Blue Moon - Full Moon In Libra

Key words for the next few weeks are "INTERPRETATION & BALANCE"

Speaking up and defining yourself in relationships as we move into Aries is highlighted during this cycle BUT listening and trying to overcome your own issues surrounding communication with others should also be focused on. This Sun-Moon alignment can create a fair-minded outlook, enabling us to move ahead with confidence, steadfast in self-acceptance, with the ability to make sure everyone’s emotional needs are met. Symbolically, this means we have to deal with some tense feelings, then try to define/interpret their meaning for us before we arrive at a new understanding of how we tick/what we need in our relationships with others. This is especially important for this Libra Full Moon, because the upcoming new Moon in Aries is the real beginning of the astrological year.

Avoiding conflict is unavoidable right now so speak up for yourself - and learn from the experience.

You can't change anything if you don't know who you are. The next few weeks try taking a closer look at yourself and the way you behave in all your relationships.

Full Moon In Virgo

Today is the first full moon in the Chinese New Year (year of the Metal Tiger). The full moon is in Virgo which highlights acts of service - if you have the opportunity to help someone or volunteer take it. The Moon in Virgo also reminds us of the importance of letting go - in the Buddhist sense - to stop clinging to negative patterns, or to people or thoughts that don't serve you. If you have been feeling like a pot about to boil over relax - breathe and just let go of whatever it was that is getting you so steamed. On the lighter side of things decisions you make today about spending money are likely to be good ones - so if you need to shop today is a good day to do it. Astrogrrl has this to say about it.

"Full moons signify the completion, culmination of what may have been initiated during the previous New Moon in Aquarius which encouraged us to break away, get unstuck and establish a new "norm". During the New Moon phase Neptune and Chiron finally perfected their long awaited conjunction. Their conjunction remain strong and influential for this Full Moon in Virgo.

This full moon occurs at 10 degrees of Virgo and opposes Jupiter while the Sun blends energies with Jupiter. The heart (Moon) may still be meticulously processing (Virgo) what might have transpired over the past two weeks, but the soul (Sun) has begun to hope and dream of the possibilities(Jupiter). In light of the healing/release (Neptune-Chiron conjunction) that's occurred and continuing to work with us, there is now a "newer", improved (or on the mend to become an improved) version of the self with room to rebuild and continue becoming. Elsewhere in the sky, Venus(love/money) grows closer to giving Uranus (surprises/unconventional) a great, big kiss. Expect the unexpected, especially with regards to relationships or finances. Be open to applying unique solutions to common issues or finding just what you need in the most unlikely places."

Full Moon In Taurus

Frosty Moon, Mouring Moon, Beaver Moon
Feeling a little tense/agitated today? Look to the sky - it may have a something to do with the full moon - in Taurus (noon today in North America 11:14 PST).

The Taurus Full Moon occurs when the Moon in Taurus opposes the Sun in Scorpio, creating a 180 degree angle and a tension between the conscious mind (Sun) and the emotional instinctive reactions (Moon).

This full Moon has a grand cross that engages all the fixed signs, and that can bring on a sense of trying of internal struggle. A grand cross is a cosmic wrestling hold, and eventually something has to give.

If you perceive an attitude of antagonism coming from others, it’s a sign that you yourself may need to find another way to express yourself. Defense mechanisms aren’t going to be tolerated by too many folks this week, so word to the wise: take responsibility for yourself and save the excuses.

According to Mystic Medusa (http://mysticmedusa.com/2009/11/02/full-moon-weirding)

"The Full Moon in Taurus could be Tranquility Central, an oasis of Zen Noire amidst the Scorping…You know? Taurus Moons are always good times for being Sensual & Grounded. It is the massage Moon. BUT…This one is squared Mars in Leo and opposed by Sun/Mercury in Scorpio. And, due to the Sun-Mercury conjunction after the Moon, the whole thing becomes one of those extended Full Moons…With the drama or intensity stretching out to encompass Monday AND Tuesday. So I am declaring all Monday and all Tuesday as days of Full Moon weirding and that’s regardless of where you are on this beautiful orb of hours.

Stay as Zen Noire as poss. Don’t provoke fights. Don’t go asking for favours. Don’t indulge your own stalkery or lower instincts. Use every trick in the book to keep out of merde. Personally; I am just getting on with my tasks, trying to eat well and employing basic evasive tactics. Professionalism & being at one with your bod is always a good move with this sort of energy…If you expect that ornery peeps will be blasting off with the usual bullshit, than you are at least prepped. Ask for what thy want and chase things up later in the week. Aim not to over-react. Think: Aura of white light all around you…

IF you can do the Zen Noire professionalism and some kind of tranquil, totally in-your-body-Taurean trip than you will be rewarded with massive awareness, solutions, creative breakthroughs and transcendental bliss.
