Libra Full Moon

    We celebrate the Full Moon in airy Libra on Sunday, March 28th at 2:48pm EST. Full Moons indicate a polarity between the sign the Sun is in and the Moon sign. The Sun entered Aries, at the Vernal Equinox on March 20th and will be opposed by the Libra Moon, working its' way to an Air/Fire polarity tomorrow. While Full Moons are always about seeking some kind of balance, it is especially so when in Libra, the sign of the Scales. This is the natural axis of self/Aries and other/Libra. Harmony and fairness is what we seek in relationships of all kinds.

   The first and most important relationship is that of the personality self to the Higher, or Soul-centered Self. Getting to know oneself is the foundation for positive and fulfilling relationships with others. It doesn't matter if those relations are kith and kin, friendly, business, or romantic. Libra wants to maintain equilibrium between the two sides so that the dance between them is fluid and fair. This Full Moon will highlight any imbalances and give us an opportunity for give and take, in order to restore fairness, or equity.

  Looking at the chart for this Full Moon, we see a preponderance of planets (4) in Air signs, and a similar emphasis on the Fire element with the Ascendant, 2 planets, and the South Node all in Fire. Air feeds Fire and that is certainly the case here! Our thoughts, connections and interactions with others are fanning the flames of inspiration, desire and aspiration. Venus sitting alongside the Sun today, brings her warmth and affection to connections with  acquaintances, while Mars directs his energy toward talking and socializing within small groups of friends. 

   The enjoyment of social gatherings, visits to museums or shared virtual entertainment events can be different ways this is expressed. Other examples of collaboration between these positive, outgoing elements can show up in brainstorming innovative ideas or working together to find exciting connections that bring people together. If what you seek is harmony, focus on how you can bring it to the table so that others feel empowered to contribute as well.

   Another big factor at this time is the alignment between Mercury/communication and Neptune/the unseen, traveling together in Pisces. As ruler of this ocean sign, Neptune is quite at home here and will be for several more years to come. However, Mercury isn't so comfortable in the water, where speaking and hearing is muffled. Like being underwater, you can only tune into how you feel and wait to resurface for clearer definition. Connections become more intuitive and agreements or negotiations more fluid. This is great energy for creative, spiritual or humanitarian endeavors, not mundane pursuits! It's a good idea to wait until after Mercury pulls away from Neptune and enters Aries in about a week, before making new starts, especially major decisions or document signing.

   In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the company of loved ones and stay balanced between heaven and earth... you know - feet on the ground and head in the stars.

   

Pisces New Moon 2021

    Once upon a time, there was a Prince(ess)... so starts one story under this New Moon in Pisces, early Saturday morning, March 13th. This Moon has the propensity to hold space for your self-care, healing and letting go, so long as you listen to your intuition. Logic and reason don't really have any place here as the Sun and Moon align in this sensitive and compassionate Water sign. Psychic abilities are enhanced now as we let these vibrations just flow around us. What is your inner muse whispering in the silence? There is a caution here not to be delusional. It's one thing to be caring and trust in the universal flow, it's another to write a complete fiction around your current reality... and they all lived happily ever after... or not!

   We are at the zodiacal point where it is important to consider what brought us here and how best to navigate toward our long-range goals. Be aware of the emotional hooks that bind us and want to pull us back into an unsustainable dream. Acknowledging our thoughts, feelings and past behaviors and seeing what worked and what didn't, is the stepping stone of letting go under a Pisces New Moon. When you've swept away the cobwebs, decluttered each room in your mind and tossed out the meaningless knick-knacks that are mere souveniers of your past travels, you'll be doing some good work in clearing space for new beginnings next month.

   Another facet of this New Moon phase is Saturnian responsibility separating from the need for a complete rebellion against any form of structure or authority. Be your own authority figure, decide what you want to acheive that will give you the most inner peace. Giving you an assist now is action-oriented Mars operating through curious Gemini and resonating beneficially with Saturn in independent and enlightened Aquarius. Making new connections,  new pathways to move forward, is the benefit of this alignment in Air.

   Let this be your timeout, a retreat if you will. The Sun moving through Pisces, this last sign of the zodiac, is when we get to reflect and regroup before the Spring Equinox when it enters Aries, the time for new growth. The lunar phase overlapping this period wants us to pay attention to our dreams, our intuition and our feelings as we begin to move forward in a week.

   Remember, while drifting through clouds of nostalgia in the starry sky, or imagining your future, to keep your feet firmly on terra firma as you pursue your dreams. And maybe, just maybe... you'll live happily ever after~
