing, the way they illuminate themes within us that, if we were to really tune in, we know we are ready to observe, hold, heal. The way they bring to light layers that, as if in perfect timing, are the very doorway into what is arising next within us.
It’s a full Moon Lunar Eclipse: An illuminating. A closing.
It’s a full Moon Lunar Eclipse conjunct the South Node: A deep unravelling. A release written long ago.
It’s a full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo: A sacred refinement. A return to truth.
And it’s our final closure before the Astrological New Year: A divine preparation. A clearing of the path.

Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo Astrology
Since January 2025, the South Node has been travelling through Virgo offering presence and love, remembering and sacred truth to the parts of us that have forgotten our divinity. The parts of us that have forgotten our inherent belonging in this world. The parts of us that have learned to grasp, control, and over-manage to feel safe in our bodies.
The layers of us that have believed they needed to earn the right to exist have been held in a healing chamber – the layers that for too long, have felt not-enough. The layers of us that have believed themselves disconnected from the intelligent unfolding of this life – the rhythm, the pace, the cycles – forgetting this unfolding moves through us too, this rhythm dances within us, the pace and cycles speak through our bodies.
The South Node has been speaking directly to the survival patterns within that have labelled surrender, trust, letting go, allowing, and flow as unsafe.
But we have been remembering. We have been slowly yet surely, remembering safety within surrender. We have been softly yet deeply, remembering our inherent enoughness. We have been profoundly and lovingly, offering medicine to the hurts within that have been crying out for years.
We have been learning how to trust, how to let go. We have been releasing our grip on control, a mechanism rooted in perceived separation. We have been looking at that separation and questioning its presence – for if we truly listen – the divine has always, is always, and will always be guiding us in both whispers and undeniable signs, subtle moments of direction and obvious, laughable, synchronicities.
March 2026 Eclipse Affects
Within this deep cosmic chamber of belonging and transformation, a body of planets swim though the mystical waters of Pisces. The Sun. The North Node. Mercury Retrograde. Venus. Mars.
They all sit opposite the Moon & South Node in Virgo – not to speak louder, not to contradict, not to dismiss. But to balance, to weave together the mystical and the mundane, to remind us that we are here to channel beauty into form, spirit into body, oneness into selfhood.
We are reorienting our relationship with active flow, momentum that isn’t separate to surrender but found within alignment. Movement that doesn’t require force but asks for trust – to walk even before the path is clear. Surrender that isn’t the dissolution of self but the refinement, the deepening, the strengthening of self.
Under this Eclipse, we are breathing in the final season of the Astrological Year. The final Eclipse of this Nodal Cycle. A deep release of a world that is falling away – of selves that no longer fit.
Virgo is refinement. It removes what interferes with integrity. It understands and embodies the truth that we are evolution itself – a lifetime of becoming, blooming, unfolding.
As you continue to become the truth of you, the spark of you, the magic and beauty of you – what are you releasing? As we stand within the threshold of March 2026 – a new world beginning beneath our feet and an old one asking to be cleared – what is being asked of you?
A devotee of the Earth, Virgo reminds us that everything is supported when it touches the Earth. Confusions. Control patterns. Fears. Hopes. Uncertainty. Forgotten truths. Pressures. Under this lunation – medicine is found in rooting downward.
