Super Full "Pink" Moon in Libra and Jupiter conjunct Pluto
Tonight leading there will be a super full Moon. You can see her in all her glory tonight and I am sure most of you have seen her the past few days growing to peak fullness. She is stunning and takes my breath away each time. She will be at peak fullness around 9:35pm tonight. Get out there and soak in some of those gorgeous Moon rays tonight. Known as a “Pink” moon because this is the time of year when flowers and plants are starting to bud and grow and pink is a common colour for the blooms. Known as a SUPER Moon because it coincides completely with perigee, which is the closest the Moon comes to Earth’s orbit and thus gives it the appearance of looking larger and closer to us. In the sign of Libra, ruled by Venus the planet of money, beauty and love. This is going to be one on how we socialize, restoring peace and balance, specifically in relationships and other partnerships. It is really important to do a Full Moon Ritual tonight if you haven’t already done one. Check out my previous blog post on how to perform your Full Moon Ritual. The one thing to remember about full Moons is they are a time of letting go of that which is no longer serving you, toxic ties, bad habits and negative influences. This is also the time to manifest what you want for the next few weeks. Set your goals, focus on them, visualize them, speak them into existence. The word socialization comes to mind a lot when thinking of this full Moon. How are most of us handling the social distancing? Because Libras are social butterflies and being caged in with minimal social interaction does not bode well for them. I can guarantee that many of us may be going through feelings of cabin fever, especially those who are either laid off or now working from home. All I will say about this is we will have to find new ways to socialize, while maintaining social distancing. It is a weird change but this is the new norm for us, at least for the next little while. If we all can maintain social distancing then hopefully we will be out of this pandemic sooner rather than later, but I foresee this pandemic lasting longer than anyone is hoping for. Find ways to interact with your friends and loved ones that are safe to do so. FaceTime on the phone, drop off care packages, talk, text and email more often, whatever you have to do to keep in touch but keep your distance. There will also be an emphasis on relationships and partnerships. If things are not balanced and peaceful they will be illuminated this full Moon. Balance is everything to Libra, and if someone is not pulling their weight it will surely be exposed during this time. Focus on being the best partner you can be. Are you pulling your weight in your relationships? How can you be a better and more helpful partner? But full Moons also at the same time are a really good time to focus inwards and pamper yourself. Especially if you are feeling particularly emotional. Stay in, take a cleansing bath, do a hair and face mask, eat some yummy food and try to get a good nights sleep. This full Moon will be affecting of course those with Libra placements, but also Cardinal sign placements which include Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.
As always full Moons signify endings and new beginnings. Light is shed onto things that have been hidden in the shadows and depending on what sign it is in incredible transformation. It is also a time of heightened emotions. Be cautious of your reactions because you may act or think irrationally. This is a good time to use crystals to keep you grounded, balanced and steady. Some Libra crystals you can use are Citrine, Emerald, Black Tourmaline, Tiger’s Eye and Labradorite. This is also an amazing time to do a full Moon ritual which month by month I post on how to perform one. We perform full Moon rituals to release and let go of toxic and negative energies and feelings. It is very therapeutic and if you can get 4 in your group, Earth, Air, Fire and Water you are a force to be reckoned with. Full Moons are also a time of deep healing and can be overwhelming. Take the time to rest if you need. People often find they are either insomniac or extra sleepy during full Moons. If you are feeling tired or not well definitely take the time to rest and recuperate. Happy full Moon friends and remember to take this time for yourself whichever way you plan to.
Lastly I just wanted to also include a little tidbit on one of our most recent astrological aspects we just embarked upon, Jupiter conjunct Pluto on the 4/4/4 portal. Light meets darkness. Jupiter the planet of luck and expansion and Pluto the planet of birth, death, rebirth, transformation and cycles. This will be revealing shadows and darkness and expanding transformation on a large and wide scale. This can go a number of different ways, good and bad. Jupiter expands everything it touches, while Pluto illuminates the cycles of death, birth and rebirth. Jupiter gives us hope, faith and shows our potential. Pluto reveals those dark aspects that need deep and all consuming transformation on a personal and societal level. There is opportunity here to break free from old patterns and take a leap of faith into a new reality. But with this comes uncomfortable change, fear and anxiety. Many deep emotions for us to process individually and as a collective. An opportunity for a paradigm shift on a global scale. We must confront the darkness with light, otherwise we will be consumed by it entirely and healing will be very difficult. We must use Jupiter’s gifts of optimism to harness the transformation and power of Pluto. Jupiter gives us the utmost hope that going through what we are going through right now will be worth it in the long run. Our broken society will heal from this, butt first we will go through hell. People won’t make it through this conjunction, spiritually, mentally and physically. But knew light and new energy are on the other side. Just hold your faith that all will be well. We are also currently in the shadow of Pluto retrograde which will begin in a couple weeks. Pluto once again the planet of birth, death, rebirth and transformation will be retrograde from April 24th in Capricorn and will go direct on October 4th. I will be writing a blog post in the next week on Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn and what to expect so stay tuned for that to find out more information!
