BLAME IT ON THE BLOOD MOON:  A TOTALLY NON-EXPERT GUIDE TO CELESTIAL SELF-CARE


Consider this your permission slip to declutter your life—and maybe justify that extra Bodha incense purchase—because the universe said so.

Let's get one thing straight: I’m no astrology guru—I curate beautiful things for a living, have a soft spot for palo santo, and was raised by a mother who adored rituals and regularly invoked angels with myrrh. But hey, when the universe serves up a cosmic spectacle as irresistible as the coming Blood Moon Eclipse, who am I not to jump on the celestial self-care bandwagon (and maybe sell a palo santo or two)? Here’s my completely amateur—but sincerely enthusiastic—take on why tonight’s eclipse might just be the perfect excuse to clear some emotional clutter, set some intentions, and shop a little... (Just kidding. Sort of.) 

Tonight—or, if you're feeling cosmically precise, the very early hours of tomorrow—we’re graced by the captivating presence of a Full Moon and total Lunar Eclipse, affectionately dubbed the Blood Moon. Every 29.5 days (coincidentally—or not—about the same length as our own cycles), the moon reaches its radiant climax, signaling a time of release, illumination, and celebration. Think of it as a celestial mini New Year’s Eve, but with fewer sequins and more sage burning. 

For those of us lunar enthusiasts (shoutout to my horticulture lovers), this isn’t just any full moon—it’s a transformational spectacle. Lunar eclipses are renowned cosmic life-correctors, revealing truths, prompting sudden realizations, and gracefully nudging (or sometimes shoving) us out of outdated patterns and relationships. So yes, hold tight—it's celestial intervention season.

Adding another layer of starry intrigue, tonight’s Full Moon occurs in meticulous Virgo, the ultimate cosmic editor (believe me, I know—I’m married to one!). 

Virgo energy loves order, clarity, and a good decluttering session. Channel your inner Marie Kondo and ask yourself: What sparks joy? What feels stale? What’s just cluttering your emotional closet? This Virgo moon practically begs us to ditch the baggage, streamline our intentions, and make room for clarity and abundance. 

However, hold your new ventures! Mercury slides into retrograde on March 15, creating cosmic static in communication and planning. Channel your energy toward finishing what you've started and think twice before launching big new projects. Hint: revision might be wiser than revolution. 

And since we're in a particularly potent lunar moment, why not lean into rituals? Tonight, I'll be lovingly sweeping every corner of my home (with my Bravada Tonic)—energetically clearing out dust and doubt—and lighting palo santo to invite fresh positivity. Rituals, whether grand or quietly personal, help us consciously tune into the universe’s rhythm. They remind us of our power as architects of our own energy spaces. 

Whether your ritual is journaling beneath the moon’s crimson glow, creating a serene altar, or meditating on the transformations you seek, let the Blood Moon’s deep red hue be your gentle yet potent reminder of beauty in release. Embrace this cosmic reset—it’s here for you, supporting your evolution and quietly whispering that every ending holds space for luminous new beginnings. 

And hey, if all else fails—blame it on the Blood Moon.
