Today marks the end of Eclipse Season with this morning’s Lunar Eclipse in Virgo. If you didn’t sleep well, don’t worry, it wasn’t just you. You’re in sync with the moon.

Full Moons already heighten emotion and awareness. A Lunar Eclipse is a supercharged Full Moon that amplifies our energy and puts our intuition on high alert.

Allow yourself to be open to revelations, downloads, and new ideas as you reckon with what you need to shed in your life. Virgo brings precision to that process. This isn’t chaos for chaos’ sake.

This Week in the Stars

From expert astrologer, Michelle Grodnick

Today, we woke up to a Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo during Mercury Retrograde. Is your mind also reeling? You may be thinking about all the tasks you’ve been putting off, people that you suddenly can’t stand, and new ways you want to be of service to yourself and others

This Virgo eclipse sits with the South Node, which is all about shedding. What are you ready to let go of? With the Sun (+ Mercury, Venus, North Node, and Mars, oh my!) in Pisces, this shedding is in service to your mental and emotional well-being.

For the last year, we’ve been on a journey of letting go of perfectionism, self-criticism, and judgment so we can lean more fully into empathy, creativity, and intuition. This time has revealed to us the connection between our physical and emotional wellbeing.

You’ve probably seen the term “nervous system regulation” everywhere. This idea becoming mainstream is directly tied to the current Virgo-Pisces eclipse cycle. As opposite signs, Virgo and Pisces represent two sides of the coin – in this case, we’re talking about the connection between physical health (Virgo) and emotional health (Pisces). The nervous system is what brings it all together: when our emotional health is suffering, we literally feel it in our bodies!

This astrological time might feel like a lot. You have all these ideas about things you want to change, but nothing seems to be going right. That’s okay. This time is not about taking action. It’s about internally exploring these new ideas that are coming to the surface. Sit with them and see how they make your nervous system feel. In the coming months, it’ll be time for action (more on that in a future issue).

This Saturday also marks the halfway point of this Mercury Retrograde. We’re almost there…

For now…let’s REflect (we are still in a REtrograde): Over the last couple of weeks, how has your body felt? What new ideas have come to mind? What are you anxious about? What are the mindsets, relationships, and things that you want to let go of? How will that be in service to your nervous system?
