march 3
last night’s sky felt different. not just because it was a blood moon, but because it happened on the 3/3 portal. moments like that always make me pause and think about how connected everything can feel when you're paying attention.
the 3/3 portal is something a lot of spiritual communities talk about when the date lines up as march third. in numerology, the number three is connected to creativity, communication, and expression. when it repeats like 3/3, people believe the energy becomes amplified. it’s often seen as a time where manifestation, intention setting, and emotional alignment can flow more easily.
some people meditate on days like this. others write intentions or manifestations. some focus on creativity, growth, or speaking their truth.
then add a blood moon into the mix and the moment feels even more intense.
a blood moon happens during a lunar eclipse, and many practitioners associate eclipse moons with endings, release, and transformation. it’s often seen as a time to let go of things that no longer belong in your life.
some people write down what they want to release and burn the paper. others cleanse their space, pull tarot cards, or spend time journaling and reflecting.
one practice that comes up a lot during moons is making moon water. usually people leave water outside or on a windowsill so it can absorb the moon’s energy.
but blood moon water is one of those things that people have very different opinions on.
some practitioners avoid making it entirely. they believe eclipse energy is chaotic or unpredictable, so they feel that capturing it could bring that same unstable energy into their practice. for them, it’s better to simply sit with the moon’s energy and focus on reflection and release.
others believe the opposite.
some practitioners see blood moon water as incredibly powerful because of that intensity. they might use it for protection work, transformation rituals, or deep shadow work. the idea is that eclipse energy can help break cycles or push major change.
neither perspective is really wrong.
that’s one of the things i love most about spiritual practice. there isn’t just one correct way to do things. people follow what feels right to them, what aligns with their beliefs, their intuition, and their experiences.
some people will avoid eclipse water entirely. others will collect it carefully and use it for powerful rituals. some people won’t do anything at all except sit outside and watch the moon.
and honestly, all of those approaches are valid.
spirituality is such a personal path. everyone is looking at the same sky, the same moon, the same moment, but interpreting it through their own lens.
i think that’s part of what makes it so meaningful.
