Theme: "Sacred Order: Grounding, Healing & Transformation"
Attuning to Lunar Rhythms with Soulful Sundays
Every fortnight, Soulful Sundays offers a ritual guide to help you align with the energies of the new and full moons. These guides provide daily practices leading up to each lunation, allowing you to move harmoniously with the cycles of expansion and renewal.
Engaging in regular rituals enhances emotional balance, focus, and resilience. Incorporating ceremonial cacao deepens these experiences, opening the heart and fostering a profound connection to the moon’s rhythms.
Aligning with the Virgo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
On Friday, 14 March 2025, at 5:54 pm AEDT, we welcome the Full Moon in Virgo, amplified by a Total Lunar Eclipse. Eclipses are powerful cosmic resets—portals of transformation that bring deep revelations, endings, and new beginnings.
Virgo, the sign of precision, healing, and service, invites us to refine our daily routines, cleanse what is no longer serving us, and integrate practical rituals that nourish our body, mind, and spirit. With the Sun in Pisces opposing the Virgo Moon, we are called to find balance between the mystical and the practical, the flow and the structure, the dream and the discipline.
This Full Moon Eclipse is an invitation to release perfectionism, embrace healing, and trust in life’s unfolding.
🔮 Themes of the Virgo Lunar Eclipse:
🌱 Declutter & Purify – Cleanse your physical, mental, and emotional space
🌀 Surrender to Change – Let go of old patterns and limiting beliefs
💫 Balance Logic & Intuition – Integrate spiritual wisdom with practical action
🌿 Deep Healing & Self-Care – Prioritise holistic well-being
As Virgo governs ritual, routine, and discernment, this is a potent time to refine your daily practices—to create sacred structure that supports your growth, rather than restricts it.
