In the first moments of March 25, 2024, the first eclipse of the year will occur, it will be a
penumbral lunar eclipse
that will occur at 5°13' in the sign of Libra, within the framework of the full Moon in the sign of Libra.
Why are rituals discouraged these days?
What
spiritual practices
to perform to accompany this astronomical event?
“The Earth will be in the middle of the two stars in almost perfect alignment and this makes it a penumbral eclipse, that is, a cone of shadow will be generated that will hide part of the Moon,” describes astrologer and journalist
Clara Gualano
(on Instagram, you can find her as @astroyrituales).
March Full Moon, Full Earthworm Moon
The native peoples of North America baptized each full Moon of the year with different names, according to certain characteristics related to the reality that surrounded them, in terms of fauna, flora and nature in general and their changes throughout the year. anus.
In this context, they called the full Moon in March
the Worm Moon
, which refers to the traces of worms that appear in the recently thawed soil, in the last vestiges of winter.

The author and communicator of ancestral wisdom
Flavia Carrión
(@flavia_carrion_escribe) tells
Clarín
that “although this phenomenon only occurs in the Northern Hemisphere, I think it is an interesting symbol to take into account for all of us: accepting that it is time to be visible to our community, sharing the talents that have been given to us.”
"In fact, this full Moon falls in the constellation of
Libra, the sign of balance
, so I feel that it will inaugurate a stage where we will be better willing to leave behind the jobs that generate inner disharmony, to dedicate ourselves to our true vocation, the one that gives us peace.”
And he describes: “
The eclipse always helps to expose what is hidden
, so it is a great opportunity to see the truth of our soul in this field.”
Rituals during the lunar eclipse: what to do and what not to do
Although it is the first eclipse of the year, it is the second eclipse that occurs with the nodal axis in
Aries-Libra
(the previous one was on October 14 of last year) and, Clara explains, “we began to work on themes of personal desire and how we negotiate that desire with the environment.”
"It must be clarified that full Moons - in and of themselves -
increase the volume of the emotional climate
, and the eclipse multiplies it, bringing us new scenes, sensations, perhaps some event, and triggering the arrival of new information through various communication channels. synchronicity around us.
We may also feel more physically tired, which is why good hydration and rest are recommended.”
During eclipses it is not recommended to perform rituals.

So,
is it recommended to do some kind of rituals for the lunar eclipse?
Clara says that at this time it is not recommended to ritualize with an intention.
This is how astrologer Estefanía Martínez explained it in a note with
Clarín
: "When there is an eclipse, it is recommended not to do rituals, since the energy is denser and it is usually more of a process of introspection where meditation is favored."
In her opinion, instead of pouring energy “outwards,” the most convenient thing to do would be to “
do internal work
” and “connect with ourselves.”
Along the same lines, Clara Gualano invites us to “connect with
meditations
(mantras, a candle, a space of inner silence) that help us clarify the sensations that are arriving and that have to do with something that we must integrate.
Its effects begin to be felt more strongly two or three days before.”
Eclipse and full moon in Libra: how it will impact and why it screams authenticity
The astrologer and journalist explains to
Clarín
that, within the framework of these events, “the axis of desire will come to mobilize us particularly, confronting us with two pulses: that of personal identity that will try to make
a leap towards a new beginning
, that will want to take everything ahead, who wants to achieve something and has no brakes;
and the
lunar-Librian pulse
that shows us the other side of the coin, that others have desires, and that we cannot do what comes to mind without thinking about the other.”
“The themes of couples and partnerships are going to be super busy.” Photo: Shutterstock illustration
In addition, he adds that “the themes of couples and partnerships are going to be super busy.
Also the issues of negotiations, trials, and everything that has us trapped in some negotiation web.”
Gualano warns that “if there is a very big
imbalance
with my partner (she can also be a partner or business partner) and I keep quiet about it, it will surely
explode
in those days.
If I want something from the other but I am not listened to, the topic will surely be opened 'for debate' in those days.
If there is a very fundamental disagreement, perhaps the contract that was already broken will finally be broken so that
the unstoppable, original and urgent desires
of the 'Aries side of life' can finally be fulfilled.
The point is that some of the identity has to become more authentic, and some of the desire more genuine.”
The eclipse and the shadow
Clara warns that “the balance between the Sun and the Moon of the eclipse will raise a lot of
shadow around us
to listen: if we are very impulsive, they will ask us for more diplomacy;
If we are in a very passive attitude, we will have to activate ourselves.
Imbalances can be balanced and not only in the bond with others, but all the imbalances that we feel on a personal level.”
Finally, the astrologer suggests observing
to what degree the 5th degree of Aries-Libra falls on us
, and according to the astrological house, we can deduce the area of our lives that will be affected.
