Full Moon in Libra and Holy Week

March 27, 2013

Greetings,

We are in the midst of an intense period of change and integration. People are experiencing strong and more intense ups and downs. The highs seem higher and the lows, lower. The most important thing to remember is that these strong energies are impacting us all, including the children. There is nothing wrong with you, it is all a part of your evolution; it is our awakening to the new and letting go of the old and outdated.

Treat yourself. Indulge yourself. Be kind and easy with yourself. These new experiences can be unsettling and so spending more time doing what is enjoyable helps to keep us in balance.

Remember that everyone is doing their best to manage, so be as kind to others as you would want them to be to you. Bless the lives of the children with your compassion, time and love. It really is all about the love. Try and demonstrate that loving energy to those that act out, as they are the ones who need it the most. We are fortunate to understand what is going on energetically. Many haven't a clue and act from an unconscious place. Hopefully our extended love will help many over the bridge.

Thanks to all who have extended love and support to me since my hip replacement. I am doing exceptionally well and continue to progress ahead of schedule.

Until next time, stay positive, be fearless and spread your light and love.

Sending love, gratitude and blessings to all.

FULL MOON IN LIBRA (7 degrees) Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 02:28 am PDT and 05:28 am EDT.

Fasten your spiritual seatbelt; this is one of the most important and intense Full Moons of the year. The Sun, Venus, and Mars have transited from the still, embryonic waters of Pisces to the dynamic fires of Aries, magnifying the evolutionary currents of the ongoing Uranus–Pluto squares and propelling all of us to take a giant step forward on our path. Whenever a faster-moving planet links up with an outer-planet aspect, the winds of change pick up. The force of this Full Moon begins as the Sun moves into Aries on March 20, then spikes as Mars conjoins Uranus at 8° Aries on March 22 and squares Pluto at 11°30' Capricorn on March 26. Strong transformative tailwinds continue through the end of the month, as the Sun, Venus, and Uranus conjoin on March 28, followed by a Sun–Venus square to Pluto on March 31, all of which greatly accelerates the drives for freedom and reform. It’s time to change or be changed. Shift Happens, inside and around us, but when we look back, we can see that things have been building to a flash point for a long time.

Aries is the first sign in the zodiac, representing the dawn of a new cycle and the sprouting of new forms. This is the archetype of initiation and exploration — the Fool in the Tarot stepping into the unknown. Ruled by Mars, Aries’ primary life lesson is the development of courage and the ability to choose one’s battles wisely. Both Aries and Mars symbolize yang, masculine energy. The conjunction of the Sun, Venus, Uranus, and Mars in Aries signifies a collective readiness for the return of the sacred masculine, which pro- tects rather than destroys life, and co-creates with, rather than dominates, the feminine.

Several aspects add to the transformative energies of this Full Moon. The Moon in Libra — the sign of balance, partnership, and peace — opposes the Sun, Venus, Uranus, and Mars, instructing us to remain conscious of how our choices and actions affect others. Jupiter and Chiron form an exact square at 11° Gemini–Pisces just a few hours before the peak of this Full Moon, helping us to grasp the big picture and connect head with heart. Mercury has been in Pisces, traveling close to Neptune and Chiron in that sign and squaring Jupiter, for most of February and March, honing our intuition and ability to access metaphysical realms. Both Saturn and Pluto make close quincunxes to Jupiter, forming a yod or Finger of God, pointing toward where we need to transform disempowering beliefs. Chiron trines Saturn and sextiles Pluto, making it easier for us to let go and trust that something better is waiting in the wings.

This Full Moon affirms that this is a time of pivotal choices, with the crucial one being living in love, or living in fear. Now is the time to act on the insights and visions we received at the previous New Moon and during the Mercury retrograde. Choose love. Embody truth. Bless the past and walk into the future, for “You stand at the threshold of a grand adventure. And the extent to which you are able to experience the fullness of that journey is determined by the extent to which you are able to let go of the scenarios that no longer serve you.” (Rasha)

 

Some excerpts are from The Mountain Astrologer by Stephanie Austin.

A Full Moon symbolizes the fulfillment of the seeds planted at a previous New Moon or some earlier cycle. Each Full Moon reminds us of the seeds that may be coming to maturity, to their fullness, to fruition, to the place where the fruits or gifts are received. It may seem that fulfillment of our goals takes a long time. Some intentions may manifest within the two week phase prior to the next New or Full Moon. Some however, depending on their complexity, may take a much longer time. Just remember that our thoughts and emotions set Universal Action in motion and much work takes place behind the scenes as everything is orchestrated for fulfillment. Keep visualizing your goals as though you have already attained them and they will eventually manifest. Do not concern yourself with current conditions or worry about controlling it. The universe takes care of those details. Just keep seeing what you want, and move in that direction with your actions, and give no energy to what you don't want. Patience is required.

PERSONAL MOON CEREMONY Find the time to have your own private Moon Ceremony. You have a three day window of energy in which to manifest your intentions. The day before, the day of, and the day after.

For the Full Moon, jot down two or three areas of your life you want to clean up. The Full Moon is the time to release or get rid of the things that no longer serve you, so by the next New Moon your slate is clean for new beginnings, or fertile for the planting of new seeds.

Possible phrasing: I now release______ from my life. I now release my destructive ________ patterns. I now let go of fear, jealousy, anger, envy, negative thinking, etc... Remember, think and envision as though you have already let go of what you have released. See yourself free and living your dreams. Thoughts are things and the brain manifests exactly what you show it in the form of thoughts and visuals about yourself. The Buddha said, and I am paraphrasing, "We are the sum total of our thoughts up to today. " If we want to be different then we must change our thoughts. What you think about grows!! "If you always do what you've always done, then you'll always get what you've always got." CONSCIOUS CHANGE is the key.

Opportunity Periods for the next 2 weeks are listed below and are a wonderful tool to maximize your efforts. Opportunity Periods reflect favorable aspects of the Moon. The energies of the Moon impact us in a very direct way. Using the positive energies that the Moon showers upon the Earth, to our benefit, makes good sense. Opportunity Periods have proven to provide helpful energy to non routine tasks. If you feel like you are always going against the grain and things are stressful, try using these time periods for more easily accomplishing important tasks: purchases, repairs, client appointments, sales calls, important phone calls, finishing goals, starting new projects, tying up loose ends, starting new relationships (except when Venus is Retrograde), job hunting, doctor visits, family meetings, etc.
