Lunar Eclipse

With Aries season in full swing, on March 25th only a few days after the Spring Equinox, we shift our attention to one of the year's most anticipated and exhilarating cosmic events – the lunar eclipse. Eclipses come around about every six months and often catalyze change in our personal lives, and within the collective consciousness.

This year, the phenomenon places specific attention on relationships and partnerships, and we can expect a strong emphasis on healing our hearts from the past. 

A full moon is the last stage of a month-long lunar cycle, and in astrology always represents a sense of ending or closure. This eclipse will require you to pay more attention to internal processes than external events, while also highlighting all the ways you’ve been holding yourself back. Cutting ties with behaviors and people that no longer serve you can be challenging, yet it is essential and advisable in order to give attention to your core desires.

This first eclipse of the year will have the greatest significance for those with astrological signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. The conjunction of Venus with Saturn in Pisces causes tense emotions, while the conjunction of Jupiter with Uranus in Taurus brings harmony to the physical world.  

To prepare for this lunation, take time to explore your inner world by setting intentions, practice self-care and analyze your habits, relationships and connections. The effect of the eclipse extends for several days before and after, so here are some ways to visualize positive change: 

In your romantic relationships, visualize strength and responsibility. Unconditional internal acceptance will be accompanied by positive external circumstances. For those seeking a love interest, your dream of great and pure love can become reality. 

Visualize financial growth and opportunity. Abundance will come through intellectual excellence, innovative solutions, and unpredictable resources that flow naturally and liberally. 

Get inspired to create healthy boundaries to protect your peace. Once you do, you’ll start to meet the kind of people who make you feel good about yourself, empower you and support you. 

These visualizations can help you prepare, but don\’t make any decisions just yet. The traditional recommendation is to refrain from making big decisions or fundamental actions too quickly. Take things slow and listen to the subtle whispers the stars are sending your way.

Irina’s Story:

Astrology came into my life when I was a teenager. One day Mom bought a book with a description of the Zodiac. I read this book to the holes. It was very interesting and I wanted even more. I dreamed about astrology, and I didn't even think about how difficult it is to realize my dream. In the 90s, astrology came out of the shadows in Russia (it was previously banned), the first educational astrological centers began to appear in Moscow and St. Petersburg. But I lived in a small provincial town in the middle of nowhere. The Internet was not used then either. I was very surprised when a month after I dreamed, an astrology teacher appeared next to me, who was studying astrology in Moscow at the same time. It was a miracle! So a good astrological education appeared in my life, which in the future allowed me to make astrology an additional profession. But I studied astrology for a long time. I came to study at the Moscow Academy of Astrology in 2006. And I made sure that I know astrology well. So my experience in astrology has been more than twenty years. My clients are scattered all over the world. In addition to consultations, I do research projects. I report on the results of my research at astrological conferences. Now I combine astrology and psychology in consultations. I think astropsychology has a great future.
