A cosmic call to let go
The Worm Moon—the last full moon of winter—carries powerful transformation energy. Named for the earthworms wriggling back to life beneath the thawing soil, this full moon is all about emergence, renewal, and release. But this year? It’s coming with an extra dose of cosmic intensity—because tonight, we have a total lunar eclipse.
A Blood Moon occurs when a total lunar eclipse casts Earth’s shadow over the moon, turning it a deep red. Eclipses are cosmic plot twists—they accelerate change, expose hidden truths, and force us to release what no longer serves us.
Paired with the Virgo full moon, this eclipse is a wake-up call to get ruthlessly intentional about what stays and what must go—mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
The Blood Worm Moon in Virgo reaches peak illumination at 2:55 a.m. ET on March 14 (or late on March 13 for night owls on the West Coast like me).
And Virgo? This sign is the queen of precision, healing, and organization. This full moon eclipse isn’t whispering—it’s practically shouting, “Declutter your mind, body, and soul. Like, right now.”
What’s the Blood Moon asking you to release?
A full moon illuminates what’s been hidden. An eclipse? It clears the path—sometimes dramatically, sometimes subtly, but always with purpose.
Under a Virgo full moon lunar eclipse, the focus is on:
Routines & Rituals – Are your daily habits supporting your highest self, or just keeping you busy?
Health & Healing – Time to refine your wellness practices (without Virgo’s perfectionism, okay?).
Decluttering & Organization – What needs to go? Your junk drawer, your inbox, your energy-draining habits? All fair game.
Service & Purpose – Are you living in alignment with your values, or is something (or someone) pulling you off track?
Virgo energy is all about refinement and purification, but under a Blood Moon eclipse, the question shifts from "What can I fix?" to "What am I finally ready to release?"
Eclipse-Approved Rituals for Letting Go
If you’re like me, you love a good full moon ritual but need it to be simple and sustainable. No four-hour ceremonies, no 18-step moon baths—just small, powerful moments that actually make a difference.
The “Let It Go” Candle Ritual
Good for: Releasing control, perfectionism, or that nagging self-doubt.
📝 Write down what you’re releasing—doubt, worry, the death grip you have on things that aren’t yours to control.
🔥 Light a candle and focus on the flame as you whisper (or scream, I don’t judge), “I release this with love.”
💨 Let it burn for a few minutes, then snuff it out as a symbol of setting it free.
Bonus points if you do this under the eclipse energy—because when the universe is hitting refresh, so can you.
The “Set Your Intentions” Candle Ritual
Good for: Planting seeds for the next chapter (Virgo-style: practical, tangible, and doable).
🕯 Choose a candle color that represents what you want to cultivate (green for abundance, white for clarity, blue for calm, etc.).
📜 As it burns, write down one or two realistic actions you can take toward that goal.
🛑 Snuff it out with commitment, knowing you’re ready to move forward.
Eclipses bring change, but you get to decide how you step into it.
The “Sacred Space Reset” Ritual
Good for: Clearing out physical and energetic clutter.
🕯 Light a candle while you tidy up, anchoring your intention to clear old energy.
🎶 Play calming music, open the windows, burn some incense, or diffuse essential oils.
💆♀️ When you’re done, sit with the candle for a moment, acknowledging the shift.
Because when you clear your space, you clear your mind. And nothing says I’m ready for my next era like a freshly reset vibe.
This Blood Moon lunar eclipse is here to help you—even if it doesn’t feel like it in the moment. Sometimes things leave our lives so better things can enter. Sometimes clarity shows up only after we surrender. Sometimes letting go is the only way forward.
So if something’s unraveling? If a door is closing? If you’re feeling called to let go?
Lean in. Trust. Breathe. And let it go.
What are you releasing this Blood Moon? Drop a comment and let’s purge together.
