~Happy Full Moon on a Moon-day!!!

The affirmation that illustrates these opposing forces is:

"I lovingly assert myself."

The Moon is transiting 'the peace at all cost' Libra sign and these natives find it quite difficult to express what they really need. The Sun is transiting the opposite sign, aggressive, fiery Aries and these natives also find it hard to express their needs in an assertive way. What a lesson to find the balance between these two!!! It is not about me (Aries) and it is not about you, it is actually about us (Libra)!!!! It is about living in the spirit of cooperation and partnership giving birth to the whole which is greater that the sum of its parts.

Karmic Saturn is in its retrograde period reminding us that in order to achieve harmony in relationships we need to remain focused in the here and now practicing 'ecological strategies' allowing the energy to flow by letting go of the stagnant low energy thought forms. It is imperative for all of us to practice 'intentional communication' . We need to learn to communicate to one another in a more compassionate way because we are all suffering right now. This is a new language, it is the language of life!!!! And as the goddess of love and beauty walks next to the divine messenger of the gods in aggressive, fiery Aries, a more compassionate way of communicating our needs is much needed at this precise moment. Sweet Marshall Rosenberg describes en-lightening techniques to utilize to assertively express our needs. A non-violent way of communicating our message will definitely help us reconcile the opposing forces this particular Full Moon phase is cosmically presenting to us as a life lesson.

We get to choose, we get to practice the God-given power of choice. We enjoy free will, what a wonderful opportunity to choose to live our daily lives seeing others as a flawlessly reflection of our deeper selves and if we dislike what we see, we can always choose to pay a visit to our own underworld. We might be surprised, treasure lies deep within; we might find our lost inner beauty and strength while facing our fears. The gorgeous lotus flower 'springs' out of the mud.
