March’s Full Blood Moon & Total Lunar Eclipse Brings Fated Changes For Zodiac Signs
Your life will never be the same after this eclipse wraps up a fateful yet unpredictable six-month cycle.
Have the last two weeks felt like a whirlwind?
The first eclipse season of 2026 is underway, which began with the new moon and annular solar eclipse in Aquarius on February 17, 2026. Since then, there have been immense fateful happenings, occurrences, decisions, and so much more. Everything will reach a boiling point when the full moon—a.k.a. the Blood Moon and Worm Moon—total lunar eclipse in Virgo arrives on March 3, 2026. This eclipse will be unlike any other lunation, as it brings fateful endings for the zodiac signs. Read on to learn more about what this lunation will entail and how it will affect the zodiac signs.
What is a Full Blood Moon & Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo?
A full moon is a poignant period, because it represents the end of a six-month cycle. Everything you set out to do, accomplish, and manifest will come into focus during a full moon. The last six months should have given you plenty of time to make progress with your lunar intentions, but it’s not uncommon for full moons to represent what hasn’t materialized or gone according to plan. Regardless of what has or hasn’t happened throughout a lunar cycle, a full moon always feels emotional and nostalgic.
This particular full moon is extra special, because it doubles as a total lunar eclipse. Total lunar eclipses only occur when the Earth is exactly between the sun and the moon. The Earth will then cast its shadow over the moon, giving the moon a vivacious, sanguine glow known as the “Blood Moon.” Blood moons can only occur during a total lunar eclipse, since the sun, moon, and Earth have to be positioned just so for the moon to appear a deep, bloody color.
Aside from being a blood moon and eclipse, this lunation is also known as the Worm Moon. Every month’s full moon represents the ebb and flow of nature’s rhythm, so March’s Worm moon aligns with the tiny beetle larvae that begin to make their appearance as winter thaws into spring. Consider the Worm Moon your sign that spring is right around the corner.
How Will this Eclipse Affect Everyone?
Fateful yet unforeseen endings arrive when the full moon total lunar eclipse in Virgo culminates on March 3, 2026, at 6:37 a.m. ET. Occurring at 12 degrees, the eclipse will bring the last six months and 2026’s first eclipse season to a head. You may want to think back to what was going on in your life at the end of September 2025. Whatever started then will materialize now.
Instead of interfering or directing this energy, you’re better off observing what comes up three days before and after the eclipse. It’s imperative to surrender to the flow of an eclipse once you realize you have no say or control in what may happen. This particular lunation will result in destined culminations, so you may have to unexpectedly let go of opportunities, goals, connections, paths, and so much more.
In particular, Virgo’s energy alludes to destined changes with your work life, routine, well-being, and boundaries. This could be the time to let go of critics, anxiety, and other insecurities taking up space in your life. You may even feel called to let go of responsibilities and relationships that overwhelm you. No matter what, you’re encouraged to embrace the ecliptic messiness as opposed to trying to keep things nice and neat.
