“An eclipse is a wonderful time for healing, as it brings to the surface deeply buried patterns within us that no longer align with our highest potential. If you feel that other people and you yourself are a bit more sensitive and emotional during this time, be lenient with yourself and with them, and this will allow healing to proceed more smoothly.”
Emmanuel Dagher
A lunar eclipse is a cosmic event that occurs several times a year. Eclipses, both lunar and solar, affect people in a certain way.
The Moon is responsible for a person’s physical body, health, and well-being. A lunar eclipse most strongly affects a person psychologically and their emotional background.
Therefore, it promotes psychological changes. If you have long wanted to change something in yourself, in your character, or get rid of bad habits, then a lunar eclipse is a suitable time for this.
This time, the lunar eclipse closes the eclipse corridor and will occur on March 3.
This phenomenon is always favorable for removing everything superfluous and unnecessary from your life. It is an opportunity to clear space for letting in the new.
Read in the article which rituals for the lunar eclipse will be effective for improving your life.
The influence of eclipse energy on a person
The energies of eclipses begin to affect people during the period three days before the cosmic event itself and three days after. During these days, people experience an unstable emotional state.
Over a short period of time, a completely bipolar flurry of emotions can manifest in a person.
He either reacts aggressively to something insignificant, with increased irritability, or falls into an apathetic state, when everything loses its significance, and there is no desire to react to anything at all.
Then some event causes delight and tenderness to the point of tears, so much so that the person is bewildered as to why it affected them so deeply.
Given the increased excitability, on such days, control your emotions, maintain a calm state, show care for loved ones, understanding that many of their reactions are caused by the current moment of the eclipse.

Cleansing Properties of Lunar Eclipse Energy
The eclipse brings to the surface all the outdated that prevents a person from moving forward, hindering their development. It highlights the ballast, by discarding which, a person clears the way for the new.
During the period of a lunar eclipse, there is an intensified cleansing from everything untrue.
For how outdated ballast manifests in situations, read the article «Shaking Off the Old as a Sign of Transition to a New Reality».
During the eclipse period, the development of situations can be of two types:
- The first option — when a person clings to the old, tries to hold on to what needs to leave their life.
If a person does not want to let go of what no longer serves them, they plunge into negative emotions and experiences.
Understand that things that no longer have a place in your life, things that it is time to leave you, will leave anyway.
Such things will be forcibly removed from a person’s path through pain and despair. And their indignation about this will only worsen the situation.
- The second option is when a person is ready for change, voluntarily lets go of outdated patterns, and consciously gets rid of something.
Then the changes they let into their life will be for their benefit.
Be as flexible as possible, accept what the moon reveals to you without resistance, judgment, or complaints, without expectations of how everything should happen according to your opinion. Be conscious in these moments and do not panic.

Recommendations during eclipse days
- Do not plan anything global. It is advisable to spend such periods alone, to immerse yourself in yourself.
- Do not try to hold on to what is leaving your life. Do not grieve over losses. Only the unnecessary leaves, what no longer serves you, what destroys you and your life.
- Control your thoughts, actions, reactions, and states. Do not sort out relationships with anyone.
- Be attentive to ongoing events, do not get drawn into tense situations. Use the state of the Observer. This way you will be able to soberly assess how things stand in situations that concern you.
- Allow yourself more rest, do not overexert yourself physically.
- Get your affairs in order, free yourself from the outdated. This applies to your apartment, workspace, relationships, thoughts, emotions, and all areas of life. This way, you will make room for the new, which will enter your life after the eclipse.
Rituals for the Lunar Eclipse
I will describe three rituals for the lunar eclipse, from which you can choose one that appeals to you, or you can go through all of them. Everything is individual; feel which ritual resonates with you.
When preparing for any ritual, tidy up the room and create a pleasant atmosphere. Use candles, incense sticks, or aroma lamps. This adds a sense of festivity and mystery to the moment.
Invite whomever you consider appropriate to participate in your ritual – angels, archangels, guides, celestial teachers. Ask them to protect you during the ritual and help you realize your intentions.
No. 1. Release from What Has Already Outlived Its Purpose
Write down on a piece of paper everything you are ready to release from your life.
These could be negative emotions, unconstructive personality traits, bad habits, debts, some problematic situation, physical discomfort, illness, excess weight, or people unpleasant to you.
Things that no longer work, hinder your development, and worsen your life.
After writing, burn the paper in the flame of a candle. And scatter the ashes to the wind. In this way, you engage two elements in the ritual — fire and air.
At the end of the ritual, do not forget to thank yourself, the elements, and all the forces that helped you in this action.

No. 2. Removing a stone from the soul
Find a stone on the street. Its size, quality, and color do not matter.
Talk to the stone, ask it to remove everything unnecessary from your life, ask it to take all the excess from you and contain it within itself.
Transfer to this stone all the pain, emotional negativity, and heaviness that lies on your soul and hinders you. After all, it is no coincidence that there is such an expression about a stone in the chest.
Thank it for its help, then throw it far behind your back and walk away without looking back. The past belongs in the past, especially an unpleasant past, and there is no need to look back at it.
You can throw the stone into a river, downstream, with the thought that the flow of water carries all adversities away with it.
Important! Perform such a ritual in a deserted place where there are no people, so as not to inadvertently cause harm to anyone.
No. 3. Saying goodbye to outlived items
Surely you have a tiresome item at home. It could be some souvenir that you have long wanted to throw away. You no longer like it, it has become boring, but you still could not bring yourself to part with it.
Or perhaps some annoying piece of jewelry that it is time to discard. Find such an object in your home.
Talk to this item. Tell it how it once brought you joy, how much you liked it, but now the time has come to part ways, that your paths are now different.
Ask it to also take with it everything unnecessary from your life, list specifically what does not serve you, what the item needs to take away.
Thank, say goodbye, and take this thing out of the house with the words:
“As the old thing leaves my home, so everything unnecessary and outlived leaves my life.”
This item can be thrown away, or you can simply leave it somewhere in the yard as a decoration, if it is appropriate, let it adorn a flower bed, for example.
Thank the moon for everything it has shown you! Thank yourself for the conscious acceptance of the moment and enter the new without the old ballast.
