Illumination, the Full Moon

Tomorrow there is a Full Moon factor. I remembered I wanted to write about it last night as I peeked out my window to see which neighbor had left their porch light on. This happens to me once a month (obviously just once a month). I always notice a light shining in my window as bright as a light bulb and I realize it's just the big luminous full moon. Last night I felt like the (almost) full moon was shining its beam right through my blinds and onto the exact spot where I sleep in my bed. I wondered if that direct light and energy shining all night effects a person. So I did some homework and here is how it might be effecting your world.

This month's full moon occurs tomorrow March 27 at 5:28am EST in the sign of Libra. Full moons bring things to a culmination usually involving emotions. Libra rules balance, harmony, love, and relationships. Opposing this full moon is the Sun is in Aries, the sign of basic self needs and action. Libra and Aries are opposite signs directly across from one another on the zodiac wheel so this is especially interesting.

It means there is a tug of war or things finally come to a head, to light, etc. On one side of the rope you have the 'self' (Aries) and on the other 'partnership' (Libra). There may come to pass a conflict on expressing yourself in a relationship, choosing a relationship over yourself, or some other combination of sorts between what YOU want and need and what can make a partnership feel balanced. So don't be afraid to change, speak up for yourself, or listen to what someone you love needs and be open to letting your grip go in order to achieve balance and change.

And to give this whole opposition another big bang, Venus, Mars and Uranus are all also in the sign of Aries. Venus reps love, money, relationships (note this isn't JUST romantic relationships and love but the whole gambit). Uranus is unpredictability and self expression. Mars is that planet moving things forward through action. So what the hell does all this mean? Here's the best I understand.... it means that the Universe will take all those aspects of your life, mentioned above (love or money, a struggle between self and relationships, unpredictable events and action), shake 'em up and throw them back out on the table in a new formation. The pieces of your life will look a bit different after the fact, but it's a good thing. This is a moment in the sky when we are all getting bit of astrological transformation.

So there you have it. This is supposed to be a powerful full moon. Transformative, surprising, and a bit rough.

I'd love to hear your feedback on what's going on in your life.....anything crazy happen? Post a comment below or on Facebook.

Fire....FINALLY!

My last post in February was about all the heavenly bodies above our heads being in the sign of Pisces - the watery sign of the fish. It's a sign that takes the path longest traveled, winds about, moves and is swayed by the slightest force of wind and feels emotional, nebulous and indirect.

If you've been eager or impatient to make much needed changes in your life, this energy may have driven you insane. Even as a water sign myself (I'm a Cancer), this drove me nuts. I wanted to shake life by the shoulders and say MOVE!

But fear not! Tomorrow, March 12, Mars - the planet of passion, action and drive will enter the sign of Aries where it is VERY at home. The zodiac sign of Aries is ruled by Mars so these two get along quite nicely. The flowy energy we've all been dealing with will ignite with fire, decision, drive, and motion forward. HOORAY. Are you guys ready?

Mars stays in this sign until April 20, 2013, so expect this period to be about aggression, action, making choices, having choices made for you (by dear ole Universe), things heating up, and feeling impulsive.
One thing about Aries, that I've described in earlier posts, is that this sign can almost be like a newborn baby. All that is important are the needs of the here and now. So during this time, people may be impatient to make decision and take action where they don't give a lot of thought to consequence or the needs of those around them. But, at this point, who cares!!!!  We have had PLENTY of time to consider other people's feelings the last month or so while Pisces - an emotional planet  - ruled our actions.

So be prepared, good luck and keep me posted on what fires get lit and what fireworks explode in your world!
