This 3 March is very special because a total lunar eclipse will take place on that day. Do you always find the energy of the full moon gets to you? If so, make sure you’re well prepared, because this energy is full-moon energy times 100! Emotions, intuition and subconscious layers are greatly amplified. And because this is a total lunar eclipse, we’ll be experiencing a sort of ‘energetic reset’.
In this blog, I’ll give you some tips on how to work with this reset and the moon’s energy, and how to turn them into something useful for you.

During a total lunar eclipse, the moon temporarily turns dark. This is because, at a certain point, the sun is directly opposite the moon. This symbolises the parts of your emotional or spiritual life that are normally ‘visible’, but which now briefly disappear into the shadows. As a result, hidden themes and aspects can come to the fore and become visible.
This eclipse may feel like a turning point, where the contrast between order and chaos, reason and emotion, becomes very clear. It may bring about a change within you, allowing you to let go of perfectionism and trust more in the flow of life. Let go of old patterns and have faith.
As this full moon is in Virgo, you may feel a strong urge to take a close look at your health, lifestyle and habits. Old fears or worrying thoughts will come to the surface, so that you can transform them with the help of the moon’s energy.
Total lunar eclipses can accelerate karmic processes. This means that things which no longer feel right, or which do not belong to you, may suddenly cease or come to an end. What you actually need may suddenly appear in your life out of the blue. Think, for example, of relationships, your work or your inner beliefs.
As I mentioned earlier, you can make good use of the moon’s energy, but it can also really get you down. That’s why I’m giving you some tips to get started in the week leading up to 3 March, as well as some lovely rituals to perform during the eclipse.
𝙏𝙞𝙥𝙨 𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙙 3 𝙢𝙖𝙖𝙧𝙩
🌕 𝙹𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚗𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐 – Keep a notebook by your bed. Your dreams may be more vivid, and you might gain some insights from them. So make sure you write down your dreams straight away after waking up! Often, they won’t mean anything to you at that moment, but a few days later you might be able to make sense of them. Also, write down what you want to let go of: what do you no longer need, what do you want to do differently – particularly when it comes to your health, both physical and mental.
🌕 𝙿𝚊𝚔 𝚘𝚙 𝚝𝚒𝚓𝚍 𝚓𝚎 𝚛𝚞𝚜𝚝 – An eclipse can be very intense, so don’t pack your schedule too full around this date. Make sure you can go to bed early and take things at a leisurely pace throughout the day.
🌕 𝚂𝚒𝚐𝚗𝚊𝚕𝚎𝚗 – Pay close attention to your surroundings; the clues might be right there for the taking! Intuitive insights, dreams or coincidences can show you the way. Make sure to write these down in your notebook too.
🌕 𝙶𝚎𝚞𝚛𝚏𝚛𝚎𝚚𝚞𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚎 – Let yourself be soothed by the lovely scent of the Power of the Moon. Stop the roller in your bag, so you can use it throughout the day on your wrists and around your neck. Or/and use the oil in a diffuser or small aroma burner in a place where you spend a lot of time.
🌕 𝙺𝚛𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚎𝚗 – Carry a crystal with you these days, such as moonstone. Moonstone opens the door to your intuition and inspires your creativity. During the full moon, it amplifies this energy, allowing you to experience a deep connection with your inner wisdom and the moon.

𝚅𝚘𝚘𝚛𝚋𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚒𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚍𝚊𝚐 – Tidy your room or house. Perhaps you have a lovely spiritual corner in your home where you can get started. Cleanse the space energetically as well with sage or Palo Santo. You can read about how and why to use this in this in-depth blog. The Clean Energy This spray can really freshen up a room. It also cleanses your own energy at the same time.
Set up a little altar if you don’t already have one, and make sure you place some lovely spiritual items on it. Think of stones, candles, incense, oils, figurines, flowers, etc. Place some fresh white flowers there to enhance the purifying energy.
On a pretty piece of paper, write a list of habits or beliefs that no longer serve you. What do you want to let go of? Think of perfectionism, anger towards someone, fear of failure… Anything goes, as long as you’re ready to let it go. On another piece of paper, write down a dream, a wish or a spiritual aspiration.
𝚃𝚒𝚓𝚍𝚎𝚗𝚜 𝚍𝚎 𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚍𝚞𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐 – Sit down in your favourite spot at home, make sure you won’t be disturbed, and light a candle. Close your eyes and breathe deeply in and out. Become fully present. Visualise the moonlight fading away for a moment and the ‘shadow’ helping you to bring old patterns and beliefs to light.
Take your list of things you want to let go of and say out loud:
“I let go of what no longer serves me. I trust in the flow of life.”
If it’s possible and safe to do so, you can burn your list. Otherwise, tear it into small pieces and throw it away. You could use the scent frequency if you wish Letting go to give your intention an extra boost.
Next, take the piece of paper with your wish written on it. Hold it to your heart and say out loud:
“I send this wish out into the cosmos. I am open to receiving it at the right time and in the right way.”
Finish off with a glass of water and jot down briefly how you’re feeling and whether you’ve received any spiritual messages. Go to bed and let your dreams bring you messages.

In the days following the total lunar eclipse, you may still experience vivid dreams or gain valuable insights. Be sure to write these down and read through your notebook again later. Personally, I find it helpful to let the scent frequency support me after such a ritual Chomolungma.
Chomolungma is an ancient goddess and one of the oldest deities in Indian traditions. Her name is the original name of Mount Everest. She is the goddess of the mountain itself and watches over those who visit its sky-high peak. She offers wealth and spiritual insights to those who seek her counsel. You can sense a primal feminine power and a divine energy that give you grounding and strength to tackle new projects with focus. A truly fantastic fragrance!
A week after the total lunar eclipse, look back on your ritual and feel the lightness in your energy, as you’ve been able to let go of some old baggage. I hope that you, too, will join in with this ritual – or with a ritual of your own – during this special lunar eclipse, so that you can at least make use of the powerful energy that this moon brings.
