Full Moon in Virgo: Tuesday 3rd March
New Moon in Pisces: Thursday 19th March
Spring Equinox: Friday 20th March
Theme of the Month: Cleansing, Surrender & New Life
March is the hinge between worlds.
Virgo begins the month with discernment and devotion, asking us to cleanse, simplify, and refine. Pisces follows with softness and surrender, dissolving what cannot cross the threshold. And then the Spring Equinox arrives. Equal light and dark. A true beginning.
This is a month of preparation and promise. Clear the altar. Wash the windows. Dream the dream. Step into the light.
🌕 Moon Phases & Rituals
✨ Full Moon in Virgo: The Sacred Cleanse
Virgo teaches that tending the small things is holy work. This Full Moon invites purification of space, body, and intention.
You’ll need:
- A bowl of water with lemon or rosemary
- A cloth
- A white or pale green candle
Light the candle. Dip the cloth into the water and gently wipe a surface in your home.
As you clean, say:
“I clear what clutters. I bless what remains.
I honour the order beneath all things.”
Wash your hands in the remaining water and let them air dry as a symbol of release.
Optional: declutter one drawer, inbox, or commitment that drains you.
✨ New Moon in Pisces: Ritual: The Dreaming Bowl
Pisces opens the gates of intuition and imagination. This is a liminal New Moon, perfect for visioning without forcing.
You’ll need:
- A dark bowl of water
- A silver coin or shell
- A notebook
Place the coin or shell in the water. Gaze softly into it.
Ask:
“What is trying to be born through me?”
Write whatever arises, without judgment.
Leave the bowl overnight and pour the water into the earth the next morning.
✨ Spring Equinox: Ritual: Balance & Bloom
The Equinox marks the return of balance. Light and dark stand equal. Life begins to quicken above ground.
You’ll need:
- Two candles, one light and one dark
- Seeds or small eggs
- A bowl of soil or a plant pot
Light both candles. Hold the seeds and say:
“I honour the dark that held me.
I welcome the light that calls me.”
Plant the seeds in the soil.
Extinguish the dark candle first, then the light. Trust the growing season has begun.
🪄 Monthly Spell: The Threshold Blessing
Use between 19th–22nd March
Stand at your doorway at dawn or dusk.
Place one hand on the doorframe and one on your heart.
Say:
“I cross with clarity. I cross with grace.
I step into growth at my own pace.”
Take one intentional step forward.

📖 March Journal Prompts
At the Full Moon (3rd)

What small change would create meaningful clarity?
Where am I overworking instead of trusting?

What dream feels fragile but persistent?
Where do I need more compassion for myself?
What am I ready to release into the ocean of possibility?
At the Equinox (20th)
What has quietly grown within me over winter?
What balance am I being asked to restore?
What seed am I ready to plant in action?
🌸 Seasonal Portal: Ostara – The Spring Equinox
Ostara celebrates rebirth, fertility, and the promise of growth.
In ancient traditions, eggs, hares, and blossoms symbolised life returning in abundance. It is not yet high summer glory. It is tender, hopeful, green.
Let yourself begin gently.
🌼 Equinox Ritual: The Egg of Intention
You’ll need:
- An egg (real or symbolic)
- A pen or marker
- A bowl of salt water
Write one word on the egg that represents what you want to grow this year.
Hold it in both hands and say:
“From shell to soil, from dream to action,
I nurture this word as a sacred seed.”
Place it on your altar, or if real, crack and cook it mindfully as an act of integration.
