Full Moon in Libra
Full Moons can make us feel more emotional than usual. This Moon will make us feel a stronger connection to anyone who supports us and makes us feel good- anyone who doesn’t will make us feel out of balance. We will be extra focused on the people in our lives. Relationships and partnerships are the focus now.
This Full Moon is in the sign of Libra which means it will bring light to wherever we are stuck in our relationships, to review and release it in order to move forward. Libra will always try to bring balance to our partnerships and relationships and ‘compromise’ is the keyword to the theme of this Moon. We should focus on how we relate to the outside world through our relationships and partnerships. This Full Moon will illuminate, reveal, supercharge, awaken and revive anything that needs attention in how we relate to the close people in our lives. It reminds us to ground and center ourselves, to return to a clean slate to bring things into balance so we can start over. We must turn inward first to balance the self.
This Full Moon will shed light onto our relationships, highlighting where there is imbalance in our relationships involving love and support. We have been trying to find balance in our lives. Now we are being shown where things may be unbalanced or where we are giving more of our energy than others so that we can make changes within ourselves so that we feel more aligned. This Full Moon is about finding balance with others and our relationships. In order to achieve this we must first learn to love ourselves and realize our self-worth. Ask yourself where you can love yourself more. And ask where you may be giving too much of yourself in relationships. This Full Moon will shed light on what needs to be fixed and what should be released.
There will be a lot of new information coming to the surface now to be illuminated to bring us clarity. We are being asked to take a good, long look at what we did or felt in the past- beliefs, feelings, money are all Libran themes- in order to make improvements for the future. Libra highlights partnerships so this is a wonderful time to collaborate with like minded people.
This Moon is aspected to Uranus which could bring startling illumination or information about our relationships. An aspect with Jupiter brings the energy of compromise to all.

Aries is ruled by the planet Mars. Mars is the warrior archetype. This is a fiery, potent source that brings the energy to start something new.

Mercury Retrograde in Taurus
Mercury Retrograde
Mercury, the planet of communication goes into retrograde in the sign of Taurus
This is the first of four Mercury Retrograde periods this year. This is the first of three in Earth signs. Taurus is the sign of assets, money and how we find our security. Taurus likes to take its time, move slowly and think about the things. Take the time to think before you speak. Taurus deals with issues of security - homes, mortgages, banks, trade - this is not a good time to purchase a new home or property. If you must, triple check all related documents.
Uranus, the planet of disruption, is now in aspect to Mercury retrograde. This can affect finances and material resources. This can be a frustrating , stressful time. Make sure to get adequate rest so you can recharge. Remember Taurus is never in a hurry.
Retrogrades are a time to pause so we can reflect, remember, revisit, release, re-do.
Double check emails, proofread everything before you hit send, backup your files, have patience, and call on Archangel Michael to help with electronics.
This is not the time to buy new equipment, start new projects or sign contracts.
This is the time to open your mind to new ways of thinking by allowing the awakening to organically happen to free yourself of the old ways of thinking.
April 28
Moon Square Mercury Retrograde
This will bring about moodiness in our communications! Watch your words!
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
