Lunar Eclipse in Virgo - March 2026

The second and final eclipse of this eclipse season is happening on March 3, 2026 at 6:37 AM ET. Things may have felt chaotic the last few weeks but eclipse season is coming to close on March 11th, and things will return to baseline. This lunation brings a sense of getting rid of what is draining you. Letting go of what weakens you, especially mentally.

The Moon will be in Virgo and will sextile Jupiter, bringing a boost of luck and positivity. You might decide to organize your space or clean up your mind. You could notice things you didn't notice before. You may finish up a project or learning endeavor. It also could be time to forget the details and let go of perfection. Although, you may not have a choice with the condition of this eclipse's ruler.

The ruler of this eclipse is Mercury. This version of Mercury is topsy turvy because it is retrograde and in Pisces, where it is uncomfortable. Expect confusion, mental fog, and unclear communication. As always with Mercury in retrograde, there may be issues with technology and travel. Give yourself extra time for delays and anticipate malfunctions. Things could get murky.

However, Mercury may get a boost from the benefics, Venus and Jupiter. Maybe you're able to see the light amongst the shadows of the mind. You're able to follow that light to the end of the tunnel and have some clarity. It could be that you're able to find acceptance of what is, or you're able to see something from a different perspective.

The most important thing you can do during this time is to ground yourself. Go out in nature, meditate, yoga, or have some floor time. Do what it takes to get out of your head and into your body.
