The full moon in March 2024 is a lunar eclipse, so it is more powerful and longer-lasting than a regular full moon. It coincides with Venus sextile Jupiter, making the meaning of the full moon in March 2024 astrology love, good fortune, cooperation, and a desire for peace.
The March 2024 lunar eclipse also aligns with a star encouraging friendship and cooperation. However, it also suggests that the terms for peace may be unrealistic or suspicious.
Full Moon March 2024 Astrology
The full moon on Monday, March 25, 2024, is at 05°07′ Libra. As the full moon horoscope below shows, it makes aspects to Mars and Pluto. However, the quincunx to Mars has too wide an orb to be felt. The trine to Pluto is more significant but has a moderate influence.
The primary planetary influence is Venus sextile Jupiter. However, the most significant astrological influence on the Lunar Eclipse of March 2024 comes from a fixed star in very close alignment at 05°10′ Libra.

Lunar Eclipse March 2024 Astrology
Like a regular full moon, only more potent, the Sun opposite Moon of a lunar eclipse sharpens the focus on home, family, and intimate relationships. Opposing forces, such as work versus home or what you need versus what you want, create inner tension and external pressures. This can lead to conflict and crises that drain your energy.
The lunar qualities of emotions and instincts will climax during the March 2024 lunar eclipse. So, use your increased emotional strength and intuition to overcome any relationship challenges. Subconscious awareness allows for an honest and balanced look at your relationships. You will see any relationship dynamics or negative feelings causing disharmony.
The Planets
Full Moon trine Pluto gives emotional sensitivity and psychic perception. You will feel things more powerfully and likely be transformed by your intense emotional reactions. Intimate relationships can also undergo a positive regeneration.
You may be driven to probe other people’s feelings and appear possessive or obsessive, but others will likely welcome your interest. Your interactions with others, especially with family members and women, will be more intense and profound than usual.
Venus sextile Jupiter brings growth and good fortune. It is a pleasant, loving and creative influence that encourages cooperation, peace and harmony. It is ideal for relaxing, partying, making money and making love.
Socializing, dating, and making friends come easily; new friendships should be genuine and mutually beneficial. Good luck applies to travel, financial investments, business deals, higher education, and the law.
The Constellation
The Full Moon in March 2024 is in the Sign of Libra, but as the star map below shows, it is located in Constellation Virgo. The Signs and the Constellations do not match up. Over the last 2000 years, the Constellations have moved nearly 30° out of alignment with the Signs because of the precession of the equinoxes.
The Zodiac was invented only as a measuring device. The degrees on the ecliptic line in the image below equate to those in the Full Moon horoscope. I use the Fixed Star and Constellation like the ancient astrologers, not the Signs and Houses of modern astrology.
As the image below shows, the March 2024 Lunar Eclipse 05°07′ Libra aligns closely with Eta Virginis, Zaniah, at 05°10′ Libra.
Full Moon March 2024
The Virgin
Virgo Constellation is ruled by Mercury and has always been associated with purity, diplomacy, discernment, intellect, and analysis. Harsh aspects (opposite the Sun) can cause criticism, fussiness, hypocrisy, gossip and self-pity.
The Moon in Virgo Constellation gives a receptive and analytical mind, retentive memory, a retiring nature, an eye for detail, fluent speech, and a wish to serve. Harsh aspects can cause timidness, nagging, an unfunny wit, a lack of self-confidence, and criticism and perfectionism over unimportant details. [1]
The Star
Fixed star Zaniah at 05°10′ Libra gives refinement, honor, congeniality, order and a lovable nature. [2] As a Venus-natured star, it gives artistic appreciation, unexpected gains, good fortune, riches, good judgment, sociableness, creativeness, idealism, and impulsiveness. Harsh aspects cause wantonness, indiscretion, scandals, foolhardiness, destructiveness, cleverness, anxiety, and self-seeking. As a variable star, Zaniah also gives a tendency to be argumentative, inconstant and unreliable. [1]
The Moon with Zaniah gives worry, loss through legal and Venusian affairs, trouble through writings, and a tendency to be led astray by sympathies. [2]
An outward appearance of congeniality but involvement in controversial subjects and people. With harsh aspects, it gives a tendency to speak without thinking of the consequences and a lot of time disengaging from the controversy, legal involvements and spur-of-the-moment decisions, generally based on sympathy, not logic. [1]
A talent for negotiating peace and the intuition for knowing to call a halt to battle and either offer or seek terms for peace. However, the terms for peace may either be unrealistic or downright ‘shady,’ especially with harsh aspects. [3]
Full Moon March 2024 Meaning
The March 2024 full moon has a stronger-than-usual astrological influence because it is a lunar eclipse. This influence is positive because of the favorable planetary aspects and the Venus-natured fixed star. Pluto encourages positive transformation while Venus sextile Jupiter brings love and good fortune and gives a desire for peace and harmony.
Fixed star Zaniah is the most significant influence on the March 2024 lunar eclipse astrology. It encourages friendship and cooperation, but the Moon does not bring out its best side, instead causing worry and loss. This star’s variability and opposition to the Sun also bring arguments, unreliability and controversy.
Combining the planets’ influences and Zaniah, this eclipse’s central theme is the desire for peace. The challenges posed by Zaniah are unrealistic or suspicious terms for peace and being led astray by sympathies.
Eclipse Phases
The influence of the March 25 lunar eclipse will combine with that of the April 8 solar eclipse to form an eclipse phase that lasts about six months up to the lunar eclipse on September 17, 2024.

Jamie … As always a great take on a full Moon Lunar Eclipse, it will be interesting to see IF / how this may translate into any results in ending the conflict in Gaza, I personally doubt it but you never know & what is in your analysis certainly does at least suggest, the potential for some level of resolution don’t you think ?
Also … could you perhaps say anything / something about that photo you’ve included at the top of article
because I sure would like to know more about it if there is any info at all available – thank you ! – Lindsay
Bansky! “armored dove”
Right On Well of Course ! Thanks !
Oh Jamie, I thought of the British Graffiti in Walls: the author of the pigeon work is this post is excellent. Several years ago I beg mysekf to read this website ~ not as a Astrologer, but as means of learning and study of such interesting intuitIve discipline which is supported by Astronomy. I love Psysics of course . CONGRATULATIONS!¡¡
I always learned so much from your analysis and I love how you incorporate the fixed stars and constellations. Thank you!
Yes appreciate fixed stars interpretation
When will the deception of these wars by the West be discovered?
All Wars end in decepction point. Here I have remembered a book ‘Deception point’ ( Dan Brown writer of The Da Vinci Code).
Hi Daniel. A while ago I wrote that the 2020’s got off to a rough start but we had a bright future. From 2025 to 2029, all three outer planets are in harmonious aspect with each other. Uranus is trine Pluto, with Neptune at the midpoint. It will bring amazing discoveries, inventions and breakthroughs in science, technology and medicine.
Since I wrote that, I have realized that it will also expose secrets and bring revelations, especially about global, behind the scenes types of things. It has begiun already with the Epstein affair and reaction to Israel from once steadfast allies.
Received your Lunar Eclipse notification at 3:07 pm EST Jamie,Just getting back from the grocers. Till time stamp, 4:43 pm EST.

Hi Jamie,
great post! Does anybody have any thoughts about fixed star Zaniah being within 1 deg of the midpoint 06deg 09 Libra of natal moon in virgo 28deg06 and south node libra 14deg24? Is it anything, too obscure or not tight enough orb? Thanks
Your knowledge of the fixed stars is amazing and invaluable 👍
Moon conjuncts natal mercury. Zaniah: led astray by sympathies. I am guilty guilty guilty. It is so wired in. My advocate has mercury venus in Aries. Since I am in kind of a war, I guess I have to swing towards her ariesian approach even tho it makes me cringe at times.
Paul, I love the shopping list chart. Made me chuckle.
The eclipse is right on my Neptune. Here’s hoping this brings me inspiration rather than (further?) delusion / illusions …
As I have ties with Israel, I find the situation in Gaza very distressing.
Found a theme song for my guilty self. Rolling Stones Sympathy for the Devil. 🤣
Per udiscovermusic.com, this is what Richards said about the song. You want to think the world is perfect… [but] you can’t hide. You might as well accept the fact that evil is there and deal with it any way you can. ‘Sympathy For The Devil’ is a song that says, Don’t forget him. If you confront him, then he’s out of a job.”
At 2:55 am EST I climbed through the window, and from the roof looked south, the Lunar eclipse. The night was chilly, but without wind. Took a few snapshots starting at 2:57 of a hazy moon, rather unremarkable, except towards the end, about the 3:10 mark where the Moon brightened considerably, and by 3:14 was back to its old self where you can observe the features on the Moon unaided.
Sun conjunct my natal Moon tonight, and conjunct my progressed Venus.
Overcast here for eclipse but as moon conjuncted natal mercury which sextiles natal Uranus, my head was zing zing zing and I was up through the wee hours spinning in in circles. Uranian energy can be hard on me. Transiting Uranus sextiling natal mars now is insanity.
Thank you for the detailed information
Crocus asteroid 1220.
Back in January natal Crocus conjunct North Node and Part of Fortune, Lunar Return 829.
I have limited computing tech and s/w, and could only muster one asteroid for this transit. But there are plenty angular 7th, in a sextile to Crocus.
The chart didn’t get posted at the time, but with the Moscow event, perhaps relevant to the investigation

Good stuff. Really good stuff. Zaniah conjuncting my natal mercury. I feel fated. It’s a thing to deal with. Like a characteristic. Even more interesting with natal mercury settling natal Saturn. Not as far as outer event stuff but just something I have to accept and deal with. Awesome info.
Hi Vic. Thank you for the feedback about Zaniah.
Natal mercury septiles natal Saturn. Nothing ‘settling’ about that. 🤣
