Hello cosmic cuties,
Eclipse season is back with our Saturday New Moon. Ease back on lunar rituals and let fate take the wheel for a bit.
Remember, my birth chart reading and services change this month *cough* at the start of Scorpio season *cough* — be sure to book my current offering to lock in this price and reading style.
And stay tuned, for some new in-person readings over the comings months in Olympia. If you like vintage clothes & woo-woo things, you probably know the spot I’ll be reading out of.
Cosmic forecast
Our Libra season New Moon is set against a lot — making it particularly poignant, revealing and intense. Leading up to the New Moon we saw some planetary shifts and tangos.
On Sunday, Venus entered Virgo. During this time, the planet of relationships and values becomes more practical and intentional. Invest in devoted acts of love to yourself, others and the world over the following four weeks.
As Venus enters Virgo, it goes opposite Saturn. This will likely reveal lessons you need to learn about how you show up relationships or live out your values — remember these for the New Moon on Saturday. Alongside these revelations, comes feelings of insecurity or disregulation through the end of today.
Then on the 12th, Mars enters Scorpio. At home in Scorpio, this transit brings us the passion and drive to explore our depths. It can be a time that feels unstable for those who aren’t used to the transformational nature of Scorpio placements. Be curious, ride the emotional wave and see where these next six weeks take you.
Unsure what needs to transform? The cosmos has your back. Mars is square Pluto, allowing your true desires to surface and take root in reality. Mars is also trine Saturn, providing you the energetic boost and perseverance you need to transform.
On Saturday the 14th at 10:55 a.m. pacific time, we have our Eclipse in Libra. In one sentence this New Moon asks you to embrace a fresh start that truly honors your values.
But it’s much bigger than that. The backdrop of this Eclipse is the Sun and Moon making aspects with several planets.
The Sun and Moon are both conjunct Mercury. Our Eclipse planets sitting next to the planet of communication and intellect. Then opposite these three we have Chiron, our wounded healer.
All this together illuminates our core wounds. With all this happening in the sign of Libra, you may find yourself questioning your worth or ruminating on relationships. Breathe and instead ask yourself if you’re living in accordance with your values?
Remember, Eclipses aren’t the time for answers. As much as they reveal, they also obscure. Allow your realizations to work themselves out over the coming months — remember, the story of an Eclipse New Moon takes about six months to untangle itself.
In April we kicked off this eclipse series on the Aries/Libra axis with an Aries New Moon. Book a mini-reading to learn what areas of life will get activated during this eclipse story.
No Personal Musings this week. Need some extra guidance on processing this New Moon? Eclipse readings are ahead, you’re welcome
