FULL MOON APRIL 10 0.55AM AEST LIBRA 19 DEGREES
Those readers who have planets or points around 19 degrees Aries/Libra or Cancer/Capricorn will feel the effect of this Full Moon more than others. Why not check your birth chart to establish in which house (area of life) this Fall Moon occurs, so you can prepare to utilize the energy positively?
According to esoteric wisdom there are three major Full Moon spiritual festivals in our calendar year. These are: The Festival of the Christ (Easter): The Festival of the Buddha (Wesak) and the Festival of Humanity. The weekend following the first Full Moon after the March equinox is designated as Easter. Therefore, let us look more closely at the symbolic themes of Easter as: crucifixion and resurrection/ascension into a light body, or death and re-birth.
Usually the first image that comes to mind in the collective psyche is the crucifixion however it is the resurrection and ascension into the light body that is beginning to take precedence as we enter the Age of Aquarius. The Age of Pisces, an Age of suffering, illusion and deception, is coming to an end.
For the past two thousand years, during the astrological Age of Pisces, humans have bought into the belief that we must suffer on a symbolic cross. This belief, no matter how subtle and unconscious, results in self-doubt, victim status, martyrdom, escape patterns and addictions according to our own personal “cross”. The Aquarian Age we are entering is bringing sweeping changes to balance outmoded and power based religious beliefs.
Libra is about consciously creating internal balance, harmony, co-operation, justice, fair play and peace.
At this Libra Full Moon phase you have an opportunity to see where and how you unconsciously create imbalance, especially in your one-to-one intimate relationships. ‘Me’ vs. ‘We’ comes under scrutiny now. To utilize fully this opportunity you need to be willing to view and own, without judgment, your shadow psychological games. You may need to ask others for feedback to further your understanding.
A Full Moon reflects the bright light of the Sun, the source of our greatest light. Therefore, symbolically, we can see more clearly into our personal shadow side at the Full Moon phase than at other times. A Full Moon pulls the tides of the ocean more strongly than at other times. Hence the Full Moon reflects our inner tides (emotions, feelings and psychic perceptions) more strongly. With this current Full Moon activating our internal Aries/Libra polarity the best utilization of the energy is to take positive pioneering action to bring about a state of internal balance, peace and harmony.
Become aware of your Libran NICE games (Nothing Inside of me Cares Enough!). If your usual state of being is to play the passive co-dependant, doormat, NICE peacemaker-to-others role then it is time for independent, self-assertive and confident self-action. This will energize you so much you will wonder why you haven’t played this game more frequently. Alternatively, if you usually play the selfish dominating aggressor then it’s time to see yourself clearly and choose to consider others equally to yourself, thus bringing about balance.
As Libra is an air sign it would be wise to work through your relationship difficulties by talking less and attentively listening more. By opening your heart to communicating your true feelings without ever using the word “you” (as this implies blame), peace can be established in a warring relationship.
Embrace and accept your differences, celebrate the love you truly feel and commit to creating internal peace. This means facing fears and limiting beliefs, firstly by becoming aware of them and then by taking positive affirmative action to transform them. The best way to establish peace on Earth is to create internal peace within. This action is true service.
Your positive conscious choices and follow through action will not only bring about internal balance but also harmony to your relationships. Thus the energy of balance begins to permeate the collective psyche.
Watch that road rage this Full Moon! More car accidents than usual could occur because Mars and Uranus in Pisces co-join in challenging aspect to the Full Moon.
At this Full Moon phase the big planet Jupiter joins Chiron and Neptune in Aquarius. Jupiter will remain with his new playmates for the rest of this year. I wonder what games they will play to activate humanity into higher consciousness? Jovial Jupiter will be encouraging us to open our inner eyes to see the bigger picture of our creations. He can take us into Neptune’s watery realms to see our illusions and self-deceptions clearly. Big flashes of insight can occur, especially if you decide to become the “watcher” of your ego self to ascertain clearly where and why you create imbalance in your life. Chiron can then bring about healing of old experiences.
Lots of brilliant inventive ideas can now enter your mind especially when your mind and body are in a state of relaxation, calm and peace.
Venus is the planetary ruler of Libra and Venus is the planet of love. At this Full Moon Venus is still moving retrograde through Aries so many people are learning lessons around self-love. Sometimes this transit can bring about an over-exaggerated sense of enthusiasm whereby one tends to seek an impulsive path before clearly realizing the truth of feelings. This impulsive and rash action results in a disconnection from true purpose, self-respect and dignity.
When love becomes the central essence in life our consciousness takes on simplicity and honesty and this in turn gives meaning to our character. The meaning develops into the desire to embrace and understand natural law, which operates in perfect balance and harmony. Some people have difficulty reconciling ambition with love. Yet individuals become great because they absolutely love what they do. They share their gift of love naturally and spontaneously and are gifted lovingly in return. Love really does make the world go round!
May the blessings of love and light be with you always
