A total lunar eclipse is upon us.
In the early hours of March 3, 2026, we’ll be under the skies and the influence of a total lunar Full Worm Blood Moon eclipse at 12° Virgo.
In honor of this lunation, author and tarot reader Kerry Ward has pulled a guiding card for each zodiac element.
“The full moon lunar eclipse in Virgo signifies a time of culmination and emotional release. It encourages individuals to reflect on their health, daily routines, and self-esteem, urging them to let go of perfectionism and self-criticism,” Ward told The Post.

“It serves as a reminder to seek balance in life, focusing on spiritual health and the optimal organization of daily functions,” Ward said.

Ward advises fire folks to stop second-guessing their instincts.
“You have been circling the same options, and this eclipse is the perfect time to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ based purely on your initial, guttural response,” Ward advised.
She promises that if you honor and follow this physical knowing, you will not be led astray.
“There has been a mindset shift recently, you feel differently about some aspect of your daily life, and you’ve had ideas about making a change to align your actions with your mindset, but you’ve talked yourself out of it. Now is the time to put your instincts into action.”

The Wheel of Fortune
Ward notes that eclipses always deal in the unpredictable and can result in quantum leaps that take us further than we thought possible.
“Get in flow with this eclipse energy by making a change this week, something tangible, perhaps related to a health or personal development goal,” said Ward.
“You will be amazed at how far and how fast you will go. This eclipse supports practical steps, positive changes, and shifts toward a healthier, happier routine. Do what’s good for you, and the Universe will amplify the results tenfold.”

Five of Cups
As an eclipse amplifies the effects of a full moon, it can heighten emotions and intuition, unleashing the proverbial floodgates.
Feeling and revealing if you will.
In tandem, and according to Ward, the Five of Cups symbolizes loss, grief, and disappointment.
“You have been hard on yourself recently, maybe talking to yourself unkindly and not being fair or patient with your progress. You will notice, be appalled, and decide to change this habit during this eclipse,” said Ward.
“You may even grieve for your shadow self’s pain and the way it has treated you. You must embrace and forgive this part of you. Once done, the relief, sense of liberation, and empowerment will be immediate and intense. This is a true turning point.”
Water signs – Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
The Star
Good fortune abounds for water folk under this eclipse, and it comes wrapped in the divine sign of The Star.
“The Star blesses you this Full Moon. This means you get to make a wish or witness a dream come true,” said Ward.
“This moon is in Virgo, so link hope to self-improvement, progress, practical action, and organization. Maybe a lifestyle change for the better? Make your wish on March 3, say a prayer, charge a crystal, write a mantra… and then take small steps in its direction the following week. Magic will happen!”
