2026 Full Moon in Virgo Lunar Eclipse 

Triggers for mentions of War and Humanity’s Shadow

This Full Moon Eclipse in Virgo on 3/3/2026 ….

I have tried to write this about 6 times and am left at a loss. I want to post something for this Moon so I decided to just post my notes and allow that to be OK.

On 2/28/2026 the US and Israel started a war with Iran.

Previous to this Sarah Vrba spoke about this Lunar Eclipse being a “reclamation of energy, intuition, wholeness. Calibrated nervous system. 

Healing recovery repair”. Personally, I just felt shattered. We have been at war in the US my whole life and history shows just what a waring nation we are. From the very beginning we have been expansionist and colonial.

The Dark Side of Virgo/Pisces polarity is Victim/Perpetrator and Sado Masochism and the distortion of the Divine for these purposes.

“Moon dipping into Shadow Going into a beautiful sacred bath, Virgo healing…. allowing salves and balms to be applied any places we have been wounded. Invitation to claim this for myself.

Deep invitation of Virgo to return to our Gut and our Nervous System… Release, allow energies to move through our system and calibrate. Huge energy shifts of late. Dissolve old containers, build new ones over time. Meanwhile rest. Bring more of our system back online that was denied/suppressed 

Sextile of Moon in Virgo with Jupiter Cancer: Matriarchal and reciprocal. Mutual Care and tender nurture and expansion of that. Feel that energy come to and emanating from you. Very alive and awake now. 

Queen of Wands and Hermit.” Sarah Vrba.

Not feeling like a balm, more like an open wound of deep, anguish, pain and horror. Ecocide, genocide, matricide, femicide; all one and so unbearable. My gut recoils in pain, horror and revulsion.

Weaving something. Steadiness. Always there (Earth). Bold inspiration and tender vulnerability. Cleanse, recalibrate, repeat. 

As the old structures explode and collapse find ways to digest and clear the trauma so this cycle can come to completion… insight from Keoni.

Not getting caught in the experience, feel and release, repeat.

Not acknowledging the Shadow makes it larger and larger, more intense and insistent. I am That, includes the Dark.

What I wrote in a precious post: “the Pisces/Virgo Lunar Nodes call us to embrace our Oneness and release stories and belief systems of Othering, and of the Victim/Perpetrator cycle.

The Buddhists say, “I am That”.

The Chinese character 想 xiǎng means to think; to believe; to suppose; to wish; to want; to miss, and consists of the characters for Wood/tree and eye meaning 相 mutual, reciprocal; equal; each other, and the character for  心 [ xīn ] heart; mind; soul  (www.purpleculture.net). Thus, that which we perceive literally IS us and when we bring this understanding into our hearts our belief and desire for Oneness is born. I say this because Oneness is our greatest Heart’s Desire.” from my Full Moon in Gemini 2025 (December 4th, 2025).

This is the hardest part, feeling the pain, not turning away or to addiction but facing it, feeling it and allowing it to be just that bad, then releasing with love and forgiveness. Forgiveness day today in Daoist Lunarsolar Calendar (3/3/2026).

If we are sure we couldn’t possibly be that violent or cruel ask ourselves, “how do we treat our bodies?” Can our body eat good food when needed? Clear, clean water? Rest and sleep? Breaks from tasks, even creative ones we relish? Ease from and after work? Do we scream, curse, whip at our body when she/he/they can no longer bear the load? When our body feels pain, tired, lethargy how do we speak to ki*? With kindness? Support? Or violence, shame and blame.

The Body is the key. Virgo Moon says go back to the body supported by Jupiter in Cancer as the Great Mother.

Recalibrate, Mountain solid.

All Stop, War should make everyone all stop. Not go on as usual. Not business as usual. All Stop, go back to the Body and recalibrate. Even though the pain is so great we want to numb out, distract, overwhelm with grief and pain, submerge in addiction ..Stop. Go to ground, back to the body who is solid and Earth.     

“A man experiences much pain and discomfort as wings sprout on his back. (Omega Symbol). Becoming stronger in our ability to deny the compulsions of our ego, we find we are suffering consciously, and for a purpose, and that it is leading to our freedom.” John Sandbach
