LIBRAN FULL MOON ECLIPSE: Illuminating Relationships

Its eclipse season and we begin with a Full Mon Lunar eclipse at 5 degrees of Libra occurring on March 25th.

This is the third eclipse occurring across the Aries Libra Axis, and themes and questions about our individual autonomy and relationship harmony are now up for consideration. We first began this cycle of the Aries Libra eclipse in April 2023, where the initial questions were set for exploration. This axis theme has had us confronting issues around self-reliance and asserting our individuality. However, now we explore the opposite side and navigate how we dance between ourselves and the other, how we balance our need for autonomy with a need to connect.

With a trine from Pluto in Aquarius, this particular eclipse offers a potent blend of emotional intensity, transformation and possible evolution both personally and collectively.

This eclipse is a time to ponder a myriad of questions about the themes of relationships in our lives, not only our intimate relationships but all relationships where the ‘other’ is reflecting back to us lessons and themes we are encouraged to face about ourselves. Relationships can be hard, and being in them or not being in them can also be hard. Therefore, in my Libra Full Moon Workbook, I have devised 30 questions to help you reflect on the themes of relationships in your life.

The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs on the 25th of March at 6.00pm Australian Eastern Time and will occur at 5 degrees of Libra. So look to see where you have between 0-10 degrees of Libra or indeed any of the planets in the Cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn as this is where the alchemy of personal evolution unfolds.

During a lunar eclipse, we are encouraged to embrace what unfolds. This is a time of accepting rather than resisting whatever revelations come to us now. Rather than pushing against this tide of energy, this is a time for absorbing and reflecting on how we can harness what comes to us now. Even if the events now may not initially feel welcomed, the point with eclipses is that when significant events occur, they are pushing us toward what we need in our evolutionary journey. Sit with it as themes that arise are now are designed to push us out of stagnant patterns and toward forward momentum. If the eclipse reveals aspects of our lives that no longer serve us, rather than resist, it is best to release them and move forward gracefully

With the Full Moon in Libra opposite the Sun in Aries, the most significant themes now will occur around themes that directly relate to the energies of these signs: relationships and our individuality. With the Fu.ll Moon in Libra, ruled by Venus, the planet associated with love and beauty, we might be prompted to connect with what brings us genuine joy especially in joy in our relationships with others. We can question and reflect on whether we are experiencing genuine heart connections and honest communication. Libra is all about connection and, indeed, getting to know more about ourselves via our relationship with one another. But for Libra energy to work at its best, the relationship must reflect back with love and acceptance and a willingness to understand and support one another. This is a time to consider where the scales may be tipped too far on one side.

We many need to question relationships that could  hinder our growth and evolution. This is very much a  time to consider what circumstances, actions, barriers or questions around relationships, relating and connecting with others might be keeping us from reaching our highest potential

Libra energy can be too strongly geared toward people pleasing, toward finding peace at any cost and therefore suppressing our real needs or speaking our truths. So this is a period in which we can consider how we may have been suppressing or holding back what needs to be said. How far are we going in our attempts to keep the peace and are we losing ourselves in the process?

We can also consider how much we may be absorbing or taking on the energy of others we are in close relationship with. We all become affected by the energy of those around us, but there can be periods in which we take on too much, once again perhaps suppressing our own energy, which can very much affect us on many levels. In Libra, we learn to connect, to relate, but it needs to be a fair exchange of energy. This eclipse may have us more readily recognising where energy exchange is out of balance. Taking a lesson from Aries, we are encouraged to establish healthy boundaries to safeguard our energy from becoming too aligned with another's energy. We need to learn to recognise and honour our own energy to protect it without isolating ourselves from valuable connections.

This eclipse serves as an opportunity to evaluate all our relationships and the boundaries within them. As you navigate this eclipse, centre yourself and acknowledge your completeness independent of others. Reflect on your relationships—are they nurturing or draining? Where do adjustments or firmer boundaries need to be established? Relationships evolve, and what once worked may now require attention.

Aries, the opposite sign to Libra offers us many valuable lessons to connect with our inner truth and evaluate our personal needs from those of others. This is an opportunity to consider how our relationships contribute to our lives and where compromises may be necessary without compromising our authentic selves. Libra seeks balance and balance is best achieved when both parties can maintain their individuality whilst supporting and honouring the individuality in the other as well.

This is not always easy to achieve, however, and therefore, we can spend some time during this eclipse thinking about what needs in us are not being met and, indeed, what needs we have in a relationships that is non-negotiable. At the same time it is also important to consider where and how we could possibly be putting too much emphasis on some of our personal needs and where we could possibly need to adjust or learn to compromise more. This is a time to assess which relationships may need adjustment or release around these themes.

Are we holding onto resentments? Are there aspects in our relationship with others that could use a good dose of forgiveness? What needs healing? Relationships require nurturing of ourselves, the other, and the dynamics of the relationship itself. This eclipse offers opportunity for forgiveness and healing but equally might also pave the way for recognising where things have passed a point of no return, where the relationship may have reached a natural conclusion.

Love can be painful, and all of us, at some time or another, have wanted to protect our hearts; this is only natural. However, this might be a question now to ask ourselves: how far are we going in protecting our hearts? What barriers are we placing up that may prevent love from coming in? With the Sun in Aries, we are encouraged to face these questions bravely and expand our hearts to enable more profound interactions with others. What might you still need to forgive about yourself or, indeed, from a past relationship that can help you open your heart to receiving new love?

This eclipse involves the energies of both Aries and Libra, representing opposing forces. Aries urges boldness, self-reliance, and decisive action, emphasising the power to overcome obstacles. Conversely, Libra emphasises inner peace, harmony, and the importance of shared experiences. Aries needs to learn to let others in, to act in service for the self and in relation to the other. Meanwhile, Libra has to learn to become more independent and stand on their own two feet.

During this eclipse, Pluto, our planet of transformation, is harmoniously positioned with the Moon and the Sun. This offers us a wonderful opportunity to revisit past wounds, pain, themes, and limiting beliefs about relationships and to reflect on what we can learn, heal, and release, which in turn will bring us a chance to reclaim personal power.

In a similar vein, Pluto's presence during this eclipse may also offer us more clarity and truth around the realities of relationships that are not serving us productively. PLutos presence is a wonderful tool for reassessing and even finding the courage to let go of relationships that are hindering our personal growth.

Aries Season meets Eclipse Season- Balancing Bold Beginnings.

Get ready to embrace the whirlwind of Aries Season 2024! Happy New Astrological Year, Happy Vernal Equinox, and welcome to the onset of eclipse season, topped off with Mercury also going retrograde this season.

This, my friends, is shaping up to be quite the Aries Season.

Personally, I've increasingly found solace in aligning the transition of the Sun into Aries as my energetic New Year. After a few months since the traditional January 1st New Year, this is an energetic time for reviewing how we are travelling and consciously activating what we aim to manifest for the rest of the year. The cycle's closing during the past Pisces Season has brought us full circle, where we were offered a serene backdrop for daydreaming, reflection, and those sky-blue dreams. But now, as we step into Aries Season, it's time to ignite action.

However, don't expect the usual fiery fervour of Aries to hit you like a bolt of lightning this season. As we make this transition, the Sun's proximity to Neptune invites us to linger a little longer in the realm of imaginative play or perhaps feeling a tad foggy. Meanwhile, Venus and Saturn are still  in Pisces, with Mars, the ruler of Aries, poised to join them shortly. These planetary alignments soften this Aries energy a little and also take on added significance as we brace ourselves for eclipse season, spanning the Libra-Aries axis, which, of course, is ruled by Venus and Mars. Mars will stay in Pisces for this Libra Season and Venus will move from Pisces into Aries in a few weeks.

The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Libra on the 25th sets the stage for reflection and release around themes of relationship—with both the self and others. It's an opportune moment to shed layers of dependence and co-dependency, liberating ourselves from the need for external validation. This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is then followed by the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries on April 9th, a powerful catalyst for new beginnings and self-assertion.

On a side note, I'm thrilled to extend a special invitation to join me for an online seminar where I will be talking about Jupiter's move into Gemini. Hosted by the Organisation of Professional Astrologers in Australia, we have me alongside three esteemed Australian astrologers, and we'll delve into the rest of the major changes for 2024. I will be personally talking about Jupiter’s ingress into Gemini, which is set to have profound effects on the collective and especially for our mutable signs. You will get so much from this seminar, whether you're a seasoned astrologer or simply a curious enthusiast. Only $15.00 to register and you can watch live, or later…even better consider becoming a member of OPA. Your support and presence would mean the world to us.

****************************

The Sun moves into Aries on March 20th Australian Eastern Daylight Saving time at 1.14pm. The Suns shift into Aires also marks the Vernal Equinox. On this day we have equal light and equal dark, making it a poignant time to contemplate balance, which indeed is really the whole theme for this Aries Season. Here, in the Southern Hemisphere, as the days begin to shorten, we bid adieu to the extended daylight, while our counterparts in the Northern Hemisphere revel in the lengthening days.

On the 22nd of March, Mars, the ruling planet of Aries, moves into dreamy Pisces, infusing our actions with a touch of compassion and a hint of idealism. Mars in Pisces may infuse the typically assertive and action-oriented Aries energy with a more compassionate and introspective approach, potentially softening the usual aggression and encouraging a more nuanced approach to pursuing goals. Our energy levels might also fluctuate, mirroring the ebb and flow of Piscean tides, and our focus might turn towards serving others rather than solely pursuing our own ambitions. This gentle influence of Mars in Pisces is quite significant especially as the ruling planet of this eclipse season.

On March 25th, the spotlight falls on the scales of Libra as we experience a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 5 degrees of Libra. So look to see where 5 degrees of Libra is in your chart as this is the area of life that this eclipse will activate.

Just we have been navigating the impact of the eclipse we then have Mercury turning retrograde on April 2nd. Mercury will be in Aries as it sojourns through its retrograde period and being in Aries rather than launching boldly into new endeavours, especially ones that centre around communication or messaging, it’s a time for review, reflection and perhaps even renegotiation in our relationships, given the overarching themes of this season. Patience and adaptability will be required of us now as Mercury will stay retrograde until April 25th 

Venus, the ruler of Libra, slips into its opposite sign of Aries on April 5th. This move might add a more passionate fuel to our relationships now, but also re emphasises the strong themes of this eclipse season, those focusing on how we relate, how we merge with another, where we may give too much of ourselves or not enough. Venus in Aries in this eclipse mix will help to stir up these themes just in time for the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries on April 9th.

With the Sun, Moon and Venus in Aries during this eclipse, the energy is ripe for exploring new beginnings and opportunities in both our personal growth and in how we ‘show up’ in relationship to another. This is a time of allowing ourselves to take on some bold initiative and courageous leaps of faith particularly around themes of how we assert and express ourselves, how we express and embrace our individuality and pursue our passions. There will be much more about the eclipses in upcoming posts.

So hold in we are in for quite a ride this Aries Season, a lot of energy, a lot of change but like all they ask is that we be prepared to let something go, that we surrender to being open to self-reflection in the areas activated by these Cardinal signs, that we allow ourselves to move forward rather than holding ourselves back, that we need to release and move in the direction the universe wants us to go in.  

Pisces New Moon: Dreaming into a New Dawn

I’ve been thinking a lot about Pisces lately. As Saturn in Pisces sits gracefully on my Pisces ascendant, I am deeply reminded of what it is to be blessed with the mutable water energy of this last sign of the zodiac.

The profound essence of Pisces is like a mystical beacon that beckons deep contemplation. I have been struck by the Pisces ethereal power to attract, draw in energy and weave a magic web of interconnectedness. Pisces is like a cosmic sponge, yet if not nurtured carefully and, if allowed to flow without boundaries, we can become burdened by the psychic weight of external influences, leaving us either confused or drained for having unconsciously chosen to carry others' energy. The Pisces symbol of the fish swimming in opposite directions reminds us that this energy can either flow upstream or downstream or, in its mutability, attempt to do both.

However, amongst this duality lies a deep Pisces truth: Pisces, the harmoniser, possesses the profound ability to bring kindred souls together to share in Pisces' deep resonance.

Having just embarked on the journey of teaching my 10-week astrology course, I am amazed by the Pisces orchestration to bring to the class every student, bar one, encompassing a Pisces Moon Sign or Ascendant, myself included. I choose not to see this as a coincidence but a very Piscean serendipitous cosmic alignment. Together we are traversing the current Pisces themes with the inclusion of Saturn and Neptune in Pisces and now the joining of the Sun and Moon in this sign, by a collective desire to bring Saturnian structure to our cosmic understanding of the universe by diving together into the depths of astrology. It was a truly magical moment to realise the profundity of this communion of learning and growth, and I have not stopped thinking about Pisces energy since.

With the enchanting influence of Pisces magic, an extraordinary opportunity has unfolded before me. I have been graciously invited to join three of Australia's most esteemed astrologers for a captivating discussion on the energies shaping the remainder of 2024.

Three years ago, I sat in awe in my living room, watching on zoom enraptured by the professionalism, depth of insight, and wisdom emanating from these astrologers. It feels surreal to find myself in their company now, to step into the spotlight as Saturn in Pisces graces my ascendant—a manifestation of a long-held dream.

Admittedly, there's a flutter of nerves within me, but I recognise this as a call from Saturn to embrace challenges and step boldly into the realm of possibilities. Therefore, I extend to you an invitation to join us—to witness these brilliant astrologers delve into Pluto's profound invitation in Aquarius, experience the enchantment of Neptune's final dance in Pisces, unravel the mysteries of the Venus Star point, and explore the transformative potential of Jupiter's ingress into Gemini (presented by yours truly).

The New Moon in Pisces occurs on the 10th of March at 9.00pm Australian Eastern Daylight Time. The Sun and the Moon join up at 20 degrees of Pisces. This New Moon will weave its most significant potential anywhere you may have the mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces and especially any planets sitting at 20 degrees in these signs. This is a potent, equally magical, and grounded New Moon with the conjunction of the Sun and Moon to rule planet Neptune and have Saturn well ensconced into Pisces.

Standing on the threshold of the New Moon in Pisces, we find ourselves at the culmination of a cosmic cycle—a moment of profound transition and reflection. As the final sign of the zodiac, Pisces invites us to surrender to the ebb and flow of life, to release the old and make way for the new. We are in the liminal space between Pisces and the new beginning in Aries, so we are granted the opportunity to pause, reflect, and imagine what we may like to bring forth in our lives, particularly in areas governed by the realms of Pisces energy.

With Saturn also in Pisces, we can bring our dreams into reality. With Neptune in the mix, this is the time to set our imaginations free, to the blue sky, to dream and connect to all beyond the material plane.

As the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces, at its most evolved and elevated essence is all about finding within us absolute trust and surrender- a surrender that invites us to let go of control, and allow ourselves to flow and be open to profound trust and faith in the universe. Pisces is about that connection with ALL, with everything. Pisces is the knowing that flows from the depths of our being, reminding us that we are a part of a greater whole.

Pisces energy transcends boundaries of time and space; it unites and connects us all, and Pisces love is that pure love for the wonderment of everything. It is all-encompassing love of the boundless mysteries of the universe and the infinite possibilities that lie beyond our logical understanding.

Sounds great, hey, but Pisces is a dual sign, a dual stream of consciousness, of understanding and a dual journey.

Before we can really understand the pinnacle of the Piscean beauty, we must first journey through the depths of our being, where we can encounter murky waters of confusion, illusion, disorder and inner turmoil; this is the shadow and a very real side of Pisces that goes hand in hand with this deeply feeling energy. It can be challenging to traverse material existence when our souls seek something more and feel overwhelmed by emotions and energy around us. Pisces's dual curse and gift is that we often don’t seek solace or surrender in the universe until we have travelled through the dark night of the soul. But it is precisely the journey through the dark that hopefully leads to being eventually able to surrender to the universe, to relinquish control and embrace the true Piscean llove and re-emerge with profound insight and clarity.

I say all this as these themes I feel are the essence behind the energy of this New Moon period, we have the opportunity to embrace the most nuanced spiritual, ethereal , mystical and imaginative Pisces energy with Neptune, the ruler of Pisces conjunct the Sun and the Moon or we could find ourselves swimming in a sea of emotional confusion, delusion and turmoil.

It is really important now to bring awareness and consciousness to this New Moon energy, where our sensitivities could be enhanced and we may become more receptive to subtle energies.

Currently all our planets are in a forward motion and we are also heading into Eclipse season shortly. In the sign of Pisces, we are moving away from the more stern yet grounding influence of Saturn and towards Neptune, where we may need to consider how we find a balance between our spiritual aspirations and our early responsibilities or, indeed, use this time to set the intention to integrate them. Having passed Saturn’s influence, we can bring with us lessons of discipline and responsibility and set intentions around how to incorporate these themes more directly into the areas in life that Pisces and Neptune influence, such as our spirituality, imagination and creative pursuits.

The New Moon also makes a harmonious connection with Uranus, offering us the opportunity to bring change, innovation, and new elements into the mix. Combined, these energies offer us the chance to set intentions in areas of life where we wish to break free of old ways and learn to infuse fresh perspectives in setting intentions that resonate deeply with our hearts and emotions. This is a time for setting intentions toward our emotional and spiritual progress in our lives.

Finding quiet time might be very important during this New Moon as we will need time and space for introspection and rest to delve into our imaginations, meditations and connections with our higher selves. Try to stay away from people whose energies are not conducive to peace in your life, this should be a time of restful solace, to sleep, daydream, lie in a bath and allow yourself to float both physically and metaphorically.

Unravel the enigmatic tapestry of Piscean energy and its influence in your life through a personalised chart reading. 

Delve deep into the mysteries of your astrological blueprint to uncover how Pisces' ethereal magic or bewildering confusion manifests in your unique journey.

With Saturn traversing through the watery realms of Pisces, now is the opportune moment to gain insight into the profound lessons and challenges it presents. You can explore how this cosmic alignment is shaping your path and discover how to navigate its currents with wisdom and grace.
