Hey, how are you? I hope you're well. I have the chart up in front of me of Thursday's full moon in Sydney, Australia. It's, yeah, Thursday, the 2nd of April, just after 1:00 PM. And it's an interesting one. It's a really interesting one, so I'm just gonna start breaking it down for you. We will, like with all of the full moons, for some of us, we will feel it on its approach. And for some of you, you may feel it during the full Moon period, which is the three and a half days, that follow the exactitude of the full Moon. The moon will be in Libra at 12 degrees, and then the sun will be in Aries at 12 degrees. And I wanna kind of cast your mind back to the period of, especially if Aries and Libra are strong for you in your chart. Strong meaning if you have planets here, I want you to cast your mind back too. mid-July 2023 until the 11th of January, 2025 because that was the period when the nodes were in Aries, north Node and Libra, the South node. And during that time we were really sort of becoming very aware of anywhere where we were playing liberal energy unconsciously. Which classically is things like people pleasing, adapting to the room. Even if it is outside of yourself, there can be self-abandonment with this energy. There can be a lot of resentment with this energy and, in astrology school this week, we were looking at opposites and the magic of the opposites. In astrology, in the zodiac, there's always medicine. Within the opposing sign, and that's why, you know, we get to play that out once a month with all of these full moons. This is an opposition that's at play and the consciousness is represented by the sun, which. Today, well, on this day, we'll be in Aries, and it's interesting because the sun will be within a conjunction of Saturn and Neptune who are freshly in the sign of Aries. So the sun's illuminating that. Strange and interesting combination of planets. And then looking at and bringing to light the unconscious, any unconscious aspects of the liberalness. The moon will also be Rin Pluto, which is strong. And then. We still have a lot going on in Pisces, namely Mars and Mercury, conjunct each other in Pisces, Mars is the ruler of Aries, so there's, yeah, there's a lot going on here. This isn't simple. It's funny'cause I, there's not a lot that feels simple yet this year. Is there, there's a, there's a complexity going on, like. Threaded throughout the year thus far, and to explain the complexity that I see here, the sun in Aries, that's direct energy. It's very, very direct in an excellent way, whereas Libra can be, it will get its needs met, but it can often do it through laying up a whole scenario. Rather than saying, I want this, or Could you help me with this? It will lay up the whole thing. So that the person asks you if you need the help, for example, and Mars and Mercury, so our communicative self and then our willpower. This direct energy is still in Pisces, which can often be hidden, so it just feels like. Even though the sun is in Aries now and there's a sense of like action movement, it's still, there's still like, I don't know if it's hidden motivations or, I mean, we could even say this geopolitically, there's still so much that. We haven't fully seen the cards that people are holding. We, we have a sense of it. But nothing's clear. Certainly nothing is clean in that area again, on many, many levels. And so even with the Pluto Trying Moon aspect that's taking place in this full moon, there's a lot of depth and, and like, there may be some great things that sort of come to the foreground in terms of what our own personal motivations are in, in relationally, and also in, in terms of like how we seek to create harmonious environments. One of the things with Libra, and I've been writing about all of the signs at the moment, it's the scales, right? But what you find with people who have strong Libra is, or part of their evolutionary journey is it begins with half of that scale is inside of themselves, and then the other half is out there in the room. And let's say somebody walks into the room and they're clearly in a mood, it can really throw off the inner world. And so it will seek to re reinstate harmony by like, by speaking to the person. Like, are you okay? Like, how can I help you? What can I do to make this situation harmonious for you? So that on another level, a more unconscious level, they're making the room harmonious again so they can feel harmonious again. Which is not great, which is really like, you know, you're gonna have to control your environment to feel good. Obviously that's a real, that, that, that's no long game, strategy there, I wouldn't say. And so a big part of the journey that Libra is on is to develop inner equilibrium. Within themselves, how do I harmonize myself? And, and so for many of us as we enter this week of this full moon in Libra, we'll be aware of or something to be aware of is how do I create that inner harmony for myself? And then how can we actively. Bring some of that into this week because it just feels like there's some hidden motivations or there's, I don't know, there's things at play that aren't yet obvious that may become obvious during this time yeah, it's a, it's, it's a very interesting one, you know, and the medicine for Libra is the directness of Aries and the development of the safety within one's body that A, they can be. They can even have that awareness of their wants, needs, and desires, and that they can then take action towards those things. Because at first, for, for Liberalness, that's not obvious. And, and Libra can really want to control how it is perceived. But yeah, this is the moon. So this is the inner world. This is an airy moon. So there's Clare Cognizance and the moon will be opposite Neptune. It it will be within 10 degrees. So that brings in more clairvoyance. So that com combined with having Mercury Direct now in Pisces, does bring in a level of the dream world still. Yeah, and I would say even like the relationship with. Pluto and the moon being trying one another, which is very, very supportive, like good allies. There just may be an awareness coming from the underground into our consciousness But yeah, I I, my recommendation. For this week, what makes you feel deeply harmonized in your inner world and within your domestic environment, and how can you do those things? And it's liberal, right? It's related to beauty. There's an element of beauty here. Libra is very, very highbrow because it's the air version of Venus. So we're taking that relationship to beauty and it quickly becomes a cerebral experience. So it enters the realm of the intellect. Um, I know for myself, actually, this might be related. Yesterday I was like, God, I'm so sick of all these. Podcasts on my roster, all these things that I'm listening to. So much of it with my Virgo moon is sort of growth orientated anyway, and what I did was I just thought, God, I need to bring more culture into my. Drives in, which is when I listened to podcasts. And so I looked up, Carl Ove, canal's guard, who's one of my favorite authors, and I was like, all right, he's just had a book out, like, is is he doing any interviews? So I found those, downloaded those, and started to download as well, just some interior designers. There's the Kelly Worler. Interview on Tetragrammaton, which was really enjoyable. And the Carl Ove one that I've listened to is great. I have others lined up with him this week, and it's like I need to be in the realm of beauty. And for me, beauty is something that I engage with. Yes, visually through the senses, but intellectually as well, and hearing great minds. In conversation just makes me very happy. So what are the things that make you feel that sense of like, ooh, yes, I'm stimulated and I'm also, this is stimulating me, this, but it's also harmonizing me. It's a call to like high culture. It's a call to beauty and inner equilibrium. Libra can avoid conflict in the short term, and it purely sets itself up for long-term discomfort. Whereas Elevated Libra has gotten comfortable with feeling very uncomfortable in being in, in having confrontations, in saying the things that it needs to say. And in doing so, it has short term discomfort, but a longer sense of harmony in the long term. So yeah, if there's anything where it's like there is this sort of relational disturbance and it's, it's grading you, there is a responsibility, especially when we're in airy season and the sun is conjunct Saturn, it's your responsibility to have. An awareness of your wants and needs and desires, and then to be tending to those things. Okay? That's all for me. I hope you have a great week.
