3rd March 2026 – Excerpt from The Perennial Wheel
The mutable earth Virgo Total Lunar Eclipse brings a changeable and meandering energy shown by the mutable mode. The earth element brings land and possessions into the equation and Virgo is connected to issues of health. The South Node brings about a weakening energy when unprepared for and a loss of vitality.
The Virgo-Pisces axis within medical astrology is linked to the lymphatic system, immunity and the sympathetic nervous systems.
The ruling planet of Virgo is Mercury, here retrograde and in fall in Pisces, so the planet of communication is off kilter and is weakened. Mercury retrograde sits in a stellium with the Sun along with Mars at critical 0 degree of Pisces. Mars here is clashing energies with Chaotic Uranus in Taurus in a square. Maybe heated communications come out of the blue.
The Sun is in a beautiful water trine to exalted Jupiter in Cancer bringing blessing of an sensitive and emotional nature.
Saturn and Neptune have now moved off of the critical degree, through are still in close conjunct proximity and Saturn is in fall and weakened in Aries. Discipline, structure and boundaries are going to remain difficult to maintain through this transit in Aries and are not being helped by the disillusioning ability of Neptune.
Moon, herbs and ritual
- Eclipses are traditionally used for fasting, praying resting and with mental shielding and psychic self defence
- A feminine and earthy moon thus
moistdry and [semi] fertile - Support and tonify the abdominal and umbilicus; liver, pancreas, spleen, and ascending colon
- Herbs could include milkthistle, yellow dock and skullcap
- A simple full moon/lunar eclipse ritual could be to take some time out, light a candle and incense and place an offering of honeyed milk or mead while mentally or verbally stating gratitude and or willed intent in prayer or meditation, then chill out.
‘The stars incline, they do not compel, a trinity of testimonial’s is needed for certainty. With foresight and preparation, a certainty can be prepared for, helping to either enhance or negate, as needed.’
These transits may affect you personally, if you are predisposed, this can be seen within your natal and other related charts, usually by what is termed a Trinity of Testimonial’s, though otherwise they are general.
If you are likely to be susceptible to this influence, making preparations of meditation and prayer, practicing forms of psychic self defence maybe necessary. The best psychic self defence is considered to be from those of your personal ancestral roots and not of foreign belief systems. Creating and maintaining a strong ancestral veneration practice is seen to strengthen against malicious forces.
The safe use of herbs and other remedies will always depend upon your unique health situation, and you should always take into consideration any possible contraindications; pregnancy and lactation, children’s doses, herb/drug combinations, allergic reactions and up and coming surgery, seek advice from your trusted health professional if not 100% sure.
