In the
lunar calendar of March 2024
we will have the
last summer new Moon
and, days later, the first astronomical and astrological event that marks the change of season will occur.
Wednesday, March 20 will be the
equinox
;
autumn
for
the southern hemisphere of the planet and spring for the northern hemisphere.
As if that were not enough, it will also be the first eclipse of the year.
March will begin with the Moon in Scorpio and end with the luminary in Sagittarius.
For astrologer
Rocío Sabatini
it will be a period in which there will not be one leading element, but two.
“We will receive a lot of charge from both the Water element and the Air element.
The ideal fusion to
open the heart to creativity
and encounters with others,” she explained to
Clarín
.
The astrologer explained that the presence of the Water element will manifest because the Moon will transit Cancer, Scorpio (twice) and Pisces.
Furthermore, as we go through the last days of the
Sun in Pisces,
its direct influence on collective sensitivity will be felt.
Mercury will also contribute, as it will remain in the sign of the fish until March 10.
The presence of the Air element will also be predominant in the sky because
Venus, Mars and Pluto
begin the month in the sign of Aquarius, the great futurist and rebel of the zodiac.
You may wonder
why astrology gives so much importance to the Moon?
Sabatini explained that in our birth chart the luminary “shows what the dynamic of bonding with our mother is like, how we address feelings and how we handle ourselves when we perceive vulnerability.”

Furthermore, astrology pays a lot of attention to these lunar movements because it maintains that lunations and the signs in which they will occur help to have an expansive look at the energy available in the sky and how it impacts our
emotional side
.
Within this panorama, the Moon will complete its journey on the zodiacal wheel in a period of just over 29 days, almost two and a half days in each sign.
The full moon is "the time of greatest emotional light," Sabatini said.

That said, four important phases
stand out in the monthly lunar cycle
: New Moon, waxing moon, full Moon and waning moon.
🌑
New Moon
: occurs every time the Sun and the Moon coincide in the same degree of a sign.
Also called the new moon, it responds to an initial phase where we have the opportunity to strengthen talents and difficulties of the sign we are going through.
🌗 Crescent
: occurs when the Sun illuminates half of the visible face of the Moon.
It is the second phase of the cycle and is linked to the understanding of our actions and the purpose of some decisions made.
🌕 Full Moon:
occurs every time the Sun completely illuminates the visible side of the Moon from the Earth's perspective.
“It symbolizes the moment of greatest light on our emotional world, it represents illumination, awareness and clarification of situations that were not clearly presented to us before.
It is a key phase to intuit how we see and delve into our less luminous side.
🌓 Waning quarter:
the last phase is classified as the learning stage.
As the energy decreases, we reach a moment of pause to conclude and say goodbye to those situations and people that no longer bring love to our lives.
Lunar calendar March 2024: what will the Moon be like during the month of the autumn equinox
Lunar cycles can have a slight variation from one month to the next, we already know that the Moon completes its movement in 29.5 days.
This can make it difficult to remember exactly the dates of the most important phases.
However, you can keep in mind that
approximately
two weeks pass
between
the
new Moon
and the
full Moon
.
Last Quarter Moon in Scorpio: March 1, 2024
March begins with the Moon in the eighth sign of the zodiac, Scorpio.
The astrologer pointed out that this night “will enable us to transform our energy to
detoxify what weighs us down
and we must let go.”
She also indicated that we can take advantage of it to do meditations, tarot readings or any esoteric activity.

The specialist considered that the date will create a prosperous space to “address deep conversations with others, exchange issues that we can
heal through the words
and hearts of our interlocutors.”
As this is a waning phase, Sabatini advised: “Our movements must be rhythmic, the best way to detox
our
fears
and blockages is often in solitude and silence.”
He also specified that the
signs that will feel the effects of the Moon in the waning quarter the most
will be the fixed ones: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.
The Moon will remain in its waning phase until the new Moon in Pisces on Sunday, March 10.
That week it will pass through Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn and Aquarius.
The astrologer explained that the Scorpio vibe will promote deep contact and a purifying moment of mutation of what does not nourish us.
That energy will change on March 3 and 4, when Sagittarius will bring a positive, confident influence.
Not so on
Tuesday the 5th and Wednesday the 6th
, when the Capricorn vibration will respond to an impulse “without much sensitive review, rather
rational and focused
on objectives.”
New Moon in Pisces: March 10, 2024
“From March 9, the
New Moon in Pisces
will have the leading presence of the Water element,” said Sabatini, who summarized this phase in one key word: regeneration.

“Pisces is the
sign of universal love
and solidarity;
Furthermore, he invites us to connect with our spiritual and soul being, to observe what toolbox we have to dive into our heart,” explained the astrologer.
The
signs that will feel the effects of the new Moon in Pisces the most
will be the mutable ones: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces.
The following days will draw a great preamble before the full Moon in Libra and the first eclipse of 2024. From
March 11 to 13,
the Moon will feel fast and impulsive as it passes through Aries, with all the Martian and brave vibe that takes us to the action.
On March 13 and 14, while Taurus transits, “it will call us to rest and self-esteem through a slow rhythm of pleasure and hedonism.”
Later, on
Friday the 15th and Saturday the 16th
, she will be located in Gemini to remind us of the importance of adaptability and offer us tools to communicate better when exchanging ideas.

From
March 17 to 19, the Moon will pass through Cancer
, the sign it rules, and the energy will be directed towards shelter at home, the sense of refuge and the organization of family gatherings.
On
March 20,
two events will capture our attention: on the one hand, the
equinox
and the change of season, on the other, the
entry of the Sun into Aries
and the beginning of a new astrological year.
Throughout this day we will tell about the fun and “egoic” energy of Leo, since the Moon will travel through the sign until the next day.
“It will be a good time to create together with friends and give value to our own identity,” said the astrologer.
The Moon in Leo will focus on our identity.

From
March 22 to 24,
the Moon will move into Virgo, an Earth energy that will turn our emotional world towards the organization of routine and the creation of methods and systems.
Full Moon in Libra and Lunar Eclipse: March 25, 2024
The
full Moon in Libra and the lunar eclipse
will give us an opportunity to connect with the energetic potential of two Libran themes: synchrony and sense of justice towards others, stated the astrologer.
The date will also give us the push to take action, thanks to the influence of the Sun in Aries.
Sabatini warned that it is likely that our emotional world is “on the surface” and that personal sensation is associated with our social side.
“At the same time, it is a journey that comes loaded with enough energy for us to
review our personal balance
,” he added.
The Full Moon phase represents a
closing of the cycle
on what we have proposed in the last new Moon of the same sign.
In this case, the new moon and the eclipse of October 14, 2023. Now that six months have passed, we will have to ask ourselves: what were we starting at that time in relational matters? What did we feel in that period and how do we associate it with the present?
As long as we narrow down the data left by the first eclipse of 2024, the Moon will move to Scorpio.
From
March 27 to 29,
the energy of this sign will sharpen personal review and the desire for transformation.
For the specialist, “it will be an ideal cycle for energetic cleansing and new beginnings.”
Before March ends we will be processing the information left by the lunar eclipse in Libra.

The
last two days of March
we will say goodbye to the month while the Moon transits Sagittarius;
a great opportunity to catch the enthusiastic, adventurous and confident energy of the centaur of the zodiac.
