This month, particularly this week (March 10 - 17), may stir up big changes within our relationships that can trigger old wounds, but the upcoming lunar eclipse in Leo gives us the courage to face this discomfort head-on, with or without fear. This week kicks off eclipse season with a full moon lunar eclipse in Leo on March 14 (EST) on the same day the Sun transits into Pisces. Eclipses are like portals; their energy and lessons tend to be felt over 6-month periods, and whatever transits occur around eclipses come along for the ride.² Eclipses can be destabilizing, which can make us act out or shut down, and with both Venus and Mercury retrograde in Pisces in the mix, we have quite a volatile cocktail.
