Spirit guides and doctors will diagnose the trouble and its cause, attention being directed to overcoming the cause, and then removing the symptoms. Please set time aside each day to send healing thoughts for each of those listed below, that they may receive from Spirit that which is for their highest and best needs. Your healing prayers are needed and benefit others in ways we may never know. Ebony and family Danielle S. Dolores M Loralei S Theresa F. and family Mary C. Linda and Larry B.

Blood Moon Eclipses tend to arrive in a set of three, and this is the third and final of the trio that started back in March 2025. Blood Moon Eclipses are incredibly potent cosmic events. They shake and rattle the fabric of our being, bringing endings, changes, and sudden shifts. They fast-track our growth and help accelerate any transformation already underway. This final Blood Moon acts as a point of culmination and resolution. Themes that first surfaced around the previous Blood Moon Eclipses in March and September of 2025 may now reach a turning point. We may begin to see the bigger picture of what has been unfolding and why certain endings or changes were necessary. As this Eclipse falls in Virgo, we may be drawn to topics around our health, wellbeing, and our day-to-day routines. We may feel called to make some changes to our routines, let go of perfectionism, and create more space for ease. We may feel called to simplify our lives in both practical and emotional ways. This may include clearing physical clutter, adjusting routines, or letting go of commitments that drain our energy. Rather than striving for perfection, Virgo reminds us to meet ourselves with compassion. True healing happens not when we criticize ourselves, but when we learn to care for ourselves with patience and understanding. https://foreverconscious.com/intuitive-astrology-virgo-blood-moon-lunar-eclipse-march-2026 -------------------------------------- In peace and harmony, Valerie Miller SCOL Secretary Comments are closed.
