After the solar eclipse of the new moon on February 17, the full blood moon on March 3 will offer a fascinating celestial event: not only will it be a lunar eclipse (the moon will pass in the Earth’s shadow) in the sign of Virgo, but it will also be tinged with red. This spectacular moon, known as the ‘blood moon’, will particularly affect people of these four astrological signs, as astrologer Bérénice Delignat reveals.
What are the key messages of the full blood moon on March 3, 2026?
“What if you no longer needed to control everything?” The lunar eclipse of March 3 in Virgo poses this question head-on. It marks the end of a cycle of mental tension and opens up a space where perfection ceases to be a protection. For the past year and a half, we’ve been working, often unknowingly, on control, perfectionism, the fear of doing things badly, the need to be useful, efficient and irreproachable. This eclipse brings this cycle to a close. It brings to light that little inner voice that still says, “It’s not enough”, “I must do better”, “I must deserve”. Opposite is Pisces. A totally different energy. Gentle. Vast. Spiritual. A call to let go of control. To accept that you don’t understand everything. To trust in something greater than oneself.
The climate is very sensitive, almost mystical. You may feel more permeable, more intuitive, more moved too. This is normal. This eclipse isn’t trying to push us to act, but to get us to put down what’s exhausting us mentally. It invites us to let go of our need to analyse, anticipate and master everything. It’s a deep karmic reset: we stop operating in survival mode. We understand that security doesn’t come from perfection, but from surrender to a higher power. That service does not mean sacrifice. That faith cannot remain an abstract idea, but must become an experience.
This is not an eclipse of chaos, but of purification. A key moment in the year when we free ourselves from control and open our hearts. We reconnect with our divine unity.
Which astrological signs are most affected by this full moon?
This eclipse primarily affects the mutable signs: Virgo, Pisces, Gemini and Sagittarius.
Virgo: end of a personal karmic cycle, liberation from perfectionism and the need for control.
Pisces: activation of the evolutionary path, call to embody a more concrete faith.
Gemini and Sagittarius: questioning of beliefs, certainties and relationship dynamics.
What ritual should I do around March 3 to harmonise with the energies of the eclipse?
“In a quiet moment, write down a list of what you’re still trying to control in your life. Then ask yourself honestly: is this really protecting me, or is it wearing me down?” Delignat advises. “Choose just one mental or behavioural habit to symbolically release. Take a deep breath and repeat: “I no longer need to be perfect to be safe and loved.”
