Full Moon in Libra March 28th-April 3rd, 2021

Sunday: The Moon is Full in Libra at 2:48 pm EST. This Full Moon highlights love, couples, and partnership, along with fairness and compromise. Venus is across from the Moon, encouraging harmony, romance, and willingness to really hear each other and be equal, contributing partners. Relationship related announcements are likely. Decisions and commitments made finally be made with input from and consideration of significant others as the Moon aligns with Saturn. Find balance between 'me' and 'we' without going too far in either direction. Focus on what's accomplished and fully realized together. If this doesn't seem to apply, honor and respect the rights of others to intertwine their lives and decisions. This is a Full Moon of mutual respect. Anything that goes against that will come up for strong re-evaluation and restructuring. Today's color is White. 

Monday: Libra Moon in harmony with Mars in Gemini and Jupiter in Aquarius means using out intelligence to navigate the tail end of Full Moon time. Do your research. Sort through ideas. Get a group together to forward a plan. This is a time for getting together, cooperating and sharing useful information or plans. With a lot swirling in your mind, don't forget to move and take care of your body. Dance and be expressive. Shake too much thinking off and out with movement. Libra is a sign of music and dance. Mars in Gemini is expressive with the hands and arms. With Moon and these planets in the sign of air, also take time to focus on your breath. Add short meditations and stretch breaks to break up mental intensity. Void Moon at 8:08 pm EST until 1:33 am. Wear Lavender.

Tuesday: Scorpio Moon adds weight to whatever is coming up now. The Moon and Uranus have their monthly opposition. It can be shaky or feel like rough terrain. The Moon is waning and in some cases, there could be a crumbling type fallout. What may be scrapped or destroyed can re-emerge in new form when it's time. Give yourself time if this is the case. This may be a day of letting go, while trying still to hold on tightly. Notice intuitive insights surrounding any of this. Venus meets Saturn in Aries, and this part of the outlook is more about committing to beginnings. These beginnings are serious and may feel like carving out a path no one has traveled before (even if that's not entirely true, it may feel that way). The Moon also squares Saturn. Today may feel like climbing a mountain, exerting much effort. Take breaks. Know when enough has been done. Wear Indigo. 

Wednesday: Scorpio Moon aligns with Neptune in Pisces, softening into emotions and feelings after yesterday's effort or seriousness. Invite more ease and notice ways that becomes available. Jupiter is square to the Moon for team efforts in designing something that requires problem solving or inventing. Mercury in harmony with the Moon helps us communicate well and take an understanding or compassionate approach. The Sun aligns with Saturn for getting things decided and started. Void Moon 8:29 pm EST as the Moon aligns with Pluto initiating voc time. This lends to reflection, privacy, intimacy and quiet for the rest of the night. Sagittarius Moon moves in at 1:59 am EST, 10:59 pm Pacific time. Today's color is Purple. 

Thursday: Sagittarius Moon acts with The Sun and planets in air and fire signs for the next two days. Energy may rise as we open our minds to plans and ways to follow our dreams. Education may be in the spotlight through college acceptances and other new plans. The Moon and Saturn work together for group endeavors. Today's color is Orange.

Friday: Sag Moon in harmony with Venus and Jupiter favors expansion and travel plans. Big ideas come up for action or strong consideration. Working with partners and groups is favored. The Moon is opposite Mars and this can lead to strong disagreements also. Philosophies and approaches may be challenged by those with opposing ideas. Information and opinions may be scattered or pushed on us. Try not to rush as the Moon squares Neptune and this can cloud good judgment. It may be a message to slow down and take time to sort things out. Mercury has a similar message through alignment with Pluto, planet of mysteries, secrets and the shadow side. Sit with information, use your intuition, and act when you are truly ready. Journal, draw or meditate to slow down this week's active brainwaves. Today's color is Blue.

Saturday: Void Moon 1:24 am EST after a Mercury square. At 4:13 am EST, the Moon enters Capricorn. Our practical side may quickly emerge, and we'll need that as the Moon and Uranus align. As something shifts or changes, respond without too much reaction or impulsivity. Mercury changes signs at 11:41 pm EST, increasing changes of heart and mind all weekend long. Either information or the big picture may shift in an unforeseen way. Mercury in Aries will lead to initiating, acting on ideas, reinventing, and rising from the rubble in some cases. Get grounded and real under this Capricorn Moon. What needs your energy? What is the next step? Today's color is Black.

Sunday: Yesterday was the Spring Equinox, when daylight and darkness are in balance. This week we move through waxing Moon time, preparing for Libra Full Moon in exactly one week. Both Spring and waxing Moon signal rising and growing energy. Today may feel quite full and changeable. Gemini Moon squares Venus in Pisces at 8:04 am EDT, and then the Moon quickly shifts to Cancer at 8:18 am, minutes later. Venus quickly moves on to Aries, the sign of spring fever. Already there are several energies shifting and coming up simultaneously. Will everything feel too fast or fleeting? Uncertainty or insecurity could arise this morning. Moon in Cancer tends to be emotional and protective or guarded. The Moon and Sun square, a monthly occurrence on the way to Full Moon. Sit with anything you're undecided on, especially personal and relationship matters. Mercury aligns with Uranus, which feels extremely changeable in terms of plans and opinions. Quick changes of heart can be expected. You also may suddenly know just what to do, or not do. Mars forms a trine with Saturn in the air signs. Act with intelligence and sense of reason. Use wisdom over impulse. Today's color is Purple. 

Monday: Cancer Moon aligns with Uranus and Mercury for a continuation of yesterday's rapid changes of heart. Feel your way through something with intuition as your guide. Blend reason and science with gut instincts. Changes of plan are called for. Today and tomorrow, be aware of anything that presents false or misleading information. Stay grounded in what you know. We may feel very creative, smart, psychic and adaptable. Wear Blue today.

Tuesday: Cancer Moon aligns with Neptune overnight and opposes Pluto at 11:26 am EDT. Introversion, self reflection, working with one's shadow, and overcoming fear (in some cases) are ways to start the day. If you are dealing with people and changing situations, be aware of potential falsehoods or romantic notions. Creative outlets and projects may be a great outlet for emotional energy. Immerse in your process. From 11:26 am to 5:56 pm EDT, the Moon is void of course, waiting to change signs. It's not a good time to shop or to make promises. Leo Moon arrives for the next couple of days, aligning with Venus tonight for inspiration, warmth, excitement about new projects and about people you're getting to know and the potentials in that. Mercury and Mars are squaring in mutable signs and we may feel argumentative, at odds or decide to retreat from overwhelming situations. Leo Moon seems to override this with sense of light and optimism. Look toward the brighter light. Wear Gold today.

Wednesday: Leo Moon in harmony with the Sun in Aries is a fire sign dream! Mars, Aries' ruling planet, also aligns with the Moon. It's an action starting day. Energize around a new plan, a project, or exciting collaboration. Leo Moon also helps muster up courage and commitment needed as the Moon squares Uranus and opposes Saturn. Those are not easy aspects, and both expected and unexpected challenges may arise. Leo Moon strength helps keep us centered and open, persistent and confident enough to say or do what's needed. Today's color is Yellow.

Thursday: Leo Moon opposite Jupiter indicates growth through exploration, study, through opening to different views, perspectives and experiences. In some cases, this will require a leap of faith and courage. Leave limiting beliefs behind. From 9:27 am EDT, the Moon is void of course, changing signs at 11:25 pm EDT. These hours are good for creative process, rehearsing, studying, and performing. They are not designed for major decisions, announcements or commitments. A carefree adventure is one way to spend this day as it makes for a nice day off. Today's color is Purple.

Friday: Virgo Moon, getting close to Full. Full Moon is on Sunday in Libra. Due dates, signals abut closure and reasons to complete are in the air. The Sun and Venus meet in Aries and we are likely to welcome newness and to refresh or reconnect in relationships. The Moon aligns with Uranus in Taurus reminding us to try flexible approaches and to be versatile in methods and thinking. Today's color is Pink.

Saturday: Virgo Moon opposes Mercury and Neptune in Pisces. Timing and scheduling pose challenges. Blend practical with imaginative. Try not to rule things out too quickly. See if something worthwhile could work, even if it seems a bit out of reach. The Moon is just about Full. Emotions want expression. The Moon aligns with Pluto, ruler of the hidden and undercurrents. Something secret, unsaid or repressed often comes out of hiding during a Full Moon and this weekend is no exception. Pluto facilitates that tonight. Void Moon begins at 7:48 pm and the Moon moves to Libra at 1:22 am EDT and is exactly full at 2:48 pm EDT on Sunday. Today's color is Light Blue.

Sunday: After Saturday's New Moon, the progress and movement is likely to be palpable with Mars in harmony with Aries Moon. The vibe is active, dynamic, and outgoing. Later, the Moon is in harmony with Saturn, helping with vision and decisions of a serious, committed nature. Orange is today's color. 

Monday: Aries Moon aligns happily with Jupiter, encouraging us to open to new opportunities and also to take active steps toward goals. This may include becoming part of a group, exploring and experimenting, and thinking bigger. Later in the evening, the Moon squares Pluto and you may contemplate your place in the world, what you want next and whether you're ready for change or not. Meanwhile, Mercury moves from Aquarius to Pisces, a contemplative and emotional place for our communication planet. Connect with the ones you love during the next few weeks to soothe Mercury's need for feeling. Write poetry or music, or discover something new that speaks to your soul. Void Moon begins 11:40 pm EST. Wear Red.

Tuesday: At 6:56 am EDT, the Moon enters Taurus. Taurus Moon in harmony with Mercury draws us to comfort including the comfort of a loved ones embrace or the familiar voice on the phone or video chat. Draw upon your resources and relationships as you build a sense of security and ground in the present time. Things are changing and it could feel both rapid and slow, either or both. Taurus Moon reminds us of small, meaningful steps rather than quick, rushed ones. Step outside and see how it feels with feet firmly planted. Decisions and actions will have emotional tone during Mercury's time in Pisces. Pisces Sun aligns with Pluto in Capricorn, feeling cautiously optimistic and deeply in tune with self and nature. Light Blue is today's color. 

Wednesday: Taurus Moon squares Saturn in Aquarius, adding an air of gravity and importance to business and decisions. We may grapple with facts and stand in inner or external conflict in the process. WE must decide when to firmly hold our ground and our convictions and when to yield. That is today's theme and question. Tomorrow may bring more answers and openings. Green is today's color.

Thursday: Taurus Moon squares Jupiter. What will you do about that possibility or opportunity? How will you be part of a group-as a stubborn, unyielding personality or a thoughtful compromiser who helps make important things happen? Taurus favors persistence and Jupiter favors expansion and broad perspective. The Moon goes on to align in harmony with Neptune, Venus, Pluto and the Sun giving the go ahead, the green light, and the love and meaningfulness to back well intended actions. Reach out, give, connect, take care. Void Moon from 4:40 pm to 7:47 pm EDT. Celebrate something offered or accomplished. Gemini Moon enters at 7:47 pm EST and acts until Sunday morning. Today's color is Pink.

Friday: Gemini Moon squares Mercury. This leads to indecisiveness or what feels like too much or too little information. Mars and the Moon meet to override that and encourage action, communication, and intellectual stimulation. Learn or act on something novel. Saturn is the final planet to engage with the Moon today. People and interactions strongly influence in the form of a little push, or a cooperative effort. Align with wisdom and experience. Wear Yellow. 

Saturday: Spring Equinox happens at 5:37 am EDT as the Sun moves to Aries. Gemini Moon continues through today and into early Sunday. Jupiter's influence opens us to people and experiences, team efforts, and future vision. The Moon squares Neptune challenging us to blend our left and right brain activity, to be imaginative in an intelligent way, to feel the magic and realize it's also science. It's International Astrology Day too. Today's color is Blue.

Listening to new music by Genevieve Stokes. Check it out.

Pisces energies float around us all week, peaking with New Moon on Saturday. The details are ahead.

Wishing you peace & freedom to move and speak from your heart!

Robin

Sunday: Capricorn Moon aligns with Uranus in Taurus and Venus in Pisces. You may find yourself doing something, or being with someone, you wouldn't have expected or predicted. Try not to second guess yourself or overanalyze or you'll talk yourself out of it. This might be a day to soften up a bit and pay attention to emotions and responses, especially if you're experiencing something uncommon and feel surprised. Wear Brown. I'm thinking of tiger eye stone if you employ crystals in your jewelry or environment. Capricorn Moon goes on through Monday.

Monday: The Moon aligns with the Sun and it's a mile marker on the way to New Moon. Waning Moon favors clearing the way for what's coming, even if you don't yet know what it is. Declutter. Let go of an old way of doing things that's not relevant anymore. The Moon aligns with Neptune in Pisces for imagination and feeling at you work, problem solve or play with color or creation. Finally, the Moon meets Pluto in their monthly alliance, leading to reflection, possibly melancholy, and internal processes. At 7:52 pm the Moon becomes void of course until 2:41 am EST and we may need some solitary time or possibly to talk with someone we deeply trust. Wear Silver.

Tuesday: Aquarius Moon time begins at 2:41 am EST. The Moon aligns with Mars in Gemini, opening us to collaborations, brainstorming, and experimenting. Ideas and interactions build upon each other and include hypothesizing, trying out, writing, and engaging in meetings with others. Keep your eyes and ears open and hear even beyond the actual words. Keep your nervous system balanced since there's alot of electrical and dynamic energy that can often feel overwhelming or catch up to you later. Avoid an intellectual, interpersonal or mental health hangover later by taking time and space between activities. The Moon and Taurus square which could mean conflicting approaches or an unforeseen change within a group. Finally, the Moon meets with Saturn for commitments and solutions and maybe a serious or meaningful talk. Today's color is Blue.

Wednesday: Aquarius and Pisces action through three conjunctions. Conjunctions maximize the energy of the sign involved. These powerful meetings emphasize the degree, sign and qualities of two heavenly bodies at once. It's like joining forces with someone who can help forward your plans. First, Jupiter and the Moon meet in Aquarius, expanding our relationships and opportunities. This feels like growth and an expanded mind. When broadening your horizons and investigating your potentials, this is valuable and supportive. Next, a Sun/Neptune conjunctions in Pisces brings out our creative, romantic, and compassionate sides. This expressive conjunction helps us take the love we have inside outward through generosity, even with those we do not know, or through the arts where we can freely show our inner selves. Then, the Moon meets Mercury at 10:32 pm EST. Notice who gets in touch (or who you connect with intentionally) tonight. You may join or meet with a group, receive an acceptance or other important communication, or have an enlightening talk. The Aquarius Moon is void of course from 10:32 pm to 9:44 am EST, so organize for the morning. Today's color is Turquoise. 

Thursday: A slow or forgetful start is possible. Go slow and see that you're organized with calendar and any obligations synced up. At 9:44 am EST, the Moon moves to Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac. This time of the lunar cycle is for letting go or possibly for finishing up. New Moon arrives Saturday for beginnings and restarts. Emotional release or an emotional ending could come now. If you need to break up with someone, it's not the worst time. If you need to let go of an idea or plan, Mars in Gemini can help with alternate possibilities. The Moon squares Mars, so it's edgy and may bring up sensitivities and feelings. Open yourself to what's next instead of hanging on, clear space rather than stashing clutter. Trust your heart to know what's right for you. Exchanges of ideas may include rough spots, pushiness or resistance. Know when to let things be and step back. Blend emotion and intelligence. Wear Black.

Friday: On this day before New Moon in Pisces, the Moon meets Venus and Neptune (Neptune at 12:52 am EST on Saturday, actually). These conjunctions are romantic, emotion based, and creative. Performers may enjoy the vibe and practice a role. Artists, engage in your process. Dreamers, rest extra and revel in images, symbols and imagery. It's a day to take a break from and check out from everyday media and onslaughts of information. We may be impressionable. An impression of ocean, river, forest, or field may be better for well being. Work with healing energies and sources before the New Moon. Immerse in rest, sleep and, if possible, water. The Moon also aligns with Uranus in Taurus which may be felt as awakenings. Today's color is Pink.

Saturday: New Moon in Pisces at 5:21 am EST. The earliness of New Moon means we can work with it right away, acting on intentions, setting goals, releasing stagnant ideas or emotions, and opening our hearts to our highest potentials. New Moon is most closely influenced by Pluto and Uranus, bringing awareness to our secrets, desires, and sudden realizations through 'aha moments'. Void Moon 11:38 am to 6:44 pm EST. Is it possible to float or flow with things during these hours, and just see where they take you? Can we let go of the plan and open space for something even better or more important? Aries Moon takes over this evening, though Neptune and Venus meet for a major dose of romance and love. Loving feelings infuse the night and morning and may extend to partnership, to our dearest friends, children, pets and other animal friends, and to spiritual beings as well. Immerse in love. Feel the love that extends to you. Trust that it's real. Today's color is White. 

Daylight Savings time begins at 2:00 am EST Sunday morning.

In Light.
