LUNAR ECLIPSE 25 MARCH 2024 ~ MELTED HEARTS
Lunar eclipse report, Aries Season Goddess Ostara, Eclipse meaning and what it means for all signs.
The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on 25th March 2024 is at 5º Libra Decan 1. Type: Worm Moon. Aspect: Trine Pluto. Fixed Star: Zaniah in Virgo the Virgin. Tarot Card: 2 of Swords. Healing Crystal: Rose Quartz
The fixed star interpretations are not kind to this decan, but the Moon rules it using the Chaldean system so that the powerful Moon may cancel the wicked stars out! Writing about controversial topics brings trouble. Those touched by this full moon solar eclipse will feel their ideas are way ahead of their time or just too mystical for the average human to grasp. This decan is also extremely right-brained, and since the Moon shines the light of illumination here, the intuitive sense is very sharp. In my research, I found many mystics born with the Moon in this decan.
This new Moon favours diplomats and peacemakers rather than war-mongers. The Moon here also strongly connects with the night sky and the ability to prophecy. Those plugged into this Libra moon will carry an aura of peace and tranquillity, even if their outer appearance is spiky or dishevelled. They are also able to neutralise a fiery environment just by being present.
Moon Libra 1 carries a very potent balancing energy. If the situation contains too much surrender, it could shift the scales towards a more defensive stance. Surprisingly, There is the potential to flip over to being more of a shadow goddess. The shady manifestation is rare; Moon Libra 1 is generally soothing and harmonious. At this time, the collective’s only fault is being too naive and ignorant of malice. Those touched by this Libra new moon must remember that not everyone is as fair-minded as they are!
Lunar Eclipse Fixed Star
ZANIAH 4º ~ “WORRY, LOSS THROUGH LEGAL AND VENUSIAN AFFAIRS, TROUBLE THROUGH WRITINGS, LED ASTRAY BY SYMPATHIES.” [1]
Zaniah 4º is found in the left arm of the Virgin: “It gives refinement, honour, congeniality, order and a lovable nature.” Generally, it seems to give a talent for negotiating peace and diplomacy. You can undoubtedly see strong tropical Libra attributes here and the Mercury/Venus nature attributed to it by Ptolemy. Eric Morse notes,” The name must bring a smile to astrologers who often associate Mercury with money and Venus with love. Ptolemy having put the money first for Zaniyah means “Adulteress” or “Harlot”. We have seen how Virgo has had such a reputation in past times, having been Lilith and Ashtoreth as much as more honoured ladies like Mary.” I think the influence has bled into tropical Libra now; one thinks of the refined and cultured Geisha girl or the 18th-century courtesan as very Libra decan 1. In fact, in my research, I found there were quite a few sex workers with this star.
Lunar Eclipse Tarot Card
The Tarot card associated with this decan is the two swords, which “often indicates arguments between people who are being rigid and unyielding. Both sides are locked into the battle. There is little room for forgiveness and no sign of a thaw. This argument could go on for years and taint generations to come unless someone is brave enough to sort it out. People need to lay down their weapons and open their hearts to forgiveness.” ~ teachmetarot. Karmically, this card shows the polarity of Aries to Libra, where Libra is the ‘other’. Balancing the scales indicates finding a compromise in this lifetime to extremism in the past…
WORM MOON MEANING
The March Full moon is christened “Worm Moon” by the native Americans. The name “worm moon” is linked to the arrival of earthworms in the soil during March in certain regions. As the ground begins to thaw after winter, earthworms become more active, and this activity is often associated with the start of spring. Other names for the March full moon from other cultures include the “sap moon” (referring to the sap flowing in maple trees) and the “crow moon” (indicating the cawing of crows as they search for food).
Aries season starts with the perfect balance of day and night as we reach 0º of this zodiac sign. It is also officially the beginning of the Pagan new year. The promise of Imbolc is fulfilled, the sap is rising as the natural world is coming alive again. Night and day are in equal length at the Spring Equinox and slowly we will notice that the days are getting longer.
What festivals take place during Aries season? Ostara takes its name from a Germanic fertility goddess. You can also clearly see the name has influenced the word ‘Easter’ in Christianity with much of the same themes carrying through. Of course the Greco-Roman traditions also have Aries as the first sign of the zodiac. The spring lamb no less.

ARIES SEASON MEANING
So we celebrate fertility, the return of our mojo and wanting to roll in the hay once more 😉 The cardinal, urgent Aries traits start to make themselves felt more and more as Aries season picks up momentum. We should all be feeling a little more frisky by now. So let’s shake off those winter cobwebs!
The Goddess Ostara is associated with the hare which is also a lunar symbol. The hare is a major symbol of fecundity as it can even conceive while pregnant. They don’t say “F*** like rabbits for nothing…” This hare eventually became the Easter Bunny who brought yummy chocolate eggs to the children on Easter Sunday.
