Understanding the Eclipse
A powerful emotional culmination and release
On March 3, 2026, the Moon passes through Earth's shadow, creating a total lunar eclipse. During totality, the Moon takes on a deep red or copper color, often called a "Blood Moon".
This is not just a visual spectacle. Lunar eclipses are emotional full moons supercharged with the energy of culmination, revelation, and necessary release. What has been building beneath the surface now emerges into full view.
This is a cosmic reset of emotional truth and authentic feeling.
