Hello dear First name / one,
 

I hope that these last couple weeks have served you well. While the moon is waxing it can feel like things are gaining speed; like more is happening, changing and growing. A stark difference from the beginning of the month that had us sloshing through a Neptunian fog up through the Pisces New Moon.

My sixth house (service, the body, occupation, and wellbeing) is in Pisces. So for me, this month looked like revisiting old shadows around my personal security that I thought I had overcome years ago. Since the moon has been waxing, these have been replaced with a new calm and an embodied confidence in my capabilities. I may not have all the answers, but I can keep my head above water no matter how strong the current. 

Last weekend, the sun moved into Aries restarting the zodiac year, and the Northern hemisphere had its vernal equinox to signify the beginning of spring. While we may not have immediately felt that spark of fresh energy, that ignition of our inner flame, it certainly feels like we’ve rounded a corner and have come up and out of the undertow.

Today's full moon in Libra (11:18am PST) bears some lovely gifts in the form of lessons around partnership. Venus is in Aries (think hot and heavy new love), but she is also opposite the moon which can make us feel a deeper need for comfort. We may want to latch onto a new love, or supplant whatever lack we feel with another indulgence. Chiron, who shows us our wounds and how to heal them, is also in Aries and this can bring up some old scars around relationships, romantic or platonic. 

However, Saturn forms a trine with the moon and a sextile with Venus and Chiron, giving us the opportunity to resolve these issues and learn the lessons from old hurts. It’s a time to ask your ancestors for guidance, consult an elder, or look to traditional values for solutions. And, as the moon will now be waning, to release old relationship patterns and dynamics that no longer serve you.

What old wounds need to be addressed before moving forward this spring?

If you’d like to get clear on how this affects your personal chart, I suggest booking a Counsel session to learn more about your Saturn, Venus and Chiron placements.

Where I’m from this full moon is known as the Sugar Moon due to the sap oozing from trees during this season, but it is also known as the Worm Moon for those lovely annelids that attract the birds back to our gardens and process our soil to prepare it for planting and nurturing seedlings.

This weekend, the sun is in Gate 17: The Gate of Opinions, which also happens to correspond to the right eye. This is a gate about understanding the dynamics of power in relationships. It serves one to understand balance. A good thing to keep in mind while you examine your relationship dynamics with others. A good leader always knows how to serve, and opinions are best when based on the understanding of others.

I can tell you that I am looking forward to this Aries season with an open mind. There are some new things in the works over here at Honored Body, and some major changes on the horizon. I'm thrilled that I get to do what I do, but it wouldn't be possible without y'all. ♥️

I'll be peeling back the curtain a little more in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out!

I'm always happy to connect, and I hope that this resonated with you. If it did and you want to share the Moonsletter with others, feel free to pass it along! And if you're reading this and you haven't signed up, join here!
