Blood Moon, Clear Mind | Energy & Astrology Update | Magical Michelle Orwick

A red moon, a quiet room, and a choice that is not the one you expected. We’re diving into a rare convergence: a total lunar eclipse in Virgo, Mercury retrograde in Pisces, and a string of portal timings that make everything feel louder and more fated. Instead of doomscrolling through the noise, we slow it down and turn the lens inward—what’s ending, what wants release, and where does the “third path” appear when neither option A nor B feels right?

We unpack Virgo’s precision around health and habits, the way eclipses force closures, and how Black Moon Lilith spotlights shadow material you can finally meet with courage. From hydration, vitamins, and sleep to simple energetic hygiene, we map daily practices that restore nervous system balance and rebuild coherence between heart and mind. If you’ve felt tired, anxious, or pulled to purge closets, commitments, or identities, you’re not broken—you’re aligning.

This conversation also honors the wider ache of the world without surrendering your creative life force to it. We offer a practical ritual toolkit: two-minute breath resets, media limits, gratitude-based release, and a three-step portal practice—let go of one misaligned thing, deepen one true love, take one bold action. We close with timing insights for the new moon and equinox, why timelines can shift overnight, and how to hold vision while doing the small work that moves destiny.

If this episode steadied you or sparked your next step, tap follow, share it with a friend who needs calm, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find their third path.

Setting The Stage For Intensity

Magical Michelle Orwick 0:19

Blood moon eclipse. What else can I say? Welcome to Living Magically. I'm your host, Magical Michelle, and every week I talk about the energies and what's going on astrologically and how to navigate everything. And here's what I've got to say. This is perhaps one of the most extreme periods of time we'll ever see in our lifetimes. We've been predicting um this intensity for years. I remember seeing this back in 2017. What was gonna be coming and thinking, oh wow, that's that's gonna be an intense time. Well, welcome to intensity. And so we have like all of this stuff going down in the wee hours of the morning on March 3rd. I'm filming this in the afternoon of Monday the 2nd of March. So happy March, rabbit, rabbit, rabbit. March for me is always the month of miracles, money, manifestation, and of course, magic. And there's sort of nothing more magical that I can think of than a total blood moon lunar eclipse in Virgo. Now let's talk about Virgo for a second. Virgo is the high priestess, Virgo is the south node right now. So we're in the so we have the north node, which is your direction, and right now that's in Pisces, and the South Node, which is in Virgo. So we're talking about things like our body. Virgo is going to be structures and purging, and we're seeing that on both the collective as well as the internal. If you have felt tired and sleepy, or maybe you've had some physical issues, um, like you're having colds and digestional issues, or or whatever, and there's some kind of energetic purge going on. That's the Virgo eclipse bringing in that energy. We're in between eclipses, the liminal in between, in between, but that has sort of shifted to the 3-3 portal. We'll close up the eclipse with the new moon, which starts the equinox as well. So, so really we're in these multiple things happening at the same time. We're we're in the eclipse portal, we're in the new, I mean the full moon portal, we're in the new year portal, we're we're out of the 2-2 portal and into the 3-3 portal now. So here we are with this deep, deep convergence of all of these things. We had all that stuff happen last week, and I'm not gonna review that, but I'm just saying that is still in play. That's a long-term conjunction at play. And right here we're coming to the peak of it, we're coming to that eclipse, and eclipses bring things to completion and they bring these to closure and it brings things to light. Now, this isn't necessarily um so much an unshedding of everything as much as a release of everything we're not. So, if all of this new energy is creating a new version of you, or a more aligned version of you, or a clearer next phase for you, think of this as that liminal in-between, like the prologue to the next book. Because we really have closed a big chapter in our lives, in the world, in the collective. A lot has ended here, and now we have this new story. So if you're looking at something like The Lord of the Rings, we're on the third chapter, and so if we're going into the third book, there's sort of this setup time, and the characters have to remove the illusion of who they were. So if they're gonna step into their courage, if they're gonna step into the version of them that they were always meant to be, this means connecting to alignment. This means things you maybe were planning may not feel right. This means that with this Pisces Mercury retrograde, there is a turn inward to who you are, a turn inward to following the deeper intuition of who you're becoming, and more importantly, it's not that that's a new person, it's more that there is a connection to that deep shadow. Because here's the thing: we're also hitting um uh a conjunction, uh, a tr um an angle to the black moon Lilith. So this is really looking at your shadow. The lunar eclipse is what is the shadow for you, and what I love, and I've heard this described three different times, so I'm gonna say it again because third times of charm, but I too agree. If there's always been two paths and you didn't know which one to take, it's because now there's a clearer third path. Maybe the reason the first path or the second path hasn't felt quite right. They were preparing you for this, they were initiating you to be who you are now, and there's maybe some misalignment that you're letting go of. If you've got a habit or or even an item of clothing or a way of being or a person you've been doing, and it just no longer feels right for you, then that is time to love it with gratitude and release it. Eclipses are a massive release point. We've been in this particular eclipse cycle for a while now. We're getting close to the end. There is only one more of the Virgo eclipses, and it will be this time next year, and it will complete the Virgo eclipse cycle, the South Node cycle, and we will be moving out of the South Node in Virgo by the summertime. So, what that means is that what are you doing to take care of your health? Virgo is very much about the things that are going to be aligned for your health. What you're eating, what you're drinking, what you're putting into your body. Is your vitamins on track? Are you drinking enough water? I mean, for goodness sake, with all the water, all the Pisces, are you drinking enough water? You are literally earth, air, fire, and water. So, with this blood moon, that creates a lot of fire energy, the spark of recognizing that you're your alive. This blood moon is about that creative energy of bringing you to your creator self. The Virgo part is about being the duela of your own life, the person who helps you move through a passage. So if you could think about this as you are going through the passage of an ending and also the beginning, it's a liminal in-between. And we'll see this like really come to accumulation with the new moon. We'll have a kind kind of a clearer, cleaner new moon when Mercury goes out of retrograde on the 20th, and the new moon is like a couple of days before that. So we're going to be seeing that um astrological new year coming with the spring equinox. So that is coming, and we'll see we'll see it easier to plant seeds, but right now it's more about releasing what isn't aligned and clarity on what is aligned. So if it doesn't feel right, then pause. It is Mercury retrograde. And I don't feel like this is one where we're we're we're letting go of everything, but but take a moment before you make decisions, take it really feel into them, and don't be surprised if you're here to change your mind. And it's interesting because we're jumping timelines so fast, you can't um you can't even help it, right? So you might feel aligned to something one day and not feel aligned to it the next day, and of course, there's a level of anxiety in the air right now because of everything that is happening in the world. And this is no surprise to astrologers. In fact, it was almost as if it were faded. And I I'm not saying that this is a good thing. In fact, I think it's a horrible thing. I think that right now we are perhaps living through some of the worst times we are living in our personal lives. And so this is about regulating your nervous system, taking care of your health, finding internal peace where you can. So take time off, breathe. And I I mean take time off of doing, maybe not take time off of work, but but are you wanting to like purify your body? Meditation. I find it interesting that we're in both Ramadan for the Muslims and um Lent for the Christians, and in this astrological portal for the new age, energetic, and that a lot of times requires fasting, meditation inward, and it is so perfect for the Pisces season. So, what I'm inviting you to do is connect to your love, connect to your personal inner peace. Don't think that it's wrong to take a detox from your scrolling. I know you're watching me on social media, but but maybe it's time to limit what you're consuming. Get news once a day, but don't spend all day in it. And join me and a lot of other practitioners in a daily prayer for peace. And a daily prayer for clarity as well. I'm inviting our um, I'm I'm inviting the the spiritual world powers this new age. And what do I mean by that? And and and I know you guys come to me for for lightness. This isn't a day for light. This is a day for darkness. A total lunar eclipse is that of recognizing that the collective darkness is coming to uh to uh the surface, the evil is being uh pushed out like the festering of a pimple, and we're seeing things that we don't want to see, and so when you do that, my my invitation to you is to disconnect your energy from it, to not be sucked into um it taking your creative life force energy. So send unconditional love into every experience, send light to uh every experience, meditate once a day, if not 10 times a day. Maybe your meditation practice and your stillness practice and your reclaiming of your own energy and your and your energetic clearing boundaries is the deepest it's ever been in your entire life. And that is called energetic hygiene, right? Is that you seal up your bubble, you clear your field, you reset your nervous system, your breath only needs to be eyes closed, breathing, telling your body you're safe for two minutes to restore your field. Because one of the things that's going to be so important going forward and in these times is coherence. Your own brain-heart coherence, your own ability to hold the vibration and frequency of peace and love and self-regulation and coherence because we are changing the world. It appears as if it is the worst, but really what's gonna happen is, and this is my prediction, this is my belief, and I'm not trying to um spiritually bypass, I just feel that it's the strollogy coming to light, my heart coming to light, all the prophecies of all the different um different types of things coming to convergence right now of cleaning up the system, cleaning up and clearing and purging what is no longer serving us. So that starts internally on your own singular self, it starts then with clearing up your own physical environment, your body, your body is your indwelling temple for your spirit. So, my living magically collective, one of the things we're teaching right now is the inner temple and the outer temple and how to do that energetic hygiene. So if you feel like you don't know how, it's a very affordable price:$44 a month at the low end. And and I invite you to come be with us as we start to hold the peace timeline, hold the love timeline, find each of our own individual high priestess or priest energy, find the the energy of our next highest timeline, hold the peace timeline, and you can do this on your own, of course, but I do invite you to come and do it in group. We'll have our um full moon uh collective tomorrow night at seven o'clock. There's still time for you to join us, even if you just want to do this one activation. And so that this is my call to you is energetic hygiene. That is my that is what I'm going to hold is that to remember that you are a beautiful divine light. You are a spark. This full moon is the spark, a blood moon eclipse has to do with sparking your creative energy in the darkness. When everything converges, there is a still point, and the still point is where your breath is completely exited your body so that the breath of life can come in. Your greatest inhale, your breath of life is at its best when you've had the deepest exhale. So this is the deep exhale, this is the deep purge, this is the final release of this moment, and there'll be more releasing that we will be releasing till 2032. I'm I'm sorry to say that I can't say that next week is going to be smooth or the week after that's going to be smooth. However, I can say that you can be part of the change. We hear over and over again, be the change that you wish to see in the world. And so anchoring your own joy, anchoring your own peace, anchoring whatever it is to hold your nervous system accountable and deep self-care and deep spiritual alignment. I think spiritual alignment is the only thing that's going to get us through. And this is time, time for the collective to share, time to choose the people that are of your frequency. So if there is someone in your life that maybe this isn't the time to socialize with them, it's okay to take a pause right now. It might be that you're really like, I think April would be better for that. This might be the month for extreme, quiet, self-care, inner peace, choosing to be in small groups that really hone in. And if if you're taking care of a medical thing, take care of it. Like this is the Mercury retrograde where you want to take care of your medical. A lot of times we say, um, take care of your car, your phone, and your backup, and certainly do that. You know, I had some travel that just I booked that just didn't work out for me this week. So, you know, feel into things, feel the alignment, and be okay with no is a complete sentence, but also be okay with yes, hell yes, and what feels like it's time to take an action. So, with the number three, the three portal, think of this. What is the one thing that no longer is aligned? What is the one thing that is your deepest love right now? Do more of that, let go of the things no longer aligned, and then what is the one thing that you want to take action on? So there's there's three things, right? One, what is it you deeply, deeply are ready to let go of and just no longer feel is right for you? Two, what is already the rightest thing? Be grateful, be coherent, be in alignment with that, and that big dream that you have, design that destiny, take a step in the direction of your desire. Take aligned action, do one little thing, tell somebody do an action, sign up for a course, write the first chapter of the book, create an outline, sing the song. I don't know what it is that is for you, that next step, but this is that telltale moment of activation. So I had I had someone actually um come forward and say that activating at this time wasn't necessar was was spiritual bypassing essentially, and it wasn't true astrology. Three the 333 portal isn't real astrology, and and that aligning right now isn't true astrology, and I actually disagree. So I'm just gonna state that that I really feel that right now, if someone doesn't like what you're doing, check in, check your own personal alignment. This is the absolute moment to recognize what is a line for you and what is a boundary you're ready to hold for telling everybody else, this is what I need. And there might be in this one year period of time between this Virgo eclipse and next year's Virgo eclipse, which is also in February, the last of the Virgo eclipses for a good six years, and this end of the South Node in Virgo. My invitation is what if you were to work on one really deep thing that would move the needle, what would you commit to right now for one year? If and it's usually hard. South node is the thing you don't want to do. It means that maybe for me, it means I have to get impeccable with my habits, my food habits, my time habits, my creation habits. I have something I'm trying to bring into being. I see a lot of people letting go of the burden of lack. I see people letting go of relationships that is what are one sided. I see a lot of people. Just committing to the thing that is going to design their destiny. So if that's something, if any of these seem like you want to go forward, now is the time I have three people I could take on for a one-year design your destiny right now. So if you're interested in that, please let me know. But either way, decide what it is that you want to be different about by this time next year. And to quote Joe Dispenza, break the habit of being yourself. Virgo loves to get rid of a habit and or create a new one. So to get rid of the old habit, create new ones that are more aligned and more uplifting. Create new ones that are going to systematically help you create the life you're wanting to lead. This is alignment. So the three, three, the the number three has to do with body, mind, and spirit, has to do with the old, the new, and the present. So be present, be creative, be coherent. Yes, I know there's a lot going on, my love. And even if you're hearing this later in the week, this energy radiates all the way out till the new moon. So you don't have to do eclipse work on the day of the eclipse. In fact, the entire two weeks, really, until the next new moon, and Mercury's out of retrograde is the full-on review. So I'll have to check which exact day. I think it's like the 17th or 18th is the new moon. But but my answer is this whole next two weeks, from here for two weeks, is the energy. It's not just tomorrow. Now I realize tomorrow is a big day, right? So the fact that it's at 3:33 a.m. is the totality of the lunar eclipse, and that's Pacific time. So for those of us who are here on Eastern Time, it's gonna be 6:33 a.m. in the morning. So but the fact that it's 3.33 on 3.3 is really saying pay attention to this. It's a portal day, it's a full moon, and it's a lunar eclipse. And and here's what I say about portal days. It's not that there's anything astrological for the numbers. Numerology is more about a sign from the universe, it's more about the system of numbers. Tesla says that if you understand three, six, and nine, you will understand the numbers of the universe and be able to create. And so this one in particular, because it's 6:33 Eastern time, or it's 3:33, these are all threes, sixes, and nines. In fact, even in um England, it's 1233. So again, it the 12 becomes a three. So there's this energy of completion, there's an energy of wholeness. Because so when I hear completion, I think both finishing thing things, but also completing something and being whole. So remember, you are whole and you are complete. You are no longer the version you've been letting go of with the year of the snake. You are now in the momentum of the fire horse. What do you want to do with that? What are you going to do? Are you going to shrink? This isn't the time to shrink. This is the time to be the love leader you were always meant to be. This is the time to lead with your heart, lead with your mind. Of course, purge whatever you need to purge because, again, the season's going to be about clarity. Clarity, completion, wholeness, knowing who you are, being the power that you want to be, and being in charge instead of at effect. So being at cause instead of being at effect. So are you going to do the one, two, three things that are going to bring you to your next level? I think so. I think the highest destiny is coming. I think that this is the time to put in the hard work, the energetic spiritual, psychic labor to really visualize the world that we're creating, really send energetic healing and peace into the earth grid and into the people. And so if you think that there is nothing you can do right now, the last thing I want to share with you is that you can imagine putting healing, even if it's just the words, I send unconditional love and healing into the earth, I send unconditional love and healing to the people of Earth, the planet, the animals, the buildings, everything that is part of our matter. It all matters. So if you are feeling like you need to send love to the animals, to the people, to the heartbeats of this planet, do that. And I do that by uh saying in with love, out with love. I see love, I imagine love, I feel love, I am love. And I just imagine that the whole planet is coated with unconditional love. And I do that every single day. So you can tap into that if you ever need it. Yes, I actually imagine every single day that anybody who needs it, who is praying for help, is receiving what they need: shock and trauma release, help, healing. And so you can be part of that. So share it with me by remembering every day to send that out whenever you have time. But the next time you feel powerless, remember we're creating the power grid that's going to shift the energy. It's shifting, it will shift. It's going to look a little bit horrific on the outside. And it and I'm not bypassing that there are horrors. In fact, it hurts me deeply, just like I know it hurts you that this is all happening. And what can you do? You can send unconditional love. So that's sort of my last theme is to remind you that you are love. And the way we are going to change this world is to send unconditional love out into the world, into the grid, into our visualizations, into our vision for the next highest timeline. With all of that, I love you. May this eclipse and this season of Pisces, Virgo, Virgo full moon, and the Pisces Mercury retrograde be with you. And remember, you are love.
