Pisces season - the most heart-centered time of the year - reaches its climax this week! The first of four eclipses in 2025 is scheduled to arrive on March 13th at 11:55 p.m. PST. As the first of four eclipses that will occur in the sign of Virgo between now and 2027, this lunar event prompts us to get back in touch with nature. As an Earth sign with strong connections to Chiron, Virgo is about healing our bodies as well as our connection with nature. While eclipses super-charge both collective and personal change, they also represent quantum leaps in our evolution. To guide you in deepening your spiritual times of the year, we’ve created a grounding ritual that will inspire a closer connection with both spirit and nature.
You will need the Protection Magic Candle, the Amethyst Carved Angel, a piece of Black Obsidian, Palo Santo, and time to walk in nature without interruptions.
Ground in Nature
Head to a nearby park, garden, or forest with a sense of reverence. Walk slowly, observing the textures, colors, and the emerging scents of Spring that emerge. Collect a few natural items that resonate, like leaves, stones, and small branches as you silently thank the Earth for her gifts. As you make your way back home, visualize grounding energy flowing into you as you purposedly release stress into the soil.
Cleanse Your Space
Back home, cleanse the area where you’ll create your altar. Use Palo Santo or a cleansing spray to purify the space and your collected items. Focus on setting an intention of protection and emotional grounding for the first eclipse season of 2025.
Assemble Your Altar
Place the Protection Magic Candle at the center of your altar. Surround it with the Amethyst Carved Angel for spiritual support and the Black Obsidian for grounding and shielding. Next, add your collected nature elements as symbols of Earth’s spirit.
Activate Your Altar
Light the Protection Magic Candle and hold the Amethyst Angel on your left hand, setting your intentions aloud: “I am grounded, protected, and aligned with Earth’s nurturing energy.” Meditate for five to ten minutes, visualizing a protective aura around you.
Close the Ritual
With intention and genuine gratitude, snuff out the candle, keeping the altar intact for the rest of the month as a source of support. Revisit it whenever you need grounding or strength or re-activate it during your usual meditation practice.
