Full Moon of March 25, 2024: how will the Moon and the eclipse impact astrological signs? (I)

The first Full Moon of spring, that of March 25, 2024, occurs during a lunar eclipse. Powerful energies, coupled with that of Libra, the moon sign par excellence. An explosive combo we will explain in details.

Spring has arrived with the equinox and Ostara on March 20, but already a first Full Moon coupled with an eclipse has reshuffled the cards. The Moon will be full on March 25, 2024 at 8 a.m. Paris time, the energies the strongest will therefore be present during the night from Sunday to Monday. What does she have in store for us?

What does this Full Moon in Libra have in store for us?

This Full Moon of March 25, 2024 is placed in the opposite sign of Libra (the Sun is in Aries, it is the start of the zodiacal year), in "a penumbral lunar eclipse". According to our observations, it encourages “new relationships, pushes us to move forward and break free.”

During the last days of this rising Moon, you will feel the wind of revelation, awareness and the unexpected arriving. We see in this lunation a conclusion, a last goodbye to “everything we have left, released, liberated, cried, finished over the last 6 months, since October 2023”.

With thidss Full Moon in Libra, new desires and new relational choices open up. You can help and love another, but more at the expense of your personal love. The sacrifice is over. You now know how to set your limits.

The negative effects of this Full Moon: watch out for breakups!

First eclipse of the eclipse season of 2024. “It sheds light on and in our relationships” by shedding light on problems, particularly relational ones, Zaza develops. Placed in the sign of Libra (in the South Node), it invites us to let go and let go of the past.

We no longer seek to be validated by the other, this is what this Full Moon in eclipse changes and which could produce sparks. But who says sparks can also mean meeting and love at first sight! Whatever the case, our relational patterns are intended to change during this lunation; it is the time for renewal, especially in our hearts and our feelings.

Full Moon Eclipse: why is the Moon red?

What exactly is a Full Moon eclipse? From an astronomical point of view, a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is placed between the Sun and the Moon. In these moments the lights emitted by the Sun are obstructed and do not reach the Moon, except the color red, the color with the longest wavelength is the only one to pass through the Earth's atmosphere and reach the Moon, thus tinting it red.

March 20, Spring Equinox 2024: What is it exactly?

When does this take place?

In the northern hemisphere, the spring equinox will occur this year on March 20, 2024, at 9:25 p.m. GMT. In the southern hemisphere, it will take place on December 21 at 9:48 p.m. GMT.

What is the spring equinox?

As mentioned above, equinoxes occur when the Earth's hemispheres are tilted neither toward nor away from the Sun. Therefore, the Sun is located directly above the equator and both hemispheres receive an almost equal amount of sunlight. After the spring equinox, the affected hemisphere (the northern hemisphere in March and the southern hemisphere in September) tilts closer to the sun, resulting in more hours of daylight , with earlier sunrises and later sunsets.

When does spring start in 2024?

Spring in the Northern Hemisphere begins on March 20, 2024, at 9:25 p.m. GMT. In the Southern Hemisphere, spring begins on September 22, 2024, at 12:44 GMT. This is consistent with the astronomical approach, which suggests that the equinoxes mark the transition from winter to spring and from summer to fall. The dates of these events are based on Earth's position relative to the Sun and can change from year to year.

The meteorological approach suggests that spring begins on March 1 (or September 1 for southern latitudes). Such an approach is based on annual temperature cycles. It also follows the Gregorian calendar and has fixed dates that allow a year to be divided into equal quarters and make it easier to compare monthly and seasonal statistics.

Day and night equality 2024: deconstructing the most popular myth

Despite common misconception, the length of day and night at the equinox are almost equal, but not exactly the same. There are two reasons for this: atmospheric refraction and the definition of sunset and sunrise.
