The Virgo Lunar Eclipse: A Turning Point for Clarity and Release
This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo brings a moment of revelation—a culmination of details we may have overlooked, patterns we’ve unconsciously maintained, or responsibilities that have become too heavy to carry. Virgo, the sign of refinement, discernment, and devotion, invites us to assess what is truly working in our lives and what is draining our energy.
Eclipses often act as cosmic course correctors, pushing us toward inevitable change, whether we feel ready or not. This Virgo eclipse asks us to ground ourselves in reality, clear away distractions, and get intentional about how we manage our time, energy and commitments. While the emotional intensity of an eclipse can feel destabilising, Virgo’s practical wisdom reminds us that small, mindful adjustments lead to lasting transformation.
Themes of This Full Moon
Themes of control, perfectionism and over-functioning may surface, urging us to release the need to “do it all” and instead prioritise what truly aligns with our well-being.
It’s a time for simplifying, organising and letting go of the weight we no longer need to carry—both physically and emotionally.
• Releasing unnecessary burdens – Let go of responsibilities, habits, or expectations that drain your energy.
• Gaining clarity on priorities – Refocus on what truly matters and align your efforts accordingly.
• Breaking patterns of perfectionism – Shift from over-functioning to a more balanced, self-compassionate approach.
• Simplifying routines for efficiency and ease – Streamline daily habits to create more space for what nourishes you.
• Shifting mindset around control vs. trust – Embrace flexibility and allow things to unfold naturally.
• Decluttering and creating space – Whether physically, emotionally, or mentally, clearing excess makes room for renewal.
Reflective Journal Prompts for this Energy:
• What responsibilities or commitments feel overwhelming right now? Are there any that I can delegate, release, or redefine?
• In what areas of my life do I hold myself to unrealistic standards? How can I offer myself more grace?
• What habits or routines support my well-being and which ones feel depleting?
• Where in my life am I seeking control? What might happen if I allowed more flow and trust?
• How can I create space—physically, emotionally, or mentally—to invite more clarity and ease?
This eclipse is a powerful moment of refinement ~ an opportunity to clear what no longer serves and create space for what truly matters. Let it be a turning point toward a lighter, more intentional way of moving forward.
The Tarot Card Message: Ten of Wands *Reversed
The card I've drawn for the collective at this full moon eclipse is the The Ten of Wands reversed. It arrives as a direct reflection of this Virgo eclipse energy, highlighting burdens we have carried for too long. This card suggests that we are reaching a breaking point ~ a moment where the weight of responsibilities, expectations, or self-imposed obligations becomes too much to bear. The reversal invites us to loosen our grip, release unnecessary pressure and restructure our approach.
With the eclipse acting as a catalyst for change, this card asks: What are you holding onto out of habit or obligation rather than true necessity? The Ten of Wands reversed encourages a shift in perspective—acknowledging that we don’t have to carry everything alone. Whether this means setting boundaries, asking for support, or simply deciding that some things are no longer worth our energy, this is a time to lighten the load.
As you navigate this eclipse, allow the Ten of Wands reversed to guide your self-exploration. Notice where exhaustion is creeping in and see it as an invitation to realign.
What can you release to move forward with more ease?

Full Moon Eclipse Ritual with KISH Studio Jewellery
Theme: Release & Renewal
This ritual focuses on unburdening yourself from what’s weighing you down and realigning with what truly matters.
You’ll Need:
• A piece of Black Onyx jewellery (such as the MAYARI Hoops) to ground and protect your energy.
• A Scarab Amulet or a talisman personal to you that symbolises renewal and transformation.
• A candle (white or black for cleansing).
• A journal and pen.
• One of the suggested crystals above.
Ritual Steps:
1. Set the Space – Light the candle and hold your Black Onyx jewellery in your palm. Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and visualize yourself shedding stress, perfectionism, or unnecessary burdens. Feel the weight lifting.
2. Reflect & Write – In your journal, answer:
• What responsibilities or habits do I need to release?
• Where am I striving for perfection in ways that no longer serve me?
• What would my life feel like if I let go of this burden?
3. Charge Your Jewellery – Place the Scarab Amulet (or chosen talisman) over your heart and state an affirmation:
“I release what no longer serves me. I welcome ease, trust, and renewal.”
Imagine your jewellery absorbing this intention, becoming a daily reminder of your commitment to let go.
4. Burn or Tear the List – Safely burn (or tear up) the notes of what you’re releasing. As the paper turns to ash, visualise those burdens leaving your energy field.
5. Close the Ritual – Thank yourself for this moment of clarity. Hold your crystal and jewellery once more, sealing the energy of release. Wear your Scarab Amulet as a reminder that you are stepping into a lighter, more aligned version of yourself.
Post-Ritual Integration:
For the next few days, focus on creating space in your schedule, mind, and body. Avoid unnecessary commitments and be mindful of perfectionism creeping back in.
