Full Moon in Libra on the Spring Equinox

Spring is finally here and with it a Full Moon in Libra tonight. There is already a shift in energy with the end of winter and beginning of spring. The Sun always moves into Aries on the spring equinox bringing the astrological new year. There are new beginnings in the air and the Full Moon brings a culmination point now as well. 

Full Moon's are a time of harvest, completion and then letting go. We are shedding the old as we move into spring. This Full Moon is happening at zero degrees however. We've had quite a series of Full Moon's at zero degrees. Every time we shed the old, there is a new beginning being birthed at the same time lately. 

This Full Moon is happening in Libra. It's really interesting because next month we are actually going to have another Full Moon in Libra as well. This is a rarity. This means that relationships are going to be really highlighted during this time. 

Full Moons are made up of both the energy of the Sun and the Moon. The Sun will be in Aries and the Moon in Libra, so we are dealing with the Aries-Libra axis. This axis is all about the self (Aries) vs relationships with others (Libra). This is a time to make sure your need for relationships is in balance with your need for independence. Anything upsetting this balance needs to be let go of. It's a time to bring more balance and harmony to your life. If you've been so independent that you aren't making room for relationships then this will be brought into question. If you've been sacrificing yourself for someone else then this will be brought into question. This is all about having healthy relationships in your life where there is compromise and you don't have to sacrifice your identity or sense of individuality. 

Chiron in Aries will be conjunct the Sun during this Full Moon helping us heal our sense of independence and identity within relationships. Releasing and healing times when this was sacrificed in the past. It's important to have a strong sense of self in healthy relationships. To never have to give up your identity or your own needs. This healing element can be so powerful for healing our egos and sense of individuality. 

At the time of the Full Moon Venus in Aquarius will be making two big exact aspects. On on hand Venus will be sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius. This is an aspect that can help us grow and expand in the realm of relationships. It can be a bit lucky. It can help us gain a new perspective on our beliefs about relationships and help us get out of our boxes or comfort zones. 

The other aspect Venus is making is a square to Mars. This is interesting because Venus rules Libra and Mars rules Aries. The planetary rulers of the Full Moon are square each other! This can bring some tension around relationships. Although this tension does have potential to be somewhat exciting  if it brings about healthy sexual tension. Venus is the feminine energy and Mars the masculine. The feminine and masculine energies within ourselves could be at odds. If one is out of balance it's a good time to recognize it and bring it back into a state of equilibrium. Are you too in your yang energy 'doing'  too much or pushing forward too much? Or are you too passive in a yin state? It can be different for everyone, but I know in today's world it's more likely that you're out of touch with feminine/yin energy. If so when you bring these back into balance it can bring harmony to your relationships as well.

It's a big day full of lots of shifts. Lots of things are ending, beginning and being brought back into balance. Don't forget it's still Mercury Retrograde, so all may not be clear yet and there's still a need to go with the flow. 

Mercury Retrograde and New Moon in Pisces: Let Go of Mentally Trying to Understand and Surrender to the Flow

Is everybody ready? We are entering into a MAJOR Pisces zone. This is because we have a Mercury Retrograde in Pisces starting right now (March 5th 2019) that will last till March 28th and a New Moon in Pisces on March 6th 2019 (8:03 am PST). This next month prepare to leave typical reality behind and enter into a crazy high energy Piscean zone. It's time to go about things in a totally different way because what you're used to won't work during this time. At it's lowest this time could be very confusing or even chaotic. Yet, if you navigate this energy well, which I'm here to help explain to you (yay astrology!) this time can be really cool and profound. I have such a strong feeling that this is a time where it's so important to know what's up with the astrology because it can be a game changer. 

Before I even get into the specifics I want to talk about the overall way to navigate this energy because that's the most important thing at this time. 

The thing that you need to forget about this month is mental 'understanding'.

The thing you need to totally tune in with this month is 'the flow'. 

Got that? Ok let me explain.

Mercury has to do with the mind, thinking, and attempting to understand situations. Mercury however is in Pisces and there's this New Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune. Pisces isn't about thinking or understanding. It's about connection to all that is. It's about flow. It's about surrender. When there is a situation in our life what we understand about it is always married to what we also don't understand about it. We come up with some answers though through thinking and then perhaps feel good about it or maybe we just get more confused or frustrated. All of this comes about through thinking. Right now though the typical powers of thinking will not work for us. All situations we must not attempt to understand. Perhaps we will realize that some things we rationalized in the past we truly didn't understand at all. We filled in the blanks with rationalization and it may not have been the complete truth of the situation at all. At this time when events happen or when you connect with people, don't try to rationalize or understand. Go with things without needing to know why. Follow what you feel about them and also get deeply in touch with your intuition. If an opportunity comes up and you want to do it, do it without attempting to understand or fit it into the rest of your life. If you feel repulsed by something and don't want to do it, then don't. If something doesn't work out just let it be. It simply isn't working out. Don't obsess or attempt to understand it. It's the same with people who you connect with or who may come into your life. With Mercury Retrograde the past can come up. Don't try to understand or make sense of that either. Just let it be what it was and appreciate it or not. It's time to just accept things. To just be. To let things flow. In this state of flow and surrender, acceptance and complete going with how you feel about things is where the magic happens. Through getting out of your 'head' you'll start to see what is true and how much your can't understand and that's completely ok. A new way of being will be born that is needed in this strange space this next month, yet it can impact how you live your life from here on out. It can be so powerful. You may break free from illusions as you realize that your mind brought those about when you thought you understood a situation, but all you really did was assume. 

Ok, so now let's talk a bit about Mercury Retrograde specifically. When Mercury is Retrograde it is closer to the earth and appears to be moving backwards. It isn't though. It just looks like it. It's energy is actually super heightened and it's so close we can either lose perspective or even get overwhelmed with the energy. However since astrology is always from the earth's perspective since we are inhabitants of earth there is still a 'backwards moving' quality. When looking at an astrology chart Mercury moves backwards in degrees during a retrograde. This is why we can become reflective at these times, re-do things, spend some more time working on something before moving on and why the past comes up. Getting back to the fact that Mercury is closer to the earth than usual means that retrogrades can be a 'buzzy' time filled with connections and communications. Also just lots of information. Sometimes it can get to be so much that there is a shut down and it can become a quiet and withdrawn time. If that happens it may be needed and beneficial, so it's totally good to go with that. This time with it being in Pisces though our minds are not extra activated in the usual way. We may be extra intuitive. Things we are thinking could feel like 'downloads' from the cosmos. If we got too into our heads at this time we could end up in a very confused and chaotic state, so don't go there! 

It's also important to note with all this energy that substances at this time could lead to a rather dark rabbit hole. The energy is such that you could seriously feel high sometimes (or who knows maybe all the time!) without taking anything! 

Mercury Retrograde is known for technology and appliances going on the fritz and I think it's cause it's so close that the energy just gets too intense, things can crap out. I guess it's good to take note of, but perhaps can't be helped. 

Mercury Retrograde can also be known for miscommunications or a time to be careful about signing things or traveling. It doesn't have to be that way at all. These are just results of higher 'buzzy' energy. It you are careful and take your time attending to details and are not impulsive you can avoid difficulties. 

Alright now let's tie in the New Moon in Pisces energy! As with all New Moon's it's a new beginning point. With it being in Pisces though conjunct Neptune, which is the planet that rules Pisces, it's a different type of new beginning. One that comes with surrendering to the flow. Being ok with the fact that all may not be clear and you may not know what will happen next. One that can bring such strong spiritual connection and connection to the universe. It's time to trust in the cosmic forces as we move forward. The New Moon and Neptune are also conjunct the asteroid Vesta in Pisces. Vesta has to do with our 'inner flame'. 

Guys this is such a crazy powerful time! We are entering a time if you're open to it to align with your inner flame and spark. The cosmos. The cosmic forces. The flow of life itself. Forget about the small human acts of rationalizing and trying to mentally understand. Of course thinking is an important part of life as a human on earth and it's not like we're going to stop thinking completely or anything. At this time though, what's more important is surrender to the great, vast, beautiful flow of life without needing to control, understand or see where it's going. Reality and dreams may be hard to differentiate between now. So what? We must flow or become chaotic or confused right now. Always trust your intuition and your feelings during this time. Stop trying to mentally understand everything. This time can be so epically magical and interesting if you go with it. 

🚤Wishing you all smooth sailing in this new navigation of life this month. May it lead you to where you are meant to be and open you up to radical new ways of being and dealing with situations and people in your life. I'm honestly so excited and fascinated to navigate the seas of the month ahead with this totally different way of operating and I hope you are too! 🚤
