Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Libra 2024

Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Libra 2024

.

The Full Moon in Libra on Mon 25 March is a Lunar Eclipse, intensifying the energies of this Full Moon.

The Full Moon will only darken slightly during this eclipse as it moves into the half-shadow of the Earth, because this is a penumbral eclipse (penumbra means half-shadow).

The eclipsed Full Moon in Libra gives us an opportunity to bring our lives into balance, revisiting the cosmic invitation extended by the Equinox a few days earlier.  It highlights our need to relate to others, yet it also emphasizes the need to find a balance between our own needs and the needs of another, between the need for independence and the need for compromise.

The Full Moon falls at 5 degrees Libra.  Check the houses of your chart to see which part of your life is under the spotlight.

The Full Moon is exact at 5.00pm Queensland time AEST on Mon 25 March.

This Full Moon is the last Full Moon before Easter, known as the Lenten Moon, because it falls during the Christian fasting period known as Lent.

Easter Sunday this year falls on Sun 31 March.  ‘What’s this got to do with Astrology?’ I hear you ask … Well, guess what?  The date of Easter is determined astrologically, by the Moon and the Equinox.  Easter Sunday is set as the first Sunday after the first Full Moon following the Equinox.  This is why the date of Easter changes each year, sometimes falling at the end of March and sometimes much later in April.  Astrology is present in our everyday lives much more than most people realize!
