We'll be experiencing the Full Moon in Libra @ 26 degrees on the 16th of April 2022.

As this particular Lunar Cycle has a significant influence by the planet Venus, it brings our value systems to the surface for reflection and evaluation. The Venusian influence is prominent with the Moon in Libra and Mercury, Uranus and the North Node in Taurus.

This energy will be most potent at the time of this Full Moon (18:54 BST) but will be playing out significantly over the next fortnight and beyond, setting the foundations for generations to come.

By looking into your personal house and planetary placements around Libra, Pisces, Taurus and Aquarius, we can gain deeper insight and context towards setting intentions moving forward.

WHAT IS
THE COSMIC INFLUENCE
PLAY BY PLAY?

This Full Moon presents us with an interesting combination of potential adversity and also the opportunity for extreme abundance.
This can feel like an uncomfortable process of balancing the cheque books of current, collective reality and the pursuit of our individual dreams. Despite the burdens or limitations, this Full Moon also reminds us that hope is not lost, only misplaced.

The tension we experience during our processes between powerful societal, hierarchal and established systems (Pluto in Capricorn), the ways we express our persona and sense of agency (Sun in Aries) and our emotional response to our values in this lifetime (Moon in Libra) will be coming to the forefront with this aspect known as the T-Square.

A T-Square in Astrology is a geometric pattern between three celestial bodies or points in an astrological chart which looks like an equilateral triangle. This triangle is formed of an opposition plus two squares and is known for creating tense, challenging energy.
This can present itself as obstacles, frustration, limitation and even as a crises, represented by the celestial bodies or points in a chart.

Like any challenge, in order to survive and adapt we try to hone the necessary skills and resources in order to maintain, move through and, if harnessed appropriately, potentially even achieve great success as a result of such friction or adversity.

The Full Moon trine Saturn can provide us with the patience and strength to handle the challenges presented by aligning our values with our personal ‘tried and true’ coping methods. This transit strengthens our instincts which can help us to make important decisions. It also encourages us to seek advice from a wise source such as an elder or psychologist//therapist that can impart learned wisdom for the generations to come.

The Sun and Mars sextile to Saturn also gives us the patience, perseverance and drive to confront our adversity head on. It can inspire the leadership qualities within us in a methodical way as it creates a cocktail of attention to detail with passion and zest. This celestial liquid courage can help us to create solid progress towards our long-term goals and attract those who resonate with our values and vision for the future.

Venus sextile Uranus and Mercury can inject the excitement of the mystical or synchronistic to our mundane ways of thinking, social life and values. It encourages us to innovate, create and express ourselves which can lead to breakthroughs in our creativity, social circles and ways of thinking.

As we re-focus and express our values, we create the space to resolve any conflicts which no longer align with the direction we individually desire through a collective context. This transit encourages us to connect with others that share our ethos, to strengthen bonds and innovate our ideas.

In spite of any frustration, we are also stimulated, dare I say, even excited to reinvigorate our interactions and daily routines. Our mind and minds eye, wide open, allows us to perceive the insights and breakthroughs to see the light of solution. It can inspire a greater grasp of abstract and technical concepts through unexpected, exciting or unusual means. These insights can come from something we experience, read, overhear or naturally arise as we converse with others.

The Pisces stellium comprised of Mars, Venus, Neptune and Jupiter can provide a strong basis towards the more mystical, compassionate and idealistic traits. When this energy is harnessed in its empowered traits, the ability to manifest our deepest dreams and ideals can very much become a reality with this cosmic configuration.

However, like anything, when some of the shadow or disempowering traits are expressed, it is wise to be mindful of wearing rose-tinted glasses or bypassing to a point where we are stuck in a fantasy with no basis in reality. The solution to navigating this energy is to support and implement practical tools into our daily lives and routines, leaning into discernment towards ourselves and others.

Pluto’s trine to the North Node will also amplify some of the energy of strength, determination and drive to develop the power towards our destiny - almost obsessively so. This energy can inspire us to, or rather, compel us to empower ourselves through our search for personal truth. How this manifests depends on the individual, like anything it can be used for collective//personal empowerment or by purely selfish and manipulative means.

This is an excellent time for creating personal rituals related to our values that empower our connection to ourselves and one another.

Some suggestions could be around cooking, exercise, skincare, sharing common interests through socialising with others or through journalling & sharing ideas.

I pulled some cards and created some additional journal prompts to further contemplate navigating these energies, so you can check that out below or book a bespoke reading with me here.

• Checking in with yourself, what is your body and mind communicating to you?
  Is there tension, sadness, happiness or pain? Explore what these sensations are communicating to you.
  
  

• How is your communication with the collective, outer world?
  Reflect on the language used: are these words kind, wise, critical or disillusioned?
  
  

• Take a moment to reflect on the idea of realisation:
  What are some of the realisations you have had about yourself, the world and your potential?
  
  

• Drawing from the realisations above, what would you like to accomplish moving forward?
  Outline and describe in as much detail as possible how you’d like these realisations to become a reality.
  Doodle, describe and visualise down to the daintiest of details to create the bigger picture.
  
  

• What do you consider magical in your everyday life?
  Magic by definition is the influential power from unseen or mystical sources.
  Reflect on how nature and our bodies operate, how food or clothes are made - outline the magic experienced in the mundane.
  
  

• What are the ways you can infuse magic into your everyday?
  Have a think about any dreams, goals, intentions or ideals you’d like to execute.
  What everyday ways can you base your intentions in to infuse magic and work towards your goals?
  This could be as simple as affirmations while making coffee, visualisations in the shower, meal prepping - there is no right or wrong - execute on what feels best for you.
  
  

• Outline and describe your values:
  Have a think about where these values come from and what these ideas are rooted in. Does it come from a place or connection or protection?
  Have these values changed over time?
  
  

• Now reflect on how these values align and are executed in our personal lives:
  Is it easy to stay true to our values? Have you connected with like-minds who share these values?
  Do these values provide grounding and facilitate care towards yourself, others and the environment?
  
  

• Answering honestly, what is your current perception towards current reality?
  Spend a few minutes connecting to this space, becoming aware of any thoughts, sensations or feelings.
  Don’t hold back or fear your feelings, allow the full spectrum of any bias or contradictions to be listed without self-judgement.
  
  

• How willing are you to try something new and outside of your comfort zone?
  What is your current comfort zone and what would be outside your current definition of this personal space? What thoughts, feelings or sensations arise?
  Taking a deep breath, observe how your perception of reality shifts when focusing from the outer and inner worlds.
  
  

• What transitions have you undergone in life?
  Have these transitions flowed with ease or has there been resistance towards this process?
  Outline and reflect on the transitions experienced, how they make you feel and what has happened as a result.
  
  

• How can you celebrate and honour your transitions?
  What gifts or wisdom have these transitions given to you? What can you use towards this next process of transition?
  What are the things you can release in order to generate new life?
  Life is a constant cycle of death and rebirth, how can you mark and honour that process today?
